Yes. More or less I agree with what you have said. The main point is that the complaint against the TV show is ridiculous as the show is created for the purpose of entertainment, not veracity. It's interesting that some people think of

SPA is a show that I had a lot of influence over. My editing work on the first show was mentioned in a New York Times. Sarah was very protective of her family's image as it was airing close to the time when one of her daughter's w

Between pitches, production takes long breaks where Mark Cuban and the other talent have nothing to do, but sit and wait. TV production is not very exciting. Post-production even less so. A lot of sitting and waiting. A lot of looking throu

I can imagine that only Mark Cuban has access to that information as they are private companies. Mark definitely seems to have the entrepreneurs interests more in mind, but they are all "sharks." Do you trust a "shark" w

The pitches can be shot between 15-60 minutes each. These are ballpark figures, keep in mind, and I am sure that some pitches have taken longer. The point is, there's not enough time to make an informed decision. Production wants to sh

I worked on Shark Tank. It is a lie (but not unlike almost every other TV show) with just enough truth to keep "suspension of disbelief" aloft. It was designed that way from the beginning. Almost all TV shows are designed this way

TV is a lie? Is that really news?

This is the assumption I am operating on, so this is a great link. They all seem kind of mechanical, which is what I am using for some of the humor in the book. So, it was fun to watch these robots in action after having imagined what it wo

The purpose is comedy, haha, but the need I have is to realistically estimate when companion robots (clean) will become conversational. Some of the robots in the book are more mechanical-looking. Some more "human-like," meaning: d

I am using SendGrid on one project. Another surprising thing is that nobody from SendGrid is responding to this thread to explain and rectify as I have seen other companies do.

This practice happens all the time with books that are successful. Other books leech on to the traffic by using the same keywords, but what you'll notice is that the quality of the books is very poor because the author's heart and

Thanks for the information...I would think Google would make sure they don't use their name by taking them to court as it affects their brand.

This is not a programming issue, it is a health issue. I understand the challenges in the way the policies are set up, but again, this is a health issue that needs to be addressed one way or another.

We all get a bad feeling in our gut when we know something is not right. Posing as a non profit with the "Internet" brand is not right. To your point, if they were just upfront about what they're doing, it wouldn't be an

TV producers attempt to instill fear in order to hook viewers into watching it. So they are using a TV show to make money to try to climb the ladder to the 1% if they aren't already there themselves. <frauds>

Good question. In my view, thinking fast has to do with how well you can process emotion. Do you get stuck in the headlights or do you dive out of the way of the truck coming at you? That is not a question of preparedness mentally. It is a

I enjoyed reading your encouraging words. I know it's not encouraged to post 1 up comments, so I have more to add, but before I do, I wanted to pass along that it's nice to hear how supportive you are with regard to your parents a

Perhaps this is the function of conflict (ideally nonviolent and hopefully led by smart people), to speed up the process of change by injecting humanity's shared model(s) with new ideas. When older models become problematic, people hav

There's more to this than meets the eye. It depends on how you perceive writing. For example, "Old Man and the Sea" might be the greatest essay about criticism ever written, despite the fact that it's not an essay. You h
