RAV4 Prime seems like a decent PHEV candidate. Think they can be super-tough to find outside of a few states though. Also, I think the RAV4 is due for a refresh in the next year or two.

I don't think that's fair. We should be going wherever our customers or users are. If it's mobile—and for most consumer businesses it will be—then design mobile-first. We're an enterprise SaaS company. I tell our designe

You mean marketing landing pages? FWIW, I think it's helpful when the value prop is front and center.

FWIW, we've had an LG front-loader for the last 5 years and have had zero issues. They do have a wifi capability to notify, but we've never connected them or felt the need to. If we moved, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another o

Expectations and abilities have changed. Consumers now expect things to look polished, or at the very least, have a defined aesthetic. Businesses also expect that you have other customers and want assurance that you will not disappear. I be

I’m not sure this is a good example. The equivalent would be knowing the exact performance of ETFs or sectors. I worked with casino clients for several years. Casinos know exactly how much of each game they’ll win. They will break even on p

That's pretty cool! A couple years ago I designed a similar 3x5 typeface for Salesloft's icon set. It was designed with a similar style—outer/inner radius, square terminals—as the icons. Personally, the centered descender on

You're exactly right. The Cybertruck an enormous misstep for the company. And the amazing thing is Tesla figured out with the Model S that if you make a nice sedan that happens to be electric—people will buy it. There were a lot of peo

The main thing is the camera. I've got a Sony mirrorless that I've only taken out a handful of times since I got the 12 Pro. I'm planning to sell or give the Sony away now. The workflow from my iPhone to Darkroom/Photoma
