Ask HN: What are considered “Best in Class UX design” for websites?
Or what are the best UX you’ve done or seen around? I’m looking for a variety of use cases, from small business with very low traffic all the way to the big ones.

If you can point it out what you think they got it right then better yet.

> I am not looking for websites that teach or talk about UX design.

Much appreciate your insights.
What I want is a way to collect heart rate and activity, ideally without a display, as I'd like to continue wearing my nice Swiss automatic watch. This device should stream all the information into the iOS health app, I explicitly do not want to store it off-device on some vendors cloud I have no idea if they are long-term trustworthy.

The closest I came to it was something from Garmin, rather small but with a display. I stopped using it as it became apparent that their data privacy policy was awful, I either could consent to everything or their app would basically be useless. This is over 1 ago, they might have changed the policies, don't know.

I have surrendered to the market now and got an Apple watch. It at least ensures that the data is not spread to additional companies, as apple has the data anyway. It's a nice product, but honestly mostly a gimmick for me.
Parsec: Open-Source Platform Agnostic Security Layer
Fast charging depends on the compatibility with certain standards (USB-PD or Qualcomm Quickcharge). If it can't communicate that it resorts to the default, which is 5v/0.9A or 4.5W.

So you would need compatible cables to make fast charging work, and then it will only fast charge up to 80% and then slow down.

USB-PD is the standard for power delivery and Apple (and Google) both rely on that, so if it's USB-PD compatible it'll support the quickest charging it can handle.

Something that helped me with my insomnia was to fix my waking schedule.

I rigged up a low power beside light on a timer, a radio alarm clock and an alarm clock. I set each to come on about 5 minutes after the one before, with the radio tuned to BBC Radio 4 which is a speech station. That made my waking up routine much more gentle, I felt better when I woke up, and subsequently seemed to sleep better.

Now I have one of those Philips Lumi wake up lights/radios which does the same kind of thing.

People make the mistake of just focusing on going to sleep, and not enough on the fact that sleep is just one part of a whole daily cycle, and looking at the whole day, at things like what and when you eat/drink, can really help. Recently I've been eating too late in the evening and it's been screwing up my routines.
The short answer would be money and politics. But to be fair keep in mind that compared to the US Israel's public healthcare is very subsidized and may be better for the average person. (Israel has less variance in the level of care, US may put people at risk by limiting access to hospitals)
Everything has economic tradeoffs, triage is needed, but a big problem seems to be a deep set belief that the maintenance you can achieve in x time/budget won't actually pay for itself in fewer issues coming at you later that amount to not paying a cost > x to address. Or similarly is not great enough or frequent enough to create a feedback loop for compounded savings.

I don't want to discount just building things better to begin with though. For all the buggy stuff out there limping along there's also plenty of stuff that simply doesn't need maintenance, and another lot of stuff that only needs trivial maintenance.
With "getting the hell out of here" do you mean humanity in general or you personally. If you personally: Do you really think public spacetravel will advance that much in our lifetimes?

Personally I hope so, but I also doubt it will happen.
Thanks - I can see that. I am guessing that the smaller vocabulary is particularly useful in analogue systems.
Perhaps W3W is viewed positively for (digital) cellular connections but might be inappropriate for other radio technology.

Yep, I was a chronic insomniac. During the worst period (about 15-18yo) I had a few times where I'd start seeing things, getting paranoid or just generally really disordered thought pattern.

If you generally sleep well, then the occasional period of 48 hours of wakefulness is probably fine, but chronic lack of sleep (whatever that constitutes for you) can really mess with your brain.

"Okay, the climate is burning .. but can we please calm down and stop throwing water on the guys starting the fires .." - doesn't seem like a very productive response.

I think, also, you have to temper your hatred of Greta for being an uppity pre-teen, with the realization that Oil companies have known about the climate problem since the 70's and have actively worked to obfuscate the issue in order to protect their yearly profits. For DECADES.

Without taking that into account, any discussion over the 'appropriate behaviour of Greta' is certainly ingenuous, if not downright specious...

So the unintended consequence of ballistic missile defence (which could probably do very little to stop an all out Russian attack) is that your opponent creates even worse weapons that are impervious to ballistic missile defence.

Typically for "logic" in such matter the arguments used by both sides make complete sense but the result is insanity.
One reason is that it creates a whole new set of challenges that require innovation to overcome. Those innovations then have secondary benefits that can improve humans down on Earth.

Every time there is a major protest or football (soccer) game in Germany, facebook and twitter and everything else is full of messages regarding major police presence. It's the protesters or fans warning each other, it's the local residents warning each other, oh, and the police itself is often an avid user of facebook and twitter itself warning people to avoid certain areas if there is violence to help regular citizens avoid getting caught up in it.

The vast majority of people do not post or read those messages to coordinate violence against the police, but merely to stay out of the way when police and black block protestors or football hooligans clash.

I live near a football stadium, and there are some violent clashes of drunk hooligans and police after many games, but thankfully usually only on a small scale involving maybe 10-30 people against the police. Nonetheless, I made it a habit to avoid certain area for a couple of hours after a home game.
I haven't been precise enough, sorry. They deny that drastic carbon reductions are needed as a result of climate change. In other words, they deny that climate change is the cause of carbon emissions, which to me is denying climate change.

This might be a longshot given the age of the post, but does anyone have anything to say about OVERsleeping? This is anecdodal but over the years I've internalized how important sleep is and have been able to regularly get 8+ hours of sleep. What I've noticed is that I get more "emotionally" lethargic - level-headed when something should be stressful, which is a good thing, but also very calm and collected when something should produce euphoria.

If anyone has any relatable experiences or links to articles about oversleeping I'd love to read them.

No, listing where the police are is not a crime. Attacking the police is a crime. Inciting to attack the police is probably a crime too in most jurisdictions around the world. Neither the app nor the app makers attacked police nor endorsed let alone incited attacking the police.
I saw Ad Astra as a story told with a backdrop of a near-future humanity that has established permanent settlements on multiple terrestrial bodies. At the time of your comment, I had not yet seen the movie - I'd only seen the cover poster displaying a well-known space-suit-clad citizen chosen by society throughout the past couple of decades to demonstrate ideas and experiences (Brad Pitt, same with Matt McConaughey). Movie, television, music, and now algorithmic news feed themes are my preferred methods of gauging public sentiment (programmed or natural). The final detail of the end credits says that there were "15,000 jobs created by this film". This verifies the interest and subsequent investment channeled into a theory and demonstration of the interstellar human experience.

Now I am fresh out of the movie theater, and have consumed the media in it's entirety. The first person narration of Roy began the film with this line:

"I always wanted to be an astronaut... at least that's what I told myself."

This seemingly confirmed my theory of "propaganda meant to inspire current generations". But then the protagonist's ailments became apparent post-primate-attack when he is conducting his psychological evaluation. He describes how he is familiar with the rage of the primate. He understands their pain, but unlike them he is able to discard it and carry on, "remain calm" as he says at the beginning (debrief psych eval describing the fall from the antennae). This is the first instance of violence committed by a life-form confined to a metal tube in a vacuum for an undisclosed amount of time (the Norwegian craft was meant for biomedical research, and perhaps the primate aggression was exacerbated by human experimentation).

Then there are the comfort rooms - a solution meant to simulate conditions on Earth so as to soothe the distressed extra-terrestrial-human.

To paraphrase one of the final quotes of the movie, Roy describes the need to "rely on others and share their burdens as they share his". The pain of solitude was not worth the prospect of discovering "other life". He has no children to orphan in the name of relentless exploration ("yes, yes, yes"), as his father did - yet he realizes he is living out a similar life while underwater on Mars sneaking his way onto the Neptune-bound ship...

I grumbled a lot against Maven when my employer at the time decided to throw away our Ant build for Maven, considering that:

- We actually made good use of Ant tasks and macros for having convention over configuration build infrastructure

- Maven was still on 1.0 beta releases, with incomplete support for the plugins we required

However this was more than 10 years ago, and nowadays I am yet to find something that beats Maven eco-system, specially given that I don't suffer from XML allergy, rather it is my favorite configuration format.

I cry a little beat every time I have to wait for Android Gradle builds.

Guess what, the upcoming Android Summit is enjoying yet another Gradle performance improvements talk. They can't get enough of them.

You fail to understand that those children are equal in all of their rights to native children. It's not possible for the state to act as if their forced deportation into hopelessness or early death is already predetermined.

There is extreme reluctance to put children into "special schools" or classes. For one thing, they don't exist. For another, such separation is almost impossible without putting those children at a disadvantage, even if there is no intention to somehow keep them away from natives.

And then that's also the connection to the US situation, where they actually had segregated schools and decided that this is impossible.
Emotet is back from summer break
The point of the article is that a native program that was meant to do one thing (VLC, play videos, though ok the "do one thing" is a bit stretched when it comes to a media player) needs less resources to do that thing (with thing in this case being stream a video) than a web site running inside a browser.

And the reason is basically what you wrote. However the point wasn't why it happens, but to focus on that it happens - ie. native apps matter because they are (or can be) faster.

BTW...

That's why I said Tim Cook should actually spell out what local Hong Kong laws were violated, if any. There actually could be some, but so far I did not see anybody actually pointing out any such laws, neither the Hong Kong government, nor the myriad of journalists covering the story about the app, nor Apple which surely had their in-house counsel and maybe evn external counsel look into this matter.

After that, the next question is if Apple, which even kinda positions itself as the new "Don't be evil" company including fighting some governments e.g. when they get told to subvert their own security tech, should side with such draconian laws or with the app makers.

More context, Musk responded to this somewhat snarky comment from Bridenstine:

Is this a disagreement over semantics?

How do you add value to something? Either through human labour, or raw material inputs, and I would guess many raw materials gain their value entirely from the human labour put in to extracting them.

If you buy an iphone, you are paying someone to mine the raw material, refine it, make it in to chips, make it into a phone, box it, ship it, then paying some marketers to tell you why you need it.

Yes the tiny amounts of gold, and rare earth elements have value, 99% of an iPhones value comes from people's time.
Well the process seems to go through a polytheistic "laws of nature" deity phase with some selection in all the Classical societies. Becoming a more abstract and indirected set of supreme being as society develops. Then progress to monotheism brings us to some supremely powerful "reflection of us". Oh the conceit. :)

On the thunder gods, Thor is most well known, but good grief look at the length of the list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_thunder_gods

The polytheistic phase is a fascinating rabbit hole to descend, and then compare on contrast Ancient Egyptian with Greek, or Roman with Viking etc.

>Part of Apple's image that earned it loyal customers is that they care more about their customers than most other companies.

>Apple doesn't sell your data, it protects your privacy, will fight government agencies asking for user's data, etc.*

That's a quite recent thing, say starting around 2015 or so, as a differentiating branding to Google, Amazon, and Facebook. They might mention it here and there, but they didn't tout it all the time before, and almost none before 2012 with Jobs. And Apple had already had its huge rise by that point. It's not like the "privacy conscious" are a large enough market to make for the later growth. In fact, if anything, the privacy conscious would have moved to Apple first.

Plus, Apple is not "pro privacy" because it's some political champion of privacy, but simply because it's business model (hardware, software, services tied to them) doesn't need selling ads and user data. Whereas Facebook's and Google's whole business model revolves around turning user info to targeted ads...

Apple's image was "the computer for the rest of us", "empowering people", etc. Even the 1984 ad was about corporate sameness and drudgery of then computing, not about some anti-government rebellion.

Apple was never in politics or taking some stance to world affairs (besides "Against AIDs" etc), and before Cook came out (and the cultural/marketing climate was friendly to jumping on the bandwagon), they'd never cared for the LGBT movement either.
