That's so awesome, I remember seeing a special on the Discovery Channel years ago (10+) on how they laid cable for the phone lines I would love to see how it's done now and how it's connected to backbones etc..

Interesting, so then the few people who still use match.com (after you filter out scams and such) don't even have to pay for it because they can contact the other person though Facebook once they match the photos.

Exactly! Less "expensive" in what way? sure the purchase price might be lower but what about the "pain in the butt" price? If you have to load a baby into the car drive 5mi (gas) get the thing you need and drive back 5mi (gas) and the whole

When I read "$10 million" I was surprised a VC would invest such a large amount in something as risky as a new game studio with no shipped titles. Then I saw the demo and I realized why, the game looks amazing and has a lot of good buzz goi

True, and they fail to realize that this rarely happens most don't have Facebook/Google type growth and need to generate enough revenue to at least finance operations before they get to the end of the runway.

Exactly, This reminds me of the whole Tesla battery bricking saga. The News outlets love nothing more than to find some technology company that is doing something "wrong" (even if they are not) and hang them out to dry without doing ANY f

Free Fall? I have not seen any numbers to support that statement, they may not be growing as quickly which is understandable as they get closer to the cap of total internet users however their numbers are not negative (yet).

I understand why people form attachments to a specific language and I can't deny that I have my own preferences. However when you stick to just one or two languages you're really limiting yourself and your projects, I see the tendency to tr
