Twitter was designed to be this system that you just scan for information that’s important or useful to you and then walk away, and if you wanna take a break you take a break.
The other thing I felt was that the philosophical concept behind the experiences also looked like it had been designed by technicians and not by entertainers. I felt I needed to grab hold of it and try and push the envelope as much as I possibly could right now.
Web pages are designed for people. For the Semantic Web, we need to look at existing databases.

My own skin-care ritual is quite simple and straightforward; I don’t like a lot of fuss, surprisingly. My products are designed to make you look and feel better. I think there are a lot of men out there who want and need the same products.
The Rosicrucians teach that all great religions have been given to the people among whom they are found, by Divine Intelligences who designed each system of worship to suit the needs of the race or nation to whom it was given. A primitive people cannot respond to a lofty and sublime religion, and vice versa.
The majority of fragrances are designed by people who have no idea what the house does. But for me, it had to be honest. That’s where it becomes personal.
I think ‘Macbeth’ was a play that I’ve always gotten so much out of. My wife played Lady Macbeth in a play, and I designed it. There are things in there that are just kind of extraordinary.

Even at the United Nations, where legend has it that the building was designed so that there could be no corner offices, the expanse of glass in individual offices is said to be a dead giveaway as to rank. Five windows are excellent, one window not so great.
Military investigations are designed not to find anyone guilty. And you can’t investigate up the chain of command, which is a huge impediment.
For me, it doesn’t matter if I am wearing a dress designed by a renowned designer or a regular dress. How I am carrying myself in it is what matters to me the most. I must feel complete in that outfit.
The action genre is kind of designed for a young male audience. But we found on ‘The Matrix’ that we hit the Valhalla of movie making, which is the four quadrant audience – the young male audience, the older male audience, the young female audience and the older female audience.
Whether it’s digital or physical, a pencil or a pen: line work. Humans are making things. And out of that comes the entire designed world we live within.
In 70s America, protest used to be very effective, but in subsequent decades municipalities have sneakily created a web of ‘overpermiticisation’ – requirements that were designed to stifle freedom of assembly and the right to petition government for redress of grievances, both of which are part of our first amendment.
For each of us, life is a journey. Heavenly Father designed it for us out of love. Each of us has unique experiences and characteristics, but our journey began in the same place before we were born into this world.
Public policy is designed by spin doctors who aim to keep our heads below the water. The public good is not a consideration, and their self-serving agendas prevail over common sense.

The 9/11 attack was symbolic. It was not designed to cripple us economically or militarily, at least not directly. It was designed to provoke a reaction.
Some have argued that the United States was designed to block majority rule; to be a ‘republic, not a democracy.’ This is ahistorical nonsense.
The first step in mobility was about letting people speak to each other; then, through 3G and 4G, we saw real connectivity – which works but isn’t really designed for quality streaming. With 5G, we won’t just be able to communicate better: it will democratise machines.
If you think about it, it requires a lot of effort and time and energy to make money in the real world, and if they made games equally as difficult to make money in, people wouldn’t play them. So they are generally designed to be hyper-inflationary because that’s more fun.
In computer animation, every detail has to be thought out, designed, modeled, shaded, placed and lit. The more you add, the more computer memory you need.
When I started my own practice, I was criticized, not because I was doing product design but because, like Le Corbusier, I was insisting on paintings in all of my buildings. I would paint wall murals in the houses that I designed, just as he did in the ’20s and ’30s.
At my first job in the mid-to-late ’90s, almost every product was from Microsoft. Everything was designed to work together – Windows for workgroups, shared M drives, etc., etc.
Terrorism is a tactic in which the primary objective is to produce fear, rather than direct harm. Terrorist attacks are, first and foremost, psychological operations designed to alter behavior amongst the terrorized in a way that the actors believe will serve them.
Throughout human history, the American Idea has done more to help the poor than any other economic system ever designed.
Ah, ‘Kismet,’ or Carry On Camel, as we called it. I thought the show was shocking. It was the worst designed production ever but it’s got a fantastic score. It’s not an awfully good book though. You really have to work hard to eke out any laughs from that script.
Memory is a magnet. It will pull to it and hold only material nature has designed it to attract.
There’s a shot that I designed to try and illustrate the scale of the Death Star that’s sort of framed in close on the equatorial trench as Krennic’s ship is leaving. The camera’s pulling back, and you start with it framed so you can kind of see those docking bays that are in that trench.
Buildings designed with careful attention to aesthetics arouse and enlighten their occupants and that promotes their good health.
Governance should be designed as an equalizer. Democrats are more inclined towards working families and those who are struggling for a better life.
Government can run and fund programs, but it can’t love, it can’t show compassion, and it can’t embrace. Our faith is designed to have social implications, not just heavenly ones. The spiritual and the social must be connected.
The sets of ‘Lootera’ itself transport you to the 15th century, since everything was designed according to that era.
A number of the major terrorist captures we have made, the terrorist operations designed for the United States that we have interrupted, were enabled by the terrorist tracking program.

The future of design is a future where anything material in the environment – whether it’s wearables, cars, buildings – can be designed with this variation of properties and relationship with the environment that can take part in the natural ecology.
It is certainly not news that the president is making mistakes; that he’s been intemperate. I think what shouldn’t be lost on the American people is that his first tweet around tapes was essentially designed to intimidate James Comey.
I guess you can stay sort of true to the story; you don’t have to artificially bring the character back from whatever doom you’ve designed for them, you can tell the story, I suppose, honestly.
The federal government should not be in the business of initiating and administering short-term incentive programs designed to shape consumer purchase behavior.
Computers are really, basically, computing elements and a lot of memory. They are pretty easy to understand, as compared to the brain, which was designed by evolution.

Most of the provisions designed to fix what ails our health system don’t kick in until 2014, which, one wishes administration officials had noticed, is two years after he has to win an election.
Corn is an efficient way to get energy calories off the land and soybeans are an efficient way of getting protein off the land, so we’ve designed a food system that produces a lot of cheap corn and soybeans resulting in a lot of cheap fast food.
Young people in college – many living away from their parents for the first time in their lives – are particularly vulnerable to the leftist propaganda campaign designed to turn them away from supporting president Trump and turning them away from believing in American exceptionalism.
The N.R.A.’s blessing of restrictions on bump stocks – devices that make semiautomatic weapons fire faster – is designed to pre-empt anything more serious by giving the illusion of action. It substitutes accessory control for actual gun control.
