It seems that maybe they were manufacturing mind games just to edge him out, for various reasons. But if Apple is so good at making bold moves and quick decisions, it's weird that his superiors would act so childishly toward him.

Whats incredible about this is that they are taking such a futuristic and ambitious project and not scaling it back or making it more realistic. They keep pushing the boundaries on what they can accomplish with it. I hope they'll be able to achieve everything they set out to do.

Re:Ask HN: Why are you off Facebook?
on Wednesday March 25, 2015 @09:33PM (#9267275)
I only go on for college club/team notifications, other than that, I am off it completely.
My news feed is polluted with ads and garbage news that have been shared by people I hardly know. I've added so many 'friends' that are hardly acquaintances now, and I don't feel like deleting them, because my real friends hardly use Facebook either so its not worth it.
An additional annoyance is notifications for things that I don't care about: invites to facebook games (why are they even a thing?), notification of friends activity, and updates from pages I liked years ago. Its just become more of a hassle.

Re:Ask HN: What does a living room not centered on a TV look like?

My best interior design skills would tell me to have part of the room with seating facing inward, maybe toward a fireplace, for conversation. And then maybe a more open area, with a coffee table perhaps?
You don't want all the seating to be in a big circle around the room. I'd break it up into groups of seating focused on different parts of the room.

Re:What We’re Missing in Measuring Who’s Ready for College

I feel like creative problem solving is something that is overlooked by the SATs and GPAs. Instead of measuring the accuracy of the information regurgitated, colleges should develop a better way to measure creativity, adaptability, and work ethic on subjects they enjoy.
