This is neat, but when I looked for some specific filming locations (as opposed to a city-level listing), I didn't find much. Obviously, creating a precise filming location database is an order-of-magnitude harder problem to solve.

Many years ago, I remember a guy coming to an in-person interview wearing a pair of Google Glass glasses. Everyone on the engineering team found it off-putting and disconcerting. I explicitly asked him to remove them before we started.

Needless to say, he was not hired.

Just finished Ken Kocienda's "Creative Selection: Inside Apple's Design Process During the Golden Age of Steve Jobs".

It was interesting to read about the various decisions made along the way to the first iPhone launch and remember the real-time launch back then. Even though the first phone had limitations, they were able to do enough things "right" that you could feel the paradigm shift within a few minutes of using it. Coming from a mobile software company at the time (and having access to all the top phones of the time, various Blackerry devices, Moto Razr, etc) it was easy to see that Apple had really made something extraordinary with its software.

Thanks for sharing your work. I'm not sure I have a particular use for it at the moment, but it's well executed.

One point of (hopefully) constructive feedback is that it wasn't obvious from my first interaction with the temporary doc that I was able to create checklists and bullet points. Once I saw that those are possible, I quickly guessed the keystrokes, but it might be helpful to add some graphical guidance.

There are major cultural differences between these schools that the article doesn't touch upon. Having presented business/product ideas to classmates & colleagues at both schools, here's a gross simplification of responses I've experienced:

Me: I have an idea for "foo"

MIT reply: "Here's a list of 10 reasons why that won't work"

Stanford reply: "That's neat, and here's 10 reasons you should work on it"

One might see the Stanford response as unrealistic or patronizing, but one of these creates a culture of positive ideation (and hustle-culture startups) while the other leads to a lot of discouraged entrepreneurs.

I'm so glad some folks found this a worthwhile post and also thanks for sharing your story. It seems that these caterpillars just eat/grow/molt ceaselessly until it's time to spin a cocoon!

These single-subject, old school design websites make me nostalgic for the early web.

p.s. Coming across this site made me want to build an entire grade-school curriculum based on "silk". There's so many subjects to cover, including: Biology (worm lifecycle, climate) History (trade, Silk Road) Chemistry (why silk is so strong) Arts (what can be made of silk, production process)

The rest of the site is also pretty interesting and includes photos of various silkworm species at different stages of development.
