Seems similar to the Jevons paradox, as discussed here:

Just to add some actual cases, there was the $6.5 million settlement by Lowe’s Home Centers as well as a FedEx Ground case, where the idea of "1099ing an LLC" did not protect them.

"Recently, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and the Kansas Supreme Court both held that FedEx Ground had misclassified employees as independent contractors who were operating as business entities or subcontracted additional routes to other drivers."

On Galaxy S4, installed AppGyver Scanner and scanned the Kitchensink QR code. Just some things I noticed:

- Opened up and it was blank except for title and bottom tray. Content appeared into view after a few seconds of randomly tapping around.

- The content inside the left drawer is being sized incorrectly, it's illegibly small, the words are barely 0.5mm tall.

- There is sometimes a white blank space to the right of the title at the top, making it look like Supersonic Kitchens[ whiteness ]

- Navigating to transitions took me to a blank pane. Tapping there crashed the app

- Not a bug, but can't use swipe to toggle the Status bar/Tabs toggles, even though users may be used to being able to

- The Back button is decidedly non-native looking, the arrow is basically touching the word Back.

- Tapping Network crashed the app

Not sure what's going on.

The Graph TV for DS9 might accomplish a similar goal, just using a different ratings dataset (IMDB) and visualization.

I believe the AccessExclusive is only if you are setting to NOT NULL, such as "ALTER TABLE my_table ADD COLUMN my_col boolean NOT NULL DEFAULT false"

We were just down for 56 hours due to our 3rd party platform vendor applying that type of update.

AFAICT the only workaround is to do it in steps: set the DEFAULT, fill existing rows with the default, then apply the NOT NULL constraint (which will still lock it for a full table scan to check the validity of the constraint).

But keeping the same UX is harmful in this situation -- on SMS it's a common pattern to use text commands, but in the desktop context you'd never expect it (and the commands don't make sense).

I'll be happy when someone else writes an 'I'm leaving Google design because' rant other than Bowman's from 2009. That single post is probably pretty tired from all the constant traffic to it every time this meme comes up.

Nice. But definitely needs some designer love! Just the basics of C.A.R.P. would help a bunch: http://thinkvitamin.com/design/how-crap-is-your-site-design/

The fact that the file is HackersNews.jad instead of HackerNews.jad will lead to a lot of typos if people don't click the link (clicking it didn't work for me).

Why a Rubiks cube instead of an orange HN or something?

My Curve threw the Index 0 >= 0 error, I guess I'll have to "contact my mobile service provider to get my latest APN settings." Though I don't know why.

I've tried about a million, and have found Todoist.com and Workflowy.com to be the most aligned with how I manage to-dos.

They both allow hierarchal task lists like you want, and both have extremely clean interfaces.

Workflowy is particularly useful for focus, as it allows you to sort of "zoom in" on one task so you see only that task and its subtasks.

The "article posting and sharing website" space seems really really crowded, and the users coming from Twitter and Reddit may just be article-sharing-site-ed out. Perhaps focus on what makes you different (better) than the rest.
