True. I was imagining some of the things NPD was able to do while having few seats with the Liberal party, but having PQ and PCQ collaborate wouldn't be as fun.

I really don't mind the A/B testing of titles and thumbnails since creators were already doing it manually, but 3 different edits of the same video? That just seems like a ton more work for creators and also opens the possibility of showing very different things to viewers.

The multi-billionaire CEO of Shopify thinks a “good system” is one where the poor don’t get to vote in elections and the rich get to vote several times over. I wish I was kidding. Oh, and guess what? This guy and his pals are trying to influence our politics -- and they're arguably succeeding:

Very cool that Shopify’s CEO thinks the poor should have far less of a vote than the rich. Still worth that ad read money, folks?
Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke says “good system.” In response to the following proposal: 

“Interesting... what about weighted voting proportional to the level of income tax you pay? (no income tax paid - O vote, $1-100k - 1 vote, $100-200k 2 votes and so on... cap it at 5 votes for $500k+. For those that constantly complain about the wealthy not paying tax/fair share they'd have nothing to worry about right? Why not reward representation of taxation and build a democracy around those that foot the bill?”

Back in October, Rockstar Games fired 34 employees for alleged gross misconduct. The severity of these firings could have spelled the end for a burgeoning union effort that was underway, but it didn't. In fact, the union is now *bigger* than it's ever been before. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym4z...

My library has a lot of games and I've borrowed many of them over the years. At least Nintendo will probably stick with physical games for a while. I also often buy and sell used games, are they going to make up for it in some way?

Another benefit of consoles is that you can borrow games from your local library (if they have games), buy used, resell, share with friends, etc. If you take advantage of all these benefits, the math becomes less obvious.
