Plus, the news of this would already be priced into the stock, so if anything the price is already low and these companies would need to pivot their business (which would increase the value again) or die (which would lower the price marginally, to zero). Either way, shorting is a bad strategy in this case.

To rephrase: I would not spend 30 minutes listening to ads in order to save 30 minutes of spare time. Probably even less because ads are very disruptive to me, wasting more precious time.

But that is eating from my time. Given time=money in the above statement, this would eventually bring the value down to zero again.

Fuzzy search solves this pretty good

Saving 30 minutes a month (or even week), Spotify starts to sound like a good deal. I'm in!

But the dish washer doesn't get to cook...

Yes. The whole post is a trick with statistics. Web pages have a limited lifespan. You can do the aame trick with human life spans.

"50 % of humans that lived 60 years ago are now dead". You would tweak the numbers to be factual but something like that makes sense to me.

If you only keep the samples you started out with, of course it's going to decline over time. The data is guaranteed to not grow since nothing is ever added.

I don't think n64 did. They even had major frame drops in many games.

This is the way! You gotta stick to it on the weekends. No exceptions.

Personally, I sleep in till 9 in the weekends. Wake up a mess early Monday. Mondays suck but it's still worth it gor me.

If we must compare them: Yes, I agree that the violations made by religious fanatics are way more worrying than these others.

It doesn't make them not fit the list of things that are problematic though. You asked for more examples of beliefs. You got them.

That's not at all what I said. I just listed few examples of where beleifs have gone too far as to infringe the rights of others who don't share that belief. I haven't even taken a stand on any of those issues. I haven't even compared them.
