I think sometimes parents my age (late 20s early 30s) try to force their kids to engage in a lot of activities the kids aren't ready for and aren't interested in because they want to show everyone how much better their kid is from everyone else's. Helicopter parents are one extreme. Kids should have some room to breath, explore, and play. You shouldn't force them into something they're not ready for and of course every kid is going to develop differently. There's a good middle ground, I'm sure. Just my 2 cents anyway.
It baffles me why this got downvoted.

I would love a follow up from the author on whether or not it made any actual difference. My bet is that it probably didn't, but I can't think that the article wouldn't be biased since he obviously thinks that his son is gifted.
No it's more like providing very cheap transit fares, or free maid service. It's a useful transient service to most people who's value doesn't show a specific investment benefit like free daycare would. Digging ditches and filling them again provides no economic side value.
Those are weasel words ("some people say").

They've spent a lot of effort on improving playback and media discovery, and on the contrary, I've heard a lot of positives.

If there's some specific or large deviation from their mission that you perceive from their re-design, I'd like to hear it. I have a great interest in internet preservation, and even though I'm not associated with IA, I would hope to learn more about how people are using the collected work of organizations of the IA and how to better serve those people.
How to Built in Place Picker in Android
I might have been too negative, but only by a hair. FDM printers do have their uses, but it's a very niche technology that is difficult and time-consuming to learn. Lots of really cheap and easy fabrication methods are almost totally ignored by the maker community, while 3D printing is put forward as the glimmering future of manufacturing.

Your story is very positive, but it falls a long way short of justifying the purchase of an expensive machine and the investment of many days of effort in learning how to use it. How many people have a burning need to produce hundreds of dollars worth of spare parts for toys?

>the materials science is an obstacle made of tissue paper- as in, we're already blowing through it handily. I don't know what you're printing with

I've seen test results from the absolute best case scenario - professionally designed parts printed on a $200k Stratasys machine using ULTEM 1010. The material properties just about match injection molded ABS. Parts made on consumer machines using ABS or PLA filament are generally an order of magnitude worse.
Sorry, I didn't explain that right. We drove from San Francisco to San Diego, with several stops on the way. We were tourists in San Diego for a couple of days. Our hotel was walking distance from nearly everywhere we wanted go, so we figured to not pay for a car for those extra couple of days. We checked into the hotel, moved our bags into the room, dropped off the car at the San Diego airport, the returned to the hotel for the rest of our visit.

So the walk was from the rental car return to the hotel, not the rental car return to the terminal.
Take reddit and remove all the karma whoring, and you have the Usenet. I think reddit is essentially Usenet 2.0 for all intents and purposes. You get all of the good and bad associated with Usenet, but in a much more easily accessible format.
Yup, saw the same thing happening at an infosec company in Toronto. Office at University & Adelaide, bought by BigCo AV Vendor, moving out to 404 & Steeles: 20% of workforce quits in the year between the announcement and the actual move (at least I remember it being the move, less so the new owners).
This is a thoughtful redesign. Although the organization of the redesigned form is stronger in some aspects and weaker in others (stronger in terms of how much sense it makes and the behavior flow, weaker in its visual organization), it's still a great improvement.

The key issue is that it seems busy. I think the form could sacrifice the increased font size (and generally standardize the font size and the font styles) and instead add more lines and shading that would help separate the different parts of the form. I think using lines, like the original document, is a stronger and clearer organizing tactic than font size. For example, more obvious headers (all caps? white on black background?) would help people break down the steps of what needs to be done.

But yeah, this is definitely an improvement, particularly on the UX side. Nice breakdown.
I think you mean Hawthorne effect?
Don't forget how 64K and 256K DRAM prices fell about ten-fold in a year. I wonder if Apple ever considered stacked 64K DRAMs like the ones used in the PC-AT.
The near gridlock on SOMA streets every rush hour isn't because of a compression wave - there are simply too many people trying to drive out of the city at once. Even if magical cars could erase congestion on freeways, there's still the problem of not enough parking for everyone that would have to drive without public transit.

And don't say "But self driving cars will fix everything! They don't even need to park, they can drop you off at work and drive away". If the cars aren't parked, they are contributing to congestion. And since commutes aren't generally balanced, it's not like the self-driving car will leave Walnut Creek at 8am, drop you off in SF at 9am and then pick up a new passenger to head back to the East Bay - that car is going to be loitering around SF somewhere, waiting to take someone back home to the East Bay.

SF Muni carries 600,000 passengers/day. BART carries 400K (though not all to SF). Caltrain contributes another 50K. How could you possible accomodate all of these people without transit?

Like I said, building effective transit in existing cities is very expensive -- the BART system cost around $1.5B when it was built (around $20B today), but few would argue that SF would be better off without it.

Your statements about UPS and Netflix are absolutely true, and if you're Netflix or Amazon, that's a great comfort. It's less of a comfort to non-gorillas. Yes, Amazon has to be reliable or Netflix will find someone else, but being reliable and accountable to Netflix doesn't 100% translate to being 100% reliable and accountable to my puny business. We'll reap a lot of benefits, as it translates to a great extent, but not as completely as you seem to be implying.

This sort of comment is exactly why I rag on 3D printing. A 3D printer isn't a magical tchotchke machine, it's a shop tool. You need knowledge and skill to design a part and successfully print it.

You can learn an awful lot of practical making skills in the time it takes to get to the 3D printing equivalent of "hello world".

When I go to archive.org, I care about one thing: Pasting a URL to a now-broken site into their search bar.

I don't know how other people use it. But for me, that's their central function. And their redesigns have sometimes made that more difficult.

The current version is okay. One of their previous versions hid the search bar somewhere else, and that was very annoying.

As for the rest of the site, I've never used it.

I applaud the effort, but there are a few points about usability that you may have overlooked.

1. Entry spaces are now much smaller and requires smaller writing, particularly for names and addresses. I actually doubt that many addresses will fit.

2. By putting the checkboxes closer together, it makes it harder to tell them apart. The delivery person now has to be more precise when making marks, leading to reduced efficiency.

3. One of the biggest points is that everything the delivery person fills out should be on the same side, so they don't have to flip the sheet over, especially when they may be carrying a package in one arm.

Agreed. The original slips are very confusing. Not because they're actually confusing, but because visually the firm is very busy and has all these sub points and bullets. It more so flusters the mind.

The redesign is much cleaner and easier to look at. Therefore being easier to process. This is something that is much less intimidating to look at and I would have no problem filling out while the original is daunting and seems like more of a chore, if not torture.

Traffic is bad in general. The average SFite gets around on train, bike, walking and uber. To drive your own car is pretty hellish. If you try to drive a car over the bay bridge whenever there is traffic, it can take an hour. When there is no traffic, it takes 8 minutes. With the BART, if there is 'traffic', then your standing for 8 minutes in a somewhat cramped car as you go through the transbay tube. If there is no 'traffic', then your sitting for 8 minutes instead. Traffic is not an issue with a subway.

I hate suburbia. It's isolating and bland. It's always a 10 minute car production to go fetch something quick from a 7-11 or equivalent. It encourages obesity and a lack of walking because you always have to get in a car. It encourages long commutes and rush hour hell on the highway. With a long train commute, I can read a book or do something productive with my time.

If I want to play my music loudly at 11pm, then I will get a unit that was constructed with soundproofing. If a city is hampered by inept NIMBYs that prevent new construction with soundproofing being made, then that has nothing to do with urban vs suburban.

I think you haven't experienced a proper metro system by saying public transit is a bus. Go to new york, and see how there is no 'traffic' delays in taking the subway. Where everything is avialable 24/7 and the city is alive.

A 3D printer is the ultimate expression of a Lego set these days.

That's a good analogy, but I believe it's why 3D printing won't be mainstream. The explosion in the popularity of Lego models recently is in the brilliant professional designs with commercial licensing that Lego come up with. Designing and making your own Lego models is popular among kids as it always has been, but adults don't do it. For an adult a Lego set is a 3D jigsaw puzzle. There's zero interest in making your own ideas.
According to the article:

This is a significant improvement though the form itself is still incredibly busy. I would much rather have something more tailored to my delivery than this generic thing that requires effort from everyone involved. This is a good solution for 2007 but 2015? This needs more automation.

For instance USPS should know what type of delivery it is, customer name, sender, addresses and whether it's a final notice or not. Why can't the postman / postwoman press a button in their car that prints a sticker with everything already filled in (without labels even; just a custom made sticker without all of this busy text).

Press button, slap the print out to the mailbox / house and you're done. Let the user call a number, text or go to a web site to setup the redelivery stuff.
IMO the best practical compromise is:

1. Edit it with an IDE that supports soft-tabs.

2. Save the actual text-file with spaces, for explicit positioning and uniform appearance.
Kik invests in its platform, buy fashion startup behind its Kik chatbot
This reply makes me think of Craigslist and how it was really meant to be a community based platform for people to do or sell whatever they wanted. Add that they have/had a pretty active forum which was also a quasi-democracy in which the community decided what was good or bad.

I think this is what was intended for Product Hunt, but somewhere along the line something happened and this became a bit skewed.

I've never met Ryan, but I know many that have. It sounds like this was not a product meant to build on the "boys club" but to let people know about cool shit people were building. Eventually it became THE place to find new products and services to a point where, if you were launching a product, posting and having it upvoted on Product Hunt was/is a must.

From my perspective, that's not being a horrible person. That's creating something that people trust. Sounds like innovation to me.
All you have to do is look at Ryan Hoover's "recommended" comments on his own post to get a sense of his position on things. This is a weak attempt at damage control that shows absolutely no desire on his part to address the central issue with Product Hunt: those people (in particular, those who aren't PH employees) who can arbitrarily post startups to the front page with no differentiation from those who made it there via popularity.

Of course they won't change it. The whole "game" is to provide a system that on the surface looks meritocratic, but actually isn't, in order to give visitors the impression that the arbitrarily posted products / sites are popular (because they must be to have made it to the front page), and thus drive traffic to them. It's dodgy.

Rust does work with LLVM releases. In the past it didn't because of various bugs in LLVM, but all blocking bug fixes landed, where "blocking" is defined as those preventing compiler bootstrap. Currently, Rust CI checks for every commit that it bootstraps with LLVM 3.7 branch.

Rust maintains the fork because in the foreseeable future, there will be non-blocking bug fixes and Rust will not follow LLVM trunk to get them.

I am re posting this because when I had made this post the first time there were a few problem with the site that I had to fix and had not anticipated. I got some nice feedback though, so I thought I'd just make one more post because most of the problems have been fixed.

HN Live is an alternative interface to Hacker News which provides all of the data on Hacker News in real time. This allows for the real time viewing of what goes into and leaves the trending page as well as the `newest` section.

It is just a personal project, and I would like some feedback if you have any.
