mark I would never added something out
[TS]
00:00:23
◼
►
of a podcast that causes a stream of
[TS]
00:00:25
◼
►
feedback for an entire week even though
[TS]
00:00:26
◼
►
we discussed on the show
[TS]
00:00:28
◼
►
normally I try to edit I i try to remove
[TS]
00:00:35
◼
►
things that we that we say kind of like
[TS]
00:00:38
◼
►
I wonder if it's this way that like we
[TS]
00:00:39
◼
►
find out two seconds later are wrong
[TS]
00:00:41
◼
►
because that way because we actually if
[TS]
00:00:44
◼
►
I don't do that then we will get tons of
[TS]
00:00:46
◼
►
emails from people who have who pause at
[TS]
00:00:48
◼
►
that point before we realize that we are
[TS]
00:00:50
◼
►
wrong and write and tell us where that
[TS]
00:00:52
◼
►
we were wrong so normally i will edit
[TS]
00:00:54
◼
►
out like the first half of something
[TS]
00:00:55
◼
►
like that just because like it doesn't
[TS]
00:00:57
◼
►
do anybody any good to hear speculate
[TS]
00:00:59
◼
►
being wrong that we're going to learn is
[TS]
00:01:02
◼
►
shortly after but sometimes we get it
[TS]
00:01:05
◼
►
so with that in mind before anyone right

00:01:42
◼
►
listening to you for awhile for no
[TS]
00:01:44
◼
►
particular reason just because I guess
[TS]

just because I don't feel like I have a
[TS]
00:01:48
◼
►
lot of availability in my in my shedule

[TS]
00:02:00
◼
►

[TS]
00:02:02
◼
►
some sort of like sinus cleansing device

00:02:05
◼
►

[TS]
00:02:12
◼
►
yeah well that's the
[TS]
00:02:13
◼

thing and so on the one side I feel like
[TS]
00:02:15
◼
►
I think my sinuses are like clogged as
[TS]
00:02:18
◼
►
hell in and one of these neti pot like
[TS]
00:02:20
◼
►
things would theoretically clear it but
[TS]
00:02:23
◼
►
that being said I really do not want a
[TS]
00:02:26
◼
►
brain amoeba and so i will just pass and
[TS]
00:02:28
◼
►
sound like a moron for the rest of the
[TS]
00:02:30
◼
►
episode and not died from a brain amoeba
[TS]
00:02:33
◼
►
and I'll be okay with that now in in
[TS]
00:02:34
◼
►
fairness for the due by friday brain
[TS]
00:02:37
◼
►
squirting device that one that what did
[TS]
00:02:40
◼
►
have a microfilter of some kind that
[TS]
00:02:43
◼
►
purported to block the brain and
[TS]
00:02:44
◼
►
meatballs from entering your brain and
[TS]
00:02:46
◼
►
there's anybody you want to trust with
[TS]
00:02:47
◼
►
keeping microbes out of your body but
[TS]
00:02:49
◼
►
through use of a paper-thin filter CBS
[TS]
00:02:52
◼
►
it's a $14 thing at walgreens walgreens
[TS]
00:02:55
◼
►
sorry not CBS sorry that's a whole
[TS]
00:02:57
◼
►
different story
[TS]
00:02:58
◼
►
yeah it's walgreens then you're okay my
[TS]
00:03:01
◼
►
goodness so yes don't yell at Marco is
[TS]
00:03:03
◼
►
levels aren't wrong my levels aren't
[TS]
00:03:05
◼
►
wrong and sound weird
[TS]
00:03:06
◼
►
so see apologies for that we should
[TS]
00:03:09
◼
►
start with some follow-up we are aware
[TS]
00:03:12
◼
►
that you can use control center to
[TS]
00:03:15
◼
►
switch to air pods on iOS devices the
[TS]
00:03:17
◼
►
whole of the internet wrote in to tell
[TS]
00:03:19
◼
►
us this and this was very confusing for
[TS]
00:03:21
◼
►
John and I because we spoke about this
[TS]
00:03:24
◼
►
on the show and I didn't understand why
[TS]
00:03:27
◼
►
nobody spent the time to figure that out
[TS]
00:03:29
◼
►
and as it turns out we later discovered
[TS]
00:03:32
◼
►
that this was one of those instances
[TS]
00:03:34
◼
►
where Marco got a little aggressive with
[TS]
00:03:37
◼
►
the edits which a truth be told happens
[TS]
00:03:39
◼
►
extremely rarely but every great once in
[TS]
00:03:41
◼
►
a while something slip through the
[TS]
00:03:42
◼
►
cracks and this is one of those
[TS]
00:03:44
◼
►
instances where John and I discussed
[TS]
00:03:46
◼
►
this and it was in the midst of other
[TS]
00:03:50
◼
►
things that should have been cut and
[TS]
00:03:52
◼
►
apparently the slicing and dicing was
[TS]
00:03:54
◼
►
not quite surgical enough so we are
[TS]
00:03:56
◼
►
aware that you can use control swim
[TS]
00:03:58
◼
►
center to switch to airports on iOS
[TS]
00:04:00
◼
►
devices so thank you the entirety of the
[TS]
00:04:02
◼
►
internet for writing it but more
[TS]
00:04:04
◼
►
importantly for the people who listen to
[TS]
00:04:05
◼
►
the show the vast vast majority of
[TS]
00:04:07
◼
►
people that information was cut and they
[TS]
00:04:09
◼
►
didn't get the benefit of knowing that
[TS]
00:04:11
◼
►
is obviously the people who who wrote in
[TS]
00:04:13
◼
►
to tell us that we can use a control
[TS]
00:04:16
◼
►
you know like that i was surprised by
[TS]
00:04:19
◼
►
them running because I said oh you like
[TS]
00:04:21
◼
►
Marco sometimes people pause the show to
[TS]
00:04:23
◼
►
send feedback and then they resume
[TS]
00:04:25
◼
►
playing it and there's some
[TS]
00:04:27
◼
►
standard amount of feedback you get of
[TS]
00:04:28
◼
►
someone saying something that you know
[TS]
00:04:30
◼
►
will be addressed maybe 20 or 30 seconds
[TS]
00:04:33
◼
►
later in the show and that's fine that
[TS]
00:04:35
◼
►
happens all the time i do myself
[TS]
00:04:36
◼
►
everybody does it right
[TS]
00:04:37
◼
►
I usually expect to see one or two
[TS]
00:04:40
◼
►
pieces of feedback after that saying oh
[TS]
00:04:43
◼
►
haha should have waited 20 seconds and
[TS]
00:04:45
◼
►
you mentioned it but I didn't see any of
[TS]
00:04:47
◼
►
those was like this is weird
[TS]
00:04:49
◼
►
large volume of people apparently
[TS]
00:04:50
◼
►
pausing the podcast get feedback but
[TS]
00:04:53
◼
►
nobody saying oh sorry I should've kept
[TS]
00:04:55
◼
►
listening so that was that was my clue
[TS]
00:04:58
◼
►
that this was going on but anyway the
[TS]
00:05:00
◼
►
important piece of information denied to
[TS]
00:05:02
◼
►
all the other listeners who didn't know
[TS]
00:05:05
◼
►
or didn't listen live ya hit that that
[TS]
00:05:08
◼
►
you can do this if you have their pods
[TS]
00:05:10
◼
►
and multiple iOS devices you don't have
[TS]
00:05:13
◼
►
to go to settings and bluetooth and
[TS]
00:05:15
◼
►
switch it you can do it in control
[TS]
00:05:17
◼
►
center and it is more convenient so try
[TS]
00:05:19
◼
►
yeah and in to be clear just in case it
[TS]
00:05:21
◼
►
wasn't obvious there are two panes in
[TS]
00:05:23
◼
►
control center and it is the rightmost
[TS]
00:05:25
◼
►
pain there's a kind of a dropdownlist
[TS]
00:05:29
◼
►
ish thing on the bottom where you can
[TS]
00:05:31
◼
►
select your output device and that's
[TS]
00:05:33
◼
►
what you want and actually speaking of
[TS]
00:05:35
◼
►
control center one of the reasons that
[TS]
00:05:37
◼
►
it is not actually has a convenient for
[TS]
00:05:39
◼
►
me to use control center is because as
[TS]
00:05:41
◼
►
of right now I have control settled
[TS]
00:05:43
◼
►
control center disabled on my iPad
[TS]
00:05:46
◼
►
everybody except for springboard you
[TS]
00:05:48
◼
►
know that setting if you whether you
[TS]
00:05:50
◼
►
want to be able to swipe up and control
[TS]
00:05:51
◼
►
center either Justin springboard all
[TS]
00:05:53
◼
►
apps i figure how its phrase but anyway
[TS]
00:05:55
◼
►
I had to disable control center in
[TS]
00:05:58
◼
►
during in applications on my iPad which
[TS]
00:06:00
◼
►
is the main device i would be switching
[TS]
00:06:02
◼
►
to because of stage and which is an
[TS]
00:06:04
◼
►
excellent game that you should try but
[TS]
00:06:05
◼
►
involves a lot of swiping rapidly upward
[TS]
00:06:07
◼
►
from the bottom of your ipad huh and I
[TS]
00:06:09
◼
►
really don't want control center to
[TS]
00:06:11
◼
►
appear I don't even want the little
[TS]
00:06:12
◼
►
tabby thing to hear because you know it
[TS]
00:06:14
◼
►
makes you do it twice just to show that
[TS]
00:06:15
◼
►
you really mean it
[TS]
00:06:16
◼
►
that little tabby things appears and I'm
[TS]
00:06:18
◼
►
instantly dead so that's a great game
[TS]
00:06:21
◼
►
everyone should buy it and try it and
[TS]
00:06:24
◼
►
you can just control center first I love
[TS]
00:06:27
◼
►
the the style of that game i love the
[TS]
00:06:30
◼
►
music of the game i love the idea of
[TS]
00:06:31
◼
►
that game but my brain just can't do it
[TS]
00:06:34
◼
►
like I I know there's some kind of like
[TS]
00:06:36
◼
►
learning curve maybe and I try playing
[TS]
00:06:38
◼
►
it for like a good 15 minutes I could
[TS]
00:06:40
◼
►
I get my brain to do it right heated
[TS]
00:06:42
◼
►
it's not a learning curve there it is to
[TS]
00:06:45
◼
►
state machine there is i don't get the
[TS]
00:06:47
◼
►
game and then you'll cross the humongous
[TS]
00:06:50
◼
►
gap somehow magically and all of a
[TS]
00:06:51
◼
►
sudden you get the game that was my
[TS]
00:06:52
◼
►
experiences i was i was in the beta for
[TS]
00:06:55
◼
►
that game and I played I played a lot
[TS]
00:06:57
◼
►
during the beta right and my high score
[TS]
00:07:00
◼
►
was like one or two hundred for several
[TS]
00:07:04
◼
►
weeks and then as the day went on I I
[TS]
00:07:09
◼
►
got close to 400 and I was asking was
[TS]
00:07:12
◼
►
asking Kevin like what the mall people
[TS]
00:07:14
◼
►
get for high scores like I know it's
[TS]
00:07:15
◼
►
just the beta testers but like mi mi
[TS]
00:07:18
◼
►
just terrible at this game I like
[TS]
00:07:20
◼
►
average and he was saying there's a lot
[TS]
00:07:22
◼
►
of variability and so on and so forth
[TS]
00:07:23
◼
►
trying to make me feel better about my
[TS]
00:07:25
◼
►
fault my terrible high score but once
[TS]
00:07:28
◼
►
the game got closer to release that I
[TS]
00:07:30
◼
►
think it was actually around the time of
[TS]
00:07:31
◼
►
release
[TS]
00:07:32
◼
►
I my brain figure it out like figured
[TS]
00:07:35
◼
►
out how to play the game and instantly
[TS]
00:07:37
◼
►
went up into the thousands and you know
[TS]
00:07:40
◼
►
I haven't looked back so I wouldn't you
[TS]
00:07:42
◼
►
know it it's a fun game it's a cute
[TS]
00:07:45
◼
►
little trifle you can play with it but
[TS]
00:07:47
◼
►
unfortunately unlike altos adventure
[TS]
00:07:49
◼
►
unfortunately / fortunately once you
[TS]
00:07:51
◼
►
figure the game out it becomes
[TS]
00:07:53
◼
►
surprisingly time-consuming as you spend
[TS]
00:07:57
◼
►
your days plugging away at this thing
[TS]
00:07:59
◼
►
out but there is there is a big leap so
[TS]
00:08:01
◼
►
if you don't you know you don't ever
[TS]
00:08:02
◼
►
make that leap that's fine i still think
[TS]
00:08:04
◼
►
it's worth the three bucks over the game
[TS]
00:08:05
◼
►
costs just to play with it because it's
[TS]
00:08:07
◼
►
a really novel interesting idea
[TS]
00:08:09
◼
►
very well executed but there is another
[TS]
00:08:12
◼
►
game on the other side of it once you
[TS]
00:08:13
◼
►
once you cross the hurdle once you bring
[TS]
00:08:15
◼
►
gets the game and then you can like me
[TS]
00:08:17
◼
►
spend most your time being incredibly
[TS]
00:08:19
◼
►
frustrated that you made some tiny my
[TS]
00:08:21
◼
►
new mistake after playing for literally
[TS]
00:08:23
◼
►
20 minutes and just missed your high
[TS]
00:08:25
◼
►
score this sounds vaguely like the
[TS]
00:08:27
◼
►
smarter every day video with the
[TS]
00:08:30
◼
►
backwards bike
[TS]
00:08:31
◼
►
have you seen this it's al with where
[TS]
00:08:33
◼
►
they had it's like a gear or something
[TS]
00:08:35
◼
►
like that such that when you turned the
[TS]
00:08:37
◼
►
handle bars right the bike went left and
[TS]
00:08:39
◼
►
in if you watch the video spoiler alert
[TS]
00:08:42
◼
►
basically eventually just flip this
[TS]
00:08:45
◼
►
switch your brain just puts the switch
[TS]
00:08:46
◼
►
where it understands and then you can
[TS]
00:08:50
◼
►
actually to ride the bike also real-time
[TS]
00:08:52
◼
►
follow up this is an example
[TS]
00:08:54
◼
►
us saying something that we don't

that's actually kind of an amazing /

◼

is you know software assistance here
[TS]
00:10:57
◼

that they're probably using special

tools that have like a checklist script
[TS]
00:11:01
◼

they're going through each person and
[TS]
00:11:02
◼

Electro's yeah well but yet even just
[TS]
00:11:04
◼

like like i'm sure there's like a script

or like a checklist that each one
[TS]
00:11:07

and can probably keep a state of like
[TS]
00:11:09
◼

here's what i've done with this customer
[TS]
00:11:10
◼

so far so there's probably some kind of

00:11:13
◼

like special software designed to help

out and those can work fine too and i
[TS]
00:11:38
◼

think i would probably be mostly okay
[TS]
00:11:39
◼

with those it if it just you know i
[TS]
00:11:44
◼

would type in something and it would

repeat back to me its understanding of

the thing asking for confirmation and I

can get frustrating if you go around in

circles but if it just wants you to a

be good for you know covering at least

do that
[TS]

you haven't been able to boot from it
[TS]
00:12:54

more mature and obviously if it's going

00:13:03
◼
►
primetime the only reason it's not on
[TS]
00:13:05
◼

the max because the mac is obviously a
[TS]
00:13:06
◼

lower priority and he tweeted about this
[TS]
00:13:09
◼

will put some links in the show notes to

00:14:01
◼

he made it was going to be the official
[TS]
00:14:02
◼

00:16:25
◼
►
that's no big deal I've heard from
[TS]
00:16:27
◼
►
surprisingly few people about it because
[TS]
00:16:29
◼
►
creating playlists is not a very common
[TS]
00:16:31
◼
►
action you get the others list for free
[TS]
00:16:33
◼
►
and if you q things that's created

00:16:49
◼

00:16:51
◼
►
after you release the left you uploaded

00:16:53
◼
►
30 1301 cause the bug
[TS]
00:16:56
◼
►
there you go yeah yeah that's now that's
[TS]
00:16:59
◼
►
the point release because i was so it
[TS]
00:17:00
◼
►
was it was rapid turnaround like you had
[TS]
00:17:02
◼
►
three point one which had like a bunch
[TS]
00:17:04
◼
►
of little minor fixes and gotta prove
[TS]
00:17:05
◼
►
really quickly and went up on the store
[TS]
00:17:07
◼
►
it's like wow
[TS]
00:17:08
◼
►
everything's working at design but they
[TS]
00:17:09
◼
►
had a bug because 30 had had a pretty
[TS]
00:17:12
◼
►
serious bug where the gesture for
[TS]
00:17:15
◼
►
dismissing the now playing sheet it
[TS]
00:17:18
◼
►
would interfere with the speed sliders
[TS]
00:17:20
◼
►
little thumb if you would set the speed
[TS]
00:17:22
◼
►
to the very bottom setting the minus
[TS]
00:17:24
◼
►
which is like points7 extra point x1
[TS]
00:17:26
◼
►
like that so basically if you set this
[TS]
00:17:29
◼
►
be all the way down you could never
[TS]
00:17:30
◼
►
change it unless you have like an iPad
[TS]
00:17:32
◼
►
or something you could like sink it back
[TS]
00:17:33
◼
►
from and so that was a pretty serious
[TS]
00:17:35
◼
►
bug but I i had to get 301 out quickly
[TS]
00:17:40
◼

[TS]
00:17:41
◼

[TS]
00:17:42
◼
►
in you know whatever I could do quickly
[TS]
00:17:44
◼
►

[TS]
00:17:45
◼
►
to validate and everything
[TS]
00:17:47
◼
►

[TS]
00:17:48
◼
►
and I slipped up when fixing a playlist
[TS]
00:17:51
◼
►
reordering but basically I pulled the
[TS]
00:17:53
◼
►
place editor out of the card environment
[TS]
00:17:55
◼
►
because for various implementation
[TS]
00:17:58
◼
►
details that are born again into here
[TS]
00:18:01
◼
►
uitableview reorder controls break if
[TS]
00:18:05
◼
►
they're in a card that isn't mine now
[TS]
00:18:06
◼
►
playing card so i had to reach had to
[TS]
00:18:10
◼
►
revert the playlist editor back to the
[TS]
00:18:12
◼
►
regular environment which is not in a
[TS]
00:18:14
◼
►
car because it's a regular full screen
[TS]
00:18:15
◼
►
sheet and in doing that I mistakenly
[TS]
00:18:19
◼
►
forgot to readd the done button back to
[TS]
00:18:22
◼
►
it so now you can cancel the creation of
[TS]
00:18:24
◼
►
the playlist but you cannot finish it
[TS]
00:18:26
◼
►
surprising that your comprehensive suite

this stuff or do what I expected to do
[TS]
00:19:03
◼
►
and say whatever

00:19:11
◼
►
on under-the-radar talked about kind of
[TS]
00:19:13
◼
►
the idea of basically had like 30 was a
[TS]
00:19:17
◼
►
big release in terms of like how much
[TS]
00:19:20
◼
►
stuff changed but it was actually not a
[TS]
00:19:23
◼
►
big release in terms of like here's a
[TS]
00:19:25
◼
►
list of features that are new but
[TS]
00:19:27
◼
►
they're there are very few new features
[TS]
00:19:28
◼
►
and it's kind of an interesting thing to
[TS]
00:19:32
◼
►
do of like here's a new version of this
[TS]
00:19:35
◼
►
app there's been tons of work to it it's
[TS]
00:19:37
◼
►
a lot better but I can't tell you
[TS]
00:19:40
◼
►
everything new in it because it's not
[TS]
00:19:41
◼
►
it's not that kind of better like I it's
[TS]
00:19:44
◼
►
basically most of the work was in
[TS]
00:19:46
◼
►
revamping the UI and and it doesn't even
[TS]
00:19:49
◼
►
see it doesn't even look incredibly
[TS]
00:19:52
◼
►
different than how did before it just
[TS]
00:19:53
◼
►
works differently in certain in certain
[TS]
00:19:55
◼
►
places so like you know the whole card
[TS]
00:19:57
◼
►
you I with the now playing screen that
[TS]
00:19:59
◼
►
the two-stage episode selection now at
[TS]
00:20:02
◼
►
Monroe in the bottom of it those are the
[TS]
00:20:04
◼
►
big things and then you know the queuing
[TS]
00:20:06
◼
►
system that goes around the whole thing
[TS]
00:20:07
◼
►
and and kind of like moving all the
[TS]
00:20:09
◼
►
actions into visible places but it in a
[TS]
00:20:12
◼
►
similar way that it's hard for me to to
[TS]
00:20:15
◼
►
come up with like a feature change list
[TS]
00:20:17
◼
►
of here's the big new headline features
[TS]
00:20:19
◼
►
it's also hard for me to come up with
[TS]
00:20:20
◼
►
like what should I talk about like what
[TS]
00:20:23
◼
►
do you want to know I don't know jack
[TS]
00:20:24
◼
►
remember you i will be like what do you
[TS]
00:20:26
◼
►
think I should be covering here
[TS]
00:20:28
◼
►
chatroom wants to know why swipe to
[TS]
00:20:29
◼
►
delete is gone and having been on data
[TS]
00:20:32
◼
►
for how many months i thought it will
[TS]
00:20:33
◼
►
all eventually get used to it will go
[TS]
00:20:35
◼
►
away i'm still swiping up to get
[TS]
00:20:36
◼
►
something else FYI i mean not that I
[TS]
00:20:38
◼
►
don't mind because I don't delete them
[TS]
00:20:39
◼
►
that often like they go away when you
[TS]
00:20:41
◼
►
know I still have the setting that
[TS]
00:20:42
◼
►
deletes them when you finish listening
[TS]
00:20:43
◼
►
so it's not a thing that comes up often
[TS]
00:20:45
◼
►
but I've done it in the past week the
[TS]
00:20:48
◼
►
short version of why this is the way it
[TS]
00:20:50
◼
►
is and then you can yell at me for an
[TS]
00:20:52
◼
►
hour is the old way of like you have
[TS]
00:20:56
◼
►
your list of episodes you could swipe
[TS]
00:20:58
◼
►
one of the cells and it would reveal the
[TS]
00:21:00
◼
►
iOS standard tableview delete button
[TS]
00:21:02
◼
►
along with a couple other actions like
[TS]
00:21:04
◼
►
there was a star for recommending and
[TS]
00:21:06
◼
►
there's a download button there if it
[TS]
00:21:07
◼
►
wasn't downloaded this has always been
[TS]
00:21:09
◼
►
the way to delete episodes and overcast
[TS]
00:21:11
◼
►
you could you could also just listen to
[TS]
00:21:13
◼
►
them all the way through and the default
[TS]
00:21:15
◼
►
settings to delete after listening I got
[TS]
00:21:18
◼
►
so many emails and tweets over the last
[TS]
00:21:21
◼
►
two and a half years since one point out
[TS]
00:21:23
◼
►
with people asking how grandly episodes
[TS]
00:21:26
◼
►
or had a way to leave a message that
[TS]
00:21:28
◼
►
listening to them all the way through
[TS]
00:21:29
◼
►
which is kind of funny if you think
[TS]
00:21:31
◼
►
about that means people were actually
[TS]
00:21:32
◼
►
like trying to place all the way through
[TS]
00:21:33
◼
►
just to delete them and the reason why
[TS]
00:21:36
◼
►
is because I thought when I was
[TS]
00:21:37
◼
►
designing this app that you know of
[TS]
00:21:40
◼
►
course everyone using an iphone knows
[TS]
00:21:42
◼
►
that you swipe table views to delete you
[TS]
00:21:44
◼
►
know that that's that's obvious
[TS]
00:21:45
◼
►
everyone knows that right or you tap the
[TS]
00:21:47
◼
►
edit button in the corner and it shows
[TS]
00:21:48
◼
►
that elite controls and you then usually
[TS]
00:21:49
◼
►
from their people don't know this a lot
[TS]
00:21:52
◼
►
of people don't know this and you can
[TS]
00:21:54
◼
►
kind of understand why because if you
[TS]
00:21:56
◼
►
just get an iphone and you can start
[TS]
00:21:58
◼
►
using it like at no point do you really
[TS]
00:22:01
◼
►
need that like in the rest of the iphone
[TS]
00:22:04
◼
►
interface doesn't really like there's
[TS]
00:22:06
◼
►
always also delete button somewhere or
[TS]
00:22:08
◼
►
something out or it's in some contexts
[TS]
00:22:10
◼
►
like messages where it doesn't really
[TS]
00:22:11
◼
►
matter you look here where you don't
[TS]
00:22:13
◼
►
often delete entire conversation so I
[TS]
00:22:15
◼
►
a lot of people who use iphones don't
[TS]
00:22:19
◼
►
know like the the quote standards for
[TS]
00:22:21
◼
►
some of the other controls for things
[TS]
00:22:22
◼
►
like swiping table cells to show really
[TS]
00:22:24
◼
►
control or hitting the edit button to to
[TS]
00:22:26
◼
►
show other controls whatever else does
[TS]
00:22:27
◼
►
Apple Mail have a way to delete yeah
[TS]
00:22:29
◼
►
there's there's delete buttons right on
[TS]
00:22:30
◼
►
the bottom toolbar a huge design goal of
[TS]
00:22:33
◼
►
overcast through everything my post but
[TS]
00:22:35
◼
►
a huge angle overcast three was
[TS]
00:22:36
◼
►
basically to because you know every
[TS]
00:22:39
◼
►
every feature that I had that was hidden
[TS]
00:22:40
◼
►
behind of gesture people would find and
[TS]
00:22:43
◼
►
they would they would write in confused
[TS]
00:22:44
◼
►
or mad that I didn't have this feature
[TS]
00:22:46
◼
►
or disappointed and so my main goal with
[TS]
00:22:49
◼
►
overcast three was to take all of the
[TS]
00:22:51
◼
►
all the things I've learned with
[TS]
00:22:53
◼
►
two-and-a-half years of basically
[TS]
00:22:55
◼
►
feedback and user testing and try to
[TS]
00:22:57
◼
►
address as many design flaws as possible
[TS]
00:23:01
◼
►
I mean there's just there's so many
[TS]
00:23:03
◼
►
features so much functionality that I've
[TS]
00:23:05
◼
►
had since one point O that a good
[TS]
00:23:07
◼
►
portion of my users either can't find or
[TS]
00:23:09
◼
►
just assume i don't have or they
[TS]
00:23:11
◼
►
misunderstand
[TS]
00:23:12
◼
►
so it was very much like a a clarifying
[TS]
00:23:16
◼
►
release to clarify how things work and
[TS]
00:23:18
◼
►
then and etc you know and I knew going
[TS]
00:23:21
◼
►
into it I knew that the the you know now
[TS]
00:23:24
◼
►
playing being this card that's coming
[TS]
00:23:26
◼
►
from the bottom instead of navigation
[TS]
00:23:27
◼
►
pane such as the right I knew that would
[TS]
00:23:29
◼
►
be like you know a minor thing people
[TS]
00:23:30
◼
►
get used to quickly but i also know and
[TS]
00:23:32
◼
►
even said in the post that the the like
[TS]
00:23:35
◼
►
new two-stage really now you tap the
[TS]
00:23:37
◼
►
cell and rather than immediately playing
[TS]
00:23:40
◼
►
the episode it shows like a little
[TS]
00:23:42
◼
►
action menu kind of like when you select
[TS]
00:23:44
◼
►
a tweet tweet pot and there's buttons
[TS]
00:23:47
◼
►
and one the middle button there's play
[TS]
00:23:49
◼
►
and then one of the 12 the far right is
[TS]
00:23:51
◼
►
delete and i'm a little curious from
[TS]
00:23:53
◼
►
people like you guys and the entire chat
[TS]
00:23:56
◼
►
room and many people on twitter by the
[TS]
00:23:58
◼
►
way i should i should say before before
[TS]
00:24:00
◼
►
i can make just like that the response
[TS]
00:24:02
◼
►
to this update has been massively
[TS]
00:24:04
◼
►
positive that i am very very happy with
[TS]
00:24:07
◼
►
the with the response it has been very
[TS]
00:24:09
◼
►
very positive and for something that
[TS]
00:24:11
◼
►
changes so many things that's a bit more
[TS]
00:24:14
◼
►
positive reaction than I would have
[TS]
00:24:16
◼
►
guessed so anyway that that aside for
[TS]
00:24:19
◼
►
the people who are not so positive about
[TS]
00:24:21
◼
►
it because of this new like now it takes
[TS]
00:24:23
◼
►
two taps to delete something thing it
[TS]
00:24:26
◼
►
always took to temporarily something
[TS]
00:24:27
◼
►
before it was swiped
[TS]
00:24:29
◼
►
tap now it's tap tap so I'm kind of
[TS]
00:24:33
◼
►
curious like why I mean it's different
[TS]
00:24:35
◼
►
but is it actually worse now you know
[TS]
00:24:38
◼
►
why I do that case and I shouldn't don't
[TS]
00:24:40
◼
►
don't give him the answer Karen downtown
[TS]
00:24:41
◼
►
market will explain to us why why this
[TS]
00:24:44
◼
►
there's get back what I I understand the
[TS]
00:24:48
◼
►
people who don't like there's two taps
[TS]
00:24:50
◼
►
to play something I understand that
[TS]
00:24:52
◼
►
because there was one tab before and now
[TS]
00:24:54
◼
►
it's too even though it's much less
[TS]
00:24:55
◼
►
error-prone now in the interfaces way
[TS]
00:24:57
◼
►
clear for everybody but why is it worse
[TS]
00:25:00
◼
►
to have to delete be two taps instead of
[TS]
00:25:03
◼
►
a swipe and tap and now the other part
[TS]
00:25:05
◼
►
of markets bringing around to answer
[TS]
00:25:06
◼
►
that question
[TS]
00:25:07
◼
►
good i don't know I honestly like I go I
[TS]
00:25:11
◼
►
know you can do it gets it i know you
[TS]
00:25:12
◼
►
could do it it's just different but is
[TS]
00:25:14
◼
►
it worse
[TS]
00:25:16
◼
►
nice it's actually easier to do is more
[TS]
00:25:18
◼
►
precise because that's what that one of
[TS]
00:25:20
◼
►
the reasons was that the swipe to delete
[TS]
00:25:22
◼
►
I would often accidentally start playing
[TS]
00:25:25
◼
►
the episode so let me give you my answer
[TS]
00:25:28
◼
►
which i think is the same as John's but
[TS]
00:25:29
◼
►
who knows
[TS]
00:25:30
◼
►
my answer is you should never ever ever
[TS]
00:25:33
◼
►
deviate from what is the norm on the
[TS]
00:25:35
◼
►
platform and so the norm on the platform
[TS]
00:25:38
◼
►
is if you want to do some sort of
[TS]
00:25:39
◼
►
destructive change like that in a quick
[TS]
00:25:41
◼
►
like gestural way you swipe from right
[TS]
00:25:44
◼
►
to left and there will be some sort of
[TS]
00:25:46
◼
►
destructive action that you can take
[TS]
00:25:47
◼
►
right then and there and like you said
[TS]
00:25:49
◼
►
previously Marco that's on pretty much
[TS]
00:25:51
◼
►
every table view in the system that
[TS]
00:25:53
◼
►
allows you to remove a table bureau and
[TS]
00:25:56
◼
►
so because i don't think this is
[TS]
00:25:59
◼
►
exclusively a power user thing although
[TS]
00:26:01
◼
►
it certainly in my mind excuse towards
[TS]
00:26:04
◼
►
power users but you should never fight
[TS]
00:26:07
◼
►
the frameworks and you which you've done
[TS]
00:26:09
◼
►
with this table you actually in many
[TS]
00:26:11
◼
►
oh you shouldn't and you should never
[TS]
00:26:13
◼
►
fight the hague the human interface
[TS]
00:26:14
◼
►
guidelines and and I feel like you're
[TS]
00:26:16
◼
►
fighting the hague now I haven't beaten
[TS]
00:26:18
◼
►
you up about this too bad previously
[TS]
00:26:20
◼
►
because I understand where your head's
[TS]
00:26:21
◼
►
at and it makes sense to me that for the
[TS]
00:26:24
◼
►
overwhelming majority of users i bet you
[TS]
00:26:26
◼
►
anything this was a positive change but
[TS]
00:26:27
◼
►
for someone like me and thinking
[TS]
00:26:29
◼
►
completely myopically you're behaving
[TS]
00:26:31

differently than the rest of the
[TS]
00:26:32
◼

platform and that feels gross in the
[TS]
00:26:34
◼
►
same way that you get that grossed out
[TS]
00:26:36
◼
►
feeling when you look at a material
[TS]
00:26:38
◼

design google app on iphone using google
[TS]
00:26:41
◼

apps on my phone
[TS]
00:26:42
◼

you know what I mean that like it's
[TS]
00:26:44
◼
►
that's a bit unfair comparison and a bit
[TS]
00:26:46
◼
►
slanders to be to be fair because you
[TS]
00:26:49
◼
►
are nowhere near that that out of left
[TS]
00:26:51
◼

field but it's a similar scenario right
[TS]
00:26:53
◼
►
where you have something that doesn't
[TS]
00:26:54
◼
►
quite feel right but it doesn't quite
[TS]
00:26:58
◼

feel right to a power user or even a

00:27:01

moderate power user I think to most

people your I I think you made the right

change even though it drives me batty

00:27:08

well let me let me just boil that down

to a more to it and a simpler more
[TS]
00:27:13
◼

visceral answer everything you said is
[TS]
00:27:16

right but the result the result of that
[TS]
00:27:18
◼

is at bottom line i keep swiping things
[TS]
00:27:21
◼
►
that's that's the bottom line
[TS]
00:27:23
◼
►
after many many weeks i keep swiping and
[TS]
00:27:24
◼
►
it's not a big deal and that the
[TS]
00:27:26
◼
►
discoverability is a hundred percent
[TS]
00:27:27
◼
►
like I'm even though is non-standard in
[TS]
00:27:30
◼
►
the same way that sweet spot is
[TS]
00:27:31
◼
►
non-standard i like it like it is good
[TS]
00:27:33
◼
►
because you have a complicated
[TS]
00:27:35
◼
►
application and I think this is better
[TS]
00:27:36
◼
►
and discoverability there's no arguing
[TS]
00:27:37
◼
►
is that you were getting tons of
[TS]
00:27:38
◼
►
feedback about discoverability people
[TS]
00:27:39
◼
►
will find the trash cannot come on they
[TS]
00:27:41
◼
►
could hundred percent on that but why
[TS]
00:27:43
◼
►
why do people complain it's not about
[TS]
00:27:45
◼
►
speed is not about efficiency
[TS]
00:27:47
◼
►
why do I keep swiping my case he said
[TS]
00:27:49
◼
►
because I swipe everywhere else again
[TS]
00:27:51
◼
►
can't convince my stupid thumbs not to
[TS]
00:27:52
◼
►
swipe and and everything you said about
[TS]
00:27:56
◼
►
why you and why you added the bar and
[TS]
00:27:58
◼
►
discoverability all that's a hundred
[TS]
00:27:59
◼
►
percent true but exactly in the same way
[TS]
00:28:01
◼
►
that that a underscore convince you to
[TS]
00:28:05
◼
►
make a sideways so that swype
[TS]
00:28:06
◼
►
inexplicably do a thing that should
[TS]
00:28:08
◼
►
totally not do this because that's the
[TS]
00:28:09
◼
►
way the old one work you keep the same
[TS]
00:28:11
◼
►
controls exactly where they are but if
[TS]
00:28:14
◼
►
my finger stupid swype so the umpteenth
[TS]
00:28:16
◼
►
time just let it delete but that's all
[TS]
00:28:18
◼
►
I'm asking for like keep exactly the
[TS]
00:28:20
◼
►
same stuff that's in there now make a
[TS]
00:28:22
◼
►
discovery also and so forth but for the
[TS]
00:28:24
◼
►
admittedly very small handful of people
[TS]
00:28:27
◼
►
and that's why this is not a big deal
[TS]
00:28:28
◼
►
that's why three-point always in that
[TS]
00:28:29
◼
►
win no matter what even if you never had
[TS]
00:28:31
◼
►
this feature back but for the small
[TS]
00:28:33
◼
►
handful of people who are either on this
[TS]
00:28:34
◼
►
podcast with your in chatroom stupid
[TS]
00:28:38
◼
►
thumbs keep swiping
[TS]
00:28:39
◼
►
this is another case to do one of those
[TS]
00:28:41
◼
►
features just like the one was referring
[TS]
00:28:44
◼
►
to the underscore talk you into which
[TS]
00:28:45
◼
►
was the old gesture was to get rid of
[TS]
00:28:47
◼
►
now playing you could swipe the side
[TS]
00:28:48
◼
►
even though the new one comes up from
[TS]
00:28:49
◼
►
the bottom you still made swipe the side
[TS]
00:28:51
◼
►
work because it's no skin off else's
[TS]
00:28:53
◼
►
back no one else is going to discover it
[TS]
00:28:54
◼
►
except for people have muscle
[TS]
00:28:56
◼
►
i'm here from the old overcast guess
[TS]
00:28:57
◼
►
what I can make that work for you to now
[TS]
00:28:58
◼
►
maybe a pain in the butt to make swipe
[TS]
00:29:00
◼
►
to delete work in the context of
[TS]
00:29:03
◼
►
whatever unholy things that you've done
[TS]
00:29:04
◼
►
to the table view to make it so super
[TS]
00:29:06
◼
►
custom and by the way i love the fact
[TS]
00:29:07
◼
►
that you can reorder now with the little
[TS]
00:29:09
◼
►
grippy tabs everywhere so you know again
[TS]
00:29:11
◼
►
it's totally a net win but for this tiny
[TS]
00:29:13
◼
►
little minor feature you know it would
[TS]
00:29:16
◼
►
be neat if the old muscle memory still
[TS]
00:29:18
◼
►
worked and i guess i'll probably
[TS]
00:29:20
◼
►
eventually get you stuff but I thought
[TS]
00:29:21
◼
►
whatever got used to it by now and I
[TS]
00:29:23
◼
►
think it's exactly what case he said if
[TS]
00:29:25
◼
►
the whole rest of the system is training
[TS]
00:29:27
◼
►
me again and again to swipe to delete
[TS]
00:29:28
◼
►
it's very difficult to sort of
[TS]
00:29:30
◼
►
contextual the untrained myself from
[TS]
00:29:32
◼
►
that gesture on something that looks for
[TS]
00:29:34
◼
►
all the world like a table view as a
[TS]
00:29:36
◼
►
general rule use standard gestures
[TS]
00:29:37
◼
►
people are familiar with the standard
[TS]
00:29:39
◼
►
gestures and don't appreciate being
[TS]
00:29:40
◼
►
forced to learn different ways to do the
[TS]
00:29:41
◼
►
same thing in games another immersive
[TS]
00:29:43
◼
►
apps custom gestures can be a fun part
[TS]
00:29:45
◼
►
of the experience and other apps it's
[TS]
00:29:46
◼
►
best to use the standard gesture so
[TS]
00:29:48
◼
►
extra effort isn't needed to discover or
[TS]
00:29:49
◼
►
remember them straight out of the hague
[TS]
00:29:51
◼
►
all right so you guys make good points i
[TS]
00:29:55
◼
►
don't i don't disagree with a lot of
[TS]
00:29:56
◼
►
what you're saying I actually the idea
[TS]
00:29:58
◼
►
of doing both of adding the swipes back
[TS]
00:30:02
◼
►
actually never occurred to me until this
[TS]
00:30:04
◼
►
moment there is probably something I'm
[TS]
00:30:08
◼
►
doing to that table view that would make
[TS]
00:30:10
◼
►
that probably not work well you don't
[TS]
00:30:13
◼
►
like growing glitches come on that's
[TS]
00:30:15
◼
►
also part of the fun
[TS]
00:30:16
◼
►
i will try it because I I admit like if
[TS]
00:30:19
◼
►
I can do that with with no horrible side
[TS]
00:30:21
◼
►
effects then it is kind of a no-brainer
[TS]
00:30:24
◼
►
to offer that affords to have both like
[TS]
00:30:26
◼
►
little orange bar appear as the thing
[TS]
00:30:28
◼
►
above it swipe sideways in the orange
[TS]
00:30:29
◼
►
bar starts to get clipped and filled
[TS]
00:30:31
◼
►
with me so awesome
[TS]
00:30:32
◼
►
you have no idea what I've done to poor
[TS]
00:30:34
◼
►
uitableview and I would yeah whatever
[TS]
00:30:36
◼
►
tweet but did I same type of thing like
[TS]
00:30:38
◼
►
this and to be fair like I don't have to
[TS]
00:30:41
◼
►
but was the originator of this thing but
[TS]
00:30:42
◼
►
a lot of applications do this where they
[TS]
00:30:44
◼
►
were they want to have more stuff for
[TS]
00:30:47
◼
►
you to do a tableview they can't all fit
[TS]
00:30:50
◼
►
under magic edit button where you go
[TS]
00:30:51
◼
►
into a mode right and so they do this
[TS]
00:30:53
◼
►
thing where it reveals more controls
[TS]
00:30:56
◼
►
when you tap the thing I think that
[TS]
00:30:57
◼
►
itself even though it's not a nigger
[TS]
00:30:59
◼
►
whatever is kind of standard and tried
[TS]
00:31:01
◼
►
and true but since you can't delete the
[TS]
00:31:02
◼
►
tweet tweet but never had to deal with
[TS]
00:31:04
◼
►
like as you can
[TS]
00:31:05
◼
►
speaking with you can't believe its weak
[TS]
00:31:06
◼
►
but it's that was sweet but doing you
[TS]
00:31:08
◼
►
swipe I guess I don't delete
[TS]
00:31:09
◼
►
sweet as often as i type i think is view
[TS]
00:31:11
◼
►
conversation yeah then there's two
[TS]
00:31:12
◼
►
different directions one of the few
[TS]
00:31:13
◼
►
times you know i think is favorite oh
[TS]
00:31:15
◼
►
that's right they used both directions
[TS]
00:31:16
◼
►
for the for the yeah yeah no I mean so
[TS]
00:31:20
◼
►
okay so there's a number of things to
[TS]
00:31:22
◼
►
respond to hear one of them is when
[TS]
00:31:26
◼
►
you're thinking about like how this app
[TS]
00:31:28
◼
►
should be or how this thing should be
[TS]
00:31:29
◼
►
actually like you know work through the
[TS]
00:31:32
◼
►
entire thing in your head to see like
[TS]
00:31:33
◼
►
you know maybe like to maybe think like
[TS]
00:31:36
◼
►
maybe there's a reason why doesn't that
[TS]
00:31:37
◼
►
way right or maybe that would present
[TS]
00:31:39
◼
►
more challenges and then we often just
[TS]
00:31:41
◼
►
like we're trying to like you know as as
[TS]
00:31:43
◼
►
our armchair people trying to tell Apple
[TS]
00:31:45
◼
►
what to do
[TS]
00:31:46
◼
►
like what if they did that like how
[TS]
00:31:47
◼
►
would that what are the other
[TS]
00:31:48
◼
►
ramifications of that so if if I didn't
[TS]
00:31:52
◼
►
do the button bar thing if I kept the
[TS]
00:31:53
◼
►
Delete in there
[TS]
00:31:54
◼
►
what other way that how else could i
[TS]
00:31:57
◼
►
make it actually discoverable people and
[TS]
00:31:59
◼
►
so the way that the Apple has to do with
[TS]
00:32:01
◼
►
that are all that you know you're
[TS]
00:32:02
◼
►
reading from the Higgs if this is the
[TS]
00:32:03
◼
►
gospel well get to that next but the way
[TS]
00:32:06
◼
►
they do it is on the resulting screen so
[TS]
00:32:09
◼
►
its look at mail mail is always a good
[TS]
00:32:11
◼
►
example of like standard UI kit
[TS]
00:32:13
◼
►
stop it is always good inspiration a
[TS]
00:32:15
◼
►
reference point for that so look at mail
[TS]
00:32:17
◼
►
with male you open the message as if you
[TS]
00:32:20
◼
►
see if you assume that you don't know
[TS]
00:32:21
◼
►
how to swype on table cells to delete
[TS]
00:32:24
◼
►
things which most people don't
[TS]
00:32:25
◼
►
if you open the message in the message
[TS]
00:32:27
◼
►
window there's delete button so if you
[TS]
00:32:30
◼
►
don't know how to stop on the table view
[TS]
00:32:31
◼
►
you're still seeing delete buttons all
[TS]
00:32:33
◼
►
the time so if I were to go down this
[TS]
00:32:36
◼
►
path with overcast intent to have to to
[TS]
00:32:40
◼
►
have like you know single tap to open
[TS]
00:32:42
◼
►
the message and to have a swipe offer
[TS]
00:32:45
◼
►
the delete or you know sales have to be
[TS]
00:32:47
◼
►
completed by the way had before
[TS]
00:32:49
◼
►
how else could i make delete more
[TS]
00:32:52
◼
►
discoverable so one way to do it would
[TS]
00:32:54
◼
►
be if i put delete in the info pane
[TS]
00:32:56
◼
►
which I could do what I forget whether I
[TS]
00:32:58
◼
►
did it or not but I could do that you
[TS]
00:33:00
◼
►
have delete be one of the buttons in the
[TS]
00:33:01
◼
►
info pane but in typical playback you're
[TS]
00:33:05
◼
►
not using the info pane typical playback
[TS]
00:33:07
◼
►
you're hitting the episode then it
[TS]
00:33:09
◼
►
begins playing in the screen if it's
[TS]
00:33:10
◼
►
this way and so it would have to be in
[TS]
00:33:13
◼
►
the now playing screen so now look at
[TS]
00:33:15
◼
►
the now playing screen where I put it
[TS]
00:33:18
◼
►
no no one's arguing that you should get
[TS]
00:33:21
◼
►
rid of the bar at least I'm certainly
[TS]
00:33:22
◼
►
wasn't I told me you okay people are you
[TS]
00:33:24
◼
►
have to it's different but I'm saying
[TS]
00:33:26
◼
►
like batting swipe to delete as a
[TS]
00:33:29
◼
►
shortcut for the people who happen to
[TS]
00:33:30
◼
►
know which is it definitely a tiny
[TS]
00:33:32
◼
►
detail nice to have thing that is not
[TS]
00:33:33
◼
►
essential for a three-point know that's
[TS]
00:33:35
◼
►
why i said the bar is obviously an
[TS]
00:33:36
◼
►
improvement like just you know hundred
[TS]
00:33:38
◼
►
percent and in fact I think you can it's
[TS]
00:33:41
◼
►
not obvious to a lot of people on
[TS]
00:33:42
◼
►
twitter at well that I think that the
[TS]
00:33:47
◼
►
other thing the bar it gives you looking
[TS]
00:33:48
◼
►
at it is i don't know how much metrics
[TS]
00:33:51
◼
►
are collecting in terms of usage but you
[TS]
00:33:53
◼
►
have a lot of room
[TS]
00:33:54
◼
►
not a lot at and I don't know what a how
[TS]
00:33:59
◼
►
common the you know add to playlist you
[TS]
00:34:01
◼
►
know the plus hamburger thing and the
[TS]
00:34:04
◼
►
star thing are or even the shit like you
[TS]
00:34:07
◼
►
have enough room to actually use that
[TS]
00:34:09
◼
►
bar as a place to highlight new features
[TS]
00:34:11
◼
►
in 4.0 or whatever as they come
[TS]
00:34:15
◼
►
and I think it's important to have a
[TS]
00:34:16
◼
►
moment like that and burying it under
[TS]
00:34:18
◼
►
info or putting on the now playing
[TS]
00:34:19
◼
►
screeching halt much worse this is
[TS]
00:34:21
◼
►
merely a question of and I don't
[TS]
00:34:23
◼
►
understand how this is spun out into the
[TS]
00:34:24
◼
►
giant big thing is this is such a minor
[TS]
00:34:26
◼
►
thing like this is not a problem with
[TS]
00:34:28
◼
►
the application at all it's just like
[TS]
00:34:30
◼
►
it's a problem with my thumb still doing
[TS]
00:34:32
◼
►
a thing and I'm just exploring why it
[TS]
00:34:33
◼
►
might do that is to continue to provide
[TS]
00:34:36
◼
►
affordances for the tiny amount of
[TS]
00:34:38
◼
►
people who who are used to or their
[TS]
00:34:42
◼
►
thumbs are used to doing a certain thing
[TS]
00:34:44
◼
►
in a way that doesn't attract it all
[TS]
00:34:46

from the increased discoverability
[TS]
00:34:48
◼
►
provided by the little bar if people
[TS]
00:34:49
◼
►
arguing against the bar entirely to go
[TS]
00:34:51
◼
►
back to the old way I think they
[TS]
00:34:52
◼
►
probably doesn't have been using the app
[TS]
00:34:54
◼
►
long enough because when i first started
[TS]
00:34:55
◼
►
using with a little bar to it feels
[TS]
00:34:57
◼
►
weird you used to using overcast for at
[TS]
00:34:58
◼
►
this point like 10 years right
[TS]
00:35:00
◼
►
use the tapping to play a thing and you
[TS]
00:35:02
◼
►
tap the play thing in the podcast
[TS]
00:35:03
◼
►
doesn't start playing that's something I
[TS]
00:35:07
◼
►
got used to and it's not as if the first
[TS]
00:35:10
◼
►
type doesn't do anything
[TS]
00:35:11
◼
►
the first step reveals the bar so it's
[TS]
00:35:12
◼
►
not like with swiping where the swiping
[TS]
00:35:14
◼
►
just literally does nothing does not
[TS]
00:35:15
◼
►
give you any progress towards your
[TS]
00:35:17
◼
►
delete action you're trying to perform
[TS]
00:35:18
◼
►
tapping reveals the bar you have a
[TS]
00:35:21
◼
►
visual cue that there's something else
[TS]
00:35:22
◼
►
that you have to do and usually i'm
[TS]
00:35:24
◼
►
doing playlist anyway so just playing
[TS]
00:35:25
◼
►
one after the other so it's not a big
[TS]
00:35:27
◼
►
yeah I again I until this podcast did
[TS]
00:35:30
◼
►
not even consider the idea of leaving
[TS]
00:35:31
◼
►
the swine
[TS]
00:35:32
◼
►
buttons in and also leaving the bar in
[TS]
00:35:34
◼
►
so I i actually I'm gonna go to see if I
[TS]
00:35:37
◼
►
can do that easily without massive
[TS]
00:35:39
◼
►
horrible side effects because of my
[TS]
00:35:40
◼
►
table you abuse that you have in the old
[TS]
00:35:42
◼
►
1i don't even know if you had this did
[TS]
00:35:44
◼
►
you have the mail style SuperDuper swipe
[TS]
00:35:46
◼
►
it was like three buttons over there
[TS]
00:35:48
◼
►
yeah I had that like where you go all
[TS]
00:35:50
◼
►
the way to the end just deletes it
[TS]
00:35:51
◼
►
oh no that was never made available it
[TS]
00:35:53
◼
►
male always that whatever tableview male
[TS]
00:35:56
◼
►
uses always gets cool features like that
[TS]
00:35:59
◼
►
before they're available in the public
[TS]
00:36:00
◼
►
API so like like they they had the first
[TS]
00:36:03
◼
►
action buttons there for I think an
[TS]
00:36:04
◼
►
entire iOS version before it was easy to
[TS]
00:36:06
◼
►
do that you do that with other ways and
[TS]
00:36:08
◼
►
and then they later once they gave us
[TS]
00:36:11
◼
►
the API to make those action buttons
[TS]
00:36:12
◼
►
then mail got the ability to have the
[TS]
00:36:14
◼
►
full drag all the way across four delete
[TS]
00:36:16
◼
►
and I've I don't they ever made
[TS]
00:36:17
◼
►
available to anybody but that's a cool
[TS]
00:36:19
◼
►
feature i hope it doesn't come to table
[TS]
00:36:21
◼
►
views because it's it's definitely like
[TS]
00:36:23
◼
►
they were getting into the realm of like
[TS]
00:36:24
◼
►
not expert features but features that
[TS]
00:36:27
◼
►
hopefully never bother anybody
[TS]
00:36:30
◼
►
if you don't know they exist but once
[TS]
00:36:31
◼
►
you know they exist it becomes like
[TS]
00:36:33
◼
►
addictive to be able to goshen just you
[TS]
00:36:35
◼
►
know knockout think the only thing i
[TS]
00:36:36
◼
►
don't like about that feature is that if
[TS]
00:36:38
◼
►
you swipe up if you swipe mail messages
[TS]
00:36:41
◼
►
left there's an unread option is on the
[TS]
00:36:43
◼
►
side which does anything like you swipe
[TS]
00:36:44
◼
►
hard enough and just mark and right
[TS]
00:36:45
◼
►
that's cool if you swipe it right you
[TS]
00:36:48
◼
►
have that super mode where if you try to
[TS]
00:36:50
◼
►
far enough to just delete it and if and
[TS]
00:36:52
◼
►
far most button is trash but the other
[TS]
00:36:54
◼
►
two buttons that offers are more and
[TS]
00:36:56
◼
►
flag and so if you're opening that menu
[TS]
00:37:00
◼
►
in order to flag the message that's kind
[TS]
00:37:03
◼
►
of the opposite of putting in the trash
[TS]
00:37:04
◼
►
but if you drag just very slightly too
[TS]
00:37:07
◼
►
far and open the message up to delete it
[TS]
00:37:09
◼
►
yeah it's it's a fine line with the with
[TS]
00:37:11
◼
►
the swiping well it's it's a bad
[TS]
00:37:13
◼
►
decision like to me i think that that
[TS]
00:37:15
◼
►
everything that's not trash should be on
[TS]
00:37:18
◼
►
the other direction swipe menu if
[TS]
00:37:19
◼
►
they're gonna do that but if you're
[TS]
00:37:20
◼
►
going to have this all the way swipe
[TS]
00:37:22
◼
►
gesture because it's too easy to do this
[TS]
00:37:25
◼
►
destructive action when you're trying to
[TS]
00:37:27
◼
►
do flag or more i have the opposite
[TS]
00:37:29
◼
►
problem where i guess im to lazy with
[TS]
00:37:32
◼
►
the swipe and I wanted to delete it but
[TS]
00:37:34
◼
►
it didn't quite go far enough and have
[TS]
00:37:36
◼
►
to give a second attempt on it but i can
[TS]
00:37:37
◼
►
see the opposite being church with is
[TS]
00:37:38
◼
►
definitely with anything gestural that's
[TS]
00:37:40
◼
►
the problem
[TS]
00:37:41
◼
►
that's the good thing about the bathroom
[TS]
00:37:42
◼
►
i just really feel so good when they're
[TS]
00:37:43
◼
►
right but you get it's like game
[TS]
00:37:45
◼
►
controlling the video game you get a
[TS]
00:37:46
◼
►
little bit wrong and because it's not a
[TS]
00:37:49
◼
►
precise thing because it is inherently a
[TS]
00:37:51
◼
►
fuzzy thing it's really difficult to get
[TS]
00:37:53
◼
►
sort of the you know the control scheme
[TS]
00:37:54
◼
►
just right for everybody and everybody's
[TS]
00:37:56
◼
►
a little bit different as opposed to the
[TS]
00:37:58
◼
►
much more analytical world of pointers
[TS]
00:38:01
◼
►
and mouse control and how big targets
[TS]
00:38:03
◼
►
have to be you can it it's easier to
[TS]
00:38:06
◼
►
measure that is generally a more precise
[TS]
00:38:08
◼
►
thing although you know you mean you did
[TS]
00:38:10
◼
►
the basics here for the little bar
[TS]
00:38:11
◼
►
trashes far away from the play button
[TS]
00:38:14
◼
►
play is not all out a lasting traction
[TS]
00:38:16
◼
►
all around the right because the middle
[TS]
00:38:17
◼
►
is easier to hit the edges of the screen
[TS]
00:38:18
◼
►
like it's even you know that everything
[TS]
00:38:21
◼
►
you've just described about the
[TS]
00:38:22
◼
►
ergonomics of where items are in
[TS]
00:38:24
◼
►
relation to each other and how easy it
[TS]
00:38:25
◼
►
is to accidently is revealed in the bar
[TS]
00:38:27
◼
►
don't think you can maybe argue about is
[TS]
00:38:29
◼
►
whether the center is appropriate for
[TS]
00:38:31
◼
►
play but i think it is
[TS]
00:38:34
◼
►
yeah yeah I'd that i don't i don't think
[TS]
00:38:36
◼
►
i would hear any arguments about that i
[TS]
00:38:38
◼
►
think it again it's like it's like if
[TS]
00:38:40
◼
►
you think about where where else would
[TS]
00:38:41
◼
►
you put these things like it you come to
[TS]
00:38:43
◼
►
pretty similar conclusions i think with
[TS]
00:38:45
◼
►
a lot of this stuff anyway so yeah i'll
[TS]
00:38:48
◼
►
look into the double gesture thing
[TS]
00:38:49
◼
►
because that that that does make some
[TS]
00:38:50
◼
►
sense i do want to address though the
[TS]
00:38:52
◼
►
the whole like you know Hague adherence
[TS]
00:38:55
◼
►
to standards everything else as as
[TS]
00:38:58
◼
►
gospel at apple and and for those who
[TS]
00:39:01
◼
►
don't know his the human interface
[TS]
00:39:03
◼
►
guidelines it's been a document apple
[TS]
00:39:04
◼
►
has published forever
[TS]
00:39:06
◼
►
I and they revise it over time with new
[TS]
00:39:08
◼
►
os's and a new you know new knowledge
[TS]
00:39:10
◼
►
but basically it's like how it's like
[TS]
00:39:13
◼
►
the standards for how your interface
[TS]
00:39:14
◼
►
should look at work and be laid out it
[TS]
00:39:17
◼
►
for apples platforms over the years has
[TS]
00:39:20
◼
►
always been to debate over the hague and
[TS]
00:39:21
◼
►
whether it's okay to violate it went ok
[TS]
00:39:24
◼
►
to violate it and it's I think it's
[TS]
00:39:26
◼
►
similar to like rules of grammar for
[TS]
00:39:29
◼
►
poetry you know I think it's like you're
[TS]
00:39:32
◼
►
allowed to violate the heck if you if
[TS]
00:39:33
◼
►
you know what you're doing and you have
[TS]
00:39:35
◼
►
good reason
[TS]
00:39:36
◼
►
basically or you know like it's not like
[TS]
00:39:38
◼
►
the set in stone thing it and apple
[TS]
00:39:41
◼
►
violates the hague all the time with
[TS]
00:39:43
◼
►
their own apps like the they blatantly
[TS]
00:39:45
◼
►
violated and they don't care because
[TS]
00:39:48
◼
►
they think they know better and in many
[TS]
00:39:51
◼
►
cases that's true i am a developer for
[TS]
00:39:55
◼
►
years I said I'm not a designer
[TS]
00:39:58
◼
►
and when it became clear to me that I
[TS]
00:40:01
◼
►
was doing the vast majority of the
[TS]
00:40:03
◼
►
design in my apps i stop saying that I
[TS]
00:40:06
◼
►
think now no matter what anyone else
[TS]
00:40:08
◼
►
says I think of myself as an app
[TS]
00:40:11
◼
►
developer and designer combo in one even
[TS]
00:40:14
◼
►
though I'm not as good at the design
[TS]
00:40:15
◼
►
part of them the development part I now
[TS]
00:40:17
◼
►
do both of those rules i think that i
[TS]
00:40:20
◼
►
now have a good enough design sense that
[TS]
00:40:23
◼
►
I I can judge or I I can kind of have
[TS]
00:40:28
◼
►
some leeway in deciding when to break a
[TS]
00:40:31
◼
►
standard rule and it doesn't always work
[TS]
00:40:33
◼
►
sometimes after all back I have lots of
[TS]
00:40:35
◼
►
crazy ideas and make them are awful but
[TS]
00:40:37
◼
►
i think i now have earned myself the
[TS]
00:40:41
◼
►
right to break rules sometimes because
[TS]
00:40:44
◼
►
the fact is in order to do good design
[TS]
00:40:47
◼
►
and especially order to move things
[TS]
00:40:48
◼
►
forward you have to break the rules the
[TS]
00:40:51
◼
►
rules were never written to be gospel
[TS]
00:40:53
◼
►
they were never written to be here two
[TS]
00:40:54
◼
►
hundred percent at as soon as any
[TS]
00:40:57
◼
►
version of the pig is published Apple
[TS]
00:40:59
◼
►
already has apps out there that violated
[TS]
00:41:01
◼
►
all over the place because the hey guys
[TS]
00:41:04
◼
►
it's kind of like using stock UI kit
[TS]
00:41:06
◼
►
controls with stock themes on them it's
[TS]
00:41:09
◼
►
like you can do that for most people
[TS]
00:41:11
◼
►
that's a reasonable default that's a
[TS]
00:41:13
◼
►
good starting place if you aren't
[TS]
00:41:15
◼
►
confident whether you can break the
[TS]
00:41:17
◼
►
rules you should just do that like
[TS]
00:41:18
◼
►
that's that's fine but it's also nice to
[TS]
00:41:22
◼
►
have apps that don't follow all the
[TS]
00:41:23
◼
►
rules they push things forward or they
[TS]
00:41:25
◼
►
do things differently and that is how
[TS]
00:41:27
◼
►
progress made and that is often it that
[TS]
00:41:31
◼
►
often is necessary to result in an
[TS]
00:41:33
◼
►
overall better designer better more
[TS]
00:41:35
◼
►
usable app yeah you know I think of it
[TS]
00:41:40
◼
►
is that to me the best user interface is
[TS]
00:41:43
◼
►
one you don't have to think about right
[TS]
00:41:44
◼
►
the in it just feels frictionless that
[TS]
00:41:47
◼
►
that things are where you expect them to
[TS]
00:41:49
◼
►
be as an example as an unrelated example
[TS]
00:41:51
◼
►
in in my car I feel like everything is
[TS]
00:41:57
◼
►
where I expected to be even within I
[TS]
00:42:00
◼
►
Drive which a lot of people hate it
[TS]
00:42:03
◼
►
makes sense to my brain
[TS]
00:42:04
◼
►
maybe it doesn't to yours or to whomever
[TS]
00:42:06
◼
►
is what makes sense to me into the best
[TS]
00:42:08
◼
►
and eat like I said the best user
[TS]
00:42:09
◼
►
interfaces when you don't think about
[TS]
00:42:11
◼
►
and the moment I have to think about
[TS]
00:42:13
◼
►
that user interface about how I ain't
[TS]
00:42:15
◼
►
accomplish a task then I'm i'm
[TS]
00:42:18
◼
►
experiencing friction and I'm taken out
[TS]
00:42:21
◼
►
of the moment of what i'm trying to do
[TS]
00:42:23
◼
►
and we were beat me up a lot about this
[TS]
00:42:26
◼
►
yo swipe to delete thing because I i
[TS]
00:42:29
◼
►
think i speak for John and saying my
[TS]
00:42:30
◼
►
natural gut reaction is to just
[TS]
00:42:32
◼
►
immediately swipe and then i have to
[TS]
00:42:34
◼
►
think wait no no this is a place that
[TS]
00:42:36
◼
►
doesn't work
[TS]
00:42:38
◼
►
Oh what do I do oh yeah I tap and then I
[TS]
00:42:41
◼
►
tap again well that's fine it's just a
[TS]
00:42:43
◼
►
guy can't work the way I expected to and
[TS]
00:42:46
◼
►
that doesn't really negate anything you
[TS]
00:42:49
◼
►
said about how the big isn't it it's not
[TS]
00:42:53
◼
►
laws its guidelines you know a was a
[TS]
00:42:56
◼
►
stupid movie part of the Caribbean style
[TS]
00:42:58
◼

but I don't know it takes someone who is
[TS]
00:43:03
◼
►
very confident and with a lot of skill
[TS]
00:43:05
◼
►
like you had said to violate it in ways
[TS]
00:43:07
◼
►
that make sense like somebody in the
[TS]
00:43:08
◼
►
chatroom I already lost it was noted
[TS]
00:43:11
◼
►
that pole to refresh wasn't in the hague
[TS]
00:43:14
◼
►
and that's a perfect example of of
[TS]
00:43:17
◼
►
something that wasn't in the human
[TS]
00:43:18
◼
►
interface guidelines but just made
[TS]
00:43:19
◼
►
freakin sense and and that was a great
[TS]
00:43:21
◼
►
choice but other times i think you have
[TS]
00:43:26
◼
►
to be very confident and very very sure
[TS]
00:43:29
◼
►
you're right in order to get away with
[TS]
00:43:30
◼

violating it I think that the Higgs

changed over the years time for me to do
[TS]
00:43:34
◼
►
more old man stuff here when you guys
[TS]
00:43:38
◼
►
talk about the heck you're talking about
[TS]
00:43:39
◼
►
like the umpteenth iteration in the
[TS]
00:43:42
◼
►
modern era I know you guys started with
[TS]
00:43:43
◼
►
apple before iOS but not much before
[TS]
00:43:45
◼
►
like three years before something right
[TS]
00:43:48
◼
►
the human interface guidelines used to
[TS]
00:43:50
◼
►
be very very different than they than
[TS]
00:43:52
◼
►
they are now one thing that they shared
[TS]
00:43:54
◼
►
as the thing that you're talking about
[TS]
00:43:55
◼
►
Casey in the beginning part of what was
[TS]
00:43:59
◼
►
revolutionary about both the mac and the
[TS]
00:44:01
◼
►
human interface guidelines that came
[TS]
00:44:02
◼
►
along with it is the South the selling
[TS]
00:44:05
◼
►
point of the mac and a selling point of
[TS]
00:44:06
◼
►
the graphical user interface was there
[TS]
00:44:08
◼
►
will be a standard set of controls and a
[TS]
00:44:10
◼
►
standard guidelines for how to use them
[TS]
00:44:12
◼
►
so that if you learned how to use one
[TS]
00:44:14
◼
►
program on
[TS]
00:44:15
◼
►
Mac you can go to another program and
[TS]
00:44:18
◼
►
reuse a lot of those skills because they
[TS]
00:44:20
◼
►
would also have a menu bar with
[TS]
00:44:21
◼
►
pull-down menus it also use the same
[TS]
00:44:23
◼
►
command keys for things would also have
[TS]
00:44:24
◼
►
windows with the button at the
[TS]
00:44:26
◼
►
confirmation but on the right in the
[TS]
00:44:27
◼
►
cancel button on the left and all you
[TS]
00:44:29
◼
►
know the whole nine yards interface
[TS]
00:44:31
◼
►
consistency which was a revolutionary
[TS]
00:44:33
◼
►
and novel thing in an age when on das
[TS]
00:44:36
◼
►
use word star and it had absolutely
[TS]
00:44:38
◼
►
nothing in its interface in common with
[TS]
00:44:41
◼
►
wordperfect or whatever some other
[TS]
00:44:42
◼
►
contemporary even though they're both
[TS]
00:44:43
◼
►
word processors they didn't copy and
[TS]
00:44:45
◼
►
paste Texas and within format the same
[TS]
00:44:47
◼
►
way that the same menu structure to use
[TS]
00:44:48
◼
►
and keys
[TS]
00:44:49
◼
►
it was like I know WordStar can i
[TS]
00:44:51
◼
►
transfer those skills over to it you
[TS]
00:44:53
◼
►
could transfer your basic skills of
[TS]
00:44:54
◼
►
knowing where the keys are in the
[TS]
00:44:55
◼
►
keyboard and maybe if you're lucky that
[TS]
00:44:58
◼
►
they shared something about how their
[TS]
00:45:00
◼
►
interface work but they rapidly diverge
[TS]
00:45:02
◼
►
whereas you use Microsoft Word or mac
[TS]
00:45:05
◼
►
right is you know some of the menus for
[TS]
00:45:08
◼
►
the same there was a font menu is the
[TS]
00:45:10
◼
►
font sizing the fact that was menu bar
[TS]
00:45:12
◼
►
at all like that and just in general
[TS]
00:45:14
◼
►
using anything on the Mac you were able
[TS]
00:45:17
◼
►
to take the skills that you learn and
[TS]
00:45:19
◼
►
build on them to more rapidly get up to
[TS]
00:45:21
◼
►
speed and other updates that's the whole
[TS]
00:45:23
◼
►
point of the interface guidelines and
[TS]
00:45:24
◼
►
the way the document was different
[TS]
00:45:26
◼
►
is that especially in the beginning it
[TS]
00:45:29
◼
►
did way way less of explaining to you
[TS]
00:45:32
◼
►
how things should look for what you
[TS]
00:45:35
◼
►
should do and way way more of explaining
[TS]
00:45:38
◼
►
the reasoning behind it do this with
[TS]
00:45:41
◼
►
your whatever is because and then
[TS]
00:45:43
◼
►
explain the philosophy behind it and
[TS]
00:45:45
◼
►
very often that philosophy had had more
[TS]
00:45:47
◼
►
of a foundation on you know user testing
[TS]
00:45:50
◼
►
stuff look at The Hague today even even
[TS]
00:45:53
◼
►
just the first like aqua big for for Mac
[TS]
00:45:56
◼
►
os10 so much of it is about how big the
[TS]
00:45:59
◼
►
border should be between items like I
[TS]
00:46:01
◼
►
mean this is even talk about like sighs
[TS]
00:46:03
◼
►
minimum size of touch targets but just
[TS]
00:46:04
◼
►
like this is how you should lay out your
[TS]
00:46:05
◼
►
dialogue this is how far away buttons
[TS]
00:46:07
◼
►
label should be from their fields and
[TS]
00:46:09
◼
►
buttons should be from there whatever
[TS]
00:46:10
◼
►
this is how to hold this should be and
[TS]
00:46:11
◼
►
this is how much padding that should be
[TS]
00:46:12
◼
►
all things like that's all great and you
[TS]
00:46:14
◼
►
should totally have that interface
[TS]
00:46:15
◼
►
builder should do it for you
[TS]
00:46:16
◼
►
automatically which they added you know
[TS]
00:46:18
◼
►
like that's all fine but that does not
[TS]
00:46:20
◼
►
tell me why and that is how things
[TS]
00:46:23
◼
►
should look which is related to how they
[TS]
00:46:25
◼
►
work very often in terms of the size of
[TS]
00:46:28
◼
►
of touch targets and readability and why
[TS]
00:46:30
◼
►
labels that are aligned this way easier
[TS]
00:46:32
◼
►
to scan all the stuff but there's less
[TS]
00:46:35
◼
►
of the less of the philosophy lesson of
[TS]
00:46:38
◼
►
like let me just complain explain to the
[TS]
00:46:40
◼
►
concepts and here are some guidelines
[TS]
00:46:41
◼
►
but now you see these guidelines see
[TS]
00:46:44
◼
►
here's the concepts that that they flow
[TS]
00:46:45
◼
►
out of and when you're provided with the
[TS]
00:46:47
◼
►
concepts and actually given more free
[TS]
00:46:49
◼
►
rein in the old days to say follow these
[TS]
00:46:52
◼
►
these concepts in your custom interfaces
[TS]
00:46:55
◼
►
and yours will feel like ours rather
[TS]
00:46:57
◼
►
than saying just use our controls
[TS]
00:46:59
◼
►
because that's the only way you could
[TS]
00:47:00
◼
►
possibly do this the new ones feel more
[TS]
00:47:02
◼
►
like make your applications look like
[TS]
00:47:04
◼
►
ours down to the pixel use our standard
[TS]
00:47:07
◼
►
controls and we were really explain to
[TS]
00:47:11
◼
►
the reasons why is why is this alignment
[TS]
00:47:13
◼
►
or the spacing beneficial why should you
[TS]
00:47:15
◼
►
phrase the words in the dialogue in this
[TS]
00:47:18
◼
►
manner whether it's imperative why
[TS]
00:47:19
◼
►
should use verbs or buttons or why
[TS]
00:47:21
◼
►
should you know like the whole lot why
[TS]
00:47:23
◼
►
should you not use differently styled
[TS]
00:47:24
◼
►
text and you know they were used to have
[TS]
00:47:26
◼
►
reasons for it they would say when our
[TS]
00:47:27
◼
►
testing we found you put a bunch of old
[TS]
00:47:28
◼
►
words and dialogue that's all people
[TS]
00:47:30
◼
►
read so don't make bold words make
[TS]
00:47:32
◼
►
everything in the same consistent fine
[TS]
00:47:33
◼
►
just making this up this is not a real
[TS]
00:47:34
◼
►
thing but like to explain the reasoning
[TS]
00:47:36
◼
►
behind things that I feel like has been
[TS]
00:47:39
◼
►
lacking and because that's lacking I
[TS]
00:47:42
◼
►
feel like the human interface guidelines
[TS]
00:47:44
◼
►
for iOS and for the mac are way less
[TS]
00:47:46
◼
►
authoritative now in terms of how how
[TS]
00:47:51
◼
►
developers should take them like just
[TS]
00:47:53
◼
►
because it's in the hague that it's just
[TS]
00:47:55
◼
►
one other persons are a couple other
[TS]
00:47:57
◼
►
people's ideas and it's important for
[TS]
00:47:58
◼
►
you to know what they expect from you
[TS]
00:47:59
◼
►
from construction from consistent for
[TS]
00:48:01
◼
►
the sake of consistency with the other
[TS]
00:48:03
◼
►
applications but they're not going to
[TS]
00:48:05
◼
►
explain their reasoning and you suspect
[TS]
00:48:06
◼
►
that you might have a better way I think
[TS]
00:48:08
◼
►
you're much more likely today to
[TS]
00:48:10
◼
►
actually have a better way then you are
[TS]
00:48:12
◼
►
back in the old days where a nobody knew
[TS]
00:48:15
◼
►
anything and be Apple do so much more
[TS]
00:48:17
◼
►
than everybody else because developers
[TS]
00:48:19
◼
►
were coming up on the first time and
[TS]
00:48:21
◼
►
happily said put many many years into it
[TS]
00:48:23
◼
►
and they were you know the world's
[TS]
00:48:25
◼
►
leading experts on making
[TS]
00:48:26
◼
►
consumer-facing personal computer gooeys
[TS]
00:48:28
◼
►
for a very long time and they would they
[TS]
00:48:31
◼
►
would show their work they would say
[TS]
00:48:32
◼
►
here's why here's why we're doing all
[TS]
00:48:33
◼
►
this stuff and you really go well that
[TS]
00:48:36
◼
►
makes sense and if they said they did a
[TS]
00:48:37
◼
►
bunch of user testing you have a user
[TS]
00:48:39
◼
►
experience lab for you to test this
[TS]
00:48:41
◼
►
I have you hey product resident from
[TS]
00:48:44
◼
►
that from the jobs error was seemed like
[TS]
00:48:47
◼
►
he was much less of a fan of you know
[TS]
00:48:49
◼
►
the scientific method and user testing
[TS]
00:48:51
◼
►
and much more of a fan of using his gut
[TS]
00:48:52
◼
►
and it's got was pretty good but
[TS]
00:48:54
◼
►
sometimes you got like you know
[TS]
00:48:56
◼
►
stretch-leather and stuff so yeah anyway
[TS]
00:49:00
◼
►
all this is to say that I have you know
[TS]
00:49:04
◼
►
I i put much less take in the end apples
[TS]
00:49:06
◼
►
human interface guidelines now than I
[TS]
00:49:07
◼
►
did many decades ago but the guideline
[TS]
00:49:12
◼
►
that you know that the the guiding
[TS]
00:49:13
◼
►
principle i think every developer uses
[TS]
00:49:15
◼
►
who's making their applications is to
[TS]
00:49:19
◼
►
try to make it fit in with what the user
[TS]
00:49:21
◼
►
expects again like if you made a mac
[TS]
00:49:23
◼
►
application and you didn't have a menu
[TS]
00:49:24
◼
►
bar or you're like the file and edit
[TS]
00:49:26
◼
►
menus were in the opposite order even if
[TS]
00:49:28
◼
►
you think you have a really good reason
[TS]
00:49:29
◼
►
for that
[TS]
00:49:30
◼
►
it's probably not a good idea but if you
[TS]
00:49:32
◼
►
want to put different items in your file
[TS]
00:49:34
◼
►
menu as long as quick as at the bottom
[TS]
00:49:35
◼
►
if you're really old that's where used
[TS]
00:49:37
◼
►
to be everybody is always quit the
[TS]
00:49:38
◼
►
bottom people are okay with your shotgun
[TS]
00:49:40
◼
►
and a few other items and when and you
[TS]
00:49:42
◼
►
know third-party applications like Marco
[TS]
00:49:45
◼
►
said push the interface story because
[TS]
00:49:47
◼
►
the Apple can't cover all your possible
[TS]
00:49:48
◼
►
scenario so photoshop starts doing
[TS]
00:49:50
◼
►
something and photoshop does it for 25
[TS]
00:49:52
◼
►
years eventually
[TS]
00:49:54
◼
►
well that's in the human interface
[TS]
00:49:55
◼
►
guidelines not if you're making graphics
[TS]
00:49:56
◼
►
application it would be a good idea for
[TS]
00:49:59
◼
►
you to perhaps take a few conventions
[TS]
00:50:01
◼
►
from Photoshop because it's so important
[TS]
00:50:03
◼
►
in its field and I think it's the same
[TS]
00:50:05
◼
►
way a lot of Twitter clients get away
[TS]
00:50:07
◼
►
with the sideswipes which I don't know
[TS]
00:50:08
◼
►
who invented that but it's all over the
[TS]
00:50:09
◼
►
place and Twitter clients up because if
[TS]
00:50:12
◼
►
you use a lot of our clients eventually
[TS]
00:50:14
◼
►
that's what you get used to and in the
[TS]
00:50:15
◼
►
realm of podcasts apps i feel like if
[TS]
00:50:17
◼
►
you use a lot of podcasts apps i don't
[TS]
00:50:19
◼
►
use a lot of them but I imagine there
[TS]
00:50:20
◼
►
are some conventions for controlling
[TS]
00:50:22
◼
►
things that they would have some
[TS]
00:50:24
◼
►
commonality between the you begin to
[TS]
00:50:25
◼
►
read read landscape and get used to
[TS]
00:50:28
◼
►
using how do you want every time of
[TS]
00:50:29
◼
►
application to be different but where
[TS]
00:50:33
◼
►
you start falling back to the bedrock of
[TS]
00:50:35
◼
►
expectation is that for things like
[TS]
00:50:36
◼
►
muscle memory and you know the fact that
[TS]
00:50:39
◼
►
using a table view at all and the fact
[TS]
00:50:41
◼
►
that you know that the transitions
[TS]
00:50:42
◼
►
between things sort of mental and
[TS]
00:50:43
◼
►
spatial model of how the application
[TS]
00:50:45
◼
►
flows from left to right and for coming
[TS]
00:50:47
◼
►
bottom also judgment calls to make their
[TS]
00:50:49
◼
►
but in general you try to keep it
[TS]
00:50:51
◼
►
consistent and you know if you miss one
[TS]
00:50:55
◼
►
little tiny corner where now-deleted
[TS]
00:50:57
◼
►
works a little bit differently it's
[TS]
00:50:58
◼
►
probably not a big deal especially since
[TS]
00:51:00
◼
►
the elite is probably not a common
[TS]
00:51:01
◼
►
operation that's no but it's if it's a
[TS]
00:51:03
◼
►
place where you can if it's a place
[TS]
00:51:06
◼
►
where you can return that uh where you
[TS]
00:51:09
◼
►
can fulfill that expectation in a way
[TS]
00:51:12
◼
►
that lets you retain all the other
[TS]
00:51:14
◼
►
benefits it's a pretty clean one
[TS]
00:51:16
◼
►
I mean I i would question even more of
[TS]
00:51:18
◼
►
the feature you do have their with your
[TS]
00:51:19
◼
►
memory for was like being able to
[TS]
00:51:21
◼
►
dismiss the thing that comes up from the
[TS]
00:51:22
◼
►
bottom by sliding sideways makes not
[TS]
00:51:25
◼
►
much sense no spatially speaking as
[TS]
00:51:27
◼
►
probably miss feature the only reason
[TS]
00:51:29
◼
►
it's there is to honor the muscle memory
[TS]
00:51:31
◼
►
of users of your specific application
[TS]
00:51:33
◼
►
because if you didn't ever use the
[TS]
00:51:35
◼
►
previous version overcast you would
[TS]
00:51:37
◼
►
never expect that to work you would
[TS]
00:51:38
◼
►
never even try it right but you're just
[TS]
00:51:40
◼
►
doing that to just give a little help to
[TS]
00:51:41
◼
►
those people I think this is the same
[TS]
00:51:43
◼
►
category of things in fact i would i
[TS]
00:51:45
◼
►
would trade these in terms of what is
[TS]
00:51:47
◼
►
more beneficial in the long run i would
[TS]
00:51:49
◼
►
say if i had to sacrifice once you don't
[TS]
00:51:51
◼
►
you just keep both of them but if I had
[TS]
00:51:53

want to briefly ask you about this this
[TS]
00:54:13
◼

new ad model and i'm not entirely sure I
[TS]

◼

understand the nuances of it and so I
[TS]
00:54:21
◼
►
I'm going to defer my chief summarizer
[TS]
00:54:24

in chief role to you
[TS]
00:54:25
◼

Marco if you could summarize what this
[TS]
00:54:27
◼
►
this new setup is and in kinda how it
[TS]
00:54:30
◼
►
works and broad strokes sure
[TS]
00:54:33
◼
►
so basically before you know it by i
[TS]
00:54:35
◼
►
have as as John likes to remind me i
[TS]
00:54:38
◼
►
change my business model however cast
[TS]
00:54:39
◼
►
roughly every you know nine to 18 months
[TS]
00:54:42
◼
►
I've gone through many of them now
[TS]
00:54:44
◼
►
the one I've settled on since this past
[TS]
00:54:46
◼
►
September which is just going to be a
[TS]
00:54:48
◼
►
tweak the one before it is basically
[TS]
00:54:50
◼
►
adds as like the main source of income
[TS]
00:54:52
◼
►
and then paid subscriptions to remove
[TS]
00:54:55
◼
►
the ads if you want to and the way this
[TS]
00:54:58
◼
►
is worked out over time is actually not
[TS]
00:55:01
◼
►
that way the way it's worked out since
[TS]
00:55:03
◼
►
sep tember when i add these these a
[TS]
00:55:05
◼
►
Google AdMob ads and by the way just as
[TS]
00:55:08
◼
►
quickly occasion I know there are other
[TS]
00:55:10
◼
►
ad networks but they're all worse in
[TS]
00:55:13
◼
►
some major way
[TS]
00:55:14
◼
►
either they have creepier code or they
[TS]
00:55:17
◼
►
require more sdk integration they're
[TS]
00:55:20
◼
►
kind of like networks where they have to
[TS]
00:55:22
◼
►
add lots of SDKs to your apt for all
[TS]
00:55:24
◼
►
these different companies or they just
[TS]
00:55:26
◼
►
don't sell enough inventory you end up
[TS]
00:55:28
◼
►
getting very little money from from your
[TS]
00:55:30
◼
►
ads and a lot of like unsold inventory
[TS]
00:55:31
◼
►
us because like show nothing for or show
[TS]
00:55:34
◼
►
your own you know splash thing for
[TS]
00:55:36
◼
►
whatever else so I think you're going to
[TS]
00:55:39
◼
►
do third-party ads I think AdMob is the
[TS]
00:55:41
◼
►
way to do it and but what I found with
[TS]
00:55:44
◼
►
AdMob ultimately is that the ads were of
[TS]
00:55:47
◼
►
lower quality than i wanted and they
[TS]
00:55:49
◼
►
made very little money and as I kept
[TS]
00:55:52
◼
►
going through and and going in there
[TS]
00:55:54
◼
►
within their control panel and turning
[TS]
00:55:56
◼
►
off various flick categories of crappy
[TS]
00:55:58
◼
►
ads I didn't want to see things like you
[TS]
00:56:00
◼
►
know casino stuff and like we're like
[TS]
00:56:03
◼
►
sexy dating services like I would turn
[TS]
00:56:05
◼
►
that I would find those and turn them
[TS]
00:56:06
◼
►
off and then make even less money
[TS]
00:56:08
◼
►
because it turns out all the crap ads
[TS]
00:56:09
◼
►
make a lot of money which is why he run
[TS]
00:56:11
◼
►
them so basically it was making very
[TS]
00:56:14
◼
►
little money it ended up like I thought
[TS]
00:56:16
◼
►
I was going to make the most money from
[TS]
00:56:18
◼
►
the ads and then some money from
[TS]
00:56:19
◼
►
subscriptions and it ended up that was
[TS]
00:56:21
◼
►
making ninety percent of the money from
[TS]
00:56:23
◼
►
subscriptions totally flipped and that's
[TS]
00:56:25
◼
►
actually fine
[TS]
00:56:27
◼
►
I like it that way I'd rather have
[TS]
00:56:28
◼
►
people paying me that have to deal with
[TS]
00:56:30
◼
►
ads and the ads the presence of the ads
[TS]
00:56:33
◼
►
increase subscriptions dramatically from
[TS]
00:56:35
◼
►
the previous system which is basically
[TS]
00:56:37
◼
►
pay if you feel like it like patrons you
[TS]
00:56:39
◼
►
know just pay if you liked me and that
[TS]
00:56:41
◼
►
that work a little bit but it was not it
[TS]
00:56:43
◼
►
wasn't working enough so it succeeded as
[TS]
00:56:46
◼
►
a business model but not because of the
[TS]
00:56:49
◼
►
ads it succeeded because there were ads
[TS]
00:56:52
◼
►
there but the ads could be anything
[TS]
00:56:54
◼
►
honestly I'm sure I i'm actually see a
[TS]
00:56:57
◼
►
slightly lower subscription rate because
[TS]
00:56:59
◼
►
the ads are no longer crappy but I
[TS]
00:57:02
◼
►
they're also now they're playing screen
[TS]
00:57:03
◼
►
so you see the more so I don't bounce
[TS]
00:57:06
◼
►
itself out anyway so I decided that I
[TS]
00:57:08
◼
►
was no longer interested in running
[TS]
00:57:10
◼
►
Google AdMob ads for lots of different
[TS]
00:57:11
◼
►
reasons
[TS]
00:57:12
◼
►
quality of the ads low revenue those are
[TS]
00:57:15
◼
►
major factors but also as i talked with
[TS]
00:57:18
◼
►
the blog post a little bit here I think
[TS]
00:57:19
◼
►
I i'm no longer very comfortable
[TS]
00:57:22
◼
►
embedding closed-source add libraries
[TS]
00:57:25
◼
►
into my appt from ad companies
[TS]
00:57:28
◼
►
I think as a developer you have to be
[TS]
00:57:30
◼
►
conscious of that there has to be a
[TS]
00:57:32
◼
►
really good reason if you to embed
[TS]
00:57:33
◼
►
someone else's clothes source code and
[TS]
00:57:35
◼
►
your app because that can do anything
[TS]
00:57:37
◼
►
and it's on you like that that can
[TS]
00:57:39
◼
►
access all of your user data whatever
[TS]
00:57:41
◼
►
users that are doing with the app
[TS]
00:57:43
◼
►
whatever they are entering into the app
[TS]
00:57:45
◼
►
that code has complete access to it that
[TS]
00:57:48
◼
►
code can get you in trouble with apple
[TS]
00:57:49
◼
►
that code can do things that are
[TS]
00:57:51
◼
►
prohibited that code can require you to
[TS]
00:57:53
◼
►
have all these advertising disclaimers
[TS]
00:57:56
◼
►
that that your user see or that a
[TS]
00:57:57
◼
►
preview sees that can get you in trouble
[TS]
00:57:59
◼
►
with a preview
[TS]
00:58:00
◼
►
there's all and there's all sorts of
[TS]
00:58:02
◼
►
stuff like baggage that you sign up for
[TS]
00:58:05
◼
►
when you are adding someone else's
[TS]
00:58:07
◼
►
clothes source code to your app and so
[TS]
00:58:10
◼
►
after there had to be a really really
[TS]
00:58:11
◼
►
good reason for that recipe in there and
[TS]
00:58:13
◼
►
I no longer had a good reason the only
[TS]
00:58:15
◼
►
reason I didn't remember what i thought
[TS]
00:58:17
◼
►
was the only option
[TS]
00:58:18
◼
►
the option between that and going out of
[TS]
00:58:20
◼
►
business basically and so I took that
[TS]
00:58:22
◼
►
option but then the business model
[TS]
00:58:24
◼
►
changed and the environment change you
[TS]
00:58:26
◼
►
know that all happened in September then
[TS]
00:58:29
◼
►
November happened then January happened
[TS]
00:58:31
◼
►
it's a different world now and so now
[TS]
00:58:35
◼
►
I'm I i basically this thing alright
[TS]
00:58:37
◼
►
well now let me see you know what can i
[TS]
00:58:40
◼
►
do myself because it and because the
[TS]
00:58:43
◼
►
google ads made so little money for me
[TS]
00:58:47
◼
►
and i canÃt people other people have
[TS]
00:58:49
◼
►
more success with google ads that I have
[TS]
00:58:51
◼
►
I don't want to like say that they don't
[TS]
00:58:54
◼
►
work for anybody because they obviously
[TS]
00:58:56
◼
►
worked for lots of people but my my tap
[TS]
00:58:59
◼
►
through rate was awful lot like and and
[TS]
00:59:02
◼
►
most of like you have basically how much
[TS]
00:59:05
◼
►
money you make depends extremely heavily
[TS]
00:59:07
◼
►
on your tap through rate and there's
[TS]
00:59:09
◼
►
lots of reasons for that none of which i
[TS]
00:59:10
◼
►
was willing to fix like so there's like
[TS]
00:59:12
◼
►
for example if you want a day if you
[TS]
00:59:15
◼
►
want to make more money you should put
[TS]
00:59:18
◼
►
the ad somewhere people are more likely
[TS]
00:59:20
◼
►
to accidentally tap them i'm not going
[TS]
00:59:22
◼
►
to do that you should have the ads on
[TS]
00:59:24
◼
►
every screen of your app or more screens
[TS]
00:59:25
◼
►
of your app but I wasn't doing that i
[TS]
00:59:27
◼
►
had the only lists screens before they
[TS]
00:59:28
◼
►
were too big for now playing you should
[TS]
00:59:31
◼
►
enable things like animated banners I
[TS]
00:59:33
◼
►
didn't want to do that because a lot of
[TS]
00:59:35
◼
►
like those pay better you know like
[TS]
00:59:36
◼
►
there's all sorts of things that you can
[TS]
00:59:37
◼
►
do to make ads work better that I was
[TS]
00:59:40
◼
►
unwilling to do so it's not
[TS]
00:59:41
◼
►
entirely add mobs fault that I had such
[TS]
00:59:44
◼
►
a bad experience it was just my app and
[TS]
00:59:46
◼
►
my you know strict requirements for it
[TS]
00:59:48
◼
►
he knows what I could stomach and what I
[TS]
00:59:50
◼
►
want to do anyway I decided you know
[TS]
00:59:53
◼
►
since AdMob ads were making so little
[TS]
00:59:54
◼
►
for me i could replace them with pretty
[TS]
00:59:57
◼
►
much anything and it probably wouldn't
[TS]
00:59:57
◼
►
much anything and it probably wouldn't
[TS]
01:00:00
◼
►
negatively affect my business so because
[TS]
01:00:03
◼
►
like the main risk with with running my
[TS]
01:00:05
◼
►
own ads is what if no one buys them what
[TS]
01:00:08
◼
►
if it turns out they're really hard to
[TS]
01:00:10
◼
►
I wish they might be you know these
[TS]
01:00:11
◼
►
aren't podcast as their display ads and
[TS]
01:00:13
◼
►
display ads are hard to sell right now I
[TS]
01:00:16
◼
►
only have very very limited data right
[TS]
01:00:18
◼
►
now with you know these trial partners i
[TS]
01:00:21
◼
►
have now in there but you know I have no
[TS]
01:00:24

idea even what kind of views or tap
[TS]
01:00:28

through rates or subscription rates that
[TS]
01:00:30
◼

they're going to get in like three
[TS]

01:00:33
◼

everyone's looking at him and poking
[TS]
01:00:34
◼

them and and seeing what they're like so
[TS]
01:00:36
◼
►
the data right now is nice but it's not
[TS]
01:00:37
◼

really representative probably so i have
[TS]
01:00:41
◼
►
no idea how they're gonna perform but
[TS]
01:00:42
◼

the fact is i am way happier with them
[TS]
01:00:45
◼
►
they're totally under my control
[TS]

01:01:10
◼

01:01:15
◼

[TS]
01:01:19
◼
►
much happier with the setup now and so
[TS]
01:01:22
◼
►
what the setup is is my own ads they
[TS]
01:01:25
◼
►
show in a plane screen and in the ad
[TS]
01:01:28
◼
►
podcast screen the ad unit can show

either ads for websites apps in the App

01:01:34
◼
►
Store or podcasts and overcast and and
[TS]
01:01:37
◼

[TS]
01:01:57
◼

interface i don't know how many
[TS]
01:02:00
◼
►
podcasters are going to be willing to
[TS]
01:02:02
◼

pay for ads long-term i can tell you i
[TS]
01:02:04
◼

have an inbox full of emails from

[TS]
01:02:10
◼

answering all once however I
[TS]
01:02:12
◼

there's tons of interest right now but

01:02:18
◼

people to actually commit and to pay you
[TS]
01:02:21
◼
►
everything changes so i have no idea
[TS]
01:02:23
◼
►
what's going to be like a long-term but
[TS]
01:02:26
◼
►
the fact is I don't need to sell very
[TS]
01:02:28
◼
►
many ads to make more than i was making
[TS]
01:02:30
◼
►
before and even if i make less than was
[TS]
01:02:33
◼
►
making before as long as people keep
[TS]
01:02:35
◼
►
subscribing
[TS]
01:02:36
◼
►
I'm still fine so I think I made the
[TS]
01:02:40
◼
►
right move it also on the same by the
[TS]
01:02:42
◼
►
same logic and for all the same reasons
[TS]
01:02:43
◼
►
i also in this update removed the fabric
[TS]
01:02:47
◼
►
analytics from the absolute there's no
[TS]
01:02:48
◼
►
more third-party analytic services
[TS]
01:02:50
◼
►
either all I do now is I have a very
[TS]
01:02:53
◼
►
very basic analytics class that I wrote
[TS]
01:02:56
◼
►
myself that just log some very basic
[TS]
01:02:58
◼
►
information and it can be used to do
[TS]
01:03:00
◼
►
things like what you're describing
[TS]
01:03:02
◼
►
earlier John about like a measuring how
[TS]
01:03:03
◼
►
many people use the delete button or
[TS]
01:03:05
◼
►
whatever it out whatever you were asking
[TS]
01:03:07
◼
►
about I can do something that right now
[TS]
01:03:08
◼
►
I'm measuring almost nothing in the app
[TS]
01:03:10
◼
►
I talked a little about the radar this
[TS]
01:03:12
◼
►
week the short version there is a data
[TS]
01:03:14
◼
►
analytics for a while now with fabric
[TS]
01:03:16
◼
►
and I found some actionable things from
[TS]
01:03:19
◼
►
it but most of the I was collecting was
[TS]
01:03:21
◼
►
neither useful more actionable I i find
[TS]
01:03:25
◼
►
analytics are great too
[TS]
01:03:26
◼
►
like when you have a specific question
[TS]
01:03:28
◼
►
trying to answer so like when i was
[TS]
01:03:30
◼
►
developing a guy i was curious a while
[TS]
01:03:34
◼
►
back and maybe a year ago now so i added
[TS]
01:03:37
◼
►
analytics for what type of output device
[TS]
01:03:41
◼
►
people were listening on and i learned
[TS]
01:03:43
◼
►
from that that a lot of people use the
[TS]
01:03:45
◼
►
built-in speaker way more than I thought
[TS]
01:03:46
◼
►
and so that's why I did the voice boost
[TS]
01:03:49
◼
►
optimized speaker profile for the iphone
[TS]
01:03:51
◼
►
speaker because it was I realize like
[TS]
01:03:54
◼
►
wow a lot of people who is this is worth
[TS]
01:03:56
◼
►
focusing attention on i also learned
[TS]
01:03:58
◼
►
during times of that like at major parts
[TS]
01:04:00
◼
►
of the watch act like you didn't even
[TS]
01:04:02
◼
►
use the watch app what features of the
[TS]
01:04:04
◼
►
watch app do they use like they actually
[TS]
01:04:06
◼
►
go to the force touch menu by the way no
[TS]
01:04:08
◼
►
difficult to do they actually like ever
[TS]
01:04:11
◼
►
use the buttons on order mostly using it
[TS]
01:04:14
◼
►
to read information and as a glance
[TS]
01:04:16
◼
►
answer yes so I learned stuff like that
[TS]
01:04:20
◼
►
but I can do that myself with very basic
[TS]
01:04:22
◼
►
analytics like I don't need everything
[TS]
01:04:25
◼
►
that a full-blown analytics package
[TS]
01:04:26
◼
►
offers today like various like
[TS]
01:04:28
◼
►
conversion tracking different things and
[TS]
01:04:30
◼
►
funnels all over the place and and all
[TS]
01:04:32
◼
►
these like for attention like I don't
[TS]
01:04:34
◼
►
that's the kind of stuff that like
[TS]
01:04:35
◼
►
venture fund companies need I don't need
[TS]
01:04:38
◼
►
that I don't have anybody asking for
[TS]
01:04:40
◼
►
that information
[TS]
01:04:40
◼
►
I don't care about that information so i
[TS]
01:04:43
◼
►
don't need to collect so basically i'm
[TS]
01:04:45
◼
►
gettin away now with incredibly simple
[TS]
01:04:46
◼
►
analytics of just my own you know you
[TS]
01:04:48
◼
►
know hand-rolled thing is a goddamn
[TS]
01:04:51
◼
►
hipster my own
[TS]
01:04:52
◼
►
yeah our artisanal analytics and now
[TS]
01:04:55
◼
►
it's just a lot simpler and lower tech
[TS]
01:04:58
◼
►
and but i can just now I can tell things
[TS]
01:04:59
◼
►
like you know what how many people are
[TS]
01:05:02
◼
►
using different devices like how many
[TS]
01:05:03
◼
►
iphone 7 vs 7 plus do I have and that
[TS]
01:05:06
◼
►
helps me decide things like what should
[TS]
01:05:08
◼
►
i optimize this interface for you know
[TS]
01:05:10
◼
►
should i optimize it for 5.5 inch
[TS]
01:05:12
◼
►
screens or 4.7 or 44 point out you know
[TS]
01:05:14
◼
►
and stuff like that that stuff I need to
[TS]
01:05:16
◼
►
know I don't need to know the level of
[TS]
01:05:19
◼
►
detail that all these commercial
[TS]
01:05:20
◼
►
analytics packages provide and
[TS]
01:05:22
◼
►
especially at the cost of having their
[TS]
01:05:24
◼
►
own closed source code in my app and
[TS]
01:05:26
◼
►
exposing all my user data to them they
[TS]
01:05:28
◼
►
like best about these a new ads is the
[TS]
01:05:31
◼
►
fact that they are podcast ads in a
[TS]
01:05:33
◼
►
podcast player right built-in relevance
[TS]
01:05:35
◼
►
and if you if you ever run out of
[TS]
01:05:36
◼
►
inventory which you wouldn't because you
[TS]
01:05:38
◼
►
can just lower the price and get any
[TS]
01:05:39
◼
►
inventory wanted but if you ever did run
[TS]
01:05:40
◼
►
out I would be happy to see that slot
[TS]
01:05:42
◼
►
spilled was just pulled from your own
[TS]
01:05:44
◼
►
like most recommended section because
[TS]
01:05:46
◼
►
you have ready-made inventory of you
[TS]
01:05:49
◼
►
know I don't know how relevant but like
[TS]
01:05:50
◼
►
hey here are some popular here's a
[TS]
01:05:53
◼
►
podcast with some episodes that are
[TS]
01:05:55
◼
►
being recommended a lot in insert time
[TS]
01:05:57
◼
►
window and then just throw them in the
[TS]
01:05:59
◼
►
most recommended thing you tap them you
[TS]
01:06:00
◼
►
go into the episode it's it's like a
[TS]
01:06:01
◼
►
no-brainer
[TS]
01:06:02
◼
►
I i I'd act also echo your fear that
[TS]
01:06:07
◼
►
they will not be offensive enough to
[TS]
01:06:09
◼
►
make people pay because they're not
[TS]
01:06:10
◼
►
they're Pleasant like their podcast dead
[TS]
01:06:13
◼
►
and they're not you know it's not be
[TS]
01:06:15
◼
►
like you know what I was a mesothelioma
[TS]
01:06:18
◼
►
or whatever like I i do want to clarify
[TS]
01:06:23
◼
►
their on all podcasts as theirs and
[TS]
01:06:24
◼
►
theirs and for however there's not for
[TS]
01:06:26
◼
►
linode there are a couple of websites
[TS]
01:06:28
◼
►
well I I that you mention that when i
[TS]
01:06:30
◼
►
saw the hover and I was like it cuz i
[TS]
01:06:33
◼
►
see however i think that's a podcast had
[TS]
01:06:35
◼
►
to because obviously there was
[TS]
01:06:36
◼
►
so how about listen to imagine if it was
[TS]
01:06:40
◼
►
like synchronized like when the hover
[TS]
01:06:41
◼
►
and is playing on the show that the
[TS]
01:06:43
◼
►
hover add got the hover banner got to
[TS]
01:06:45
◼
►
display down the thing and include the
[TS]
01:06:48
◼
►
people's codes there's all sorts of
[TS]
01:06:49
◼
►
crazy business ideas that you could do
[TS]
01:06:51
◼
►
here or competitive advertising where
[TS]
01:06:53
◼
►
people could buy podcast advertising
[TS]
01:06:55
◼
►
against that would run against the other
[TS]
01:06:57
◼
►
podcast in the same genre this is all
[TS]
01:06:59
◼
►
getting way too complicated and i agree
[TS]
01:07:01
◼
►
that it you know if this is simply a way
[TS]
01:07:03
◼
►
to replace that ten percent of money
[TS]
01:07:05
◼
►
with a more pleasant experience then
[TS]
01:07:07
◼
►
that's a win no matter what but I think
[TS]
01:07:11
◼
►
that kind of like the moses i think of
[TS]
01:07:14
◼
►
subjective i was talking about the
[TS]
01:07:15
◼
►
fantasy google ad that you know it's far
[TS]
01:07:17
◼
►
fewer ads but far more valuable because
[TS]
01:07:19
◼
►
they're better targeted by some magic AI
[TS]
01:07:21
◼
►
think i think even just basic better
[TS]
01:07:23
◼
►
targeting of the fact that hey I know
[TS]
01:07:25
◼
►
you're interested in podcast because
[TS]
01:07:26
◼
►
you're listening to one you are great
[TS]
01:07:28
◼
►
audience for me to advertise other
[TS]
01:07:29
◼
►
podcast to because you are proven
[TS]
01:07:32
◼
►
podcast listener and you're using a
[TS]
01:07:33
◼
►
podcast client and guess what
[TS]
01:07:35
◼
►
here's another podcast and that's why
[TS]
01:07:37
◼
►
you can charge more money for that then
[TS]
01:07:38
◼
►
you can for an ad for even something at
[TS]
01:07:41
◼
►
like hover or something because although
[TS]
01:07:43
◼
►
they are advertising as a podcast
[TS]
01:07:45
◼
►
however is not technically podcast
[TS]
01:07:46
◼
►
related but another podcast is and then
[TS]
01:07:49
◼
►
a podcast can spend money advertising to
[TS]
01:07:51
◼
►
each other and going to just like the
[TS]
01:07:52
◼
►
app store ads yeah because like that's
[TS]
01:07:55
◼
►
why it that's one reason need this for
[TS]
01:07:57
◼
►
pocket and I was like and I've had all
[TS]
01:07:59
◼
►
sorts of crazy ideas on how to possibly
[TS]
01:08:02
◼
►
sell these things and is that but
[TS]
01:08:04
◼
►
ultimately it came down to like of
[TS]
01:08:06
◼
►
course this is the perfect place for an
[TS]
01:08:08
◼
►
ad for podcast
[TS]
01:08:10
◼
►
the only question is you know that the
[TS]
01:08:12
◼
►
only doubt in my mind is you know
[TS]
01:08:14
◼
►
whether enough podcasters will be
[TS]
01:08:16
◼
►
willing and able to pay for an ad for
[TS]
01:08:18
◼
►
their shows because most podcasters
[TS]
01:08:20
◼
►
don't make a lot of money from
[TS]
01:08:21
◼
►
sponsorships mostly most podcast don't
[TS]
01:08:23
◼
►
even have sponsors most guys don't have
[TS]
01:08:25
◼
►
audiences big enough to get sponsors so
[TS]
01:08:28
◼
►
how many podcasts are going to be
[TS]
01:08:30
◼
►
willing to pay for ads like I have no
[TS]
01:08:33
◼
►
idea it it doesn't take a lot to to make
[TS]
01:08:36
◼
►
this work
[TS]
01:08:37
◼
►
you know it doesn't take you know you
[TS]
01:08:40
◼
►
don't need thousands of advertisers you
[TS]
01:08:41
◼
►
need tens of advertisers to to make this
[TS]
01:08:44
◼
►
work really well like you know so so i
[TS]
01:08:47
◼
►
think it will probably be okay
[TS]
01:08:49
◼
►
I think one of the big challenges gonna
[TS]
01:08:51
◼
►
be like I don't think podcasters have
[TS]
01:08:54
◼
►
ever had away ever even thought about
[TS]
01:08:57
◼
►
buying ads because there's never really
[TS]
01:08:59
◼
►
been a place where you could buy an ad
[TS]
01:09:01
◼
►
for a podcast that made sense because
[TS]
01:09:03
◼
►
you were just saying like you can't just
[TS]
01:09:05
◼
►
buy like you know a google search a door
[TS]
01:09:06
◼
►
like a Facebook ad for your podcast and
[TS]
01:09:08
◼
►
get anybody to click through because
[TS]
01:09:10
◼
►
like you start losing you know targeting
[TS]
01:09:12
◼
►
the faster like the chances that they
[TS]
01:09:15
◼
►
are a podcast listener and who want to
[TS]
01:09:17
◼
►
listen to your show like that
[TS]
01:09:18
◼
►
combination gets multiplied and that's
[TS]
01:09:19
◼
►
that's gonna be a pretty low number then
[TS]
01:09:21
◼
►
says too much friction if you like and
[TS]
01:09:23
◼
►
other venues like doing on the web if
[TS]
01:09:25
◼
►
you're not already in a podcast player
[TS]
01:09:27
◼
►
getting successfully described subscribe
[TS]
01:09:30
◼
►
to podcast in your player of choice is
[TS]
01:09:32
◼
►
difficult so I i counted that one time
[TS]
01:09:34
◼
►
on the web and I find a podcast that I
[TS]
01:09:36
◼
►
like and I'm disappointed when I don't
[TS]
01:09:37
◼
►
see like either a link to the overcast
[TS]
01:09:39
◼
►
URL where I can just save an overcast
[TS]
01:09:40

◼

something like that that's not no good
[TS]
01:09:43
◼
►
to me i don't use that player right
[TS]
01:09:45
◼
►
because you don't but the website can't
[TS]
01:09:47
◼
►
know what player use but if I'm already
[TS]
01:09:48
◼

in the player that i use is a one tab
[TS]
01:09:51
◼

way to get an episode that's way less
[TS]
01:09:53
◼
►
friction
[TS]
01:09:53
◼
►
yeah exactly so i am really curious to
[TS]
01:09:57
◼
►
see how this plays out and to see who
[TS]
01:09:59
◼
►
buys his ads like you know once once
[TS]
01:10:01
◼
►
people can actually start seeing my
[TS]
01:10:04
◼
►
prices publicly like a few emails once
[TS]
01:10:06
◼
►
people have data of what a month worth
[TS]
01:10:10
◼
►
of clicks and new subscriptions look
[TS]
01:10:11
◼
►
like and for how much money that could
[TS]
01:10:14
◼
►
change things you know that because we'd
[TS]
01:10:16
◼
►
right now none of us me the average none
[TS]
01:10:18
◼
►
of us know whether these are going to be
[TS]
01:10:20
◼
►
a good deal or not because we don't have
[TS]
01:10:22
◼
►
enough data yet so we're gonna find out
[TS]
01:10:24
◼
►
and it might be an incredibly good deal
[TS]
01:10:26
◼
►
might end up being by far the best way
[TS]
01:10:28
◼
►
to get new listeners to a podcast or it
[TS]
01:10:31
◼
►
might be that there's just too few
[TS]
01:10:33
◼
►
people for it to make any financial
[TS]
01:10:35
◼
►
sense i don't know we're gonna find out
[TS]
01:10:37
◼
►
and if that's the case then I'll just
[TS]
01:10:39
◼
►
fill up a hover and don't care so few
[TS]
01:10:43
◼
►
quick hits regarding that do you want to
[TS]
01:10:46
◼
►
disclose even an order of magnitude of
[TS]
01:10:48
◼
►
pricing like we talking tens of dollars
[TS]
01:10:50
◼
►
or ten thousands of dollars or so he can
[TS]
01:10:53
◼
►
you narrow it down because i assume that
[TS]
01:10:54
◼
►
you're going to get a thousand emails
[TS]
01:10:55
◼
►
about you know I don't even know how
[TS]
01:10:57
◼
►
much this costs can afford this
[TS]
01:10:59
◼
►
so is there like a rough order
[TS]
01:11:01
◼
►
magnitude you can say for pricing as the
[TS]
01:11:03
◼
►
as we record tonight which obviously
[TS]
01:11:05
◼
►
could change no answer asked me a few
[TS]
01:11:09
◼
►
weeks that that's why we'll have a much
[TS]
01:11:10
◼
►
better idea of what these things will
[TS]
01:11:12
◼
►
actually be charged for you know
[TS]
01:11:14
◼
►
long-term her trying to the Marcos
[TS]
01:11:18
◼

currently trying to talk himself off the
[TS]
01:11:19
◼
►
ledge of making this an auction system
[TS]
01:11:21
◼
►
so it's all right for him in this
[TS]
01:11:22
◼
►
endeavor 11 system that i thought was
[TS]
01:11:25
◼
►
using you kind of had there should be
[TS]
01:11:27
◼
►
some way to to you know kind of
[TS]
01:11:30
◼
►
automatically scale with demand so one
[TS]
01:11:32
◼
►
thing I thought was just like just sell
[TS]
01:11:34
◼
►
them for 30 days and just say you know
[TS]
01:11:37
◼
►
here's how many ads there are the system
[TS]
01:11:39
◼
►
right now and keep the price fixed and
[TS]
01:11:41
◼
►
just you know that the market kind of
[TS]
01:11:43
◼
►
work that out right because like if if
[TS]
01:11:45
◼
►
the price is really low then a bunch of
[TS]
01:11:46
◼
►
people will buy it and then every apple
[TS]
01:11:48
◼
►
just get fewer impressions so it kind of
[TS]
01:11:51
◼
►
is self-regulating I think I don't know
[TS]
01:11:54
◼
►
this is I i I'm throwing around all
[TS]
01:11:56
◼
►
these differences in my head of how they
[TS]
01:11:57
◼
►
should be built house should be sold and
[TS]
01:12:00
◼
►
the there's a reason why there are so
[TS]
01:12:01
◼
►
few initial partners on board because
[TS]
01:12:03
◼
►
everyone who's advertising it right now
[TS]
01:12:06
◼
►
I've worked out i've gone to them in
[TS]
01:12:08
◼
►
advance and say and said like hey here's
[TS]
01:12:10
◼
►
what's going on I don't know what this
[TS]
01:12:13
◼
►
is going to be yet and you know so it
[TS]
01:12:15
◼
►
you know we're going to some in this
[TS]
01:12:17
◼
►
kind of like trial mode and we're gonna
[TS]
01:12:19
◼
►
share data you know I'm gonna tell you
[TS]
01:12:21
◼
►
what this gets you and you're gonna tell
[TS]
01:12:23
◼
►
me if you get click through on your
[TS]
01:12:24
◼
►
website and everything else and we're
[TS]
01:12:25
◼
►
gonna figure out what is it with this
[TS]
01:12:26
◼
►
actually works because right now I have
[TS]
01:12:28
◼
►
no idea
[TS]
01:12:29
◼
►
so it's way too early i mean this has
[TS]
01:12:31
◼
►
been the store for like a day and a half
[TS]
01:12:32
◼
►
so it's just way too early for me to to
[TS]
01:12:36
◼
►
have useful data yet so what is the
[TS]
01:12:38
◼
►
appropriate mechanism by which you could
[TS]
01:12:41
◼
►
be contact contacted if somebody wants
[TS]
01:12:43
◼
►
to buy that you go to the site go to the
[TS]
01:12:45
◼
►
contact page and it says there it says
[TS]
01:12:47
◼
►
you know for a degrees email here so do
[TS]
01:12:50
◼
►
that but it might want that overcast at
[TS]
01:12:53
◼
►
yeah and and it might be a week or two
[TS]
01:12:56
◼
►
before i can actually get back to you
[TS]
01:12:58
◼
►
with something useful
[TS]
01:12:59
◼
►
alright and then finally out of this is
[TS]
01:13:02
◼
►
more out of my own curiosity how are you
[TS]
01:13:04
◼
►
are are you providing I mean you just
[TS]
01:13:06
◼
►
hinted at it a second ago are you
[TS]
01:13:08
◼
►
providing any sort of like analytics and
[TS]
01:13:10
◼
►
is there like a portal for that or is
[TS]
01:13:11
◼
►
this just you ripping off emails when
[TS]
01:13:13
◼
►
the time comes like what's your
[TS]
01:13:14
◼
►
intention
[TS]
01:13:14
◼
►
that they're at my intention is that
[TS]
01:13:18
◼
►
people who buy the ads will be able to
[TS]
01:13:20
◼
►
log into a portal and see the
[TS]
01:13:22
◼
►
performance of the ads they bought i
[TS]
01:13:24
◼
►
haven't actually built that yet i do
[TS]
01:13:26
◼
►
have a ride just have one giant
[TS]
01:13:28
◼
►
dashboard that I can see in my admin
[TS]
01:13:30
◼
►
panel I can see how they're doing and
[TS]
01:13:31
◼
►
the only tracking is a little privacy
[TS]
01:13:34
◼
►
policy on track is three things clicks
[TS]
01:13:37
◼
►
views and subscriptions if their podcast
[TS]
01:13:40
◼
►
ads that's it for websites just click
[TS]
01:13:42
◼
►
views and they can be targeted by
[TS]
01:13:44
◼
►
podcast category so you can say show
[TS]
01:13:46

[TS]
01:13:54
◼
►
category in the directory optionally and
[TS]
01:13:57
◼
►

[TS]
01:14:00
◼
►
and so you know it's a very very simple
[TS]
01:14:02
◼
►
system it's very low on data because AI
[TS]
01:14:07
◼
►
find too much data in that situation
[TS]

►

it and you absolutely should read it and

01:16:22

unbelievable it was the behavior of of

[TS]
01:16:55
◼

magnitude pretty much from the moment
[TS]
01:16:57
◼
►
she got there until the moment she left
[TS]
01:16:59
◼
►
and and to me the most despicable thing
[TS]
01:17:02
◼
►
that I found about this whole story was
[TS]
01:17:06
◼
►
that she was told when she bubbled up
[TS]
01:17:08
◼
►
these complaints to HR at uber that she

one particular individual yeah that was

it was a first-time offense right thing

[TS]
01:20:28
◼

you were really doing a bad job of
[TS]
01:20:31
◼
►
looking at your own company for very
[TS]
01:20:33
◼

different things that should be really
[TS]
01:20:34

common sense like something something is

[TS]
01:20:42

the cause of this know like the HR
[TS]
01:20:44

[TS]
01:20:52
◼
►
party you know judge system HR their
[TS]
01:20:56
◼
►
main role is to prevent the company from
[TS]
01:20:59
◼
►
getting sued and to mitigate risks that
[TS]
01:21:01
◼
►
might cause that this HR department
[TS]
01:21:03
◼
►
isn't even doing that job well that's
[TS]
01:21:05
◼
►
like so many parts of this company this
[TS]
01:21:07
◼
►
edge our department is terrible at it
[TS]
01:21:09
◼
►
even at its ostensible job not even that
[TS]
01:21:12
◼
►
it's like theoretical job and every
[TS]
01:21:14
◼
►
world right but like the the point like
[TS]
01:21:16
◼
►
the HR department job is to protect the
[TS]
01:21:18
◼
►
company from its employees that is
[TS]
01:21:20
◼
►
literally their job
[TS]
01:21:22
◼
►
yeah if the HR department is is being
[TS]
01:21:24
◼
►
directed or being incentivized to do
[TS]
01:21:27
◼
►
horrible things by the people who run
[TS]
01:21:29
◼
►
the company they're going to do horrible
[TS]
01:21:31
◼
►
things and it should come as no surprise
[TS]
01:21:34
◼
►
that i'm i'm pretty sure it's BS that
[TS]
01:21:37
◼
►
did come as a surprise i'm pretty sure
[TS]
01:21:38
◼
►
that this was no surprise it should come
[TS]
01:21:40
◼
►
as no surprise to the CEO of a company
[TS]
01:21:42
◼
►
that horrible stuff goes on in HR when
[TS]
01:21:47
◼
►
he himself seems to be a pretty horrible
[TS]
01:21:50
◼
►
person from the little bit that I know
[TS]
01:21:52
◼
►
and the company does lots of horrible
[TS]
01:21:54
◼
►
things and has a complete culture of
[TS]
01:21:57
◼
►
being horrible and toxic and
[TS]
01:21:59
◼
►
disrespectful of everyone including
[TS]
01:22:01
◼
►
especially women
[TS]
01:22:03
◼
►
this is not the first time they've had
[TS]
01:22:04
◼
►
problems with problems with women in
[TS]
01:22:06
◼
►
particular like
[TS]
01:22:08
◼
►
it's not the first one not by a long
[TS]
01:22:10
◼
►
shot and so this his whole thing about
[TS]
01:22:14
◼
►
i'm shocked i'm gonna you know
[TS]
01:22:16
◼
►
investigators immediately that's BS
[TS]
01:22:17
◼
►
that's complete BS like yeah so I don't
[TS]
01:22:20
◼
►
believe that for a second
[TS]
01:22:21
◼
►
none of this should be forgiven and none
[TS]
01:22:23
◼
►
of it should be isolated to a couple bad
[TS]
01:22:26
◼
►
apples in the HR department because it's
[TS]
01:22:28
◼
►
not that it's it's a deep-rooted
[TS]
01:22:30
◼
►
cultural problem systemic failure it is
[TS]
01:22:32
◼
►
absolutely a systemic failure and it
[TS]
01:22:34
◼
►
comes right from the top
[TS]
01:22:36
◼
►
it comes right from the top but that's
[TS]
01:22:37
◼
►
why this is such a great example like
[TS]
01:22:39
◼
►
very very often people who are not
[TS]
01:22:40
◼
►
steeped in these issues don't spend all
[TS]
01:22:42
◼
►
the time you know we're reading about
[TS]
01:22:44
◼
►
them what ever hear the phrase
[TS]
01:22:45
◼
►
institutional underscore institutional
[TS]
01:22:48
◼
►
sexism institutional bias or whatever
[TS]
01:22:50
◼
►
and it seems like a buzz or anything
[TS]
01:22:52
◼
►
that doesn't make any sense but a
[TS]
01:22:54
◼
►
reasonable working definition is based
[TS]
01:22:57
◼
►
on examples like this where you find
[TS]
01:22:59
◼
►
yourself in a situation where there but
[TS]
01:23:02
◼
►
there is some kind of institution or
[TS]
01:23:03
◼
►
authority that structure could be the
[TS]
01:23:05
◼
►
government but it could also be the
[TS]
01:23:06
◼
►
company that you work for which even
[TS]
01:23:07
◼
►
though it is not the government it is it
[TS]
01:23:09
◼
►
is it a you know at an organizational
[TS]
01:23:11
◼
►
structure with authority over your life
[TS]
01:23:13
◼
►
that you work within for as long as you
[TS]
01:23:15
◼
►
decide you want to work there and in
[TS]
01:23:18
◼
►
this case as in so many other cases in
[TS]
01:23:20
◼
►
many other companies you know forever
[TS]
01:23:22
◼
►
and ever
[TS]
01:23:23
◼
►
the institution has certain attitudes
[TS]
01:23:29
◼
►
towards whatever you might be whether be
[TS]
01:23:31
◼
►
minorities are older people or women or
[TS]
01:23:34
◼
►
whatever and those those policies and
[TS]
01:23:38
◼
►
and biases and views come through in the
[TS]
01:23:41
◼
►
rules that govern everybody else so you
[TS]
01:23:44
◼
►
have an HR department that it was
[TS]
01:23:46
◼
►
functioning well in its role as Marco
[TS]
01:23:48
◼
►
described it to protect the company from
[TS]
01:23:50
◼
►
its people you know part of this it did
[TS]
01:23:53
◼
►
at like HR like any other part of the
[TS]
01:23:54
◼
►
company's supposed to make the company
[TS]
01:23:57
◼
►
more successful so if there is a
[TS]
01:23:59
◼
►
problematic employee HR has to deal with
[TS]
01:24:02
◼
►
that that employees doing things that
[TS]
01:24:04
◼
►
could get the company sued it is in the
[TS]
01:24:06
◼
►
company and hrs best interest to solve
[TS]
01:24:08
◼
►
that problem and the most reasonable way
[TS]
01:24:12
◼
►
to solve it is to try to make the
[TS]
01:24:14
◼
►
company a place where people want to
[TS]
01:24:16
◼
►
work and that usually means taking the
[TS]
01:24:18
◼
►
toxic person and
[TS]
01:24:19
◼
►
you know disciplining them are getting
[TS]
01:24:21
◼
►
rid of them right
[TS]
01:24:22
◼
►
it becomes much more difficult when that
[TS]
01:24:25
◼
►
person is high up in the organization or
[TS]
01:24:26
◼
►
as they say in this thing is a high
[TS]
01:24:28
◼
►
performer
[TS]
01:24:29
◼
►
yeah and that person is valuable to the
[TS]
01:24:31
◼
►
company right right right but but you
[TS]
01:24:33
◼
►
know there is that the larger value to
[TS]
01:24:35
◼
►
the company but anyway these
[TS]
01:24:36
◼
►
institutions have control over many of
[TS]
01:24:39
◼
►
these employees lives for as long as
[TS]
01:24:40
◼
►
they work at the company and yes it is
[TS]
01:24:42
◼
►
always optional it just get another job
[TS]
01:24:44
◼
►
someplace else but the thing about
[TS]
01:24:45
◼
►
institutional sexism or any other sort
[TS]
01:24:48
◼
►
of institutional biases it's not always
[TS]
01:24:51
◼
►
clear and it very often is not the case
[TS]
01:24:53
◼
►
and it's very difficult to tell that if
[TS]
01:24:54
◼
►
i were to leave this tech job and go to
[TS]
01:24:56
◼
►
a different tech job will that company
[TS]
01:24:58
◼
►
have better attitudes towards you know
[TS]
01:25:01
◼
►
what whatever my thing is but it's
[TS]
01:25:03
◼
►
minorities or women or maybe maybe not
[TS]
01:25:05
◼
►
like that that's a selling point of a
[TS]
01:25:07
◼
►
company but if you're in this control is
[TS]
01:25:09
◼
►
a it's not that easy to change jobs and
[TS]
01:25:10
◼
►
be if you're within this control
[TS]
01:25:12
◼
►
structure these these policies and
[TS]
01:25:15
◼
►
attitudes and the things that will
[TS]
01:25:17
◼
►
happen to you uh seem like an injustice
[TS]
01:25:20
◼
►
because they are injustice because you
[TS]
01:25:24
◼
►
view the the authority of the company as
[TS]
01:25:28
◼
►
the arbiter of that you know the rules
[TS]
01:25:32
◼
►
of play within the company it's not as
[TS]
01:25:33
◼
►
if people are getting murdered right so
[TS]
01:25:35
◼
►
it's not it's not the most part usually
[TS]
01:25:36
◼
►
not a criminal type of thing it is here
[TS]
01:25:38
◼
►
are the rules as set out and if there
[TS]
01:25:40
◼
►
are any violation of the rules or
[TS]
01:25:43
◼
►
violation of what I think should be the
[TS]
01:25:44
◼
►
norms there is an authority that I
[TS]
01:25:46
◼
►
appeal to whether it be my manager my
[TS]
01:25:48
◼
►
manager's manager at the HR department
[TS]
01:25:50
◼
►
whatever it may be
[TS]
01:25:51
◼
►
for example he found in an error in your
[TS]
01:25:53
◼
►
payroll like you know you got paid the
[TS]
01:25:55
◼
►
wrong amount you go to the payroll
[TS]
01:25:56
◼
►
department and in a functioning company
[TS]
01:25:58
◼
►
the payroll department job is to make
[TS]
01:26:00
◼
►
sure that everybody gets paid the amount
[TS]
01:26:02
◼
►
they're supposed to be paid and if
[TS]
01:26:03
◼
►
there's an error and you brought to the
[TS]
01:26:04
◼
►
payroll department if the institution is
[TS]
01:26:07
◼
►
functioning correctly they would correct
[TS]
01:26:10
◼
►
the error or tell you that is not an
[TS]
01:26:12
◼
►
error because they did some weird thing
[TS]
01:26:13
◼
►
with taxes that they would then explain
[TS]
01:26:15
◼
►
that's the function of the payroll
[TS]
01:26:16
◼
►
department think anybody would argue
[TS]
01:26:17
◼
►
with like a you know like it would seem
[TS]
01:26:20
◼
►
like an injustice if you found your
[TS]
01:26:21
◼
►
missing hundred bucks on your paycheck
[TS]
01:26:22
◼
►
and you brought to the payroll
[TS]
01:26:24
◼
►
department of the institution that you
[TS]
01:26:26
◼
►
are in and they didn't correct that
[TS]
01:26:28
◼
►
error tried to tell you that you did
[TS]
01:26:29
◼
►
your math wrong or said well it's only
[TS]
01:26:31
◼
►
its first time we made this mistake
[TS]
01:26:33
◼
►
don't worry about it like that would
[TS]
01:26:35
◼
►
feel like an injustice even though you
[TS]
01:26:37
◼
►
know it it's just a payroll department
[TS]
01:26:39
◼
►
the company work and if you don't like
[TS]
01:26:40
◼
►
it get another job right that's the
[TS]
01:26:41
◼
►
whole attitude you here but it is an
[TS]
01:26:44
◼
►
injustice because that's what the fuck
[TS]
01:26:45
◼
►
that thing is positive so if the company
[TS]
01:26:47
◼
►
says all we were all inclusive employer
[TS]
01:26:49
◼
►
and we love everybody and you know we
[TS]
01:26:51
◼
►
certainly don't condone sexual
[TS]
01:26:53
◼
►
harassment which any company will take
[TS]
01:26:54
◼
►
it will say if you ask them hey company
[TS]
01:26:56
◼
►
X you can on sexual harassment they're
[TS]
01:26:57
◼
►
all say they don't write so it's their
[TS]
01:26:59
◼
►
stated policy not to so this happens to
[TS]
01:27:02
◼
►
you in a company in any company that
[TS]
01:27:04
◼
►
stage is going to say that and you take
[TS]
01:27:07
◼
►
this thing to the authority of the
[TS]
01:27:08
◼
►
institution that you are working within
[TS]
01:27:10
◼
►
and you say hey HR department were
[TS]
01:27:12
◼
►
supposed to be a company in which people
[TS]
01:27:15
◼
►
don't get sexually harassed it's my
[TS]
01:27:16
◼
►
first day of my job and my boss was
[TS]
01:27:18
◼
►
propositioning me for sex
[TS]
01:27:20
◼
►
here you go it's on a silver platter now
[TS]
01:27:22
◼
►
HR do do your job as stated you know
[TS]
01:27:25
◼
►
like it's and again it's not as if like
[TS]
01:27:27
◼
►
I'm expecting a charter to protect me
[TS]
01:27:29
◼
►
they should be protecting the company by
[TS]
01:27:31
◼
►
having someone like this in it because
[TS]
01:27:33
◼
►
it's against their state of policy and
[TS]
01:27:35
◼
►
it's bad for business period the only
[TS]
01:27:38
◼
►
reason you wouldn't do that if is it
[TS]
01:27:40
◼
►
there is institutional bias and sexism
[TS]
01:27:42
◼
►
from the highest levels to say actually
[TS]
01:27:45
◼
►
the strategy want to take here is to
[TS]
01:27:47

inno and then she had problems there as

well and other issues and she would
[TS]
01:28:44
◼

bring them to HR and they would do the
[TS]
01:28:45
◼

same thing and I
[TS]
01:28:46
◼
►
about all the other people this is
[TS]
01:28:48
◼
►
institutional sexism where the
[TS]
01:28:50
◼
►
institution is working against her she
[TS]
01:28:52
◼
►
has a reasonable expectation according
[TS]
01:28:54
◼
►
to state policies of the company that
[TS]
01:28:55
◼
►
the people whose job it is to be the the
[TS]
01:28:57
◼
►
the referees for this area just like the
[TS]
01:29:00
◼
►
payroll department the referee for how
[TS]
01:29:01
◼
►
much you get paid are failing to act and
[TS]
01:29:05
◼
►
that is like the definition of injustice
[TS]
01:29:06
◼
►
and when it's an institution its
[TS]
01:29:08
◼
►
definition of institutional sexism and
[TS]
01:29:10
◼
►
you can expand that out any institution
[TS]
01:29:11
◼
►
you want whether it be your family unit
[TS]
01:29:14
◼
►
at the smallest institution where maybe
[TS]
01:29:15
◼
►
everyone in your family takes all the
[TS]
01:29:17
◼
►
wife should stay at home with their kids
[TS]
01:29:18
◼
►
all way up to the government with
[TS]
01:29:20
◼
►
policies that are you know biased in in
[TS]
01:29:23
◼
►
one direction other against people who
[TS]
01:29:25
◼
►
are minorities or people who are women
[TS]
01:29:27
◼
►
which is the opposite of a minority and
[TS]
01:29:30
◼
►
so that that's what's maddening to like
[TS]
01:29:33
◼
►
this the reason you know the whole
[TS]
01:29:34
◼
►
social justice movement and the
[TS]
01:29:37
◼
►
pejorative sjw that's used the reason
[TS]
01:29:41
◼
►
they have the word justice in them is
[TS]
01:29:42
◼
►
because all of them derived from a
[TS]
01:29:44
◼
►
recognition that every large grouping
[TS]
01:29:47
◼
►
organizational structure has you know
[TS]
01:29:51
◼
►
has your behavior as an overall organism
[TS]
01:29:55
◼
►
that is it emerges from the attitudes of
[TS]
01:29:58
◼
►
the people running it and despite what
[TS]
01:30:01
◼
►
people may say it's pretty easy to find
[TS]
01:30:04
◼
►
out if you're in a situation where the
[TS]
01:30:06
◼
►
institution is working against you and
[TS]
01:30:09
◼
►
where the supposed places you go to
[TS]
01:30:12
◼
►
resolve whatever issues you have whether
[TS]
01:30:15
◼
►
it's a discrepancy in your paycheck or
[TS]
01:30:17
◼
►
someone violating what you think is an
[TS]
01:30:18
◼
►
HR policy if those institutions fail to
[TS]
01:30:22
◼
►
act or actively work against you that
[TS]
01:30:25
◼
►
feels like and is an injustice and
[TS]
01:30:27
◼
►
that's what people are fighting against
[TS]
01:30:29
◼
►
you know and i think that the payroll
[TS]
01:30:31
◼
►
analogy is the one that probably works
[TS]
01:30:34
◼
►
because most people think that's a
[TS]
01:30:35
◼
►
no-brainer like they understand the role
[TS]
01:30:37
◼
►
the payroll department and if they don't
[TS]
01:30:38
◼
►
get paid the money they were promised
[TS]
01:30:40
◼
►
that is an injustice but you you apply
[TS]
01:30:42
◼
►
the exact same thing to other things
[TS]
01:30:43
◼
►
like well he's a really nice guy he's
[TS]
01:30:46
◼
►
really important in the company and
[TS]
01:30:48
◼
►
can't just change to a different place
[TS]
01:30:50
◼
►
because like like it just boggles my
[TS]
01:30:54
◼
►
mind that any modern company like these
[TS]
01:30:55
◼
►
things would ever happen is almost sound
[TS]
01:30:57
◼
►
fantastical but then you'll hear the
[TS]
01:30:59
◼
►
same story
[TS]
01:31:00
◼
►
from tons like to talk to women that you
[TS]
01:31:02
◼
►
know who worked in large companies for
[TS]
01:31:03
◼
►
any part of their career you'll hear the
[TS]
01:31:05
◼
►
same stories everywhere and that's
[TS]
01:31:07
◼
►
another clue to you that this is an
[TS]
01:31:08
◼
►
institutional thing it's not just uber
[TS]
01:31:09
◼
►
that whoever is a bad company over is
[TS]
01:31:11
◼
►
the one bad apple everybody else is fine
[TS]
01:31:13
◼
►
it is everywhere it is systemic is
[TS]
01:31:16
◼
►
societal it is cultural it is
[TS]
01:31:18
◼
►
institutional that's that's the
[TS]
01:31:19
◼
►
definition and that's why the stories
[TS]
01:31:22
◼
►
like this is depressing because no
[TS]
01:31:24
◼
►
matter what uber does a is probably not
[TS]
01:31:26
◼
►
going to change uber because i haven't
[TS]
01:31:29
◼
►
changed by now they're probably never
[TS]
01:31:30
◼
►
will and B it's not going to solve the
[TS]
01:31:33
◼
►
problem and all the other places the
[TS]
01:31:34
◼
►
only way you can fix it systemically is
[TS]
01:31:36
◼
►
with systemic solutions and cultural
[TS]
01:31:37
◼
►
change and all the stuff that takes
[TS]
01:31:39
◼
►
really long time and it's very difficult
[TS]
01:31:41
◼
►
to do and that's why stories like this
[TS]
01:31:43
◼
►
are very depressing and since since this
[TS]
01:31:47
◼
►
original blog post was written and in

◼
►
just the last few hours we record

01:32:02
◼
►
and that was only in San Francisco this
[TS]
01:32:04
◼
►
is that over in San Francisco like

[TS]
01:32:18
◼
►
of this anymore like here again like I
[TS]
01:32:21
◼
►
like to think of myself as reasonably
[TS]
01:32:22
◼
►
woke but if I mean I don't know if I
[TS]
01:32:24
◼
►
would have the the gumption to just walk

◼
►
away from my job that's putting food on

01:32:43
◼

to time at my work and I and i'm not

01:32:52
◼
►

[TS]
01:32:53
◼
►
and I try to do my best to correct it
[TS]
01:32:56
◼
►
when it happens but this stuff happens
[TS]
01:32:58
◼
►
everywhere it's not unique to San
[TS]
01:32:59
◼
►
Francisco it's not unique to offer
[TS]
01:33:01
◼
►
although over seems to be excelling in
[TS]
01:33:03
◼
►
this department
[TS]
01:33:04
◼
►
it's everywhere and and it's up to
[TS]
01:33:07
◼
►
everyone but particularly those of us
[TS]
01:33:10
◼
►
who are not up
[TS]
01:33:12
◼
►
dressed like the three of us to give
[TS]
01:33:16
◼
►
credence to the stories of those who are
[TS]
01:33:19
◼
►
to pay attention to the stories of those
[TS]
01:33:22
◼
►
who are and to try to fix or speak for
[TS]
01:33:26
◼
►
or really even better give the
[TS]
01:33:28
◼
►
microphone to which is comical since i'm
[TS]
01:33:30
◼
►
talking into a microphone now and not
[TS]
01:33:32
◼
►
doing this but anyway give the
[TS]
01:33:34
◼
►
microphone to someone who is depressed
[TS]
01:33:35
◼
►
and and who didn't allow them to speak
[TS]
01:33:38
◼
►
for themselves
[TS]
01:33:39
◼
►
the other thing i like about this post
[TS]
01:33:41
◼
►
is I think it does a good job of
[TS]
01:33:43
◼
►
explaining why someone might stay in a
[TS]
01:33:45
◼
►
job like this happens because it's
[TS]
01:33:47
◼
►
always the reactions like well just quit
[TS]
01:33:48
◼
►
if you don't like it just quit right
[TS]
01:33:50
◼
►
there are mitigating factors one of
[TS]
01:33:53
◼
►
which maybe you really like the work
[TS]
01:33:55
◼
►
you're doing and it's technically
[TS]
01:33:57
◼
►
interesting and you are you know growing
[TS]
01:33:59
◼
►
your skills and maybe even like the
[TS]
01:34:01
◼
►
people you work with right you know it's
[TS]
01:34:03
◼
►
very possible to be in a company whose
[TS]
01:34:05
◼
►
institutions are failing you but
[TS]
01:34:07
◼
►
nevertheless you you enjoy your peers
[TS]
01:34:09
◼

and employees maybe you enjoy your
[TS]
01:34:11
◼

direct manager but you know that you
[TS]
01:34:13
◼
►
don't takes one bad person and then 11
[TS]
01:34:17
◼
►
non-functioning institution to fail to
[TS]
01:34:20
◼
►
you know to fail to do its job to
[TS]
01:34:22
◼
►
protect the company from toxic employees
[TS]
01:34:25
◼
►
like this to you know like your
[TS]
01:34:27
◼
►
retention is part of the job of HR 100
[TS]
01:34:29
◼
►
people quit because something like this
[TS]
01:34:31
◼
►
that you are not doing its job right but
[TS]
01:34:33
◼
►
it's like why does she stay in this job
[TS]
01:34:35
◼
►
i think this this article has a good
[TS]
01:34:37
◼
►
description of why someone but why it's
[TS]
01:34:38
◼
►
not just like oh well someone you know
[TS]
01:34:41
◼
►
said something you know Lou to me and
[TS]
01:34:44
◼
►
therefore i got to quit the next day and
[TS]
01:34:45
◼
►
if you don't quit the next day it's your
[TS]
01:34:46
◼

own fault right
[TS]
01:34:47
◼
►
that's a ridiculous thing like people
[TS]
01:34:49
◼

are more complicated than just did
[TS]
01:34:51
◼
►
they're not you know it's not just one
[TS]
01:34:53
◼
►
thing right and so that's why this thing
[TS]
01:34:55
◼
►
is like reflecting on a very strange
[TS]
01:34:57
◼
►
year like it is very even-handed and I
[TS]
01:35:00
◼
►
think when you read it you can see the
[TS]
01:35:02
◼
►
excitement of working for a company will
[TS]
01:35:04
◼
►
help with a lot of VC money doing
[TS]
01:35:05
◼
►
interesting technical stuff with people
[TS]
01:35:07
◼
►
that you enjoy and expanding your skills
[TS]
01:35:08
◼
►
and generally having a career
[TS]
01:35:10
◼
►
the thing that most people get to have
[TS]
01:35:11
◼
►
like and that is that is the tension do
[TS]
01:35:13
◼
►
you want to have a career or your entire
[TS]
01:35:15
◼
►
career going to be sending reports HR
[TS]
01:35:18
◼
►
every time someone does something that
[TS]
01:35:19
◼
►
you just like I should have to choose
[TS]
01:35:21
◼
►
between those two things like can't I
[TS]
01:35:23
◼
►
have a career and not be sexually
[TS]
01:35:25
◼
►
arrested that is
[TS]
01:35:26
◼
►
not even an option on the table I'm and
[TS]
01:35:28
◼
►
so it makes people have these ridiculous
[TS]
01:35:31
◼
►
choices like well it's not really that
[TS]
01:35:34
◼
►
bad is it and I guess I'll just tolerate
[TS]
01:35:37
◼
►
it and I just keep reporting it to HR
[TS]
01:35:39
◼
►
may be able to do something eventually
[TS]
01:35:40
◼
►
and it's just it's not a healthy
[TS]
01:35:42
◼

situation but like the expectation that
[TS]
01:35:47
◼
►
everything is your fault if you don't
[TS]
01:35:50
◼
►
immediately storm out and quit the first
[TS]
01:35:53
◼
►
time someone does something you don't
[TS]
01:35:55
◼
►
otherwise like it as the HR department
[TS]
01:35:57
◼
►
well it's really your own fault that
[TS]
01:35:59
◼
►
point he's going to give you negative
[TS]
01:36:00
◼
►
performance review but you can't really
[TS]
01:36:01
◼
►
blame the guy right and I mean like that
[TS]
01:36:04
◼
►
might have been over a lot of people's
[TS]
01:36:05
◼

lines but it really depends on what
[TS]
01:36:08
◼

state you are in your career and how
[TS]
01:36:09
◼

much you know the world and you know
[TS]
01:36:11

what capacity you have to leave your job
[TS]
01:36:13
◼

at that moment and how excited you are
[TS]
01:36:15
◼

to be able to work in this thing is like

discussion and I think you know whatever

you work for a company like people might

be talking about the story especially if

[TS]
01:38:49
◼

felt like HR has failed them in some way
[TS]
01:38:51
◼

things like this happen all the time I
[TS]
01:38:54
◼

mean that you know people are people and
[TS]
01:38:55
◼
►
there's always communication gaps but
[TS]
01:38:56
◼

it's like a teachable moment type thing
[TS]
01:38:59
◼
►
where would a good company will do with
[TS]
01:39:01
◼

a good HR department is use this to say
[TS]
01:39:05
◼

if this is happening here we don't want
[TS]
01:39:08
◼
►
it to and let us know and employee
[TS]
01:39:12
◼
►
should talk amongst themselves like
[TS]
01:39:13
◼
►
sometimes people don't talk about you
[TS]
01:39:14
◼
►
know like they'll report some of the HR
[TS]
01:39:16
◼
►
but maybe you don't tell like your peers
[TS]
01:39:17
◼
►
that you did that you know because you
[TS]
01:39:19
◼
►
don't want to because you fear
[TS]
01:39:20
◼
►
retribution which is itself a very bad
[TS]
01:39:22
◼
►
sign right off the bat but sometimes it
[TS]
01:39:24
◼
►
takes something like this like it's the
[TS]
01:39:26
◼
►
same reason they didn't know the the
[TS]
01:39:28
◼
►
woman's company didn't get together
[TS]
01:39:29
◼
►
immediately they had to eventually
[TS]
01:39:31
◼
►
figure out late but I reported that same
[TS]
01:39:32
◼
►
guy and they told me it was the first
[TS]
01:39:33
◼
►
time like these conversations need to
[TS]
01:39:35
◼
►
happen and health company should happen
[TS]
01:39:37
◼
►
and as this story went around people at
[TS]
01:39:41
◼
►
you know at my job
[TS]
01:39:42
◼
►
people started talking about it and you
[TS]
01:39:44
◼
►
know talking about their experiences
[TS]
01:39:46
◼
►
with HR
[TS]
01:39:47
◼
►
at our company and and and how it
[TS]
01:39:49
◼
►
compares to this story and like if you
[TS]
01:39:52
◼
►
don't hear about these stories and you
[TS]
01:39:54
◼
►
don't think it's happening your company
[TS]
01:39:55
◼
►
maybe it's totally not but maybe it is
[TS]
01:39:57
◼
►
you're just not hearing about it because
[TS]
01:39:58
◼
►
it hasn't happened to you and the people
[TS]
01:39:59
◼
►
has happened to you haven't felt like
[TS]
01:40:01
◼
►
they could tell you for you know and
[TS]
01:40:03
◼
►
like the worst it is probably the more
[TS]
01:40:05
◼
►
hesitant people will be to share these
[TS]
01:40:07
◼
►
stories because it really is bad and you
[TS]
01:40:09
◼
►
really are punished for reporting it and
[TS]
01:40:12
◼
►
this and you know the HR justifies
[TS]
01:40:14
◼
►
retaliation against you based on and
[TS]
01:40:16
◼
►
everything you're not going to tell your
[TS]
01:40:18
◼
►
coworkers that it's happening you're
[TS]
01:40:19
◼
►
going to keep your mouth shut and you're
[TS]
01:40:20
◼
►
not going to report another one because
[TS]
01:40:21
◼
►
you need this job like that's the case
[TS]
01:40:23
◼
►
wherever and clams up where is if there
[TS]
01:40:25
◼
►
really is an expectation and a
[TS]
01:40:26
◼
►
functioning HR department and someone
[TS]
01:40:28
◼
►
has a bad interaction and they they
[TS]
01:40:29
◼
►
should feel free to tell everyone that
[TS]
01:40:32
◼
►
all their co-workers and their boss
[TS]
01:40:34
◼
►
about it because they have an
[TS]
01:40:35
◼
►
expectation like this is not functioning
[TS]
01:40:36
◼
►
correctly and you know i was told
[TS]
01:40:38
◼
►
something that does not seem to comport
[TS]
01:40:40
◼
►
with the suppose that policies of this
[TS]
01:40:42
◼
►
company and that's the only way these
[TS]
01:40:44
◼
►
things get worked out because if people
[TS]
01:40:46
◼
►
are just quiet and go about their
[TS]
01:40:47
◼
►
business and try not to rock the boat
[TS]
01:40:49
◼
►
like that's not a good culture for
[TS]
01:40:50
◼
►
anything but you know it period in a
[TS]
01:40:53
◼
►
company was certainly a good culture for
[TS]
01:40:54
◼
►
making sure you have making sure you
[TS]
01:40:57
◼
►
have a company that is that is able to
[TS]
01:41:00
◼
►
retain employees good employees because
[TS]
01:41:02
◼
►
this person seems like a good employee
[TS]
01:41:03
◼
►
mean she she wrote a Riley book on the
[TS]
01:41:05
◼
►
topic and speak at conferences it's not
[TS]
01:41:07
◼
►
like she's just this random cog in the
[TS]
01:41:09
◼
►
machine right I'll just throw her away
[TS]
01:41:10
◼
►
we don't need to have that's right more
[TS]
01:41:11
◼
►
important to protect the high the high
[TS]
01:41:13
◼
►
performing sexual harasser it's
[TS]
01:41:16
◼
►
ridiculous but anyway a good HR
[TS]
01:41:17
◼
►
department will try to make a company
[TS]
01:41:19
◼
►
that is attractive to employees people
[TS]
01:41:21
◼
►
want to work there and once they do work
[TS]
01:41:22
◼
►
there they want to stay there that is
[TS]
01:41:24
◼
►
that you know it again it is not a role
[TS]
01:41:27
◼
►
that is in service of the employee but
[TS]
01:41:28
◼
►
it's a virtuous cycle if the HR
[TS]
01:41:31
◼
►
department realizes that by making it a
[TS]
01:41:34
◼
►
better company to work at they will be
[TS]
01:41:36
◼
►
protecting the company and they will be
[TS]
01:41:38
◼
►
making the company more successful even
[TS]
01:41:39
◼
►
if their main goal is to maine loyalties
[TS]
01:41:41
◼
►
to the company and not to the employee
[TS]
01:41:43
◼
►
was it Thursday of last week the day
[TS]
01:41:47
◼
►
after we recorded that we got a very
[TS]
01:41:50
◼
►
weird announcement out of Apple was a
[TS]
01:41:53
◼
►
Thursday or was it it was sometime after
[TS]
01:41:55
◼
►
we recorded and not too long after he
[TS]
01:41:57
◼
►
recorded 10 minutes after recording yeah
[TS]
01:41:59
◼
►
right that's what it felt like for sure
[TS]
01:42:01
◼
►
I I think Apple strolling us because
[TS]
01:42:03
◼
►
clearly they care about are recording
[TS]
01:42:05
◼
►
schedule
[TS]
01:42:06
◼
►
wdc 2017 has been announced it is a week
[TS]
01:42:09
◼
►
before I thought it would be
[TS]
01:42:12
◼
►
it is the 5th to 9th of june i had
[TS]
01:42:15
◼
►
guests and I was pretty confident it
[TS]
01:42:16
◼
►
would be the following week i'm wrong
[TS]
01:42:18
◼
►
I'd also guessed it would be in san
[TS]
01:42:19
◼
►
francisco and that's not right either so
[TS]
01:42:21
◼
►
it's going to san jose which apparently
[TS]
01:42:24
◼
►
is the most boring big city and all of
[TS]
01:42:28
◼
►
America from what I'm told
[TS]
01:42:30
◼
►
so that's the thing people who say that
[TS]
01:42:33
◼
►
have never been to any other cities in
[TS]
01:42:35
◼
►
America that's true and I mean I've
[TS]
01:42:37
◼
►
never been to san jose and I've heard
[TS]
01:42:40
◼
►
it's nice but I don't really know
[TS]
01:42:42
◼
►
anything about it but one way or another
[TS]
01:42:44
◼
►
they have announced wdc they've
[TS]
01:42:46
◼
►
announced dates this is way sooner than
[TS]
01:42:50
◼
►
they've done it in many years usually
[TS]
01:42:51
◼
►
it's like april or even may when they
[TS]
01:42:53
◼
►
announced that that.oh in a couple of
[TS]
01:42:55
◼
►
days you can buy tickets so get ready
[TS]
01:42:58
◼
►
and this is convenient if you're
[TS]
01:43:00
◼
►
somebody like us that's probably gonna
[TS]
01:43:03
◼
►
go regardless of whether or not you have
[TS]
01:43:04
◼
►
a ticket
[TS]
01:43:05
◼
►
it's also can mean if you're someone
[TS]
01:43:07
◼
►
that doesn't live in the United States
[TS]
01:43:08
◼
►
and needs to work out you know the entry
[TS]
01:43:13
◼
►
procedure and i'm just going to dance
[TS]
01:43:15
◼
►
around this whole topic it's just it's
[TS]
01:43:17
◼
►
nice to know wait advance and I think
[TS]
01:43:19
◼
►
part of if not most of the reason that
[TS]
01:43:21
◼
►
it was announced this far out is because
[TS]
01:43:23
◼
►
it's not san francisco and that changes
[TS]
01:43:24
◼
►
things and nobody really knows how it
[TS]
01:43:27
◼
►
changes things although i bet you were
[TS]
01:43:29
◼
►
going to talk about for a while huh
[TS]
01:43:31
◼
►
but it certainly changes things and and
[TS]
01:43:34
◼
►
i'm curious to see how this turns out
[TS]
01:43:37
◼
►
because it certainly gave me pause for a
[TS]
01:43:39
◼
►
minute because everything I've
[TS]
01:43:40
◼
►
understood about san jose is that it is
[TS]
01:43:43
◼
►
a really sleepy town after all the local
[TS]
01:43:46
◼
►
businesses you know go to sleep if you
[TS]
01:43:48
◼
►
will after business hours and a lot of
[TS]
01:43:52
◼
►
the reason that I go to WTC each year is
[TS]
01:43:54
◼
►
so i can hang out with you guys and all
[TS]
01:43:56
◼
►
my other friends and and and mutual
[TS]
01:43:58
◼
►
friends and and socialize and have fun
[TS]
01:44:01
◼
►
and and build the in continue to build
[TS]
01:44:04
◼
►
existing relationships and build new
[TS]
01:44:05
◼
►
relationships
[TS]
01:44:07
◼
►
and I don't know how conducive san jose
[TS]
01:44:10
◼
►
is to that for all I know it could be
[TS]
01:44:11
◼
►
great I mean I I really honestly don't
[TS]
01:44:13
◼
►
know but but it's certainly different
[TS]
01:44:16
◼
►
and you know what whatever how we gonna
[TS]
01:44:18
◼
►
go to the house of prime rib if it's an
[TS]
01:44:19
◼
►
hour away like that's not going to work
[TS]
01:44:22
◼
►
what do you do I think this is terrible
[TS]
01:44:23
◼
►
so I don't know John what do you think
[TS]
01:44:27
◼
►
about all this
[TS]
01:44:28
◼
►
well I don't like I don't like traveling
[TS]
01:44:29
◼
►
and I don't like change and I don't like
[TS]
01:44:31
◼
►
change to travel is it that I got used
[TS]
01:44:36
◼
►
to the flight to San Francisco and the
[TS]
01:44:40
◼
►
arrangements there and have was familiar
[TS]
01:44:43
◼
►
with enough of the city to start to feel
[TS]
01:44:44
◼
►
comfortable you know everything that he
[TS]
01:44:47
◼
►
said we need to change things up like as
[TS]
01:44:51
◼
►
as many people find out like the obvious
[TS]
01:44:52
◼
►
reason they would change this because
[TS]
01:44:54
◼
►
its marketing in for Apple because it's
[TS]
01:44:55
◼
►
closer to their headquarters
[TS]
01:44:57
◼
►
it's got to be cheaper than doing
[TS]
01:44:59
◼
►
anything in san francisco in theory it
[TS]
01:45:01
◼
►
was supposed to be cheaper for attendees
[TS]
01:45:02
◼
►
and practice I don't know if that will
[TS]
01:45:05
◼
►
be the case because obviously all the
[TS]
01:45:08
◼
►
traditional WWDC attendees plus the
[TS]
01:45:12
◼
►
people who go without a ticket for some
[TS]
01:45:13
◼
►
fraction of them anyway are going to
[TS]
01:45:16
◼
►
drive our prices but i did get a hotel
[TS]
01:45:20
◼
►
reservations provisional hotel
[TS]
01:45:21
◼
►
reservations for less money than I could
[TS]
01:45:23
◼
►
have gotten them in San Francisco for
[TS]
01:45:24
◼
►
the same week
[TS]
01:45:25
◼
►
not much less but a little bit less and
[TS]
01:45:27
◼
►
certainly a nice location so it's a
[TS]
01:45:29
◼
►
thousand dollars less the same here but
[TS]
01:45:32
◼
►
I i have not independently confirm this
[TS]
01:45:34
◼
►
but I had people that i saw on Twitter
[TS]
01:45:36
◼
►
saying that within a couple hours of
[TS]
01:45:38
◼
►
this announcement all those prices went
[TS]
01:45:40
◼
►
up to effectively equivalent to San
[TS]
01:45:43
◼
►
Francisco prices until at last couple
[TS]
01:45:45
◼
►
years it is ben and I'm sure we talked
[TS]
01:45:48
◼
►
about this on the show but it has been
[TS]
01:45:49
◼
►
for a middle-of-the-road hotel for the
[TS]
01:45:53
◼
►
area and an admittedly it's not the
[TS]
01:45:54
◼
►
greatest area for like sightseeing and
[TS]
01:45:56
◼
►
there's a bunch of problems with the
[TS]
01:45:57
◼
►
area in which WBC is to happen in San
[TS]
01:46:00
◼
►
Francisco but the point of the matter is
[TS]
01:46:01
◼
►
for a unremarkable hotel but not slummy
[TS]
01:46:05
◼
►
it was like four hundred dollars a night
[TS]
01:46:07
◼
►
i think i spend like 2500 or 3000
[TS]
01:46:11
◼
►
dollars for a week
[TS]
01:46:12
◼
►
arable five nights in san francisco and
[TS]
01:46:14
◼
►
somebody said to me at some point I wish
[TS]
01:46:16
◼
►
I could remember who was but somebody
[TS]
01:46:17
◼
►
pointed out last couple years in France
[TS]
01:46:20
◼
►
Cisco you're basically buying an Apple
[TS]
01:46:23
◼
►
watch every single night you were there
[TS]
01:46:25
◼
►
and then throwing it away
[TS]
01:46:26
◼
►
that's not expensive hotels but that was
[TS]
01:46:28
◼
►
a huge on ya just everybody say yeah
[TS]
01:46:30
◼
►
okay so that's that's barbaric that's
[TS]
01:46:34
◼
►
just as San Francisco or at least that
[TS]
01:46:36
◼
►
part of san francisco is not a nice
[TS]
01:46:38
◼
►
enough city to justify that kind of
[TS]
01:46:39
◼
►
price like it's just not i'm sorry and
[TS]
01:46:41
◼
►
and so here it is for a fleeting moments
[TS]
01:46:44
◼
►
and san jose's seemed like it would be a
[TS]
01:46:46
◼
►
whole lot better but from what I
[TS]
01:46:47
◼
►
understand all of the excess inventory
[TS]
01:46:50
◼
►
that was a little low priced has been
[TS]
01:46:52
◼
►
snapped up now that very well could be
[TS]
01:46:53
◼
►
because Apple has also bought a bunch of
[TS]
01:46:55
◼
►
hotel rooms for attendees which they've
[TS]
01:46:57
◼
►
done in years past that is very very
[TS]
01:46:59
◼
►
likely Apple almost certainly has
[TS]
01:47:02
◼
►
blocked out discounted rooms for
[TS]
01:47:03
◼
►
attendees so that basically if you plan
[TS]
01:47:06
◼
►
to get to try to get a ticket
[TS]
01:47:07
◼
►
don't book a non-refundable hotel room
[TS]
01:47:09
◼
►
yet right exactly
[TS]
01:47:11
◼
►
yeah the strategy been doing this
[TS]
01:47:12
◼
►
strategy in San Francisco for a few
[TS]
01:47:13
◼
►
years you always soon as you find out
[TS]
01:47:15
◼
►
the dates you look refundable ticket and
[TS]
01:47:17
◼
►
then what i would do is wait to see that
[TS]
01:47:19
◼
►
if I do get a ticket which I have in
[TS]
01:47:21
◼
►
years past
[TS]
01:47:22
◼
►
look at the rates that apple offers for
[TS]
01:47:24
◼
►
like hey we reserve blocker review some
[TS]
01:47:26
◼
►
years the Apple reserved room rate is
[TS]
01:47:28
◼
►
cheaper than the 1i provisionally booked
[TS]
01:47:31
◼
►
sometimes it's actually more expensive
[TS]
01:47:32
◼
►
so it really depends on how quick people
[TS]
01:47:35
◼
►
are on the draw on how quickly the
[TS]
01:47:36
◼
►
hotel's figure out what's going on but
[TS]
01:47:38
◼
►
in this case but by the time you're
[TS]
01:47:40
◼
►
listening to this if you haven't already
[TS]
01:47:41
◼
►
booked something probably apples reserve
[TS]
01:47:45
◼
►
block of room rate is going to be better
[TS]
01:47:46
◼
►
than anything you get right now and
[TS]
01:47:48
◼
►
there are it seems like there are more
[TS]
01:47:50
◼
►
hotels at formerly reasonable prices
[TS]
01:47:53
◼
►
closer to whatever the convention center
[TS]
01:47:56
◼
►
is in San Jose because moscone has some
[TS]
01:47:58
◼
►
super expensive hotels fairly close to
[TS]
01:48:01
◼
►
it and some cheaper ones like 15 minute
[TS]
01:48:04
◼
►
walk away and then it goes down from
[TS]
01:48:05
◼
►
there as soon as a one right around
[TS]
01:48:07
◼
►
within like the same block as a couple
[TS]
01:48:08
◼
►
of big hotels which don't seem as nice
[TS]
01:48:10
◼
►
and we're going for you know a hundred
[TS]
01:48:13
◼
►
and something at night if you were
[TS]
01:48:15
◼
►
really quick on the draw of course now
[TS]
01:48:16
◼
►
they're all 2 for 500 but you know what
[TS]
01:48:18
◼
►
your mind is like my got mine for like
[TS]
01:48:20
◼
►
189 or something I mean I haven't paid a
[TS]
01:48:22
◼
►
rate that low in san francisco in a few
[TS]
01:48:25
◼
►
yeah many times in anything with the one
[TS]
01:48:27
◼
►
in front of it in
[TS]
01:48:27
◼
►
years yeah exactly true that goodness so
[TS]
01:48:32
◼
►
CSO either on the one side so I i guess
[TS]
01:48:37
◼
►
at first that seems like an improvement
[TS]
01:48:39
◼
►
because it seems like it's more
[TS]
01:48:41
◼
►
accessible financially until you have to
[TS]
01:48:43
◼
►
fly there because there seemed to be
[TS]
01:48:45
◼
►
considerably fewer options to get into
[TS]
01:48:48
◼
►
san jose then there are san francisco
[TS]
01:48:49
◼
►
which makes sense San Francisco so much
[TS]
01:48:51
◼
►
bigger Airport from everything I've
[TS]
01:48:52
◼
►
gathered i'm more than a little bitter
[TS]
01:48:55
◼
►
that no matter where i fly out of I'm
[TS]
01:48:57
◼
►
going to have to change planes in the
[TS]
01:48:59
◼
►
past I've driven two hours north bound
[TS]
01:49:01
◼
►
to dulles everyone's favorite airport
[TS]
01:49:04
◼
►
and got a direct flight on virgin
[TS]
01:49:05
◼
►
america which is non sarcastically my
[TS]
01:49:08
◼
►
favorite airline in the states and i
[TS]
01:49:10
◼
►
typically underscore and I have flown on
[TS]
01:49:13
◼
►
the same flights out and back in and
[TS]
01:49:16
◼
►
it's been wonderful and now i'm going to
[TS]
01:49:19
◼
►
have to change planes like an animal
[TS]
01:49:20
◼
►
which I'm perfectly capable of doing but
[TS]
01:49:23
◼
►
I don't care for doing and then that's a
[TS]
01:49:26
◼
►
alternatively we could fly to san
[TS]
01:49:29
◼
►
francisco and take like an hour-long
[TS]
01:49:30
◼
►
drive or caltrain or something along
[TS]
01:49:32
◼
►
those lines which is a bummer so getting
[TS]
01:49:35
◼
►
there is a little bit tougher and
[TS]
01:49:38
◼
►
probably more expensive which stinks but
[TS]
01:49:42
◼
►
in the grand scheme of things I think
[TS]
01:49:45
◼
►
this has a lot of potential upside get
[TS]
01:49:49
◼
►
it does make a lot of things different
[TS]
01:49:51
◼
►
and at first glance potentially worse
[TS]
01:49:53
◼
►
but I think it could make a lot of
[TS]
01:49:55
◼
►
things better and also announced today
[TS]
01:49:57
◼
►
we're not going to talk about talk about
[TS]
01:49:59
◼
►
very much the apple campus to has been
[TS]
01:50:02
◼
►
officially named a park and it will
[TS]
01:50:05
◼
►
start to receive employees that are that
[TS]
01:50:09
◼
►
will be moving in in April and WT season
[TS]
01:50:13
◼
►
june so it is certainly possible that
[TS]
01:50:17
◼
►
there will be one or more wdc events at
[TS]
01:50:21
◼
►
Apple park which would be kinda neat i
[TS]
01:50:24
◼
►
guess we'll see what happens
[TS]
01:50:27
◼
►
there's been a lot of like theorizing
[TS]
01:50:29
◼
►
and in scheming about where things like
[TS]
01:50:32
◼
►
the beer bash will happen and where will
[TS]
01:50:34
◼
►
the keynote happen and and we know the
[TS]
01:50:37
◼
►
name of the conference center event so
[TS]
01:50:40
◼
►
or whatever it is that that WBC is
[TS]
01:50:41
◼
►
happening already forgotten what it is
[TS]
01:50:43
◼
►
it doesn't really matter but there's a
[TS]
01:50:46
◼
►
lot of questions about this and
[TS]
01:50:48
◼
►
additionally somewhere on the website or
[TS]
01:50:50
◼
►
maybe was in the announcement they they
[TS]
01:50:51
◼
►
made passing reference to how Apple's
[TS]
01:50:54
◼
►
working with San Jose to kind of have
[TS]
01:50:57
◼
►
stuff to do after hours
[TS]
01:50:59
◼
►
what does that mean does that mean that
[TS]
01:51:01
◼
►
they work with what people like layers
[TS]
01:51:04
◼
►
and all content to get something going
[TS]
01:51:06
◼
►
on but that's not really after hours
[TS]
01:51:07
◼
►
that's during the show so is it is it
[TS]
01:51:09
◼
►
that they're working with the relay
[TS]
01:51:11
◼
►
folks to get something going probably
[TS]
01:51:12
◼
►
not but you never know you know there's
[TS]
01:51:14
◼
►
a million questions here very few
[TS]
01:51:16
◼
►
answers however at least we know when it
[TS]
01:51:19
◼
►
is in the least we know where it is and
[TS]
01:51:20
◼
►
we know that before what feels like 10
[TS]
01:51:23
◼
►
seconds in advance which is good so I'm
[TS]
01:51:26
◼
►
tentatively optimistic but we'll see how
[TS]
01:51:27
◼
►
we'll see how it works out I'm gonna
[TS]
01:51:30
◼
►
miss the convention center like I don't
[TS]
01:51:31
◼
►
even know what I want is like but as the
[TS]
01:51:33
◼
►
Mosconi was cool looking right yeah I
[TS]
01:51:35
◼
►
like that I like that space
[TS]
01:51:37
◼
►
I mean obviously the Rings themselves or
[TS]
01:51:39
◼
►
like you know boring partitions they
[TS]
01:51:40
◼
►
move around and stuff but i think apple
[TS]
01:51:42
◼
►
always did a good job of making it feel
[TS]
01:51:43
◼
►
so the familiarity will be will be over
[TS]
01:51:46
◼
►
weird the potential upside of San Jose
[TS]
01:51:49
◼
►
is that nerds will be able to more
[TS]
01:51:50
◼
►
thoroughly dominated the place because
[TS]
01:51:52
◼
►
in San Francisco yeah there's a lot of
[TS]
01:51:54
◼
►
nerds and when you're around Moscow
[TS]
01:51:55
◼
►
Niecy a lot of little black WTC jackets
[TS]
01:51:58
◼
►
but service was a big busy city full of
[TS]
01:51:59
◼
►
people going about their business and as
[TS]
01:52:01
◼
►
you move outward nerds don't dominate
[TS]
01:52:04
◼
►
the city like that you know people who
[TS]
01:52:05
◼
►
live in the city and work there are many
[TS]
01:52:07
◼
►
other nerds that people going to work at
[TS]
01:52:08
◼
►
Twitter and stuff right but it's a
[TS]
01:52:09
◼
►
different set of nerds in San Jose
[TS]
01:52:12
◼
►
because the population is lower and you
[TS]
01:52:16
◼
►
know it's just a less of a big city than
[TS]
01:52:19
◼
►
san francisco i would imagine that we
[TS]
01:52:21
◼
►
will dominate more i'm worried a little
[TS]
01:52:25
◼
►
bit about facilities as people point out
[TS]
01:52:28
◼
►
not so much interested in bars but even
[TS]
01:52:29
◼
►
just a simple like a where do you want
[TS]
01:52:31
◼
►
to go for dinner tonight if there's any
[TS]
01:52:32
◼
►
remotely good restaurants they may be
[TS]
01:52:34
◼
►
overwhelmed by the additional volume of
[TS]
01:52:36
◼
►
people but then again it is a convention
[TS]
01:52:37
◼
►
center so maybe they used to it i don't
[TS]
01:52:38
◼
►
know it's hard it's hard to gauge that
[TS]
01:52:40
◼
►
but again
[TS]
01:52:41
◼
►
san Francisco has a much larger capacity
[TS]
01:52:43
◼
►
to absorb people's activities just
[TS]
01:52:46
◼
►
because they're used to hear it's a big
[TS]
01:52:48
◼
►
city there's many more options more
[TS]
01:52:49
◼
►
places to go places that are more used
[TS]
01:52:51
◼
►
to large volumes of people
[TS]
01:52:52
◼
►
on an ongoing basis whereas this surge
[TS]
01:52:55
◼
►
for dvc could be a large as far as San
[TS]
01:52:59
◼
►
Jose since earn or could not be because
[TS]
01:53:01
◼
►
I think maybe their convention center
[TS]
01:53:03
◼
►
regularly houses conventions that are
[TS]
01:53:05
◼
►
seven times size of WTC in which case
[TS]
01:53:07
◼
►
you don't have a big deal and also maybe
[TS]
01:53:10
◼
►
people who previously went to San
[TS]
01:53:12
◼
►
Francisco for WC without a ticket to
[TS]
01:53:15
◼
►
just you know enjoy the company will
[TS]
01:53:17
◼
►
think twice of it either because there's
[TS]
01:53:19
◼
►
not a direct flight or because they
[TS]
01:53:20
◼
►
think they won't be stuff to do you know
[TS]
01:53:23
◼
►
me as much stuff to do or whatever I
[TS]
01:53:26
◼
►
think the idea of people going into san
[TS]
01:53:27
◼
►
francisco from San Jose is crazy because
[TS]
01:53:29
◼
►
that's a ridiculous trip and it's long
[TS]
01:53:31
◼
►
distance even without traffic you don't
[TS]
01:53:33
◼
►
want to make that trip back when you're
[TS]
01:53:35
◼
►
you know me lens at 2am or whatever so I
[TS]
01:53:39
◼
►
mean all certainly I would never do that
[TS]
01:53:40
◼
►
but i think most people wouldn't do that
[TS]
01:53:41
◼
►
you can you imagine getting back in like
[TS]
01:53:44
◼
►
an uber to go ride for an hour at two in
[TS]
01:53:47
◼
►
the morning to go back to the parc 55 no
[TS]
01:53:50
◼
►
hard pass no thank you
[TS]
01:53:55
◼
►
yeah and maybe the weather will be nicer
[TS]
01:53:57
◼
►
might be freezing cold
[TS]
01:53:59
◼
►
my understanding is that factors that it
[TS]
01:54:01
◼
►
will be considerably warmer it seems the
[TS]
01:54:03

[TS]
01:54:12
◼

a traveling i'm going to take a direct
[TS]
01:54:14
◼

flight to SFO I'm i can't remember I
[TS]
01:54:17
◼

can't do the change like 16 hour flight
[TS]
01:54:19
◼

I can't do 24 hour flights with an hour
[TS]
01:54:21
◼

in between or whatever the hell would be
[TS]
01:54:22
◼
►
if I went through Texas or whatever my
[TS]
01:54:24
◼
►
options are
[TS]
01:54:24
◼

I'm curious how you get down to there
[TS]
01:54:26
◼
►
from there and how does that work
[TS]
01:54:28
◼
►
I'll get someone to drive me totally
[TS]
01:54:30
◼
►
fine you have debated doing the same
[TS]
01:54:33
◼
►
thing but especially inbound wear that
[TS]
01:54:36
◼
►
the schedules a little less intense but
[TS]
01:54:39
◼
►
I and Ivan book plane travel yet there
[TS]
01:54:41
◼
►
but I i think what I'll likely do is
[TS]
01:54:46
◼
►
just fly into san jose and in deal with
[TS]
01:54:49
◼
►
the fact that i have to put on my big
[TS]
01:54:51
◼
►
boy pants and change planes at some
[TS]
01:54:52
◼
►
point we'll say our hearing from you
[TS]
01:54:55
◼
►
because your connection got cancelled or
[TS]
01:54:57
◼
►
a mist how excited you are to miss
[TS]
01:54:59
◼
►
registration no true it i agree that
[TS]
01:55:02
◼
►
that's why I like sure i am being a
[TS]
01:55:04
◼
►
little bit of a baby singing
[TS]
01:55:06
◼
►
energy plants but truly like that's why
[TS]
01:55:08
◼
►
i drive two hours because driving two
[TS]
01:55:11
◼
►
hours to a larger airport is something i
[TS]
01:55:13
◼
►
can control when i get stranded in
[TS]
01:55:15
◼
►
dallas or or Charlotte or Chicago or
[TS]
01:55:19
◼
►
something like that
[TS]
01:55:20
◼
►
I'm screwed like there's nothing I can
[TS]
01:55:21
◼
►
do about that at that point so I'm with
[TS]
01:55:23
◼
►
you John I completely understand
[TS]
01:55:25
◼
►
yeah that's one of the many reasons to
[TS]
01:55:26
◼
►
to try to go direct and then for for me
[TS]
01:55:29
◼
►
personally as a potential that I won't
[TS]
01:55:31
◼
►
be able to go at all because my wife
[TS]
01:55:33
◼
►
might have work travel during that time
[TS]
01:55:34
◼
►
and then I wouldn't have anybody who the
[TS]
01:55:36
◼
►
kids so potentially I'm not going at all
[TS]
01:55:38
◼
►
and of course always the option of me
[TS]
01:55:40
◼
►
not going to take enough don't get one
[TS]
01:55:41
◼
►
as always I will have to reconsider
[TS]
01:55:44
◼
►
because i'm not really going there for
[TS]
01:55:47
◼
►
super duper nightlife and drinking i'm
[TS]
01:55:49
◼
►
going to sit in boring recessions and
[TS]
01:55:51
◼
►
learn things and it's not your life of
[TS]
01:55:53
◼
►
the party people yeah right i'm sure i
[TS]
01:55:54
◼
►
shall be terribly missed you will like
[TS]
01:55:57
◼
►
you would be certainly by the two of
[TS]
01:55:59
◼
►
them are gonna be so excited to be able
[TS]
01:56:01
◼
►
to figure out a new recording rig where
[TS]
01:56:02
◼
►
he's got two people live one person
[TS]
01:56:03
◼
►
remote oh god at make me do that that
[TS]
01:56:06
◼
►
would be awful
[TS]
01:56:07
◼
►
yeah anyway I went during the lottery uh
[TS]
01:56:10
◼
►
anyway and hopefully i'll be able to
[TS]
01:56:13
◼
►
wear either work out something with
[TS]
01:56:14
◼
►
childcare or my wife's work travel will
[TS]
01:56:16
◼
►
change because it's not set in stone at
[TS]
01:56:18
◼
►
this point is and i totally i love the
[TS]
01:56:20
◼
►
fact we can start eventually found out
[TS]
01:56:22
◼
►
so much earlier like even before it like
[TS]
01:56:24
◼
►
we can't even put are you know name into
[TS]
01:56:28
◼
►
the Hat for the lottery until the end of
[TS]
01:56:30
◼
►
march so they gave us so much notice
[TS]
01:56:32
◼
►
which is great
[TS]
01:56:33
◼
►
it's like so so much more relaxing
[TS]
01:56:35
◼
►
although the mad rush is still there
[TS]
01:56:37
◼
►
because as soon as everyone but I felt
[TS]
01:56:39
◼
►
like I found out like an hour after
[TS]
01:56:41
◼
►
everybody else did despite the fact that
[TS]
01:56:42
◼
►
through many venues if i just opened my
[TS]
01:56:44
◼
►
eyes I would have known much sooner and
[TS]
01:56:46
◼
►
then I'm scrambling to try to get a
[TS]
01:56:48
◼
►
number with a one in front of it as my
[TS]
01:56:50
◼
►
hotel room rate which i think it barely
[TS]
01:56:52
◼
►
did but I mean all in all i'm i'm
[TS]
01:56:55
◼
►
tentatively excited like I said I i
[TS]
01:56:56
◼
►
think i think this could be a bunch of
[TS]
01:57:00
◼
►
awesome changes now certainly could be
[TS]
01:57:02
◼
►
garbage and it could work out really
[TS]
01:57:04
◼
►
poorly and they'll be nowhere to go
[TS]
01:57:05
◼
►
after hours nothing to do but i'm
[TS]
01:57:08
◼
►
excited i think i think it could be a
[TS]
01:57:10
◼
►
lot of fun and I'm really looking
[TS]
01:57:11
◼
►
forward to seeing how it all turns out
[TS]
01:57:13
◼
►
so I'm we came just a little more the
[TS]
01:57:15
◼
►
venue stuff that we all agree that there
[TS]
01:57:17
◼
►
isn't the
[TS]
01:57:18
◼
►
you know will not be in the Steve Jobs
[TS]
01:57:20
◼
►
theater on a park it's just not enough
[TS]
01:57:23
◼
►
yeah not even close yeah I always wonder
[TS]
01:57:25
◼
►
wonder about the theater why they made
[TS]
01:57:27
◼
►
it i mean i guess for press events
[TS]
01:57:28
◼
►
thousands probably plenty but apples
[TS]
01:57:30
◼
►
handle a lot of press events and bigger
[TS]
01:57:32
◼
►
venues like even the watch event will
[TS]
01:57:33
◼
►
help like 5000 or something so kind of
[TS]
01:57:36
◼
►
wonder why they made it so small
[TS]
01:57:38
◼
►
well I mean I'm sure the rationale was
[TS]
01:57:39
◼
►
basically like you know we can we can
[TS]
01:57:42
◼
►
have some events on campus which we do
[TS]
01:57:44
◼
►
and we get the smaller events that are
[TS]
01:57:46
◼
►
like 5,000 people in the room they just
[TS]
01:57:47
◼
►
having a campus and the rationale was
[TS]
01:57:49
◼
►
probably like to make it meaningfully
[TS]
01:57:52
◼
►
bigger it's like do we want to put a
[TS]
01:57:54
◼
►
5000 person theater and our campus and
[TS]
01:57:56
◼
►
that's a lot of people shove into one
[TS]
01:57:58
◼
►
room it's a really big room it's like
[TS]
01:57:59
◼
►
it's that's probably a massive
[TS]
01:58:02
◼
►
undertaking for relatively little
[TS]
01:58:04
◼
►
benefit like they can just go book a
[TS]
01:58:06
◼
►
place in san francisco for that a tour
[TS]
01:58:08
◼
►
books and was a conference center for
[TS]
01:58:09
◼
►
the Hat and it's probably fine like so I
[TS]
01:58:11
◼
►
hope that all Steve Jobs theater is just
[TS]
01:58:13
◼
►
a facade for the 800 levels of
[TS]
01:58:15
◼
►
sub-basement where they do the car
[TS]
01:58:16
◼
►
development right that's like that the
[TS]
01:58:19
◼
►
underground just in the underground test
[TS]
01:58:20
◼
►
track facility that's a complete a
[TS]
01:58:22
◼
►
recreation of nürburgring yeah that's
[TS]
01:58:26
◼
►
it with artificial sunlight over the
[TS]
01:58:27
◼
►
whole thing
[TS]
01:58:28
◼
►
mmm III would not assume that there's
[TS]
01:58:31
◼
►
going to be any involvement between
[TS]
01:58:33
◼
►
apple's new campus and this in WC like I
[TS]
01:58:36
◼
►
don't think it's gonna be anything there
[TS]
01:58:37
◼
►
they don't really need to and it would
[TS]
01:58:39
◼
►
be a pretty big ordeal like to like
[TS]
01:58:41
◼
►
5,000 people is a lot like to do
[TS]
01:58:44
◼
►
anything with 5,000 people like that
[TS]
01:58:47
◼
►
that is a large logistical challenge and
[TS]
01:58:50
◼
►
when the people can just walk two
[TS]
01:58:51
◼
►
different buildings that are all within
[TS]
01:58:52
◼
►
the same data an area that's way easier
[TS]
01:58:54
◼
►
you know we'll see what happens well
[TS]
01:58:56
◼
►
good luck you two getting tickets
[TS]
01:58:57
◼
►
that's right for ticket or not no I i
[TS]
01:59:01
◼
►
decided last year I you know I'm always
[TS]
01:59:03
◼
►
so like double and triple booked for
[TS]
01:59:05
◼
►
things i want to do during that week
[TS]
01:59:07
◼
►
during every time of every day
[TS]
01:59:09
◼
►
hello Brock that I that like there's
[TS]
01:59:11
◼
►
just ate a ticket on me at this point i
[TS]
01:59:15
◼
►
would feel better with somebody else
[TS]
01:59:17
◼
►
getting it like I I feel like it's
[TS]
01:59:19
◼
►
wasted on me now because there's so much
[TS]
01:59:21
◼
►
else I want to do during those daytime
[TS]
01:59:23
◼
►
slots and last year I didn't go that
[TS]
01:59:25
◼
►
many sessions and I felt really bad
[TS]
01:59:27
◼
►
about that
[TS]
01:59:28
◼
►
so this year I'm just gonna let you know
[TS]
01:59:29
◼
►
I'm just gonna let someone else get my
[TS]
01:59:31
◼
►
this time because i think i don't i
[TS]
01:59:33
◼
►
don't need it anymore now that I'm
[TS]
01:59:35
◼
►
giving you a hard time but I actually
[TS]
01:59:36
◼
►
felt very similarly now I did have
[TS]
01:59:39
◼
►
layers that I went to almost the
[TS]
01:59:42
◼
►
entirety of last year and quick aside if
[TS]
01:59:45
◼
►
you for some reason want to be in that
[TS]
01:59:47
◼
►
area and and you don't get a ticket or
[TS]
01:59:50
◼
►
perhaps you want something a little less
[TS]
01:59:52
◼
►
developer centric layers is a great
[TS]
01:59:55
◼
►
conference and and i think i could've
[TS]
01:59:58
◼
►
sworn i saw that they were at least
[TS]
01:59:58
◼
►
sworn i saw that they were at least
[TS]
02:00:00
◼
►
contemplating going to San Jose but i
[TS]
02:00:02
◼
►
might be lying about that double check
[TS]
02:00:04
◼
►
me but but yeah if players is the thing
[TS]
02:00:07
◼
►
again be in san francisco or san jose it
[TS]
02:00:09
◼
►
is definitely worth checking out
[TS]
02:00:11
◼
►
but anyways last year you know I had a
[TS]
02:00:13
◼
►
lot more availability because I didn't
[TS]
02:00:16
◼
►
have a conference ticket to WGCI had 12
[TS]
02:00:18
◼
►
layers and i still felt a bit
[TS]
02:00:21
◼
►
overwhelmed and triple booked and I'm
[TS]
02:00:22
◼
►
giving you a hard time about humble
[TS]
02:00:23
◼
►
bragging about how busy you were but
[TS]
02:00:25
◼
►
truth be told I i totally understand and
[TS]
02:00:27
◼
►
I i am in the exact same boat i will be
[TS]
02:00:29
◼
►
trying for ticket for sure because i
[TS]
02:00:32
◼
►
think i still have a lot to get from it
[TS]
02:00:34
◼
►
I in a way that I don't know that you
[TS]
02:00:37
◼
►
necessarily do marco i agree with what
[TS]
02:00:39
◼
►
you just said but we'll see what happens
[TS]
02:00:42
◼
►
John obviously we'll be putting in his
[TS]
02:00:43
◼
►
hat in the ring and we'll see how it
[TS]
02:00:45
◼
►
goes but what I'm looking forward to it
[TS]
02:00:47
◼
►
one way the other forgot about layers
[TS]
02:00:49
◼
►
and that's an option like i would that
[TS]
02:00:51
◼
►
would be an excuse for me to go it's
[TS]
02:00:52
◼
►
like well I didn't get a ticket but oh
[TS]
02:00:53
◼
►
well i'll buy tickets layers instead
[TS]
02:00:56
◼
►
yeah you know I feel guilty because I
[TS]
02:00:59
◼
►
feel the same way but truth be told
[TS]
02:01:01
◼
►
layers really is a great conference like
[TS]
02:01:03
◼
►
I it shouldn't I shouldn't be
[TS]
02:01:05
◼
►
positioning it as an also-ran because it
[TS]
02:01:07
◼
►
really is really really good now full
[TS]
02:01:10
◼
►

►

[TS]
02:01:15
◼
►

[TS]
02:01:17
◼
►
inclined to like her anyway but truth
[TS]
02:01:19
◼
►
the truth matter she's awesome and it
[TS]
02:01:22
◼
►
went in the direction she does our ad
[TS]
02:01:23
◼
►
sales because we liked her so much
[TS]
02:01:25
◼
►
that's better actually yeah and in
[TS]
02:01:28
◼
►

[TS]
02:01:30
◼
►
good conference in a very diverse
[TS]
02:01:31
◼
►
conference in a way that wdc is not
[TS]
02:01:34
◼
►
which is super refreshing and really
[TS]
02:01:38
◼
►
really awesome
[TS]
02:01:39
◼
►
yes actually that's what that's what
[TS]
02:01:40
◼
►
that is one of the biggest things that I
[TS]
02:01:43
◼
►
had that I want to do instead of going
[TS]
02:01:45
◼
►
to be so this year like I really want I
[TS]
02:01:47
◼
►
hope layers happens if it does happen
[TS]
02:01:50
◼
►
i'm there no question
[TS]
02:01:51
◼
►

[TS]
02:01:57
◼
►

[TS]
02:02:02
◼
►
another and I i really really hope that
[TS]
02:02:05
◼
►
that all three of us make it out there

[TS]
02:06:14
◼
►
these are very well done ports actually
[TS]
02:06:17
◼

like nice wide screen versions of these

old sonic games and they actually break

couple of David hit they had to make a
[TS]
02:06:29
◼

couple of tweaks to the games to make it
[TS]
02:06:31
◼
►
not break like in Sonic 1 the boss of
[TS]
02:06:34
◼
►
spring yard zone kind of depends on the
[TS]
02:06:37
◼
►
field of the game being a certain width
[TS]
02:06:39
◼
►
and so in the in this remaster that's
[TS]
02:06:43
◼
►
widescreen they just put up these two
[TS]
02:06:44
◼
►
big walls on like unlike two sides to

02:08:35
◼
►
something i haven't been keeping up of

it but okay well anyway i'm hoping the
[TS]
02:08:39
◼
►
Virtual Console becomes like you know
[TS]
02:08:41
◼
►
what it is what I had before like a
[TS]
02:08:43
◼
►
pretty good pretty good thing pretty
[TS]
02:08:45
◼
►
good resource because i would love to to
[TS]
02:08:48
◼
►
play like some of basically someone like
[TS]
02:08:50
◼
►
the mario and Mario Kart games that i
[TS]
02:08:52
◼
►
have missed in the last 20 years to get

02:09:02
◼
►
to order that it is with some amazon
[TS]
02:09:03
◼
►
cart to pre-order that but but yes

[TS]
02:09:08
◼
►
anything else i would like it seems like
[TS]
02:09:11
◼
►
mario games themselves are kind of
[TS]
02:09:14
◼
►
absent for a while until the big one
[TS]
02:09:15
◼
►
comes out like a year or something right
[TS]
02:09:17
◼
►
with that their spacing it out i think
[TS]
02:09:19
◼
►
about like by the end of this year i
[TS]
02:09:20
◼
►
think a lot of the games are basically
[TS]
02:09:21
◼
►
done and just spacing out to give like
[TS]
02:09:23
◼
►
every two months there will be major new
[TS]
02:09:25
◼
►
yeah my so far my my launch list of

things I want a launcher basically like
[TS]
02:09:29
◼
►
Bomberman poyo Tetris and Mario Kart

02:09:34
◼
►

[TS]
02:09:39
◼
►
else to get him not really having Selda

02:09:46
◼
►

02:09:50
◼
►
