It's reasonable to suspect that the party in charge of handling the audio wouldn't have considered that latency to the end user between the two streams would make their release not synchronous.

They may even have thought that a few seconds could still be called synchronous, unaware of the advantage this presented in this particular case.

Can't imagine trying to pump my data into someone elses pipeline and crossing my fingers for results!

Your website looks awesome, I really like the clean design.

Have you considered a trial extending to their first outage notification, rather than 14 days?

I would imagine if they don't see an outage in 14 days they're not seeing the value.

However if their trial expired following their first 'site is down' reminder - that's where your value comes in.

Just my $2c

conditional probability is just like, what proportion does A represent given B has already happened.

A might be small in the ven diagram box, but take up a larger area when constrained to only the part that B is in

and what if the 50k figure never changes?

50k will conveniently be worth less over a few decades - the slippery slope is a built-in feature unless actively changed

pretty snarky to suggest facebook is the only way developing countries would utilise the internet. access to knowledge to better their lives, even turn them into astronomers perhaps
