Sometimes, sure. And sometimes aesthetics are vital. That doesn't say anything about UI design in general though, only a subset of cases. It's possible you may need to redo UI for new search. If I add faceted search or geo search,

True. But you might as well say the same about an umbrella not keeping mosquitoes away. UI design doesn't involve BE design in any way. So?

I disagree that when all parties involved are willing that others can classify one of those parties as a victim. If we did that we could include selling unhealthy food, for instance. If others don't agree with such transactions they ne

Good point. If I was a purist I'd say "no". Using those weapons might be. Not being a purist I'm happy to make exceptions for probable use or effect of the activity. So: Selling weapons to people likely to commit crimes

Thanks for your reply and from the tone, am I correct in guess your answer to my question would be "no"? :-) For a more detailed response see below: I've been working freelance on and off for 15 years in the EU and 10 years

I have never understood the concept of victimless crime. If two (or more) people are free to choose to have sex together and such parties are free to enter into a commercial / labor agreement how can the combination of the two be a p

People want it. They may not want what the geeks designed, "what the tech is for" but it meets and emotional need / desire. Think consumer level, mass adoption of email in the beginning. People didn't get it (and the ver

I agree with #hannob to a point. I favor any approach that can be done now to make an improvement. We need to reduce, then eliminate atmospheric CO2 production and then get to reversing - removing it - ASAP. It's up to us to make sure

Bitcoin has proven digital currency can be a vehicle of value and the security of blockchain. Ethereum pushed that further with currency with superpowers. I don't think we've seen the really interesting stuff come out of this worl

I'd like to point out that the search and how the results are displayed are part of the design - and can be the major bit . UI design isn't only, often not even primarily, about aesthetics.

UI - or any other design is not primarily about aesthetics. Where the author says, "You don't use Google maps because it looks nice, you use it because it tells you where to go", he's right, but it took good design to

For someone who's never heard of the system it's good enough to get me interested. I'd love to see one with your history though. Great point.

I'm new to HK - just read the guidelines. I clicked this post because the title screamed scam( to me and I was curious. I was happily surprised to see a post that makes sense. I've never heard of FIRE. I'm always skeptical o
