Ramo do Direito DIREITO PROCESSUAL CIVIL

TemaPaz, Justiça e Instituições Eficazes <br /> Ação civil pública. Legitimidade ativa ad causam. Administração pública indireta. Pertinência temática. Necessidade.

Destaque - A legitimidade ativa na ação civil pública das pessoas jurídicas da administração pública indireta depende da pertinência temática entre suas finalidades institucionais e o interesse tutelado.

Informações do Inteiro Teor - Inicialmente, a pertinência temática consiste na "harmonização entre as finalidades institucionais das associações civis ou dos órgãos públicos legitimados e o objeto a ser tutelado na ação civil pública. Em outras palavras, mencionadas pessoas somente poderão propor a ação civil pública em defesa de um interesse cuja tutela seja de sua finalidade institucional"

• É fato que o art. 5º da Lei n. 7.347/1985 apenas exige expressamente da associação, pessoa jurídica de direito privado, a comprovação de pertinência temática para propositura de ação civil pública.

• Por conseguinte, em uma interpretação literal, não seria necessária a comprovação da pertinência temática para que as autarquias, empresas públicas, fundações públicas e sociedades de economia mista ajuizassem ações coletivas.

• Nessa perspectiva, os integrantes da administração pública indireta passariam a ter amplos poderes, concorrendo, inclusive, com as finalidades institucionais do Ministério Público e da Defensoria Pública, convertendo-se em verdadeiros "procuradores universais", com legitimidade para ajuizamento das mais variadas demandas coletivas, independentemente de sua área de atuação.

• Tal concepção <u>ignora</u> as competências legais e estatutárias das instituições, as quais delimitam o campo de atuação das pessoas jurídicas integrantes da administração pública indireta. Sob o mesmo raciocínio, a doutrina entende que "*não basta a existência fática de uma pessoa da Administração Pública indireta: necessário se faz o exame de seu regime estatutário* (lei, regulamento, contrato ou ato de constituição etc.). Será o seu estatuto que conferirá legitimidade adequada (ou não) à pessoa jurídica, com densidades diferentes: uma coisa é uma autarquia; outra, uma sociedade de economia mista com capital aberto na bolsa de valores".

• Portanto, não há como considerar titular do interesse, na propositura da ação coletiva, pessoa jurídica da administração pública indireta sem nenhum vínculo com a tese jurídica deduzida, cujo objeto litigioso não se encontra entre aqueles a serem protegidos por sua finalidade institucional.

This is foreshadowing Tea Cake possibly dying. The dog may have been rabid. Back then they didn't know what that was though

Mrs. Turner is extremely racist. She refuses to marry or be around any people of color

Janie hadnt felt jealous with anyone else she has been with except for Tea Cake. Her past relationships may have caused a toll on her jealousy control too

Tea Cake has a stable job and has a lot of interesting hobbies he takes up on his time

These men are funny!

Janie was still very scared to pursue a new relationship in fear that it may be a repeat of her last relationship that she had

Tea cake is injured but trying to stay calm and not panic

She had finally made a choice to be with Tea Cake. After grieving her husband too

Janie is taking a risk with tea cake

He was insecure about him being older than Janie and not much good looking as Janie. He knew Janie was too good for him and he was only getting older.

M-Claudeossus: cooperates with candor, defects on deceit, forgives on contact with truth.

This indicates some symbolism. It may show that janies husband viewed her as evil and not wanting to be led

This indicates that people though Hicks was too old for Janie at this time, that's why they called her his daughter

This horizontal scrolling section featuring products like coffee, protein shakes and tea almost certainly has no meaningful alt text on any of the product images, meaning a screen reader user would have absolutely no idea what they are looking at, which directly violates the Perceivable principle from POUR. The horizontal scrolling format also raises concerns around the Operable principle since keyboard-only users may find it difficult or impossible to navigate through all the products. Simply adding descriptive alt text like "Kicking Horse Decaf whole bean coffee" to each image would make a significant difference for visually impaired users.

This section shows a row of product images including dumbbells, resistance bands, a water bottle and fitness trackers, all of which are almost certainly missing meaningful alt text descriptions. A screen reader user would have no way of knowing what any of these products actually are, which is a direct violation of the Perceivable principle from POUR. It is also worth noting that having so many similar looking product images lined up in a row with no clear labels makes this section visually overwhelming, which could be an issue for users with cognitive disabilities too. A simple fix would be adding descriptive alt text to every product image like "purple 3lb dumbbells" or "Gritin resistance bands set of 5."

The large image of the red handbag with strawberries in the background is a really nice visual but almost certainly has no descriptive alt text, which means a screen reader user would completely miss what is being advertised here. This is a violation of the Perceivable principle from POUR since the information is essentially invisible to anyone using assistive technology. The "Shop all" link underneath also suffers from the same vague labelling issue mentioned in other sections, where a screen reader user would have no context about where that link actually leads.

The images in this section like the yellow dress and striped shorts are clearly being used as navigation links to different fashion categories but likely have no descriptive alt text attached to them. This violates the Perceivable principle of POUR since a screen reader user would get no useful information about what each image actually shows. The subcategory labels like "Women," "Men," "Premium Brands," and "All fashion" are at least somewhat helpful, but without proper alt text on the images the section is still pretty inaccessible for visually impaired users.

The images in this section like the tote bag, hat and soccer ball are being used as clickable links but almost certainly have no meaningful alt text, meaning a screen reader user would have no idea what they are clicking on. This is a pretty clear violation of the Perceivable principle from POUR that we covered in Module 2. On top of that labels like "Outdoorsy dad" and "Cool dad" are fun visually but are vague and do not really tell you what products are actually in each category, which goes against the Understandable principle too.

The yellow button actually does a good job with colour contrast and the label "Sign in securely" is clear and specific, which aligns with the Perceivable and Understandable principles from POUR. However the heading above it, "Sign in for your best experience," reads more like a marketing slogan than a functional description, which would not be very helpful for someone navigating by headings on a screen reader. Something simpler like "Sign in to your account" would honestly communicate the same thing in a much more accessible way.

This shows that joe is financially responsible and he knows how to manage his money

Another term related to the internet performance is latency, so we just talked about bandwidth, which is the throughput or the speed that you can upload and download information latency, then, is a measure of the time. It takes a piece of data to reach its destination. So, it's typically measured in milliseconds or thousandths of a second. A ping activity, which will measure the latency of your network. So, ping is a networking utility used by Network administrators to measure the administrators to measure the latency on the internet. So, what you can do is, you can go to a website and use their ping utility to test the reachability of certain hosts.

大多数人认为AI公司会默认使用用户数据进行模型训练以改进产品。但作者明确表示Anthropic不会默认使用客户数据进行训练，这挑战了AI行业普遍的数据收集和训练实践，是一个非共识的隐私立场。

大多数人认为AI将颠覆传统行业和现有企业关系。但作者强调，像QuickBooks这样的传统企业正在积极拥抱AI，与AI公司合作而非竞争，这挑战了关于AI与传统企业关系的非此即彼的认知。

大多数人认为小企业面临资源限制是永恒的约束。但作者引用CEO的话表明，AI正在重新定义这些约束，认为曾经被视为限制的因素现在已不再是真正的障碍，这挑战了关于小企业资源限制的传统观念。

大多数人认为AI工具的采用障碍主要是成本问题或技术复杂性。但作者指出，真正的障碍在于现有工具和培训未能适应小企业的运营方式，导致AI使用仅停留在基础聊天层面，这挑战了关于AI采用障碍的主流认知。

大多数人认为AI技术会扩大大企业和小企业之间的差距，因为大企业有更多资源采用新技术。但作者认为AI是首个能够缩小这种差距的技术，因为它能以相对较低的成本提供强大的能力，使小企业能够获得与大企业相当的工具和效率。

大多数人认为量子计算需要专门的量子物理知识和算法设计，但作者认为通用AI代理可以优化量子电路并实现数量级的改进。这挑战了量子计算领域的传统方法，暗示AI可能成为量子计算进步的关键驱动力，而非仅仅是一个辅助工具。

大多数人认为数据库优化需要人类数据库专家的经验和知识，但作者认为AI可以独立发现并改进核心数据库算法。这挑战了数据库工程领域的传统实践，暗示AI可能在最基础的系统组件上实现超越人类专家的优化。

大多数人认为数学证明需要人类直觉和创造力，但作者认为AI工具可以显著加速数学发现过程，甚至帮助人类找到更严谨的证明。这挑战了数学研究作为纯粹人类智力活动的传统观念，暗示AI可能成为数学家的真正合作伙伴而非简单工具。

大多数人认为AI系统的硬件设计需要人类专家精心设计，但作者认为AI本身可以设计出比人类更高效的硬件电路。这挑战了传统硬件工程领域的共识，暗示AI可能在最底层的硬件设计上超越人类专家的直觉和经验。

大多数人认为AI实验室之间的竞争是为了技术进步和社会福祉。但作者暗示这种竞争更像是为了赢得价值数十万亿美元的自动化劳动力市场，这种'赢家通吃'的动态进一步加剧了顶级研究者的薪酬差距，可能带来极小的社会收益。

大多数人认为随着AI普及，薪酬差距可能会缩小或趋于稳定。但作者认为，随着AI用户数量和使用频率的增加，'超级明星效应'只会变得更加重要，顶级AI研究者的薪酬差距可能会进一步扩大，甚至出现1亿美元的年薪也不够的情况。

大多数人认为AI智能爆炸的速度取决于模拟顶尖研究者与普通研究者能力的巨大差异。但作者认为，如果薪酬差距主要是由'超级明星效应'而非真实能力差异驱动，那么研究者之间的实际能力差距可能小得多，这对AI发展速度的预测有重要影响。

大多数人认为只有那些真正卓越的'10倍研究者'才值得超高薪酬。但作者认为，即使是只有2倍能力的AI研究者，由于其工作可以影响数十亿用户，微小的质量优势也能产生巨大价值差异，从而获得远超中位数的薪酬。

大多数人认为顶级AI研究者获得超高薪酬是因为他们能力远超常人，可能是10倍甚至100倍更优秀。但作者认为，即使超级明星研究者只比普通博士后好一点点，薪酬差距也会非常大，因为'超级明星效应'会将微小的能力差异转化为巨大的薪酬差异。

What is that?

La creación de muñecas en la forma de personas evoca la teoría de lo siniestro de Freud, especialmente en el caso de este cuento donde las muñecas tienen la apariencia física de las niñas. Por añadidura, la semejanza entre las muñecas y las niñas deja expandir temas de control y quién lo tiene. Por ejemplo, si fueras una muñeca, no podrías hablar, pensar, mover ni vivir sin otra persona controlándote. Para respaldar esta idea, la tía da la última muñeca antes de la boda, que puede ser un comentario de cómo el último día en que una mujer puede hacer lo que quiera es el día antes de que se case, después de casarse, ella se convierte en una muñeca, controlada por su esposo.

Esta frase emplea la teoría de lo abyecto por Kristeva. La idea de una presencia que no es sí mismo, pero está dentro de sí mismo y utiliza su sangre, carne y cuerpo para "engordar" también plantea temas de ser controlado. Es posible que la chágara pueda ser un símbolo de los Estados Unidos y su control sobre Puerto Rico después de la guerra española-estadounidense. Respaldando esta noción, la esterilización forzosa en masa en Puerto Rico causada por los Estados Unidos. Combinando la teoría de Kristeva con la chágara como símbolo de la intervención estadounidense en Puerto Rico, Ferré crea una imagen de la colonización y el control impérico como algo abyecto y antinatural, algo que no puede ser visto como normal ni cotidiano.

A dependent variable: strength of LOT and ASSN inputs on the same pyramidal cells

A strength of this study is using neurobiological tests, which can be more specific than behavioral tests.

why all caps?

This claim is somewhat belied by all the quotations from other scholars, who are acknowledging that Loy's portrait poems say something about her own art and life.

This paragraph feels like you're struggling a bit to differentiate your argument from the critics. You've got a latent argument here that you could make, in the idea that the boundaries between self and other are permeable, particularly in the Paris community of expatriate artists. By returning to the setting of Paris, you could argue that Loy found herself by portraying others in Paris, a place where artists lived and worked in close proximity, inspiring one another with their bold experiments in both art and life.

Fascinating insight. Does this suggest that the boundaries of selfhood are permeable? Or that all innovative artists share certain qualities and characteristics that distinguish them from the average joes? Or perhaps, that Loy uses portraiture as a mode of introspection, looking outward in order to better understand herself.

Good idea to put the portraits side by side, though I think it calls to mind some of her later photos by Man Ray more!

Did I say that?! Where? (include parenthetical)

Good connection to Feminist Manifesto, but the text is too tiny to read. Better to quote only a passage.

Again, we may not need this detail, nor the "ultimately"

Do we need these details, or can you just say:

Lewis argues that Loy's abstraction wasn't abstract...

a work of fictino?

Good point, but this close reading lacks the specificity of the previous one, so it seems like another example of the same thing, rather than an example that generates a new, different insight or illuminates another dimension of her portraiture.

Personally, I like your writing style better than his. Maybe you could make the font smaller? It's like he's yelling over you!

Cool idea -- what tactics? And how does she make use of readymades in this poem, a tactic typically associated with Marcel Duchamp rather than Joyce?

unnecessary verbiage that doesn't really tell us any more about his argument or the poem -- just cut it.

Just say: Bowen Wang argues that...

excellent concise, compelling close reading

Wow! How did you animate the poem image with the boldface? Amazing!

This is really good. I think the easiest way to clear up confusion is to say something like: Most of the photographic and literary portraits of Mina Loy made by other people were created during her Paris years. Loy also created many portraits during her Paris years: of the ten poems she published, 5 are portrait poems. It is these 5 portrait poems that I will examine here.

So you're talking about portraits of Loy made by other people?

What do the portraits have to do with the Paris poems. I want to hear about both, but this seems like a jarring shift, after you just announced a purpose to look at the Paris poems. Perhaps you could smooth the transition by emphasizing in the previous paragraph and this one that Loy's Paris years were distinguished by a market interest in portraiture. Though Loy made portraits throughout her career, she did so with a particular intensity in both poetry and prose in the Paris years. (if this is true, that is!)

Also, it would be helpful to know whether you're talking about portraits of her or by her or both.

The Bowery years were important artistically and poetically, so should probably have their own frame in this timeline.

This is really tragic, because Loy had refused to see him or answer his letters, apparently out of anger at his father.

Cravan

Maybe this level of detail would be better in a narrative than a timeline?

cut clutter

John actually went by "Giles," which how he's usually referred to.

Did you forget to supply this one?!

Avoid equating the poem with autobiography. You might say Haweis was having an affair, a detail Loy alludes to in her poem about childbirth, "Parturition."

Interesting at a moment when most women would take their husband's last name, she chose to reinvent herself as an artist.

Good, clear opening and enticing, informative timeline.

Why Senior Developers Fail to Communicate Their Expertise

• Conflict of Interest: Senior developers and business leaders operate in different "loops." The business prioritizes the Speed Loop (reducing uncertainty by getting to market fast), while senior developers prioritize the Stability Loop (managing complexity to ensure the system remains debuggable and reliable).
• Vocabulary Mismatch: Communication fails because developers talk about "complexity" and "technical debt," which sound like excuses to non-technical stakeholders. Stakeholders are focused on "uncertainty" and "growth."
• The "Solution" Frame: To communicate effectively, seniors must frame their concerns as solutions to the business's problems. Instead of saying "no" to complexity, they should offer "something quicker" (reusing existing tools, Google forms, or minimal UI changes) to help the business learn faster without bloating the code.
• AI as a Destabilizer: AI-generated code accelerates the Speed Loop but creates a "complexity explosion" that threatens long-term stability. The senior developer’s role is shifting toward that of an Editor, responsible for extracting stable, scalable logic from the rapid "vomit drafts" produced by AI and junior staff.
• The Proposed Split: A potential workflow involves maintaining two versions of a system: a "Speed" version for rapid experimentation and a "Scale" version that is curated, stabilized, and owned by senior architects.

Hacker News Discussion

• The "World Model" Gap: A top-voted comment argues that true expertise is an internal "world model" or intuition that is inherently difficult to put into words. It isn't just a list of facts but a deeply integrated understanding of how systems behave.
• Recipe vs. Physics: Commenters distinguish between "recipe-following" developers (who use tools without understanding the underlying logic) and "physics-based" developers who understand the fundamental nature of computation.
• The Role of Failure: Discussion emphasized that senior intuition is built primarily through experiencing failures and reflecting on them over many years. This mental shift often happens when a developer stops trying to learn syntax and starts focusing on solving specific visions or problems.
• The "Senior" Title: There was significant debate about whether "senior" is a measure of years (tenure) or actual merit, with many noting that some developers with decades of experience still only follow recipes and lack the "world model" required for true expertise.
• Abstraction Struggles: Some users noted that while they have a "physics-level" understanding of physical sciences (like chemistry or biology), software abstractions feel arbitrary and "anti-physicalist," making it harder for some brilliant minds to build that same level of intuition.

Summary of "Googlebook" Discussion (Hacker News)

• The Concept: Googlebook is presented as a high-end hardware play—a "premium upgrade" to the Chromebook—intended to shift the user experience from traditional apps to an LLM-native environment powered by Gemini.
• The Vision: Some users see this as a "moonshot" to make apps irrelevant, replacing them with raw data feeds and AI-driven visualizations, potentially creating a "sci-fi" style user interface.
• Execution Skepticism: A dominant theme is doubt regarding Google's ability to execute. Commenters cited current frustrations with Gemini (cutting off mid-sentence, poor Maps integration, and hallucinations in Sheets) as evidence that the tech isn't ready for a primary OS role.
• Target Audience: Discussion suggests Google is targeting "Chromebook natives"—students who grew up in the Google ecosystem and are now entering university or the workforce and want a "pro" version of their familiar tools.
• Public Sentiment on AI: There is a sharp divide in perceived AI adoption. Some argue "normies" (non-tech users) love AI for daily tasks and creative fun, while others claim people increasingly resent AI being "forced" into every product.
• Competitive Landscape: Comparison was drawn to historical shifts (like the move to Mosaic/Web browsers). While some see this as an inevitable evolution, others believe Apple’s approach—gradually improving Siri and app intents—is more practical than trying to eliminate apps entirely.

Πολύ ωραία περιοχή. Αξίζει να την επισκεφτείς.

What is unique about the study is that it is looking at a change and not just a mechanism for likes and dislikes taste-wise

Interesting that change in natural aversion to bitterness could be because the taste cannot be sensed as well

Dopamine is associated with pleasure and motivation, so its connection to taste pathways fits into the system

Uncertainty in unexpected results between MSG and MPG solutions, possible interactions between sodium and umami signals

Next step to take would be establishing a period of time where exposure induces changes in taste preferences

Exposure to one taste quality does not affect preference for another

Results from study support hypothesis and previous research on the modification of taste preference through experience

Cellular populations respond to a mix of negative and positive tastants with some bias in tendency

Interesting or unexpected finding that some Sst-positive neurons responded to both umami and sweet

As expected, the largest populations of Prkcd-positive neurons responded to the bitter

Hypothesis for neural activity mechanisms in connection to taste quality response

In addition to behavioral changes, study is interested in neuronal activity associated with them

Exposure to bitter flavors led to a higher consumption of the bitter solution and less aversion

Habituation period lasted 3-4 days, not long enough to see long-term effects in preference

Indicates that the experiments with MSG reflect umami effect and not just sodium effects

Interesting that more contact was made (exploration) but intake preference for whatever they had been consuming previously still existed

As expected, more exposure to umami flavor led to more preference for intake of that solution

Experimental variable was the solution provided for feeding: water (control), umami, or bitter

Stastistical analysis was done with t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and Tukey's post-hoc test

Exposure to three taste qualities: bitter, sweet, and umami

1 - this website offers a variety of subheadings and embedded links that help the user navigate the website and relevant topics in Toronto currently such as the cherry trees blooming in high volume areas of the city, namely High Park. However, the what's new page does not include the list of long standing or yearly events which the city hosts throughout the year, such as Nuit Blanche.

2 - The subheadings on the site are very simple and easily understood, which would be beneficial for Toronto's diverse communities and individuals who may have a difficult time navigating a website with a more complex or word heavy interface.

3 - The homepage of the website only showcases a very small amount of information one using the website may access, with only the search bar to find what one needs, which may be difficult for people who may not know their exact search query or have difficulties with searching.

4 - The page does offer it's own translation feature, which would be expected to be more reliable than the Google offered automatic feature as one would assume the city would employ real translators to translate the page. This feature would be beneficial for Toronto's healthy population of non-english or ESL individuals.

5 - The phone number 311 is not specified as being a phone number for the city, which may make it confusing or difficult for a new resident to contact the city for relevant services or assistance.

We need to add filtering options.

In the table I would like to see Disease, Clinical trial number + Title, Geography (a specific country or international), Phase, Status, Enrollment, Primary Completion Date.

I would like to add additional sections: 1. Sales (wee what we have in the current US) 2. Clinical Evidence 3. Technology Features - we are collecting additional features for certain technologies. These features are technology dependent.

Add Technology/Modality (like Antibody Drug Conjugate) somewhere prominently, eg. next to target

Indication is a specific language used for approved indications. it is okay if we use Indication also where the drug is studied but not yet approved. For the approved indications we need more details: Exact Indication Language - Structured Indication - Date of Approval - FDA (US) /EMA (EU) /PMDA (JP) or NMPA (China). Keep in mind that a drug like Keytruda has 30+ indication in the US alone.<br /> Each of these indication is supported by clinical evidence (clinical trial data) which could be also linked to the indication.

For indication, which are not yet approved we could simple list the disease, disease stage and line of therapy (keep in mind the same drug might be studies in the same disease but a different line of therapy).

I would change "Failed" to "Discontinued"

I don't think we need this. Unless we want to track previous ownerships. Which is a big task by why not. In this case I would change it to "Ownership history"

I don't think we need this

I think you might be able to make this argument more effectively if you emphasized her resistance to the sexualizing male gaze rather than to patriarchal pressures more broadly. Your wonderful analyses of the paintings show HOW they resist the male gaze. It's much harder to show how she's resisting something as abstract and general as patriarchal pressures.

What does "this" refer to? What are the patriarchal assumptions she's resisting?

Ahh, this is exactly the kind of comparison that might work better above in the place of a generalization about male painters, but tell us about the stylistic differences. Is Degas an example of patriarchal attitudes? or of the modernist erotic destruction of the female body?

A similar trope appears in Djuna Barnes's novel Nightwood, where a circus performer's leotards become one with their body.

excellent choice and use of evidence.

I have a hard time with such unsubstantiated generalizations. It might help to provide a representative example or two, otherwise you're relying solely on what's called a warrant of authority: Because Pike says it, it is so.

where in the novel do you see evidence of resistance to patriarchy?

Aha! You had a similar thought. I agree that it's offensive but think we can also see how she is using the stereotype of the Negro as stronger, more physical, and more primitive as a way of revitalizing her own white, female body--that's how Primitivist tropes work. White people create exotic fantasies about the dark Other and then feed on them to revitalize themselves.

Do you think it would be wise to acknowledge this primitivist trope as one of the ways she imagines greater physical power in her own body?

I think you could provide all this useful information in one condensed, concise paragraph, and deliver a more precise thesis. What "profound meaning" will your analysis reveal?

As I read on, it seems like your thesis is that dance in the novel does not serve as evidence of anorexia, but is an art form that confers strength and autonomy onto the main character, allowing her to locate herself physically and creatively outside of her roles as daughter, wife, and mother.

can you provide textual evidence to support these perceptive claims?

no comma necessary here.

This seems like an important quotation for reclaiming and redirecting the power of blue veins toward her own fame as an artist, rather than toward sex appeal to a man.

Why does the text of the paragraphs keep changing in font size?

What does "this" refer to?

She interprets the novel... (maybe unnessary rep?)

Payne effectively diagnoses Fitzgerald...

unclear who is doing the assuming

Possibly give a short plot summary of the novel to get readers interested and grounded in it before you do your lit review.

This phrase seems repetitive, since you told us she not only admired but actually studied it as a child. Maybe just say: she became captivated by the idea of taking up ballet professionally.

This is a marvelous introduction to your project. You've made StoryMap operate like a ScrollyTeller with a zoom function!

Webpage Complexity: This webpage may create accessibility challenges because the advertisements placed throughout the article can make the page feel visually cluttered and distracting. The large amount of competing content throughout the article, including advertisements at the top and sides of the webpage, may make it more difficult for some users to focus on important information or navigate the webpage efficiently. This connects to accessibility concepts related to avoiding webpage complexity and presenting web content in a simpler, more structured way to reduce cognitive overload for users.

Navigation / Header Menus: The navigation menus support the “Operable” principle of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines because users can easily move through different sections of the website and access information in an organized way. The clear layout and dropdown menus make it easier for users to quickly find news topics and content they are interested in.

Clear Colour Contrast: This webpage demonstrates good accessibility through strong colour contrast between the black text and white background. This connects to the “Perceivable” principle of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines because clear contrast helps users with visual impairments read content more easily.

My oppinion on what Steve Jobs is conveying is that if your trying to selll a products, you should start with the user needs and wants. Rather than trying to package some technology you created, you should have the User drive the technology. This way you spend more time on creating technologies that your customers will actually want.

Steve Jobs says that to create a good product, you need to put the customer first. A product that is made FOR a customer should be what they want and what they will use, not just the coolest thing you can create with a ton of bells and whistles. Rather than focusing on what you can do or the company's goal with a product, think about what the average consumer is most likely to be looking for.

Steve Jobs is a smart and great business man, he understands in order to be successful you need to fix a problem of what the user has and engineer a product like that in order to sell it and make moeny. He also recognized that there will be problems that'll come up and they will have to be fixed.

It seems that Steve Jobs had really thought through what his plan was and combatted the negative connotation very thoroughly. His engineering background really helped him make his point and back it up with facts and future strategies to implement.

Steve Jobs argued back by bringing up the laser printer example, before the laser printer existed it was hard to put the customer first in this case and you had to make the technology before the customer. Then when he brought up holding up the paper and saying "here look at this, wanna buy it" starts creating that user experience that was mentioned. He prefers this way so that he can the main issues that need to be fixed that caters to the users experiance.

Steve Job states, in the industry you must start and learn your constomers first and then market the technology around your audience. Rather than vice versa. In order to sell, you must target a specific group, and that is the real strategy to a marketing magician. This is absolutely correct because if you decide to release a product that would only interest a few individuals, sales go down and leaves you unable to make other products on the market.

I like Jobs emphasis on user experience, this idea that any successful business must first and foremost look to the user before even beginning to think about the product. Theres no point in having advanced technology if it is inaccessible to the user!

I agree with Steve Jobs' point that technology should be about the user experience rather than the technical aspects. People will not enjoy using a product if it has advanced technology and is not easy to use or understand. I believe it is important to include human centered design in technology because it makes it easier, and more usable for humans. Steve Jobs also demonstrated that good design isn't just about looks, it's about knowing what people need and building products that seem like a breeze.

I feel like Steve was basically saying that "why go through the work of making a cool product that no one wants". This is the backbone of good design, why gather an engineering group together to make a profitless product? Working with the customer experience and working backwards is how online and non online stores function. Lets take hallmark for example, if there was not a customer need for celebratory cards, then there is no need to open a card shop.

Steve Jobs just sounds as meandering as any other CEO addressing criticism. his smugness almost makes him more obnoxious.

One of the most interesting things about the video was how calmly Steve Jobs handled criticism during the 1997 Worldwide Developers Conference. Instead of reacting emotionally to the insult, he stayed confident and respectful while explaining his vision for Apple’s future. What made his response powerful was that he focused on problem-solving and innovation rather than arguing with the audience member.

I believe Steve Jobs handled this well when the audience member asked me what he has done and insulted him. Steve Jobs answered it well and professional. He answered the guys question and explained his reasoning.

Steve Jobs is essentially trying to argue against the dark patterns that companies are diving into. His point that putting the customers first before the technology and trying to sell them something is the main issue. He prefers user experience and customers overall well being over trying to fall into these dark patterns.

Steve jobs is essentially conveying that the cohesive ecosystem and user experience is far more important than the technology behind it. You can see this today with almost all major companies. For example, very similarly to apple, YouTube is constantly changing the general layout or styling to seek for a better user experience.

I like that he noted you have to start with the user experience first and then work backwards from there. Love or hate him, he was a very smart businessman in the sense that he really knew his customer. If you invent a world changing piece of technology, but nobody knows how to use it, that technology is useless. You need to make sure the people you market your product to can actually use it, or else will never take off.

That 1997 response is a masterclass in emotional intelligence and strategic poise. Instead of trading insults with the developer, Jobs used the "Working Backwards" framework to redefine Apple’s entire philosophy. He disarmed the critic by admitting his own technical limitations, shifting the conversation away from individual features and toward a cohesive customer experience.

By defending the engineers "burning the midnight oil," he turned a moment of public hostility into a powerful rallying cry for the company’s new direction. It wasn’t just a clever comeback; it was the exact moment Apple stopped being a struggling computer manufacturer and started becoming the experience-driven powerhouse we know today.

This is a great quote from Steve Jobs. What he is saying proves that the user (or customer) experience is a critical factor in design. Maybe one of the most important ones. I think him understanding this made him as successful as he is today, and it is important to think like that going forward.
