Fresh out of university in 2009 I worked as a graphic designer at a tiny UX/UI studio (4 including myself) that did contract work primarily for RIM (Blackberry). A year into this job, the founder surprised me with announcing that we wo

Gorgeous. And, as a curious artist— is the 'GeoColor' image composited by the satellite camera or done manually afterward in post? Mostly, I'd love to see raw stills of the different bands they reference in the image (like th

Similar. Except, I won a pentium (286?) machine running windows 3.11 in 1998 as a 13 year old from a top hat raffle (yes, a magician's type top hat). True story. It had a flavor of BASIC (I don't remember which) and accompanying m

I'll admit #2 is an annoyance for me... but I'll reluctantly bite. However, I would have a hard time giving up #1 to a machine. I do a great deal of my creative thinking, scheduling, et al during my time hand-washing dishes. I lik

For me, dealing with imposter syndrome is about empathetic perspective; YMMV. It's 1:30am and I'm 'pulling a shift' with my 1 month old while my wife and 4 year old sleep. I'm slowly learning to really prioritize

I am a 30 year old, "first generation Mexican-American" who has had to work incredibly hard... from manual farm labor to today's creative tech/entrepreneurial world... for my current immense privileges in life. I have be

Along a similar path, there was a dystopian theory (story?) I came across that made a somewhat insightful reference to this in connection with the Fermi Paradox - what if advanced civilizations all "go digital" (or in to the &quot

As someone who had the opportunity to shoot a few of these last year [0], I wholeheartedly agree. There's so much left wanting out of the experience beyond the gimmick of the wraparound video. And, I'm not sure that films/doc

Your comment is spot on and resonates profoundly with me. I'm also from a family in the bottom income bracket - my family were migrant farm laborers ever since we emigrated to the US when I was two. My outlook for college was dim and I

From my perspective, this tool and others like it in areas like web development or stock photography are beneficial. Affordable access to these resources for businesses and individuals will make the world a better (aesthetically speaking) p

I follow a very similar pattern here on HN. One thing I've been thinking about lately is that I always read the comments first and only sometimes visit the link. The links act as topics that allow for discussion more than an end/r

I, for one, am really excited that Google has approached these "experiments" in the manner it has. I'm a designer with a keen eye on new media; so by no means a programmer/developer. For me, it has made machine learning

Loved it — just wished there were links to YouTube clips with examples from classic cartoons.

While reading this, I started wondering if there are any other 3rd party (civilian?) accounts of the event or if the geography / remoteness made it 'invisible' to everyone else? I have a funny visual in my head of a random fa

I agree with these thoughts based on the current state of 360VR (or non-interactive, if you will) but I'm optimistic about the future changing this perspective. 360VR for narrative storytelling is in a very early, experimental stage. I

After recently finishing The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin, the sci-fi trope of life at different magnitudes is fascinating to think about. Without spoiling too much, there's a chapter where an entire universe rich with intelligent l
