YouTube is not profitable, and Alphabet is fine with that. It is their “moat” protecting them from having a true competitor in the user-uploaded video space and gives them a secondary set of users to mine data from and retarget Google ads to. The only company I could see competing would be Amazon reworking Amazon Video to focus on user-content and changing up their contract structures to utilize AWS storage that clients are paying for but not fully using. I don’t think that would be much better though, and I don’t see them having the motivation. Facebook would have the motivation but not the means to sink that much capital into that scale of video storage. Facebook Video is trash as it is, and as a company they are an even worse platform to be on.

Sounds like strain. You are still young but as you get older more and more of these mysterious overuse injuries will appear with more and more frequency. Welcome to adulthood, expect your first grey hair to appear at any time within the next 7 years.

Well, none of those companies have offices in Palo Alto. Google HQ is in Mountain View, Facebook HQ is in Menlo Park; not really marching distance from each other... but offices for Facebook and Google as well as Twitter's HQ are in San Francisco, all located along Market Street...

She’s as dark as shaved coconut on vanilla ice cream in a milk glass bowl under studio lights.

Curious that the body cam footage was released less than 24 hours after the fact.

Possible police force pede?

Sanitariums were for recovering from tuberculosis (Latin sanitas means health). Lunatic asylums were for the nutjobs.

While I know they’re often miss used, I think the use of adverbs like “honestly“, “seriously“, and “literally” are meant to preface against something surprising or extreme being taken as hyperbole or metaphor. It’s so abused by the left because they are obsessed with making fantasy a reality with no capacity for calculating real outcomes and repercussions.

Gallup thinks that 4.5% of the population, nearly one in twenty, identify as LGBT. What a load of crap.
