In light of this announcement, it's worth reading the New Yorker's fantastic piece exploring how Zuckerberg's previous $100 million investment into the Newark public school fared. http://www.newyorker.com/repo

This might be my favorite of the three of his talks that I've read. Is there a list with URLs out there of his talks?

If you're unfamiliar with Massimo's work, take some time to read The Vignelli Canon. It's a short work narrating his design principles and an influential design document. http://www.vignelli.com/canon.pdf

One of the reasons I've come to do most of my early stage prototyping in node is that managing npm packages has thus proven much easier than finagling with pip or gem. Ruby installs are especially difficult to manage. Despite the numer

This was great. Thanks for bringing it up.

T-Mobile goes down the route you are suggesting: Lower monthly charges if you BYOD with the option of going the traditional contract route. They even push this as a competitive advantage. ATT and Verizon to my knowledge do not offer equal q

I'm under no delusions that I have access to all the hardware and I hope there comes a day when we do. Till then however, it would be unfair to not acknowledge that we have made some strides in gaining more access to our devices by def

Still reading the talk, but as an aside wanted to point out that the way the transcript is formatted with the words alongside the slides is probably the best way I've seen a talk presented in text form on the internet.

The early days of Android were really something else. Today we're fortunate enough to be able to take Nexus devices, one line bootloader unlocks and production devices shipping with CyanogenMod for granted. What are you working now tha

I got curious about what you actually did in your phone hacking days only to go to your profile and discover that you're the person behind unrevoked. My first ever phone was the Evo 4G and I spent many hours tinkering with it and runni

I didn't know that Butterick updates the book as new typefaces get released. Given that it's web based, this makes a ton of sense.

The interesting thing about Reddit, is that in a select few subreddits that are fortunate to have moderators as good as jessamyn, the experience is phenomenal and there is a concentration of domain experts sharing knowledge at a rate and de

I would almost certainly get this over a Cinema Display at that price range. Looking forward to reviews of this display.

Looked up the founding team and advisors, they're backed by some serious science. This is probably fairly accurate.

Intermittent outages for me. This is the first service interruption I've ever experience from them and even this I'm having trouble recreating because sometimes it works fine after refreshing. Should be interesting to see why it&#

The Kickstarter campaign appears to be a way for Andy to determine that there is still enough demand for what Upcoming provided for it to be worth building for him.

This is slightly unfair. Not everything that qualifies for the phrase "changed the world" needs to solve a significant problem like poverty, health or hunger. Sometimes just being present in the minds of a lot of people is suffici

A pretty good intro for typeface selection, but I disagree with one of the suggested arrangements: > All in all, there are 4 fonts from 3 typefaces being used here, and they all pull together into a cohesive design. 4 fonts in a setting

Yes, but I would argue to a lesser degree. Persistent usernames on Reddit create a culture of identity on the site. Throwaways with no user history that post inflammatory comments frequently tend to get called out and downvoted. That's

The Hario Slim is a conical burr grinder. You can adjust the grind size by adjusting a small bolt on the underside of the grinder mechanism.

This provided a lot of insight into an area that I knew absolutely nothing about. Thanks for taking the time to type it all out.

I figured as much based on the web player, but wanted to double check anyways. Thanks for answering my question. I'd love to see an Android version of this. I'm an Android dev, so if you're looking to port this over at any ti

How are you handling issues related to copyright? I don't have an iOS device so I can't tell if the app simply streams the music from sources that have legal access or if its locally caching the music.

Writing is the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Once the length of what I need to write exceeds around a hundred words, it's almost as if my brain stops working. I'm graduating from college this summer and looking back on i

Looks like it. In this case, it makes complete sense. The original was intentionally inflammatory leading with a line about nude pictures of Hilary Clinton, and was based on the NYT article to begin with.

Not the parent comment, but thought I'd answer any ways. Despite lots of looking around, I too haven't been able to find a streaming offering that comes close to competing with a well constructed Blu-Ray release. My collection is

I was actually okay with the plugs for his own typefaces. Since the book was free, I thought it was fair that he suggest people buy his typefaces to pay for the free product especially since many will be taking his advice to create products

My personal favorite is Mike Butterick's Practical Typography. He's a programmer, typographer, and lawyer and the book is entirely web based. They're static pages generated by code he wrote in Racket, a language in the Lisp f
