> They were talking about results - so I'd argue UX/UI was an irrelevant issue.

What I said was an alternate front-end to a service can be behind in any way, and even (as a side note) ahead in UX/UI (its less likely to be ahead in other ways, unless a service has useful features in its back end that aren't accessible through the primary front-end.)

San Francisco; Full Time; Onsite

I'm the cofounder of Figma, a stealth startup in San Francisco building a browser-based collaborative design tool to improve the way designers and engineers work together. We're a small team of 12, and we're looking for talented designers and engineers (front end, backend, full stack, lead devops, lead quality, mobile, and data science) who are interested in tackling challenges in the creative tools space.

Example challenges: annotation system on top of documents for feedback, 2D boolean operations on paths, speed up zooming in the app using a tile quadtree, UI testing framework that simulates user actions, real-time events and data pushing across the site, zero-downtime deployments, search API for filtering user files.

Our tech stack: C++, Emscripten, Node, CoffeeScript, JavaScript, WebGL, Ruby, Sinatra

If you're interested in learning more about what we're working on or want to meet up to talk about any of my other projects (http://madebyevan.com/), you can email me at wallace@figma.com.
A million times yes. This is a common mistake of managers/older people assuming younger/inexperienced folks are dumb from their mistakes and lack of experience. The latter need patience and some guidance for the former to grow their "common sense" to become more capable/productive/successful.

The other antipattern is spoiling kids and helicopter parenting, which leads to sheltered/learned-helplessness kids. Letting kids struggle more to learn for themselves and earn things is important because the role of the parent to prepare people to become independent, survive and thrive. Also, expecting them to do more with much less improves their ingenuity out of necessity. People/startups that are broke can often attain what others cannot because they are able to make something awesome out of what other people call "junk" and waste less money.
That transition was a real mess. We had some games in the T-Mobile Sidekick store and getting paid the royalties by Microsoft was way more difficult than it should have been after the transition. It took months to get added as a vendor and I had to even send them a "final invoice" using the numbers that they had provided. The next collection step was going to be at least small claims court. The Danger team did built a great system for its time and by the time Microsoft took over, it went downhill fast. And then Microsoft's Kin flopped too.

+1

What I'd really like to see is a strong focus on making the the default experience decent so many people can avoid needing to tinker but having some obvious directions to look in when you realize that you've outgrown the defaults.

A small example I'd use is the way the Python infrastructure around the package installer (pip) has improved over the last couple of years. Experienced developers used to have a ~/.pip.conf to set defaults like caching, timeouts, failover, etc. but it was a perennial hassle for newcomers. Since then, a lot of time has gone into removing the needs for that config (e.g. adding a CDN, making caching better and enabling it by default, etc.) which saves time for newcomers and means that experienced developers can stop maintaining another dotfile.

Except that statement wasn't about Dyson:

> It’s important to have heroes. For me, Frank Whittle is just that. He was an intuitive engineer who amazingly got things right the first time, and had extraordinary foresight.

In fact, Dyson even emphasizes embracing failure rather than "getting it right the first time."

> For an engineer, that means sketching, prototyping, and testing. It’s not a linear process, but a cycle of failure which means that problems are solved properly (even if it takes longer).

DRM has to be kinda an integral part of the Codec in order for it to work efficiently especially with streaming any other type of DRM will not be really viable since it will either require you to get the entire file or to chop the video into smaller blocks.

DRM for the most part is encryption and if you want to have it with all the vector voodoo of video compression it has to be built in.

That said today there is no way in hell to make a codec without DRM and expect it to have wide support, lack of DRM is actually killing more projects (like various open source streamers) than outrage of the free software community will ever be able too.

An open codec is only viable if it's worth to be picked by the big players and those are the big media and content providers who won't pick up a penny if it didn't had DRM support...

There is a concern. The articles about Ranbaxy are the most interesting. I learned that the FDA has their own badged and armed law enforcement officers.

My impression of Indian corruption vs American/Western corruption (never worked or lived in India, and I'm not saying corruption is universal in either case) is:

Indian: take this bribe so that we can manufacture potentially unsafe things, in potentially unsafe working conditions. Consistent safety and quality is too expensive.

American/Western: take this bribe/campaign contribution so that we can extend our patent protection or protectionism, while making this likely safe product that wouldn't be profitable (enough) if everyone could make it.

signup flows to see which one onboards users better.

The trick is: there is no global "better" — only 'better', given a specific group of users.

Which users though? Running a million 40 year olds from Iowa through your website flow will generate a widely different result from running a million 13 year olds in Atlanta through the same process.

Google is still stuck in the "one design for everybody in the world" mindset, so they have to be appealing to everybody, which naturally makes them bland.

Success metrics! The paradox of these hyper-optimization methods is they largely apply in hyper-trivial situations. Once you are big enough, you just tell people how things will be. They don't get to have a say anymore.
