Considering how much money pay per view sporting events are able to charge, there is probably a lot of upside to the price. This could be a lot like movie theater tickets where the viewership plummets, but the audience that remains is payin

I'm not sure about Netflix, but certainly on Amazon, Hulu, and HBO Go some shows get forced pre-rolls promoting other shows. Contextually it seems relevant but it certainly is a gateway to more ads. My prediction: once Netflix growth f

I would prefer to log everything on an owned system and test out bots through third-party APIs. Poking around with options now, but will probably just bootstrap with human operators and pre-canned responses until something makes sense. It&#

I definitely wrote things making fun of Jet.com, but now I order household goods from there rather than Amazon. I even see a strong appeal of physically going to Target now verse trying to buy sheets from Amazon. On Amazon, for every item y

Being in the computing world we take deflation for granted. Things get cheaper and better, year after year and in a non-linear fashion. No one argues that things would be way better in 2016 if everyone had to pay $26,000 for 1980s era 8086s

The unfortunate reality of censorship is that it allows ideas to be rewritten because the past has vanished. Re-branding doesn't even require a name change. Take a look at Wikipedia; even though controversial topics may be locked down

This is exactly why so much suspect ad inventory continues to be sold online. Back in the old days an advertiser could watch TV and say definitively if their ad played in the purchased slot or not. The larger problem here is, depending on w

Due to the TCPA rules in the US, the penalties for just missing a few details are high enough many companies just avoid it altogether. I guess this could be an attempt at a loophole since people are doing it "manually." On the oth

Whether Trump or anyone can bring back jobs is subjective, and that is the biggest problem with separating "real" from "fake" - I don't believe it is possible to do without in any objective way at all. The policies

What year was this? I grew up in a midwest town and when I was young, and there were no black residents, but by the time I left there was. There certainly were other minority racial groups as well as gays as lesbians.
