I’m sincerely confused by this article. The author makes a sweeping statement about how Hulu is the best of the offerings and then proceeds to highlight all of the UX problems and higher cost features.

Also, just to clarify, I am an attorney, but my main focus is on international space and telecom law—and I don’t currently practice. I’m not an aviation, civil litigation, or contracts attorney.

United’s CEO made a statement that “We take full responsibility.” This likely puts and end to it because this is a party admission that will be admissible.

Generally, I agree that the terms of the contract of carriage only allow for a customer to be denied boarding for overbooking, not removal. Overbooking does not fall into any of the categories specified in Rule 21. Furthermore, Rule 5 makes explicit reference to Rule 25, which specifies payments for those denied…

PlayStation Vue’s UI is the best I’ve used and my non-techie wife loves it because it’s very intuitive.

I’m confused, there are only 5 Star Wars movies: Rogue One, A New Hope, Empire Striked Back, Return of the Jedi, The Force Awakens.

Of course, you also have to account for living in 1/6 gravity and the long-term effects this would have on bone density and our bodies. Even if we set up a base, it will be more challenging than working on Earth or in zero gravity.

Independence Day is a nearly perfect movie that balances action, comedy, humanity, and classic one-liners. The only weakness is the tunnel scene where the dog survives and the fire doesn’t scorch the room. Gems like “welcome to Earth,” “I ain’t heard no fat lady,” “you are never gonna fly the space shuttle if you…

The biggest problem with selling higher and higher speeds is two-fold. First, no one informs the average consumer that it is unnecessary. The vast majority of consumers (including cord cutters) only need 25-50Mbps download (unless streaming multiple TVs simultaneously) and minimal upload. Parity between upload and…

Augmented reality has much more appeal for this type of application. Rather than having to render the entire environment, you can just render the changes to the environment. Microsoft and Magic Leap are a step in the right direction; although, I hear Microsoft’s headset still has inadequate field of vision—despite its…

An he’ll be known as Lt. Barklay.

But I doubt that they did the full diligence over the weekend. There were 4 months between when the deal was announced and closed. They likely reviewed major liabilities, which would be disclosed. Then they would do a complete review prior to closing and the deal papers would stipulate terms for indemnification and…

There is no such thing as “business days.” It’s not uncommon for lawyers working on a deal to work 7 days a week and bill hundreds of hours a month. Several of my friends who work on deals like this will work 40 hours over a weekend if they need to expedite the deal. Associates at a law firm can review thousands of…

There are a couple of secrets to know about cord cutting:

I don’t think the author actually looked up ear candles. It’s actually basic and effective science (but with a likelihood of doing more harm to your ear than good). An ear candle is a conical or tube shaped “candle” (really wax covered paper) that you light on fire. As part of its fuel, the burning tube burns off some…

Incorporating a tablet is a must for Michelin Star restaurants. This is from Arzak in San Sebastián, Spain, last January.

We know from the original that it can’t be the same Nova. The spaceship in the original reports on the amount of time that elapses.

Whether something is a country or not is ultimately a matter of (disputed) customary international law. There are two schools of thought: (1) you can be a sovereign nation and exercise all the powers of a country and, thus, be a country (see, e.g., Kosovo, Palestine) or (2) you have to be recognized by the…

I agree. This doesn’t make sense. On satellite dishes targeting geostationary objects, you do still have telemetry and tracking equipment to make sure they’re properly aligned; however, this does not impact the dish’s ability to transmit. It was clearly a contrived issue in order to create an opportunity for the…

Just got out of the theater. The only conversation between women that is not explicitly about a man is Jyn and her mother at the beginning when she asks if she knows what to do. Not very substantive.
