All these problema already have laws on the books. “People are beginning to run across the streets, parking is absolutely overloaded, the police are now ticketing, food trucks are showing up,” the Milwaukee County Supervisor remembers. “It

With all the talk about healthcare these days I wonder as an experiment what a "machine" could detect if you gave it saliva,urine,stool,hair sample. Privacy concerns aside I would assume many basic medical issues could be diagnose

Yea many take their "cue" from a few popular designers and sort of use it to justify their design decisions. Often I feel its newer designers who may not feel comfortable taking a more assertive role in the process. I also notice

Its pretty much based on how easy/effective it is for users to use and understand. A/B test what works and you find it aint much. Oh and fighting the powers that be to try something new is not to be underestimated. I have had to m

I cant speak for design community as a whole, but I do design a fair amount of things including UI. I think many speak of simplicity since it is pretty much rule number one because its tied to use. Anything not needed is waste or simple cos

Thats my thinking as well, but I dont think they will change anyones minds if they dont show some sort of results.

Is there any good information on what has been accomplished through such access etc ? What have they stopped using such methods? I think if they wanted to get anything like this moving forward they need to show results. Not too many trust t

That defeats his whole "so what" argument, Because if those 2 matter others do as well.

Ahh the old "so what" argument. So what if I can target recovering alchoholics with alchohol ads? So what if I target gambling addicts with my gambling platform? So what?

"Purist" photography is lot more impressive to me, if there is such a thing anymore, as you mentioned in camera effects etc. I enjoy a good photoshop job as well though. I think where it matters to me is when you are saying someth

"The cultural experience of the decade" I mean they may have got that part right.

Interesting, since I dont see a coin flip as random at all. There are just more "factors" than we can take into account.

I am pretty sure parent is "right" from my limited understanding. That being having watched some interviews etc with sushi "masters" I have heard some of them say same thing. If I remember where I will respond again and

I enjoy them but would never eat a fresh one, they scare me :) I use minute amounts in cooking because the flavor actually holds up and is different compared to other peppers I had. I do suggest to someone who may want to try them to use ve

If you ever get a chance to try "carolina reaper" peppers I strongly suggest giving them a try. A friend grew some and they have amazing flavor imo. Very hot but retains lots of flavor when dried. If you can grow them, even better

I was not speaking to what marginal cost is, I was speaking to the reason they chose to use the term marginal cost and also chose to pin it to sunny/windy and free. Some are assuming I did not see "marginal" in there, but the

This article is being read by other people besides on HN. My comment was directed at the overall quality and rhetoric/falshoods used in article not how it effects HN readers or to try to save them from themselves.

As rhetoric I would compare it more with "I will be giving everyone free balloons all day while supplies last!" and the supply is one balloon. Sounds great but reality is vastly different. Again though I dont expect everyone to se

That falls under "rhetoric" the author takes a small unit of time "when sun is shining and wind is blowing" to then use the word "free". Thats cherry picking to the extreme and rhetoric 101. It is used to paint

One that sticks with me the most early on was very simple but inspiring. Using a hole punch to turn a single sided floppy disk into a double sided at a time when double sided cost more.

Was hard to get through the rhetoric and falsehoods like "When the wind is blowing and the sun is shining, the marginal cost of that electricity is essentially free" I read on until "The natural gas that comes out of these we

"There is no compelling economic reason to tell the truth or keep one’s word" This article was from 1990 but I sure hope no one "educated" wrote this. The ignorance of that statement is astounding. I wont even bother goi

I think part of the problem is how often people idolize the rich just for being rich and not for what sort of person they are, it enables them. Money doesnt impress me, good people impress me.

Was not my intent to make you feel infuriated. I do feel you may be reading a bit more into my post. I agree with your thoughts on the art world. I also notice you say you quit the art world not making art.I think that is very different tha

Gee I wonder if the 10'000 "raters" will have a bias. I have no problem with such an idea in concept, but I know the process and what is being driven down will be opaque as possible. I wish they would change their search engi

I enjoyed his thoughts on his youth and artistic struggle, but as an artist I would say the fact that he quit making art is the proof that he just wanted to be an "artist" rather than make artwork. I think there is a difference be
