futuretext··on Building a push notification system for scale with Go (Tales of Timehop)
Have you tried 3rd party push companies like Urban Airship or Parse? Looking at those two options Vs. building it ourselves... Any advice would be welcomed (expecting about 5-10k pushes/day).
futuretext··on Elon Musk’s Space Dream Almost Killed Tesla
Neil DeGrasse Tyson was just talking about how the first trillionaire will come from astroid mining: http://www.salon.com/2015/05/04/neil_degrasse_tyson_the_firs...

Super fascinating read. It's also great because it will create a commercially viable reason for companies to want to explore space, which will make it cheaper for everyone else.

futuretext··on The Untold Story of Silk Road, Part 2: The Fall
This would make an amazing movie.
futuretext··on The Future of Design in Technology
I love how Minority Report has the monopoly on futuristic design. Kind of wish this showed more UI/UX for things like VR and 3/4D printing.
futuretext··on AI Is Getting Good Enough to Delegate the Work It Can’t Do
Really interesting article. HBR is awesome. You should checkout Ray Kurzweil & Michio Kaku if you want to really dive deep into AI and the eventual robot revolution that will take over all mundane jobs (and eventually complex jobs). Kind of makes you wonder what the human experience will be like if no one will need to work for a living
futuretext··on With Tesla Entering Market, Hopes for Home Batteries Grow
Elon is amazing human being. Solar City, Tesla, SpaceX and now the home energy market. It's trendy (and expensive), but at the end of the day I think it can help to draw more attention to the space and environmental consciousness. Hopefully it's not just a fad...
futuretext··on Facebook Instant Articles: A Slippery Slope
Doesn't this sound like they're attempting to take traffic (and revenue) away from other publishers? If you can read the articles on Facebook, why would you want to go to a different website to read the same thing (obviously loyal users won't leave)... Just seems like Facebook is trying to become a news organization vs a social network.
futuretext··on Daredevil’s Powers Are More Realistic Than You Think
It's awesome that Netflix finally released this in braille (it took some fan outrage). Seems sadly ironic they didn't do it when they first released the series...
futuretext··on Three Moments with WeChat
Really interesting article. I used WeChat when I was in China. Super fun and definitely has a lot more you can do (like pay your rent). I'm curious to see if it will ever become big outside of China. Thoughts?
futuretext··on Apple’s App Analytics Beta Opens to All Developers
So glad this finally happened. It sucks that you only get the data from users that opt in and it has a 24 hour delay...
futuretext··on Memes are a myth
Haha this is awesome
