I think that UX cannot always be easily copied. Technology enables UX. When the underlying technology is commodity—which is often the case—it's easy for competitors to copy the UX.…

Furthermore, this photo-forward interface design pattern presents candidates' physical attractiveness as the most salient feature. While this is desirable in a dating app, this is …

At the end of the day, the advice seeker is responsible for the evaluation of given advice for their situation. That's a key difference between advice and instruction. The advice g…

I'm impressed by how much sheer ~style~ PostHog is rocking, from the Ursula von Der Leyen privacy notice to hedgehog Godzilla hero video on their home page.

Indeed. Anecdotally, I use ChatGPT through Raycast so that I get pulled out of whatever context I'm working in then.

I find this comment dismissive, negative, and disrespectful; I feel compelled to write an opposite comment should the author himself read this. It requires sensitivity to notice an…

Sure. ~current Tilderino

Humans have moral agency whereas animals have little or none. Animals must listen to their instincts, whereas humans get a choice. That choice is more important to some people, les…

The alarm bell and lights were set off. When the police recovered the bike, they found that the thief had duct taped over the lights and speakers. Interestingly, both incidents hap…

I have a VanMoof bike with both a GPS and a Find My tracker. The first time it got stolen in Berkeley, I recovered it. It hadn't gone far, so the police were able to locate it and …

You're not kidding. It seems like an award mill. https://www.red-dot.org/search?tx_solr%5Bfilter%5D%5B0%5D=re... Many of these award-winning laptops are abominations.

If concerns about privacy were widespread enough to stop Google Glass, then surely they would have prevented the mass adoption of always listening, always streaming voice assistant…

I recommend the curious to check out DigiD. It's a relatively well-designed SSO for many (if not all?) national and local government services in the Netherlands: personal taxes, bu…

Agreed. We're overdue for a Magna Carta for our new era, lest we be absolutely ruled by the ever-growing myriad of algorithms and models that govern our participation in society an…

I lived in the Netherlands and admired how they offer a SSO service called DigiD for most—if not all—national and municipal services: personal tax, business tax, healthcare, pensio…

I think that while your common sense is correct, the title of just "Architect" is protected legally. To become a licensed Architect, one must have a degree from an NAAB-accredited …

"Important, but not important enough."

I think you're on the right trail. My take is that a highly productive globalized industrial society necessitates high abstraction of work and supply chains. Buying a chair on an e…

> But yeah, it will be a societal cost: one less thing we can trust. Just like "photos don't lie" went out the window with widespread photoshopping, so will trust in personalized v…

I recently received a telemarketing robocall that had a convincingly human voice. It did polite social chitchat quite well. But there were a few tell-tale signs: the bot would neve…

I'm hoping that I can reach that point, as a designer. I find that engineers can enjoy more of such autonomy because their work can better stand on its own, and I'm a little enviou…

I think it’s good that a government and a society resist homogenization by globalization. Cultures need protected niches to develop unique ideas. While there are many good things c…

I think there's a self-selection phenomenon. The inherent danger of American roads select for cyclists who are more reckless than the average person. I strongly believe that when g…

A customer buys into the Amazon Prime bundle. You can get standalone Amazon Prime Video membership — buuut it's about the same price as complete Amazon Prime membership! So you mig…
