  • You could implement this for some shows and movies, but there's one big problem. Disney shouldn't have exclusivity rights to their own IPs? Netflix should have to give everyone else the shows they pay for and produce?

    I get where you're coming from in theory, but in practice it doesn't make sense. It would be like saying Nintendo must release their games on xbox and playstation.

  • Active user count is probably the single most important metric to whether a platform is successful and stays alive. Even above quality of content, as proven by many other social media platforms that thrive despite being flooded with trash content.

    No one wants to hang out in a ghost town.

  • I will concede that it would make some things easier, like if someone says are you busy on the 5th, you can instantly know the 5th is a Friday or whatever. But I still don't like it. And without researching in detail, I'm betting there are holidays, particularly religious ones, that wouldn't be okay with moving the date to match the weekend closest to it for reasons.

  • The main hiccup is the system is off by a day. Some people "fix" this by saying the extra day should be "new years day" or something similar that exists outside the main calendar and doesn't have an actual date or day assigned to it. Personally I think that's kind of silly but it does work.

    The second problem which to me is a much bigger problem, is he argues every month starting on Monday is a feature, I think it's a bug. The result of this is every date is the same day, every year. If you are born on a Wednesday, your birthday will always be on a Wednesday. I like it mixing up and getting to have your birthday on different days.

    Also almost everyone will have a new birthday they have to learn and too many people would simply be unwilling to go along with that.

    And all that is ignoring the monumental task of changing every computer system in the world.

    Edit: also 13 is just kind of a rubbish number to work with and doesn't divide into anything nicely.

  • They also have hydropower which provides a constant base load, and basically they have just heavily optimised their distribution of power to be very efficient. In emergencies they are also able to import power from neighbouring countries.

  • I think the biggest problem is how does the landlord break lease? Because if you can be kicked out you lose all that you've accumulated against your will. If you can't be evicted, you've forced the landlord to both keep you as a renter and keep ownership of the property until it's paid by the renter, which isn't necessarily realistic.

    They should be able to sell the property if they need to. The person renting being part of the transaction and forced to be allowed to continue renting is only kind of a solution, because the new owners might want to live in that house, or have a say in who rents it. There's also the issue of funds already accumulated by the landlord. Does that get deducted off the price they sell it for?

    I think there's just a few too many veriables for it to work as a solution.
