Maybe it is. But if the general public is happy with what they already have, manufacturers tend to iterate instead of innovate. Getting from europe to australia two times faster, for ten times the normal ticket price makes me settle for the

I can wait a bit longer, but I really hope my next car will be a fully electric BMW with real knobs and not just a flashy touchscreen.

You should have read W3Schools: > However, if numbers are sorted as strings, "25" is bigger than "100", because "2" is bigger than "1".

Lidar isn't needed. Light rays themselves contain enough information to rebuild the scene.

It's not a flash ad problem. I have seen auto-expanding ads on Android phones without flash. I'm guessing HTML5 banners with javascript in them, but it's hard to find out if it happens only once every couple of days and only

Exactly. Adsense had this problem in the Netherlands and it turned a lot of my visitors to ad blockers, even though advertising on my website was meant to be subtle.

Yes. I ran into this problem with one of my websites. Turns out, a lot of websites in NL were having the same problem. I guess it's coming through one of the thousands of other advertising networks that are using the Adsense auction. I

Content-wise there is no competition for the examples he came up with. I think their success should be credited to habit (people are now used to it) and content, not to their 'ugly' interfaces. I think that new apps / sites l

Ofcourse, that's what A/B testing is about. But this only works if you have lots of traffic. The smaller the amount of traffic, the bigger the influence of offsite factors. Also, the results become more difficult to explain: http

I agree, every article about A/B testing is talking about making small changes and measure them, while you should be measuring only big changes or nothing at all.

Let's assume your site is now working with option A. Conversion rate is 5.7%, measured over a month. You're now running an A/B for 1 week with option A and another version, option B. You get a conversion rate of 6.5% for opti

I did a lot of A/B testing, but I think the examples that are used in a lot of articles about A/B testing are weird. For small changes like change the color / appearance of a button, the difference in conversion rate is not m

I completely agree. I settled on using sockets.io for the small pieces of my website that can benefit from the realtime aspect of Angular and friends. It's shocking how little code you need to make an awesome 'modern' website

Offtopic, but has anyone an idea how the demo video is made? Is this a simple tool like LICEcap or do you need a bigger production app like AfterEffects?
