Not intentionally. I can't find the source right now, but I recall an article mentioning medical practitioners being trained for massive natural disasters (e.g., Haiti) in a matter of weeks. Obviously these people were trained to perfo

I think it's a question of barriers. You can't charge tens of thousands (often totaling hundreds of thousands) of dollars and many years for a professional degree and expect folks to buy it over other options that cost far less ti

You raise a good point though. Ethically, it's expected, but even ethical people are known to be drawn by greed on occasion. That's why the incentive-structure needs to be flipped to be outcome-driven, not treatment-driven...

I agree, but isn't that a user-engagement / motivation issue? It seems one can make the most beautiful, intuitive wiki-style tool for enterprise knowledge sharing and it will quickly become irrelevant because no one will consisten

Yeah but I'm sure Katy Perry gets enough out of the service to pay it $10k a year. For example. Total revenue would be lower, yes, but that should be matched by cost-cutting. These companies' head-counts are bloated compared to th

I was trying to say that organizations should be charged to be a part of Facebook, period. Whether they choose to advertise or not. In a perfect world, there wouldn't be any advertising on Facebook. Just billions of people using it for

Much better than before. I'm on Chrome on a Nexus 6. The screen is zoomed in slightly by default, however, but a quick pinch to zoom out makes it all fit well on the screen at a good size.

100% agreed. It's not well-designed on the front-end for mobile. That would make me skeptical about the book itself since it's supposed to be about...front-end design. But I think one should be careful about the distinction betwee

This is definitely happening in the collector car world, where the simpler, lighter, manual gas-powered examples are being bid up in price dramatically as porky, computerized, electric cars are introduced.

Agreed. But throwing no money at anything necessarily leads to a worse outcome. They could be doing R&D/investing it (+jobs, +spending), donating it (-taxes, +social good), or simply paying it back to shareholders if they can'
