But if you want a multipurpose robot that works alongside us in the human world performing many diverse tasks that a human would perform, being a humanoid might be quite useful. Jobs are designed for humans in many cases, so looking and moving like a human seems like a good thing.

a headache.

I'm a self taught designer. I learned color through imitation. Copy someone who is good, do that enough, and you'll start to get a feel for what works. Theory only goes so far with something as subjective as "what looks good together" though theory can point you down the right path.

Interesting that NYC isn't included but SF is.

The last "startup" that I saw an ad for in the Super Bowl was salesforce with an ad for Chatter. How did that work out for them?

I've been doing this for almost 15 years now. I definitely create new things, but I didn't start that way. And really, you should use conventional things for most problems that you come across. It takes a pretty unconventional problem to justify an unconventional solution.

Haha! Literally posted the same advice at the same time. I guess we're onto something ;)

This is going to seem overly simplistic, but... Practice!

1) Find designs that you love, copy them pixel for pixel

2) Start mixing and matching elements from different interfaces that you find.

3) You'll start to see repeated patterns, get good at connecting these patterns together into new interfaces.

4) After a while of this, you'll see that you don't need to do as much research and direct copying anymore.

5) Congrats! You are a junior designer, keep practicing :)

This is exactly what I was thinking about. Some way to tell a goal and the constraints to the computer and then have the computer run multivariate tests on generated UI's to optimize for the goal.

I "just" define it in sketch.

To be clear, I'm sure you didn't mean to put down the role of design in building a successful software product, but I do like to point out unintended microaggressions when I see them.

This, but for software UI/UX. Anyone want to put me out of a job?

How you instruct, Why you instruct, Where you instruct, and When you instruct are all equally as important as What you instruct the user to do.

Someone should build an insurance company for Teslas. Build it as a Tesla app connected to the log data. No need for creepy trackers, they're already built in ;)

It's an edge case of an edge case.

"Space X is in fierce competition with Blue Origin, the rocket business owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos - but when asked about the rivalry Mr Musk answered: 'Jeff who?'"

The Cambrian Explosion has been known for quite some time. This is a theory of HOW the Cambrian Explosion happened. One single mutation. Interesting ideas for sure!

How do you see users using the search bar?

But let's be serious here... WHO WEARS SOCKS TO BED?!

The game could pick up on a recoiled hand to trigger the virtual gun.

Try it really quickly. Hold your hand in front of you like you are holding a gun. recoil your hand. feels pretty cool, right?

Now, just imagine that the software is tracking your hand and the gun shoots whenever you intentionally recoil.

Zenefits definitely supports Contractor Payments, if you sign up, look for the "contractors" card to get started.

edit: to be clear, this is a separate product from payroll.

Self Driving Payroll will work perfectly in this case. If you don't offer Benefits, use Zenefits for onboarding and keeping track of your employee info (also free), and have self driving payroll take care of your payroll for free.

Yeah, I think it's a little confusing as well. But, basically if Zenefits manages all of your benefits, Self Driving Payroll will be your best bet. If you offer a benefit that Zenefits doesn't manage, you'll need to go Pro.

If you use Zenefits time tracking, Self Driving Payroll will automatically pay your hourly workers approved hours.

We're launching in all 50 states. Happy to have you on board!

Likely a typo. Probably meant "isn't" judging by the tone and context of the rest of the post.

How do you communicate with the rest of the world? Do you often make the mistake of setting a meeting up an hour off, and are you ever an hour off from other people's expectations?

We could turn this into an interesting side project. sign up with this stuff as a "profile" of sorts, then update your profile with anything news worthy. Charge for exposure to journalists.

Hired.com for it's hybrid staffing agency/collaboration with my recruiting team.

Greenhouse for it's process management and scheduling abilities.

This is one of those silly english things. Grey/Gray are both acceptable spellings.
