"This strikes me as both unproductive and mean-spirited."

"I’m sorry, but how is any of this relevant to industrial design?"

"They don’t think it be like it is, but it do."

"Somehow, I don't think this complies with ANSI and OSHA standards. There's a reason PPE manufacturing is limited to large, engineering-heavy companies like 3M."

"This is polycaprolactone. It's already widely and cheaply available in pellet form."

"Not every product has to break new ground. Sometimes it's enough to be a fun and fresh take on an existing product category. Everyone got used to Segways and Hoverboards, and few people questioned electric skateboards. Why not Segway roller skates?"

"It's scenery porn. You're supposed to chew on it."

"I don't understand this human-made fetish people have.Industrial design is meant to feed into mass production. Designers are not artisans. The whole field is meant to bridge the gap between marketing and engineering. The bulk of anything any designer will ever design is going to be bashed together on an assembly line, sold at large and faceless retailers, and eventually thrown away when the new hotness comes along to replace it.People are just a means of production. They're not inherently special. May as well embrace it and ignore the marketing gimmicks used to sell it. You'll be happier if you do. That includes pasta."

"Sure it does. If the black color variant of that fabric offers even the subtlest reduction of friction while remaining within team color guidelines, it deserves to be there."

"Honestly, I believe the rationale given by UnderArmor. Their job was to confer every last advantage they could possibly offer the athletes wearing those uniforms. Color doesn't come for free, and different chemicals will alter materials properties very subtly. If an extra patch of black fabric over the crotch area can confer even a fraction of a second of benefit, bet on it being kept in the design.But a subtler reason to keep it is purely psychological. It's true that the design draws your eyes to the crotch. Equally true is that it's an area of the body that carries a lot of cultural baggage. That probably translates to more attention and attentiveness. Like it or not, you can't keep your eyes away. Drawing in the judges, the audience, and the media may well confer a benefit of its own, one that might even ripple out past the speed skating event. Screw your Victorian sensibilities; if it works, it works."

"I strongly disagree. The loop serves two functions: First, it gives the medal a loose, dangly, and very showy quality, emphasizing its size and the status it confers, which is exactly what you want to see in a medal presented to a winning, world-class athlete. The simple silhouette has an iconic quality about it that just screams, "Medal!" Second, it reflects the blocky form of the Hangul characters that make up the snowy ridges of the medal, and hints at the delightful surprises for the recipient to enjoy. I'd say it's a particularly well executed design.To be completely honest, considering the projects you've put up on your YouTube channel, well... You know the saying about bricks and glass houses."

"Polycaprolactone. It's already widely available online. You can get it super cheap in pellet form.The lack of disclosure on the Kickstarter campaign strikes me as very dishonest."
