Ahem, does that presentation say anything else? It’s explicitly about people who are introverts. It doesn’t mention or target extroverts at all. It doesn’t say anything whatsoever negative about extroverts or imply that there is anything wr

Morals aren’t just for when you decide that killing people is a bad idea. I think it’s morally right to not jaywalk when there are children around. That’s even less harmless than downloading files, but it’s still a moral question.

Why do you think ad networks can’t survive without targeting? Missing third party cookies doesn’t even mean that all targeting is impossible.

I have had third party cookies disabled for years and only ran into problems a few times, but that was years ago. Disabling third party cookies seems like a sensible default to me. You can have an argument about which option is better and t

Which is the only perspective that matters for the company.

Electric cars have an uphill battle in front of them. As a company you cannot have fussy debates about whose fault something was.

But it’s new and unusual. If there are really only these vague warnings in the manual (manuals tend to have all kinds of crazy warning that you usually don’t have to take all that seriously) then this is absolutely Tesla’s fault and they ha

I don’t think you can allow yourself to think that way as a company. Fussy debates about whose fault it was – when your customers didn’t do anything outrageously unusual – lead nowhere, just to bad PR.

Yes, it is Tesla's fault. Clearly. You shouldn't need to read a manual to drive a car. Tesla has to make sure things behave like people expect them to behave. That's how people are going to see it, anyway. Owning up to it would be a small p

Emglish speakers make that mistake all the damn time. I have learned to ignore it and not be annoyed by it anymore.

Meh, for closed over the ear headphones I prefer Beyerdynamic's DT 770 Pro. The only problem is that they put quite some pressure on your head. You have to like it and best should test them for an extended period of time before you buy them

I don’t think it’s possible to bluntly copy Chomp (if you stay away from copying their aesthetics). All the stuff they do is pretty obvious and standard. It’s only special because the App Store search is so terrible. To me a performance upg

I can see how it’s better (the performance is awesome, searching in iTunes is just sooo damn slow, inflexible and no fun) and it has some cool but obvious tools. I’m just wondering why Apple needs to buy them. Can they really not just copy

Bullshit. http://i.imgur.com/Nw5gv.png That’s how much detail OS X icons are supposed to have. (Have you looked at the apps that come with the OS?!) Smaller versions with less detail are used for smaller sizes. I wish more app developers

The old icon didn’t fit OS X at all. That’s not how OS X icons are supposed to look. The new one fits perfectly. It’s awesome. And: not blue.

Which isn’t part of the web. Flash may well survive as AIR - that’s an uphill battle but it's possible – but that’s kinda irrelevant for the web.

I can’t tell the difference. I really can’t. Why do you think you would be able to?

If I understand you correctly, going from 44.1kHz to 48kHz would be worth it on the playback side of things? That wouldn’t seem like it would be all that hard to do. CDs are a legacy format now and AAC files don’t care about the sampling ra

I can watch every single YouTube video. I recently did a fresh install of OS X and have not yet bothered to install Flash (it's no longer installed by default). Every single YouTube video I want to play I can play. Those that used to have a

In the same place where they declare mobile (a bit of a misnomer, tablets aren't exactly mobile, not much more than notebooks anyway) Flash dead. Flash is appealing because it has features HTML/CSS/JS do not have and because everyone on eve

That seems kinda’ irrelevant, you know, him not being Google and all. He gets to do batshit crazy things because it’s just his own small website. Batshit crazy things are what make personal websites fun. That doesn’t mean Google should do t

Whether or not internet access really is a human right isn’t really all that important. Human rights can be and are frequently limited or taken away. Prisoner have no freedom of movement, for example. When two human rights conflict, one or

The 13 inch MBA and the 15 inch MBP have identical resolutions, so 2880x1800 would be the resolution of both MacBooks. (The 13 inch MBP lags behind for whatever reason – but it’s kind of useless and a waste of space in Apple’s lineup anyway

Huh? That makes no sense. People don’t pick small displays over large displays just because. They pick them because they make for an attractive package. It’s all tradeoff, don’t you understand?

But what size is that screen? That’s the problem. Screen sizes have increased (or rather: it’s now affordable to buy a larger screen). A 27 inch panel with your resolution has the same old and boring ppi like a 17 inch screen with 1600x900

by ugh 15y ago
Does anyone know what those panels cost compared to the old ones? Is a 13 inch or a 15 inch panel more likely to show up first? Is a 13 inch panel even feasible? 2880x1800 is seriously crazy, that would be 255 ppi on a 13 inch screen, 50 pp

I see this as a predominantly moral issue. Google seems to expose itself as the people whom I don’t want to be tracked by by engaging in shady behavior. That is exactly the problem. Yes, anyone who wants to can circumvent it anyway, but tha

Is that really so hard to understand? Google is intentionally using the loophole. They are intentionally circumventing users’ wishes. That’s nefarious. It’s first and foremost a moral failing. That’s exactly the problem. Just because it’s p
