In web examples HTML is "not really the point"? Ok. I can actually accept that as reasonable. But isn't the style of this example to abstract static HTML out of the HTML file and generate it dynamically as needed? I'll g

Thanks for confirming this. My 2009 date was off, it was actually 2007 and I glad you clarified for me. My 200 MB/month was based on rough memory and I thought I might have made it up.

Our problem was we were a team with half in California and half in Ipswitch and we were designing for the case of geographically distributed teams... It was a real pain when we literally couldn't connect with our partners because they

This was UQ Ipswitch (at that time that's where the IxD program was, no?) ? And this was 2009. I think they had a maybe 200 MB/mo. At the same time at Stanford, I was using about 50 TB/mo. Edit: update: I was one of the large

Why put "<li><s>" and "</s></li>" in the html file? Given your style you should clearly abstract this out static HTML. Edit: update. Odd that people are upvoting and downvoting this comm

Thomas Kuhn and I have been secretly collaborating on a paradigm shift, rendering this discussion irrelevant.

Sure. You can survive without high speed internet. This website is fantastic for me because I do not have a high speed connection. Australia would do itself a disservice to write off the impressive power of connectivity high speed always on

Quora is unusable on a slow connection. It literally shows a popup that obscures content if you lose high speed connectivity or drop packets. However, the web is even worse if you have no connection at all. This is important because if we p

I believe there is a mistake in the user interface section. They use the word "esthetics" when they mean aesthetics which is > a set of principles underlying and guiding the work of a particular artist or artistic movement. Th

Are you sure? I've seen many salary situations where employees were repeatedly coerced into extra work hours with the rational given by HR that's what Salary meant. I don't know if this is accurate or not, I just am asking if

Kuhn argues that it would be difficult to discern if one were inside of a revolution as it was occurring, correct? So how does one ask the "right question"?

I think that this might be related to the "patent exhaustion" argument being put forth also by the EFF towards Lexmark's case against a cartridge refilling company. Essentially the idea of patent exhaustion is that a product,

You know what this is? This is an attempt to cover their asses for forcing G+ that nobody wanted. I refused to ever signup for Google Plus and was excluded from Hangouts for a longtime and thus even though hangouts supported Google Voice MM

I believe Richard Feynman originally coined this term as he discusses its origin in his auto-biography 'Surely You Must Be Joking Mr. Feynman'. To the Hacker News community I wanted to share a thought which is a belief that human

Had some weird wifi issues with Apple. Ended up creating a new "Location" (the top setting under Network in System Preferences) and the issue resolved. This is probably a combination of factors like your ability to understand tha

Very interesting. I've been thinking of a similar application platform from the perspective of design/preferences/configuration. We've seen only a very limited amount of "personalization" like "personalize

Definitely not true. As a concrete example disproving your fallacious post, I refer to Mr. John Gruber who called Becoming Steve Jobs "the book about Steve Jobs that the world deserves". Johny Ives says of Isaacson's book, &q

Just wanted to second this, totally agree. Becoming Steve Jobs' authors interviewed Tim Cook, Jony Ive, Eddy Cue, Pixar’s John Lasseter, Disney CEO Bob Iger, and Jobs’ widow, Laurene Powell Jobs.

I hear what you're saying but I have this perspective that includes Kickstarter in these issues. Why doesn't Kickstarter take a more active role in supporting it's campaigners after they raise funds?

I think this is a very good point, thank you. I didn't intend to comment this but now I am reminded of the initial iPad release in which I believe a criticism was raised that there "was no use case for this device".

This was a really nice experience. Just went through this as a total novice -- never setup these APs and I'm not super knowledgeable in this area, but setup was really easy via a nice iOS app. Important configuration options were all a

Suggestions: # Landing Page 1. Increase the visual weight of the Call-To-Action button. One way to do this would be to move the button up on the landing page, perhaps after the first paragraph. - You only want enough text to entice users i
