Agreed that we probably end up on that naturally for things like traffic lights or danger signs, but I was thinking more interns of a full UI with that approach as an integral, conscious design consideration... based on more in depth and so

It would be interesting to design a UI colour scheme specifically with this in mind, with strategic use of red vs green for focusing attention in a way that parallels the eye's natural biological tuning, as a similar approach to access

Easy there tiger. The record will probably remain broken while women spend huge amounts of time building up education and careers and then have an unfair additional burden of crap to deal with that their male peers don't. I don't

I don't see anything on the original site where the author claims that fixing or improving the pipeline would not "contribute" to fixing the issue so maybe a bit of straw from your end as well. My understanding of the author&

Apologies if it came across as exaggerating your point, I didn't mean to equate what you wrote to Jim Crow laws at all but rather to provide an extreme example to illustrate how preferences of the majority are not related to whether an

It is a very nearsighted view of individuals and grossly oversimplifies people as intrinsically good or bad without considering how people change over time, or how they're ahead of their time and seen as right later. Especially in the

Definitely a good point, although it might be a reflection of high budget long form content reflecting interests of older people more than younger generations, and as they grow into being more represented at the professional tiers (which ta

Also, I'm the same way with shifting to more relaxing things like reading and dinner with friends so totally agree on that! I was writing more with what I think of as the average consumer. I would like to see the trend of more comple
