This is kinda bullshit. He’s basing everything in his “analysis” on having a “hit.” There are many working musicians who sell seats and make a good living, and many stars who have toured their way to success without ever having a Billboard hit.


I went so far as to buy the Carrot premium version which allows you to get pretty close to the DS app with some settings. I don't mind paying for good design. The Apple weather app is laughingly antithetical to usual Apple design standards. Somewhere, Steve is not amused.


“ Ridiculing people on the internet is also a really easy way to get a lot of engagement.”

That’s what you’re doing.


Not really.

The people he is talking about are holding themselves out as authorities on what makes a billion dollar company succeed or fail, despite their never having been there. Musk has multiple huge companies that he built from the ground up.

The people talking out their ass riducule themselves. This guy is just pointing that fact out.


Dark Sky gave me a fast look at what I needed to know. The new Apple weather app is overloaded, too busy, and not particularly great to use. Steve is not amused.


Seriously, this guy needs to take the Trump flags off the back of his truck before making what might otherwise be legit arguments: plastic is bad, recycling tech at present is poor, maybe even a bust. BUT, so were other technologies at first. It's a problem that needs solving, and at least recycling keeps some awareness of a problem that needs bright people, not another angry conservative blowhard to just say, "ah, fuck it."


Totally misleading headline


Wait. That logo seal doesn’t even have the circular text aligned properly. It looks like someone is still trying to master “type on a path” in Illustrator. C’mon, man!


I’ve had people hastily publish (and print on merchandise!) my draft/concept graphics on two occasions. I’ve learned to deliberately deteriorate them now before sharing.


That's a good idea, actually. Maybe at work we too should start delivering POCs to customers with large red blinking banners attached, so they don't mistakenly get the idea that it's a finished product.


the different seals on the page aren't aligned either http://telnet.asia/nim.gif


I'd guess they haven't updated the old one (larger UFO) with the new one (correct distance between 4-engine jet wing and red arrow cutout, better lettering work)...


The arrows are not aligned properly and the spy plane is askew.

I assume it’s because the actual patch has nowhere that precision so they don’t care if it’s pixel perfect.


Which part? All looks circular to me.


Look at "intelligence" on the right of the seal. It veers to the right side of the band it's in as the curve is not tight enough to match the circle. Really amateur stuff.


Looks like they fixed it (might be off slightly still but hard to tell with an astigmatism:/) and flattened the two stars


Looks like there are two pictures. One has the unaligned text and the other doesn't.


Link those two images please? (And why would you make a comment like that without actually linking which images you're talking about?)

edit: I think this is the one that is aligned: https://www.airdomainintelligence.mil/portals/91/web_banner_...

And this is the one this isn't: https://www.airdomainintelligence.mil/portals/91/Seal22_png....

In the second image, the first and last letters of the text "office of the director of intelligence" are farther away from the center than the letters in the middle, suggesting they haven't been placed on a circular path correctly.

These images are also different in how they render the UFO, and how they render the landscape underneath (the first one has the land in blue and the ocean in white, while the second one has the colors reversed).



I just save everything in Pocket with tags


I save everything in Pocket and never read it, ever. It's worth it if only to kill the tab anxiety.


Started doing this with Raindrop recently. My 180+ open tabs in Firefox started giving me anxiety. After purging some and adding some to Raindrop, I'm now down to 120
