Making sense of the most confusing new iPhone lineup ever
Harry McCracken bij Fast Company: For all their similarities, the new phones don’t line up into a digestible good/better/best matrix. The cheapest model, the $749 XR, is the midrange model in terms of size and has a nifty twist—six different color options to choose from—which is unavailable on the XS and XS Max. But if […]
Hoe de podcasts van De Standaard 350.000 keer werden beluisterd
Interessant interview van Yorick Dupon (zonder T) bij Tandem Tech met Wouter Van Driessche, chef audio en video bij De Standaard: Video, tekst, foto en alle dingen die we als printmedia al even doen, die concurreren om dezelfde twee schaarse middelen: uw ogen.

The paradox states that if a society is tolerant without limit, their ability to be tolerant will eventually be seized or destroyed by the intolerant. Popper came to the seemingly paradoxical conclusion that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the […]

Alweer een steengoede aflevering.
How to Run 13 Design Sprints at Once: Inside Maker Week at The New York Times
Ik hou van hackathons opzetten en begeleiden en dan is het heel interessant om te zien hoe een megabedrijf als The New York Times dat aanpakt: First of all, because the hackathon projects were all new or speculative, there wasn’t a lot of background knowledge to share or politics to work out. Part of what […]
