I can't get into my Facebook account right now because it's prompting me with a request to provide government-issued ID (eg, drivers license, passport) to verify me. Suffice it to say, I am no longer on Facebook.

I'd have to say mission incomplete. Part of the whole 'Kill Hollywood' meme was that a ground-breaking startup would appear with a business model to succeed the current production and distribution systems. Anyone nailing th

I actually find the opposite here. For me, television follows more of a formulaic narrative arc than a traditional feature film. Television is mostly a writer's medium, and generally has a story-telling model where it is about disper

I think Slack feels good if you're the one managing the team. But if you're the one actually slogging away at building the thing, it's incredibly frustrating and makes it impossible to get into flow.

Nobody lost their land to a bloodthirsty colonialist. These indigenous families opted to sell their land and were compensated at some point. So please elaborate on what you mean by Zuckerberg's boundless "greed"? Were I ind

Appreciate the calm and measured response. Well, given that this is becoming a pretty common cultural practice for study and programming flow, you may wish to chose a slightly less clumsy analogy than your laser pointer example. In fact, t

Could you please elaborate on this? I recently had dinner with a friend in intelligence, who was trying to convince me that Snowden was in bed with Russia from the get-go, and that the 90% of the leak had nothing to do with privacy concern

To add to your points, Uber is currently operating at a loss (1) due having so much runway. Once they've smited your local cab company, do you really think they're going to maintain bargain fares? (1) http://www.busine

While I agree with a lot of what you've said, I think you missed much of the point of the article. It was written by a comedian, and therefore I read it as meaning to be provocative and not to be taken entirely at face-value (eg, the t

Thanks for this summation of small town living. I find it pretty inspiring actually. One question, do you honestly ever feel like you're "missing out" or feel a sense of isolation by being so far away from a denser place? W

Your friend is right in that sound designers aren't always striving for kitchen-sink realism. Tentpole film sound design is often subjective and hyper-real, only because it's both meant to denote how something actually sounds, as

Everyone in the industry tends to use Sunseeker, which is an AR sun mapping app that's been going strong since 2009. It's great you've made this, but I'm just not sure why I would use this over Sunseeker or Dark Sky.

Camera bodies come and go fairly quickly, which is why I tend to invest more in glass. If you start paying over say $1000 per lens, they generally retain their value. What's more, a quality lens on a mediocre chip is going to look muc

I, probably like a lot of others, took this post as a tongue-in-cheek joke. I think we're all mature enough to handle it, as the humour comes from how offensive the joke is and not from some universal truth behind the statement. If it
