How I hoped this worked when I heard about it: Take photo of poster next to a credit card, it extrapolates the size based on the card, and automatically configures the frame dimensions to fit, so I don't have to measure anything. Just

My guess is that their strategy is to create a chilling effect by making an example of this guy. From their perspective, if smart people become more frightened to take on projects like this, their money was well spent. $10M is lunch money h

Astute of you to mention Palantir - I spent some time there a few years ago. To their credit, they took stunningly good care of me as an intern. Fair rate, and every perk I've ever seen listed by any company ever. However, I was very s

Dealerships are that hands off. In the same way that many smaller electronics could be fixed with a $0.15 capacitor swap, but the guy behind the counter at radioshack has no idea about the inner workings at such a fine level. The company ca

I believe he was being facetious - seemingly flashy perks are very commonly used a substitute for actual money, and it works stunningly well. 5k in catering and laundry will shave 20k off an entry level salary more often than it should.

Defying users' expectations about standard browser features is the polar opposite of a UX improvement. "I was on the fence about paying these guys $200/mo for their SaaS product, until I saw that their cursor was a rocketship

Conceptually interesting, but I agree with other commenters that tying a public login to an anonymous currency via an unvetted 3rd party that holds it for 3 months sounds more like a bad joke than any kind of real service. Huge signup frict

The example in the article narrowly avoids a very common use case that's one of the reasons I enjoy bootstrap - it lets you address multiple width cases in the same line. EG, if I want a content area that adapts to phone/tablet&#x

As a UIX designer/hobbyist finance geek: Building a common visual language to convey the health of securities is a fantastic, ambitious goal. I love it. With that said, this information is basically unparseable, especially at a glance.

Disclaimer: This is a personal theory, and while there's some research that says similar things, I'm not a cultural anthropologist. Grain of salt. I think it has to do with the youth of tech as an industry. I'm 25, and I stil
