With the internet in its full-fledged, now seems a good time to start an online video streaming business. When online videos will make up more than 80% of internet traffic by 2022, why would not anyone think of starting a video streaming service like Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, and Amazon Prime?Now, one can ask, if giants like Netflix, Hulu, etc. are already ruling the video streaming market, would it be practical to start your own video streaming business and expect a survival?Indeed, Yes!Considering the latest entry by Disney streaming service (which is yet to be released), it is impractical to think that you cannot claim your share of audience and revenue if these giants are already in the market. Like every other new entrant, if you have some interesting content to show, people will (...)

#bitcoin is not being used by big companies for the same reason why BitPay is popular.

The reason is quite simple: you cannot enter a legal agreement with Bitcoin. Bitcoin is above the #law. It exists in reality where things are not depending on the law. You can call that reality a code, IT or simply mathematics. No matter what you call it, it’s based on science and science obeys only it’s own rules. Limiting Bitcoin with law is as stupid as limiting gravity with the law. Yes you can punish people who use Bitcoin, but it will have no effect on Bitcoin itself. Likewise if you punish people who obey gravity it will not remove the gravity itself.Anyway, back to the our topic. Big companies are avoiding Bitcoin for a very simple reason: it’s not possible to enter a legal agreement with Bitcoin. Yes you can use it, but if you happen to fuck up, it cannot sue Bitcoin. You have to (...)

During summer break, I like to use #online classes to keep my programming skills up to par.I am a strong believer that if you don’t use your skills, you lose your skills.I am able to learn effectively in a classroom setting, and use online classes as a supplement. Many students, however, are unable to thrive in a typical brick and mortar classroom.Over winter break I redesigned a website for an online school, Greenways Academy. While working with their team I realized how beneficial online education is. There are many kids that would not get their high school diploma if there weren’t online alternatives.Kids that benefit from online education are not limited to students that are traveling the world, and competitive athletes. Many students with social anxieties and learning disabilities (...)

“You shall not pass,” says Blue Bot Man.I just came out with an animated cartoon for my Audio Issues followers.When I tried to boost the video, the Facebook robots said no because it violated their #advertising policies.Something about:“We don’t allow ads that use profanity, or refer to the viewer’s attributes (ex: race, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, name) or harass viewers.”Although I do curse a lot, I didn’t use any profanity in the video. I double checked to make sure but, alas, no. I wasn’t that fucking stupid it seems.Although I am a privileged white male, I don’t attack my readers by calling out their race, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, or name either. That’s just stupid business practice at best, racist at worst. I’d like to do neither of those things.So, it left me to conclude (...)
