People love creativity, as evidenced by our love of the results of creativity. Our systems however, are not set up to reward creativity. Our systems at work, at school, and in life in general are set up to maintain a status quo, to result

It should just start moving automatically. And it shouldn't be linked to scrolling, because what they're doing is not scrolling. What they want is an animation, with a nice timeline control or video-like scrubber. That goes for

I had no clue it scrolled. Bad UI.

This is perhaps unintentionally describing the entire population. I believe this will be a huge barrier to adoption overall. Americans, in particular, don't drive cars for transportation. They drive cars because they wish to maintain t

Actually I think it's quite meaningful, due to its recognition of introversion and extroversion as more of agencies which aren't mutually exclusive. Anecdotally, I identify with this much more closely than other analyses. So muc

I've taken a couple Coursera and other self-led courses and it's not a good fit for me. I recognize my deficiency at self-directed learning, and I imagine many many people share it. I just can't learn that way. A good chunk

Let's get down to brass tacks—is there a ruby gem which can use this and drop into the Rails asset pipeline to speed it up? If not, what would be the best way to get that started? Edit: found this: https://github.com/hc

The market is really killing them for their current earnings report, and for the statistically insignificant fires. The market doesn't appear to be correct. Tesla has a long way to go, but they seem to be doing it very right.

The problem is that this doesn't quite look like natural growth. Maybe it is, but it's pretty quick, constant, and unnatural looking. People don't generally behave that way.

I'd actually use a lot of these logos for the types of companies that they're for, even just as-is. The drawn look lends a lot of authenticity and fun. That said, the concepts themselves are straight up usually good. I'd say

Yes. Our current social spaghetti has nothing to do with an overeducated populace or anything like it; it's simply a wealth divide that is self-propagating. It has to end sometime and it ain't gonna be pretty.

YES! This. This graph tells all: http://i.imgur.com/ZxBWh.png And yes, we've simply learned to ignore it. The gap of productivity and wealth that is no longer being earned by the working/middle class is being syst

Pretty amazing that something like this is basically a statistical certainty with the amount of imagery we generate of the world.

It would be insane to short any of these companies, because the perception is so far from reality; and it's perception driving the price, not reality. That's the point.

Oh absolutely. It's part of cultivating the culture. Personally I like the book "The No Asshole Rule."

There must be a balance, since both are in fact true. The same can be said of politics, but extreme ideologies exist still.

You'd think that, but in fact, statistically and scientifically speaking, the opposite is true. This is the disconnect. "the idea of rewarding high achievers (carrot) and punishing under-achievers (stick) is a good one." No,

It's more about producing a quality culture in order to produce a quality product. You can still recognize people for performance, but not by an unverifiable and arbitrary rating scale. You can still promote people, but do it in the op

Completely agree, I think you have the roots of the different paradigms entirely correct. It's also the same dichotomy that produces the bisected political extremes in the US. I disagree that we don't want to go there. One of thes

This is just an amazing site with the xkcd Cloud -> Butt extension. I know this isn't HN appropriate, but it really is quite remarkable.

I realized a while ago that they're really not trying to provide a good UX anymore. There are some complainers, but most people are locked in and mostly enjoy it. If you're smart you block people and prune your friends list wise

This is simply a discussion of quality. Optional things may still be evaluated.

Furthermore, it's not some super rare occurrence that a large corporation that has long departed from its in-touch startup roots forgets how to have that intuition. For that reason alone, posts like this from individuals to large compa
