Holy hell is that off-putting. I had a few coupons for Lyft but I'll pass.

I should mention, though, that you can have the healthy culture of driver respect at a place like Lyft with the professionalism of Uber. Sounds like the sweet spot to me.

How is this not called Railblazer?

I'd like to initiate an animation based on a button event (clicking another object). Am I missing that feature?

...responsively.

Tell me more about these "viscous cycles."

Their website for a new browser is ironically aggravating.

I have this nagging urge to take a step back and examine the necessity for a piece of paper in the first place.

Mandatory timeout means that even the best photos go away. No proliferation of the beautiful and perfect, no buildup of the quick and dirty.

Every one dies.

They reinvest heavily. It's sad that my interview didn't result in an offer. I really love Amazon.

I'd add that trust is a critical component of flat structures. If you lose it, or feel threatened and react accordingly, it shifts power around in a way that will ultimately unbalance the ship.

Really needs an indicator that tells you how many moves you have in a given turn, which goes down as you click.

Sweet ad for askmeevery.com.

Short of actually making (good, working) stuff, informed and merciless prioritization is the most important thing you can do in producing software.

Nothing they have done or said strikes me as an honest admission of guilt, sorrow or concern.

Or the insanely small limitations on city size.

It's partially a stealth layoff.

For that money I want a real OS.

Neat. How do I add grays?

Took the words out of my mouth. I can't believe we're still debating this as if it's one or the other.

An important clarification but I still feel great pride at fellow gamers showing people what's what.

16px is the new minimum. You START there.

Really interesting point of view - thanks.

Do you participate at other sites, like IndieGoGo? I ask because I have a project that I think would get traction but KS has strange rules around some types of projects and mine is excluded.

I call this "container hell."

I don't think we should avoid having opinions on this; I just think it's overdiscussed.

In the spirit of you calling me out, I will say that most of what Apple does (particularly in iOS) is beautiful and usable.

I've been doing "almost flat" for years because it's the simplest expression of a design without gutting affordances.

Things that are interactive look interactive, and these attributes are only used for that practical purpose and never for pure decoration.

I really don't understand why this is even a debate. Do we need a daily post talking about how Apple's overwrought, realism aesthetic is tacky (it often is) and how flat design is too flat (which it is)?

This issue has officially reached dead horse status.

Nice try, person-trying-to-steal-my-idea.

So it's basically incremental paging with a lot more work.
