The Accidental Tech Podcast

00:00:00 ◼   ► I took the bold step the very first time ever done it and marked that review is [TS]

00:00:05 ◼   ► not helpful I totally mark them as not helpful to have better not helpful I [TS]

00:00:12 ◼   ► wanna talk about TV from a nap Breaking Bad and this is going to have a point I [TS]

00:00:19 ◼   ► was watching agents of shield earlier tonight with Aaron sorry well it's ok [TS]

00:00:25 ◼   ► it's it's got promise but it's not very good at the moment well the reason I [TS]

00:00:31 ◼   ► bring this up is because there was a portion of the episode and this is not [TS]

00:00:37 ◼   ► particularly important if you haven't seen it yet but somebody was going [TS]

00:00:40 ◼   ► behind enemy lines if you will and they had like you know an invisible world [TS]

00:00:45 ◼   ► almost invisible secret agent earpiece thing and this person was trying to [TS]

00:00:50 ◼   ► schmooze people they didn't know at a party and so what they did was they had [TS]

00:00:55 ◼   ► the other agents like up in the magical plane thing telling the person on the [TS]

00:01:01 ◼   ► field in the field [TS]

00:01:02 ◼   ► oh well this is someone so he has twin kids and ask him about this now the [TS]

00:01:07 ◼   ► other thing so this person can schmooze not look like an outsider well they [TS]

00:01:11 ◼   ► walked away from one of the from this conversation where they had to schmooze [TS]

00:01:14 ◼   ► and with people that know me and they said something to the effect oh wow it's [TS]

00:01:19 ◼   ► really awesome having you guys here and really get used to this and then they [TS]

00:01:22 ◼   ► said and i'm quoting its like Siri if it works and so this is a national TV show [TS]

00:01:30 ◼   ► and granted america's not the be all end all but I mean this is Apple taking [TS]

00:01:34 ◼   ► potshots on national television which I thought was a little bit surprising well [TS]

00:01:40 ◼   ► to be fair Syria has never been that reliable no I mean it's it's not [TS]

00:01:43 ◼   ► unreasonable I just thought it was surprising that it would that it's [TS]

00:01:46 ◼   ► become part of the killers right word but it's become something that everyone [TS]

00:01:51 ◼   ► recognizes as an issue that's the anti trap anything you do that to a lay [TS]

00:01:56 ◼   ► person seems like it should be like another person talking to you until we [TS]

00:02:00 ◼   ► get actual real you know whatever the term is strong AI is not going to be [TS]

00:02:04 ◼   ► like that and [TS]

00:02:05 ◼   ► and there's gonna be an expectation gap I talked to a thing I want to respond to [TS]

00:02:09 ◼   ► me like a person it's not going to we all know it's not going to but doesn't [TS]

00:02:13 ◼   ► matter because once I start talking to like a person to dam up their work like [TS]

00:02:16 ◼   ► a person and that combined with its reliability of like sometimes it just [TS]

00:02:20 ◼   ► says sorry I couldn't do it could reach servers not available in order but even [TS]

00:02:24 ◼   ► a response to you you know it's fun to play with and then you quickly realize [TS]

00:02:28 ◼   ► it's not like talking to a person and you disappointed and that's never going [TS]

00:02:30 ◼   ► to go away like Google now series things are getting better and better and you [TS]

00:02:36 ◼   ► know just be leaps and bounds over where they are today and people will still be [TS]

00:02:39 ◼   ► like it'll still be jokes about them on late night TV because there are they so [TS]

00:02:44 ◼   ► stupid you know my dog smarter than syria like it doesn't understand he [TS]

00:02:47 ◼   ► doesn't understand and it wont doesn't understand it won't understand for you [TS]

00:02:51 ◼   ► know years decades our lifetime who knows how long it will take to get [TS]

00:02:55 ◼   ► actual intelligence on the level of human being and the other end of a [TS]

00:02:58 ◼   ► computer thing and up until that point it's going to be the butt of jokes it's [TS]

00:03:04 ◼   ► hard to tell it on the agent of shield episode they were making fun of the [TS]

00:03:07 ◼   ► reliability or the intelligence or bowl right right [TS]

00:03:11 ◼   ► figures like the reliability that you know that Apple graceland I now we can [TS]

00:03:16 ◼   ► make this stupid thing reliable the very least and then you're just complaining [TS]

00:03:19 ◼   ► about all the responses aren't very smart but when it says sorry it's not [TS]

00:03:23 ◼   ► available right now series now read that it says when when you know the service [TS]

00:03:27 ◼   ► center response that is something that Apple should be ashamed I now but [TS]

00:03:30 ◼   ► everything else if you're doing anything that you talk to the talks back you just [TS]

00:03:34 ◼   ► gonna have to take your lumps but you know as far as as far as popular culture [TS]

00:03:39 ◼   ► is concerned as far as regular people are concerned he'll even as far as [TS]

00:03:43 ◼   ► you're concerned it doesn't really matter whether the server failure [TS]

00:03:47 ◼   ► happens or whether it does the wrong thing or or thinks the wrong thing about [TS]

00:03:52 ◼   ► what you said either way it's a failure and and all it takes is a few failures [TS]

00:03:56 ◼   ► where you know after that you just forget about using you stop using it [TS]

00:04:01 ◼   ► right in so it seems weird to me [TS]

00:04:05 ◼   ► words are weird is the right word but I can't help but wonder this got me [TS]

00:04:09 ◼   ► thinking that I can't help but wonder at what point is Apple gonna say enough is [TS]

00:04:13 ◼   ► enough and not properly fix this and I know that that [TS]

00:04:15 ◼   ► we've talked about this a lot with light cloud and core data for example and [TS]

00:04:21 ◼   ► we've talked a lot a lot about this with series as well but at some point you [TS]

00:04:26 ◼   ► have to think that they're gonna get together and say got guys and girls we [TS]

00:04:29 ◼   ► really really really have to fix this like it's that time ever coming is Mr [TS]

00:04:33 ◼   ► waiting for train that's just not going to show up it was kind of a victory for [TS]

00:04:37 ◼   ► Apple to be mentioned because the worst thing for Apple would be for them to [TS]

00:04:39 ◼   ► make that same joke about Google now so like syria has the mindshare as that [TS]

00:04:43 ◼   ► thing on your phone that you talk to and there is value in having that mindshare [TS]

00:04:47 ◼   ► even if it comes along with you know all that other baggage and everything just [TS]

00:04:51 ◼   ► because like you know you gonna become the kleenex or whatever of the thing [TS]

00:04:56 ◼   ► whatever is generous sized random but you know that's that's what they went 2 [TS]

00:05:00 ◼   ► for the joke because they figure most people know that they'll know what we're [TS]

00:05:03 ◼   ► talking about they'll get the joke whereas you know Google now or any of [TS]

00:05:07 ◼   ► the other things that you talked to are more reliable yes but again I'm not I [TS]

00:05:11 ◼   ► don't think the joke was about reliability I think it's like if it [TS]

00:05:14 ◼   ► worked as in if you could actually a serious things and she would give you [TS]

00:05:17 ◼   ► answers [TS]

00:05:18 ◼   ► versus just saying I'm sorry I don't know what that is doing a google search [TS]

00:05:22 ◼   ► warrant which is what syria does when you try to talk to me like a person I [TS]

00:05:26 ◼   ► don't know but like I think it's good that the word is in the public [TS]

00:05:30 ◼   ► consciousness and I think Apple continues to work on the reliability and [TS]

00:05:34 ◼   ► you know fail for the same reason they fail to make all their online service [TS]

00:05:37 ◼   ► reliable but is also working on the intelligence part of it is just at this [TS]

00:05:41 ◼   ► point I think it's the cost of doing business you want to be on the phone [TS]

00:05:44 ◼   ► market you get out some sort of thing that you talked to does real-time [TS]

00:05:47 ◼   ► intelligence searches from multiple sources and so it's never going to go [TS]

00:05:50 ◼   ► away they're going to keep trying to make it better and you know about online [TS]

00:05:55 ◼   ► services like I wanted to get a fix on line thing like you know that Mak [TS]

00:05:58 ◼   ► goodnight tools and MobileMe with iCloud the one where they fixed everything [TS]

00:06:03 ◼   ► I really they just keep trying I guess when I mean and it's it's how you have [TS]

00:06:09 ◼   ► to start wondering what is it about Apple that makes them quote not good at [TS]

00:06:15 ◼   ► Webster's like we all say that we all right that we all think that Apple is [TS]

00:06:20 ◼   ► not good but what's different like what's going to be different [TS]

00:06:25 ◼   ► a year from now compared to now in that area like what steps are they taking or [TS]

00:06:30 ◼   ► what steps could they even take to meaningfully change that like what is it [TS]

00:06:35 ◼   ► about the company that makes them not good at web services and I don't really [TS]

00:06:40 ◼   ► see from the outside any evidence that meaningful changes happening there it [TS]

00:06:45 ◼   ► seems like you know as we've discussed before it's it's probably a problem of [TS]

00:06:49 ◼   ► engineering resources and priorities and up until this time Apple has clearly put [TS]

00:06:57 ◼   ► some priority on web services but they are still a very small company with [TS]

00:07:04 ◼   ► their engineering resources and it doesn't really ever seem like that's [TS]

00:07:09 ◼   ► gonna take a massive turn for the better we're suddenly their web services are [TS]

00:07:15 ◼   ► going to have tons more staff on them tones more resources and be at a much [TS]

00:07:19 ◼   ► higher priority the company I don't I don't see that happened [TS]

00:07:22 ◼   ► yeah I don't know either and and it seems we like most not everything is web [TS]

00:07:27 ◼   ► objects right I mean I know the iTunes stories but but we have no reason to [TS]

00:07:30 ◼   ► believe everything else as well I'll text you right and and that I really [TS]

00:07:34 ◼   ► don't think web objects the technology has anything substantial to do with why [TS]

00:07:40 ◼   ► Apple is not quote good at web services and then you can pick on any language or [TS]

00:07:44 ◼   ► platform and say oh well that doesn't scale or that's old or whatever the fact [TS]

00:07:48 ◼   ► is that's not the problem [TS]

00:07:49 ◼   ► you know you could with with proper administration of proper coding you can [TS]

00:07:53 ◼   ► make anything scale you can make anything work the platform is really the [TS]

00:07:58 ◼   ► problem you know the platform is an end by the way there's nothing saying Apple [TS]

00:08:02 ◼   ► has to be using with objects maybe they're not using it for part of the [TS]

00:08:06 ◼   ► stuff using it for just a front end somewhere and using Oracle stuff behind [TS]

00:08:10 ◼   ► who knows but I I would not I would not put blame on [TS]

00:08:15 ◼   ► the fact that they occasionally have web object URLs that we're looking at it [TS]

00:08:19 ◼   ► from the front I don't have a lot to do with it well but the hard thing about [TS]

00:08:23 ◼   ► web job a web objects is that how do you hire for someone that can do web objects [TS]

00:08:27 ◼   ► obviously you can teach any competent programmer just about anything but if [TS]

00:08:32 ◼   ► you want a web objects guru they're like what four of them in the world in there [TS]

00:08:36 ◼   ► are probably on Apple's payroll ready so to get in and of itself web objects may [TS]

00:08:40 ◼   ► not be the problem in the sense of it functions in with like he said good [TS]

00:08:46 ◼   ► coding it'll continue to function but it's hard to hire into that role if you [TS]

00:08:50 ◼   ► wanted to throw people at the problem which may or may not even be the [TS]

00:08:54 ◼   ► solution [TS]

00:08:54 ◼   ► well but really like looking at looking at a major code base for a major web [TS]

00:09:00 ◼   ► service under heavy traffic that's very high profile I mean really doesn't [TS]

00:09:05 ◼   ► matter what language is written in like any new hires gonna have to go through a [TS]

00:09:09 ◼   ► lot of training and a lot of time just becoming familiar with this code base [TS]

00:09:13 ◼   ► and becoming useful in working with it i mean i i dont think even if it was [TS]

00:09:17 ◼   ► written in Java which everyone can either knows or can be taught very [TS]

00:09:20 ◼   ► quickly I don't think that would really make a difference I mean really I think [TS]

00:09:24 ◼   ► if I'm directs really was the big problems they're having either that's a [TS]

00:09:29 ◼   ► giant failure of leadership or that's it it's a giant failure of leadership [TS]

00:09:37 ◼   ► that's it that's like that's the reason if if they're being held back because [TS]

00:09:41 ◼   ► they're using web objects that's a really stupid reason to be held back and [TS]

00:09:45 ◼   ► there is no reason to continue it [TS]

00:09:47 ◼   ► these services are all pretty nu they could if that was really the problem [TS]

00:09:51 ◼   ► they could rewrite them it wouldn't it would be a big undertaking but it [TS]

00:09:54 ◼   ► wouldn't be an insurmountable the fact is I don't think that's really the [TS]

00:09:58 ◼   ► problem and if it is really the problem then I'm still correct it's a problem [TS]

00:10:03 ◼   ► with something about high-level leadership of priorities rather than [TS]

00:10:08 ◼   ► this technology can do this [TS]

00:10:10 ◼   ► objects is actually not now but back in the day was actually a tiny example of [TS]

00:10:16 ◼   ► couples sort of doing the right thing and I've done this rant several times as [TS]

00:10:21 ◼   ► many other shows you two should be able to recite it by now [TS]

00:10:24 ◼   ► like if you're gonna do web services or anything anything online at the scale [TS]

00:10:33 ◼   ► Apple does it you go into a different realm and what market said about you [TS]

00:10:37 ◼   ► know you can make any web service killing pop forum is true but once you [TS]

00:10:40 ◼   ► start getting into Apple scalar Google scale things like that do matter a [TS]

00:10:44 ◼   ► little bit more than they do you like there's a threshold to reach capacity [TS]

00:10:48 ◼   ► like okay now a neoplasm won't do and really the platform actually does matter [TS]

00:10:54 ◼   ► because any tiny inefficiency is multiplied by the millions of service [TS]

00:10:57 ◼   ► that we have or maybe a particular architecture dictated by a particular [TS]

00:11:00 ◼   ► platform doesn't allow us to be in a million different data centers around [TS]

00:11:04 ◼   ► the world in a synchronized manner and all these other things that come into [TS]

00:11:07 ◼   ► play for like seven people in the world for like maybe [TS]

00:11:11 ◼   ► Amazon Microsoft Google anybody who's got a worldwide online presence [TS]

00:11:16 ◼   ► huge service which millions and millions of customers and where the good thing [TS]

00:11:21 ◼   ► that web objects had going for it is that they didn't make themselves but it [TS]

00:11:25 ◼   ► was in the house came with us feel like like technology using now ok from nexrad [TS]

00:11:30 ◼   ► and that's what you have to do it this scale you have to take ownership of your [TS]

00:11:35 ◼   ► online platform you can't just use sort of off the shelf stuff and by experts [TS]

00:11:39 ◼   ► and have them put them up to each other once you pass a certain threshold of [TS]

00:11:43 ◼   ► scale you got to stop yourself and the Sun does microsoft does Google does [TS]

00:11:48 ◼   ► practically everything themselves right down to their own hardware and [TS]

00:11:52 ◼   ► everything and Apple seems to do so so much less of it and Apple is it that [TS]

00:11:57 ◼   ► scale now hundreds of millions of people using iOS devices connecting to a club [TS]

00:12:01 ◼   ► like there there there there at that scale they can't be the only person [TS]

00:12:05 ◼   ► doing stuff off the shelf they need to take ownership of their online platform [TS]

00:12:08 ◼   ► technology and I don't understand the leadership get here too because it's [TS]

00:12:11 ◼   ► clear that leadership gap doesn't exist for the client side stuff because they [TS]

00:12:17 ◼   ► the organization that does all this other stuff so clearly when it comes to [TS]

00:12:25 ◼   ► a top or not but so clearly understand that it needs to take complete ownership [TS]

00:12:30 ◼   ► of its platform we have to be responsible and making sure we have [TS]

00:12:33 ◼   ► good tools good compiler good language and we're going to not just do them once [TS]

00:12:37 ◼   ► and just ok we're done koko's awesome you know project build their we're all [TS]

00:12:41 ◼   ► set we've got our own tools for great they're gonna be no that's not satisfied [TS]

00:12:45 ◼   ► with that we need a better compiler we need to ditch project will you make a [TS]

00:12:49 ◼   ► New Mexico keep making this code better and better we need to switch out our [TS]

00:12:53 ◼   ► debugger friend we need to have the Objective C runtime you know they just [TS]

00:12:58 ◼   ► take such incredible ownership of their platform they know they can't just let [TS]

00:13:01 ◼   ► it sit there and then not relying unlike some other vendor or some other [TS]

00:13:05 ◼   ► platforms solve their problems and just throw it a bunch of people are here you [TS]

00:13:08 ◼   ► go here some pieces you know they totally take control of their clients [TS]

00:13:11 ◼   ► and they need to service that is just as important thing to be doing all those [TS]

00:13:15 ◼   ► same things whereas the team that has been working on this is the technology [TS]

00:13:18 ◼   ► that that we're going to use inside Apple to deploy online services you know [TS]

00:13:23 ◼   ► starting 10 years ago and continually revising it ten years ago the head web [TS]

00:13:27 ◼   ► objects which even then was kind of weird and aidid and they just didn't [TS]

00:13:30 ◼   ► like keep it up today to modernize it and like it like it's free pass that by [TS]

00:13:35 ◼   ► they didn't let that happen on the client side did you know racing ahead [TS]

00:13:38 ◼   ► especially with exceptions a file system but most other aspects [TS]

00:13:43 ◼   ► taking ownership of their of their platform there on the server side [TS]

00:13:45 ◼   ► they're not they're going to third-party vendors and that's an untenable strategy [TS]

00:13:49 ◼   ► they need to be more like Google and Microsoft and Amazon and have their own [TS]

00:13:54 ◼   ► platforms with their own in-house technology dedicate those kind of [TS]

00:13:57 ◼   ► resources to it and I don't understand why one half of the company can do that [TS]

00:14:01 ◼   ► and the other half can't because it seems like the same leadership well yeah [TS]

00:14:05 ◼   ► but what do you say that objects is getting better I mean from the outside [TS]

00:14:09 ◼   ► there's no indication it's getting better but who's to say from that it [TS]

00:14:12 ◼   ► isn't getting better on the inside and they're just not letting anyone see it [TS]

00:14:15 ◼   ► the model of the way it works in the model the web of course the whole idea [TS]

00:14:19 ◼   ► of having you know object transparency just kind of like working like cocoa on [TS]

00:14:24 ◼   ► the web and all these conveniences like that's not what massive online services [TS]

00:14:27 ◼   ► about these days anymore they're about infrastructure pieces to manage storage [TS]

00:14:31 ◼   ► and data in ways that are totally unlike the web objects that in terms of where [TS]

00:14:36 ◼   ► the state is and [TS]

00:14:37 ◼   ► you know how it all fits together just look at how like let's look at Google's [TS]

00:14:42 ◼   ► span are things that they use for the database stuff in there and then all of [TS]

00:14:45 ◼   ► its predecessors like GFS and what was that some of the ceremony was the thing [TS]

00:14:51 ◼   ► that the predicted a big table and like all these infrastructure projects that [TS]

00:14:56 ◼   ► have come and gone and MapReduce and all those things like that Google is [TS]

00:14:59 ◼   ► constantly revising Apple hasn't gone through that the revolution Google [TS]

00:15:02 ◼   ► started out its first things and just GFS and MapReduce were already ahead of [TS]

00:15:06 ◼   ► where Apple as the web objects in terms of doing things that scale and ghouls [TS]

00:15:12 ◼   ► constantly throwing away it's all 10 replacing with doing it over and over [TS]

00:15:15 ◼   ► and over again for its service and same thing with Amazon and all the stuff that [TS]

00:15:19 ◼   ► is using to run its services [TS]

00:15:20 ◼   ► Apple started with one dot dress which was already like sort of the old model [TS]

00:15:25 ◼   ► and look at much working for developers to do you know like google has proven [TS]

00:15:30 ◼   ► that you can make things annoying for developers is certainly using big table [TS]

00:15:35 ◼   ► is super annoying which is one of the reasons spanner exist for developers but [TS]

00:15:38 ◼   ► it was like you know scaling is king and even though it's going to be annoying to [TS]

00:15:42 ◼   ► do the stuff of the application level we scaling is more important and will work [TS]

00:15:45 ◼   ► at the other things later as Apple was like oh we want this to be all nice and [TS]

00:15:49 ◼   ► kind of like working with objects or convenient and everything is magically [TS]

00:15:52 ◼   ► objects and persistent sounds like our data I guess my mind and in that nice [TS]

00:15:57 ◼   ► and that is nice and everything but that you know you're you aren't your hands [TS]

00:16:01 ◼   ► tied behind your back in terms of how do you scales 217 data centers with [TS]

00:16:04 ◼   ► redundant hardware and all these other you know things like will know the day [TS]

00:16:09 ◼   ► has come when Apple has finally started to join the modern age when they don't [TS]

00:16:12 ◼   ► have to bring a story down before they introduce new products like there's [TS]

00:16:17 ◼   ► there's a way to do it like the reason they do that is not so much like a we [TS]

00:16:20 ◼   ► have to take the store downtown new products they don't have to take the [TS]

00:16:23 ◼   ► tour ended in parks they have to take the dart story on this my theory they [TS]

00:16:27 ◼   ► have to take the story down to add new products that appear to customers in [TS]

00:16:31 ◼   ► deterministic Manor right because they can add new products take mister down [TS]

00:16:34 ◼   ► but they have no idea when or where they'll appear for people because of [TS]

00:16:38 ◼   ► their their architecture doesn't allow them to sort of you know have a way to [TS]

00:26:29 ◼   ► doesn't have those elements and it in the same way that Google's never going [TS]

00:26:56 ◼   ► scarecrows cuz it's intentional but it's like it's it's more mysterious whereas [TS]

00:27:00 ◼   ► the things that Google has our tangible and a great example of it is Google was [TS]

00:27:05 ◼   ► a company that made web search and index the entire web which is amazing [TS]

00:27:07 ◼   ► technical field right but they decided they want to have a client-side OS and [TS]

00:27:12 ◼   ► they did that by making a client-side platform that they conclude took [TS]

00:27:56 ◼   ► they had to say it and we need to take ownership of it the same way we take [TS]

00:28:20 ◼   ► gonna make something like that wouldn't work because the structure around them [TS]

00:28:26 ◼   ► is different there like I think the tangible things like a server-side [TS]

00:56:11 ◼   ► very reliably but I also don't think it's a very good idea for one particular [TS]

00:56:22 ◼   ► universal podcast monetization model where every shows gonna do something [TS]

00:56:31 ◼   ► like I've I talked forever ago on building analyzed about flatter and and [TS]

00:57:45 ◼   ► this cause I don't know big too boring but the last episode I i I threw off the [TS]

00:57:50 ◼   ► comment that I was focusing a lot of my design effort on the Now Playing screen [TS]

00:57:54 ◼   ► and at the rest of the app could just be like a book a table using it wouldn't [TS]

00:57:57 ◼   ► matter that much because you know you spend the most time navigating now [TS]

00:58:01 ◼   ► playing screen and whatever whatever exactly I said there we had a lot of [TS]

00:58:05 ◼   ► emails from people saying that's wrong as soon as I start playing a show I turn [TS]

00:58:41 ◼   ► very freaky interaction some of that you can do it the remote but the clicker in [TS]

00:58:44 ◼   ► some cases some of it you cancel your doing directly so that screams to me [TS]

00:58:49 ◼   ► like everything else about the app it matters a lot less how it's designed it [TS]

00:58:56 ◼   ► because of how you desire you're probably going through some kind of list [TS]

00:59:01 ◼   ► or collection of shows that each within it has a list of episodes or email you [TS]

00:59:06 ◼   ► have playlist that have that have a list of episodes of them them whenever the [TS]

00:59:09 ◼   ► cases those are pretty straight forward designs like yeah you can you can tweak [TS]

00:59:13 ◼   ► in here and there you can add to flourish here in there that you know [TS]

00:59:16 ◼   ► there's there's a lot of little decisions you can make differently but [TS]

00:59:19 ◼   ► structurally navigation only the rest of the app is not that hard to design it [TS]

00:59:24 ◼   ► just isn't it's you know if you want to go that route with with your podcast app [TS]

00:59:28 ◼   ► feel free but the fact is it doesn't matter how I present a list of episodes [TS]

00:59:33 ◼   ► in the grand scheme of things I'll try to do as I can but it's not I'm not [TS]

00:59:36 ◼   ► losing sleep over that the Now Playing screen there's more variability although [TS]

00:59:41 ◼   ► you wouldn't know it by looking at the apps out there right now but the ability [TS]

00:59:45 ◼   ► how that can be designed and I think it matters more because maybe you're [TS]

00:59:52 ◼   ► interacting with it for a split second and putting it back in your pocket but [TS]

00:59:55 ◼   ► what if you're jogging or what if you're in a car and you can't really look at it [TS]

00:59:59 ◼   ► safely there a situation like this where it matters how it's designed it matters [TS]

01:00:03 ◼   ► how it's laid out it matters what's on there and what's not to a level that i [TS]

01:00:08 ◼   ► think is more nuanced and more important and hearts design for than a list of [TS]

01:00:12 ◼   ► episodes that's what I meant I think I understood what you meant and what I [TS]

01:00:17 ◼   ► would have said to my interpretation of what it was that that's where you're [TS]

01:00:21 ◼   ► concentrating your development effort for the 1.0 because you have to pick [TS]

01:00:25 ◼   ► something but the one kernel of truth I think was in all the feedback from my [TS]
