My parents bought a LG TV recently. The UI is just horrific. Which PM thought the real time cursor was a good idea? As much as you can, get an AppleTV and leave it on.

As a founder of a seed stage company, this is a completely reasonable request for someone who's late into the hiring process. I might screen share instead of hand it over to you out of sensitivity to investors. Also, what percentage of

Got to meet Channing and Courtland at a meetup in SF years ago. Two awesome, humble dudes. Congrats on the acquisition and being free again. If you're reading this, I'm curious what your plans are to monetize. What companies are y

OP has a somewhat complicated setup. Here's an easier one that I use: * Pay $15/month for a VPS (whatbox in my case). * whatbox has a notion of first class apps, including Plex. Click a button in their GUI to install it. * drag an

Not OP but the treadmill that is tutoring, after school activities, honors societies, academic decathlons, standardized tests, recommendation letters, internships, jobs, and promotions.

CarPlay is a borderline need-to-have for me if I were to buy a car. Hope Google's version is just as good...
