> Think of it like a website that is specifically designed for a specific individual to take a specific action, which answers any questions or objections they may have.

OK that’s quite a philosophical description for a platform to conveniently share sales pitches.


My hope is that people will use Journey for:

* HVAC quotes

* Concierge shopping

* How-to guides

etc etc! Stories can be all sorts of things!


And wouldn’t that be actually a feature!



> ... , and though he steadfastly refused to believe that man had set foot on the moon, he adapted swiftly to the idea of satellites. The Lykovs had noticed them as early as the 1950s, when “the stars began to go quickly across the sky,” and Karp himself conceived a theory to explain this: “People have thought something up and are sending out fires that are very like stars.”


The best use case that I have found for an iPad for is that of a “personal computer,” that is, a computer that is entirely personal without any business.

Use the “Pro” laptop only for professional work and coding, and use the iPad only for anything else that falls into that “personal” categories of newsletters, mail, shopping, gaming, entertainment.

As a traveling remoter, that radical separation of two contexts has brought a great peace of mind.

You can surely sit back comfortably with your iPad for personal stuff, while work asks for you sitting seriously on a desk with your laptop: no blurry lines.

So in my opinion, that “curious” category that falls in-between “mobile” and “laptop” is nothing more than “personal computing” itself!

Isn’t it what that “revolution” has been all about, anyway?

Run speed test with ssh and pv:

  $ yes | pv | ssh your_server "cat > /dev/null"


You can also

  pv /dev/zero | ssh your_server "cat > /dev/null"
Both yours and this one check upload speed.

To check download speed:

  ssh your_server 'cat /dev/zero' | pv > /dev/null
or based on your suggestion:

  ssh your_server yes | pv > /dev/null
And if you don't have a server to login to, you can find a big file on the web and use that to check download speed:

  curl -s http://some-place.com/big-file | pv > /dev/null
Though curl also reports speed, so I guess you may as well just:

  curl http://some-place.com/big-file > /dev/null




Same here. At first it was the unique "angle" that draw me. Then progressively it became repetitive.
