touch screens cant match physical buttons. This one is extra funny by taking keys away and giving you unknown things in return. Finally one can once again look down at the keys wondering which is which. After moving your hands away. If I wa

It was just a vision from long ago. But okay, for sake of argument. It doesn't need to be ultra hd in a billion colors, it can go on the bezel and be screen height so that you don't have to aim to hit it. No need for it to glow in

In the 90's I had this vision that the menu and the scrollbar should be physically separated from the screen. If you have (next to your monitor on the left side) a narrow physical display with menu entries in it. You get 4 things for &

You have users fill out bug reports then throw some buckets of money at it. You could even add a magic button for when things don't work that reruns the same prompt and possibly get better results. A slot machine animation while waitin

I like how they (just like imessage) allow you to message someone who cant possibly read the message because they have no whatsapp. Then again, I think they cant even deliver the message over sms on iphone? SMS is only available in the appl

home screen > settings > default apps > email Easy if you know where to look. If you end up in the wrong sub menu you might simply search the web for instructions. Apple provides web pages where they explain how to use the iphone.

Put tiny cams on robot arms and let it control them. They can be flimsy for safety. If it is sure something is happening say nothing, if it is 70-99% sure have it guess what is going on, if <70% have it ask what is going on.

For you and me conversation is about facts, reality and accuracy. For them it is about bending the narrative as far as it will go. It's not strange behavior if everyone around you is doing it.

Imagine we have a million or perhaps a billion years of experience teaching our offspring things and you could fill a sizable library with things written about it. Then one day the level of failure to implement the things we've learned

I often have a mental picture of the thing I need, I start writing it, get a bit "stuck" on architecture and think I could be using a ready made library for this. I find one or a few of them, look at the code (which is obviously m

Nike use to have a thing where you could design your own shoes. Maybe we could use that and have the education factories manufacture the employees to fit the occupation. What an utterly obvious solution, I'm surprised no one thought of

Start by asking their phone number, then, on the next page, have a good few useless questions. Sort by number of questions not answered and least amount of scrolling.

If the initial picture is large enough the blur from down-scaling isn't so bad. Say 1.3 pixel per pixel vs 10.1 pixels per pixel.

It depends entirely on comments like the one you wrote here. To me it is obvious they had more than enough time and opportunity to do it properly themselves and the tools at their disposal get more glorious every year. Users grow more and m

You see so many marketplace accounts suspended without a good reason that it seems like people are making more effort to get accounts suspended than meta makes to restore them. I know someone who got suspended every day at 9 am for 50 to 70

It's more generic than that. If you build on other peoples turf or your operation depends on others you risk everything on a change of terms or a service vanishing entirely. The company could be big, could be small. One classic joke is

I thought about that puzzle quite a bit. The edge cases can get quite lame. The only answer I've found is that one should define the rules strictly enough for people to make sense of them in advance. They should either be easy to find

You could also control the tension of the wires and have accuracy on demand without the wear. I have this mental image of a darts player moving his arm back and forwards to smooth out the tension.
