There is a really cool 360 video of this actually by Discovery VR. Just watched it a couple days ago in my headset and learned about synesthesia. Is this what you have maybe? Seems like a pretty cool super power! ;)

It's interesting how we're basically seeing networks reborn in a new way. It'll be especially funny if Apple, Google or some startup is able to bundle different streaming services together for a discounted rate and we're back at square one.
I did the same at UBC and nobody should go in expecting it will be valuable no matter what just by signing up (depends so much on what you end up doing and what you personally enjoy and are good at), but I think there is a lot of value in doing internships before graduating for the experience and knowledge of what is out there. Helps bring more relevance to school work and you get to test out what you may or may not like in a 3-4 month period before having to commit full time.
I met a really interesting Lyft driver who drives 2 hours to San Francisco every weekend to drive 3 days of 12 hour shifts and then returns to her hometown to be a stay-at-home mom for the rest of the week days. Her husband also drives for Lyft part time and according to her, together they're making $100k more per year than they used to be and for the first time not living paycheck to paycheck anymore. It's inspiring stuff, but at the same time you have to consider that these people get no benefits, even if they were to drive full time, and have to front the costs of insurance, gas, and hotels in San Francisco to do what they're doing (because Uber etc. don't have enough volume in their small town). Providing people the opportunity to change their own lives like this just by working hard on their own schedule is huge, but also sounds like an opportunity for another startup (freebie!) to figure out how you provide these people with all the same benefits that they still need and make that as easy and affordable as it was when a company was providing it.
Agreed, and it's shocking that this Washington Post article does not raise these points at all, or consult an "expert" that is not repeating the same PR rhetoric. For normal people to understand the issue and take a stance on it both sides should be illuminated. It could have been as simple as including Apple's or Google's original statements as to why they are taking this stance.
