Is this correct? Or is there more to it than that?
It otherwise plays exactly like an HTPC. Everything I threw at it played fine.
The only downside is that it does not support HD audio passthrough.
Wall Street finally caught on that it is a social network in a league of their own and a company that makes solid decisions, but it took a long time and Marc could have easily sold along the way.
Andreessen stuck through all of that to make it to $100+. It seems like he felt like it was time to cash in. Rightfully so. FB will be just fine moving forward.
Is this the wrong way of thinking? I am the only employee. I'm supposed to do what I'm good at, and that's coding... not talking.
Eventually, if my product is good enough, someone has to notice. Right...?
I found the answer from their blog:
"Part of the service CloudFlare provides is being on top of the latest advances in Internet and web technologies. We've stayed on top of SPDY and will continue to roll out updates as the protocol evolves (and we'll support HTTP/2 just as soon as it is practical)."
They are faster than ever, and have a bigger range than ever before. I suggest skipping the Eero and opting for something like this: http://www.cnet.com/products/asus-ac2400-rt-ac87u-dual-band-...
If they include local channels I would seriously consider giving this a try. I also hope it comes to Fire TV.
The other questions would be what about when you miss a show? Could you watch old episodes from the current season for free?
UPDATE: Looks like a DVR like functionality is not available yet and you can only watch from one device at a time. http://techcrunch.com/2015/01/05/sling-tv/
Nice job with the redesigned version, but in all seriousness... I wonder what took so long? Every few months a company should take a spin as a new user and find ways to refine the new-user process.
Use this as a reminder to take another look at your registration sign-up process in 2015.
- We have a history of losses and we expect our revenue growth rate to decline. As our costs increase, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve and sustain profitability.
- These investments may not result in increased revenue or growth of our business. We also expect that our revenue growth rate will decline over time. Accordingly, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to offset our expected cost increases and to achieve and sustain profitability. If we fail to achieve and sustain profitability, our operating results and business would be harmed.
Though my biggest question is how similar this thing is to another one called Textra. Can you talk a little bit about what's going on with both of these apps and why they look identical? Plus Textra already has 1-5 million installs.

1. I agree with what minimaxir said. It seems like friends of friends of friends control the entire place. HN seems less "controlled" than PH. Even Ryan himself went above and beyond to make sure that Alexis' friends were able to comment right off the bat. (https://twitter.com/rrhoover/status/489931085048860672) In hindsight, this paid off since he got funding and I don't blame him. But to the average user who has been waiting to comment - it's incredibly frustrating.
And why the heck is commenting disabled by default anyway? Why does it sound like a good idea to only allow friends of friends a voice to comment? Provide some type of "participant threshold", and then allow everyone to comment and block those who abuse it.
2. They got 6.1M in funding. I am not from the startup "funding" ilk, but that sounds like a ridiculously high number to me. What could they possibly be building that requires that much capital? The site and premise of it now is fairly simple to implement and code. Perhaps they have grand plans that are way above my head?
I'm not implying of anything shady. I'm just saying that kinda stuff is really annoying for the average joe.
I asked him a few questions like where he lived, his name, if he has brothers or sisters, if he wears glasses, etc. Eventually he started asking me questions like what I did for a living and where I lived. He also managed to form questions based on my answers.
It almost felt like a conversation. I can honestly say, I've never thought that before while talking to an AI. So far I am pretty impressed.
A simple guide can be found here: https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/. Although I suspect it needs to be updated since its from 2012.
If you create an application, make sure it alters the URL when applicable. For simple apps, the following repos will be useful:
The old way, that still works: https://github.com/asual/jquery-address
The better way, preferred: https://github.com/browserstate/history.js or https://github.com/defunkt/jquery-pjax.... not sure which is better to be honest. Feel free to chime in.
Well done.
The answer could be simple. As far as I know, RetailMeNot was one of the original coupon aggregators. (The domain was created in 2006.) It also seems to concentrate on natural SEO and does not seem to be cheating. Combine that with good quality content and you have solid SERPs.
There will never be an all encompassing search engine to rival Google. I would argue, one could not even rival Bing.
The future of search, as with most internet companies moving forward, is all about mastering a niche. You may not be able to beat Google as an overall search engine, but if you dedicate your time and money towards one specific niche, say sports, then you have a fighting chance to beat them at that.
Believe what you want, but there is a reason companies pay big money for super low latency.
