I think Horizon is very interesting, but keep in mind it's still very early. As they mentioned on the blog "Horizon is still under heavy active development. In response to user feedback and …

That has been my thought exactly! And they'd still have the opportunity to then use the autopilot brand once the appropriate level of autonomy was reached. Co-pilot --> Autopilot feels much st…

I agree, but I still think the advice has a ton of merit. I've seen weaker ideas padded with features as if the cumulative total can somehow make the product special. ("Sure others are in th…

I am not going to call caching your admin password so it can continually re-enable the feature skirting official APIs just a dark UI pattern.

I'm in a course now where the printed course books (the only materials available) all have the important concepts as blanks. The idea is that it's interactive. But in reality I'm spendi…

For anyone looking for a Mac graphical git client, I should mention GitBox here ( http://gitboxapp.com ) as I've used it for years to augment the command line. Not all the GUI clients f…

"America's wealthiest and best-educated young adults still lag behind their peers in other countries in the literacy, numeracy, and computer-age problem-solving skills needed to compete in t…

I will NEVER forget working as a student in the college bookstore during EOY spending. I watched department chairs throw anything and everything into shopping carts, as if they were gameshow contestan…

The sad thing is, all want I for my kids is great health and great education, and those are the two areas where the US performs the most poorly. That's such a spectacular failing of the basic soc…

There's pretty enlightening chart on this article: http://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/issue-briefs/20... The general consensus is that the U.S. spends more on…

I completely agree. What's so nice about DropBox is how little I notice it. I'm a happy customer but interestingly I would be a wary investor. I'm not seeing their growth strategy. I&#x…

That's more about that particular use of the :before pseudo class pulling content out to the left of the grid. And it may even be the design decision they made. (It fixes as soon as there's …

I completely disagree that it's DOA. In fact, I think it's clear that is the future of development. Like any piece of the software stack, there are providers focusing on services that are pr…

This is a clever collection. I'm sure at least one article, on the eve of the moon landing, asked "We've been wanting to go to the moon forever. What's different this time?" C…

Would love, love for Firebase to have a service similar to AWS Lambda to manipulate and transform data without having to maintain persistent servers.

This all assumes that Apple, who has a solid history of product category pivots, has no plans, ambitions, or interest in entering new markets. Remember how saturated iPods became? Remember when it see…

That's a great design fix and I wouldn't be surprised to see them implement it.

Edward Niedermeyer (the author of this particular opinion pieces) hates Telsa, loves Toyota. Pretty clear if you have followed any of his articles.

From the FAQ: "For now, we make small returns of interest on the money held in accounts. If we offer a Painless1099 Debit Card, which will allow us to track expenses, then everytime you swipe the…

From the article: "Facebook does come out with great, original ideas. It reinvented the iconic 'like' button and created Facebook reactions." I know they had to tread carefully on …

Fair, but I do think it's an open and interesting question as to whether an emerging world of voice activated AI on your commend will have any impact on human-to-human interactions. It probably w…

I thought I'd miss physical buttons, too, but I don't. I really don't. It's very easy to use the touchscreen in a Tesla. Plus, you do have physical buttons available for climate: t…

It's not a strong response. Heard it and ignored it--Sass only points out that he has stories of other people say the UI is "relaxing". Subjectiveness aside, though, my real issues are …

Be careful with "lack of competition". You are ALWAYS competing with the incumbent solution. No matter how clumsy or awkward it seems; no matter how much better it could be; those solutions …

If they layoffs are largely sales, I'll bet the cost of acquisition was getting out of control. I've found in practice it certainly can be hard to keep an eye on LTV (the long game), since s…

There's a lot of Google negativity here (perhaps not without reason), but when you view the AMP spec and what it tries to solve for, it feels like a smart move to help broaden the adoption of sen…

Also, Pantheon seems to be doing very well as a PaaS for Drupal and WordPress.

I was also disappointed that the documentary took a bias towards Avery being innocent. I wish they'd left it more undecided, more murky, and more honest. Even if there was compelling video eviden…

That seem pretty atypical... I'm trying everything I can think of, and I can't get the CPU above 40% utilization (and that was just a temporary spike while searching a massive directory of f…
