Been trying to decide whether to do this myself, this really a dark pattern?

We're not asking until until they try to use the feature that requires location, but are using the additional pop-up. Rationale being that they probably want to allow it or they wouldnt be using app, and making it so they dont mistakenly deny and have to mess with setting is really more of a convenience.

But ya it does seem to go against the OS defined behavior.


They still use go.com?

Lol, everytime I see that domain all I can think of is it being the place where Infoseek went to die.


What in the fuck, at least there's netflix still, for now.

We don't want to see ads, we're willing to pay not to see ads, fuck off with the ads.

(account not currently active so not sure how bad ads really are, but when I get it the non-premium plan is basically no longer an option)

Youtube Red I might pay for, but still mad they won't let me watch vids on Ipad with screen off now so haven't signed up out of spite.


It's only 7 recent shows [0]. Also, consider Netflix and Hulu aren't competitors. They offer different content, mostly. Hulu has more recent and a far larger back catalog of popular television shows. Netflix has more older movies, original content, and a sprinkling of older television shows.

I'm not defending Hulu, I don't have a subscription. Consider that it's a fraction of the price of cable which has commercials, even with the limited commercials for $11.99, it's quite the bargain. It's on demand too and supported by just about every recent smart TV or streaming device.

> While the list of shows may change, they are currently: Grey’s Anatomy, Once Upon a Time, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Scandal, Grimm, New Girl, and How To Get Away With Murder.

Well first one got idea to use bone to bash heads from mysterious black box, the rest, as they say, is history.

Its an exercise in learning how to price a product.


How long till we reach the point where the only viable strategy against the enemy bot ai is to give full control to our bot ai? Even smallest delay would matter so too dangerous to have human in the loop.


You made me think of roko's bassilisk [1] I must say that I, for one, welcome the rule of our robot overlords.

Never because when you surrender your freedom the cure will be worse than the disease, always.


Never, since you have asked this question.


"for some it's not significant."

where do i sign up?!?


ya its kinda crazy. the realization that nicotine doesnt actually calm you, just stops the lack of nicotine from stressing you out.


Yeah, makes you wonder how much the psychological part affects you physically, and vice versa.

I often ask myself if the positive things about smoking were just delusions to justify feeding the nicotine addiction, or if the physical consumption was a product of my mind being convinced it was a good thing somehow.


In low doses (like smoking cessation meds rather than cigarettes) nicotine is a pretty effective occasional stimulant for someone who does not have a tolerance for the drug. https://www.gwern.net/Nicotine


To a new user, heroin is f'in amazing, so I hear. For an addict it just gets them back to normal.

Absolutely there's a reason people get addicted to cigs in the first place. But say, driving down a scenic road on nice day with window down, without even the slighted urge to light up a cig, is not something I would have imagined while still a nicotine addict. I mean I'll think about smoking a blunt sure, but that different.

Also glad I quit before all the e-cig stuff came out. If I was able to smoke AND breath prob woulda never got off.


Well ya, was never able to figure out what a netmask did so went into programming instead.
