I tried Netflix with Binge On on and off. It was clearly 480p when it was on and clearly 1080p when it was off.
I'm really not seeing the problem. OK, opt-out is kind of bad, but if they've been advertising it all over TV and if you log into your account either online or on your phone, there are clear descriptions of what it is and a giant button to turn it off on the first page.
This is about as unobtrusive as something like this CAN be.
It means that it barely happens to anyone. It's so rare that almost nobody knows someone that it happened to personally. And nobody rich, white and privileged knows anyone personally.
Well, considering you only give licenses to the top 25% of drivers and we give them to EVERYONE, I'd say the 3.62 with everyone driving is the preferred outcome.
I only had Dish because of my 78-year-old father, but now he has moved.
I called Dish and started asking questions about when my contract was up and what my early termination fee would be.
Amazingly, they offered me another $20-a-month off (in addition to the $30-a-month off I already negotiated in the past). I also saved money sending my father's two receivers back.
So now, it's not really worth it for me to quit early anymore, as it's only about a $60 difference over the next 6 months. I think Dish HD on two receivers is worth $10 a month. For now...
"Davis was the county clerk who asserted that her right to express her religion -- in the form of denying same sex couples the right to marry -- overrode the secular law of the land, which is about as bad a misunderstanding of how our secular government works as can be imagined."
Reasonable accommodation is given throughout government offices for people with religious beliefs. Women are allowed to wear a burqa in some instances even though other women in the same position aren't allowed to wear a scarf for non-religious reasons. Muslims are allowed breaks and rooms to pray at the appropriate times. Other employees may not get these breaks.
All Kim Davis was asking is for her assistant to be able to sign these marriage certificates that she does not agree to instead of being forced to sign them herself. Reasonable accommodation is what her lawyer argued and they ended up winning the case on its merits. They ended up doing EXACTLY what she asked for when she was thrown in jail. Her assistant is now allowed to sign the marriage certificate when she cannot in good conscience.
So actually, the only one misunderstanding how secular government works is you.
First, I disagree with your comment because most people won't allow other people into their networks for security reasons.
Second, the Netflix people have already indicated repeatedly that they are NOT idiots and they are just waiting for the idiot content industry to catch up to reality.

How? ESPN is in every level of service tier down to the very bottom, aren't they?
Other than 4 months of college football, I never watch ESPN. When I cut the cord, I will probably go with Sling TV for those 4 months.
