Doing some math:

The writers that were paid $3000 in the story wrote 11/134 episodes or 8.2%

The episodes are 42 minutes each, round down 2 minutes for skipped credits, divide 3x10^9 by 40 we get:

75 million episodes streamed (approx)

If they wrote 8.2 % of those streamed, then they wrote 6.15 million individually streamed episodes.

So writers got 0.049c per episode streamed or 0.00012c per minute streamed.

The average American watches 160 minutes of TV Video a day, so round that up to 5000 minutes a month, and say $10 a month per sub on that, we get $10 of revenue for 5000 minutes streamed, or 0.2c per minute.

So streaming revenue (using the above math and assumptions) would be 0.2c per minute of which the writers of the content that was streamed got 0.00012c or 0.06%.

Netflix 2023Q2 revenue was 8.18B and expenses were 6.36B.

2018 estimate figures the combined Netflix users streamed 164M hours per day

https://www.soda.com/news/netflix-users-stream-164-million-hours-per-day/

14.9Billion hours for that Quarter.

2018 saw 15.8 Billion annual revenue and 14.2Billion in costs. Gives us an estimate of 3.55B in costs for 1 quarter in 2018

894B minutes / 3.55 B in costs = 0.397c in costs per minute streamed.

Out of the 0.397c of costs (0.442c revenue) writers got 0.00012c or 0.0302% of the costs or 0.0272% of the revenue.

There's even more details on other news articles. The guy was making explicit threats to a lot of people:

"I want to stand over Bragg and put a nice hole in his forehead with my 9mm and watch him twitch as a drop of blood oozes from the hole as his life ebbs away to hell!!” he wrote

"The time is right for a presidential assassination or two,” Robertson reportedly wrote in a September 2022 Facebook post. “First Joe then Kamala!!!”

"Hey FBI, you still monitoring my social media? Checking so I can be sure to have a loaded gun handy in case you drop by again,” he wrote in one post.

I say let him participate via zoom, but with a filter applied. My suggestion:

Now the 3rd song in the musical from the IT Crowd's "Work Outing" episode makes sense.

While not not necessarily required by code, a drain pan + a leak sensor in the pan are useful in mitigating potential disasters.

Doesn't have to be fancy either, they make smart leak sensors or basic ones that are just ear piercingly loud.

As a CrossFit enthusiast, I wouldn't have tripped when rushing to let others know I use Arch.

Isn't it a bit hot for caldo?

While the title of the story is interesting, this tidbit was buried further down:

Sound of Freedom" surprised critics by smashing box office projections, grossing more than $150 million so far. The film had a $14.5 million budget. Social media users have suggested that the film is using "astroturfing," a practice of buying up hundreds of tickets to make theaters appear sold out, to inflate its success.

Several TikToks have gone viral showing "Sound of Freedom" theaters that were supposedly sold out completely empty once the movie begins.

The free speech argument is especially hilarious for a lot of conservative spaces, including /r/Conservative.

With the majority of threads marked "Conservatives Only" and constant bitching that up votes and down votes were due to brigadding.

Oh and slyly removing comments they don't like for whatever reason.

For Linux newbies, you can have both Arch and Ubuntu (or any 2+ of your favorite distro installed) by using different root partitions (16-32G) and sharing your home and other partitions.

Though it may work better if the distros you use have different desktop managers or the same desktop manager on the same major version number (KDE 3.x and 4.x settings don't mix).

If MC Escher illustrated Blame!

I had to check. TMZ link but still, best collection of her in candid shots:

Good for her, she's looking great!

We need something like the doomsday clock but with the degrees C change forecast based on current emissions and efforts.

We have this:

But I think it would be useful to have the current trajectory (in degrees C) along with a table showing the consequences of each 0.5 to 1C

It started with a good idea. Games were selling for the SNES and Genesis with 3D chips built in (and were really expensive). Like Virtua Racer (SVP chip) and Star Fox (FX chip). So why not sell the 3D chip add on separately instead of paying $100 a cartridge.

They botched the release (no 3 games at launch) and full 3D consoles were too close. The Saturn was released in the US 6 months after the 32X.

Would have been interesting if they had released it sooner or if they had released Virtua Racer or Virtua Fighter with the 32X instead of the standalone releases.

Neat video on the built in 3D chips:

They also raised the bridge an *official 8" and installed the crash bar you see in the video.

3 weeks later, the first truck hit the bar:

• The posted height is 12'4" now but it really is 12'8" at the lowest point under the bar.
• Edit: Videos on the raising of the bridge

We really need a camera on the other side to capture driver reactions.

Twitter/X link but it's the best version I've seen so far:

"I'm going through all my old X'cretions"

"I'm going to X'crete it"

The transition to lead free solder (and lack of experience using it) led to the XBox 360 red ring of death issues, Playstation 3 yellow light of death, and nVidia 8000 series no video failures.

And indeed the transition happened a long time ago.
