Well this just makes you sound reckless and ignorant. I don't think you are. The conclusion might be valuable; that taking risks is a necessary part of business. But the way you get there is not by ignoring the risks, but by fully unde

Bingo, ding ding ding. This is true of almost any business process. Large companies have large problems, hiring is but one of them. As soon as a problem exceeds the ability of one person or small team to handle, a process must be implemente

The duration needs to be based on syllables, otherwise the rhythm is totally off. Has anyone made a syllabic RSVP reader before? Might be interesting to see how much more natural it would be (my hunch is "a lot").

That verse is perhaps the clearest explanation I have ever read of why religion exists. Thank you.

This is 2 years old. Here's a better version: http://chrishoog.com/the-helloparking-postmortem-a-look-back... The last part is spot on, and says what you were probably just about to try to tell him (self-righteously I&

Sounds great, but that name is a lawsuit waiting to happen. It'll never fly.

Despite all the seemingly good measures to avoid problems, this is basically my point.

Just what I want: every developer of the 200 apps I have on my phone thinking theirs is the most important one and trying to take over my entire phone every 20 minutes to background process. The self-centered perspective of the article is e

Yeah, it's how I interpreted it, it's how others will likely interpret it. I'm qualified to say this because I'm a designer and marketing professional and have a knack for empathy and understanding how a variety of peopl

The measure of marketing is effectiveness, not moral validity. I'll let you judge that for yourself (and you clearly have).

It benefits both: KitKat is a great name for an Android release, it's alliterative, more recognizable, and of course it offers co-branding and co-marketing opportunities galore. It's a great business opportunity. But there's

A slight sacrifice of extreme utilitarianism for a subtle beauty... I'll allow it.

Yeah, I have to agree: whether or not you can explain it to me here, that page does not explain to me what I'm buying, why I'd want to buy it, or what I can use it for exactly. Seems cool, but better marketing is required. *edit:

What are the true consequences of disabling it though? What happens in the OOM situation? Or does it just not allow allocation?

Well FFS that makes a lot of sense. OSX is just like, "Hey guys, if any of you happen to not need your memory sometimes, would you mind kindly letting me know and I'll go ahead and let you go at a convenient time?" Meanwhile

That just makes so much sense. It has exactly matched my experience. It's sometimes not clear that a label plus an icon is actually better than a label alone: I think having the right icon alongside the right label multiplies their eff

We used to call this Mystery Meat navigation: just symbols or pictures without words. I still hate icons standing on their own, unless they're extremely clear and unambiguous. Even then, they'll be unclear and ambiguous to someon

This is absolutely ridiculous logic. He was doing far more important things at the time than prototyping a calculator, even if he could. These were likely 10 minute flash meetings where he gave direction. This was about time, and time alone

FYI if anyone from Google is reading this, these small industrial design mistakes have convinced me not to buy this phone. Hopefully the Moto X is better!

Yeah, this is wild... I have a Droid 4 and one of the two good features it has (other than the fantastic keyboard of course) is its rubberized back grip. The OG Droid 1 was extremely good, to the point where I could put it on my slanted c

All people operate within a system, whether visible or not. Improve your systems, improve your quality; regardless of your employees. Besides, by definition, most of your employees will be average. Otherwise the average would shift. Focus o

For sure, it's a great starting point, and you're right it's a good tool. Not criticizing the existence of the tool or the work that went into it, just noting when playing with it myself that there's a large gap between

For $2 I will resize one image. For $4 I will resize an image so that it's too small to view properly. For $2 I will resize it so that it's retina-friendly. For $10 I will replace the image with one of a puppy.
