how do you pronounce STA HP wow that's a word yesterday as well not really but
[TS]
00:00:06
◼
►
it's what the kids say when they really want you to stop doing some visits tap I
[TS]
00:00:10
◼
►
guess tap I don't know what might that I don't know I'm gonna go with staff like
[TS]
00:00:16
◼
►
maybe maybe like the the Great Lakes accent staff yes because that's what
[TS]
00:00:21
◼
►
this podcast needs is more talk about regional accents yes definitely I
[TS]
00:00:26
◼
►
actually got called out of work today in a happy way some co-worker asked me a
[TS]
00:00:32
◼
►
coworker that I just started working life asked me if I was from Jersey well
[TS]
00:00:35
◼
►
that part wasn't happy at all that was miserable but but point being I said
[TS]
00:00:40
◼
►
mash on something as until like it emphatically or repeatedly and
[TS]
00:00:45
◼
►
apparently that's a northeastern thing or so I'm told
[TS]
00:00:48
◼
►
well that's a drink in Great Britain smoke sure whatever that was squash that
[TS]
00:00:53
◼
►
you're thinking of squash so so Def's when she heard that she said it's
[TS]
00:01:01
◼
►
probably like getting like frozen fruit concentrate here if the fruit juice
[TS]
00:01:04
◼
►
concentrate I think that's correct from the most I can piece together but as we
[TS]
00:01:09
◼
►
talked about on the last episode of analog I emergency I sent an emergency
[TS]
00:01:14
◼
►
tax to underscore David Smith the internets arbiter of all things UK vs
[TS]
00:01:19
◼
►
American and also the internets historian and he indicated to me that we
[TS]
00:01:25
◼
►
do not have anything that's really equipment to squash but we have things
[TS]
00:01:29
◼
►
that have that name but it's different like football but we have that but
[TS]
00:01:32
◼
►
that's not what you think it is it's either football or vegetable yeah
[TS]
00:01:38
◼
►
so anyway I was asking you what's going on with cellular downloads on overcast
[TS]
00:01:43
◼
►
and in this is ok because I see in the show notes it says pre follow-up market
[TS]
00:01:48
◼
►
stocks I do not type at this time I don't know who did clearly it was John
[TS]
00:01:53
◼
►
just keep adding sections but about pre preval will get there maybe next episode
[TS]
00:01:58
◼
►
what happens if the pre follow-up generates follow-up next episode where
[TS]
00:02:03
◼
►
do we put it then they get sucked into regular follow it as yet brief follow-up
[TS]
00:02:07
◼
►
follow-up I don't think so he's getting recursive no I was asking you what's
[TS]
00:02:14
◼
►
going on with your downloads an overcast because he seemed to be stressing out
[TS]
00:02:17
◼
►
about it quite a bit
[TS]
00:02:18
◼
►
well it's you know if this is a constant battle I have with designing overcast is
[TS]
00:02:24
◼
►
like how to strike the balance between offering settings for customization vs
[TS]
00:02:32
◼
►
complexity of the app because if you look like so many well featured
[TS]
00:02:37
◼
►
well-regarded podcast apps have just these massive setting screens and it's
[TS]
00:02:42
◼
►
not because they're badly designed by idiots it's because it's a hard problem
[TS]
00:02:47
◼
►
and when you make a podcast app everybody asked for all these features
[TS]
00:02:50
◼
►
and it's really hard to please a large number of people without adding a ton of
[TS]
00:02:55
◼
►
options and customizations and features I have always tried to differentiate
[TS]
00:03:00
◼
►
overcast from the other well-established compliance by being simpler in those
[TS]
00:03:06
◼
►
regards its really really hard to keep that up to to manage that is like right
[TS]
00:03:10
◼
►
now I'm working on version 2.0 one of the big features of to point out there
[TS]
00:03:14
◼
►
willing to talk about is streaming I've been working and screaming for a long
[TS]
00:03:18
◼
►
time they mention on this show
[TS]
00:03:19
◼
►
couple times in various after shows it does finally work it is working I've
[TS]
00:03:24
◼
►
been using it myself for the last couple weeks ago we like it it works well it is
[TS]
00:03:30
◼
►
solid and it is awesome and to be clear it works with smart see course I
[TS]
00:03:35
◼
►
wouldn't do without it
[TS]
00:03:36
◼
►
that's what I thought just wanna make sure now I have to have to face the
[TS]
00:03:39
◼
►
other issues of having streaming in the app so there there are certain options
[TS]
00:03:44
◼
►
that it needs things like you know what do you do when a new episode comes into
[TS]
00:03:50
◼
►
market for streaming or do you
[TS]
00:03:51
◼
►
downloaded automatically there has to be some choice there has to be sure like
[TS]
00:03:57
◼
►
what do you do if you're playing a playlist and the episode ends and the
[TS]
00:04:01
◼
►
next episode is a streaming episode but you are offline what do you do no matter
[TS]
00:04:07
◼
►
what you pick your gonna gonna anger some people and you're gonna play some
[TS]
00:04:12
◼
►
people and it's really hard to know a lot of times ahead of time which one of
[TS]
00:04:16
◼
►
those sides come out ahead so it
[TS]
00:04:21
◼
►
the question I have now is should I permit cellular data usage for his right
[TS]
00:04:27
◼
►
now I have cellular downloads and so in a world where you at that you have mixed
[TS]
00:04:32
◼
►
streaming and downloads now you have to have a little more control over that so
[TS]
00:04:38
◼
►
it's it's questionable so no question that the thing that I agree on no
[TS]
00:04:44
◼
►
question is that cellular data not only will be allowed for streaming but it
[TS]
00:04:49
◼
►
will be allowed by default and will be on by default because in the world we
[TS]
00:04:53
◼
►
live in today I think people widely expect things to just work when you tap
[TS]
00:04:59
◼
►
them and lots of other media app stream by default over cellular and don't ask
[TS]
00:05:04
◼
►
you first things like YouTube or most of the streaming music services although I
[TS]
00:05:08
◼
►
think Apple music does not think they've they asked you first but anyway
[TS]
00:05:12
◼
►
almost all media streaming apps they will just do it if you if you say play
[TS]
00:05:17
◼
►
this video and you're on cellular in your phone it will just do it over
[TS]
00:05:21
◼
►
cellular animal and that's fine you know so no question streaming has to be there
[TS]
00:05:25
◼
►
and it has to be enabled by default over over cellular the problem is there are
[TS]
00:05:30
◼
►
lots of these tweets 20 everybody thinks that they have the most advanced world
[TS]
00:05:35
◼
►
view on this issue and so and of course I'm the stupid Americans I don't know
[TS]
00:05:40
◼
►
what the rest of the road is like so I have heard from about equal numbers
[TS]
00:05:45
◼
►
of people saying both in my country we have very bad data plans are you have to
[TS]
00:05:50
◼
►
have restrictions and the rest of the world works this way and therefore you
[TS]
00:05:54
◼
►
to have very strong restrictions and I've also heard from other people saying
[TS]
00:05:58
◼
►
well in my country everybody has unlimited data and that's that's the
[TS]
00:06:01
◼
►
world we live in now and so you don't need to even bother with this
[TS]
00:06:04
◼
►
I've heard both ends of a lot but right now I have to cellular options in the ad
[TS]
00:06:12
◼
►
and I wish I could get away with just one but right now I have to say that the
[TS]
00:06:16
◼
►
big one the main one is whether I allow background or foreground and whatever
[TS]
00:06:23
◼
►
when the app downloads full episodes ahead of time already getting
[TS]
00:06:26
◼
►
notification or whatever when it that would split the serbs do you down the
[TS]
00:06:29
◼
►
whole thing over cellular or dua for wifi so that is an option and I think
[TS]
00:06:33
◼
►
that option is good that that deserves to stick around because if you can
[TS]
00:06:38
◼
►
street and you say I play this right now has an action you're taking your
[TS]
00:06:42
◼
►
deliberately saying play this episode right now and I i recognizing them
[TS]
00:06:47
◼
►
playing a podcast while my phone on its own network this might use data
[TS]
00:06:51
◼
►
you know but if you background download things that just come in like you know
[TS]
00:06:55
◼
►
overnight somebody could blow their data cap if released by their favorite
[TS]
00:07:00
◼
►
podcast you know maybe to feed messes up and they'd release like 10 new episodes
[TS]
00:07:04
◼
►
accidentally in the phone downloads 10 things over cellular without them even
[TS]
00:07:06
◼
►
knowing initiating it so it makes sense to differentiate between automatic
[TS]
00:07:11
◼
►
background downloads using it and things that you initiate the user for playback
[TS]
00:07:15
◼
►
using it so that makes sense you should have an option to disable cellular on
[TS]
00:07:20
◼
►
background that's fine but then there's an iOS annoyance that I have its I
[TS]
00:07:27
◼
►
consider it a bug I'm not sure that Apple does for every app that you have
[TS]
00:07:32
◼
►
on your phone that uses data at all you can go into settings and you can turn
[TS]
00:07:36
◼
►
off cellular data usage for the appt at the at the iOS level so the app doesn't
[TS]
00:07:41
◼
►
have to have an option for that you can just go on the disabled and many people
[TS]
00:07:44
◼
►
do for unlimited plans who really need to watch they're they're so the problem
[TS]
00:07:50
◼
►
is in previous versions of iOS you've always had this this so-called reach
[TS]
00:07:55
◼
►
ability API it actually has a long CFO network whatever name but it's short and
[TS]
00:08:00
◼
►
everyone says the reachability API and this is the API the can notify you of
[TS]
00:08:04
◼
►
changes in Internet connectivity so that you can for instance your app can know
[TS]
00:08:09
◼
►
whether the connections offline and when it goes back online and you can also
[TS]
00:08:13
◼
►
tell whether it's online via cellular or wi-fi or neither
[TS]
00:08:16
◼
►
right so
[TS]
00:08:17
◼
►
you can make a whole bunch of intelligent decisions and it isn't
[TS]
00:08:19
◼
►
perfect sometimes it isn't that reliable but it's pretty close its pretty good
[TS]
00:08:22
◼
►
most the time in previous versions before iOS eight if somebody turned off
[TS]
00:08:28
◼
►
that cellular option for you in system settings so that they say this Afghan
[TS]
00:08:32
◼
►
you sold it anymore
[TS]
00:08:33
◼
►
your app would see when an API and I online the system would say no you're
[TS]
00:08:40
◼
►
offline so the app
[TS]
00:08:42
◼
►
couldn't help us which was on it just seemed like it was offline and so if the
[TS]
00:08:48
◼
►
app tried something it would show that our knowing dialog box that everyone has
[TS]
00:08:52
◼
►
seen that says cellular data is disabled for appname you you can enable it in
[TS]
00:08:57
◼
►
settings and there's no way for a nap to initiate a network connection that does
[TS]
00:09:03
◼
►
not show that box so there's no way that I can say like I'm gonna do a background
[TS]
00:09:07
◼
►
sync here if it fails the user doesn't even need to know doesn't matter it's
[TS]
00:09:11
◼
►
not it's not important or download some artwork for the show that's showing in
[TS]
00:09:15
◼
►
the stable cell if that fails it doesn't matter either just you know you don't
[TS]
00:09:18
◼
►
have to alert the user with a modal dialog box saying so they don't offer me
[TS]
00:09:22
◼
►
downloading artwork to show a table so doesn't matter that smart thing to do as
[TS]
00:09:27
◼
►
a developer in that case was too before you do something optional that the user
[TS]
00:09:32
◼
►
didn't really initiate you know something like a background check reach
[TS]
00:09:37
◼
►
ability and if it says it's offline don't even try and then that dialogue
[TS]
00:09:41
◼
►
will never show up because if you don't do that every time somebody goes to your
[TS]
00:09:45
◼
►
appetite for us to do background sync and they've disabled cell data for your
[TS]
00:09:49
◼
►
appt the connection bodily failed but also that box in Illinois the crap out
[TS]
00:09:52
◼
►
of them and so then they will write you saying why does your app keeps showing
[TS]
00:09:56
◼
►
this box if they don't know if it's a system box you have any control over so
[TS]
00:09:59
◼
►
that's that's bad anyway with iOS ate there is what I consider a bug which is
[TS]
00:10:05
◼
►
if someone has disabled cellular data for your app in iOS settings reach
[TS]
00:10:10
◼
►
ability API will tell you that you are online it will not say you're offline
[TS]
00:10:15
◼
►
anymore so that you have no way to tell whether you are online unrestricted or
[TS]
00:10:21
◼
►
whether you are online but was celebrated disabled and so
[TS]
00:10:25
◼
►
you can't avoid making those requests and you also still can't make a request
[TS]
00:10:31
◼
►
that's marked as some kind of option also doesn't get a dialog box so
[TS]
00:10:35
◼
►
therefore if someone disables that for your appt and you try to make connection
[TS]
00:10:40
◼
►
it will shut up box every time or at least like you know once every 10
[TS]
00:10:43
◼
►
minutes or whatever the intent of throwing on citizenship and constantly
[TS]
00:10:46
◼
►
but it still shows them enough that it annoys people in the email so in order
[TS]
00:10:50
◼
►
to the 22 work around this slightly I I had to add the second option called sync
[TS]
00:10:57
◼
►
over cellular that's it picky details
[TS]
00:11:00
◼
►
settings level is very very other options and the reason why this is there
[TS]
00:11:05
◼
►
is not to let people save data because it doesn't say that Makita its to let
[TS]
00:11:09
◼
►
people avoid that dialog box if they disabled cell data from my whole apt
[TS]
00:11:13
◼
►
because it with that if you trigger that option then I won't even attempt to make
[TS]
00:11:18
◼
►
those connections over cellular because again I can't distinguish between
[TS]
00:11:21
◼
►
cellular the time allowed to use and so and so they're not allowed these so that
[TS]
00:11:26
◼
►
setting that's what that whole thing is for it to work around this giant bug in
[TS]
00:11:30
◼
►
iOS aid that i think is still there in nineteen you know how to do some tests
[TS]
00:11:35
◼
►
maybe I really hoping I fixed it but I don't think it did but I'll double check
[TS]
00:11:38
◼
►
before next weekend before next week's show and report back because if if that
[TS]
00:11:45
◼
►
fixes I can remove option and that that we also anyway for the look very long
[TS]
00:11:50
◼
►
winded thing here anyway so now faced with the question of of adding streaming
[TS]
00:11:57
◼
►
to dissident and having spent of solar controller streaming do I have 3
[TS]
00:12:01
◼
►
cellular data options that's terrible I have to give me a whole separate screen
[TS]
00:12:07
◼
►
for them and explain its I mean I will if I have to but that sounds terrible or
[TS]
00:12:12
◼
►
my best idea so far is to keep the two options I have now and just attack
[TS]
00:12:18
◼
►
streaming to the second one so that the background download still separately
[TS]
00:12:22
◼
►
controllable is that something I can see somebody wanting to do background
[TS]
00:12:26
◼
►
download only when their MiFi but be willing to stream wherever they are they
[TS]
00:12:30
◼
►
actually asked for it the second option rather than calling it sink over
[TS]
00:12:34
◼
►
cellular rename it to stream and sync over cellular
[TS]
00:12:39
◼
►
that makes sense that this is very long very boring this is that although that
[TS]
00:12:43
◼
►
does make sense I would probably agree with you that think over cellular could
[TS]
00:12:49
◼
►
becomes stream in sync over study where I know it's interesting because I have
[TS]
00:12:56
◼
►
an unlimited data plan from AT&T my iphone have gotten grandfathered in and
[TS]
00:13:00
◼
►
I'm never had a terribly compelling reason reason to walk away from it I
[TS]
00:13:04
◼
►
know that I could probably save a few bucks a month if I didn't keep it
[TS]
00:13:08
◼
►
anymore but whatever it is what it is however on my iPad as I've said numerous
[TS]
00:13:13
◼
►
times in the past I have the 300 makes a month from t-mobile and that's typically
[TS]
00:13:19
◼
►
how I use cellular on my iPad if I'm going to use it at all and occasionally
[TS]
00:13:25
◼
►
all on vacation for example actually pay for a few gigs for that month or
[TS]
00:13:30
◼
►
whatever but generally speaking I just live on the 220 a month and so I have
[TS]
00:13:35
◼
►
gone in on my iPad and turned off cellular data at the Iowa State level
[TS]
00:13:39
◼
►
pretty much everywhere and I can assure you that if I saw that dialog all the
[TS]
00:13:45
◼
►
time when using overcast are driving not so I think you need to stick around with
[TS]
00:13:48
◼
►
Nikki detailed version and I see no reason not to put sink in their excuse
[TS]
00:13:54
◼
►
me a stream in there especially since anytime you're streaming from what I
[TS]
00:13:58
◼
►
have gathered from you any single time you're streaming like you've said a
[TS]
00:14:02
◼
►
couple times it's based on user action so at that point I should know what I'm
[TS]
00:14:07
◼
►
doing and I should know no matter how advanced user I am if I'm trying to play
[TS]
00:14:12
◼
►
a podcast that is not on my device it's gonna have to come from somewhere and if
[TS]
00:14:16
◼
►
I'm not on wifi if I'm not on the fan jokingly called around these parts then
[TS]
00:14:22
◼
►
I know that it's gonna have to go via cellular and I should be able to figure
[TS]
00:14:28
◼
►
that out so I think you've got the right approach medicare is here with john has
[TS]
00:14:31
◼
►
failed and there is one little complexity that you said as long as
[TS]
00:14:35
◼
►
you're streaming and you always shows that there are scenarios in which you
[TS]
00:14:39
◼
►
can unexpectedly Street
[TS]
00:14:42
◼
►
condition well
[TS]
00:14:45
◼
►
so for instance suppose you are on a trip that you know suppose you have it
[TS]
00:14:52
◼
►
set to the new episodes come in in streaming basically you disable auto
[TS]
00:14:57
◼
►
download right so the new episodes coming in March for streaming on me that
[TS]
00:15:01
◼
►
they're not automatically download it by default
[TS]
00:15:03
◼
►
ok so you have it set that way you will listen to a playlist and you've
[TS]
00:15:07
◼
►
downloaded everything on the playlist anyway cuz you're gonna go somewhere and
[TS]
00:15:10
◼
►
so you like a lot of want to burn on my data trips on a download everything in
[TS]
00:15:14
◼
►
advance while you're listening to something and the screen is off a new
[TS]
00:15:18
◼
►
episode comes in its march for streaming by default and it's inserted right after
[TS]
00:15:22
◼
►
the thing you're listening to
[TS]
00:15:23
◼
►
so as you're listening the the episode the two ends it starts up the next
[TS]
00:15:28
◼
►
episode which is a streaming-only episode so it is possible for seeming to
[TS]
00:15:34
◼
►
happen to you
[TS]
00:15:35
◼
►
somewhat unexpectedly it's not going to be the common case but it is possible so
[TS]
00:15:39
◼
►
like the web it just happens to read exactly so you see there there are a lot
[TS]
00:15:45
◼
►
of the complexities like a lot of people said you guys probably dialog asking
[TS]
00:15:50
◼
►
people to approve streaming when you're on sailor have an option to that the
[TS]
00:15:53
◼
►
problem is lots of times when when I have to make that decision
[TS]
00:15:58
◼
►
the display of the phone is office in somebody's pocket or in somebody's doc
[TS]
00:16:02
◼
►
somewhere on in a car in their house and lot of times when you're driving really
[TS]
00:16:05
◼
►
I really shouldn't be asking people to interact with the UI that's dangerous or
[TS]
00:16:10
◼
►
you know you or your like exercising and it's in your pocket and you you know
[TS]
00:16:14
◼
►
it's there's all these situations where I have to make a decision without asking
[TS]
00:16:20
◼
►
the user with a dialog box so I I think the way to do it is to just have it is
[TS]
00:16:26
◼
►
to just never prompt the user for this decision just have a setting that you
[TS]
00:16:30
◼
►
can change either on or off and John what do you have to say about this and
[TS]
00:16:34
◼
►
he talked about all these settings makes me think that like the key point here is
[TS]
00:16:38
◼
►
not the wrong account of little toggle switches you have in your settings I
[TS]
00:16:42
◼
►
know this sort of you know combinatorial explosion of
[TS]
00:16:46
◼
►
possibility bugs of giving the counter under control is a good first
[TS]
00:16:49
◼
►
approximation of how you should keep from going crazy but for the cellular
[TS]
00:16:53
◼
►
stuff setting aside the bugs which you know what can you do just follow the
[TS]
00:16:57
◼
►
radars and keep your fingers crossed the settings did come to mind when you're
[TS]
00:17:03
◼
►
describing all the functionality that I can imagine users feeling comfortable in
[TS]
00:17:06
◼
►
the way of conceptualizing is somewhere in the settings screen there's going to
[TS]
00:17:10
◼
►
be a list of their split into wifi and cellular just do celular like wi-fi as a
[TS]
00:17:16
◼
►
disabling wifi here the things I want this out to be a lot to do in cellular
[TS]
00:17:20
◼
►
as justice it's a fairly long list of things to say yes to that noted that yes
[TS]
00:17:24
◼
►
then they get increasingly specific about them you could start for the
[TS]
00:17:28
◼
►
future and that's when I hear like stream in sync over cellular to see a
[TS]
00:17:32
◼
►
cellular section what amounted to oversell you download new episodes
[TS]
00:17:36
◼
►
stream episodes that have asked you to stream and download stream episodes they
[TS]
00:17:41
◼
►
come in while this new Potter know what the options are you can you can go
[TS]
00:17:44
◼
►
through all the possibilities than just because I think that's a lot of options
[TS]
00:17:47
◼
►
and it's like who wants to answer these questions you can accomplish some set of
[TS]
00:17:51
◼
►
the false do you think are appropriate for most people don't someone go to
[TS]
00:17:54
◼
►
settings I can imagine I'm going down list going yes no no yes and if you want
[TS]
00:17:59
◼
►
to help them you can't even put like average of X number of megabytes over
[TS]
00:18:03
◼
►
the past month which party will help them initially he can't be populated
[TS]
00:18:06
◼
►
areas you don't know what do you suggest that you click here for everybody but
[TS]
00:18:09
◼
►
after months of usage they can go down that list and sell it was using all my
[TS]
00:18:12
◼
►
cell didn't like I want overcast to you know the only guests like what things I
[TS]
00:18:17
◼
►
don't understand is just a couple of Dayton you can see over the past month
[TS]
00:18:20
◼
►
because you allowed to download new episodes over cellular its use this
[TS]
00:18:24
◼
►
amount of data right and then they can you know it's just a bunch of us going
[TS]
00:18:28
◼
►
gets no no no yes no I feel like six seven eight nine and ten options in that
[TS]
00:18:32
◼
►
type of thing isn't crazy especially look at the actual iOS settings means
[TS]
00:18:35
◼
►
they're just a wall tiles which is that people are ok go on who can use location
[TS]
00:18:39
◼
►
did not you unite uuu
[TS]
00:18:42
◼
►
at you like I think that's a reasonable interaction even though it seems really
[TS]
00:18:47
◼
►
complicated if you're going to have this complexity anyway because you've got all
[TS]
00:18:49
◼
►
these conditions in the hood like when do I do so when do I do that and you're
[TS]
00:18:52
◼
►
gonna pick defaults for them just throw in the switches buried in a section if
[TS]
00:18:56
◼
►
it makes you feel better but I think that is actually the most
[TS]
00:18:59
◼
►
straightforward way as long as you sort of organized these fleets of switches
[TS]
00:19:03
◼
►
into logical groups then people feel like they're you know that each one
[TS]
00:19:08
◼
►
because like this topic the topic is not yet rated like this is what overcast
[TS]
00:19:13
◼
►
allowed to do over your cell connection like anyone there in that frame of mind
[TS]
00:19:17
◼
►
I feel like they're in the mode to go down those questions and just sort of
[TS]
00:19:21
◼
►
you know give Yes or Nothe rather than just going down it listed options at
[TS]
00:19:26
◼
►
having to reach one and see what topic is what is it discussing whether the
[TS]
00:19:29
◼
►
decision not to make me go to the next one which is entirely unrelated to this
[TS]
00:19:32
◼
►
one talking about what is it discussing you know whatever I don't know why I
[TS]
00:19:37
◼
►
maybe I haven't thought of all the options but of all the ones you listen
[TS]
00:19:39
◼
►
so far Mike those are all reasonable things that people could conceivably
[TS]
00:19:45
◼
►
want settings for but I think there's no way to to express that in the UI without
[TS]
00:19:52
◼
►
that really big long list of options are going to try to combine them into a
[TS]
00:19:55
◼
►
single line enemy gets confusing because it's less clear what's going on you're
[TS]
00:20:01
◼
►
like people might want different options for the two things you combine into one
[TS]
00:20:03
◼
►
of your settings we'll end there's there's more complexity to it than that
[TS]
00:20:07
◼
►
look like it it isn't as simple as do i have you know combating to do I have a
[TS]
00:20:12
◼
►
whole bunch of settings and a big long list is one of the biggest problems is
[TS]
00:20:15
◼
►
it with a big long list there is a cost to having that in the app in in that
[TS]
00:20:22
◼
►
like people will see that screen it will confuse them and it will give them the
[TS]
00:20:26
◼
►
general impression that either this app is too complex for my taste or I don't
[TS]
00:20:33
◼
►
understand this and therefore I don't feel good about it and it's you know
[TS]
00:20:36
◼
►
people to be made to feel don't be confused by your burying it you buried
[TS]
00:20:40
◼
►
in the advanced turn it picky or whatever section like I don't think
[TS]
00:20:42
◼
►
anyone's gonna go to Settings period unless the app doesn't do it by default
[TS]
00:20:45
◼
►
so it's all about picking the good to discuss thank you have a good handle on
[TS]
00:20:48
◼
►
what the reasonable defaults are you just want to have a go to section
[TS]
00:20:52
◼
►
them and someone gets in tonight mobile they feel like this happens doing
[TS]
00:20:56
◼
►
something that I don't that's why I mentioned the sizes on the things
[TS]
00:20:58
◼
►
because what they really want is stop using so much of my data and just a
[TS]
00:21:03
◼
►
bunch of switches or even one or two options even if just two options which
[TS]
00:21:07
◼
►
one of those if I change will make it use less of my data that's why stats on
[TS]
00:21:11
◼
►
like because this thing has been enabled we have downloaded this number of things
[TS]
00:21:15
◼
►
over your cell connection over this period of time so and even if just to
[TS]
00:21:19
◼
►
settings and two numbers and ok well that's the one that using my dad is on
[TS]
00:21:22
◼
►
internet one friend and I probably its stature tricky because I don't know if I
[TS]
00:21:29
◼
►
can really guarantee them like like I think it'd be hard to measure total
[TS]
00:21:33
◼
►
bytes used accurately there's there's things like redirects and header sizes
[TS]
00:21:39
◼
►
and everything that like you know I have to go very low level in the API is to be
[TS]
00:21:43
◼
►
able to actually count all of those accurately so like I wouldn't I want I
[TS]
00:21:47
◼
►
don't really want to be in the game of being incredibly specific is also
[TS]
00:21:51
◼
►
there's there's some degree of liability there you know maybe not sure legally
[TS]
00:21:55
◼
►
wouldn't cause any problems with it might anger people like if I if I say
[TS]
00:21:58
◼
►
something that is wrong so if I say for instance like if I had been the app age
[TS]
00:22:04
◼
►
a big target says all cell data off I don't offer that because I can't
[TS]
00:22:09
◼
►
guarantee that my Apple use no soda the iOS at the system level option can I
[TS]
00:22:14
◼
►
can't because there are things like wk web you and a WebView the tries to load
[TS]
00:22:19
◼
►
images I can't prevent that from hitting the cell network easily I can't
[TS]
00:22:24
◼
►
guarantee that my Apple use noted so that's why I don't offer that option
[TS]
00:22:27
◼
►
also I don't I don't show the file sizes of the podcasts before their downloaded
[TS]
00:22:33
◼
►
a lot of people request this is the big problem that is it really busy at work
[TS]
00:22:37
◼
►
we're doing it had requested the files for you downloaded and like right before
[TS]
00:22:41
◼
►
you download it to really get to really get it accurately
[TS]
00:22:43
◼
►
there is a field for in feed for people to specify that we do in our feed but
[TS]
00:22:48
◼
►
that is manually entered by a human being so it is unreliable and is often
[TS]
00:22:52
◼
►
absent the only way to do it is to head request and I could do this herbicide
[TS]
00:22:56
◼
►
for every single thing that's that's complicated and that's also kinda
[TS]
00:22:59
◼
►
unreliable in one of the server
[TS]
00:23:01
◼
►
you know what if one of these things block me that every port 0 for
[TS]
00:23:04
◼
►
everything what if my information is out of date rape the first crawl media is
[TS]
00:23:07
◼
►
just one megabyte because they uploaded on the part of the file and then you go
[TS]
00:23:11
◼
►
to download it in two hours later and it's a hundred magazine then you're
[TS]
00:23:14
◼
►
angry at me as I said only one mag there's like there's all these like we
[TS]
00:23:18
◼
►
are complex edge cases that I don't want to make a promise I can't keep them low
[TS]
00:23:25
◼
►
medium high percentages I'm trying to just be conceptualized this whole so do
[TS]
00:23:29
◼
►
their thing from user's perspective what they're concerned about is you know they
[TS]
00:23:35
◼
►
can get the idea from the settings thing of which apps are using most of my data
[TS]
00:23:39
◼
►
like Apple provide that but then if they find out okay overcast is a big consumer
[TS]
00:23:43
◼
►
things described a lot of podcasts and the settings that says it does a lot I
[TS]
00:23:48
◼
►
like podcast I don't want to uninstall overcast I want to continue to listen to
[TS]
00:23:51
◼
►
the band now I have to go into overcast so how can I make overcast use less they
[TS]
00:23:56
◼
►
had another the big giants which is no cell data at all they're going into over
[TS]
00:24:00
◼
►
gas but the mission in the mission is figure out what the thing is I have to
[TS]
00:24:04
◼
►
flip to make it uses less data and the state you know I'm just anything to
[TS]
00:24:09
◼
►
guide them in terms of which one of these options will have the most effect
[TS]
00:24:12
◼
►
rather than relying up you agree with descriptions and understanding which one
[TS]
00:24:15
◼
►
is bigger you know it can't get size in megabytes maybe you can give percentages
[TS]
00:24:20
◼
►
maybe give though medium-high I don't know I just that that's on traffic but
[TS]
00:24:24
◼
►
like rather than worry about the people who like super picking want to control
[TS]
00:24:29
◼
►
every aspect of it happened wanna like be able to write their own code to make
[TS]
00:24:32
◼
►
decisions on each decision point muscle just wanna know how to make the abused
[TS]
00:24:38
◼
►
less data and and no you know what the consequences are like it's you know the
[TS]
00:24:44
◼
►
option says here's some sort of raiding for if I were to turn off how much I
[TS]
00:24:48
◼
►
might I say if and I'll make that decision understand because I turned
[TS]
00:24:51
◼
►
that off now I won't get that
[TS]
00:24:53
◼
►
more for myself it is it is a hard problem that I'm just trying to simplify
[TS]
00:24:56
◼
►
it in two ways one changing the way you think about it but terms like was the
[TS]
00:25:00
◼
►
golden goal is to use less data like sizes or ratings or something like that
[TS]
00:25:04
◼
►
have to be in there and then to the other extreme is you know just introduce
[TS]
00:25:10
◼
►
the topic you give a big fleet of things that can go and then people just go down
[TS]
00:25:13
◼
►
the list and go on and like that sync over cellular thing I've never even seen
[TS]
00:25:18
◼
►
that option so I don't like I'm trying to get my usage anything ever been to
[TS]
00:25:22
◼
►
the overcast skies may be too busy to happen to pick the DePaul center right
[TS]
00:25:26
◼
►
maybe because I'm always on wifi but yeah people who write you in two to
[TS]
00:25:32
◼
►
complain about cell usage they may be noisy but I don't think most of your job
[TS]
00:25:39
◼
►
as a good defaulting to get the worry less about the intimidation that we're
[TS]
00:25:42
◼
►
setting screens I don't think maybe visited maybe all the other problem is
[TS]
00:25:46
◼
►
this is this is what I affectionately called a power user problem that if you
[TS]
00:25:52
◼
►
give people settings they will use them and then they will forget that they use
[TS]
00:25:57
◼
►
them and then the app will behave differently from the default because
[TS]
00:26:01
◼
►
they change settings in they forgot they change them and then they will write in
[TS]
00:26:05
◼
►
or complaint on Twitter or complaining public that my app is not working
[TS]
00:26:07
◼
►
properly because of his heading they change it happens all the time with the
[TS]
00:26:12
◼
►
playback setting where in the playback effects pain thing I have an option that
[TS]
00:26:21
◼
►
most people consider called continuous play and i title it when this episode
[TS]
00:26:25
◼
►
ends and the bottom two buttons play next
[TS]
00:26:29
◼
►
or stop and I thought this was very clear many people when they're poking
[TS]
00:26:34
◼
►
around in the options they will toggle that then they will forget to talk about
[TS]
00:26:39
◼
►
it and they were right in saying my abused to get automatic the next episode
[TS]
00:26:43
◼
►
and now it doesn't what happened to the bug and everything I had to explain its
[TS]
00:26:48
◼
►
this is kinda like a you know blowing the power cord kind of solution it's
[TS]
00:26:53
◼
►
like i don't want to embarrass them in my response to be very gentle like how I
[TS]
00:26:57
◼
►
say this but it's just a bad it's about very funny because if you give people
[TS]
00:27:02
◼
►
settings they will use them many of them will forget about it or use them badly
[TS]
00:27:06
◼
►
they don't understand and then the Apple break them regardless of what it does to
[TS]
00:27:10
◼
►
to me america station it makes the app sucks for them so that's also why are
[TS]
00:27:15
◼
►
they happy when when you gently lead them to the option like oh my problem is
[TS]
00:27:20
◼
►
solved I found a setting + little toggle switch and I feel like it turns around
[TS]
00:27:26
◼
►
on them at that point where it's like I thought that this app that I used to
[TS]
00:27:30
◼
►
like was room for me forever but really all you need to do is tap little toggle
[TS]
00:27:34
◼

switch yes but a lot of times as sheep are not writing in this is all these
[TS]
00:27:39
◼

video is indicative of like well if these five people on Twitter so this
[TS]
00:27:43
◼
►
happen to them and they didn't understand that's why it happened
[TS]
00:27:47
◼
►
think of how many people there are didn't get in touch with me who just
[TS]
00:27:50
◼
►
thought the appt was broken why do people like to understand why someone
[TS]
00:27:54
◼

would want would turn that off all their wandering through settings or why they
[TS]
00:27:57

for you you know I don't go to settings I just launched the apt to figure out

it's because it's not a gear icon of the hell is this we've been through this

things like I said when I get away with not here I gone and it can to give

yeah alright so thank you christiane for that correction this is from Hunter
[TS]
00:36:19
◼
►
mentioned last week about time and resources where your app doesn't come
[TS]
00:36:23
◼
►
with a bunch of stuff i can download them on demand and you could say respect
[TS]
00:36:26
◼
►
that I when you build your application which resources won't be bundled with
[TS]
00:36:30
◼
►
the application but can be downloaded by the application at any point that I
[TS]
00:36:34
◼
►
mentioned that didn't seem like there was enough of you I hope to give a good
[TS]
00:36:38
◼
►
user experience the hunter says that the fundamental resource API does support
[TS]
00:36:42
◼
►
and as progress tracking progress and display it to the user so that's nice
[TS]
00:36:46
◼
►
although you think you have bad games that have like 500 mega levels that
[TS]
00:36:52
◼
►
download levels over cellular yes know what the right answer there probably
[TS]
00:36:56
◼
►
know but then they're playing a game and a car ride and get to the next level the
[TS]
00:37:01
◼
►
only thing you really do is say sorry you can't put the next level because you
[TS]
00:37:05
◼
►
have downloaded blah blah blah blah blah goes in changes in terms of use all his
[TS]
00:37:10
◼
►
parents or just wait for the next half an hour in the car for 500 make the
[TS]
00:37:15
◼
►
level download way travel anyway or any game that uses they get so many one-star
[TS]
00:37:19
◼
►
reviews from people having this problem that it stopped using it now but I think
[TS]
00:37:24
◼
►
it's still a good option is it a bit breaking up into smaller chunks you know
[TS]
00:37:28
◼
►
like instead of hopefully no levels 500 megs but games like three gigs and they
[TS]
00:37:35
◼
►
a small number of levels each one's got to be pretty big anyway helping
[TS]
00:37:39
◼
►
developers figured this out I kinda like the the ps4 thing where if you download
[TS]
00:37:44
◼
►
a game you can start playing it before the game is entirely down wanting to
[TS]
00:37:47
◼
►
just download the early parts of the game
[TS]
00:37:49
◼
►
sooner it takes a long time to download but it's nice that you don't wait for
[TS]
00:37:52
◼
►
the whole thing to download because you're not going to run it by playing at
[TS]
00:37:56
◼
►
some of these games take a certain minimum amount of time to get there
[TS]
00:37:59
◼
►
especially when you're playing for the first time they just let you start
[TS]
00:38:01
◼
►
playing as soon as you've got like the first 10 hours worth levels or something
[TS]
00:38:05
◼
►
about time you grind two dozen if you're an expert in the game the rest will be
[TS]
00:38:08
◼
►
downloaded or so they hope it is working out well saying someone's gonna
[TS]
00:38:15
◼
►
implement that I do think it's interesting also that like there seems
[TS]
00:38:18
◼
►
on the iOS App Store there seems to be no correlation between games size and
[TS]
00:38:25
◼
►
commercial success
[TS]
00:38:28
◼
►
ok think about it
[TS]
00:38:31
◼
►
menu often
[TS]
00:38:34
◼
►
everyone else crazier I am you expect there to be like you expected begins to
[TS]
00:38:40
◼
►
more successful yeah I'm kinda saying like maybe it's not worth making game so
[TS]
00:38:45
◼
►
big it really depends on the type of game I guess you're making a puzzle game
[TS]
00:38:49
◼
►
how big it possibly be right i mean how they talk about having no assets how big
[TS]
00:38:53
◼
►
is letterpress another demographics and entire game they're just like the launch
[TS]
00:38:57
◼
►
icon right but other types of games like if you're making a 3d game there's going
[TS]
00:39:01
◼
►
to be geometry is gonna be textures and like there's no getting around that and
[TS]
00:39:05
◼
►
it's gonna be much bigger than a game of the static screen and I don't know I
[TS]
00:39:11
◼
►
don't think people have the same expectations of mobile games but I think
[TS]
00:39:14
◼
►
genre plays into big things are in and art style if you do things with texture
[TS]
00:39:19
◼
►
mapping Texas take up room if you do everything with flat shading you just
[TS]
00:39:23
◼
►
have geometry then you know I think it's reasonable a small platform like this
[TS]
00:39:28
◼
►
desert golf not be enough for anybody he thought that game so much it's really
[TS]
00:39:34
◼

00:39:42
◼
►

◼
►

[TS]
00:39:48
◼
►
if that's actually true but I'm afraid it is yeah I've never played it pretty
[TS]
00:39:52
◼
►
happy about that
[TS]
00:39:53
◼
►
get out this adventure it's better game I haven't had a few weeks old ever
[TS]
00:39:56
◼
►
played it disagree you think those adventures better than desert golfing I
[TS]
00:40:03
◼
►
think everyone else thinks it is but I don't think it is
[TS]
00:40:08
◼
►
this is why do you as a gamer in a nut shell game that game in a desert with
[TS]
00:40:16
◼
►
the ball at all I can handle they're both good gains
[TS]
00:40:19

excellent games but I got a lot more time golfing just because of like the
[TS]
00:40:26

where Alto is a great game but once I played lake to one plane flight and then
[TS]
00:40:38

[TS]
00:40:42
◼

thing over and over again and I know doesn't coughing is similar but I didn't
[TS]
00:40:48
◼

get any depth about it was cool for like the one day I was playing it a lot but I
[TS]
00:40:53
◼

try playing it here and there afterwards and I just like I just felt too
[TS]
00:40:56
◼

repetitive to me you don't have any competitive juices flowing without was
[TS]
00:41:00

all about later meeting with yourself trying to best your previous best run or
[TS]
00:41:03

competing with other people whereas there's no company competitive aspect

World of Warcraft Warcraft when it was relatively new and all I did was run
[TS]
00:42:45
◼

I love Transport Tycoon I haven't played it in probably five years
[TS]
00:43:08
◼

oh yeah I haven't played it more than that because like an open TTD is awesome
[TS]
00:43:13
◼

like it's it was such a fantastic read implementation of the game engine an
[TS]
00:43:17

added so much stuff and it's fantastic time to it like you know 2007 2008 kind
[TS]
00:43:23
◼

of error but again I just I had like there's never a time when I want to
[TS]
00:43:28

spend hours and hours and hours playing games instead of producing some
[TS]
00:43:33
◼

something that I that I want to working on it that's just me just like it's hot
[TS]
00:43:36

00:43:50
◼

he doesn't want to spend a lot of time playing games and much rather be doing
[TS]
00:43:55
◼

something else that was that was almost a meditation for me because you're lucky
[TS]
00:44:00
◼

it took like eight thousand strokes
[TS]
00:44:07

[TS]
00:44:11
◼

few seconds or whatever but you know so obviously I know a lot of time there but
[TS]
00:44:15

through all my personal stuff I've used probably ten different registrars

easiest to use some even close if you like me have had two mains and other

places and you want to transfer them into however they will even if you want

this and that way they'll move over everything without making them a stately

DNS entries stuff like that kind of tricky to get right and has pretty big

ramifications if you mess anything up they will do it all for you want them to

do so you don't have to worry about the stress of moving again even just

annoyances like dealing with the transfer codes in the unlocks and all

that crap they will deal deal with all for you if you if you let them so it's

umbrella now I'm saving for next week
[TS]
00:48:05
◼
►
done with follow-up really shows out of control it was an hour in a really only
[TS]
00:48:12
◼
►
an hour and we're done with follow-up boy wonder what made that takes on a
[TS]
00:48:16
◼

must be too much follow-up
[TS]
00:48:18
◼
►
god I'm staying out of this so are we talking about the end of tech doctors at
[TS]
00:48:23
◼
►
all so if not for right now I think of the prefix on I'll fix it so the three
[TS]
00:48:28
◼
►
of us in the Senate next week end of tick tock which kinda makes it sound
[TS]
00:48:32
◼
►
like Tik Tok is ending next week I could be this is the end of the computer age
[TS]
00:48:39
◼

it was welcomed to the end
[TS]
00:48:42
◼
►
we we might as well to stop the show now because we're all out of control
[TS]
00:48:47
◼

to do w computer
[TS]
00:48:50
◼
►
John try to bring us back if you please and tell us about tick tock of white
[TS]
00:49:01
◼
►
sandy I know the one hundred and put in the Genesis partners forget it
[TS]
00:49:06
◼
►
intel has its strategy that they called Tik Tok where they they make a new
[TS]
00:49:11
◼
►
microarchitecture and then the next round of chips they offer for sale is
[TS]
00:49:17
◼
►
screwed up already
[TS]
00:49:20
◼
►
2007 intel has been operating on a staggered release schedule that
[TS]
00:49:25
◼
►
alternates manufacturing process shrinks sticks with major micro architectural
[TS]
00:49:29
◼
►
changes talks
[TS]
00:49:31
◼
►
me know which is which sometimes they just do a shrink that would be at stake
[TS]
00:49:35
◼
►
and sometimes they they they changed the microarchitecture thats attack all right
[TS]
00:49:40
◼
►
there you have it
[TS]
00:49:41
◼
►
how long the voice of reason between the three of us what is going on I can they
[TS]
00:49:45
◼
►
picked a bad name is the point of the alternate and some of this has been sort
[TS]
00:49:50
◼
►
of regular schedule what it meant that every other round of chips you would get
[TS]
00:49:55
◼
►
a new process you have 32 nanometer chips and those that of the region enemy
[TS]
00:50:00
◼
►
ships and I had to go to the next size smaller but 2828 to this kind of 22
[TS]
00:50:04
◼
►
anyway we've had 40 nanometer chips for two generations now and so in theory the
[TS]
00:50:12
◼
►
next round of chips should be there next process eyes which is supposed to be 10
[TS]
00:50:15
◼
►
but intel's basically said the next round ships will not be 10 then and
[TS]
00:50:20
◼
►
there will be a third round of 40 nanometer chips basically a bigger than
[TS]
00:50:24
◼
►
10 men manufacturing processes not ready so bland also it's worth pointing out
[TS]
00:50:29
◼
►
that the fourteen in me to process it is just barely coming online now
[TS]
00:50:34
◼
►
like it it was also look at that whatever wednesday was the probable a
[TS]
00:50:37
◼
►
much of that or any although much of that was the process the process of
[TS]
00:50:44
◼
►
being so delayed and so they had a huge delay just trying to get this and it was
[TS]
00:50:48
◼
►
a bit about a yearly or year and a half lead right yeah it so this is like
[TS]
00:50:52
◼
►
getting out ahead of the next on by saying
[TS]
00:50:54
◼
►
not gonna do it we did it go kind of on schedule but things are kind of late in
[TS]
00:50:59
◼
►
the cum out of whatever it's like look just 10 nanometers is not going to be
[TS]
00:51:02
◼
►
ready but we're also not going to you know delay having a new line of chips
[TS]
00:51:07
◼
►
but we are going to make one more rounded tips on 40 nanometers and they
[TS]
00:51:12
◼
►
had to come up with a new name for them greatly during the names these things
[TS]
00:51:15
◼
►
it's gonna be sky lake and then it was followed by Canon lake so in between
[TS]
00:51:19
◼
►
them the third line 40 nanometers things is going to be kab while a candy wanna
[TS]
00:51:26
◼
►
take a swing at that he be advanced over baby cabey I'm sure it's probably Kb
[TS]
00:51:34
◼
►
anyway that's what they're going to call the third round of 40 nanometer chips
[TS]
00:51:37
◼
►
which is pretty weird as we discussed on previous shows Moore's law can continue
[TS]
00:51:43
◼
►
forever because there as far as modern science knows there is the minimum size
[TS]
00:51:47
◼
►
that things can be we're always trying to smash them up into smaller and
[TS]
00:51:51
◼
►
smaller pieces find out what can be smaller but the rules but exchange in
[TS]
00:51:55
◼
►
crazy ways when you get really small so we were not going to double the number
[TS]
00:51:59
◼
►
of things we can fit in a unit of space every 18 months
[TS]
00:52:04
◼
►
forever and ever this is not mean the end of more than just a slow down I
[TS]
00:52:11
◼
►
think I'm fine with that I like the fact that Intel's owning up to this rather
[TS]
00:52:16
◼
►
than just saying might be a little bit late cause then it just you know they're
[TS]
00:52:20
◼
►
digging into shifting a whole year over and i'm glad that they're going to do
[TS]
00:52:23
◼
►
another round of 40 nanometer chips rather than just delaying forever and
[TS]
00:52:28
◼
►
ever until 10 nanometers ready so well but I mean they basically did that with
[TS]
00:52:32
◼
►
has well known as bad weather yet well I'm using one right now if if you bought
[TS]
00:52:38
◼
►
a Mac in the last couple of years you've gotten has well unless you bought one of
[TS]
00:52:43
◼
►
the 2015 provisions of only the retina MacBook 13 the MacBook Air or the
[TS]
00:52:51
◼
►
network won the 15 still using as well
[TS]
00:52:55
◼
►
the iMac still has well these the Mac Pro is using the pentium pro I mean it's
[TS]
00:53:02
◼
►
everything is is delayed an old because this one was so so delayed like 240
[TS]
00:53:10
◼
►
mister delayed and so what Intel did in the last in the last year and a half
[TS]
00:53:13
◼
►
while Broadwell is being delayed they released a kind of like 1.5 version of
[TS]
00:53:18
◼
►
has well you know it's the same core but they just like give us like higher being
[TS]
00:53:23
◼
►
higher clock parts just a kind of Titus over and over their partners like Apple
[TS]
00:53:28
◼
►
they're trying to sell computers around these things and trying to make bad
[TS]
00:53:30
◼
►
decisions on these things that's why I'm using a forged her computer right now
[TS]
00:53:34
◼
►
because I have heard that it probably I'm sure Apple's margins on the forehead
[TS]
00:53:39
◼
►
gigahertz chips are not that great is the various bidding annual issues that
[TS]
00:53:44
◼
►
are typical business but they had to give us some kind of minor increase like
[TS]
00:53:48
◼
►
our ticket we think we have reached the clocks as much as we can without sharing
[TS]
00:53:52
◼
►
the process and we'll do something given give people something new to tide them
[TS]
00:53:58
◼
►
over while we work out our next revisions delays so they already did a
[TS]
00:54:03
◼
►
third division kind of with as well so what they're basically saying here is
[TS]
00:54:08
◼
►
that this is going to happen again this time workers warning you in advance and
[TS]
00:54:13
◼
►
giving it a new name and I don't think much is known about the new line of
[TS]
00:54:16
◼
►
chips like will it just be like you said just you know that higher bend versions
[TS]
00:54:20
◼
►
of those things that maybe a couple of little errors sticks in them or
[TS]
00:54:23
◼
►
something or will it be you know with a bunt the GPU is actually be a
[TS]
00:54:28
◼
►
significant new line of chips
[TS]
00:54:31
◼
►
seems like that by giving it a new name and new Lake name that it's not just
[TS]
00:54:36
◼
►
going to be like I 1.5 but it's certainly not going to be a new
[TS]
00:54:39
◼
►
architecture a talk radio architecture I guess they're saving that for its
[TS]
00:54:47
◼
►
confusing
[TS]
00:54:48
◼
►
like the relationship between Intel roadmap and when Apple releases in some
[TS]
00:54:52
◼
►
ways it seems like it's tied tightly together like oh that became really some
[TS]
00:54:56
◼
►
scenes because the Intel doesn't have the chips ready but in other respects
[TS]
00:55:00
◼
►
they're totally unrelated see the Mac Pro well no that's not entirely true the
[TS]
00:55:04
◼
►
Mac Pro is very belated but it's really too busy on road map I know but they are
[TS]
00:55:09
◼
►
behind an entire year on the on ships they are but the last revision of the
[TS]
00:55:13
◼
►
ions was a little bit questionable
[TS]
00:55:14
◼
►
the problem is that I saw but looking at like you know what you would do with
[TS]
00:55:18
◼
►
chips on the Xeon Intel sells most of these things in service and the server
[TS]
00:55:24
◼
►
business is very different from the desktop workstation business at the Mac
[TS]
00:55:27
◼
►
Pro sets in and on servers what you really know what you generally what the
[TS]
00:55:31
◼
►
market demands is more and more cores even if each coarseness fast and so
[TS]
00:55:37
◼
►
that's why you have most of the online up the ones at least the high ones that
[TS]
00:55:41
◼
►
sell nicely and have a nice profit margins and have all the PCI Express
[TS]
00:55:45
◼
►
Lanes everything most of those optimized for core count and have a clock speed of
[TS]
00:55:50
◼
►
like two girls you know that's it you're getting like relatively low clock speeds
[TS]
00:55:54
◼
►
have very high score counts the Mac Pro its users of a very small number of
[TS]
00:56:00
◼
►
these chips it offers 344 them and they're they're like the highest clock
[TS]
00:56:05
◼
►
version they can get addicts core count basically without blowing thermals seems
[TS]
00:56:09
◼
►
when they moved from the previous ones
[TS]
00:56:12
◼
►
pictures anybody P I think into has really happy when he came out sorry for
[TS]
00:56:18
◼
►
the generation that they've skipped they really was not much of a game to be had
[TS]
00:56:23
◼
►
in the areas that the Mac Pro actually sells chips from like in those parts it
[TS]
00:56:28
◼
►
really was it was like they the the core counts went up slightly like you got a
[TS]
00:56:32
◼
►
ten core and like a 14 or so they were they were like a small core count of
[TS]
00:56:36
◼
►
great but like all the clock speeds went down or hit the same and power was a
[TS]
00:56:39
◼
►
little bit weird so it was it was not a great update and so that might have been
[TS]
00:56:44
◼
►
why Apple seemingly hasn't and seemingly won't use those I don't know but it also
[TS]
00:56:52
◼
►
you know the Mac Pro also has kept generations before this won't be the
[TS]
00:56:55
◼
►
first time and so it might also just be partly that that that it wasn't a major
[TS]
00:57:01
◼
►
upgrade from Intel and partly Apple doesn't care that strongly about
[TS]
00:57:05
◼
►
upgrading these on the basis of my good old days when a new jet came out
[TS]
00:57:11
◼
►
everybody voted in their machines because you had to be there was
[TS]
00:57:13
◼
►
competitive pressure to and for the most part that was a pretty good thing even
[TS]
00:57:19
◼
►
if these are not a big upgrade over the old ones especially on things like the
[TS]
00:57:23
◼
►
Mac Pro Mark Morris who cares but like thats
[TS]
00:57:26
◼
►
that what people are buying this for like that the Super parallel test where
[TS]
00:57:28
◼
►
extra Corazon be significant difference of all the machines that are actually
[TS]
00:57:33
◼
►
gonna care that you have you know 12 vs 10 chorus the Mac Pro is the one the
[TS]
00:57:39
◼
►
tips are saying they didn't have any good GPU option so that would bump the
[TS]
00:57:42
◼
►
CPU at the GPO but anyway
[TS]
00:57:45
◼
►
historically is not like the play the game and they're like well let me have
[TS]
00:57:48
◼
►
an impressive new machine or not just gonna give you new CPUs except I guess
[TS]
00:57:52
◼
►
and the laptops where they'll do that as well 1.5 I don't know oh yeah I mean
[TS]
00:57:57
◼
►
they they i don't i don't know if they've ever skipped bail at a major
[TS]
00:58:02
◼
►
laptop CPU generation until now where they at where they appear to be skipping
[TS]
00:58:05
◼
►
quad-core broad wells and going to slightly but I did and this is a weird
[TS]
00:58:11
◼

situation with timing of those things I don't think it ever skip one before that
[TS]
00:58:14

so what does this mean if hypothetically you have two copies I think it's a late

[TS]
00:58:34

know the next big chips at last I heard that was theoretically coming this fall
[TS]
00:58:40
◼

does any of this change that
[TS]
00:58:42
◼

know is that what they're saying is that the generation of chips that were moving
[TS]
00:58:46
◼

into the 40 nanometer like this is this is what started with Broadwell this past
[TS]
00:58:51

spring with the MacBook one and in the air and then later on the 13 that
[TS]

generation is the 14 nanometer one and that's like we're just in the infancy of

doing it right

requires a dedicated service that specializes in that and cloud servers

that can combine wisdom from all sorts of things and not just be like one
[TS]
01:04:04

01:04:15
◼

point your domain MX record at them so they become your official email host to

loitering around hardly buying anything but just taking up all the seats and

scene and and they drove other customers away because who wants to hang out

[TS]
01:24:48

of the dilemma here where it's like if they want to become more mainstream if

they want to become more attractive to advertisers and therefore more
[TS]
01:24:55

profitable if they want their value of their assets to go up if they want the

number of advertisers to go up I think they have to get rid of all this garbage

they have to get rid of all this like you know anarchy / libertarian free

01:25:22

that garbage on your site that is highly offensive legally questionable you know
[TS]
01:25:28

no advertising want to be associated with that and also make more money with
[TS]
01:25:32

advertising leaky you have to take one of the other and it seems like they're
[TS]
01:25:36

trying to hide this the most objectionable stuff like ok lot of

people are offended by this bubble like we won't run ads against its over
[TS]
01:25:42
◼

technically not making money off of the valujet subsidizing with the other stuff
[TS]
01:25:46
◼

and we'll put it off in the corner and they'll stay by themselves and like why
[TS]
01:25:50
◼

why you bending over backwards to make sure these people have a place to share
[TS]
01:25:53

01:25:58

01:26:02

effects of allowing a place for people to reinforce each other's hateful ideas
[TS]
01:26:07

and recruit new people and I go no incitement to violence against the Red
[TS]
01:26:11
◼

guidelines yeah I'm sure that will work exactly as intended when you get a bunch
[TS]
01:26:14
◼

of people talking to each other constantly over and over again in
[TS]
01:26:17
◼

sharing people pictures and videos and all sorts of terrible things there I'm
[TS]
01:26:21
◼

sure nothing bad will come out of that it'll just be positive like as long as
[TS]
01:26:24
◼

this they would need terms this means no it's so ridiculous and so it so asinine
[TS]
01:26:28

and again that's the site they want to run go for it but if their job is to
[TS]
01:26:31

make money for like for their parent company this is not the way to do it and
[TS]
01:26:35

using your middle school coffee shop example it's as if at a certain point
[TS]
01:26:39
◼

all the nine middle schoolers left at all that was left was middle school
[TS]
01:26:43
◼

students and you realize by now we have to cater to them because there are only
[TS]
01:26:46
◼

customers like they're not at this point but like if you suddenly turning to well
[TS]
01:26:51
◼
►
I guess we have to become a dance club or something right because it read it is
[TS]
01:26:58
◼
►
not at that point not even close to but like if you just keep going down this
[TS]
01:27:01
◼
►
path I think I feel like the regular people will leave and you'll just be
[TS]
01:27:05
◼
►
left with like we are a community of hate speech bulletin boards because
[TS]
01:27:09
◼
►
these people have no place else to go with its like a chance you know fortune
[TS]
01:27:12
◼
►
to a lesser extent yeah that's not the kind of business you want to run is not
[TS]
01:27:16
◼
►
that's not a growth market that's not a lot of people without a spending power
[TS]
01:27:21
◼
►
money wanna go mainstream and it just seems like the CEO is trying to preserve
[TS]
01:27:25
◼
►
like this ideal we provide a forum for people to openly share ideas and I admit
[TS]
01:27:32
◼

that that's sort of a high-minded ideals of read it but the consequences of it
[TS]
01:27:36
◼

are not going to be good for credits bottom line or for the popularity of
[TS]
01:27:42
◼
►
read it or read reputation or for his reputation anything really just seems
[TS]
01:27:46
◼

like all downside and again go ahead you know if that's what the company wants to
[TS]
01:27:50
◼

do feel free to pursue that path but I don't see it turning into anything good
[TS]
01:27:56
◼

for anyone involved so this probably doesn't mean anything for the purpose of
[TS]
01:28:00
◼

our discussion and I probably shouldn't take as a sign of me being right or
[TS]
01:28:04

wrong about this but the coffee shop closed last fall

the sort of someone who cherish that there really is eradicated I think
[TS]
01:28:24
◼

there's this is a stereotype of a typical Reddit user that's perhaps
[TS]
01:28:27
◼
►
somewhat a trip I think there are a lot of people like all three of us who don't
[TS]
01:28:32
◼
►
go to read it and let someone links to it and then we link to it we look at the
[TS]
01:28:36
◼
►
funny cat gifts and then we move on with our lives right like but we reddit users
[TS]
01:28:40
◼
►
are a part of the community and we're not part of the community but we thought
[TS]
01:28:43
◼
►
you know it's a popular site people linked you to it you end up there you
[TS]
01:28:47
◼
►
look at something and then you go someplace else I think a lot of that
[TS]
01:28:50
◼
►
traffic is from things like that I don't know maybe they know the breakdown if
[TS]
01:28:56
◼
►
most of the traffic comes from people just posting hate each other and
[TS]
01:29:01
◼
►
re-enter getting a big arguments and 17 level indented comment thread attached
[TS]
01:29:05
◼

to things maybe that is where their stuff comes from just it just seems to
[TS]
01:29:09
◼
►
me it's a bad decision I think less of the people who run read it every time I
[TS]
01:29:13
◼
►
hear one of the decisions are see them in the side of the satellite largely
[TS]
01:29:17
◼
►
nuanced discussions as they tried to to parse what should and shouldn't be
[TS]
01:29:21
◼
►
acceptable behavior and read it and just revealed themselves have no
[TS]
01:29:24
◼
►
understanding
[TS]
01:29:25
◼

of other people's experiences and you know it's late and I'm sure that all the
[TS]
01:29:29
◼
►
specific examples I said in this podcast are not accurate feel free to wander
[TS]
01:29:33
◼
►
ready yourself and try to find out what these people's opinions are but every
[TS]
01:29:36
◼
►
time I see anything from them as I go to read it and see these discussions with
[TS]
01:29:40
◼
►
it with the
[TS]
01:29:42
◼
►
the new leadership behind read it I just think I I was excited when the power
[TS]
01:29:47
◼
►
came in and started making changes like really straightforward sensible changes
[TS]
01:29:51
◼
►
get rid of the hate groups and was like I hate groups what do you mean like it's
[TS]
01:29:57
◼
►
just I don't again I don't know the details I don't know why she was pushed
[TS]
01:30:01
◼
►
out I know I'm sure she was subject to the same harassment that every woman
[TS]
01:30:04
◼
►
gets you know Peter Malkin said anything ever let alone is the CEO of a company
[TS]
01:30:08
◼
►
is in charge of a bunch of little children who are angry about everything
[TS]
01:30:12
◼
►
especially like that company like I i cant imagine a more hostile well maybe
[TS]
01:30:18
◼
►
there are some but that's like that was definitely on the on the more hostile
[TS]
01:30:21
◼
►
side and I don't know if she should you know I have no idea what her she's all I
[TS]
01:30:26
◼
►
know is that the few things I heard announce come out of her leadership
[TS]
01:30:29
◼
►
seemed like a good idea and then was a backlash against them I thought the
[TS]
01:30:32
◼
►
press the button images kicked out I got even more depressed than anything the
[TS]
01:30:35
◼
►
views of the new CEO is apparently one of the founders this just like they're
[TS]
01:30:39
◼
►
not getting so anyway
[TS]
01:30:41
◼
►
read it is read it is really not for me and furthermore I think they've read its
[TS]
01:30:47
◼
►
goals are to be a place that has it continues to have a lot of traffic and
[TS]
01:30:51
◼
►
it makes a lot of money that the current strategy they're pursuing doesn't make
[TS]
01:30:54
◼
►
any sense to me I think the other thing that I find fascinating about all this
[TS]
01:30:58
◼
►
kind of hinted at earlier is how a group of users of our website can seemingly
[TS]
01:31:08
◼
►
have so much influence that they can cause the chief executive officer of a
[TS]
01:31:13
◼
►
company to be fired just missed quit whatever that's just that's just weird
[TS]
01:31:20
◼
►
to me that even a couple hundred thousand people who I think I'd heard
[TS]
01:31:23
◼
►
that there were 200,000 signatures on the petition this online petition which
[TS]
01:31:28
◼
►
isn't even really signatures but whatever
[TS]
01:31:31
◼
►
that that many people came together to decide to try to oust a CEO man-woman it
[TS]
01:31:39
◼
►
doesn't matter like that that's just insane to me that that the users of a
[TS]
01:31:44
◼
►
website none of whom I think you're paying the website any money
[TS]
01:31:48
◼
►
seem to think that they can have that kind of influence in numbers seem to
[TS]
01:31:52
◼
►
have that kind of influence and i think a lot of the started if I understand
[TS]
01:31:56
◼
►
things correctly because I really believe it
[TS]
01:31:58
◼
►
moderator was just mister something like that I guess the person who did now it's
[TS]
01:32:04
◼
►
this is kind of like this is a really bad headaches and game in journalism
[TS]
01:32:07
◼
►
it's like that was not really the reason like that was that was like what ignited
[TS]
01:32:12
◼
►
a lot of the argument but you know it was really a lot of other pressures I
[TS]
01:32:16
◼
►
think it sounds like but you know and and especially like you know it was even
[TS]
01:32:20
◼
►
that is just like the King journalism das Lied even that official story line
[TS]
01:32:25
◼
►
is questionable because she didn't fire that moderator the mail co-founder did I
[TS]
01:32:30
◼
►
didn't realize that yeah this whole thing is a mess anyway at getting into
[TS]
01:32:34
◼
►
detail of it is just readily able you know there's no there's no good to come
[TS]
01:32:39
◼
►
of diving into details of it because that's not really what the argument was
[TS]
01:32:42
◼
►
about and what it comes down to is if if a whole bunch of users were were calling
[TS]
01:32:47
◼
►
for someone's head and that resulted in her getting what I call quick fired she
[TS]
01:32:53
◼
►
was forced to quit it was not him i think im just done now coincidentally
[TS]
01:32:58
◼
►
this week
[TS]
01:33:00
◼
►
know she was quick fired its cool happen to the best of us but that wouldn't have
[TS]
01:33:05
◼
►
happened if just some angry users who are you know he thought horrible people
[TS]
01:33:10
◼
►
it's just they had a problem with her the reason that happened I think you can
[TS]
01:33:13
◼
►
read into who they appointed instead this other co-founder we've been gone
[TS]
01:33:18
◼
►
for a while
[TS]
01:33:19
◼
►
who has these very much like you know libertarian anything goes viewpoints if
[TS]
01:33:24
◼
►
the board appointed him as the new CEO that means that the members of the board
[TS]
01:33:30
◼
►
and the people you know who have control and equity in influence the company a
[TS]
01:33:36
◼
►
good portion of them want this anything-goes attitude to stay
[TS]
01:33:40
◼
►
it's not enough that a whole bunch of users complained if only these users
[TS]
01:33:45
◼
►
getting angry and these users are people who are not particularly credible you
[TS]
01:33:48
◼
►
don't really want to cater to you can help it that would have been enough to
[TS]
01:33:51
◼
►
get her out this only gave the people in power of motivating reason to get her
[TS]
01:33:57
◼
►
out now because she was pushing indirection that not the users didn't
[TS]
01:34:01
◼
►
want that they didn't want that the power holders did not want and they put
[TS]
01:34:06
◼
►
in a guy who is the complete opposite in the in this area in this area you know
[TS]
01:34:11
◼
►
they try to keep things team and under controllers be more everything goes so
[TS]
01:34:14
◼
►
obviously the people who own and control the company wanted to be the other way
[TS]
01:34:20
◼
►
yeah I think it's the CSA generation ago don't think any details are important
[TS]
01:34:24
◼
►
it's basically like a vote of no confidence vote of no confidence from
[TS]
01:34:27
◼
►
the most local users but the opposition thing and apparently a vote of no
[TS]
01:34:30
◼
►
confidence from the board it just seems like you know you came in you start to
[TS]
01:34:34
◼
►
make some bold changes but in the end we are not behind you as the board saying
[TS]
01:34:39
◼
►
anything we do not support your decisions about what you see this
[TS]
01:34:42
◼
►
through and we're changing course and you're out right when it comes down to
[TS]
01:34:47
◼
►
is like it's up to you if you're going to be the leader of a company you
[TS]
01:34:51
◼
►
actually have to have absolute power in which case you can weather any storm and
[TS]
01:34:54
◼
►
do what you want to do or if there are people who are bosses of you and they
[TS]
01:34:59
◼
►
from their perspective they don't have confidence that the changes you're going
[TS]
01:35:02
◼
►
to make a good and they're hearing a lot of noise and the users in the users are
[TS]
01:35:05
◼
►
the most vocal users are are are staying with their actions and their words that
[TS]
01:35:11
◼
►
they don't like what you doing either you can imagine aboard thats nervous
[TS]
01:35:14
◼
►
about a company like Kobe had to sting we think it can be good this person
[TS]
01:35:19
◼
►
comes and makes budget changes then all I hear is a bunch of noise and bad
[TS]
01:35:21
◼
►
things change course change course and the new course like some people in China
[TS]
01:35:26
◼
►
are missing this new CEO is going to you know get rid of the bad even more than
[TS]
01:35:30
◼
►
she could that's possible because it's kind of like you know only nixon can go
[TS]
01:35:34
◼
►
to China I can read it only a man can make changes because people will only
[TS]
01:35:38
◼
►
accept the same exact words come out of this guy's mouth there was like oh
[TS]
01:35:41
◼
►
that's interesting I like to hear margaret is and she says it is I you are
[TS]
01:35:45
◼
►
destroying our freedom like to go back to the Stanley what kind of community
[TS]
01:35:51
◼
►
these people want to read it to be
[TS]
01:35:54
◼
►
who they want to be in this community and and what they wanted to be like what
[TS]
01:35:59
◼
►
they want to experience already like same thing between two people what do
[TS]
01:36:01
◼
►
you want to experience it's better to be like this game and said we are terrible
[TS]
01:36:06
◼
►
about dealing with harassment you want it to be a place where you go and if you
[TS]
01:36:10
◼
►
are any kind of group that's typically harassed you're going to get her ass and
[TS]
01:36:14
◼
►
you have no recourse that we're just trying to make that better by having the
[TS]
01:36:17
◼
►
tools to report people not required I think unfortunately with a condensed
[TS]
01:36:21
◼
►
matter if you reported someone for harassment you had to inform the person
[TS]
01:36:25
◼
►
that you were informing on them like was part of the process like they would send
[TS]
01:36:29
◼
►
them an email saying just so you know the person report you for harassment or
[TS]
01:36:32
◼
►
something like that was just a crazy setup made by people who didn't
[TS]
01:36:35
◼
►
understand the dynamics of harassment anyway I guess that credit they can do
[TS]
01:36:40
◼
►
what they want but when I hear everything I hear coming out of this
[TS]
01:36:43
◼
►
company so far as making the right now I'm at the point where I'm almost like
[TS]
01:36:49
◼
►
question whether wanna tap links to what I know is probably good content that all
[TS]
01:36:52
◼

►
home for this way I wouldn't give these people home on a website that I ran
[TS]

[TS]
01:37:15
◼
►
that with my clicks and whatever ads are gonna look like tapping that that's
[TS]
01:37:18
◼
►
that's the point where I am the better I'm I'm thinking that I've never thought
[TS]
01:37:21
◼
►
that about Twitter maybe it's because I cannot feel like I'm viewing ads and
[TS]
01:37:25
◼

Twitter using a third-party cloud or whatever but at this point with the red

a place I don't want to hang out yeah every time literally every time I've
[TS]
01:38:58
◼

01:39:32
◼
►
by read it because I know a few people I know certainly many people online these
[TS]
01:39:39
◼
►
read it anyway handful of people in real life please read it in it's kind of
[TS]
01:39:43
◼
►
creepy to me how people who take read it really seriously seem to think that in
[TS]
01:39:51
◼
►
in one of you said this earlier the entirety of the internet happens because
[TS]
01:39:54
◼
►
of Reddit like anything that's good on the internet it's because of Reddit
[TS]
01:40:00
◼
►
according to these people and that's just it's almost like a cult and I don't
[TS]
01:40:04
◼
►
know I don't mean that I'm sure some offended by that I don't mean it to be
[TS]
01:40:08
◼
►
offensive it's just that's the closest analogy I can think of is that all man
[TS]
01:40:13
◼
►
you don't understand
[TS]
01:40:15
◼
►
read it is where the internet happens man its cause of us that's why you know
[TS]
01:40:19
◼

[TS]
01:40:22
◼
►
us man gives it its just I don't know it's just it's creepy to me and and that
[TS]
01:40:29
◼
►
I find that to be a real turn off in an admittedly I'm very ignorant when it
[TS]
01:40:33
◼
►
comes to Reddit like you guys have said they are kinda I'll browse over to
[TS]
01:40:36
◼
►
something typically I can I am A or nama and then I'll leave and that's that but
[TS]
01:40:42
◼
►
it just seems so weird and creepy and coldish to me that I've never wanted to
[TS]
01:40:50
◼
►
invest any real time in it and now with what was there
[TS]
01:40:53
◼
►
tacit if not explicit supportable these hate groups I just think you not for me
[TS]
01:40:59
◼
►
there is something to them like the whole of you know you get enough people
[TS]
01:41:03
◼
►
together her enthusiastic about sharing things with each other and they make
[TS]
01:41:06
◼
►
these other communities like that is what makes the internet great but you
[TS]
01:41:10
◼
►
have to realize that when you reach a certain level of popularity you'll like
[TS]
01:41:15
◼
►
percentage wise you'll never able to get a certain subset of people who exhibit
[TS]
01:41:20
◼
►
what most of us would consider to be bad behavior that there there abusive to
[TS]
01:41:23
◼
►
people they do not just things like briefing and trailing they they make
[TS]
01:41:28
◼
►
that make your site worse and so most sites have at least an attempt to come
[TS]
01:41:34
◼
►
up especially in this whole thing is a big community accomplished a set of
[TS]
01:41:36
◼
►
rules to try to contain that and that the thing about ready to psych know our
[TS]
01:41:41
◼
►
philosophy is we don't that's the whole thing man just anything goes
[TS]
01:41:47
◼
►
you know anything goes except you can't hack us we don't like that that is but
[TS]
01:41:51
◼
►
anything else anything goes anywhere is that's how every community dies like
[TS]
01:41:57
◼
►
that these days you've seen tires groups go south because set of bad people would
[TS]
01:42:02
◼
►
come in they'd make everyone miserable but you can't stop them from posting in
[TS]
01:42:06
◼
►
the newsgroup you bad and your kill files but it would just like to meet you
[TS]
01:42:09
◼
►
know eventually people ok find this group is yours will leave and will start
[TS]
01:42:14
◼
►
a different group this this belongs to you now you can talk about whatever you
[TS]
01:42:17
◼
►
want here and we'll go elsewhere and that that i think is the dynamic of you
[TS]
01:42:22
◼
►
if you have a very popular community you have to have some kind of rules to
[TS]
01:42:27
◼
►
control things otherwise you'll inevitably only be left with the worst
[TS]
01:42:30
◼
►
of the worst because there are some set of people who are going to be obnoxious
[TS]
01:42:34
◼
►
and other people don't want to be around not just people and eventually all
[TS]
01:42:38
◼
►
you're left with their obnoxious people yeah I mean this this whole this whole
[TS]
01:42:42
◼
►
mess of what it takes to to maintain a community site and all the garbage you
[TS]
01:42:49
◼
►
have to deal with as the platform owner like I saw I saw a lot of tumblr I've
[TS]
01:42:54
◼
►
seen a lot in the past said to have been a part of it is made me never want to

registration date was seen as something like valuable like you had reputation
