The US Population Could Shrink in 2025, For the First Time Ever

An anonymous reader shares a report: The United States is on the precipice of a historic, if dubious, achievement.

Population growth has two sources: natural increase (births minus deaths) and net immigration (arrivals minus departures). Last year, births outnumbered deaths by 519,000 people. That means any decline... Read more

"That's not really the case, though, when it comes to digital content." Often, streaming services like Amazon Prime Video offer customers the options to "rent" digital content for a few days or to "buy" it. Some might think that picking "buy" means that they can...
