Just to provide an alternate anecdote, I take probiotics fairly regularly (one to three in sequence every 1-2 weeks, or whenever I get out of whack) and have only had neutral or positive results. The flora in the probiotic is really nothing

To bring this full-circle, this goes real well with the original article's idea that the GE system is highly coupled with the nervous system and psychological condition—it's very likely in both directions.

You're very much still in your own head. I have confidence you're going in a good direction, but I encourage you to work on your ego.

The elephant in the room is that gamification does not work in the workplace. Work, a place where we spend most of our time and energy in our entire lives, is something most people want to be meaningful and important—treating it like a ga

To be quite blunt, most of their life is not a very long time. I, too, had a good idea of my learning style and aptitude going into college. It has not changed all that much since. What did change was my ability to use that learning style t

The idea is not the 10,000 hours; it is the mastery they represent.

How are 2-4 not covered by every other applications development platform on desktop or any other platform?

Yes! Absolutely agree. They're generalizable to almost any kind of work. I've been meaning to start a blog implementing his work in the relevant field of Software development. Who are you and how did you learn about Deming?

Such is the flaw of academic curricula. Extreme specialization in a world of complexity. Quality in Deming's point of view requires a deep multidisciplinary understanding: statistics, psychology, engineering, business, economics, and m

Love that first one (attribution error, tendency to over-estimate individual influence and under-estimate systematic effect). It's one of the biggest pitfalls I've seen in software (or any industry, really, but let's talk abo

The most striking part of this is the systematic quality improvement they implemented. They went from an expert saying that long-term balloons were impossible, to making it a reality by understanding the true engineering variation causing f

I'm not seeing it. What I do see is an organizational change. I can't agree with the argument for the gloom and doom.

I think Lightroom was already a bit of a cultural separation from Creative Suite. It's more like Creative Cloud is playing catchup with Lightroom's model, which was already fairly modern and nice. I don't think the monthly mo

So what you have is a fork, with a fully implemented feature, that didn't make it back upstream. This happens all the time, and is the nature of open source. No project is obligated to take your contribution, and that happens for a myr

Ripe for disruption. OpenTable could exist in 1997, the only reason a competitor doesn't eat their lunch is that it's a boring space—that is unfortunately fully booked by OpenTable. They could be toast within a year, if a Slack-qu

In the situation you describe above, it would be nearly impossible for the defect to appear in the first place. You wouldn't need to hide anything for years, because it would never need to be fixed. Furthermore, when trust is placed in

I'd love to see a similar little in-depth profile of all the various emerging tech hubs around the country and world. Boston in particular, followed by NYC. I see many parallels.

You miss the point. Making a better product that is not solely a technological feat is not anti-technologist.

I upvoted you, because you are indeed adding to the conversation. Others down-voted you because your argument was about 30% too emotional. The error in both of your arguments is assuming it matters at all whether these are "tech"

That's a lot of buzzwords with not a lot of value. If you're planning on existing in this space, you already know all this, and you're looking at the white spaces outside the diagram.

Yes! Systems are the problem here. He did not make that decision in isolation—there was some pressure from the supply chain, his manager, or cost that he would have been punished for had he not made this decision. A fear or motivation exist

3 + 4 = _____ There's your answer. When kids are measured by "correct answers" and pressured to find them, then that is all they will care about. They aren't, then, doing math— they're generating correct answers. Wh

"Can't" is a bit simplistic. Think of it like that old piece of software you wrote when you were young that you've since abandoned, because you know, about 20 years have passed, no one uses AppleII's anymore, 126 so

And it really does, too. One of the first things I noticed was how legible the small point sizes were. Fantastic.

Design exists. It is not egotistical by nature. It's not going away. Get used to it.

It is a balance, which is why Steve Jobs got to say what he said and do what he did: with his experience in Zen Buddhism, he understood, above all, balance. Design is two things: understanding people, and creating. You have to balance a pur

Agreed, I think it's great on mobile, but the unfortunate thing is that for desktop, they just scaled up the mobile experience. Maybe that's a good thing, maybe that's something people are used to in this day and age, but I p
