The idea behind this is that there is always a B list of design tasks that are not mission-critical and therefore hard to prioritize. Whitespace is here to take on those tasks so t…

Going back to the basics on this one. Has any government presented a cost benefit analysis of all the available options to address this situation? Like most things in life this isn…

A discussion is based on the mutual agreement that we'll try to understand THE POINT on what the other person is trying to say. When someone fails to do that and proceeds to pick a…

Thanks for listing the technical fallacies in the original comment. Now let us humans get on with the actual conversation.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Isn't it obvious that cold showers will make you more resilient to cold? Even if we assume there aren't any health benefits - which would be foolish IMO, being resilient to cold is…

Solution: Sign up to an aggregator service that's say $15 / month and you can watch any streaming service. When the month is up your $15 is distributed between providers depending …

Alan Watts.

Because it's inevitable at a certain scale. The brand has a momentum, even if things start getting worse for customers there isn't an immediate response on a large scale. A certain…

I'm sure you have a lot of good advice in the comments, thought I'd throw in how I like to think about this. Being practical means things that are doable. So it makes sense to limi…

Heya! There seems to be a lack of (affordable) tools for doing quantitive research in the early stages of product development, so figured I'd build something for my fellow UXers, I…

That's exactly right. I'm not contesting laws playing SOME role, but in the grand scheme of things they don't uphold norms.

The idea that we can mandate people telling the truth is laughable. The reason it seems to work in Denmark is probably because honesty is a social norm there. Secondly, there is no…

Who is disputing that there are clearly worse alternatives? Pick almost any part of history. You're talking about alternatives to the status-quo. Sure, there's lots to be improved,…

Mindfulness is being aware of what goes on in your mind. How can anyone argue that it's a BAD? How is staying blind to what you're actually thinking good in any way? All it does is…

The article has obviously nothing to do with mindfulness and is a cheap attack on capitalism from the growing socialist revolution propaganda machine. Anyone who actually knows wha…

Funny to read through the comments going back and forth on definitions of journalism and the details of extradition treaties. Did you not read the article? The convoluted legal lan…

Lots of good points made, I'll add mine. Flash got me started in web design as a kid and put me on a path to earning a good living. Lots of things changed since then but I want to …

I agree with you, but what I mean is people will be more inclined to use software that looks good - more broadly good UI/UX and I don't mean gimmicks. That's just how it is.

A better word is probably "polished". I agree that Windows is not the prettiest thing to look at, but it's definitely polished.

Agreed, people ultimately don't want freedom, they want 0% chance of messing things up. I'm including myself btw.

Yea they do look nice, but something seems to be missing or just feels off to me.

You're right, that's just how people work. I do think there is an opportunity nowadays, because commercial software has gone down a highly disliked path of anti privacy, clickbait,…

Haha nice, enjoyed reading that. I'm a UI/UX Designer myself and was just thinking it comes down to designers contributing to these projects. Especially new people starting out and…
