If Belichick threw his paper notebook^1, would you assume it's because of the notebook? Or because his team just threw an interception, missed a field goal, or lost the game? I don't think we have any context as to what happened in that gif.
He threw the tablet because it wasn't working for him, per Belichick:
> As you probably noticed, I’m done with the tablets. I’ve given them as much time as I can give them. They’re just too undependable for me. I’m going to stick with pictures as several of our other coaches do as well because there just isn’t enough consistency in the performance of the tablets, so I just can’t take it anymore.
I see no called-out connection between anything in the article and the gif at the top of it. It's a good gif to go along with the article, but I don't think we can say "he threw the tablet in this image because he was angry with it".
Edit: this comment is at -2 at the moment. If I'm wrong, please make the connection. I earlier pointed out that coaches are often emotional^1, and we have no idea if him throwing the tablet is related to him being angry at it, or even if it's a recent image.
Consider a video of an office worker smashing their keyboard in frustration and an interview about the server being constantly down. If the article and comments section focused on the clear inferiority of Logitech peripherals you would probably wonder if brand prejudice was playing a role.
I wonder how much thought they put into theft prevention if this is really intended to be used in schools - the ability to just pull this out the the USB port and walk off seems entirely too tempting in a school setting.
I think there's a better chance of people reading it if delivered in small chunks. He also gets to deliver 8 ads (or whatever marketing opp) instead of just one.
Wow I had a completely incorrect understanding of what credit unions are and what you'd use them for...this looks like exactly the kind of alternative I'd like to explore. Thanks!
This is really slick! Much nicer interface than a lot of the other online drafting sites I have seen. It would be awesome to be able to draft a cube, which would have slightly different logic to only allow a single copy of each card.
I also think you should have the most common recent draft formats pre-selected. Most people coming here will want to do Theros/Born of the Gods, RTR block, or whatever - only a small slice will want to go crazy with the Legends-Champions of Kamigawa-Ravnica drafts.
Lastly, I would like to see the card display a little more contained, just so it's easier to see your picks and your pack all neatly on the screen. MTGO isn't good for much, but it does have a great interface in this respect (smaller, tiled cards that you can click-to-zoom, and sorting by CMC + color).
That's all I got for now - I'm at work but I'll try to dig into it a bit more when I get home and give some more feedback.
Thanks for the awesome response! I definitely plan to support cube at some point. I also plan to add standard draft presets so you can easily get a standard draft started.
I will take a look at the UI suggestions. Thanks :)
I think this practice is a short-term solution. Every new company that starts accepting Bitcoin does help spread adoption. Eventually, it will mature and the price will stabilize, but this part is going to have to happen before we can get there.
