Viewing profile — incongruity

Yep. Part of me is terrified every time I go to sleep -- but the sleepiness wins.

Worse, still, unless the current me blinks out of existence, "old me" will still be around - unless we can replace neurons in-place with computational analogs, the original me is d…

“All models are wrong, but some are useful” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_models_are_wrong

How is that all that damaging? I’m sure those batteries are recycled in basically all cases and yes, I’d expect battery replacement does indeed forestall replacement for many phone…

So, in other words, perhaps what we have is a necessary component but not wholly sufficient on its own?

Enshittification is such a cruel thing. Arstechnica was a quality site at one point… not to say it has completely lost its value, but it’s sad to see the its decline, nonetheless.

Laws. We need the force of law protecting us when entire industries work against the public good.

We have familial ALS in our family. I lost my grandfather, two aunts, and uncle and a number of more distantly related family members to this disease. Thank you for posting this ar…

That’s far from a unique value prop for self-checkout lanes. It’s also a hard sell at stores that have or had ~8+ lanes but only two are open… sure, the self checkout is the only s…

The problem with most self checkouts is that the value prop for the stores seem obvious - lower wages - but the value for consumer is not obvious in most cases - because in most ca…

It’s so severe that even if they improved the terms, nobody would use them because US debit cards' reputation is tainted. Say what now? “According to the 2019 Federal Reserve Payme…

I wish I could just buy the case (and have it work with my existing pros)

So, that kills a small part of me to hear - but also, I think it reflects this larger pattern of the UI/UX world’s seeming need to not just reinvent the wheel but large chunks of t…

I’d be amazed if one or more of the large EMR vendors wasn’t already developing some sort of diagnostic co-pilot. They along with insurers have unique access to critical data for s…

As someone who works as a service designer and design strategist, I agree, 100%. I’ve seen a general decline in rigor in the field. Many are back to making things “pretty” with poo…

Give us a few years? Sadly…

The impact humanity has had on the planet is undeniable. Further, we really are the apex predator globally and we have caused the extinction of numerous species. By most measures i…

FWIW, I’ve always seen it best described as push vs. pull. You’ve expanded the idea a bit but I think it’s still a good distinction and useful for what you’re getting at.

This! Eye tracking is slow and not good - but does that just mean we need to “faster horse” it or is there another option for bridging the communication gap for people with ALS and…

It was, arguably, part of the beginning of the end. Most of the most harmful strategies have consultants in their roots.

I find it really hard to deny that platform lock-in is a powerful anti-competitive and anti-consumer force - I think you’re off base in denying its impacts and the merits of addres…

Perhaps a foolish question but does “simulation” necessarily imply calculation or is that just an extension of our current evolution of computing technology as an analogy for what …

The biggest question I see is insurance coverage. I could imagine insurers moving to not cover accidents during the use of aftermarket systems like this in the same way they won’t …

The funny part there is the level of intellectual laziness in that answer itself. It’d be nice in some ways if it were that easy, wouldn’t it? Poverty would be easily ignored becau…
