a lot of people mentioning "thing," and it's simply not used that way. That said, "ting" of Jamaican Patois origin would be appropriate.

What do you consider scrolljacking? I opened the breakfast article and saw some scrolljacking right away.
Is my understanding mistaken here?

my original post wasn't clear.
what I meant was one farm generally wouldn't have a crop that yields "great" produce that tastes great while simultaneously having produce that is:
> plasticky, perfect-looking, and utterly tasteless.
these would generally come from completely different crops and farms.
I understand that produce is graded by physical appearance but that produce of varying condition from the same crop would pretty much taste the same, which leads to the whole discussion about ugly produce.

it sounds like the poorer quality produce you're describing is just coming from lower quality farms?
I have no clue how the supply chain works, but I don't think produce from the same source is separated by the quality you're describing.

This reminds me vaguely of when a provider automatically unsubscribes users from newsletters they don't read.
Does anyone remember which company this is? Twitch?

which restaurant? I've seen a few food court spots go cashless, but nothing about downloading an app.

Shopify has been piloting the app with retailers that have the same target market as Restocks (YC W16).
The first pilot was with Kith in October sometime and now they're definitely doing some Black Friday stuff and are launching Yeezys for Off the Hook today.

> But it also was pretty awesome to have an almost latency-free experience (and good information design, making efficient use of my screen).
It's funny. I think most people would agree that the experience you described isn't diametrically opposed to 'good design,' and in fact have the same goals.
But, it seems like the modern conception of 'good design' has effectively been reduced to pretty things and interface design. Even if designers wouldn't say that if you asked.

So much FastCo Google coverage feels like astroturfing.

> I don't think google gets design.
I agree. That said, I think they're very early in infusing design with their culture. I would even argue pre-'design' @ Google, they were still very user centered, but in different ways.

Yep. Every keynote.
Usually some people will post source links which should be streamable from non-mac machines.
>“practice of professional engineering” means any act of planning, designing, composing, evaluating, advising, reporting, directing or supervising that requires the application of engineering principles and concerns the safeguarding of life, health, property, economic interests, the public welfare or the environment, or the managing of any such act; (“exercice de la profession d’ingénieur”)
In principle, there's certainly a good justification for the protection of the title, but the reality is much different. There's probably a case for regulators to actually figure out what meaningful licensure would mean for Software Engineers or companies but that'll never happen. There was a time where I thought 'Software Engineer' was a relatively uncommon title due to this case, but it appears Ontario employers have become much more lax about this.
And while the PEO hasn't gone after individual engineers, Alberta's regulator has taken up the case, for some reason: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/technology/article-...
