I agree that's reasonable. But does the world you're thinking of have a law that forces that to be the case?

Let's have consumer laws but have the right ones. A company shouldn't have the right to hurt me, for example.

I wouldn't argue for no regulation. I don't see the regulatory problems though as similar. Isn't one health and the other... monopoly? Expensive laptops?

Are you referring specifically to agentic engineering with locally hosted models?

Does anyone have suggestions for when I need to use bearer auth and the token is super long? With curl I end up finding the command becomes hard to read, even taking advantage of backslashes. With Postman, it tidily hides the token out of t

Flat doesn't seem best to you? Next best for me would be a symmetrical bump. But the asymmetrical bump (I think) all iPhones have seems the worst of all alternatives. This results in that bad restaurant table wobble feeling.

The UX designer, Jenson, cites interesting concepts like 1+1=3 and cognitive load. But forgets an even more basic concept: design for the common case. The common case is the driver being the owner. Tesla has real world data about how many t

Does a business have to be widely deployed or profitable to be real? The public and private capital markets say "no". If you were to ignore any business that isn't widely available you'd miss the beginning of both Apple

By “sit on” do you mean “keep using” or “avoid”?

Cool site! You might consider deleting the cookie notice? I run a similar site (dateful.com) and I promise the EU regulators don't come after sites like ours. :)

One of the most surprising things about getting an EV four months ago has been how little range matters. Since you always leave home with a full tank and it’s rare to drive more than 150 miles in a typical day any range over that is money I

Do you have or have you considered a car where the glovebox opens via touchscreen control? And if so, does this car have alternate storage, i.e in the center console?

I'm not sure I'm understanding you when you say "definitively". Do you mean if I can't be 100% sure about my answer? The answer to your question is: the same way you determine when it's safe to cross the road o

I think this is one place where this debate goes off the rails. People don't switch cars frequently and haven't experienced or studied deeply both sets of interfaces. I completely understand why because I was the same. I only rece

I can tell we're going to disagree but I love the clean look of the dashboard. As a result of Tesla's product decision I've moved anything I use on a regular basis to the two large consoles. They put the glovebox button at th

I love Hey ( https://hey.com ) for its "screener" feature. It supports custom domains but not Gmail migration. The screener keeps new senders out of your inbox. A rich set of keyboard shortcuts helps triage new senders i

Most product decisions represent a tradeoff. The tradeoff the author doesn't mention is one of a clean look versus ease of use. The author also doesn't mention how frequently they actually open their glovebox. From my personal exp

Why... why whoever made this page, would you choose to display a feedback modal right as first time visitors view your page? If collecting feedback is the most important thing you want someone to do make it front and center page content. An

I had the same problem until I discovered the “Filter Unknown Senders” setting that appears about 80% of the way down the settings screen.
