Agreed. They said that about radio. They said that about TV. They said that about computers. They said that about dumbphones. They said that about smartphones. They're now saying that about apps.

Following the Grenfell disaster in London, flats up and down the country have been valued at £0 and are thus unmortgagable due to their use of cladding material that no longer is deemed safe. https://www.theguardian.com/mone

A few of the consumer broker apps have a 'practice mode' with a few tens of thousand of virtual practice cash to use with the price reacting to real market data - you could do this in real time!

Well our UK tax bands are marginal tax rates. So you pay zero on the first £12,570 of earnings. Basic rate of 20% from £12,571 to £50,270 of earnings. And then 40% on £50,271 onwards. (We have additional rate over £150,000 of 45%). It'

You also need the rest of the machine to put it in. Can't just buy a gpu and plug it into a wall outlet.

It probably is true but as with all cost/currency comparisons you can't really look at the raw pre-tax figures in isolation to know if someone has more buying power doing the same job in one country or another. Everything from the

You're looking at the solution. Not validating the problem. Think about the problem horses/cars were solving. It's clear people 'wanted' that problem being solved just by how prevalent horse-as-utility were.

I've often said: "I see your [bet] and raise you [x]" - would that be accepted?

This might work for you, but from my outside perspective that seems incredibly dystopian and depressing. When do you see friends? When do you exercise? When do you go out to eat? Watch a film? Play video games? Seems like that entire routin

Do you have a link to that tank/weather study? I've never heard of it, sounds really interesting!

I've been lucky enough to work for two 'fairly progressive' organisations in a row (by UK standards in terms of work/life balance, working from home, flexi time, general attitudes around 'how to do good work' (

I'm not sure, I'd never 'Saints is winning'. 'Saints are winning' sounds correct, though. Even 'Arsenal is winning' sounds a bit wrong. Whos winning? Arsenal are (team) Whos winning? Ronnie O'Sul

One is erosion in progress, the other has eroded fully. Both great examples of trademark erosion, tbh.

Volume adjustment is actually a great example of why I hate the touchbar. - I can't adjust the volume without looking at it. Because the touchbar is flat with no haptic feedback when I land on a button, it's hard to remember the e

This sounds incredible. I'm more annoyed I've never thought to do this myself.

I guess in reality, the physicality of the art plays a big part of how you experience and appreciate these types of pieces. The textures and subtle tones, the method of craft, the interplay between mixed media, the energy (or lack of), the

I think the GP made a great point but missed a key detail - This attitude is reflected in their homes, also. (I'm talking about sub-urban or rural, not metropolitan) They tend to build their homes to last around 20-30 years, then they&

> You have to pay to rewind stuff apparently This is true. It is also the worst piece of hostile-UX I've ever seen. I'd love to have seen the Product Designer and Product Manager tie this one back to revenue forecasts. Who know

The way I took it - If your cross functional team (Product, UX/Design, Eng) are aligned, it doesn't matter if you build the wrong thing initially, because you'll follow a good agile and/or lean process to validate early

That's such a narrow view on what value people can offer you, it saddens me.

Agreed - whether it should be done daily or not is a decision based on a wide number of inputs. When it's work best anecdotally, is when we hold regular retrospectives ON our agile ways of working. EG: Is the standup working for us? Wh

I worked briefly with a startup who's idea was to create an index of your entire corporate data (PDFs, powerpoints, docs, etc) and their product would intelligently serve up documents as you typed. So for example, if you would pen an e

It's a good question - and the simple answer is - Usability and interaction design is most certainly part of UX. However, the skills needed to be a competent visual designer match (in terms of difficulty, time to execute, etc) that of
