Live events are still not good online. But the most glaring omission for me: the news. A serious online nightly news show would be good.

@_pius Yes. I used to do that a lot in the UK. Makes sense. Last Oscars I ended up going to a party at a movie theater a friend runs.

@_pius That makes sense: TV is still better at live events. But presumably that will go away as it stops being the primary platform?

This says a lot about me, but my question about cord-cutting is: what happens to C-SPAN? It provides an important service. Does it go away?

Cable TV might still be worth it to you if you really, really, really like sport. But it's only a matter of time before that's online too.

I haven't had cable TV since I moved to the US, and I've never missed it. Only annoyance is Apple TV channels that require you to have one.

@sarahdessen Absolutely terrifying. I'm so, so glad she's okay. And well done.

@unreasonable Highly depends on situation. Often you will have support from legacy investors - and early investments are often in team.

@rchrd_h Seems legit. The AP will join you in a moment.

@econproph I agree. So here's the big thing that I think needs to happen: professors _must_ be empowered to buy their own tools.

@econproph Always going to be true - so the key is to make openness a side effect, and concentrate on building an awesome experience.
