@sosonosonosono Top 5 best money I've ever spent

story behind "why netflix built https://t.co/YDCurkt2BM" is brilliant.

so, netflix had a massive fight with ISPs around 2014-2016. ISPs were slowing down netflix on purpose. they wanted more money from netflix

customers got bad streaming. but ISPs just blamed netflix.

netflix had to pay comcast, verizon, at&t and time warner for direct connections to their networks.

but in 2016, they launched fast dot com, clever part - It's not testing your general internet speed. It's testing your speed to netflix's servers specifically. so when someone complained about buffering, netflix could say "run fast dot com." If it's slow, the ISP is the bottleneck.

suddenly millions of people had a tool to prove their ISP was the problem
ISPs couldn't hide anymore.

netflix positioned themselves as the transparent good guys fighting for customers while ISPs looked like greedy monopolies

they solved a pr problem and a customer service problem with one simple website

I guess, that's how you win a corporate war

At my first internship we had to build a Windows Server app that would allow a user to drag and drop bunch of spreadsheets into a network folder and generate a summary report. This was previously a task that required ~900 man hrs that would get reduced to ~10 seconds

New VP Residence for Shettima vs The U.S. VP Residence: How Tinubu’s Govt is Wasteful and W!cked!

Here are the facts…

The latest worm to creep out of the “can of worms” in Tinubu’s govt is the newly-commissioned Vice President house, built for Shettima.

The date was June 7th. Tinubu, flanked by his enablers - Godswill Akpabio, Wike, and others - “proudly” commissioned the N21 billion Vice President’s Residence. The house bow becomes the official residence of the Vice Presidents of Nigeria. Shettima is yet to move in.

Some details about the new residence…

Reminder that Lagos built the 70 million gallon / 265,000 m3 daily Adiyan waterworks, but refused to build a pipeline network.

Instead they're waiting on a PPP partner to build the water distribution network.
