I can't believe we're still having this debate, how many years has it been?

You can't simply take a closed-office environment and just knock the walls down, pass out headphones and cram everyone in one room.

You need to change the work culture so that open offices work. You have to adapt things like pair programming and remove things like phones and email. Put everyone on a certain project at the same table. Switch partners out.

You can't have people who sit by themselves, don't communicate and don't work together in an open office environment. You're nuts if you think that's going to work.
Is there any threads for people located in Europe only, Switzerland more precisely?

I wasn't talking about the grandparent comment, I was defending the submitter!

The GP's two word comment, while correct, is too reddit for my taste (nothing against reddit - both sites have their place).
Interesting article. My favorite sentence is this though, "Open offices may seem better suited to younger workers, many of whom have been multitasking for the majority of their short careers."

Despite what I want to believe and what I have been told (all companies only want to hire multitaskers!), multitasking is neither productive nor really possible. You can really only do one project at a time.

It really seems a large reach to assume, and accuse, the airline of racism towards Indians. There is little to no direct evidence other than the author's assumptions about the motivations of BA employees.

There is no doubt that, assuming the details of this story are true, BA employees acted poorly. This is not surprising. Flying is terrible and the businesses that work in the field are terrible. BA should make good, but let's keep the accusations of racism to places where there is actual racism and not just extremely poor service.

Every airline has stories like this. It is not limited to a particular nationality, creed, class or location. It doesn't matter if it is an expensive ticket or a 30 minute connector flight. Airline employees are a grab bag. Some are good and some aren't. Airline passengers are the same. I've seen many a passenger act inhumanely to some poor attendant just trying to rebook them and I've seen attendants treat passengers like cattle.
Two things. 1) Change password screens want you to enter the new password twice so that a typo doesn't end up in your password and prevent your own access in the future. If you copy/paste you will be copying any typo and circumventing this mild protection. 2) The whole time I kept thinking this forces people to type their password which makes it an easy target for key loggers - which are AFAICT designed to snif user credentials.
I think this has the potential to be the next big thing. Not necessarily this particular device, but the idea itself.

There are lots of applications for these types of devices.
- News reporting
- Surveillance and recon
- Security (couple it with a wireless charger)
- Entertainment

All of these can be broken down even further into different industries etc.

The post you had here before you edited was completely nonsensical.

A UX post, on how a site should prevent users from cancelling to benefit the website, at the expense of the user.

That is the opposite of a good UX.

Here is some 'User pseudo-psychology' for you... Having your blog titles take up more than half the vertical space of my browser (when it is full screen) stops me reading your writing.
Flight delayed (due to airline error), misses connecting flight, airline personnel indifferent, issued a new ticket. Same old, same old.

In the first half of the post, there is absolutely no (objective) reason given that would point at racism. I didn't bother reading the second half.

Well, the Dropbox idea is quite cool actually, it has a lot of "sexy" in it. We can do a lot with it, and that's what's making it dificult to choose.
We have decided to drop the analytics idea and focus on the Dropbox one. Hope this was the right decision.
I had kind of the opposite experience; interviewed one or more times with a bunch of the "Who's hiring" companies and only one had the decency to send an email with an update; the others went into radio silence.
Some might think this a glib response, but I've come to the conclusion that there is no way to use Facebook and keep perfect privacy. You have to allow other's to interact with you, and their privacy settings combine with yours for your mutual information. There's no way to keep 100% control of everything that concerns you.

If you want 100% control, Facebook is not for you.

Can't agree more, but it could be a cultural thing too - see all the discussion around Western vs East Asian web/UI design, for example. So your psychology might actually be the norm for an Asian user, if by "most users" you mean the West.

We have already met with the one guy who's responsible for most of Dropbox's API and developer relationship. He guaranteed we can use the service and they don't have any plans to block this kind of service in the near future.
Of course they could just go ahead and block it despite what he said, but oh well... I use Gmail and I'm not freaking about Google discontinuing it.
Thanks for everything you said. It's always good to have that in mind.

If we all avoided every airline that had bad service, we wouldn't fly ever again. Airline customer service might be improved if they rotated their customer service people more often. I would imagine it's draining to only hear complaints all day everyday. No excuse for that behavior though.

Hugin can do some of this, too. I use it mostly for stitching panoramas together but it is possible to hold the camera still and catch several 'instances' of a moving object. For example, here is someone pier jumping into the sea, and you can see four instances of her while the other people (and of course all stationary objects) are perfectly normal: https://imgur.com/h5Ysb6b

Be interesting to see how they're solving the cross-contamination problem. Iron-Chromium batteries fell out of favor because once the electrolytes mix (and they always do) the cell is done.

The vanadium-redox battery was an advance because with the same electrolyte on both sides you don't have that problem (but vanadium is expensive in this application).

Last I heard there'd been some significant progress on house-scale iron-air flow cell type systems, which is the one I'm really excited about - no cross-contamination to worry about their either.

You have to wonder if its even possible for the same tools that you use to A/B test small changes (i.e. in UI, menus, branding language) can also be applied for these more broad systemic changes. What it sounds like a lot of the software mentioned in this article does is to maximize locally. Is it even possible to then use the same process to maximize globally? If the answer is yes, then companies should ask themselves if they're willing or able to make such large systemic changes on such little data. I wonder how many people would be able to make such game changing decisions off of the results of these A/B testing surveys. My guess is probably not a lot.
I must say I'm impressed. And its response time is not bad either. But.. how will it scale?!
Windows 8 Start menu from Microsoft? Not till 2015

Why is this on HN frontpage? It's a reactionary protest from a customer who was has suffered inconvenience at the hands of 'the system'. Anyone who has done extensive flying in economy class will have similar experiences, or at least missing baggage.

From my experience of travel in other countries, including India, a travel delay of this nature is the norm. Perhaps the OP is holding European transport efficiency to a higher account than those of his own country?
At my university, 15 years ago, we had network profiles. So you would log to any machine in the university, your home directory would be your own. That worked with dual boot Windows and Linux, so you'd get the same files on either platform.

The machines were pretty much stateless. When you booted a machine you could choose between Windows, Linux, or reset the whole machine. The third one was what you did when the machine acted funny, it would wipe the hard disk and reinstall both OS' from a network image. The whole process was completely automatic and was done in 20 minutes.

So it was real hot desking, and it worked great. You sat at any computer, it became your computer. Way before Google started to talk about stateless computers and their chromebook.
That's not the evil part. The evil part is how they appropriate, to varying degrees, the works of content creators, and then sell advertising on top.
I agree the term seems a bit strange, but people seem to know what it means (Larrabee was often referred to as a GPGPU http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larrabee_(microarchitecture) ).
