Liking the fees so far

It's all about the future distribution of tv , makes perfect sense

So did solarcity and tesla, but yes think of the fees

Makes perfect sense. At&t is the distributor, TW the content. The changing environment of how people consume media is causing a disruption to age-old business models. Its akin to the Comcast-NBC Universal tie up.

Correct, at&t can't block competition but that's not really the goal. Content is king these days, more than ever. The distributors are worried that the balance of power is shifting further and further away from them. For distributors, its all about eyeballs. That's what drives the ad dollars. "Easily license out the content"?Have you noticed that when the contracts between content providers and distributors are up, the renewal negotiations have been getting more and more contentious? It's because of the shift in where the eyeballs are. And where they're headed. Someone would try to buy Disney if they could, but they're too big.

like

On record, Disney has stated that they would be the buyer , not be bought. They are big enough and have the content to supply. However , from a business model perspective, they don't have a means of distribution and hence would look to buy a streaming service with expertise i.e. Hulu

like

^^ Time Warner is not in the distribution business, this makes no sense. They are clearly a content provider.

But is the content really worth $80+ BN dollars? Based on the antitrust laws, AT&T can't block the competition from obtaining TWC content & AT&T could have easily license out the content. I'm not saying that the deal doesn't add value to AT&T but it could've achieved the same result for less.

Need hair advice for how to make my hair look ok for the office. I’m Korean, with thick, straight hair and I’ve never done anything to it - I never even blow dry it, and I’ve always worn it down. But through my 20s, my hair has gotten more and more coarse and frizzy. Insanely coarse and wirey with random kinks in the coarse strands — no hairspray, frizz cream, or oil has been able to calm it. I’ve tried deep conditioners too. I have 0 hair skills - are frizzy ponytails my only option?

I recently started my first post-college job as a software developer and have to make a decision pretty soon: front-end development or back-end development. I really like being closer to the user and the creativity as far as front-end. But I also reallly really enjoy math and logic and the more complex side to back-end. My dream would be to do full stack but thats not an option. Scared of getting pigeon holed. Any suggestions as to what to do / tips?
