Came across a passage in a Kindle book that I'm reading, which talks about "Herd mentality" in people and how to overcome it.
I found that 1325 people have highlighted the passage as a note in Kindle. I also added it to my highlights.
Sanju Samson said, “I reached out to Sachin Tendulkar when I wasn’t in the XI, he constantly guided me and helped me out. Even yesterday he called me and checked upon me, I’m really grateful for that”.
Ah, well, the thing is, when I said we should "circle back to this in the new year", you have to understand that I genuinely thought this day would never come. I thought holiday forever
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
Thank you Jeff, for solving the mystery of why people interested in making toys no longer visit my website.
It was a puzzle why, recently, traffic fell to zero - since my website had always been a helpful resource to answer questions about toy making.
The interested individuals would read a few Q and A's and often email me and I could work with them to make toys.
Now all that is gone. I didn't know where it went or why it disappeared.
It's because you scraped my website and used my work to build an AI based system that cuts me off.
Thanks!
People debating why Akash Ambani is using the iPhone Air instead of the Pro - I just want answers on why he is in a Dream11 jersey and not an Apollo Tyres jersey at the Women’s World Cup final. 🤷♂️
