The issue isn’t that people asked for faster horses. It’s that “What do you want?” is a terrible research question.
Ask these instead:
- What’s frustrating about traveling with your horse?
- Tell me about the last time you needed to go somewhere far away.
- What stops you from traveling more often?
- How does weather affect your trips?
Good research uncovers problems. It reveals pain points. It helps you understand what people are actually struggling with in their daily lives. What they’re working around. What they’ve given up on entirely.

How to understand users?
- ask about the past, not the future
- focus on behavior, not opinions.
- dig into the why
- listen for emotion
375 petabytes into an LTO cart.
Note the experiment was conducted on 156.6 kB and the cart can not be damaged or the whole data would be corrupted.
Another limitation is the rate: 156kB in 2.5 hours; so nearly 1kB per minute.
It is estimated that one kilometer of DNA can store 74.7 GB, way less than the LOT-9 capacity of around 18TB (45TB compressed).
So it remains a science project for now.
- BASE: The Bielefeld Academic Search Engine (BASE) contains 4,000 sources and provides search results from over 100 million documents. It also offers an advanced search option that allows users to narrow their research.
- Refseek: Refseek is a web search tool for students and researchers. You can access over a billion documents, books, newspapers, and journals without getting distracted by ads or sponsored links.

Wow so many interesting things to read about programming concepts and related stuff. I will pick some and post here summaries of it from time to time.
