And now you are doing the same by making this a left/right issue. It's not. Both sides use this same tactic. It's a part of politics. You support abortion? Baby murderer! Healthcare reform? Socialist! Higher taxes on rich? Co

Carriers in the US are already moving away from the subsidized model. Verizon has the Edge program where you make monthly payments on the phone for the duration of your contract, but interest-free. Your payments are setup to last the full l

On the other hand, younger founders don't have enough experience so they may waste a ton of time trying things that older founders know won't work so they are able to produce results faster. Also, an older founder may have a healt

One problem that I see (you guys might already address this) but if I'm a helper and I get a call from a blind person and I have just a couple minutes to help but the blind person needs 10 minutes of help it would be inefficient to con

Seeing as how Facebook has been around for over 10 years now, I don't see how that's relevant in this case.

Instagram tried to do it with direct messages, but it didn't take off. This reaffirms my opinion that you can't have a single app that does everything. A couple reasons this may be true, especially in Snapchat's case: 1. Snap

Obviously nothing stays around forever. But there is a big difference between a trendy app that everyone uses for a couple years and then stops, and Facebook, which many people don't use on a daily basis but still keep it around becaus

24/m here. Snapchat has really taken over social communication in my group of friends. It's the number one way to stay in touch on a daily basis. I went from texting 4-5k messages a month, to less than a thousand. If I'm walk

By that logic, if you're using an Oculus Rift, you're also using Facebook.

And just because it's happened in the past does not guarantee that it will happen again. People have been predicting the downfall of Facebook for years, but it keeps growing.

Why would that be worrying? A lot of people wanted to leave the area all at once. There were not enough drivers in the area. To attract more drivers, they need to offer the drivers an incentive to get out there and drive. So they raised the

Screening on convictions alone may be more profitable in the short term but in the long run, as the article here shows, it may end up costing you much more.

Good point, that was a while ago. 2008 was the last year I lived in Sac, so around then.

My experience is the exact opposite. Cabbies in the city act like they could do whatever they want on the road, whereas Lyft and Uber drivers are way more cautious.

I grew up in Sacramento and that's completely absurd. Our electric bills topped out at around 200, with 7 people, living in a ~3,000 ft^2 house, and someone was always home running the A/C. $400/month is insane.

Do you have any other examples of him flaunting his wealth? The money planes was a dumb thing to do, but that's the only example I've ever heard anyone bring up.

I understand your point and agree to an extent, but teaching an orangutan to do calculus would not require you to break the laws of physics, so that comparison wouldn't really work.

For me, it's not so much the leaves or the trees themselves but taking a moment out of my day just to sit there and do nothing. It's a form of meditation. The leaves, trees, waves, etc... are just there as a sort of visualization

If you turn on the Gold Rays one in the background and watch the Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening one, the music and voice over just go so well together, I didn't realize it was a different tab playing the music at first.

Mental health is definitely a part of the homeless problem, but it's not the majority. 37% of homeless in SF are reported to have a mental illness. Whether or not that's the primary cause in those 37%, is another question. Source:

It's up to the designer. But as long as it's used consistently through the design and it's different enough from other elements, your users won't have any issues. Either one of these would work: http://jsfiddl

Removing functionality is not "flat design" that's just bad design.

by dntrkv 12y ago
Well if you can't tell if something is a button or not, that is a poor design. If you design consistently, and treat all elements of the same type the same way, there would be no second guessing. It's not even hard to do, just req

That is exactly how I feel about puzzles. They just feel like such a waste of time, especially jigsaw puzzles. What do you even do with them once you're done?

Another difference is that many people use the iPad as a secondary machine. They have their phone with them at all times. So if the iPad is a little sluggish at times, you won't be too bothered. But if your phone is being slow, you&#x2

by dntrkv 12y ago
I don't see any reason to believe that is the case. I think a more logical explanation would be that consumers aren't gonna buy a new iPad every year. I bought an iPad 2 for my parents and they're still using it to this day a
