Totally agree. I currently have a SmartTv, a Blu-Ray player with very similar apps, and an X-Box with similar apps. They all have so much in common: streaming media from a network attached PC, youtube videos, amazon prime video, Netflix, et

You're on to something. The FCCs attempt to regulate prison phone call prices in the fall of 2015 has been put on hold via appeal by private corporations. Really, really sad. http://blogs.wsj.com/law/2016/03&#

This is an incredible idea that would add serious value to customers, which is precisely why the product managers (most of whom are complete idiots and totally oblivious) will completely and totally ignore it.

A huge problem that many smart people face (myself included) is dealing with "average" employees. The sort of person who sees software engineering as "just another job" similar to folding T-Shirts at the Gap or flipping

I agree, to a certain extent, but mostly for the initial load. I remember reading an interesting article about how twitter does exactly this with "time to first tweet" being the defining metric. Beyond that, I think stateless serv

Curious about next steps once you've built the plane. It seems that you're core mission is commingled somewhere between "building Concorde 2.0" and "offering incredibly fast trans-ocean travel." Many personal q

I agree that there would be something deeply funny about seeing Steve Ballmer being his glorious and insane self, to then revive a company with so much potential. It would be a fantastic and endearing final act for a truly larger-than-life

I encourage you to read the book 'First Rate Madness' to get an understanding of the link between crisis leaders and mental illness. Meyer appears to be a peacetime leader, not a crisis leader. Yahoo honestly needs a nutjob the li

Twitter is an interesting product. Many "users" of Twitter consume tweets second-hand via the news, rather than their website or app. Hope your JOURNAL.TXT serves you well. I actually have a private sub-reddit that I use for simil

If you're into node, you might want to check out json-server. A single json file with one sample entity is the basis of a full API. Check it out at https://github.com/typicode/json-server
