Downtown Seattle used to be a whole level below street level. You can still tour the underground streets today.

I think because Americans believe they have to drive, that they have accepted the high risks present. Clearly automated driving would lead to less risk and lower deaths, but in thi…

Everybody knows that 3rd party parts, whether for your car, iphone, or dishwasher, may not be manufactured to the same standards of quality than a genuine part. I have no problem w…

My point is that it's the biggest barrier to signup and if you're going to have a successful paid social network you might want to consider the value exchange right now as a new us…

$5/month is such a steep barrier. How many subscription services can we take in our lives? Why can't it be $2/month? it certainly would attract more users.

I think WeWork is still a bit ahead of its time. Some see its value as culture, others see it as real estate. The ways we live and work are changing, but changing any culture takes…

Who really needs this phone over an iPhone XS? I'm trying to understand, besides those who want the latest product, who this product is appealing to.

OM is saying our relationship with photographs has changed, but it has actually just grown to include the phone. Taking photos with dedicated equipment is still important to many p…

I still drive a Saab with the night panel option, which turns off all distracting lights and messages at night. Of course there is no screen either. Driving should be an exercise i…

DJs and Soundcloud help me discover new music more than iTunes or Spotify ever could. Human curation is better than algorithms. Bandcamp is consistently the best place to buy music…

Evernote was never simple to use, and its design was clumsy. I have always wanted to use it but never enjoyed the product. Makes me miss del.icio.us. So simple and useful.

Why would anyone want to work for Facebook these days? When you are maintaining the largest advertising stream since TV while actively destroying society's discourse, I'm not sure …

Does anyone know which frequencies are the worst for your ears? I'm under the assumption that mid and high level frequencies do the most damage, with low frequencies doing the leas…

Because sound is not just a hearing experience, it's a feeling/body experience. Just stand in front of a massive sub stack to understand that. I know it's loud enough when my nose …

This is where I think Snap Inc can innovate. Traditional camera companies will never come up with a camera that shares well to any socially enabled device. Our devices (phones) are…

I was hoping this was a modern flip phone :(

Sometimes text and visuals are both left open to interpretation. We use text and icons from noun project to double down on the point we're making.

I own several pairs of headphones and surprisingly I don't miss the jack. My daily Bose Quietcomfort 35's have excellent bluetooth and switching between my iphone 7+ and my compute…

Offer strategy and design. Most people with ideas and a little bit of funding need this kind of help the most.

ADHD here, managing since high school. Thankfully no more pharma drugs, here's my tricks: * Noise cancelling headphones. Especially useful with no music playing through it. If musi…

This is a great app. It does exactly what I need it do and nothing else. I also had a frustrating thought. Up until Beem, I was using Cloud, which also was a good product. It was f…

What I've learned from multiple startup weekend and service design "bootcamps", is that understanding and using the process is the most valuable thing you can get out of your time.…

Think this is a fantastic idea and very useful to a lot of people. I used to work with the hemophiliac community and this (like many other communities) is exactly what they need. I…
