I find regret to be useless to me. It just keeps me up at night if I look back and ignore what’s with me in the moment. Learning from experiences is one thing, but feeling bad about choices I made in the past is useless because I cannot change the path I am on right at this moment. But I can step off it, or course correct.

If I find myself thinking “man I could have made a unicorn startup”, I pivot that internal monologue into “how might I start to build a unicorn startup”. In my opinion, the hard thing is listening to that internal monologue and really listening to what it is saying.

You believe that this thing will have more usefulness in an apocalypse scenario? I think that anything high-tech immediately becomes far less useful if the infrastructure that supports modern electronics and computers collapses.

How does it scratch that itch. This thing can plant seeds and water the plants. You can just run a hose through your raised bed and have a timer on your water valve. This thing won't grow food for you. If you're worried about the apocalypse, then start researching how seeds are produced, because your apocalypse garden plan will probably die right there.

Some kind of high tech squirrel protection like mesh?

should give this to the coach too - Texas players get heat exhaustion

Trace and hudl use shirt number and person tracking. I bet they could add skin color and gait analysis to do this as well.

This. I walked into the computer room with my mom when I was a little kid. There was a dude printing out a pinup and taking pictures of it as the lines fed. My first exposure to porn.

I would have preferred the reverse of crushing our tools into something. I would have preferred pulling them out of the iPad to create. As a d&d fan, I could imagine a bard with a black hole pulling instruments and creative tools out in order to render magic.

I felt like I was watching the end of Terminator 1 when watching that iPad commercial.

I saw a tweet that did exactly that, reversed the ad. The subtext was really different.

I too found this effect in my dissertation research on same-different judgments of figures on a screen. Hard training achieved better and faster judgments than easy. The add from my work is the interaction effect of the cognitive style (holistic vs analytic) of the participant in comparison to the characteristics the task demands. If someone’s style was different than what the task required, hard training worked even better.

I left a $20 bill in my dissertation at the library if you can find it. I did that to see if anyone would read it.

The outcome would mean you would want the best designers in the world working on the problem. The use error in both conditions of answering a phone and diving are the same: the human factor. Only the importance of the outcome of the human-machine interaction error differs.

What brand do we trust the most to do the design job right regardless of context? Well, the brand a lot of people trust has the hardware and ecosystem. Do we trust the app developer, however?

It's not apple designers making the app. But apple design of form over function is certainly a poor fit for a device you need to rely on.

In any case, my gf's iphone's map app is completely unusable from me. Every time it's faster if I just take my own phone and open OSMand.

People working at apple aren't more intelligent or skilled than the general population really.

I agree. I saw no data in these posts. Alternatives could be that they developed a deep learning algorithm to auto label intent and entity? Or possibly interest rate changes drove the stock down 50% and they need to get more free cash flow? Or they hit a glass ceiling in cpe?

I didn’t need to look away to click a link. Spoiler: it doesn’t work, nor do the comments

3. Be explicit about who you are building the system for

I have not yet run across a prototype or a product that does not have a producer and a consumer. Nor have I seen one yet that works for everyone on this planet.

Chapanis 1996 might be a good read.

Sometimes walking around the apple store, do you really want to know?

It might be for your annoying nephew, the one who changes technology like underwear. It's not for you, the one who keeps the same phone for 10 years. :)

(worse, it is for advertisers, or stockholders)

Right? Funny thing is my annoying nephew’s eyes can see the small text on that new iPhone without adjusting the default font. I of course have to. But at least I’m not color blind.
