Is there a bat trapped in your apartment that only John Malkovich knows how to handle, but you’re too busy dealing with loose bats to find the relevant Ask Me Anything thread archived on Reddit? Do you want to know what Bill Murray thinks about peanut butter and pickle sandwiches, but you don’t want to dig through a million posts asking him about movies and comedy? Your suffering is over: Interviewly is now here to help. (Also to the bat guy: Maybe re-evaluate your life decisions?). The new website, which it’s hard to believe no one thought of before, pulls all of the interview wheat from the Reddit AMA chaff and posts it in a tidy standard Q&A format. As you might imagine, the “interviews” appear with a slight delay, as Interviewly can’t keep up with every AMA posted to Reddit. Still, there’s a large back catalog to explore, and new AMAs are interview-ified every day. Check it...

We’ve long believed that the Internet’s next chapter will be built on gigabit speeds, so it’s fantastic to see this momentum.

I usually don’t post articles about current affairs. However, a recent series of events has inspired me to write about this. Towards the end of January, the president of our company – iScan Online, Inc., was complaining that our service was experiencing major slowdowns. I investigated the issue, but I couldn’t find anything wrong with our production environment. We were stumped. One evening I also noticed a slowdown while using our service from my house. I realized that the one thing in common between me and our president was that we both had FiOS internet service from Verizon… In case you missed it : Internet Service Providers are limiting access/speed to targeted services. Conspiracy theorists say they’re targeted based on competition (Verizon offers cable in certain parts of the country). Also could be because streaming/downloading heavy stuff places heavy lag and they’re trying to discourage the heavy users…putting caps on your bandwidth. Generally your home internet will be faster during the day because most people are at work and not bogging things down. At night when everyone gets home though, it is usually slower. The Net Neutrality thing that passed a while back means that ISP’s can legally limit speeds for whatever reason…opening the door for misuse of that power. Read...
