EvanRoper Cynicism/irony can be extremely hard to deal with as it uses negativity to make an opposite point right from the start.@
drazendrnas Thank you. I still suck big time at openings. Have to get rid of the idea of an "introduction" and just start.@
remi_guyot By the way: that self assessment is not "General quality" but "How well I think I should be able to perform".@
remi_guyot In Lisbon (my guess 7/10) someone said "I could feel your angst". Sensitive people feel what the speaker feels and vice versa.@
remi_guyot I've learned to trust my gut feeling over how it went—response is getting better+better but I'm getting stricter with myself too@
EvanRoper I can't really condense it just yet. Negative feedback helps no matter how negative, yet directly engaging is detrimental.@
EvanRoper I came to think about it when I started to look at design feedback as an engineer and not as a "master".@
remi_guyot My impression looking at how comfortable I felt and looking at faces in the audience.@

iA however, obsessing over the terrorists, seeing their faces day-in-day-out, making them famous, creates terrorist role models.

iA irrelevant. Images/video will appear on the internet whether journalists officially publish them or not.

ninastoessinger I'll be doing it again. Will finish writing an extensive post on it. There is a small interview coming out later today too.First speech fully dedicated to "Dealing with negativity". Went so-so. I'd give it a 6/10. Some misunderstandings. It's quite a labyrinth.The dilemma: Is it inevitable that by reporting about terror, with images or without, we serve terror's purpose?

web_martin Thought so too. The profile pictures, right? But I think Apple had their manager pictures like that on their site before that.It looks pretty, but those headlines in uppercase italics read badly and speak with a torn loud voice:

dbushell Ah, now I get it. As so often, advances in technology lead to a graphic trend. Like bevels and fades etc...@
iA I'd guess the ability to crop square images with CSS has become easier in recent years, that and a hit app probably started a trend

davidboni …like, before it was trendy? ;-)@
madeby I'm not pissed at Microsoft or Adobe. I don't really care about them either. But Apple, I still care, which is why I tell them, too.@
madeby To be clear: I don't care. If I were their business consultant, which I am not, I'd advise strongly against that.@
madeby Console games. I don't sell consoles and I don't sell games. This is a massive change. And if I still played, I'd be pissed.@
dbushell Didn't realize it was a trend until today where circular cutouts popup everywhere and I started asking myself: What does it mean?@
madeby Because I find it interesting that Microsoft changes the way console games are sold. And the gif *is* efficient explaining it.@
madeby What *is* funny: you say: I am blaming Microsoft (which I didn't), for what I do (which I don't), cause you dislike a gif I posted.@
madeby Isn't negativity, accusations, blaming people generally a form of unreflected self mirroring? And what would that mean in your case?Circular pictures are definitely trendy now. In 6 months they are probably going to look like those glossy buttons.@
madeby There are counter opinions to every opinion—some are more, some are less substantial. But everybody is always somewhat right.The New XBox, uhm, One:

ShieldsAndrew @
ThomasBasboell Try to understand their POV until you are certain whether it's just different, bs, crazy or criminal.@
ThomasBasboell @
ShieldsAndrew As for post modernism and analytic philosophy. The late Foucault and the late Wittgenstein are cousins.@
ShieldsAndrew @
ThomasBasboell As far as I know ridiculing misinformation without addressing it directly is the best weapon in such cases.@
ShieldsAndrew @
ThomasBasboell To get back to the subject: Fighting misinformation will strengthen it. Letting it be can be dangerous too.@
ShieldsAndrew @
ThomasBasboell Yeah. Kicking people in the balls doesn't solve problems. Putting Hitler in prison made him write Mein Kampf.@
ShieldsAndrew @
ThomasBasboell Yeah. Philosophy cannot solve all of humanities problems. Maybe in that case a kick in the balls is better.@
ShieldsAndrew @
ThomasBasboell Yes. But the trick is: To really neutralise him, you should try to try to fully understand him first.
