I do believe it is to some degree jealousy. Everybody understands the scarcity and power of passion; what’s work for some is love for others. When you compound a lack of passion, insecurity and bad human character, it’s not surprising to ha

They’re mutually exclusive; I’m sure GP meant it in a pragmatic sense.

Totally arbitrary. In French 2ème Janvier 1900 would be the most common.

The "oh yeah" has a sexual intonation to it; it's perfect.

Off-topic, but wanted to call out the pleasing design. Loving the miniminal/visible/crisp/high-contrast shapes and legible fonts.

Chime does too. And it feels very clumsy.

Technology has advanced so much, yet the UX of real-time video interactions is dreadful. No exceptions. I'm expecting a lot of potential improvements and opportunities in this area.

My attempt at explaining why periods at the end feel uncomfortably stiff in a Slack-like environment: Social conversations are fluid and open-ended, with participants organically shifting between listening and speaking. A period however con

Can you name a few of the billion places? Of course with similar potential impact as Twitter, and without the censorship.

UX overall is under-appreciated. It's very hard to measure "soft" attributes (effects of aesthetics, chaos/consistency, ambient stressors, physical exertion, etc. on mood) of humans, hence harder to gain consensus. It&#x

I never use any protection on my iPhones. I find cases ugly and bulky; I want to enjoy the device's feel, design and engineering. The iPhone 8 with it's full-glass enclosing has been surprisingly sturdy, surviving even rough drops

Nobody’s saying serverless makes monitoring unnecessary. But a serverless architecture gets rid of an entire category of bureaucracy and issues that can arise from dedicated servers.

The psychological effects of technology seem often overlooked—and they’re hard to quantify. I wish there was some easier way to quantify the “soft” aspects of everything that surrounds us, e.g. the long-term impact of beautiful and usable U

And I’d argue the mere possibility of the server breaking at any time contributes to non-negligible amounts of sustained psychological stress.

Is there a specific reason early settlers would decide to stay in such harsh climates? Risk/benefit of trying to wander somewhere else? Surely they would be aware of the benefits of warmth, and perhaps know there are warmer places on E
