Apple Stream
- vote Apple TV+ has the worst UX of any major streaming service I cannot for the life of me figure out how to navigate TV+. I don’t understand what “up next” is, how shows appear on there, I don’t get what “adding” a show does, and I can’t easily tell which shows and movies are part of my paid subscriptions and which ones require additional payment / subscriptio
- vote Maybe Netflix should white label their platform to other content companies? Their streaming tech is still top tier while others are trash (except Apple).
- vote FAANG is dead With the current market volatility it is clear that the new top tier of companies is ready to be named. Out with the 2010’s model of speculative growth stocks paying absurd compensation based off of improbable forecasts and passion project investors. I declare the new Tech Top Tier. It is based on

- link Why is Netflix averse to cross platform integration? Netflix stock dip stirred conversations in Blind. Made me think of another aspect: Netflix has started turning into cable of streaming services (being legacy). Pulling the whole ecosystem down. Every other streaming platform integrates & provides APIs for user recommendations. Netflix somehow think
- Music streaming service Ideas for a new music streaming service? Objective is to solve the pain points of the top music streaming providers like Spotify, Pandora, Apple, Amazon, Google while keeping the business model profitable.
- Shopify and Stripe guys congratulations Heard these two companies are the first ones to integrate with Apple Pay for receiving payments. That must be a good revenue stream. Hopefully apple gives control on issuance side as well in future. It’s good that apple is opening up its NFC access to third parties. #tech #stripe #shopify #apple
- Role of a subscriptions manager What is the role of a subscriptions manager in streaming company like Spotify or Apple Music?
- Netflix bleeds a whopping 430k subscribers in US & Canada, no sign of recovery Netflix lost 430,000 subscribers in the US and Canada in the second quarter and issued weaker than expected forecasts for later in the year, rekindling investor doubts over how the streaming group will fare after the economic reopening. The company predicted it would add 3.5m subscribers in the thi

- NFTs Can someone explain NFT value prop in simple terms? I’ve heard the argument that it helps artists. But why should the consumer care? I’d rather pay apple or google or Spotify $10/mo for unlimited music streaming than buying something from Kanye and individual artists.
- Stop the shaming BS I hate when people who work at FAANGs morally try to shame others when they are moving to another FAANG. One is not ethically better than the other. All are trying to make money and maximize market share. Facts: Facebook only cares about engagement. Apple uses slave labor. Amazon sells counterfe

- Apple Watch gps accuracy Saw a few reviews in which multiple watches were worn and data exported. The Garmin used looked accurate while the Apple Watch had the reviewer running on water in a stream next to the trail. Faulty device or is Apple just less accurate?
- Dolby Atmos on AirPlay Does Apple have any plans to add Dolby atmos support to AirPlay2? It’s shitty that the only option for Apple Music users to play Dolby atmos music is to buy an Apple TV 4K. Does Apple not have the ability to stream Dolby atmos audio over a wireless connection? Do they not plan to build standalone TV
- vote Adult entertainment streaming apps on iOS How much money is Apple losing per year by not allowing streaming apps for adult websites on the iOS app store? Also, why aren’t they allowing this kinda shit on the App Store? It’s not like these websites are not accessible from phones… #entertainment #media

- vote Would you leave Netflix Hollywood for Apple Culver City? Received Apple offer but don’t know which option is better… if answered YES, please provide the reason in the comments. The comp is similar so remove money/TC when answering. Netflix has higher pay, less stability in keeping your job, full remote work option, company is focused on content creation
- The party's over folks 20% unemployment as a result of this virus. This isn't going to end well. Those folks won't be shopping on Amazon for the latest Apple products they saw advertised online. They won't be taking a lot of Ubers to the AirBNB after booking a flight online. They are going to cut back on this streaming
- Why do you think Apple has a future? Declining iPhone sales, nothing new coming up to make people buy new iPhones. Functionality wise, several android phones already provide greater value for the price you pay, with lot more functionality at cheaper rates. For example, Samsung has great mobiles with better functionality than iPhone. Th

- Will Netflix compete with Pornhub? With all new competitors Apple, Amazon, Google, Disney etc, Netflix is easily in best position for provocative content. It has user base, distribution, billing in place. Specialized provocative content can be included in base offering or in add-on. Competition increasingly fierce with regular stream

- vote Who has a better chance of recovering: FB or Robinhood? 5 years from now who will be in a better spot and more stable: Facebook or Robinhood? For context: - Robinhood just took a huge blow to its brand and customer trust by limiting the purchase of certain securities. - Facebook is getting pummeled by Apple with security and anti tracking measures buil
- vote Unpopular opinion: Apple has beaten Google as the best company to work for as SWE Google has always been the darling of silicon valley for their TC, WLB, Perks, Prestige, Stock etc. before 2020, even though Facebook/Netflix can beat Google's TC, they couldn't beat their WLB, Perks. In my opinion, Apple has overcome Google to become the best company to work for as SWE. To note, t

- How do you run a company with sustainable growth? Looking at Netflix today it seems wild that the only thing that the market rewards is more profits and unlimited growth. To me it seems Netflix is basically reaching / reached the point of the streaming market cap. Unless they make drastically cheaper plans, they aren’t going to find more users. Als

- Is Python based Data engineering not good enough to crack top companies? Lately, I have been applying to Data engineering jobs in the market (esp. big tech and top payers) and been getting limited response.
