Years ago when my wife and I we were planning to buy our home, my dad stunned me with a quick mental calculation of loan payments. I asked him how - he said he'd learned the strange formula for compound interest from his father, who was a merchant in 19th century Iran.

Provocative argument: Google Scholar (and its citation indexing predecessors) is the cause of the great stagnation in breakthrough innovation. By rewarding citation count, science has unknowingly shifted its emphasis from novelty to incremental work. nber.org/system/files/workin…

The replies in this thread are disappointing. Paper prototyping: 1) is fast & fluid 2) allows u to sketch at speed of thought 3) is not restrained by limits or demands of a digital tool 4) elicits conversation in feedback 5) doesn’t hijack user’s brain like digital does.

Sad to hear today of the death of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. He contributed so much through his research on creativity, which helped me decide to do a PhD, happiness, his concept of flow - which guides me daily - and more.
Amazing advice, received today:
When dining at a restaurant, order whatever the fattest person at the table orders. It is invariably delicious.

A lot of smart observations in replies.
I think the lesson from Apple is not to forgo user research, but rather to focus on thinking HARD about what you see from users rather than taking it at face value.

Nice does not equal weak. I hate the double standards that get created! How about we pour our efforts into editing the culture and environment women are in, rather than edit the woman.
