Plus, the tourist from the ships contribute to the higher prices of everything. And they don't even sleep (and sometimes eat, because the cruise is offering the meals) in the city, so they just use the space.
The move is great on Ive's side, but on the customer side I thing Apple will start to do the right compromise, and then the wrong ones. Apple should start to promote others designers, this job is like a dream (huge company, almost unlimited budget, and you can price the articles high).
I was victim of a fraud (a shop factured me twice, then they refused the pay me back the money) while paying with N26. They helped me to get my money back, so from my point of view they help fraud victims.
I think her story is out a lot because for a lot of people it seems easy to understand. She was at a new school who was hard, and due to the pressure she killed herself. I think the story is way more dense than that, plus the fact that you never know what is really going on inside people head. But the simplification of the story, the rather attractive girl, the perfect life that she was posting on social network, the big and famous university are some of the factors that might explains why she is more publicized than other. But every fight need a face, and today she is the face.
I also didn't think this. I've read the book but not the article, and while the conclusion seems fine, a lot of the material in the book is stretched.
The one that bothered me the most was the inclusion of the India soap program as support for checklists -- those are entirely different models.
The soap model involved researchers handing out free soap, and teaching people that they should wash with the soap in any of a set of specific circumstances:
- once a day (full body)
- before preparing food (hands)
- before eating (hands)
- before distributing food to anyone (hands)
- after defecating (hands)
- after wiping an infant (hands)
This made a big dent in the prevalence of disease in experimental neighborhoods. Great! This was a good idea. But it's not an example of a checklist. The concept here is that, every time you do anything at all, you see whether it's one of those five hands-washing circumstances, and if it is, then you wash your hands. This is the opposite of a checklist, where you perform a series of verifications whenever you take a specific particular action, not whenever you take any action at all.
(Obviously, people can't handle the mental load of "before doing _anything_, check to see..." and instead would have added "wash your hands" to the appropriate five behavioral sequences. That reduces the mental load from (1) a constant mental drain on any activity of any kind to (2) learning five things. But if you make that switch, you stop having any relationship to the checklist concept at all.)
