Welp, I specifically bought a Roku device a few months ago just to use YouTube.
I ran into major issues using Fire TV's YouTube app. The app would fail to get past the initial loading screen and hang forever. It would typically require 2-3 device restarts to work again, and even then it would only work temporarily. I tried completely resetting my Fire TV, relogging in, etc but never managed to get it to work properly). YouTube is the only app I've had issues with on Fire TV.
Google also discontinued YouTube's great web browser experience, which was almost identical to the app, that you could load in Fire TV's web browser.
I tried to sign up for Coinbase back in July and kept running into problems during the id verification step (at some point, they thought I was under 18). I tried to work through their customer support, but only received automated messages.
I love Takeout. Given how much of our lives is invested into digital platform, I wish every Internet company had something similar to Takeout for user data.
Apple also started paying quarterly dividends in 2012[1]. Whereas, Google does not pay out dividends[2]. Apple's annualized dividend yield is 2.2% (for comparison, Microsoft's is 2.6%[3]).
About 1/2 of the flights I've taken in the past 5 years have been on United or Continental. 11 flights on United and 4 flights on Continental[1] (I keep track of my airline travel in a spreadsheet). 2 of my United flights were international. My most recent United flights was in late 2014.
I can only speak for myself, but I've never had a bad experience with United or Continental. A few small delays here or there. One 3 hour delay caused by really bad weather, but no cancellation: I still made it to my destination before 1am.
For context, I've always flown economy, by myself or in a small group, and usually departing from Austin or Houston.
The last time I checked in on Sails.js about 9 months ago, Mike McNeil, Cody Stoltman, and Scott Gress had just gotten back from YC for Treeline (http://treeline.io).[1]
If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for the "coverage"?
Did it offer any kind of discount for minor or major dental work (e.g., cavity removal, wisdom tooth removal)? Or was this covered by your health insurance?
Call it a best practice for inexperienced artists and writers. If I, for instance, were to take up painting as a hobby, I would try to find some artistic formula or method to follow before branching out into a more unique style.
I would consider this more important for writing than art, since reading novels involves much more of a time commitment from your audiences to appreciate, whereas art gives more flexibility in deciding how long your audience wants to spend with it.
However, there's a difference between bad art and writing and bad programming. Bad art and writing lacks appreciation. Bad programming is full of errors, hard to maintain, and runs slow, giving an overall poor user experience.
