There's a lot to like in this, but the intro is gimmicky. "Why are diamonds more expensive than water?" is a classic question for super early economics lessons, but not really appr…

It's a commonly suggested thought from people that like both companies. In a happy-go-lucky sort of way it is a fun thought experiment, but I've never heard anyone seriously sugges…

This is purely anecdotal: every time I have lost one card I have lost all of my cards (because it's when I lose my wallet or the bag my wallet is in). In this case I'd be able to g…

>() The obvious issue of losing Coin and losing everything. People like backups. It's a mindset. I fail to see how Coin is a lack of backups. If having two copies of a card isn't '…

I don't understand what this is linking to. Why not link directly to the WSJ?

There are no social requirements in the app—you can use it to get your record from multiple doctors and never add any friends in Prime. The target market of the app is people who h…

We're fully HIPAA-compliant, as Tyler mentioned in another comment. Data is encrypted, and isn't stored on the device. HIPAA (and specifically MU Stage 2) is actually more helpful …

My memories of the iPad 1 might be hazy—though I had friends in education that purchased them well after the iPad 2 was available. Perhaps they were getting bulk orders of refurbis…

IIRC it was not legal to install on multiple machines (perhaps it was legal for multiple personal machines?).

Apple has continued sales of old devices to corporate/educational buyers without making them publicly available in the past. The eMac and original iPad were both available to educa…

Good news: loaded in ~2 seconds. Bad news: interface seems to not work at all. (I'm using iPad 2, with iOS 7.0.2)

Makes sense, thanks. I use iTunes Match and have quite a bit of music on my computer and my phone, so it doesn't often occur to me to listen on my iPad. However, when I do, I exclu…

Took the first code, am excited to try it out. Why go iPad first?

I didn't really connect with this piece until the end. >Remind yourself, that you are not that thing. This will help you to see the other person’s point of view, instead of lashing…

PSD > PDF is easier than DOC > PDF.

Perhaps deactivate Pressy if the phone is locked? Does that kill all useful actions?

It's probably closer to whiteboard coding than relevant work. Designers need support and can't work in a vacuum. Without a deep understanding of the specific requirements designers…

> a) I've found that lots of design applicants will put stuff in their portfolio that they contributed to, rather than built end-to-end. This solves that problem. Effective designe…

Perhaps I'm missing something, but I am interested in what behavior you expect from the app vs the behavior you are observing. (I've used iBart a few times, but not in a few months…

> I can certainly see that. Do you count "main body text" as 'content' in your designs? I make an effort to never use placeholder text that doesn't at least closely resemble the re…

I can't speak for every designer, and it is possible that the shift is entirely a visual trend based on rebelling from the past trends. My justification for keeping the interface l…

There is plenty of criticism of San Francisco coming from people inside, and outside, of the startup/tech scene. His post was misogynistic and hypocritical, which encouraged the pi…

I'm not sure this is fair—doesn't the author admit that the value of the good is based on scarcity? That it became valuable when it could be shipped to places that didn't have two …

I'm curious to learn more about the decision to keep it invite only. I can only provide personal insight, but I lost interest as soon as there was a link I wanted to comment on and…
