You _are_ taking on more risk — to the other drivers on the road. That's the crux of the post.

Developers have pretty much solved the launch-fast-and-iterate problem with server-side updates — they don't need to submit a new build to Apple for every update. I'd argue that Apple's app store policies have mostly resulted

Try YouTube Music. There's a tab in the player that shows related tracks for each song you're listening to.

Windows biases for a sharper text appearance, whereas Mac is much smoother. I can see why some folks prefer the sharp look, but fonts on Windows often look nothing like what the designer intended. Mac is a lot more true to the font design.

That's fine, I'm merely refuting the assertion that a polarizing design is inherently awful or would prevent a product from being successful.

The touchscreen interface is indeed a design decision, and it was a polarizing one. Many people did _not_ want a touchscreen interface in 2007. They insisted that the physical keyboards of their blackberries were more usable and more practi

Not sure what you mean by slightly larger SUV — the Y is the same size as an X3, the X is the same size as an X5. Cheaper cars, sure... and clearly that will be their strategy as they scale production. You could also argue that the Cybertru

No, every other smart phone out there looks roughly like the iPhone. When the iPhone was announced, many people thought the lack of physical buttons and keyboard was a bad idea.

That's entirely subjective. Aesthetically, I think it's quite thoughtful and refreshing. Car design has been absolutely boring for 20 years — each generation with more lines, more shapes, more superfluous details. It also drives l

They now have nearly a full line of "conventional" looking cars — S, 3, X, Y, Roadster — that are still years ahead of the competition. Cybertruck may be risky as an individual product, but the future of the company isn't on

Stored on different servers in different jurisdictions, right? Sure it's not ideal if you want maximum security of your data, but it _is_ a huge difference from simply storing plain text.

You're still way off. It's not a "web" design tool; it's a visual design and prototyping tool. Folks are designing a lot more than websites and web apps with Figma.

Huh? Why? Designers had previously been using native apps for ages — Photoshop, Illustrator, Sketch... Figma has been successful not just because it's collaborative but also because it's performant, powerful, and reliable. Not sur

It's not from the flour — most of those other places use 00 flour as well. It's from the dough not being stretched as thin.

Your first statement is just plain false. Much of the contemporary art world (and Modernism and Postmodernism) can be characterized by a rejection of realism and strict representations of nature. Have you been to a contemporary art show rec

No, it's not correct. The author's argument is that you absolutely should not use pure black in design because it's "unnatural". The false assumption he's making is that artwork and designed objects or interf

oof. this is awful advice, even as a rule of thumb. obviously, absolute black is impossible to create, but there are plenty of examples in art and design where truer blacks are intentional and used effectively. Here's some beautiful ph

Fair point, however I'm using the market build now and the transitions still feel unnecessarily slow.

It's a shame that Apple is negating that responsiveness with painfully slow transitions in iOS 7 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZQC_W0c-C8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK2yVUkyjE0
