yes - either we need to find a new "source of value" or some form of tear down needs to take place. I think historically tear downs have been at a core of human growth and progress, so I think that will happen before people are f

Agreed - something fundamental really needs to change. I'm most worried that it'll come as a result of this election to some degree. I don't think people are supporting Trump because they like him, but I think that they&#x2

I agree with you, but it is also IS income inequality. The amount of marginal income increases (or new income) is going to the top centile and decile and is not proportional at all to the distribution of either income or wealth. " The

I'm a huge fan of Piketty, and have been slogging through his terrific (but long) book and it's change my perception on a lot of things. I don't want to challenge capitalism - competition drives innovation, and the need to su

I really like this idea. Ads are some of the most distracting elements on the web, but at the same time we all understand the need for them due to no better monetization strategy for much of the valuable content on the web. Said as such,

That drove me crazy too - cap-sense buttons have been largely a customer experience fail, so not sure why it's gone on this long. I'm a big fan of the tactile "bump" feedback, and it's way too easy to do something

I recently bought a Samsung Edge for Samsung Gear development, and went abroad for a few weeks so ended up using it with the SIM card for that country while still keeping my phone alive. Apart from the benefits of the edge "design&quot

Posting this to get some initial feedback. Online build is behind development by a few weeks, but would love to hear thoughts. Right now the biggest "next" feature I'm looking to implement is fully functional audio tracks.

I can't disagree with you, these haven't gone out into the wild yet - but I will say I've seen some truly gifted piano players / keyboardists take to this without any mention of strange finger/hand issues with the l

I was worried about that too when we first started to give it to musicians. We had to test this design out first, before we launched it. I'm not a piano player, but I would produce music on flights to China and back a lot when we wer

Also - sorry for the double comment. The design was definitely influenced by similar form factor keyboards like the Op-1 and QuNexus although the latter does not use actual keys but is an MPC like pressure sensitive pad rather than a push&

The proximity sensor is indeed an IR based sensor similar in design to the D-Beam that Roland employs in some of their keyboards. The impetus for these sensors was the need to add a swipe gesture to transpose the keyboard up and down - the

Keys has very close to full ratio keys to a standard piano. If you take it and put it up against a normal piano you'll see the keys span about the same length as two octaves, maybe by a difference of 2-3 mm. This was a very critical a

That's a pretty great breakdown. When it comes to the actual costs of KS and crowd funding we did ok. Profit isn't the big goal with that as much as getting exposure / marketing and proving the market. I think we were a net

Thanks Tim. I'm definitely not innocent when it comes to making assumptions on the internet. I feel like we've all come to expect a certain standard and forget that companies spend massive resources to provide for those standard

Cool, I'm going through the tutorial guide thing right now. We're ramping up on some big Javascript projects right now for incidenttech and this might be a good chance to learn more about node :) Django wasn't too bad, I would compare it t

I've used Django before, but I've never tried Zend. I'm really keen on trying out node.js, have you heard much about Express? Might give that a shot, and if I hit a wall might switch.
