seonsakke··on Augmenting Human Intellect: A Conceptual Framework (1962) [pdf]
Thanks, this was the first time I came across this study. Will have to look more carefully into it - but, coming from an engineering background, I just love the engineer's approach behind this study:"... the intellectual effectiveness of a human can be significantly improved by an engineering-like approach toward redesigning changeable components of a system." (page 128)
seonsakke··on Ask HN: What Interests Developers in Voice User Interfaces?
I'm especially interested in natural-language user interfaces in the closed up ecosystems (such as Siri, Google Assistant, or Alexa), and then those solutions that are more open.
seonsakke··on Super Thinking: The Big Book of Mental Models
Congrats on the new book. How come the ebook (Kindle) is more expensive than the physical one? With higher commissions (and no printing or logistics costs) for the ebook, I'd expect the other way around.
seonsakke··on Historical Map of the Cognitive Sciences: An Attempt
Great start! I hope this is developed further. The issue always remains, what to include and what to leave out.
seonsakke··on The battle in Israel to create an unhackable phone
Good point: I think the cost of buying the service is much lower than the cost of any covert operations or infiltration. (This is a pure guess.)
seonsakke··on How to Crowdfund Your Startup
The topic is highly interesting but the article lacks structure and the content isn't aligned with the heading.

I'd headline this "Some of my experiences with and thoughts on crowdfunding", instead of a "How-to."

Another option would be "What not to do when you seek to crowdfund your startup," as most of the subheads are "Don't do X."

I hope Joe writes more on the topic.

seonsakke··on The battle in Israel to create an unhackable phone
kudos!
seonsakke··on The battle in Israel to create an unhackable phone
Great business model combination by these companies. The one focuses on hacking, the other on protecting from hacking.

I would think that the different national intelligence agencies would have high interest in infiltrating such companies.

seonsakke··on Ask HN: How does everyone handle mobile browser testing?
I'm interested in this, too.

I wonder how long it'll take for Medium to block this? :)
