Cars park in designated spots on streets, they are (generally) not randomly dropped onto sidewalks and parks. The issue for me is the co-opting of public space for private enterprise in the least considerate way possible. People leave these

"Third, people vary, and two groups of scientists might end up with very different results if they do the same experiment on two different groups of volunteers." This seems to me to be such an important key to understanding this.

Was coming to say the same thing. This list is absurd. Looking at 'Payments' they mark a branded Chase offering as a distinct business? It is a product offering, and would not be an independently viable business (not saying resell

The ‘US Standard’ for free speech is exactly where it should be, and applies to the government’s role in censoring citizen speech. Joyent, as a business has no obligation to support anything outside of their own policies.

I'd be interested in the next few sentences to go deeper on why. Why should we delegate the prioritization of societal values to the wealthy? what about wealth-accumulation makes them better suited to choosing how we should solve probl

In thinking about this last paragraph, I think it may imply I am suggesting that /only/ government can solve these issues. it would more accurately reflect my position to say that a diverse set of players can participate here, Gov

There is something odd about the complacency implied by the line of thinking this game seems to represent. Why is it more Jeff Bezos' problem to solve homelessness than it is each of ours? Does he have a greater moral directive to do s

Planet Money did a story[0] on this a few years ago, which helps articulate why artists see value in the traditional way of selling tickets. [0] https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2013/06/25/19564103

I find it a bit hard to parse the pie menu. My eye has no obvious place to start or end in reading the options, so i try to pick one quickly. Vertical menus have an explicit order (if not alphabetical, an intentional one) which helps I can

The in-dash systems these days do a lot more than they used to. Mine (VW Atlas) has 50% of the temperature control, all vehicle settings, etc baked in. All could theoretically be maintained and upgraded, but these are not really separable f

In my experience this is the result of some weird contractual framework. Of the show's I've watched, only Marvel's Agents of SHIELD included it and it was almost always 15 second spot. Not really a big deal for me.

A nice memory from my childhood (early 1980's) was doing a school trip to some sort of design shop where they were CAD and getting to take home a crisply plotted rendering of the US Space Shuttle. In my memory, it was pencil not pen, b

Was coming here to post the same thing. The vans in my area are unbranded, the employees unprofessional and the delivery is sloppy. "Soft" expenses such as uniforms and paint make a difference on perception, as would better superv

I'm not sure that total deregulation of the prison phone market is a good idea, but at least in the United States, the current solution is pretty outrageous [0]. There is a a reasonable censoring role to be played by the prison (same a

This whole blog is interesting, glad to have been introduced to it. As an American, I love being reminded how young everything about us is. See, for example, the entry about the Duchy of Cornwall [0]: "The Duchy was created in 1337 by

I agree that clubs are a great solution for this kind of thing. I'd encourage kids to explore whatever interests them (business, dinosaurs, Model UN) as early as they're interested. But canonizing 'business' as a core ed

Further down the page you "meet" more of the team. I think the idea is to emphasize that this is a phone made by real people, not an faceless corporation. I don't really disagree with your response, but I do think there is so

With Bezos it seems both. Providing a stable foundation for long-term sustainability, but also an interest in the business being self-sustaining. Productizing their CMS as Arc Publishing, being the best example of the latter.

I agree in principle, but I would personally never return to a doctor who had one of these things on their face (like the one in the article photo). I see all the use cases for field operators, but it remains (to me) as creepy in any interp

I had not heard of this, but it is a good description of my brother who is dyslexic and a talented sculptor.

That is the first thing I thought of as well. Giant 'mis-match!' dialog is the best.

Totally agree with the audit trail. From time to time I look at which accounts are connected and nuke most, but making this a better informed decision through access history would be great.

I'm the proud owner of one of these, and he really makes the entire purchase process a special experience. From the personal email on order to the notes included (and fast shipping). Every house should have one. Or several.

It is an April Fools joke. Like Google Home, but gnome-shaped and for 'automating your yard'.
