> Being able to confirm that your specific vote was counted should be considered a basic human right.

No, not if that means that many people cannot safely vote. At one time it was considered a right in many jurisdictions that everyone could know what everyone else's vote was, and votes were public. This enabled the local landlords to ensure that bad things happened to people who didn't vote the "right" way. Many vote-confirmation systems allow others to verify the vote as well, and the historical record makes it clear that this can be very dangerous.

Currently we can't even verify that votes are counted correctly at all. We currently allow people to press buttons and then have an unverifiable machine report what its owners want the vote to be, without any reasonable way to verify it.

It's great to want much more, but let's start with the basics. Having a way to verify that the counted vote is the actual vote is that basic.

I don't know where you live, but 140bhp is a lot for a small-ish car here in UK - it would almost certainly be prohibitively expensive to insure for a young driver for instance. My sister's first car is a VW Polo with a 1.0L 65bhp engine, and that "monster" runs at nearly 4000rpm when doing the legal 70mph(~120km/h) on the motorway. At least it's not a turbo engine so I suppose it's not that bad. It was still a small fortune to insure purely because she's under 25 and had her licence for a year.

> So how is (X) better? For sure Markdown has some cruft but isn't it better to improve Markdown itself than to try to "establish" a completly new format

> PS: See Text with Instructions (.texti) for a (better) Markdown evolved variant / flavor

You have answered yourself: markdown is not a language that can be improved, it's a mashup of several different slightly incompatible implementations, much like HTML in the early web during browser wars.

You could try to create a standard body that defined a homogeneous definition that everybody adheres to and which could be extended with new features.

But by that time you'd be better served off by using asciidoc, which already did that job and which is actually based on Docbook, supporting all the features of that complete standard for book publishing.

On one hand my first guess is: It's just the way it is, because people like new thinks, same as they hate them. Designs and layouts are improving (or changing, if you want to name it more neutreal) all the time. Means: A new "design language" comes up, e.g. the current material design. It looks totally different to the current design-language.

Depending on the impact of the one who creates this new design language, eventually it becomes a new standard. Every website (or in general every UI) not implementing this new design language suddenly looks different. After a period of time, and after more and more UI's are implementing this new design language, this difference is simple being perceived as out-dated.

And that's the point when the designer decides to re-build it. And somewhen in the future, you cannot resist, because all those libraries are based on this new design.

On the other hand I assume, sometimes new features just requires new designs - form follows function. A growing page could require a search form or sub-menus and then you need to think about a re-design.

Summarizing: It's just a matter of time. Try to create and distribute one of those old MS-DOS apps, those that you are controlling with the keyboard only. Maybe they would still work in some use cases, but could they provide all the features the user needs, would they run on a brand new Windows 10-machine or even a smartphone?

Most PCs couldn’t play Doom either, but they could be extended pretty cheaply with a better graphics card. That is what made the difference on the gaming side. The Amiga was kneecapped by mismanagement of its commercial side, including substantial opposition to third-party add-ons at a time when the PC side had standardized and unleashed the taiwanese.

In the pro market, Commodore didn’t even know how to play - they treated their machines like toys. Despite this, for a period, if you wanted to make music you bought Atari, if you wanted to do publishing you bought Apple, but if you wanted to do TV and FX you bought Amiga.

Piracy was really, really not a factor at all.
This is assuming being gay is purely sexual, which, despite being called a sexual orientation, is misguided. There is more to attraction than sex, such as who you imagine you could be in a relationship with, who you develop feelings for, and who you love. In other words, while one may be aroused by certain sexual activities (kinks), no one develops a crush on someone because of a specific sexual activity.

Being gay isn't a kink, just as being straight isn't.

Straight people continued relationships despite being outlawed, which is the entire premise of Romeo and Juliet. Would you call Romeo and Juliet's relationship a kink?
I run a development agency, and on a few occasions, we've had clients ask us to build features similar to what you've outlined above. One of those clients had a pretty thorough specification document that outlined how this behavior should work.

When you open the listing, it should wait a few seconds and then show you a number between 8 and 20 of people who are actively looking at this listing. If it was night-time, it shouldn't really be that much, so let's put in a number between 2 and 8.

This was of course all fake since the platform didn't launch yet. There was also a lot of other "building fake anxiety" tactics, but this one and all other got buried way in the backlog and never actually implemented thankfully.

I'm not saying that Booking.com is doing this, but I definitely hate this pattern.

All of my sub-$30 digital quartz watches are still working and are within a few seconds of the current time around 10 years after being purchased and set. A mechanical watch would likely need much more maintenance in that period, perhaps even to keep it running.

I still have an automatic mechanical watch, for what it's worth, and in theory it should last longer when maintained but will likely cost far more every year than one of my digital quartz watches would cost to replace even every few years.
> There's really no point in building a car that can go above 150km/h.

Even if you're "only" going to be driving at 160-180 km/h (as is common e.g. on the German autobahn) you want to be in a car that can do 220-240 km/h. You don't want to be 100% maxing the car out at your cruising speed.
You can also, as a scientist, use both general relativity and quantum mechanics. They are also different concerns dealing with different things. They still conflict. At least one of them is, and possibly both are, wrong.

There is crossover in the Venn diagrams of religion and science. History has shown that as scientific knowledge increases, the area that religion has previously laid claim to decreases.

They definitely, and historically, conflict until you're left with religion laying claim to the area that is un-provable, and therefore, un-falsifiable. This is the root of the "god-of-the-gaps" fallacy, and seems to be usually only met with the "fine-tuned-universe" theory, which is, if you think about it, a circular argument at best, and self defeating at worst.

One thing I don't understand is why we are calling these patterns _dark_ rather than _manipulative_, or even just calling it straight up manipulation?

I feel like manipulation has a clear meaning for a lot of people, which I would define as attempts at making you do things against your best interest. This definitely applies to booking.com's multiple practices of creating artificial urgency, various website's "opt-in" to their tracker cookie policy, etc. I don't believe it "weakens" the meaning of manipulation as a term. The appropriate red flags should be raised when hearing about it.

To me, the term "dark pattern" itself seems like a dark pattern, intended to obfuscate what is really meant to those unfamiliar with internet lingo. But, at least the dot org -is-was still available.

I've always believed it should be the responsibility of the consumer (perhaps with the aid of client libraries) to properly handle the refresh lifecycle.

Another point on attraction. Ideally you'd be attracted to a person that has the best 'genetic' fitness - ie ability to succeed. That's why things like symmetry are attractive ( a sign that development processes ran smoothly ).

However when it comes to things like predicting which body form will be most successful there isn't a single one as it depends on the environment. ie massive breasts and wide hips might be good for child rearing, but not very good for running. On the other hand in some situations a very large muscled man might be good - but not in a situation were food becomes scarce, or you need to be able to float.

ie there's isn't one form that fit's all niches - and so you'd expect there to be variation in body shape attraction as well.

So even putting aside the whole men/women different sexual attraction factors, even within one 'form' there will be significant variation.
Right but how much of those operating costs go away if you don’t have to charge?

And let’s say you scope this only to buses (which are used less by commuters, and have real impacts on the environment)

What percentage of operating costs are paid for with fares has basically nothing to do with what percentage should be paid for with fares. If paying 100% with taxes results in lower costs per rider because you don't have to pay for fare collection costs and higher use of public transport because there is less friction (which benefits even those who don't use it via lower traffic and pollution etc.), why shouldn't we do that instead?

>Free public transports just mean that you pay it through another way, and most likely mean that you remove the "use tax", thus increasing the contribution from people who don't actually use public transports.

Absolutely, and that is in fact their political stance. They believe that there should be no use tax on public transport and that people who don't use it should still be responsible for financing it. Their reasoning is probably based on the assertion that public transport causes positive externalities even for non-users, and that the resulting benefit to society as a whole outweighs the purported unfairness against individuals. You may or may not agree, it may or may not be a good policy, but it is a legitimate political stance.

A separate issue is whether guerrilla tactics/direct actions such as these can be justified to attain a political goal in a liberal democracy, and yet another debate is whether these methods are even tactically useful in getting closer to their stated goal.
