Honestly, my best advice on hiring a UX/UI person at the sort of stage you sound to be at is “don’t”. Get a frontend developer with an eye for design instead - hiring someone in a UX specialism too early will just result in a lot of unactionable reports being generated because the people actually able to implement anything are already busy building other things.

The only exception I’d make here is if your UX person is able to implement their suggestions themselves, without dragging people away from other work.
There’s another video kind of like this one that I saw once, but instead of an actually motorized bike they are riding on a conventional bicycle and playing a trumpet to make it sound like a motorcycle.

I can’t find the video now but I think it was filmed in Brazil and the guys on the bicycle we’re like teenagers or something.
"If a person of Snowden's reputation is not enough for you, who is?"

I don't think anyone seems to grasp the OP's question.

Snowden is a low level analyst who leaked some relevant information. He seems like a smart guy. But none of this makes a person's opinion particularly informed or newsworthy, especially on these kinds of board level, inner circle type dealings.
What is the motivation behind these hit pieces anyways?
I'm with you on that one. I actually want to go back to the office.

I don't have a dedicated workspace at home, and I'm definitely feeling it. The line between working from home, and living at work, is getting very blurry. Our living room has become an office, our kitchen has become the other office. The bedroom is now the only space sacrosanct.

It's not so much that I miss the office, but I certainly miss "going to work" and "leaving work". That's very difficult to replicate in the space I have - here I am on a lazy saturday afternoon, and "work" is the sleeping thinkpad just to the left of me.

Obviously if this persists, I'm going to need to look into a larger living space. Either going from a 1 bedroom to 3, or somewhere large enough to have a separate dining room we can repurpose (and "young-couple flat with an actual dining room instead of a table floating in the middle of an open-plan room" seems to be quite rare.)

So whenever I hear talk of how much our employers could save by not needing anywhere near as much property - in the back of my head I'm starting to realise it's just shifting that property cost from them to me.

Presumably, advances should be better, or they wouldn't be advances. However, whether something is an advance, better, or progress, is subjective. Which means the real problem is that the set of choices is too limited to a "conventional" view of progress (e.g. you can make your work converge towards a prototypical sci-fi city, but not towards the Shire, or any other aesthetic, even though they're valid paths).
In a paper posted Friday, the Johns Hopkins researchers say the data collected by the San Diego center's economists (who represent three different universities) in fact support one main thrust of the study — that the Sturgis event led to a spike in COVID-19 cases in the county that hosted the rally as well as in surrounding areas.

Basically, the new paper confirms the first likely effects of the earlier study. These are concentrated, earlier surfacing, and observable in a known location. Downstream epidemiological effects will occur later, be more diffuse, and require contact tracing, i.e. there's more work that can only occur in the future.

We are only a month out from the Sturgis Rally. That's not enough time to collect significant data on it's impacts.

He mentions that epidemiology has actually more severe problems than economics. Having read some epi papers I understand why. Not sure if you'd count that as a physical or social science though: at least theoretically it's biologically based, but in reality the data it works with is mostly social and demographic.

I'm not convinced this poll is much indication of anything; it's just asking about a weird carbon tax scheme.

> Suppose a proposal was on the ballot next year to add a monthly fee to consumers' monthly electricity bill to combat climate change. If this proposal passes, it would cost your household $____ every month. Would you vote in favor of this monthly fee to combat climate change, or would you vote against this monthly fee?

$1/month: 57% favor
$10/month: 28% favor
$20/month: 30% favor
$40/month: 23% favor
$75/month: 15% favor
$100/month: 16% favor

A more useful question would be: "Would you oppose climate change regulations that had the effect of increasing your energy bills $10/month?"

The "self-importance" problem is truly endemic today, to the point that it embodies some kind of natural law. It is easier to extract value from users if you subjugate them.

For instance I find it absurd that to use a VR headset - effectively no more than a gaming peripheral, along the lines of a TrackIR but fancier - I need to buy in to several software "markets", create several accounts, submit to installing invasive spyware on my machine, and endure regular multi-gigabyte forced updates that don't improve the experience at all. It's completely out of proportion.
Let's just say that I find that survey less than convincing. The wording of the question almost certainly calls to mind bills with tacked-on “convenience” fees that serve to enrich companies more than provide convenience to the consumer. What does “pay $10 extra a month to combat climate change” even mean?

You'd probably get a different response to “Would you switch to an energy company that uses 100% {solar/nuclear/etc.} if it costed ${5/10/etc.} more per month than your current bill”.

This is awesome. I’ve been using Elixir for a long time and the abstractions with BEAM/OTP make it quite a powerful platform. Great additions to the ecosystem.

As an aside, I’ve been playing with Factor recently and it’s been quite the learning experience with concatenative paradigms. I mention it because I was surprised it had erlang-like concurrency models in it (actor, and more).

Misses speech impediment yoke by not calling it Aplil
Honestly, both positions are arguable. But, and it's a big but, the fact that it is their hardware and their OS points to the former (their platform, their marketing).

Ultimately, it's their storefront, so who they do business with - and the terms of that business - is their choice (as is so often argued when free speech and platforms comes up here on HN). Competition exists, in the form of other hardware and other OSes (though, Epic's Fortnight was kicked off Google's store for the same reason as it was kicked off Apple's).
So one problem I was thinking about: If someone stands behind your shoulder while you vote (because they want to violently coerce you, or because they are buying your vote), then it must be possible to make the system ignore that vote. Maybe by overriding it later, or by making it seem like you are voting even though your are not

In either case with such a ignore-vote function in place, how can you be sure that the mailman, or the official who gave you your authentication codes, that they aren't pulling this trick on you? By it's nature it must be undetectable that it is performed?

All guesswork. Any good links or videos that really do a good job explaining the why?

I'm no Swift expert, but I don't believe that any changes have been made to its idiomatic error-handling approach. Using the first example from the Swift 5.3 docs ( https://docs.swift.org/swift-book/LanguageGuide/ErrorHandlin... ):

func buyFavoriteSnack(person: String, vendingMachine: VendingMachine) throws {
let snackName = favoriteSnacks[person] ?? "Candy Bar"
try vendingMachine.vend(itemNamed: snackName)
}

The `try` is analogous to Rust's `?`, and the `throws` is the part of the type signature that indicates that the function may error but without any additional information about how it may error. Of course, I imagine a capable IDE should still be able to inspect all the `try`s in a function to determine what types can possibly be thrown.
No, I mean nicotine. Almost all the sources in Gwern’s summary come from before the commercialization of vapes and other nicotine products. All of these use nicotine salt which is absorbed much faster than freebase nicotine from old-style vape juice or nicotine polacrilex from gum, making it more familiar for former smokers but also more addictive.

If you’re convinced it’s impossible, it’s really easy to test it out by just buying a Juul. I don’t recommend it.
> I have no desire for Apple to market my software for me

Yet you do have a desire for it to run on Apple's hardware, under Apple's OS. And thus you have a desire to do business with them. That you disagree with their rules for doing business by itself doesn't make them the bad guy.

They're offering many of the same terms offered by Microsoft, Google (Android Play store and Stadia), and Sony after all.
For some definition of 'good'. In Germany it's usable enough that you can live without it, but only if you don't really value your time and comfort. From my personal experience, only the Netherlands has a city structure and public transportation that truly makes a car redundant.
Disagree. Banning things is rarely effective, can't be enforced and tends to make people install loud exhaust systems. I've seen far more confederate flags in California recently probably because of all the cancel culture efforts to ban them as an example. Also loud pipes actually do save biker lives, and I think as EV's start to break out of their niche market the manufacturers should have to build in some sort of pedestrian/cyclist/other motor vehicle awareness audio.

IIRC from prior discussions of this, a lot of the accuracy of the markets comes from people just applying common sense - like, if a really surprising claim that people should really have noticed before now comes with a huge effect size, it's probably false. ML can't judge that because it doesn't have the ability to do basic sanity checks on claims like that. It takes a sceptical human with life experience to do that.

Online voting should never be the goal. Computers make things easier and more scalable, but that's not what you want for voting. You want a process that's as distributed as possible so the blast radius of any kind of interference with the voting process itself is as small as possible. It's way harder to change votes at large scale if they have been made on paper. Same with counting: I don't want a 32bit value somewhere counting votes. I want various people manually counting votes and have them observe process. Yes: All that is maybe more expensive than running some website or setting up magic machines, but that's a cost I'm more than willing to take.

> Voting software must be opensource on Github so it means that must be verifiable.

This assumes the problem is merely making an accurate count, rather than making consensus.

"Verfifiable" doesn't just mean "an expert in the field can determine the system registers the votes/totals cast by individual voters." Because that means you still have the political problem of how non-expert citizens know they can trust someone's verification or expertise.

Verifiable in a democracy means that a layperson of average intelligence can observe and understand the process and participate in verification.

Or to put it in Python terms, "explicit is better than implicit."

We're not just making a count, we're making group confidence that a given vote count was correct.
Progressive taxes do not disincentivize success.

They also don't tax high earners more. They tax the high end of high salaries more.

In other words, I pay the same amount of taxes on the first $50k of earned income as a ceo pays. We both pay the same rate on the next $50k, and so on. Then, he may pay a higher rate for that last $3m he earns. Seems completely fair to me.

In reality, he has a lot more resources and power to tax plan his income, so he will likely pay a lower effective tax rate than me anyway. So taxing the higher incomes, if anything, is needed to keep things fair.

But regardless, assuming those higher income brackets aren't taxed at an extremely high rate, no one is declining higher salaries or choosing to earn less because it will be taxed more.
