That's because up until recently, the only tools users have to interact have been 2D. If 3D becomes a thing, more designers will embrace it and think of new ways to communicate ideas in that space. Also, in a discussion about communica

If you can wait until January or February, and live in a larger city, you will most likely be able to find one of the newly released MBPs on Craigslist.

For me and many others, it's about pushing the MBP towards more portability at the cost of power. Laptop manufacturers traditionally have had two lines: a desktop replacement and an ultraportable one. Prior to the Retina MacBook: it wa

That's why there used to be two lines: the Air and the Pro. The new MBPs announced the past week feel more like ultraportable machines versus potential desktop-replacement workhouses. If Apple had the same announcement last week, but i

What's the use case? If it's just for general web development, my plan is to buy a used 2015 MBP, but with AppleCare until mid-2018 or later, and re-roll the dice in two years.

With money, you can outfit your home and workplace with air filters and own a weekend villa further away from the smog. You're still exposed, but at a much lesser amount than the guard who has to stand outside all day. See also: http:

If I understood your original argument correctly, you believe that if transit planners have to resort to using busses, they've failed ("blew it"). In the case of Zürich, how did they not fail your metric? If the busses are tr

Having a bunch of taxis (or Lyft/Uber) is worse than busses. They're definitely less efficient and cause more congestion. Yes, for the riders of the cabs, it's a more pleasant experience, but at the cost of the collective who

That'd be nice, but Geary is not really a multi-lane road until you go west of Van Ness, and the main areas of congestion seem to be downtown, east of Van Ness. The way the current metro light-rail is laid out is a good idea on paper:

I can see why they switched. Above ground, busses are better than rail transit for a number of reasons: * if a bus ahead breaks down, the bus behind can still go around it, so the line's not totally clogged up * busses are quieter goin

Nope. It's called tip out, and in my experience it's been 3-4% of my total sales going to the other staff (sometimes 4% of only the liquor sales to the bar). Othertimes, it has been a percentage of my tips themselves (~30%: 10 bar
