Great post, and funny writing. Do read. Systems programming IS crucial. One wonders if we do end up going to an apocalypse scenario, we would realize it's importance.

Yeah the author suggests as such..."it turns out, though, that Netflix gets and keeps customers with new shows that people talk about, while most of its old content is ignored", again lies the difficulty in churning out new hits w

In regards to content scaling, that seems right on the face of it. But, Netflix had been pushing the idea of "Amortization of Content" in that content once created has an extremely long lifecycle, and essentially a long tail. As p

Even if Netflix is profitable, and makes money on streaming. Considering it's market cap of $160B with today's rise of ~6% and compared to others like Disney at $192B, and AT&T at $140B, and Viacom at $14B. It seems Netflix is

I use YouTube for technical videos, and to gain other knowledge. And find the best signal to noise there than anywhere else on the internet. Occasionally, I give in to watch sports clips, movie trailers etc which is a decent short distracti

maybe I don't miss it that much haha, but it was cool to visualize in 3D, as this post shows.

Matlab was honestly my foray into more advanced programming, coming into it with engineering. It was refreshing and so cool to see my programs visually. I do miss it.

2 months ago, no one in their right mind would buy Twitter at a $44B price. No management would sign off on it. But then it was 20 million out of a 36B fund. Do the math, if it was important in their books. Likely, was just randomly purchas

A grand value slashed of $10 million of a fund in November that had assets of $36 Billion.

First of all, the amount in question is 20 million dollars down to 10 million? That is really insignificant, and this feels meaningless in the context of discussing Twitter's performance. It's not a large sum to write down. They a

I don't get how it is significant. Almost all tech stocks are down by roughly that much ~50%. Silly.

More specifically by playing God in my comment meant the future may involve messing with our biology-biochemistry and things how they were intended to be by nature, and by doing so, we may be causing our own doom. Like for example, the &#x2

By indoctrination I mean, need to be wary of a future where people don't question what or why they need vaccines from governments/corporations pushing for it, and vaccines or regularly taken medicine is a culturally accepted pract

The Pros/Cons of Vaccines is a topic ripe for discussion as the debate in the past year and a half showed. Between walking the ever-lasting fine line between eradicating diseases like Malaria, and not indoctrinating humans, messing our

I would just add one thing here, aside from echoing the comments on the great writing. Everyone needs to focus on saving when they have a job for uncertain times. I've found it incredibly helpful in the last year with some savings in t

I think the balance of engineering to the point of not over-engineering, and making simple yet efficient programs/code is an art that gets better with practice and experience. Trying to improve your skills do so will of course give you
