I think focusing on "user facing impact" is a good idea and something I'll be using in the future. One challenge is that developers don't always know the user facing impact of their improvements. For example if I notice

I marvel at the "mini toolbar" in Microsoft Office. It shows up when selecting text and neatly manages to get out of the way when not needed: 1) Initial toolbar placement does not obscure selected text. 2) Toolbar fades away if mo

I think the idea is that false positives (cert revoked) result in a call home to Apple for an actual check. The other idea is that because Apple knows all existing certificates, they could conceivably construct filters that have no false po

Comingling means the buyer can't vet the seller so it's entirely on Amazon to ensure the goods aren't counterfeit. As you say, Amazon was able to identify the merchant specifically but wasn't able to determine whether th

Censorship in the form of moderation often makes sense for businesses seeking to maintain their properties. If I run a forum for car enthusiasts, I should be able to curate the community and limit discussions on locomotives. But what of the

This seems a little more informative: "AngelCAD is a powerful open source 3D solid modeller based on the Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) modelling technique, expressed in the AngelScript language. The software creates 3D models in ST

The first is an issue: can only be looking at one thing at a time. The second doesn't seem to come up much in practice. Can eat and sign at the same time unlike voice. Third isn't true -- signing is more expressive because it take

The one in mine signals collision warnings on metal signs above the road. Although in fairness it's never triggered emergency braking.

Removing content when you don't want but are required to do so seems like non-free expression. Although it might be difficult to distinguish between content being removed due to legal requirements vs just not wanting to host the conten

Proper situational awareness while driving is a visual task. As people age, they begin to lose hearing and ability to localize sounds due to age and noise exposure. Leaning on hearing for safety becomes a liability.

From prior experience working with non-UI statecharts: 1) State transitions are essentially "goto". Structured programming offers abstractions that are easier to think about and less fragile to requirement change. But in some situ

That might work, although I think there are two limitations: 1) Hearing aids have a 10ms latency budget. So no matter how much processing they can do, they're limited by how many samples they can look ahead and that limits the design o
