I’m still surprised that this type of findings hasn’t had more of an impact on commercial design. It is not uncommon to find Fortune 500 sites with load times over 20 seconds. I ge…

I think your point deserves more emphasis. IF in fact 5MM inhabitants of Wuhan fled the city before the lockdown, we can be pretty sure that this was caused, at least in part, by a…

Pagespeed (and my favorite: Gtmetrix), are very revealing. You would be surprised how many big, tech-savvy companies have abysmally performing websites. It is also interesting to s…

Let’s see what they actually end up paying.

Location: Norwalk, CT (New York City commute) Remote: Maybe, but prefer direct interaction Willing to relocate: Yes (Esp. Scottsdale, AZ or Bentonville, AR) Skills: relations manag…

There are actually several outfits explicitly dedicated to trading equities (and even mortgages) on blockchain. One of the most advanced is Polymath.io. The implementation is true …

Has anyone recently and earnestly looked into degradable plastic bags? I’m really surprised that an acceptable substitute has not been adopted. It seems like the utility of plastic…
