The world is an inherently unfair place so it's dubious that laws that attempt to regulate it should be fair.
While running a UX/UI design studio for B2B SaaS companies for 10+ years - I’ve seen the UX space evolve into a cult like crowd of designers with too many “gurus” and design research methodologies. Really, all you have to do is 2 things:

# talk to your users.

# look at your data/analytics

It’s really not rocket science. These two metrics will take you minutes to find UX problems and opportunities in your product. Then, try to solve them with the least amount of design possible.

Repeat.

I think that’d be a wonderful thing if all laws had a natural sunset clause and were forced to be renewed to see if they confirm to the standards of the current society.

Private lewdness was one of the charges. Even the prosecutor said that it was all a bit over the top but he had these laws as tools so he used them.
I agree that the generalisation probably does not work.

However, considering a lot of people like fiction in most their other forms, except books, we have to be careful not to overcompensate in the other direction. From the 99% person you know that don't like reading, I'm convinced a significant number would actually love it, if introduced to it properly.

Like, I agree that a lot people will never get the runner high from cycling. But the crowd that gets it from hitting the gym should be prime material to convert to cycling.

I blame school. I never got any love of sport from PE. I didn't get the love of reading from reading assignments either (), but society is telling me that not loving sport is weird so I tried again, while not loving reading is expected.

() Up until the day a teacher just had a list that wasn't just all classic and you were not expected to use the reading as a basis for a disertation on some historical or social quirk, or extract profound philosophical meaning about the human nature. I picked a book with a story I liked, first time ever since childhood.
What about older versions? Does this mean that older versions of firefox can never be used with addons (even matching older versions) anymore?
I think the most interesting things to create are often the work of groups of people who all have very different areas of expertise. Everybody's working together towards the same final product, but everyone has their own mental model of how that process works, and no one person can really see the full picture (like the story about the blind men and the elephant).

I've worked in different sorts of crossfunctional teams over the years at different companies in different industries- sometimes the other people are designers, or scientists, or people from other engineering disciplines who aren't down in the weeds like I am on the software side of things. Or sometimes they're the customers/clients/whatever, and are making specifications in a technical vacuum.

I think it's 100% pure human nature to always assume that one's own piece is the most complicated or meaningful part of a project, whereas other people's roles are more straightforward implementation details. I don't think it's from selfishness or conceit, rather it's plain old cognitive bias that we're all susceptible to. You know much more about all the stuff that needs to be done in your part of the system, and are painfully aware of the risks and challenges. You generally don't know nearly as much about the tasks other people are doing in other layers or fields, and from the outside looking in, it seems like everything is always more simple and straightforward than it actually is.

Even people like managers or designers who generally aren't concerned with minute technical details are susceptible to this type of cognitive bias. They play much more creative roles, in which they're literally deciding what the final thing is going to be, but with little or no guidance for how it should be done. That's up to the worker elves who have to assemble the component parts into the desired gizmo. Since the worker elves' reason for employment is assembling parts into gizmos, the people playing more purely creative roles always face a moral hazard of assuming that problems assembling their visions are due to failings of the worker elves themselves, rather than inherent weaknesses in the vision.
SirixDB – An Evolutionary, Temporal NoSQL Storage System
It is a long standing issue with Firefox. I reported it and was pointed here to watch for updates:

It makes sense to rush new medical devices and drugs to market when there's no better option. For example the Reagan FDA removed the review process for new AIDs drugs during the 1980s epidemic. But the FDA should have scrutinized vaginal mesh more closely given that there are already so many effective forms of birth control.

People also need to remember that you can't pick and choose regulations. I feel like many readers of this article will be rightfully appalled, but conversely also want to see increased medical use of psychedelics and marijuana despite a similar lack of research on long-term effects.
Maybe it's just bullsh!t. Like 94.3% of content in the comments here.

At least the disclaimer hints at that, whereas most do not.

As author of the original "pessimistic" comment, I want to say that I agree 100% with you. Mozilla is indeed the most important free software project today. Thus, I am very sad and pessimistic when they exhibit subpar behavior such as this.
Probably the "normal distribution" of pricing/purchasing didn't apply 500 years ago either, in pre-proto-capitalist Europe or anywhere else.

This is great - UI focussed more than UX, but very useful tips for developers - https://refactoringui.com
What really bothers me about this is a) The editorial board, when writing such an important piece, is not identified on the actual article other than 'the editorial board'. Sure you can find out who is on the board but you don't know what parts they played in the write up. I hate this convention.

b) Chain of information custody issue. They cite this organization with a link to the page but there is nothing easily apparent on that page that would lead you to know how legit the actual underlying data (which they are quoting) is. At least on a quick check.

https://www.icij.org/investigations/implant-files/

It's almost as if it's a 'well we are the NY Times the paper of record so you can trust that we have thoroughly vetted all of this as well as how the actual data was compiled'.

This is not to say there isn't an issue. But it's easy for a writer to sit back and take pot shots (and find something to support that pot shot) w/o the scope of the problem other than 'and big number of people are impacted'.

This is the definition of a police state, with law enforcement officers empowering themselves and demanding to go through your personal papers, how dehumanizing is this?

What is the difference between this and the stasi or the police of any totalitarian state demanding to go through your personal papers? There is a huge difference between physically checking your laptop or phone and demanding to go through its contents and your personal data and thoughts. This is hugely invasive and dehumanizing and is the definition of totalitarianism. The word democracy by definition cannot include this.

Even more disturbing is the cognitive dissonance of those who have complete moral clarity when condemning police state tactics in some third country and then stretching credulity to normalize the exact same thing when done by their own governments or 'democracies'. The is the dangerous road to totalitarianism where values are not defined by actions but actors.

But it does seem to me that rentals in Manhattan have gotten a lot less affordable since 1980. (Manhattan in the 80s was not a particularly posh place, at least not throughout. There was probably more divergence in rents between neighborhoods in the 80s than now). It would take some more specific investigation than national median wages to investigate that. (Note, though, the median income in Manhattan specifically may have outpaced inflation as lower-earners get priced out).

But, as far as inflation and wages, yeah, inflation year after year means salaries in the 80s seem like very low numbers to us now.

I have been wanting to do this, as I set up the Chase email notifications, but never got motivated to tackle what you used zapier for.

One thing that it seems you could do is use Google sheets for your constants vs coded in the repo. That way if you spend from somewhere new, you can do add that category on the fly by updating your sheet.
Agreed, people are very hung up on the mind/body problem. It's a pretty interesting philosophical question, but not that relevant to helping truly sick people get better.
I would love to hear how most garages operate. It seems like most don't stock more than basic commodity parts anymore (e.g. oil filters, belts, pads, filters) but have means to get parts within hours worst case.

Ah, I think this is a bit simplistic, as it leaves out testing, which is critically important.

Too many UX people don't follow or even know what a proper user-centered design process looks like. Talking to users and looking at data is a lot of it. Testing is another critical component.

The other big part is to be methodical with how you do ideation, design, and prototyping.
There are various linguistic constructions you can use for plausible deniability (e.g. "at home I can just pay a fee to get into a different priority group: do you have the same system here? I think I have enough cash to cover it.")

I actually once did pay a speeding ticket to an arresting officer (in Montana or Wyoming or one of the Dakotas IIRC -- it was decades ago) an it was very clear how the officer handled it that he was not pocketing the money (e.g. he held an envelope I placed the check into, I licked and sealed it, and his boy never came in contact with my check, though cash was also an option).
You sound like Elon Musk (at his worst).

Software engineers follow for the same reason as footballers or doctors.

In football, there's only a market for the best. Nobody likes a loser.

It's the same in health. There's no market for mediocre or bad doctors.

Similarly, there's not really a market for software that doesn't work. Writing novel software that solves real problems isn't yet trivial. So there's not a huge market for bad software engineers. And there isn't yet a big enough supply of good ones to meet demand.

See why Google doesn't just lower their bar to hire more candidates. It wouldn't do them any good.
Mozilla pushed a hotfix yesterday but it only worked on certain builds of Firefox, and only for users which had the user studies setting activated. Today's update should be a more permanent fix.
Can you describe what you mean by indirectly?
This is a reference to the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_of_Caerbannog) in the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail, in case you're unfamiliar with this very well-known meme. It's a hilarious scene (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmu5sRIizdw).

Wikipedia entry states "The idea for the rabbit in the movie was taken from the façade of the cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris. This illustrates the weakness of cowardice by showing a knight fleeing from a rabbit."

I watched the movie with my son (11) a few weeks ago, and was wondering if he'd enjoy the sometimes dry humor: he loved it, esp. the questioning at the Bridge of Death.
I just disbaled the checksignatute flag yesterday and that solved it. It's not like I install add-ons all the time.
Encrypt the data (probably easiest way is to use encrypted 7z archive), memorize the password, upload the encrypted data into any cloud storage (e.g. Google Drive) and don't care about disclosing anything on your devices.
I recommend looking at TiDB for anyone using a cluster. I still not migrate to it, but from my tests, things are looking great.

Are you suggesting that films can be classified as either “union” or “amateur”? Star Wars is an amateur film then. And saying “amateur porno” is redundant.
I've always preferred having a dedicated desktop that acts as a personal server and then a small cheap laptop that I use to remotely access it.

While this preference is mostly driven by capitalizing on the performance/price/size difference between desktops and laptops, it has lots of advantages when it comes to these situations.

My Dell XPS 13 only has 128GB of storage so none of the data exists solely on that device; it acts mostly as a dumb terminal that I use to SSH to my desktop. I suppose upon booting the machine they could request SSH key passwords and then search my desktop but this seems unlikely.

While most of the issues with these border searches are privacy/ideology based. These types of security theatre can easily be circumvented.

Of course, just using Linux may get you detained for a bit which makes it all moot. Maybe having a business card saying I'm a systems administrator (which is true) would make Linux an easy explanation.

If these searches increase and become normal, I think it's only a matter of time before Apple implements a cloud based 'data refuge' that would allow users to temporarily offload encrypted sensitive data to the cloud while crossing borders and traveling to countries with weak or no privacy laws.
The past two years with Firefox have made me gradually dislike Chrome less. Yesterday, I pulled the plug and switched to Vivaldi completely.

I wouldn't be surprised if Firefox 75-or-so is based on Chrome anyway.
> It's a world where a 10-20% can afford the "whatever" (e.g. best phone, live in NY/Bay area, university degree, etc) and the rest have to scrap by and increasingly pinch pennies (while still doing some desperate wealth-signalling purchases, like poor urban blacks that buy $200 sneakers to feel like they have something nice and can participate in the kind of society they see in ads).

I don't see why "poor urban blacks" buying $200 sneakers is a "desperate wealth-singalling purchase". Maybe they just like them. I don't see how its any different that the 10-20% buying the "best phone" when it provides no greater utility than a cheaper model.

> And living in NY or the Bay are was still very affordable (to the point that both areas had large artistic / bohemian communities living there, and not of the latte sipping urban wealth variety, but the penny pinching / stick it to the man / junky variety).

I would think as neighborhoods become safer and more gentrified, the number of people that want to live there increases and naturally the price to live there increases as well. Comparing crime ridden NYC from 50 years ago to NYC today makes no sense.
That's not even vaguely true. I don't get the supposed dichotomy between giant $1000+ slabs of glass and plastic junk.

A few years ago, a friend gave me his old mid-level Samsung phone for free. It was a piece of garbage, and I hated using it, but I put up with it until it died. Afterwards, I looked around for something decent that wasn't too expensive, and settled on a refurbished iPhone SE. It cost a couple hundred dollars, and still works just fine. It doesn't have all of the latest bells and whistles, but it's good enough, and actually fits in my pocket.

Selective enforcement may or may not be a miscarriage of justice. Here, you have a law where changing standards of morality may have rendered the full scope of the law obsolete. But there is conduct within the scope of the law that the community still considers egregious. I don’t think it is “unfair” to enforce the law against that conduct, but not enforce it against other conduct the community no longer considers wrongful.
Here's an even shorter one:

“UX” should go away. What everyone calls UX is just proper UI design. Too often the term “UX” is put on this pedestal. It’s thought of as more important or cerebral than visual design. The problem with that thinking is that UX _is_ very obviously visual. Those that try to distance UX and visual UI design often have terrible aesthetic taste and lack any creative skill.

Which should give you some indication why the design industry is a shell of its former self. The homogeneous nature of modern web products is concerning, but it makes sense unfortunately.
This is not true: "The human brain is incredibly plastic and adaptable. Unless the interface is truly absurd, most people can get used to it and never give it a second thought again."

I've interviewed and observed enough users to know this is not true. There are a lot of interfaces that are suffer from issues with discoverability and understanding, and even when a user figures this stuff out one time (or is showed it), the interface is not memorable.

I put together a list of guidelines for thoughtful product design. Most products don't meet all of these. Really good design is hard work: https://uxdesign.cc/guidelines-for-thoughtful-product-design...

One huge mistake you are making is that you are a power user. You probably use computers more than most people and understand interfaces and paradigms better than most people. I implore you to actually observe real users using real products.
