This was a big story with Netflix and ISPs about 15 years ago. If I can find a link, I'll post it.

I suspect that's fraught with copyright challenges, though it does seem like a fantastic approach on the face of it.
Wow, I've never seen pricing that bad without a loyalty card in the US. Not saying it doesn't happen, quite often it's a 20-30% discount for the loyalty card, and occasionally more if you use the app (which I refuse, since I use Jenny's number for the loyalty card).
You're right to call it a punishment. Wonder if we can aggregate the loyalty app program somehow, like host the app in an Android VM on a VPS that anyone can then access, so the data they get is muddied.
Sounds like you still beat your wife
Car insurance isn't efficient nor effective. It's a complete ripoff.
Go file a claim, see how much grief they put you through. Every claim I've ever made, I've had to file a complaint with the state insurance regulators to get my insurance company to reimburse me (and I've never been at fault).
Insurance is the problem for both cars and health. They artificially inflate pricing for both, because they get to determine what is paid and at what rates (especially for health care).
It's why you hear stories of things like tylenol at the hospital being $10 a pill. Since insurance may only reimburse the hospital at 10% of the filed claim, the hospital increases the cost 10x. (It's more complex that this, it's why medical coding is a specific job now, finding ways to code things to get sufficiently reimbursed).
May be natural, but so is body odor and we shower and use deodorants.
Yellow teeth don't look good, it's just that simple, and whitening isn't expensive for most people - just go buy a box of a generic whitening kit from a drugstore. If it works for you, you win the whitening lottery.
Read the directions, the warnings, follow them.
I can't use most of them, as they hurt my teeth (I'm sensitive to the ingredients).
Anyone of his generation.
I had to exain them to my parents, and my father was highly educated and technically trained. 1
No one foresaw this? Really? The first time I saw it, I was 10. I wondered why they even needed cashiers if we could just scan everything.
If a ten year old kid thought that decades ago, what were the adults that managed mainframes and minicomputers thinking?
Filters are your friend. If this is a text message, there are SMS apps which can filter messages by content.
I block all unknown numbers.
It's blocks airflow when only one door is open. A cache of sorts. Insulation isn't really the issue, since a single door allows free airflow, regardless of how well insulated the door is.
It's also part of why revolving doors are useful (though those also help with stack pressure in multi-story buildings).
Even very close data stations are limited. I regularly get incorrect rainstorm notifications from data gathered from a couple miles away.
That's a good point, now that they've increased video length
