It could also be interesting to define multiple subsets of sneakers - "2021 avant garde sneakers", "skate-inspired shoes", "2010s most popular shoes in the NBA" (based on https://ballershoesdb.com&#x

Because it's a university senior design project - they often pair students with related majors together to work on a project over the course of a semester or two. It's about the interesting engineering of the entire project. They

The evidence is literally in the original article: "Darker-skinned women were the most misclassified group, with error rates of up to 34.7%. By contrast, the maximum error rate for lighter-skinned males was less than 1%" Regardles

That's a great point. One of my favorite parts of college was small research-based classes with 10-15 undergrads/grad students. The level of personal interaction and feedback from professors was the most valuable part. That being

I had a unique opportunity of taking a year of classes at a good state school (in the top 100 for most STEM fields), and then went to an "elite" school for undergrad (taking a mix of CS/non-CS courses at each). You can absolu

Even worn paths through the grass at university/corporate campuses can show better ideas for sidewalk layout.

Thanks for taking the time to reply - this story is a good reminder to treat employees/all people as well as you can, not conditionally. Do you think there's anything the CEO could have said/done today that would make you rec

Just curious, did you use Instacart or any of their competitors before this?

Cool, thanks! That's a good enough value prop for me to register :)

This is really cool, some great logo redesign inspiration. A couple of thoughts: 1) If you make the logo designs page shareable (step 2, https://mybrandnewlogo.com/logo-designs ), I would love to get feedback from a few peop

Great read. Points #5 (on being able to use a longer time horizon when investing in ideas to let them grow) and #6 (on the growing importance of consumers) stood out to me as well.

It's essentially the build a little/sell/build a lot cycle you mentioned, but you want to minimize the first step as much as possible. As tech folks, it's easy for us to overestimate the importance of technology to our e

Getting a replacement car key made is a surprisingly slow/expensive process for most modern cars (not as easy as a replacement house key at Home Depot, for example)

This is awesome. It would be cool to adapt the same idea to images which contain numbers (house numbers, highway exit signs, etc) like "1245" to represent 12:45. Since you've identified the number in the image, you could even

Looks awesome! The difference between the "time" and "non-time" font styling is more subtle here - when I changed #main_text to have color: gray, it became a bit easier for me to see the time.

Exactly - you have to hold yourself accountable for working hours, or hold yourself accountable for getting the work done. Agree on the exercise as well - no matter what time I go to the gym, my "best" working part of the day seem

Interesting point - avoiding spiders is better for me individually, but reducing mosquitoes is better globally. So I guess it depends if our aversions are optimized for the individual or the species.

Great point. Also important that your customers may not even know what is possible , so they won't know to ask for it directly. Instead, if we ask why they want something, we can understand their intents - and translate that into te

One of the problems with cheap one-seater cars is that they are better suited for short distances than long highway commutes. Being in a tiny car next to a semi truck at highway speeds can get dicey.

This looks really interesting! Two points: 1) A quick side-by-side of a sample Terms/Conditions versus Leaf's summarized version would be helpful. It would help me understand the product more before I install it. 2) What ML/N

Absolutely, that makes sense. Sure, would love to talk - we've worked with a few large restaurant/hospitality brands so far. Mainly the feedback has been around patterns of reviews, difference in tone, and whether review sites req

Congratulations! This looks like a great purchase, especially for the brand value of Zagat. Do you see The Infatuation continuing to focus on reviews, or adding in more analytics a la Medallia or Revinate? We do customer feedback analysis a

That's a much better video - gets the point across quickly, and looks professional. I'd replace the "demo video" on your home page with that. As a side note, I thought the animated video was well produced. Would you mind

Great point - in every product that you've dismissed, there's a lesson to be learned. Particularly for commodotized products - if there is a way to do it cheaply, what is it? What new technology enables companies to offer their se
