We're in an RV, so the dish wouldn't be a huge burden. Wouldn't want to do that at a hotel, but I also assume wifi is easier to manage at hotels or airbnbs.

I was just looking at them this morning. I'd love to hear of anyone that has actual experience with them. With skyroam, it seemed like many of the reviews and blog posts I came across were paid reviews.

I really hope so. I'm actually eligible for the beta where I live, but like you said, the plan doesn't travel. fingers crossed

I've considered this, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. The Skyroam is on T-Mobile I think, but like I said - so far that device hasn't impressed me. I think the LTE iPad that another commenter suggested is the best option

I think we're doing the American redneck version lol - driving a motorhome to warmer weather. Eventually I'd love to do the international version though, and take advantage of exchange rates and all that. Seems amazing.

We're RVing it. Took the house with us, so we're able to socially distance -almost- as well as if we were at home. Still getting amazon deliveries, plus blue apron for meals. It's a bit more exposure, but it's manageable

Truth. I thought I'd be able to cut out more than I've been able to - we downloaded movies before leaving, I have over-the-air TV, etc. But, it turns out my habits rely on a lot of data - streaming spotify, streaming security came

Oops! You're correct. 600k is ridiculous. Honestly, If they just had a steady 5-10mbs -actually- unlimited option, I'd prefer that. Or, if they dropped it down to 2-4mbps instead, that'd be workable I think.

I have actually been doing this when I need to. It works well, except those rare occasions where I need to screen share. And even then it's usually easy enough to have someone else share for me. The iPad LTE is a great idea.

Awesome, that's great to hear. I'm going to chat with our research team about the product, I'm not sure if it's a big enough pain point at the moment for us to pull the trigger, but I certainly see the value.

Interesting tool, I'm intrigued. We recently started using Dovetail as our research repository. It allows us to collect interview recordings, tag transcripts, surface insights and share findings within the company. It's been a goo

Apple even tried a social network of sorts with Ping in iTunes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes_Ping

They tried, but it's just not their DNA. Apple isn't a B2B enterprise company, they're a B2C consumer company that, as a side effect of their consumer success, ended up with a decent number of devices in enterprises. But they

Also, wooden tires wouldn't have much traction. Most (all?) vehicles at this time were not in any way self-propelled. They were pulled or pushed along by an horse, human or other power source. Anyone that's ridden a big wheel can

I've never thought about it this way. Being very much not a chemist or biologist, are there any decent sources for reactivity of... commonly ingested things? Or any articles with more on this?

Humor on the internet has a weird way of spreading and just destroying any conversation. So often I go to the comments on reddit hoping for further insight or a different point of view, only to find the top three threads are memes and puns.

I've always wondered this too. Can you do a legitimate six figure transaction in actual cash? I'd be uncomfortable carrying around enough cash for a new car, let alone a house.

Mostly because they're all desperately trying to figure out how to stay in business. The local paper I used to work for in the '06ish era had a pretty large presence downtown in their own dedicated building that had been around si

Technology Connections is the bomb. I think I've watched all of his videos at this point, highly recommend his channel.

Another option is pre-recording your presentations. Shoot for a 15 minute presentation, followed by questions and conversation. Think a dev recording their screen, showing the work and talking over what they're doing, mixed with a few

In my personal opinion, Flash was ruined by Adobe when they tried to 'fix' it (improve it?) with ActionScript 3, which followed the ECMA script standard. AS3 changed everything about how flash worked, and if you weren't a sof

Depends how much CC costs in Venezuela - SaaS makes it a lot easier to have big geographic pricing differences.

Bingo. This is why we went with a stepped process. Did you log in with Google, Twitter, Enterprise SSO, or Email? Do you even have an account, maybe you need to create one? It frustrated everyone. Since we've implemented the stepped pr
