Netflix AB testing - I think it is great to see that the architecture behind being able to conduct AB testing in a robust manner requires more than just an analytics machine. Rather it's an entire platform that is leveraged by the rest of the company via an API frontdoor

Watching the presdiential debate in VR:
Yet even being so so laser-focused on the five candidates (and the bald head of the guy in front of the camera in the back), I feel like I missed a lot. I missed Donald Trump live-tweeting the debate, and Mike Huckabee saying insane things. I missed the conversation on Facebook, and all the funny things my friends were saying. I missed the real-time fact-checking some publications do. A debate is about so much more than the show; it’s about how we all experience it and interact with it, together.
