Dem Chaos nah, weil dem Markt nicht gerecht,

As Alexiou demonstrates, she really began to doubt the virtue of the new housing and renewal projects after she met William Kirk, the headworker at Union Settlement House in East Harlem. Kirk and his colleagues were seeing an unprecedented influx of public housing in their neighborhood. Huge slum clearance projects were displacing long-term residents and businesses, while new residents struggled to adapt to life in the austere modernist towers. She joined the Union Settlement Board and–although Alexiou does not mention it–contributed to the East Harlemites’ seminal (although largely forgotten) efforts to reform public housing design. Later, in Death and Life, she would credit Kirk with “the basic idea” that drove her book, that of “understanding the intricate social and economic order under the seeming disorder of cities.”

This means generative and exploratory user research, ideation and concept generation, scenario writing and roadmap planning. The impact of those strategic endeavors will not be limited to product and service design, but should be felt across business development, corporate development,

hook entirely. It’s his company: the buck stops with him. And he did the IPO no favors at all. First, he insisted on an unprecedented level of individual control over a $100 billion public company; institutional investors never like that. And secondly, he clearly viewed Wall Street and its investors with thinly-disguised contempt, slouching into IPO meetings — when he bothered to turn up at all — in his hoodie, and signally failing to provide the outward-facing leadership that investors crave. Zuckerberg’s refusal to play the Wall Street game is admirable

Tributary

Tributary started with the idea of making responsive code easier to share. We started with Gabriel Florit's implementation of Bret Victor's talk. The use of gists to drive the code in the view comes from Mike Bostock's bl.ocks.org. Tributary works by evaluating your code, providing a few things such as an svg element and a few libraries for the code to use.

hronized between Dropbox software clients, they also provide features to share files with third-party who don’t have a Dropbox account. How? By creating “links” to those files. It’s easy: In your Dropbox folder, select a file, right click and select “Dropbox -> Get Link“. Your direct URL will look like this: “http://www.dropbox.com/s/wg0ih0qywujn77y/myfile.zip“. Then, share the URL with your peers who just have to point their browser to it to access your file. Easy!

I am not aware of how patches are communicated from the lieutenants to Linus. Certainly, one way to state with a fairly high level of certainty that the patch is coming from one of his “lieutenants” is to e-mail the patches, signed with their respective GPG/PGP keys. At that point, the web of trust is enforced by the signature. Linus is then sure that his private repository (which he does his best to secure,
