Philosophy of the day: requirements may have suggestions, suggestions always have requirements.

Due to inflation, what used to get you 15 minutes of fame will now only afford you 15 seconds.

What will it take to unite the world in harmony? If a world war, or a global pandemic can't be enough to motivate humans to work together toward a utopia, I don't want to imagine the real horror if the clock strikes midnight.

The perfect price is exactly three times the cost of manufacturing.
1/3 the cost of the object, 1/3 to build its replacement, 1/3 for profit.

Missed opportunity to fill the stadium and have the fans watch the Super Bowl on all the big screens.

Methinks that the Zuck needs to stop reading Snowcrash.

The benefits of careful considerations now will reduce the scope of impact if hindsight proves missteps were made.

[Nathaniel Abernathy @nabernathy]

Make a plan. A bad plan is a better start than having no plan.

[Nathaniel Abernathy @nabernathy]

Do not look to the past to give answers about the future for it can only give answers to the questions that have already been asked.

I enjoy the Olympics.

I am not a fan of being restricted from watching it by terrible television programming or having to have have a particular subscription.

For an event that gives us a chance to enjoy the competition why are we still locked out by capitalism.

Loki. Anyone else expect Ultimecia to be in that castle?

I really don't give a shit that Bezos was in almost space. Next time eject him while he's there. Use his money to improve the world.

Good example of the Uncertainty Principle by watching lightning bugs. You can know where they are (position), but not where they are going (vector).

So they're bringing back the N-Gage?

[Nathaniel Abernathy @nabernathy]

90s lo-fi games were limited by tech, so relied on a richer depth in other places to make it a great game.

Today, games lack some of that depth because of hi-fi takes up most of the resources.

Liken it to a plain looking nerd vs a chiseled airhead.

@reduzio Or just buck the trend and keep it the same.

What is the point of hiring people to do a job because they are experts and bring solutions, but none of the decision makers listen to their experts? They hold the funds over your head to get their way, but aren't willing to pay for the best solutions when it comes down to it.

[Nathaniel Abernathy @nabernathy]

When questions of fixing society are asked, the usual answer is "how will we pay for it?". Simple answer is, we don't. We just do it and deal with it later. Are we worse off if the world has healthcare, shelter, food, decency? Besides who is going to collect?

Pinterest has an insidious UX. When browsing, the "pins" have static images. But the ads are mostly video clips. Users notice them first and they hesitate and "view" the ad. Being distracted, you could miss pins, or have to retread and waste time. #designprobs #uxdesign
