But as a museum they're not concerned with merely presenting an aesthetic experience (that would be a gallery), but also with preserving and displaying an accurate slice of history. I tend to agree with you that there should be no problem with "fake" works of art being displayed in a museum, but it would be rather disconcerting to find out that 50% of any museum's exhibits were grossly historically inaccurate or misattributed.
Bail. Your heart has left, you still have a very long way to go and you won't make it. This is not failure, this is being a grown up. I'm sorry.
That entrance fee would have been lower if the museum hadn't paid as much for copies.

Among "needed innovations", the post lists: "A good method for telling users what’s important to read and what can wait for later."

To me, it's downright scary that someone would want Google telling them what is important in their own mailbox. Personal responsibility bad, Hand-holding good, apparently.
Unums are an odd duck, but the related posits from the same person make a lot of sense. They extend the range of floating point numbers by slowly tapering the relative accuracy the further you get away from 1. I find the paper[0] very readable, but if you just want some quick examples of the numbers, I wrote a blog post[1] some time ago which you may find helpful.

As long as google keeps the imap and pop3 gateways alive, we have a choice.

Use them, utilize other webmails, even run it localhost, like rainloop; desktop clients, like geary, evolution, claws, thunderbird; command line, like mutt.

Don't let the gmail interface drive the way you want to deal with email.
Although my view is irrelevant, I have never liked a single thing Nintendo has done, I hate all there games, Mario is terrible compared to sonic, all there consoles recently suffer from being underpowered and seem pointless to me. Why are people getting excited about things like Skyrim on the switch, a game that’s been out for a long time and already has been played by people that wanted it and when big triple A titles like Fifa come to the platform it’s horribly cut down. To me they are disappointing users, not surprising them.

However... I understand my opinion is different to that of others and I do find that this kinda single minded approach of the “secret creative process” seems to yelid great results. I think Apple often does something similar and it’s often why outsiders misunderstand them.

It’s a focusing principle, a frame, something that directs all that “creativity” and “innovation” through a lens that produces great results, I think otherwise everything is just to many ideas and too many thoughts.

I love this idea..

“The thinking that guides us is: what can we do to pleasantly surprise players? It’s not that we’re consciously trying to innovate; we’re trying to find ways to make people happy. The result is that we come up with things other people have not done.”
That's the joke. Glad you explained it.
OpenProject – Open source project management software
I second the first two comments (i.e. take some time off to think, and be sure to take into account that money is NOT as valuable as time). I founded a startup just before the dotcom crash, failed to find seed money during&after the crash, but kept at it because I felt obligated to produce a return on the FFF money I had already taken. The company pivoted twice, going from product to consulting (in a different area) and then back to product again. Now it's becoming somewhat successful, but it has taken over 15 years!! If I could go back in time I would have shut down the company in 2002 and spent the time after that building new things. I think it would have made me both happier and more wealthy.

Just as scary as having Google filter out mail that is totally not important, i.e. spam?

In Gmail you can (un)label email as being important, which will then train an algorithm just like a spam filter. Besides that, it will learn to recognise email you reply to often as being important.

I very much like this feature; I set up the Gmail app on iOS to only send me push notifications for important mail. For me that strikes a good balance between no distractions and not missing out on important email.
Those that don’t use inbox, why? I’m sure there are features of gmail that are missing from inbox but what are they? Why do Google keep these two “forks” of the same product?
Material Design is one of the worst things that ever happened to the design of websites, not only Google's but everyone's, since now so many are trying to copy it. I have no idea why anyone would want to see it anywhere.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-world_assumption
Back in the days (probably 2014), Gmail had a method to show Important emails which kinda worked. But I think my intention in this recommendation was about reducing the notifications people get for every email and helping you understand what urgent (since the AI reads your emails anyway). But I understand it could escalate wrongly very quickly
An important feature of Gmail from the get go was how well it separated Spam from relevant email. I don't think you'll find too many users who prefer to do that manually.

It's a matter of degree of course, but scary seems too strong a word.
Spam can be removed by objective filters, that simply classify the email against known patterns/rules. Who you are or what you like is irrelevant to them.

This is not that: it's you, giving a giant personal information sponge, a bigger tap.
Psychotherapy, notably with the CBT approach, can help you counter some of your habits that are unproductive, learn to deal with your emotions (which are often overly present when one has ADHD) and deconstruct some unhealthy beliefs resulting of the struggle to deal with the disorder daily.
see: https://showbox.onl/, https://vidmate.onl/ & https://mobdro.onl/
As I mentioned elsewhere: spam can be filtered objectively, but importance would have to be identified subjectively.
@google, check this: https://dribbble.com/shots/4020485-Inbox-Client/attachments/.... It's better than yours.

Never a fan of material design.. seriously, Google is NOT good at design. Period. I hoped, in this Gmail iteration, Google would finally take the plunge and kill the flat icons and minimalist design and once for all. It's quite the opposite unfortunately. It got flatter and uglier. All so plain and washed out, one doesn't know what he should look at first.
First of all, don't worry too much. It took me 10 years and 2 startup failures before building one that is now > 10M€ in revenue. So failing is part of the process.

Here is what I'd recommend:
1) take a week off and rest. The startup way of life is very demanding and being exhausted can impair your judgment to answer the very importance question that all founders face at some time: Should I quit? Or should I pivot? Or should I persevere.
2) evaluate what I believe is the most important startup metrics: market traction. After so much cash burned, you should have at least an idea if your solution is truly disruptive or if it is just 'nice to have'. If it is 'nice to have' I recommend you quit.
3) if you decide to quit or are not sure, return the money to the investors in order to preserve your credibility for any future venture project.

Remember that being an entrepreneur is not a one-shot journey. It's a way of life. With time and experience you will get better at it.
Spotify’s Dilemma
As part of the spec, a true posit implementation includes an exact accumulator unit. This has been described for decades, is pipelineable, and allows for, say 10e20+1-10e20 == 1. We've shown that this gives speedup and about 10^5 improvement in accuracy for linpack 1000.
When I used Gmail, I didn't use inbox because I sorted my email in folders, which were missing from inbox at the time.
But now I use Thunderbird to manage all my mail and I'm more than happy with it.
Looks like an Atlassian product :p
I dont need anything Inbox provides. I just want a list of all my emails, untouched.

Recognizing Cognitive Distortions: All-Or-Nothing Thinking
What new giant personal information are you giving, really? If you use Gmail, you already trust them with your emails and the interactions you have with these mails.

This features makes the experience better for users without having to give any additional information.
Couldn't agree with you more. We should have a drink :)
I think it's more about having guidelines for how things should behave and having a visual framework. It is true that many try to copy it and interpret it wrongly, which creates hideous sites. However, I think Google's purpose here was to create an extension of typography rules, grids and layouts rather than having everyone look the same. Some companies managed to use material design quite successfully and still reflect their brands (and not look 'the same').
The most logical is the ebook. You can post an ebook online at Kindle Amazon and have it up and selling in a matter of only a few hours. However, the pricing on ebooks is rather low. A better solution might be a multimedia product. It could contain video, audio, worksheets and other handouts. In this case, you will be able to charge a higher price because the item is of higher perceived value than the plain ebook. A multi-media course back can command $97 or more depending on the number of videos, handouts and so on.

How does this magical objective spam filter work?

How can that same technique not be used for marking important emails?
That doesn't have any more information. BRC has only agreed to disclose the pay for Jennifer Raiser because according to non-profit rules they had to disclose pay of at least one main person. She is treasurer making $111K. Not bad for a employee organizing once a year single week event, especially when the organizers asks everyone else to be volunteer. I've been part of several non-profits where treasurers were volunteers and got paid exactly $0 for year around activities.

Despite of constant asks over the years, BRC has not agreed to breakdown their "payroll" category of expenses which is left to imagination for what goes to temporary staff vs BRC people. These secrets I would least expect from great non-profits let alone from Burning Man founders.
I think we are the same ;) and I would apply that to any other service that has a feed (Insta, Facebook etc). But for the people who have a red dot with the number 999999 on their iPhone, there must be something Google should do.
Because Inbox doesn't allow you to separate reminders from your email, which means I have to scroll two pages to see a single email, and then carefully hunt for it among 50 reminders.
Maybe I misread the article, but it felt for me that it was more arguing against benefits for the big boxes than it was trying to argue for special treatment or just money for the downtown merchants. Is that still protectionism?
I find the lack of visual density and regularity in Inbox very annoying. Gmail (compact) fits 3/4x times more emails on the same screen, with a single text line of identical size for each. It's very quick and easy to scan through.

Inbox looks like a jumbled mess to me, with randomly sized images and pre-rendered images, and it makes me scroll a lot more.

Annoyingly, the new UI is slightly less dense than before, but it's still much better than Inbox.
There's nothing stopping you from running that and connecting it to Gmail via IMAP. Go ahead, make it a service, let people have a choice.
No, it's legalized bribing but that does not change what it causes. People are angry that the system is abused, and want a simple solution because we as tech workers understand that all the "issues" around taxes could simplified, but won't because of greed.
I think the direction is good, the conclusion not so much. Nobody has the use or space for a couple hundred timber houses per person on the planet to cope with the current emissions.

But if executed correctly (Drones sowing and harvesting millions of tons of fast-growing wood / switchgrass per year) and then correcty getting rid of it so it can't decompose (i.e. probably drying and/or sterilizing it), it might solve carbon capture.

That being said, it all involves lots of space, mineral fertilizer and moving parts — on top it might be disastrous to any animal ecosystem trying to get hold in those woods. I'm not sure we wouldn't be better off with stationary carbon capture stations eventually.
I hated that it seemed to move my emails. I just want to see them come and then I sort them how I want.
Yes, up to the point of marking legitimate e-mail from personal domains as spam, even though such domains were set up correctly, including stuff like DKIM or SPF.

Also, the wording was "... and what can wait for later", which doesn't sound like spam was meant - I don't think people keep their spam messages and read through them later, e.g. over the weekend. :)
Article is a little bit biased as a one who worked on messaging apps claiming that messaging (eg Slack) solve communication is just wrong.

Can it really though? If my ISP, who I've exchanged emails with before or sends me my bills starts to send me promotional material about some TV bundle, is that spam?

Conversely, if someone I've never exchanged emails with before, but who got my details through a third party wants to discuss a business opportunity, is that spam?

If you define spam narrowly as "unsolicited", then sure, it's somewhat objective (although even then, you have to work what was solicited in ways other than an initial email). But there's quite a bit of subjectivity involved in the more useful and generally accepted definition.
> Spam can be removed by objective filters,

Those "objective filters" prevent me from sending email from home (I have to relay through a non-residential IP).

I receive about a dozen spam email per day (with occasional surges and lapses). My server accepts everything, and a simple local filter from my mail user agent (Evolution or Thunderbird, mainly) let few through, and false positives are very rare.

I'm not sure why the giant providers need to work any differently.
Looks like I’d have to do a ton of scrolling to see the amount of info that the old gmail shows me. Everything is too spaced out for me ;(
Well Barcelona has been developing under the Cerdà plan since mid 1850. That's I think the issue: won't the average American clamor against "cUmmUnism" one minute after he's told his grotesquely styled McMansion is not allowed?
Barely mentioned in the article: Alfie Evans had an incurable neurodegenerative condition that had already destroyed approximately 75% of his grey matter. He was, in clinical terms, brain dead, with no prospect of recovery.
Yay for data input assumptions.

Then there are also other systems where entering certain characters can simply cause them to be stripped from the stored data.

Or names with apostrophes being cut off or completely breaking the system.

Sometimes basic things like umlauts are even rendered unprintable.
Yes, if you're using Gmail, you've already lost, but this IMHO inappropriately affects your workflow by steering your attention to, or away from, certain e-mails. To me, it's potentially no different from what Facebook was caught doing, and in fact, if done carefully, it is an authoritarian's wet dream.

Yes, you can (supposedly) train the "importance" filter, but how many people will do that?
Email was meant to be kept simple, and Google is making this exponentially hard with every single "design" iteration.
Get off Gmail - it'll break your email.

The article has very good points, especially when it touches the issue of "hidden" mail, like the promotions tab: there are labels and tabs. There should be only one system, and no, don't hide things from the user at this level. When there's 17k mails in promotions, eating up 6GB alert them, let them know.
(This ties back to how WordPress keeps hiding anything technical from users, which is also bad[^1])

Filtering on Gmail is outrageous, especially when you compare it to Sieve. No option to match on custom header, seriously?

Things like unprintable email is a bad joke. Unprintable? What if I connect to Gmail with mutt? It gives the sense of a false security.

I'm aware of all the arguments against email, but so far nobody could come up with a robust, reliable (see SMTP retries), async, world wide, federated solution, that even touches the level of email.

Here's a revolutionary idea: instead of trying to come up with a new email, stop breaking the current one, and keep using it.

Maybe I'm an exception, but I do scan through my spam from time to time :) Partly to see if I've missed something, but also because it can be amusing.

I agree that spam detection is not an exact science, and that it is in fact quite subjective. It's also quite valuable!

Google is providing three new layouts to choose from, including a default view that highlights attachments like documents and photos, a comfortable view that doesn’t highlight attachments, and a compact view that increases the amount of messages you can see on a single page. The compact view is the most similar to the existing Gmail design, allowing existing users to keep a similar layout.

A simple thing to make evil maids job harder is to just apply plenty of instant glue. This way it takes much more effort to open the laptop or switch components. Also fill in ports you don’t need.

For practical security it is also important to have some physical things on the laptop body that allow you to identify your hardware. Otherwise somebody will just replace it with their own hardware to collect your password. Obviously pretty much anything can be replicated, but absolute security is anyways impossible to achieve so you can only try to make things harder for them.
Because of the word "objective". Different things are important for different people.
Right, because hiding without letting people know they have something is spam is good. /s.

It's not. This is how and why people keep missing actually important email, because friend X changed their email address for reasons, but they are not in the contact list, so it must be spam/phishing.
Google admited several times that they haven't done a clean room reverse engineering and their emails prove they were consciously trying to work around Java licensing issues.

If Google cared so much, they could have bought Sun, but they were expecting it would just crash and burn, while the company would get away with it.

Sadly for them Sun actually got a buyer.
> An efficient way to categorize, filter and search content.

No, no one likes to categorize emails, this is work for someone else or for power users that's not a case for GMail.

> A tool to help users fix mistakes they’ve made, such as sending someone the wrong email, or spelling something incorrectly.

For a long time Telegram didn't want to introduce this feature since if you sent something this should be in other's inbox. If someone can modify your inbox than you won't be able to trust that some random email won't disappear.

> Allowing users to handle their business better through Gmail (e.g. sign documents, approve things, review things).

Uh, guy just want to put everything to GMail while claiming that this is not an "innovation".

> Allowing users to design their emails in a better way.

Do you want to receive emails from your lawyer in comic sans? There is a reason why FB, Slack, Telegram, etc don't allow you to style your text easily.

> Letting users know if someone read their presentation and what parts interested them (DocSend).

Breaking fundamental flow of an email. No one will see if you read and no one will be upset. There are a reason why slack dosen't have read status.

GMail probably have a lot of problems now, but (sorry) this all just unprofessional judgment.
If you read the whole wiki, it’s pretty clear that the use of chess engines was not prohibited, and a team of engine users was suggesting moves. The World team also tried unsuccessfully to simplify to a position where tablebases could point out perfect play. It should be pretty clear that the analysis offered by the World team leaned heavily on external help, in this case engines and tablebases.

With all due respect to Barcot, Felecan, Krush, and Paehtz, it would’ve been highly unlikely that without the aid of engines, they would’ve had a close game against Kasparov. Barcot is easily the most accomplished out of these players, and by 2001 (the earliest available data) he was still “only” a 2600 player. In 1999, Kasparov was still a 2800 player at the peak of his powers. None of those 4 players would’ve stood a chance against Deep Junior, an engine used by both sides.

Had Kasparov gone out and purchased the best computer hardware at the time, and had it run analysis 24/7, would that have been cheating?

The article alludes to the fact that in 1996 Karpov crushed another World Team. I would argue that the development of competent chess engines during the period between the two matches is a key reason why the World team fared much better the second time.

Chess is a game of perfect information. Here, what Garry did can be best characterized as a “shortcut”. If he had run an engine 24/7, it would’ve produced moves better than what the World team played.
True, I’m up to 20k in my gmail red dot. It’s a big reason I’m desensitized to it now, and I currently have lots of red bubbles on my home screen that I’m too lazy to deal with (and usually social apps that I would t otherwise consider deleting). Considering how many apps abuse the red dot though, I consider being desensitized a plus. It also drives anyone who looks at my phone crazy.
You forgot to capitalise the a in "are". And "olympics" should be "Olympics", because it's a proper noun.
In a perfect world we would be seeing all those nice improvements Google has brought to Java after rescuing Sun assets.
