Things that I value when purchasing and choosing clothes: * I want to avoid lots of decision-making and info gathering. * I want it to be simple to buy. * I want not super expensive, somewhat stylish, somewhat innocuous, occasionally things

That's quite interesting how you think about tasks you want to do with "sources of friction" that way. How did you go about studying/identifying the less obvious sources?

Right, exactly. If you own a bar and some person is picking fights all the time or generally acting like an asshole in your bar.. Then you tell them to change their behavior or throw them out of the bar. Or allow it and become "that ki

What exactly defines a story as political? Some recent topics I can think of... Facebook + fake news is about technology and user behavior, and also very political. Government use of surveillance technology is both technological and politic

Are you saying that makes it okay, or that you are not surprised, or ... I guess, what is the point of saying that Trump is a continuation of existing trends? Is there anything that we could do differently because of that to not move toward

Dang. What great writing! Descriptive, interesting, inspiring. It just makes me smile and I'm glad this was shared. It seems like a classic that lots of people are familiar with, but I've never read it before.

Public transit infrastructure and especially rail/subway seems like a huge common denominator for 21st century cities that people are really attracted to living in: See the Bay Area, Boston, NYC, DC So I think, "how do you build l

Pressing in between the keys so I randomly hit both of them was the only way I could be unpredictable. That got a 4.9. Pressing back and forth trying to act as "random" as I could I stayed around a 7.8. Cool experiment

I agree with this and loved Fooled By Randomness. Taleb clearly thinks a lot about these types of things and usually has very interesting ideas. He also has fun analogies and presents things in a way that makes you think differently (partly

Not just Apple Pay or being a bank, also about health data and about being trusted in other markets than United States. Good article, though.

You say you've thought this for years. What would have to happen to change your mind? The world seems pretty innovative.

If this writer doesn't want their free time, can I have it? Yes I know... probably not the point of the article, but I couldn't get past the clicky-baity headline.

This is great! I work on a team of "intended audience members" for this and have already shared it with some people. Is this the first of the 3 tutorials or do Git/Editors ones exist as well? (I know there are plenty of other

I was thinking about something similar to this idea recently, but replace "United States" with a large corporation. In a sense the United States is conscious, but the "experience" of being the United States, or Exxon mob

This just seems like selection bias or some similar fallacy I'm forgetting the name of. There are plenty of small companies that go up against large companies and lose. You just don't hear about them very much.

Haven't read the article yet but not at all surprised by the concept. This seems like it was just a matter of time.

Very little substance? I dunno... what would you have liked to learn? What questions are left unanswered? Maybe I just don't know all that much about Marc Anderson but I thought it was interesting insight into the person.
