Basically: research, hypothesize, prototype, test, iterate, deliver. It's not new, but here we are with new terminology. It is good because if you're a design firm you sometimes need an HBR-approved buzzword to get your client, th

Neil Postman has a lot to say on this topic, which he terms the "news of the day" throughout Amusing Ourselves to Death. For example: "This idea — that there is a content called “the news of the day” — was entirely created by

The colors are great, really comfortable contrast level, and the typeface is easy to read. Fairly tight information density, but low-density layouts are a common complaint with the target audience so I think it strikes a good balance. My co

You have shared two sources of broad, country-level data. The study tracked localized effects on individuals. These are not necessarily in contradiction! Though whatever you're inferring with your broad correlation (air pollution has n

Nixon _reluctantly_ created the EPA as a response to one of the only periods of sustained popular environmentalism in American history. I'm unsure why this gets bandied about as a feather in Nixon's cap. Just as a factual matter,

YouTube is not a clear pass-through from one's truly held interests to the computer screen. I am not interested in fake news, Peppa the Pig, superhero movies, Logan Paul, Lil Durk, Time Magazine, and yet, loading up the YouTube home pa

Despite a few quibbles (especially re: the prominence of browser settings menus), following these recommendations would be a great help. The clock bar at the top of the screen in GNOME 3 is a weird half measure, and its uselessness drives i

It's a fine idea that public money will not be spent, but you don't have to look very far to find an example of the city and a development partner breaking the same promise (Obama Presidential Center: http://www.chicago

You have had good financial planning habits in your family for two generations. That is in some sense "training" that many first-world poor people don't get.

My point is that whether a belief is popular, or whether you think a belief is common sensical has no bearing on the truth value, social value, rationality, or perspicacity of that belief. I don't think the GP is slandering the GGP, I

You know you have a weak point when you rely on "my interlocutor has an unpopular opinion" and "my interlocutor just lacks common sense" as means of argument.

It is possible to include minority groups in a community without pandering or using reductive caricatures. It can be difficult if the community has little familiarity with the actual experiences of those minority groups. In that case, it wo

I have traveled a lot from Chicago to Iowa City, which has no rail service, via both Megabus and a Greyhound subsidiary. Don't know that I would call it a rural route. Or rather, I don't think it's so rural as to be invisible
