HBOMax needs to upgrade their CDN

We're an hour into #WW84 and we've buffered three times, all three times the picture has degraded from 4k to SD.

We have a gigabit connection from Xfinity, and have never once buffered during playback from Netflix

This is on a Vizio TV with a hardwired network connection to the router.

1/ While I'm under no illusions that Trump's transition to Joe Biden will be graceful, I'm inspired by each of the prior transitions that preceded 45's hand-off to 46.

@jomalleydillon

Take a step back for a moment and admire the precision, the discipline, the confidence of the Biden team.

Not over till the votes are counted of course. But @jomalleydillon and her operation sure seem like a well-run ship right now, and that's giving me hope.

Lots to admire:

- Biden's crisp, calm, brief speech last night
- no leaks from 'campaign officials' to on-air pundits throughout the evening
- forceful briefing this morning declaring what will happen over next 72 hours
- unequivocal rejection of Trump's lies

Overall message couldn't be clearer or more consistent:

1) count every vote (including those who didn't vote for us, it's OK)
2) let the process work
3) we've got this

In other words. Trust. Trust the system, trust the voters, trust us.

🙏

There it is. The President has just recklessly claimed a victory that he has absolutely not won.

Credit to MSNBC (anyone else?) for stepping in and calling him on the lie. But it's still an appalling new low for our country.

These ballots reflect votes ALREADY CAST. Votes cast by American citizens. On time.

And I know his team knows this. And the press knows this. It's nothing more than a cynical attempt at whipping up partisan rage to try and cloud the issue.

Which, to be clear, is: ALL VOTES CAST BY TODAY MUST BE COUNTED. Period. Full stop.

@MaryMcDonnell10

I worked at a restaurant in Northern Virginia summer of '95, the manager was @MaryMcDonnell10's brother. She came to the restaurant one night... And I was so star-struck I didn't even get to tell her how much I adored Sneakers.

Correction: '94, not '95. Anyway, great lesson that I have never forgotten:

Mary's brother had me working as host. The restaurant was brand new, a family style Italian restaurant called That's Amore. In a strip mall, northern Virginia.

A couple had a reservation, showed up on time, and their table wasn't ready.

Ten, twenty, thirty minutes... None of the two-tops would pay their bill and free up a table.

They were not thrilled.

@expensify

Wow. Just received an extraordinary email from @expensify CEO @dbarrett. I can't remember ever seeing anything even remotely close to it.

@dbarrett

I admire @dbarrett's courage to state unequivocally what he believes in, even in spite of the inevitably polarizing effect such an email is likely to have.

And yes, I happen to agree with him. But if I was doing business with someone who felt this strongly in the favor of a candidate / position in opposition to me, I'd actually really like to know that too.
