+1 for Monosnap. Best UX in this category. Their arrows are very visually pleasant, guiding viewers' eyes to where you want them to look. No other software seems to have this type of arrows.

This is giving wayyyy too much credit to a sub-reddit that's all about poking fun at the trading game, and each others. Please don't throw your money away following them.

a technically well-versed audience like this HN crowd is not really the customer base for computer equipment from Costco. In keeping with their product offering approach, Costco is catering to the people too busy and/or don't find it fun to evaluate computer equipments. What their customers know is that what Costco offers is good enough and pretty good value. The liberal return policy helps ease customer concerns about making equipments work. Looks to me like Costco is doing it pretty much right.

Their point is that you don't need to pay/donate money, only using their product for something you need anyway, ie. search, and generate funding for planting trees.

Outstanding post. Author might find it interesting to partner up with game designers on visually representing massive amount of data for quick grok by the masses.

I'm with the majority of the comments here. It seems an expensive way to run your business. Initial cost is usually a small part of the overall TCO. This post was written in 2017, any updates on their experience with this infrastructure? Prove us doubters wrong.

I get the impression that this study is flawed. The conclusion could have been something like, intelligent people dumbed down their speech when talking to someone they perceived as intellectually inferior to them. I'd like to see the same study repeats with white conservatives intellectuals and rednecks. That'd probably ended up with the same conclusion.

Well-written product announcement! clear explanation of "bad news" for a lot of users, but encouraging for target customers. I hope when I grow up I too can write something like this. :)

Am I the only one here that still makes my kids look up words in dictionary? We have all the e-devices but I think there's something worthwhile about re-enforcing alphabet order in words, learning by wandering or happens upon words nearby in paper dictionary. The kids also have to sound out the words to try to find it so they learn different word-sound patterns. All this skills are practiced each time they do a quick dictionary lookup.

what tool/service are you using for your Community Forum site? It looks very well-designed.

It's not clear from the article if this cost figure includes software engineering cost which would be significant in Tesla's case.

User docs are customer-facing, and therefore entirely fitting to be under marketing. Of course building the documents requires engineering contribution for technical details.

I think you meant Dana St. Coffee.

Stride looks first-rate. Hopefully opening up APIs will bring integration on-par with Slack. What's the plan for bringing Stride to self-hosted options?

this book also have a forum for it, albeit low traffic. http://forum.thejsway.com/

is there an accompany forum for learners of this book to discuss content and exercises like Coursera, et al.?

feature request: add discussion page for project discussion, getting help, suggestions, etc.

I'm going to stick with Excel for the row/column grouping feature. This seemingly minor feature enables multiple level of abstractions so different audiences can understand the spreadsheet in different views. As much as I want to move my team to Google Sheet or any other major competitors for easy collaboration, I simply can't.

how old is your son? if he's around 6 year-old, he's a god to me! :)

search seems to need a lot more works. Typeahead would be nice but partial match is sorely needed, eg. bus should bring up links on business and bus schedule.

Feature request: Jira integration (atlassian marketplace)

this is fairly trivial to implement conceptually in Ethereum. What's hard is to integrate that system with existing legal and social framework.

well done! some suggestions:

* +1 for symbols & numbers * maybe use spacebar for abort word(?) * would be cool to include phrases (boss mode ?)

it's plausible that gov't can become addicted to vice taxes. However, on the cig. tax, there is no evidence of that this is the norm. In fact, in both US and Canada, smoking rate has gone down significantly so something is working and therefore, we shouldn't be too concern with this gov't addiction red herring.

I'm Asian and I don't think it's possible. Jews on the other hand are confirmed with the most Nobel prizes per capita. :)

cool concept. Put handle on it like a scooter and my Mom got a new way to get around. Oh wait, clearly, I wasn't thinking big enough. Add self-steering with collision avoidance on this deck and now you can stare at your phone the entire way from the train to the office. Google, are you listening?

hopefully, Mac deployment upticks will finally convince MS to bring Mac Office to parity with Win Office.

you seems like a great manager! everything you said makes sense, except for "Never, ever fire anyone...". Really? what about those who are highly paid but very disruptive to the team, ie. destructive to both budget and team outputs? And can't be move to different areas. Surely that would be the exception to your rule?

We have OneDrive but I'm not aware of anybody in our large company using it. Instead our team spend extra money on Dropbox, and Box. OneDrive is clunky, hard to use. It does not even integrate well with Office365, let alone other apps. In terms of UX, OneDrive is a disaster.

Google Drive has a fatal flaw that kills its enterprise growth: you have to register your primary domain, no sub-domains allowed. This is fine for start-ups, but in enterprise, if one team sign up for Google Drive, no other teams can sign up separately! In a large company, it's next to impossible for our team to find that original team to pair up for Google services, if they're willing to share the services at all, budget issues and all that.
