Representative image After years of turning a blind eye, Netflix is starting to get serious about password sharing. In 2016 on the cusp of subscriber growth, Netflix described password sharing as a "positive thing". It reasoned that people you share the password with eventually sign up for accounts. Fast forward to 2023. Netflix reported that its subscriber base has shrunk for the first time in a decade and said that password sharing was part of the problem. It doesn't help that the competition has grown significantly since 2016. In this fight for subscribers, Netflix will do anything to maintain its bottom line. The company said that "widespread account sharing (100M+ households) undermines our long-term ability to invest in and improve Netflix, as well as build our business."

STEVE HANKE And CALEB HOFMANN: The Fed Is Asleep At The Wheel And Americans Are Feeling The Consequences
The Federal Open Market Committee will meet on Wednesday, Feb. 1, to determine the direction of U.S. monetary policy. What will the Fed do? Since March 2022, it has already raised the fed funds rate by 4.25 percentage points, the largest one-year increase in four decades. When it comes to speculation over the direction of the fed funds rate, the financial press is filled with musings from Fed watchers and assorted wags. That is just background “noise.” (RELATED: EJ ANTONI: Wokeness Is Slowly Hollowing Out The Fed) There is only one objective measure of where the fed funds rate is heading — in other words, the “signal,” rather than the “noise.” It’s the Chicago Mercantile Exchange FedWatch Tool , which translates the prices of trades on fed funds futures contracts (read: market prices) to put a probability on where the fed funds rate will go. As Friedrich Hayek taught us long ago in his classic 1945 article, “ The Use of Knowledge in Society ,” an article that landed him … [Read more...] about STEVE HANKE And CALEB HOFMANN: The Fed Is Asleep At The Wheel And Americans Are Feeling The Consequences

Neighborhood To Watch: Astoria, Queens, New York
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Astoria, a bustling neighborhood of Queens, New York has long been attracting residents of Manhattan who seek out more affordable housing options. According to economists, affordability and access to Manhattan are driving the current surge in interest and new residents. This, paired with the fact that Western Astoria signifies one of the last developable waterfront areas in New York City, has ignited a massive demand for homes for purchase and rent. The neighborhood offers the space and value NYC residents crave, particularly with the increased time spent at home, that originally put Brooklyn on the map but no longer exists. Many consider the area as one of the last places to score a deal in the City. Nestled along the East River, Astoria is one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods dating back to the 17th century when early farmsteads along the waterfront grew into bustling hamlets. In the early 19th century wealthy … [Read more...] about Neighborhood To Watch: Astoria, Queens, New York

Three Things That ‘Armored Core VI’ Really Needs To Get Right
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Now that Armored Core VI is very much a real thing, it’s worth looking back at the series as a whole and what this new game needs to get right. To give a bit of personal context, I have been playing the Armored Core games since the 1997 original and have finished every game in the series . I know these games very well and have a great deal of affection for them. As such, I really want Armored Core VI to do well and to reinvigorate the series not only for longtime fans but especially for newer players that have yet to learn the joys of being a mecha pilot. With all this in mind, here are three things that I think Armored Core VI really needs to get right in order for the game to succeed. Controls And Camera While many will say that Elden Ring is hard, almost no-one complains about the controls. This is because Elden Ring’s controls are both intuitive and modern.

Everything We Know About ‘Lockwood And Co’ Season 2 On Netflix
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin If you’re a fan of the new ghost-hunting drama Lockwood and Co. on Neflix, I think it may be time to start being at least a little bit concerned about its potential season 2 renewal. For starters, no, Netflix has not announced anything official about Lockwood and Co. yet, either cancelation or renewal for season 2. But watching the show’s performance, I’m a bit concerned. Why? Well, there’s the obvious, that we have seen Netflix cancel countless YA shows in the past, with very few running the gauntlet to survive to a second or third season. On the surface, Lockwood and Co. is exactly the type of show that Netflix is prone to cancel, and as such it would have to perform pretty extraordinarily to get noticed. I fear it is not performing well enough. Lockwood and Co. debuted at a decent #2 in the top 10 list, but it never reached number one and is already starting to fall fast, currently down to #5 in the US after … [Read more...] about Everything We Know About ‘Lockwood And Co’ Season 2 On Netflix
