This seems like a poor argument for being cheap. "Starbucks Coffee is a Trustable Experience" Not true - I've had mixed results depending on time of day and what barista is making my drink. "Your $1 App is a Total Gamble" Nope. You have eve

This is cool from a gee whiz/novelty standpoint, but in practice this will have very poor usability. Why? Good touch apps have terrible UI for keyboard & mouse interaction. For example swiping, pinch to zoom, etc. Many apps use a swipe

Admit it - you have no evidence other than anecdotes to prove that signs cause material harm, and therefore externalities. This is government red tape that hurts the economy in that city.

by rhygar 15y ago
What externalities? What material harm is caused by putting up a sign, beyond "I disapprove of it"?

by rhygar 15y ago
Bzzzt! Wrong. This is not a technical innovation. This is government regulation of a market.

by rhygar 15y ago
The cost of this is a loss of jobs for sign makers (and their suppliers), marketing agencies, and a loss of income for new businesses (and their suppliers) that want to make their presence known. Basically, the economy in that city is worse

We owe it to the dead to keep on living. For people like this, I say: "move on and stop living in the past". Life goes on and must go on.

Wow. Posting the textbook definition of MVP gets downvoted. The Redditization of Hacker News.

by rhygar 15y ago
Unfortunately MVP is one of those terms like "pivot" that got out of control. An MVP is "the minimum viable product is that version of a new product which allows a team to collect the maximum amount of validated learning about customers wit

Ask any professional chef and they'll tell you about the long-term consequences of standing all day at work. Varicose veins are disgusting and unhealthy.

The majority of software on Windows boxes is pirated or free. Why would a developer write an app for Windows 8 if it's just going to be pirated endlessly? http://www.windows8update.com/2011/04/28/windows-piracy-chin...

The whole thing has "designed by an engineer" all over it. From hidden UI that reveals itself by clicking/hovering on various elements, to the entire process being limited to one screen which various pop-out elements and transformations. Th

It's a cool in a geeky sense that destinations drop off the map when I click back and forth. How does this solve my problem as a customer though? I know I need to get from A to B. How does the map help me choose which flight from which carr

It looks like it was built quickly. Why is there a giant search bar at the top of the screen? I came here to look for flights, not to search the web. Why is there a giant map at the top of the screen? I already know where I want to go. I do

That's some kind of logical fallacy... sort of like saying... "if you think that aircraft carrier is overpriced, you should build one and sell it yourself." One can determine objectively whether something is overpriced based on comparisons

This raises the question: Are the merchants giving poorer customer service to Groupon customers, because Grouponers are cheapskates, or are Groupon customers just jerks?

A. "Not a Samsung product": in a technical sense yes but in a practical sense no. It was made by the CEO's cousin and had Samsung's stamp of approval. Samsung only yanked approval after it was pointed out how blatant of a copy it was. B. Th
