But it's not like people can't be this, without much mental overhead. If I know it takes two days to ship something, and I use it daily, and recognize I'll be out in three days - I'm gonna push that button.
It's frictionless because it integrates perfectly with the use of the product.
How long before automatic cat-feeders automatically purchase cat food for you?
But wait, how do you handle nudists?
Because it's a tangible reminder that you need to buy new X and it removes all the barriers entirely to that. It's wildly convenient.
Might I remind you:
- Locate mobile device
- Swipe/Unlock mobile device
- Locate Safari App/Amazon app
- Tap and wait for Safari to load
- Access amazon.com
- Type in 'X'
- Locate results and click on option
- Press 'one click purchase' for irony
vs.
- Press a button.
There's probably not 120 people, and 100 houses. I think it's 500 people and 100 houses. Higher rent has driven a lot of people out who would have preferred to stay but couldn't because of the price.
Rent control is the only thing keeping some of them here.

You'll need to find people at your skill level to go against and this presents a barrier for a lot of us at step one.
I'd love to see a more natural, bite-sizable, exposure to other programming languages and/or paradigms in this way.
This sounds presumptuous. Couldn't there be thousands of neural networks which all receive an input signal, and we know how to interpret the output of all of these, as a signal. Maybe the neural networks themselves are all only 10 layers deep, but if they're all running in parallel - this defeats this point, right?
I don't really know anything about it, though.
The movement of the bubbles doesn't seem to convey any useful information, it's just added flare. I'd get rid of it. (you might enjoy some classic books by Edward Tufte too)
The placement of the bubbles seems to be completely random. You can use your space more wisely.
You are trying to represent growing trends with this visualization, perhaps some sort of component should go into representing that. Maybe you can represent that in your x and y plane somehow?
You're viz looks blurry on retina screens. You can fix this by setting the width attribute of your canvas element to twice what you want it to be, and adding a css style width at what you want the width to actually be.
Edit: I just read the text describing what velocity actually does, nvm, I'm dumb.
That's a profound question for me.
Also makes me think that they can dump the whole charade and provide no security check at all, but that'd probably make the service-providers uncomfortable and they lose the user as a source of human-intelligence for classifying things on google image searches.
I would just want to send a playlist of three items out asynchronously to my friends, so they can listen whenever they want.
When you want to talk to somebody without interrupting them, it's ideal. I might also suggest more 'got a sec?' type messages to get more of the swifter voice conversations.
That and sometimes we engineers prefer to build our sentences rather than blurt them.
One of the biggest things I'm thinking about is determining the adaptive algorithm that places you on different portions of the learning experience.
My current strategy is to compose a concept map of all the basic concepts and then devise a proficiency metric on each concept, which might be some aggregate of [correct on first attempt + time to completion + learner history] or whatever else I think of. Then you progress through the content by traversing this graph (with a fair degree of stochastic nature so to keep things moving). I'm hoping collected data can then be used to devise a new concept graph - something of a dependency graph whose density might ultimately reflect an element interactivity [1].
For example, function use might be considered a singular concept, while a function which returns a function might be another concept. The latter is a bit more exotic to newcomers and you can use the metrics determined by the former to gauge a pace to give the learner, but it's a foundational concept which most concepts in functional programming depend on and it might not be fair to consider it a single concept in the learning process until the schema is well-established.
Ideally, within a few questions answered you get pushed up to a state where you're actually learning something, no matter what your proficiency.

Hold on, let me (get in my car/wait for the bus/walk a few miles/order it with my phone, take a nap, and wake up with it at my door).
Nice.
