Cubbers slides are prettier. However i'm able to grasp content better from Meekers slides.

I guess the people (Meeker, NSA) who make these presentations just want to get the message across and care little about pretty slides.


It's interesting how superficial some of the presentation designers can get. You don't need beauty to present data clearly and make it actionable.

I'd be interested in seeing some cost/benefit analysis on spending money on improving these kinds of presentation. Do you actually get a return from beautification projects like this.

Of course, there is a difference between bad presentation and competent. But I don't think Meeker's presentation is bad. Businessweek is just trying to attract controversy by throwing out "a crime against good design."

I work in a scientific field and we frequently get pitches by design firms trying to win work by spending money rebuilding paper presentations, etc. I think there is room to fix broken presentations. But there is diminishing returns from trying to improve a perfectly competent presentation.


India too has plans to launch its own alternative to Visa and Mastercard. http://www.npci.org.in/RuPayBackground.aspx



For my app i use other databases (MySQL) along with Firebase. Does firebase hosting allow me to host MySQL or connect to a MySQL instance on another hosting provider like AWS?


Stepping out of your hometown to do a one day workshop is going global ... yay.
