It's extremely difficult to re-gain respect once it's lost. That's just how people are. We form an opinion on somebody, and then look for reasons to justify that opinion, not challenge that opinion. Also, group/team dyna

I've been a hypem fan for 7 years. Take it from me, it's the BEST. My company's UX even riffs off of theirs (with an unrelated focus)

Same as with any position in the tech industry. It's not about job applications and education anymore. It's about networking. It's about demonstrating skills through projects. It's about online presence. It's about

Why do they use so much bloom lighting? It's excessive.

That's true, but you're ignoring the other environmental impacts your plastic use (and my plastic use) will have. Raw materials, expanding landfills, landfill leakage, leeched chemicals from plastic bottles/containers into ou

Nobody gets tenure anymore. Most stay as associate professors, and make 60-70k.

He said contemporaries, not friends. Meaning that other successful PHDs/Scientists that put in the same amount of work that he did, but in the private sector, are making that much money.

Science requires repeatability and thorough testing to stabilize theories. If studies are only preformed once and discarded, instead of repeated, we know nothing.

Those fields aren't the issue, and not what he is discussing in the article. The two fields he mentions, bio-chem (the DNA sequencing) and quantum physics (higgs), both require large amounts of funding to progress. Think the large hadr

Don't think so. The interview is long winded, but right around the mid-point the author get's to the point. The title isn't misleading.

That won't work. The money isn't going to line the pockets of (most) of the researchers. It's going to fund the actual science costs itself, which is millions per project. The problem is that science nowadays is expensive. We

He's really a PR genius. When he restores Flappy Bird to the app store next week, after a week of the media writing about how it was taken down abruptly, It'll blow up even more.

Basically what they're saying is "we're ok with subverting the constitution if it fits our needs". The executive branch's power has gotten completely out of hand in the past decade, all under the guise of "secu

I disagree. Dogecoin has the backing of one of the strongest communities on the internet. It's quite feasible to see it as a virtual currency used to pay for online goods, such as karma, games, or media. It's friendliness means it

The power of dogecoin comes from the community. If it can become the "default" crypto for redditors and the like, it will see huge success. No other currency has launched with such a strong community backing. It's one of the

Yep. Pretty silly to write a whole article about it.

This article is severely flawed. 1. He's confounding "The Internet" with electronics in general. He mentions how most days he spent time listening to an e-book or playing video games. The problem is lack of human connection,

Anything with that kind of growth is eventually going to crash. Human behavior is extremely predictable. Is this "THE" crash? Maybe, maybe not. Will it go back up? Probably.

Super useful article, thanks for posting! This is the true way to manage a content marketing strategy. Build relationships, but go about it in a very organized, targeted manner, and they will pay off long term. Thanks!

It's not just an aesthetic, depth changes your perception of information hierarchy, can draw your eye, and can entice user actions depending on the real world analogues of the object.

"Needing" depth really depends on your interpretation. Yes the github buttons don't need depth to be buttons, but at the same time, their depth probably makes them feel more clickable, and draws more attention.

Hard to say 7 out of 10 is "complete penetration"... Also the author probably meant saturation, not penetration.

One of the most egregious website rips ever.
