I don't see the under-promising and over-delivering the post mentions. If anything, if true, it is now under-delivering in my opinion. Base on what I saw before, it was assumed that the gull wing doors and 3rd row seats were standard. Now, according to the post, the 3rd row seats are optional. Thats a very different. I wouldn't mind if they decided to do optional gull wing doors for some customers but making 3rd row seats an upgrade totally downgrades the expectation if nothing else for me.
Just to make everyone aware that what I said above wasn't meant to be racist. I'm an asian male myself and I'm just telling reality as it is. You never really see white girls with an asian guy and a big part of that is both personality and looks. Asians tend to be short, skinny and nerdy and they don't have the sharper, more masculine facial features that white people have.

There are of course tons of exceptions to this broad generalization, but the generalization still exists.

Sorry if I offended anyone.
Thanks! I'm just on Svbtle, so I can't do that.

I have that problem with every laptop with the touch pad square in front of the keyboard. I am always brushing against it with my palm while typing that produces very unintended input.

I'm not the only one, I've noticed other people having the same problem.

I have no idea how this design became ubiquitous. It does not work for me at all.
If you had read the PDF, 5ms is the "minimum touch time", which is not latency, but a minimum touch time it can register.

The same software has no problem rendering complex games and doing all kinds of game logic, all in 16.7ms. What makes you think asking for a touch input will take 15 times longer?

Sometimes, but mainly when the bike is recognizable and the owner is well known in a cycling community. More than a few times I've seen stolen bikes show up to the park or the race track.

More often than not, they're gone. This is why I ride beaters on my commute or to the store. The good bikes in my fleet never leave my sight when they're off my property.
That sounds reasonable. I do still wonder about building up infrastructure vs crowdsourcing. I'd love to have groceries delivered, I hate going to the grocery store & spending hours of my life which I can put to better use. However, I'm an early adopter.

Right. Which is the advantage of targeted advertising based on user profiles - the customer sees a product they might actually need instead of being offered a free iPhone.
I'm sure you can make your trivial point about the intricacies of web design without having to piggyback on Jonathan Ive's interview.

For the record, a lot of the UI prototyping at Apple is done in Photoshop.

It's also done on paper napkins, in Keynote, in Illustrator, in Xcode and with whatever works.

Good designers don't judge you based on what tools you use, and they're not picky about what tools they use. They'd use anything. The important part is how you think.

You can think about all sorts of screens and devices and do it in Photoshop. You can also produce unusable trite crap in static HTML.

My Deliberate Quest to Read Proofs Faster
We're looking at deploying a static site generator - but one issue I've run into is how to allow our content folks to use the system. Ideally, the files would be stored in Github and then, on commit, the result are compiled and pushed to a staging server. We've been looking at Jenkins for managing the process, but it seems a bit heavy handed - anybody have any other suggestions?
It would be interesting if a tagging or search system could dig up all old court decisions that would have a different outcome under a proposed new law. Those could form the initial test cases.

It's much harder to do it in photoshop for things like responsive design. Responsive is dynamic and fluid and it's very difficult to capture that in a few static comps. I like this point about web design is very relevant to Ive's point. Apple isn't perfect, and the fact that Apple does web design a certain way doesn't mean other ways aren't clearly better and closer to the values Ive is discussing. Trying to use apple.com on your phone should lead one to the conclusion that apple isn't doing modern web design well.

Definitely. If there is a municipality which, for a myriad of reasons, isn't winning the current cycle of competition for industry, definitely deregulate the crap out of it and use it as a test bed for the products designed and built by Silicon Valley. It's the closest thing to the third world, am I right?

The more he tweetstorms and drops half-baked opinion pieces, the more I see him as having been smoking crack while watching TED talks on repeat.

We hired a bannerman guard for a party in downtown San Francisco on the weekend. The guy arrived half an hour early and was courteous and effective. Highlights included him preventing people standing outside our place on the streets with open drinks (which the police had previously warned us for) and him keeping someone we had to eject from the party out. We used to DIY security which was unreliable and risky as hosts became more drunk.

Just a guess... you were born before 1982, right? I think most of this really is just an age gap. I don't think that PewDiePie is the height of Let's Play quality (and definitely not any of those you listed) - that honour might as well go to Scott Manley playing Kerbal Space Program - but he's not as terrible by a long, long stretch as some in here make him out to be.

> "content quality black hole", "I intensely dislike it", "WTF are kids watching these days"

You know, there's a reason he's popular. And sure, 80% of his output aren't going to match your quality filter. But the remaining 20% will. And, if nothing else, he's a cultural influence. Here's an idea: Turn off your brain and just watch some highly rated or very popular ones in the background. Can't be worse than the vast majority of TV you (and I) watched in the 90s, all things considered.

Edit: And, if nothing else, two decades from now whoever is going to be working with you as a statistical inevitability by then when you're older will have grown up on PewDiePie (or one would hope, something a bit more educational) in the same way that you did on The Simpsons?
> Apparently, because it's the responsibility of Britain, Australia, and Canada to feed hungry Indians,

I am not sure if you are trolling or you are deliberately distorting the view. India was being ruled by Britain, Indians were paying more taxes (if somehow you think it was just tax and not outright looting) than any living or dead British has ever paid to the crown. Why shouldn't 'hungry Indians' expect to be fed? You do realize your bigotry is very visible when you refer to a famine by 'hungry people expect government to feed them', implying Indians were just lazy. Have you read the article I posted? Have you ever read any historical documents written _by the British themselves_ while the famine was going on?

"What is the cause of these famines... there seems to be no evidence that the rains fail worse now than they did a hundred years ago... rains have never failed over areas so extensive as to prevent the raising of enough food in the land to supply the needs of the entire population... Not because there was lack of food in the famine areas, brought by railways or otherwise within easy reach of all... the chief and fundamental cause has been and is... a poverty so severe and terrible that it keeps the majority of the entire population on the very verge of starvation even in years of greatest plenty, prevents them from laying up anything against times of extremity, and hence leaves them, when their crops fail, absolutely undone—with nothing between them and death...

And the people are growing poorer and poorer. The late Mr. William Digby, of London, long an Indian resident, in his recent book entitled "Prosperous" India, shows from official estimates and Parliamentary and Indian Blue Books, that, whereas the average daily income of the people of India in the year 1850 was estimated as four cents per person (a pittance on which one wonders that any human being can live), in 1882 it had fallen to three cents per person, and in 1900 actually to less than two cents per person.

What causes this awful and growing impoverishment of the Indian people? Said John Bright, "If a country be found possessing a most fertile soil, and capable of bearing every variety of production, and, notwithstanding, the people are in a state of extreme destitution and suffering, the chances are there is some fundamental error in the government of that country."

Seriously man, try to read the very next paragraph in the article.

Introverts frequently have some good tools at their disposal to 'fake' being an extrovert - mostly observation and empathy.
Being extroverted is really just putting the effort in to talk to people, and make them feel good about themselves. This builds rapport, and makes people want to talk to you more.

The best advice I can give is to look at how more naturally outgoing people communicate, and then emulate it. Ask lots of questions to get people talking about themselves. Make lots of eye-contact to encourage people and convince them that you care about what they're saying. Reply showing you're listening. Share random stuff about yourself in breaks of conversation (doesn't matter what it is really, anything personal you share also builds rapport).

You don't have to be the star of the party, but being an engaging convserationalist will help you to make excellent connections with people. The more you talk to people, the more you'll learn. If you share the things you learn with similar people, they'll get the impression that you're a social hub, and want to share more with you (because you have more to share with them). It snowballs pretty quickly.

This coming from an out-and-out introvert who has learned when to flip the switch. I was on a 10-day business trip with ~20 people recently, and towards the end confided to one of my new friends that the whole thing, while excellent, was pretty taxing on me due to my introversion. He was so shocked, he looked like I'd slapped him! Pretty funny :D

Edit: This probably goes without saying, but if you do the above, make sure you factor in downtime. Introverts playing extroverts is a very tiring game, you will probably need a day or two every now and then with next-to no interaction to recover.
wow man ! that's an amazing story you got there.
In a free market, property rights are more extensive than in a highly regulated market, so tort law serves many of the purposes that regulators and federal agencies currently do.

>It's much harder to do it in photoshop for things like responsive design.

Then again responsive in the web is a co-out and a fad -- instead of creating the best experience for each screen size, you give them some sliding or expanding divs and some dissapearing elements from the "full-on" design and call it a day.

I've never seen a responsive page I like on a mobile device. I'd take the full page, in which I can pan and zoom, anytime.
> startups who "growth hack" their way to success

These exist? I mean, obviously the 'growth hacking' exists. Is there an example of a startup who managed to build a real business solely on the basis of these tactics? One that 'you can't argue with'? I wouldn't call Groupon a real business.
You know what? I laugh at guys like you.

And the biggest reason I laugh? It's not me or somebody else doing all this. It's YOU.
You, realising your problems and not doing a thing about it, but complaining anonymously on internet.

You cry about how lonely you are? Or talk about how you just don't have social life and nice ladies, and all that emo bullshit? You're a miserable weak coward, why would anybody want to be a friend with you?

Let it piss you off as much as you want, but you know it's completely true.

Many of us there are engineers and work hard most of the time doing things that we love. But if you do want to get asked out to do other fun things at weekends, then stop being that pathetic stereotypical nice guy.
Create opportunities, take people out, add value to those around you and soon they'll start inviting you out just like you're inviting them out.
But if you want to continue crying in the corner, then cool, cry. Just don't post it to tech related sites.

TLDR: You need to think about what you can contribute to others' lives, so that they'll be more likely to invite you out. Having a car and being a nice guy doesn't count.

Water cooled Bitcoin miner – ASIC BE200 Immersion
Original author here -> technically Heartbleed was not a bug in the OpenSSL low level library, it was specifically an HTTPS bug (it was a bug at a higher level than the library I'm saying I liked then and still like). Specifically it was a bug in the "Heartbeat Extension for the Transport Layer Security" protocol (the HTTPS level is the TLS layer, the underlying encryption functions did not have this particular bug).

All that is a technicality, software has bugs. Heartbleed was a particularly bad security bug. This doesn't mean you throw out the baby with the bath water. As a society we all use HTTPS and it had a bug -> so we fix this bug and move on as best as we can.

As far as I know, something like 99 percent of routers and OS systems such as Linux, Macintosh, and Windows use the OpenSSL library and it has very little to do with Heartbleed. On the other hand, it is fairly important your system vendor stays on top of security patches and applies them.

OpenSSL is software, and therefore has bugs. But the OpenSSL encryption layer did not contain the Heartbleed bug. Or put differently, the OpenSSL encryption libraries that encrypt AES 128 and AES 256 had nothing to do with Heartbleed, and those are the parts we continue to use at our company completely for free, without paying any royalties to anybody, and they are a lot more secure than anything we could have hand-rolled ourselves even if we took years to do it.

Seems believable. I just caught an interview on television earlier today with the CEO of a luxury worldwide hotel, and he said leisure clients went up from about 35% to 45% in the past decade, so it's a growing focus for them.

I'd draw a parallel to storyboarding for animation here [1]. Most storyboarding artists get their start as animators themselves, so they know the "form and the material and process," so to speak. But when they do storyboarding work, they need to work in an agile and rapid fashion, to consider a user's flow through the "application" at such a high level that they would be hindered by trying to draw every single detail. Should they know innately what is and is not feasible to animate? Absolutely! But this does not mean that they should use the same tools and techniques as animators to perform their work.

Responsive may be difficult to capture in static comps, but when these comps can be made much more quickly, attention can be given to user experience overall, not just isolated fragments of user interface. And it's difficult to deny Apple's success at driving conversions and purchases.

It's called 'walking the guest' and it happens somewhat frequently. Hotels always overbook when they can and normally it doesn't cause any issues because there are almost always enough cancellations and no-shows to compensate. But it does happen and probably more often than you'd imagine. Typically the late night arrivals will be the ones getting walked, especially if they're only staying for a single night, and even more so if they booked through a third party site like Priceline. I am not sure if it's legally required or not but the hotel that is walking you will usually set you up in a nearby hotel and pay for the first night. Of course if the nearest hotel with an opening is 20 miles away, this could be quite frustrating.

Edit: If you are going to be arriving late, call the hotel in advance and let them know and you greatly decrease the likelihood of getting walked as they will tend to walk someone before you instead.
For me, the only surprise was that the guy is from Perth - my number 2 guess - instead of Sydney's inner west or south or Campbelltown, which was my #1 general area guess.

"Perfect knowledge" in this case is probably an assumption as part of a mathematical definition. E.g. "Assume a hypothetical time-varying universe U exists, and the current time state and all previous states of the universe are perfectly known. Iff the following state of U is unpredictable even with this knowledge, U is defined to be truly random."

The idea that randomness has to "come from" somewhere is a different idea, and the question of whether randomness or order is the fundamental state, and the other an emergent property, is an interesting question indeed.

Therapy is mostly offered by psychologists or social workers. I'm pretty highly educated and can really fight back, so I choose a psychologist who had a PhD. I found I could relate better to her on that level. That's sort of elitist of me, but it worked.

A therapist primarily talks to you. Teaches you coping mechanisms. Works with you to understand yourself over time -- usually sessions every week. They often work in conjunction with a psychiatrist, who is a medical doctor who can give you prescriptions. Most people, or I think most, do both -- drugs and talk therapy combined I think have proven to be the most effective through clinical studies.

I did not want to take any drugs though. That has to do partially with my own family's history of addiction but also the uncertainty in the science around the drugs. SSRIs are particularly scary to me. My Dad is a research psychologist (he has a PhD in psychology but is not a clinician) and I was very scared of those drugs, how hard they are to get off, etc. I choose to to intensive talk therapy without the drugs, which is very hard, I think, but worked for me. The human brain is very complicated and questions about the long-term effects are mostly unanswered. I didn't want to be taking an anti-depressant for the rest of my life.

As for how to find a psychologist, I always tell friends that they should go shopping. You really need to jive with the person. You need to be willing to tell them your life story and to think that you could speak with them week after week. In the two times in my life that I have had to find therapists, I've gone to five or six and basically told them about myself. From that -- which isn't so much an interview as it is a practice session -- I've chosen the one I want to work with. This can be a real pain in the ass, as you're wasting insured sessions, but I think it's worthwhile.

The practical reality of finding that list of five people: once I just asked some friends and another time I just used my insurer's database.
