It's a system that depends on the next generation buying into the idea of what a company is worth at a higher value. What happens when the next generation has no interest in buying into the idea of what a share of a company is worth?

Just think of all the GDP that's tied up in investment banking. We'd probably all be better off without a stock market. Imagine if those people had to actually introduce wealth into the economy for a living instead of just pocketi

I hate Google News's custom scrollbar so, so much. I love how OS X hides the scrollbar when I don't need it, but Google thinks it knows better.

Why not just have the dateline static? Why make the user hover for it to show? (Does it appear on touch devices?) Why does the top-right svbtle menu start as a dot? Why not just keep it in its expanded state? The scrollbar on OS X appears w

The exclamation point is iconic. What other brand gets away with an exclamation point in their name? And is "yahoo!" ever written without the exclamation point except for using it sarcastically? It's nearly integral to the sp

>No one is hurt by bad smells Sure we are. Productivity is reduced if we're distracted by stench. Why argue for making life less pleasant? Bathing and mitigating foul odor should be encouraged.

I'm confused. Bas Ording is the designer at Apple who invented it. Scott Forestall is also listed. I'd guess that all of the investors listed were Apple employees.

Sorry, but what specifically is the "prior art" being referenced?

We're talking about culture as a whole, not outlying tasks performed by few. Part of the delusion is people believing they have anything to do with the success of NASA.

We all saw "pinch to zoom" publicly demonstrated in that multi-touch Ted talk before the iPhone was unveiled. I'm not sure why the "overscroll bounce" was rejected, as it was Apple's unique invention and not ob

>We cajole women to act like men. There's your problem. Equality means removing old sexist views about the role of men and women in society. "Women to act like men" or "men to act like women" is a farce. Humans s

I find it interesting that more women than men consider religion important to them, when religion is partially to blame for them being marginalized in society. On the whole, I just look at those figures and feel a deep amount of shame for m

Good point. I guess I mean cutting out one of the middle men. As it is now with music there are two middle men: The publisher and the store. Publishers are getting decent money from streaming services, so that would be nice if it went direc

Spotfiy et. al need to evolve to cut out the middle man. Just as app developers can publish directly into the App Store, musicians need to own their work and publish it directly to different marketplaces.

While the current page is lacking design rigor, it has a wonderfully approachable, no-frills, light-weight, utilitarian aspect to it. I don't think the new design represents the NeoCities mission. Lead by example! By having a minimal h

I've found the best subreddits to be the ones about hobbies or an activity you'd like to learn more about. I think of it less as a "community" and more of a good dump of information and news on a topic. Part of the probl

You actually want buildings oriented west/east, facing north/south. Why? Because you can control the sun with horizontal shading devices. In the summertime you can block insolation with shading devices while allowing insolation du

The LEED rating system isn't all-encompassing, but it is a good way for clients to buy into "sustainability". It's "less bad" and not truly "good", as William McDonough would say. As building informat
