After the recent LinkedIn scraping court rulings, it seems Twitter should be legally scrapable. Twitter is largely public content submitted by their users, which Twitter does not own. It’s plausible this is why Instagram removed public acce

There are reasonable concerns about AWS from non-retail too. AWS is using proprietary cloud services to lock in customers. Future increases in AWS's prices will be passed down to the end users. I don't see it as so much AWS/G

I suspect in the next recession, municipalities are going to grasp for revenue from fines and fees. Traffic & parking violation escalation will come easy at that point. I’m particularly alarmed by the rental trucks being used in Manhatt

Even a lot of “popular” site stuff ends up in spam. I basically have to regularly check my spam box, which previously I would look at a few times a year when a password reset or something didn’t show up. Anti-trust regulators should specifi

The Bloomberg articles are generally garbage, the domain should really get a penalty. They used to be fairly great, but there were some management shifts at Bloomberg News and it never was the same after that.

How will there be a race to the bottom on price, when companies like Netflix are barely cashflow positive right now? Will subscribers really decide to pay $5 a month for a subscription with a bunch of shows they don’t want to watch instead

You also have cartoons on Netflix and Hulu with full frontal nudity and graphic violence (decapitation, disembowelment, etc.) I think what happened was the kids who weren’t allowed to watch The Simpsons, grew up, and realized the entire thi

My theory is when you are trying to run a business that doesn’t generate cashflows and have no idea how you are going to get to that point, you start wasting your time with crazy stuff. Everyone knows there is a big difference between a com

It’s morally absurd, no one has suggested Jeffrey Epstein or Bill Cosby could donate money to sex abuse victims and then what they did would suddenly be acceptable. It’s one thing to be wealthy and claim global warming is the most serious t

Given how outdated most Android phones are, they are substantially more of a security risk than a Nest (of some sort), Alexa, or Apple smart speaker. With Google your facing someone substantially fucking up, a search warrant, or compromised

I went from 90% of my online orders at amazon to maybe 35%. Some things have always sucked, liked clothes. Thanks to software like Shopify, ordering from other e-commerce sites is pretty painless now. When you factor in finding the product,

I’ve been a user of Astropad. It really was an exceptional piece of software which greatly increased the useful value of owning an iPad with the Apple Pencil. I also own a Wacom tablet, but I could much more easily use Astropad for quick wo

None of this is surprising or remotely new for Google. As someone who has dealt with Google’s moderation process from other products, it’s basically the same shit as it was 15 years ago. This isn’t a Google Chrome Webstore specific issue, t

I don’t think you should be down voted, but seriously? Try hailing a cab in rush hour or bad weather. Or a neighborhood outside of Manhattan with few cabs. Before Uber that’s what we did, and it sucked.

The fundamental problem for Netflix is they have to make money from their subscriptions. Amazon can fund video production at break even or a loss indefinitely. Apple might be able to too, but their shareholders won’t be happy. Google+YouTub
