It would be hilarious if they were to sell a case for the card too hahah!

This would certainly solve the problem where smart kids go to good but expensive schools, and then take on garbage consulting jobs so that they can pay off their loans.

I would love to hear the kind of stuff everybody is using Raspberry Pi for. Is anybody using them in museums or for digital signage?

He was joking. He probably got startled.

Ha! Imagine how much a Deloitte-like company would've charged them for making that html page.

I was in Lucerne, Switzerland in 2017 and during a morning jog by the lake, I saw a sign in English and Chinese that said don't feed the ducks. Later that afternoon when I walked by the sign, I saw a group of at least 40-50 tourists feeding the ducks next to the sign. Maybe people just let loose when they're abroad because the government is so strict when they're home?

6 years ago I used to live in a rent-controlled studio apartment on the Upper East Side. There was a very old woman who lived alone in the apartment above me and one night I saw her eating out of the trash. New York is a tough place to be.

The new logo makes them look like a boring, stuffy company that caters to enterprise clients. Of course they chose this branding, but maybe this is also what they deserve?

I feel like a lot of my friends who are about to start a family or get married have started moving away from big cities like NYC, SF and LA. You just end up wanting a bigger place, a quieter street, and proximity to a Trader Joe's.

Netflix is churning out TV shows at an astonishing rate, some are great, most aren't. This has lead me to avoid clicking on thumbnails that have "Netflix" written on them unless I've already heard of the show.

Netflix is good at making shows that are satisfying to watch, but hardly interesting or innovative. It's like ordering fast food. Hope they don't do this to their movies.

Quality-wise HBO is still the best.

Why are businesses in large cities going cashless? Are there any sinister reasons for doing this? The article seems too harsh. I thought going cashless was mainly to speed things up during check out.

The only way to ensure your wordpress sites don't break is to reduce reliance on plugins. A decent host like DigitalOcean doesn't hurt either. Squarespace is ok for simple sites, but once clients start requesting additional features it becomes a nightmare.

The new editor looks slick, but it's kind of confusing when you start using it. It works for simple sites that you can build with things like the ones you see on Squarespace, but to use Wordpress like a real CMS you still need metaboxes.

The first time I switched from IE to Firefox, and then later from Firefox to Chrome, were all because of speed. The latest Firefox releases do feel faster than Chrome, but it's not a huge difference. Security is important but I don't know if it's a "visible" enough feature to get people to switch to Firefox.

Lately I've felt like New York is turning into a bit of a theme park. Everything is turning into a popup experience/temporary museum, a speakeasy, an overpriced fast-casual restaurant, a Wework or a luxury apartment building. The people around me used to sound like characters from "Seinfeld" now all I see are instagram influencers and couples who "oh my god, we love the city!".

Miss those days when you could get a $8 Bulleit Rye with a splash of club soda at bar that didn't have a 100 tv screens. I think I've become a tired old hipster.

What a shame, it's literally falling apart. I remember visiting the Taj Mahal back in the day (15-20 years ago) on a full moon night, do they still open on certain nights? Imagine how it would shimmer in the dark, if they still had all the precious stones encrusted in the marble!

I've noticed that smaller companies tend to fill their job requirements section with tons of stuff, larger companies do it less, or at least separate things into must-have and nice-to-have sections. Yet there are others who still have words like Flash Development, Macromedia and Dreamweaver in their list of requirements.

If you're looking for a job, just keep applying and don't stop till you actually have an offer letter in hand. Don't wait for the employer or recruiter to send you feedback after a promising interview. There are SO MANY reasons a company might decide to go for someone else. For example, culture fit, which sometimes means "will this person stop everything and play foosball with us in the middle of the day?"

I still love Google Search, Google Fonts, Google News, Trends and those little widgets they do for sports scores especially during tournaments like the FIFA World Cup.

Things I don't like: Google Analytics (don't think I'll ever truly understand that interface) and more recently Gmail. Sometimes clicking on links on gmail.com does nothing for 2-3 seconds!

The amazon website is horrible, but it's fast and they have the lowest prices (or at least they make it seem like so). Also, they show all the relevant information that you need to purchase different sorts of products. For example, let's say you search for a Fujifilm lens. When you open the product page, it instantly shows you a way to check if the lens will actually fit your camera, I love that stuff! ... and the reviews, how do they get people to write reviews for even the most obscure things?

The ridership is definitely not plummeting. A lot of people have started moving to deeper parts of Brooklyn and Queens because the rents are rising, so they depend on trains even more. The only people who've stopped using trains and buses on a regular basis, are people who can afford Uber or Lyft.

The hardest part was definitely creating a sturdy wooden frame. Glad I'm a designer/developer.

For my thesis project back in 2011, I wanted to create an interactive installation, the kind you see at museums. Since multitouch tables were insanely expensive to buy or rent, I decided to build one myself. Learned the basics of woodworking over a semester, and built a table after two failed attempts. Then I bought an LCD TV, took it apart, connected it to a playstation camera with a modified infrared lens and developed an Adobe Air application. The thing was so unresponsive to touches, I decided to ditch the whole multitouch table idea. Started from scratch again ... learned objective-c (iOS 5 or was it 6), and created an iPad app for my thesis. Don't think I've ever worked so hard in my life.

I was so sure Amazon was going to move to Hudson Yards in Manhattan, but Long Island City seems like a smarter decision. More trains.

If Godaddy can provide decent support, why can't Google?! The only think I use on Google Cloud is Firebase, love Firebase. But even then, I never know who/where to ask if I have questions.

And here I was, just yesterday, view sourcing and editing HTML to read pay-walled articles.

Don't care about FB, but glad I just discovered Outline!

There's no stopping Facebook from shoving ads down our throats, but I hope they consider creating an option to remove the ads and provide extra features. For example, charge me something per year to add chat+media backups and group video calls.

Also, before Whatsapp was acquired by Facebook, didn't they charge something like 99 cents per year to provide backups?

When it comes to programming, I just can't see myself typing thousands of lines of code on a tiny iPad screen, no matter how clever the gestures and multitasking in iOS gets.

Maybe one day the iPad Pro + stylus will do wonders for visual programming languages like VVVV (can't think of any others).

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is easier when moving is built into your daily activities. You might go to the gym and run marathons in your 20s and 30s but it's nearly impossible to keep up with that routine for 30-40 years.

The title of the article makes it sound like walking is better than gyming and is misleading, just like most Quartz articles these days. Sigh, I live in a world where Quartz is becoming Buzzfeed, and Buzzfeed is becoming Quartz.

None of the examples the author shared are usable. They're different just for the sake of being different. This sort of stuff only works for marketing campaigns that have a short shelf-life or maybe art museums.

I'm surprised a bunch of people who call themselves interaction designers put little thought into how people would actually interact with these "web-art" masterpieces.
