Except it already exists on MacOS...ascii said:Writing a protocol to keep multiple audio outputs in sync across wifi would be a nightmare, not surprised Airplay 2 is taking a while.

Spotify files to go public with 159 million active users, 71 million premium subscribers
Apple pays More Per Stream. However it isn’t just a music service so is likely able to amortise cost of running service across a wider cost base.cropr said:
Seeing these figures, I am wondering how much Apple is making with 50% of the subscribers. In this kind of business there is always some economy of scale so the cost per subscriber must be slightly higher for Apple.irnchriz said:71 million paying subscribers and making a 1.5 BILLION dollar loss. Ouch.

Spotify files to go public with 159 million active users, 71 million premium subscribers
Spotify’s bi-annual ‘trial’ campaigns which offer a free (or $0.99-for-three-months) taste of its premium tier. These trials accounted for 27%, 23% and 20% of added premium subscribers in 2015, 2016 and 2017 respectively.lkrupp said:
Free users cost money. Spotify has to pay the royalties even if the end user doesn’t through a subscription. So it boils down to how many of those free users eventually become subscribers.jbdragon said:fallenjt said:I wouldn't invest in this stock. Too much competition from the big guys: Apple, Google, Amazon...Going against these guys will be kiss of death sooner or later.
They can't cutoff the free users, and their overall numbers would drop quite a bit. Making their value look much worse. Instead of saying they have 170 million active users, it turns into 70 million active users. That wouldn't look so good.

Growing glass crack appears at Michigan Ave. Apple store in Chicago
Thanks Sherlock /sdachar said:If the building structure relies on the roof heating to deal with ice and snow, and then the system failed, will the structural components be designed to take the additional load without any consequences ?
Glass curtain walling would not normally be part of the structural integrity of the building. I have no knowledge of how much glass like this expands and contracts or how flexible the expansion joints could be. The Architects and Structural Engineers should have taken this all into consideration when designing the building.
If everything is properly designed and the loss of the roof heating was not critical then it might be an issue with just one glass window. If it is not a one off then that is possibly more significant and could required alterations to the design.
