This is the perfect example of cutting off one’s nose to spite the face.

All this bullshit about providing user experience is hilarious. You use the ad stack: Google AMP. This is an engineering cop-out.
There are no “good guy” companies. Stop electing obstructionists who have no interest in governing. Regulation is the only solution.

To be fair, isn't that type of criticism exactly the thing an open discussion board is meant to encourage?
He’s lying. There is only one such comment and it is laughably obtuse. Influencing opinion without addressing the topic is exactly what Reddit is for.

Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. The media wanted a live, reality TV-style event and didn’t get it. Last night was supposed to be huge for ad revenue and now they’re out for blood. Imagine waiting patiently for conclusive results in every state. How are they supposed to run ads if people aren’t glued to the screen?
What’s bad for the 24-hour news cycle is good for Democracy.

Do you feel like they'd rig the app and risk the company over that?
No one in this thread is thinking. This is a thread for Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.
Rust doesn't by default, though you could certainly make a wrapper type that does. You could do the same in any language that has algebraic data types (rust enum's), or another sensible way of forcing you to check certain kinds of errors.
It does. There are types in the standard library for non-zero numbers[1]. While it would involve writing a wrapper, Rust does provide for customizing the behavior of operators[2]. The example implementation for Div (the "/" operator) even shows how to make a type that panics when trying to divide by zero. One could also return a Result so that trying to divide by zero can fail gracefully.

They know exactly who's watching what. Those shows were just not hits.
You point out that Netflix has usage data as if you have access to that data. Some people like ten-hour reality TV binges and some people like thoughtful content. Netflix is just mirroring cable TV. Since Netflix uses product placement, especially in its age-targeted content, quantity of viewing time is more profitable than quality.
Journalists with corporate sponsors are just advertisers by another name.
