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. But sometimes UX arises from the tight marriage of des

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 probably not very relevant for assessing people for the

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 giver cannot know the seeker's situation completely

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 and appreciate the little details in our world. The author has

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, less important to others. This depends on which animals people

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 happened in busy areas in the SF Bay Area. I guess that the bys

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 the thief. The second time it got stolen, I couldn&#x27

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 devices. I think that privacy should be a greater public co

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, business taxes, municipal taxes, trash and water bills, h

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 and economy.

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, pension, water, garbage, police and many other service portals. Ye

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 program, complete 3,740 hours under the guidance o

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-commerce site has many layers, each with its own subla

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 never interrupt or overlap my talking. It would always wait unti

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 envious of that.

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 coming from so many cultures around the world slowly convergi

That still sounds technically out of reach for most non-technical people, so you’ll just end up with dating nodes filled with (mostly male) techies.

I expect an outcome similar to what happened between the European Commission and Booking.com. Booking.com pioneered a lot of e-commerce dark patterns like “X units left” and “Y people viewed this today”. The EC pushed Booking.com to change
