  • It’s not that Apple makes amazing stuff, it’s that other companies really put out barely shiny turds.

    Look at the zune, the tech was fine, or so I have heard, but it looked like an ugly brick. Seriously, a regular red brick looks better, even a yellow brick does.

    I have a Subaru, and while I love it, the infotainment system is garbage. Clearly there was no effort to make it look good and usable.

    UX is hugely undervalued, I wonder if one of the reasons is because you don’t notice good UX, it’s not in the way, but you noticed bad UX. So good UX without a lot of marketing is invisible.




  • This is not redneck engineering, it’s how evening is attached to walls in the US as far as I can see. An ugly hole in drywall, and cover the rough edges with trim. I’m not sure what else you are looking for.

    Something outside the wall could use minimal wood working and nails or command strips.










  • Nice rant. I was born and raised in a “third world country” with better transportation than the US despite much lower density. In fact it would rank just under Oregon, so 39 stated are more dense than my country.

    California does not have good public transportation, neither does a lot of the East Coast, for that matter. I have lived on both coasts and the Midwest, and visited over 35 states. Public transportation is mostly crap with a few exceptions in the core of a few Metro areas, and the NE.

    Public transportation advocates want more than to add buses and trains, you are misrepresenting what we ask for.
