If I go to a site called IsTLSFastYet.com, I expect a huge bit of text that says "yes" or "no". Otherwise why use that format?

I'm sure it helps to write the OS.

I don't think this was the initial memo to call attention to the issue, but the final "I am putting my objections in writing" memo after he realized it wasn't getting fixed.

Here's an example from Argentina in 2007: http://blogs.technet.com/b/dst2007/archive/2007/12/29/argent... Less than a week's notice of the change, and it was between Christmas and New

One thing they do now is put the drive-in order-taker off-site at a call center. I guess not so recent, considering this article is from 2006: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/11/technology/11fast.html?pag.

Most rail lines in the US are used for freight. Is electric a good option in that case?

Also, the number of developers required to rewrite everything in Swift on a short timeframe is likely more than Apple has.

Is it really mature enough that they shouldn't be making breaking changes?

The flower business does seem ripe for disruption. Looking at a traditional flower business website, it definitely feel like, "these designs are not to my taste". I'm just not sure how many people want gift flowers but have

So just rewrite the app?

As of Dec 2015, and the app beta started in Sep 2014.

Yeah, fonts are expensive, and I wouldn't go near a free font I found on the web unless it was hosted by someone like Google. So if you don't like any of Google's free font options, you gotta pay. Also, there is no cost for a

It's already started happening. Netflix has been at the film festivals buying up movies, especially documentaries.

It looks like House of Cards and Orange is the New Black were both licensed out to other networks in countries that didn't have Netflix at the time. For instance, Showcase in Australia had both of them, and probably has the rights to

Around $18 per month, at current exchange rates.

Essentially NetFlix is paying their producer partners for worldwide rights, while conventional US networks only pay for US rights, and the producers sell the other country rights separately. But I'm not sure any of the partners in the

Well, they've certainly pivoted their focus from movies to TV shows. But most of their "good" movies were part of the Starz license, and that expired years ago now.

I'm surprised someone considers Crimea a country. I thought it was part of Ukraine, and now is part of Russia. Or if you dispute that, it is still a part of Ukraine.

Isn't that what HBO GO is aiming for? They have a large selection of good movies.

They only call out four exclusions, China, Crimea, North Korea, and Syria. So it's probably not really 190, it's (# of countries in the world) - 4.

60 old countries, 130 new countries, total 190 countries. The footer says 70M subscribers across 190 countries, and was probably updated today. In their last press release in November, that line said "Netflix is the world’s leading In

Yeah, it's not like they hide it on the sales page, which says: AT&T Next℠ 18 $0 down with 24 monthly installments. Trade in at 18 months.

Yeah, my brother and sister-in-law are saving up for a new house. When their phones reached the end of their Next plan after two years, it was effortless to just keep using them at a now reduced cost, instead of shelling out $30/month

The biggest difference is that it makes sub-$450 phones much more of an option. When every phone contract included a $450 subsidy, it didn't make any sense to get a cheaper phone. You don't get cheaper than free. Now you can bu
