  • That the obvious part. At this point Netflix is looking at drastic transmission costs in the coming decade. Video is obviously taxing and require huge amounts of data but Atmos is no slouch either.The gamble, is in how customers receive the news and how it impacts playback.

    Audio sync issues, subtitle playback, artifacting on anything over 1080p will all cause customers dissatisfaction. Using a new way to save data is a great idea, almost literally a no brainer, but does a technical solution always work out of the gate?





  • In Tech, an IPO means the business is market ready to be sold off in pieces, ie stocks. The people who buy the product don’t care what it does, they use the product maker as a vehicle to more growth and profit. Typically that means the people who now own the business make poor choices about cost cutting, like off shoring support and removing unuseful documentation while removing people with critical tribal knowledge about processes. Each step the new owner takes will be to make the business more profitable, and in the world of business, the only thing they care about are the numbers and not the environment or people that created those numbers.


  • Korean food usually looks amazing and constantly smells delicious but eating it isn’t as satisfying. I’ve had the elote and potato corndogs. Potato was super awkward to eat since it’s the width of an upper arm but as short as a hand. Felt like I was trying to pelican a corn cob.

    Elote was tasty but just the batter. The dog itself was bland and the batter had pulled away from the dog and fried for too long to get that gold color. The inside was super heated hot dog water and salt.

    And the sticks they use are like closet rods. The result is a poorly built fantasy that looks good enough to buy and try but it’s not good enough to be a repeat customer.




  • This assumes people would only pick the fruit and wait until it’s ripe. NK has a terrible history with agriculture and neither waits for fallow fields to recover nor do they care about they long term health of the people.

    NK would strip all the ripe fruit for the military and leave the people to eat leaves and chew bark. The trees would wither and die from under nutrition and over pruning.
