    What per-person compensation...so $350M divided by the supposed 47.8M customers is a grand total of $7.32 per person. Or less, if more customers were affected. Is my math wrong? (350M / 47.8M) In other words, at a constant rate, the more people that were affected the less each person's personal data is worth, according to the courts.
    AFAIK your math is wrong. First, the attorneys take they lie cut. The reminding money will  be divided by the number of individuals that joined the class - if you didn’t sign up, in the words of the android Bishop “no money”.

    AI, your videos are sooo annoying and hard to dismiss!! My brain has developed a mental association with your videos as being annoying, even though I don't often watch them.
    First, I always have to pause the videos because I'm trying to focus on reading the article, the video often has nothing to do with the article! Then, while scrolling, the video pops out again and sticks to the far right side of my screen. And as if that's not enough, the X sits right behind the scroll bar so I have to wait until the scrollbar disappears before I am able to click it!
    Do you have someone on your team that can fix the experience and plan for a successful roadmap for your videos effort? I don't think your videos are meeting a desired objective, unless that objective is to be super annoying!
    I find those videos also very annoying in their behavior. Therefore, I auto-switch to reader mode which eliminates the video.

  • Peloton halts production of fitness bikes, cites 'significant' loss of demand

    Refusing to recall when you have a serious safety issue even after a child died certainly does not help: 

    Peloton CEO     John Foley was forced to admit the company was wrong to fight the recall request. "We feel like we have some work to do to get back on the right side of the line with trust and safety," he said Thursday, the day after agreeing to the "voluntary" recall.
