I love those use cases myself! However, you and I are by far not the mainstream audience. Hate to say it, but the ipad/ipencil ecosystem is too expensive for the average person. To your point about sustainable pricing, bulk of the mo

it should absolutely not be based on age ... some old people are quite poor, while some young people are quite wealthy.

Can you expand a bit on what you mean by "PTSD from frameworks"?

You reference those things as if they are a "bad thing" ... they are not universally "bad things". They are merely individual actions/tools/incentives to right historical wrongs. It's not wrong for people

I can't believe no one here (currently) has mentioned this ... but IMO in an ideal world, the issue of too many utility scripts means that "your system" (whatever that means to you) is lacking. This leads to users/admini

I think this one sentence from that article gives a strong clue: "Activists are arrested for fighting the practice." Everyone is always quick these days (at least, here in the US) to decry "Social Justice Warriors" as if

I want to be optimistic about this ... but it's not like people particular care who is feeding them this stuff. They will complain about shadow government fake news in one breath, while at the same time sharing loads of drivel from `

Yeah, as a consumer, this sentiment isn't gonna get any sympathy from me ... I already despise being "marketed to", which has made me really jaded about content marketing; particularly when I consume it but only realize it&

Honestly, I see this as part of an _accelerating_ trend. I don't think it's going to change, and is only going to become more pronounced.

I keep hearing (anecdotally, of course), that people are starting to prefer Instagram because long form discussions are more difficult there. They seem to be seeking an escape from the news. Fair point about the event planning ... if FB

My rule for tipping is: - someone takes my order, and busses my table: "full tip" (whatever that means to you) - I stand in line to place the order, but someone busses my table: "50% tip" - I stand in line to place the o

It's funny you mention this, I'm 37 and just visited Las Vegas for the first time recently ... as a Floridian, I never fathomed that air could be _that dry_.

fwiw, I grew up in Miami, and I 100% thought that me and my friends did not have an accent of any kind whatsoever ... because for whatever reason, there weren't really a lot of people born and raised in miami in popular media (at least

This is a good take ... the comment I responded to just triggered a bit of melancholy on my part ... thanks for bringing perspective :)

I remember being so optimistic, exactly as you're describing ... ~20 years ago. Search engines, the nascent days of the blog community (rss!); open standards for chat (jabber/xmpp!), microformats for distributed social networks (f

Just because you don't find the casual/small stuff to be a problem, doesn't mean it's not a problem. Your line will be different than others, you said it yourself with your comment on the variation ... why discount tho

On a long enough timescale (assuming we don't nuke ourselves, or we choke on smog, first) ... total and all-encompassing globalization is the end-state. At that point, it will be no different than employers in the US moving from one st

This is the reality ... it's happening. Industry will always optimize, and as technology marches forward, they will replace human workers with technology when it makes financial sense to do so. The discussion should be, "what do w

Strictly speaking, you're "right" ... however, it belies an incredibly inhumane approach to life. Although I concede that reality doesn't always reflect intention, _my intention_ for government is to provide services and
