As a designer, I got tired of trying to put my user research in tools like Confluence that weren't really created for this purpose. I love tools like Airtable, Miro, and Figma but it's also a lot to stitch together a clear understanding of who the user is across all these tools- especially if you have multiple projects.
That's why I started building Personify on the side of my full-time job leading design to make user research more actionable and accessible for my product teams.

What is it?
It's a persona based framework that focuses on identifying core needs, pain points, and responsibilities of your users rather than demographics or attitudinal data that's just really arbitrary.

How does it work?
Build the first draft of your persona based on what you know.
Set a research goal of how many users you want to interview.
Bookmark links to your research wherever you store it (GDrive, Dropbox, etc.) and build up a unified view of your user knowledge.
Once you've bookmarked user research to reach your goal - you can publish the persona to our Gallery to share your knowledge and inspire others. (Kind of like a Dribbble for researched personas.

We recently released our second Beta release after 5 months of work refining some of the user experience and we've got some ideas of what we could work on next - but we really want that to be informed by our users and their feedback.
It's been a fun project to work on and I hope it brings some value to your side projects as you work on yours!

Most likely due to wholesalers' agreements and the contract conditions for large installations.

By removing the manufacturers labeling, it prevents fraudulent returns or attempts to contact the manufacturer for support/warranty.

You see the same thing happen with "debranded" monitors or clothing. They're advertised as from "major brands", but debranding allows secondary market selling without risking commingling supply or taking on the support costs for a secondary market item.
"I had no opinion before now, but clearly these machines are unusable anywhere."

All politics aside, it's fairly obvious that electronic voting machines can be very dangerous unless they're handled very, very, very carefully. The contracts for these machines aren't going to the best of the best, they're going to the lowest bidders. As a software engineer, the idea of going from manual, verifiable tabulation to opaque software is completely horrifying.

It is significantly harder to forge thousands of paper ballots. Not impossible, but not nearly as easy as manipulating opaque software or simply gaining access to these machines.

People can actually observe and confirm the tabulation process currently. All machines should be open-source and easily audited if we want to inspire any sort of confidence in them to the average voter.
I still use Windows 7 and it works absolutely fine. Really.
The best code I’ve ever written was when I was only working 10 hours a week. Hours worked has no positive correlation with quality of code written. Good managers know letting their devs watch birds and relax will result in a much higher quality of output then forcing them into the office and dropping by their desk to prod them.

> Finally the idea that all software even can be free "as in beer" is a fantasy, especially when you go beyond bare bones open source code that requires a lot of expert setup or "geek tools."

You don't see any irony at all in saying this as an argument against calling Non-Commercial licenses Non-Free?

This is the content that by law can't be used to fund anything, at all, including freedom-preserving software. Ironically, the best legal chance you have at getting away with funding a product that includes Non-Commercial licensed content is probably ads/donations, which you seem to dislike.

> If all software is free "as in beer," it becomes impossible to field any business model that prioritizes the user

So how exactly are licenses that literally require you to make everything built on top of them free (as in beer) helping with this? If you don't believe that free (as in beer) software/content is worthwhile or feasible to make in the long term, than these Non-Commercial licenses aren't contributing anything worthwhile to the commons, because they can't be used to fund anything. Anything built on top of them will always be the kind of low-effort unsustainable software that you decry here.

If what you're saying is true, then producers of Non-Commercial licensed content might as well just license that stuff as straight proprietary in the first place and stop pretending to be occupying a middle ground.
GTK and Gnome are two completely separate things at this point. Gnome, the desktop environment, is under-built and introduces a lot of anachronisms to the Linux workflow. GTK, the app toolkit, scales quite well across mobile and desktop devices, I agree. I certainly like it more than QT's touch-based experiences, and I might just prefer the design language to Apple's own HIG, in a way...
It works precisely because there is an alternative with less onerous rules. It works even better because the alternative provider is BY FAR the larger player.

> I'm looking at it as a consumer, not a web developer

Then why do you care if it is part of the browser or just a library? A consumer doesn't need to know that, certainly wont interact with a model element directly.

> you could argue that could be done just fine with html and javascript instead.

Not at the time the video controls where introduced and now many sites use DRM which would prohibit a pure js implementation unless you want to piss of Netflix, Amazon, etc. .

> Should everything that's not as popular then be dismissed?

There are finite browser developers working with finite time and finite resources. Why spend any of that on something a random web dev. can easily implement as a JS library?
Aside from being appalling, this would also serve as an admission.
> Other than that, in terms of energy usage, heating/cooling, etc., I would imagine the cost savings of having people work remotely are considerable.

You'd have much higher costs around compliance and taxation, which represent an ongoing expense since laws are always changing and people moving. That probably works out after a few employees in any given state. Companies also lose money by flying everyone in once or twice a year. Now that I think about it, I wouldn't mind seeing some math on the subject.

>Workers have to be lined up in their swim lanes and the whole thing has to be orchestrated... you know, like actual agile instead of the reactive pfaffery that everyone passes off as "hybrid agile" (boy do I hear that phrase a lot in diligence!)

Swim lanes isn't agile per se, it's just business communicating their priorities and assigning it to development. I remember when agile came out, it was great from the development point of view. It was almost immediately perverted by consultants trying to make a buck trying to sell scrum as a panacea to all development costs and overruns. There's an awful lot of snake oil salesmen in tech. Other than that, I agree with everything you said.

Seems like there's a reasonable parallel here with video content. Before native video, video was always in a flash player, and that was good enough for a lot of people— it was proprietary of course, and it it required a plugin. But it worked.

Now with native video, there are still precious few instances where it's just the browser's native video widget. In basically all serious commercial scenarios, there's at least custom player chrome, navigation buttons, overlays, JavaScript to pause the video and play an unskippable interstitial, etc etc.

I would argue that the current state of affairs for 3D viewers is closer to the current state of affairs for video than it is to the Flash player story of 15 years ago. No, there is no explicit "model viewer" widget, but you could just as easily argue that WebGL canvas is to 3D content what <video> is to h264 and webm content.

This hits really close to home. Everyone in my close friend group (5-8 people) and their spouses are all childless, for various different reasons. I've never been good at romance or relationships, so I feel the clock ticking as well.

I really don't know how much of this can be attributed to modernity or personality. A man not having children is apparently the norm throughout human history.

I do find it fascinating, though, that if I do not have children, I will be the end of a direct line that stretches back four billion years to the dawn of life itself. And, I will be the first in this direct line of descent NOT to have a son. It's simple, but amazing, to realize that I am the son of a father, his father, his father, ... etc all the way back to when sexual reproduction began.

Also unwillingness to speak. How many of us have had a strained relationship (personal, professional) that's made worse because we don't know why it's strained? "You know what you did!" is often not true.

I had a colleague who became absurdly cold to me, ignoring me for weeks. I tried to speak with him and find out what had happened but he gave me the silent treatment (we didn't work directly together, adjacent projects, so the lack of communication wasn't an issue for the work itself). Finally, one day he decided to pull me aside and air his feelings. It turned out it was a misunderstanding, but it had turned into nearly two months of awkwardness in the office (I worked with the people who sat near him and was often in his space as a result). And even if it hadn't been a simple misunderstanding, I still never knew what the problem was until he finally spoke. If it had been the result of deliberate malice or carelessness on my part, then we could have tried to resolve it much earlier (or found an inability to resolve it if it had been a fundamental conflict of views or something), but the silence made it impossible to even address.
I agree with your points on the robotaxi front, but there are many other problems that will totally benefit from a bigger training computer.

I work at Stripe. I'm sorry for the issues - we've just sent you an update.
Music has invariant temporal forms that reliably communicate feelings, based on the context. A musical cadence versus none, a change in rhythm, lingering on a note... The common nature of these forms lends themselves to common feelings about them. When two people are open to music, with a similar experience, they roughly feel the same thing. Perhaps not exactly, but music as a technology for exchanging non-verbal experiences, feels, is surprisingly consistent — why does film music have such a common effect on the emotional vibe of the scene?

In the future, if we could gather and annotate people's feelings in response to musical forms (including but far more than consonance and dissonance), I'm sure this would enable an AI-based model of the emotional resonances of various musical elements (and their multi-level representations in the neural network). Then, compositional models could be trained using real-time aesthetic rating devices (e.g., reporting on pleasure/uncomfortabble and interestingness/boringness).

Now, this system would hypothetically be able to manipulate emotions, at least to the extent that a composer can now.

Is that useful in anything but a creepy way? Well, maybe you could add filters to existing compositions to change their vibe... like, the "humanize" button in logic pro gives a looser feel. You might be able to apply filters that could make a song feel more longing or hopeful.

As I said, I'm not sure of a solution to the nuance, but I do think each of these is a little irresponsible in its own way.

To use the Apple example – you're right they don't quite live up to their privacy marketing (because it's marketing!), but if we teach people that Apple are bad at privacy the answer is that they won't value the privacy angle and will buy cheap Huawei phones, which is about the worst possible outcome. The reality is that Apple are ~90% good at privacy, and most people can probably trust them more than anyone else on the market.

do you not agree that housing demand in nyc/sf is highly inelastic then? the rest kinda follows from that. or are you arguing that the supply itself is even more inelastic than the demand?

I think part of the problem with this example is that $2k is just not very much money compared to rental income in those areas. I agree, it is hard to imagine landlords dropping out of a market where they can rent a studio for $2500+/month over a one-time $2000 expense. I argue it would still happen at the margins, but it might result in a market rent increase that is below the noise floor.

still, it is a mistake to assume that all HCOL landlords are making money hand over fist. places with high rents tend to also have high price-to-rent ratios. landlords with recently purchased, mortgaged properties might not be making much profit, even with sky-high rents. if a lot of landlords are in this situation, the supply could be surprisingly elastic.
Fixing the security vulns in a non-networked computer would also be a lot less critical...
