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't black and white, so where is the analysis of the pro

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 apart minutia I consider that a waste of time - quite in

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 a benefit in itself. If you're waiting for s

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 on how much you watched each of them.

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 quality is important for the "true" adv

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 limit whatever you do to that, otherwise you'll b

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, Information Architects and Product people. Currently in

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 absolute, objective truth and there never will be. The best

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, that's not what the disagreement is. The dis

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 make us a reactionary creature, which is exactly

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 what mindfulness is can immediately see that they're build

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 language and system are used to explain away the reality that t

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 hear your thoughts on one specifically. It used to be c

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, optimize for addiction. Now seems to be the time

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 needing a portfolio, seems like a win - win for e

I mean, hard to disagree even if I wanted to. Seems to me that free software community is lacking UI/UX Designers and so looks and feels considerably less "cool" than commercial counterparts. What do you think?

How about you provide sources if you disagree? Having a better chance of defending yourself if you're armed stands to reason. Since when is that controversial? Isn't that evident to everyone?

Is it really absurd? What is absurd about you having the right to protect yourself? You seem to be saying "I can't protect myself anyway, so let's not allow anyone else to try either." Disarming is a solution. If everyon

They would be infinitely better off. I don't understand this sentiment of "even with guns it's not gonna work so let's just roll over and take it". If you personally don't think you'll be better off that&#

You seem to be saying because it wouldn't work - why would we allow it? It's your right to defend yourself. Whether it works or not has nothing to do with it.

Can anyone explain to me how the article connected: being white was “very” or “extremely important” to their identity expressed strong feelings of white solidarity believed whites suffered a meaningful amount of discrimination with p
