“

One ship drives east and another drives west
With the selfsame winds that blow.
’Tis the set of the sails
And not the gales
Which tells us the way to go.

Like the winds of the sea are the ways of fate,
As we voyage along through life:
’Tis the set of a soul
That decides its goal,
And not the calm or the strife.

“

…occupants of HVAC [Mechanically Conditioned] buildings become more finely adapted to the narrow, constant conditions typically provided by mechanical conditioning, while occupants of NV [Naturally Ventilated] buildings prefer a wider range of conditions that more closely reflect outdoor climate patterns.

…our analysis suggests that psychological adaptation is the most likely explanation. In particular, we believe that indoor comfort temperatures in NV buildings are strongly influenced by shifting thermal expectations resulting from a combination of higher levels of perceived control, and a greater diversity of thermal experiences in the building.

bijan sabet: Always Be Recruiting:

bijan:

Most founding entrepreneurs I know would rather focus on the product more than anything else.

They are building something they personally want to see in this world and are scratching their own itch.

And that is why they started a company and raised money.

Then the hardest part comes. Execution.

Venture Level: Why Groupon Sucks For Merchants and LivingSocial Doesn't:

venturelevel:

It doesn’t matter whether you like Groupon or LivingSocial as a consumer or not, because this post is discussing why Groupon is like dealing with a child, for merchants.

As many of you know, I own a few QSR (quick service restaurant) outlets. I also have diversified interests in internet…

brycedotvc:

Last week I posted a quote from a talk Jack recently gave at Stanford. The video of his talk wasn’t online yet. It is now so I wanted to post this snippet.

I think his notion of CEO as Chief Editorial Officer is a powerful one. I’ve embedded just the portion of his talk that adds weight to this idea and made it required weekend viewing here on BRYCE DOT VC.

Extra credit points for watching the entire hour long lecture here.

Tim Morgan's thoughts that are too big for Twitter: The failures of the Mac App Store's UI, and that of its app, Twitter 2.0

Tim Morgan's thoughts that are too big for Twitter: The failures of the Mac App Store's UI, and that of its app, Twitter 2.0:

riscfuture:

I’m astounded that there hasn’t been a peep from Gruber about the problems and inconsistencies in the Mac App Store application, and those of the apps sold on it. My first experience with the Mac App Store was a purchase of the new Twitter app, of which Gruber had this to say:

Google Maps & Label Readability

Why Do Google Maps’s City Labels Seem Much More “Readable” Than Those of Its Competitors?

For months, I’ve been trying to figure out why Google Maps’s city labels seem so much more readable than the labels on other mapping sites.

To me, Google’s labels seem to “pop” much more than the other sites’ labels. Major cities also seem to stand out much more. [1] And whenever you’re quickly scanning the maps, the label you’re searching for seems to stand out just a little sooner on Google’s maps.
