Decades ago, a man had a large grand piano moved into his condo. It had to ride on top of the elevator. Recently, he moved out of that unit and found that the city building codes no longer allow this.
Then a bunch of complicated drama happened with the former condo owner, the condo management, and a piano moving company, and it all turned into a lawsuit.
I think so. Consider that Marcus was one of the owners of the building for many years. Why didn't he tell them about a freight elevator if that was an option?
In Chicago, this was still done as recently as six years ago. When I moved into a tall residential building, my move had to be scheduled with an hour window in the middle so someone could move a piano up to a high floor. They wouldn't allow the piano to ride on top of the elevator and my stuff inside the elevator at the same time.
They could have had little go pros tacked up all over the hallway and pulled video and frames that would have put together a better account. (Not that it would help them sell more ads etc but the presentation to your point isn't that good given what it could be).
It's probably tailored for the NYT app.
The Times is one of the few real journalism sources willing to try new things. When they do, the HN crowd says The Times crap. When they don't, the HN crowd says The Times a relic and should die.
I'm a subscriber, and happy that it's at least trying. Some of the visualizations and AR stories are remarkable.
I'm not sure how well it'd worked on a portrait display!
I'll poke around and see if NYT is now usable with JS disabled.
It's a feature, not a bug.
If I wrote an article with the headline "The Miracle of building a chair in Hawaii", and then described the normal process of building a chair which is location agnostic, wouldn't you bewildered as to why I included "Hawaii" in the headline?
I understand that they are based in NYC, I just don't understand why that's relevant enough to be in the headline. "The miracle of moving a piano" would've done just fine.
For once, their rubbish UI is justified.
I unboxed a foam king mattress at my new house once it was in the bedroom. It is literally impossible to get it out of that room without destroying it or I guess putting a hole in the outer wall.
I don't know about you, but I like it when my movers protect my stuff and the walls.
What if every book you buy is one of those origami popup castles that explode upon opening a book? That would get pretty frustrating to read and understand the book. What if some pages move and shuffle unpreditably? What if it autoplays music without user invoking anything? That's essentially what you're doing with websites.
What are they teaching in Design universities these days?
