Sure but you cant bike and drive the car at the same time right? So they own a car and choose to bike. Imho this is even bigger win than people who have to bike because they cant afford a car. Lots of the peoples car needs would probably be

Why would you buy Uber for 128bn if it cant make money? I assume there is a faith that it will find some way to be profitable in the future. But they have been at it for a while…

Adobe Firefly is cute but it wont get you any customers from Figma because it's different product for completely different purpose. Figma has something that Adobe lacks and wanted probably more than Figmas customers. Huge database of e

Asbestos is fine if you dont drill/breathe it. If its fire insulant between drywall it was never proven to be health issue. Its not like its radioactive or something

Having worked for two vertical farming startups… people have been saying the same thing for 20 years. Turns out when somebody actually tries this in practice its not so feasible. Considering both of the startups failed in quite rapid fashio

There is a thing called user testing. I would say if big company makes design with a lot of whitespace its outcome of a process that had many variations and many tests. So yes its subjective and people probably like it.

Its certainly atleast trying to do something. In a way this would be like cap the % profits. And just like capping the profits… you cant do that because why should the super effective companies get punished and not gain massive profit! Ther

I was automatically thinking they are doing it for the process/experience. I am very aware cathedrals used to be cutting edge architecture/process. And new churches are still being build like that. But making building that looks 6

Exactly this is neither state of the art creative neither its valuable for the journey/hand process.

Is it a new thing? Cathedrals were made by creative trying to be creative and push things available at the time. Cutting edge. Lots of new churches being built today are like that. Its actually one of few types of buildings where clients st

Its worse than recruiting. The main issue is foss projects work poorly with designers. Even if you have good designers their powers tend to diminish. Once any disagreement comes up if you cant code, if you cant PR it… wont happen. Also de

Exactly. The whole point of doing replica of something so old especially for religious reasons is the struggle. It doesnt matter how long it would take or hard it would be. It might never get finished and in this case that would be fine too

Aesthetics turns out to be pretty powerful even for things like war. This must really attract gamer engineers. There was once certain army that used clothes by Hugo Boss that also looked super cool and i am sure many people loved how they

These “meat-impostors” are popular with vegans who liked taste of meat and miss it. Turns out there are quite few of these. It might be stupid from point of view of non-vegans. The products might even be unlheathly but it doesnt matter. Har

The fact other companies do the same thing doesnt mean what Facebook is doing is OK. Probably nobody (yet) filed GDPR complaint about them. Actually going after the big players is way how to set precedent. If Facebook will be allowed to do

I would say rest of his blog and his books are the missing second half (and other halfs). He is known to write A LOT. I dont think his blogposts are supposed to be fleshed out arguments but more like discussions for/with himself.
