Third parties is google as single sign on. If such an org/domain is abandoned, a malicious person could 'resurrect' the accounts on those third party sites. It's kind of like a similar situation where a user deletes an e

Agreed he could have searched for the spelling, but "that" is probably referring to the word, not the human the word refers to, so "that" seems appropriate here. I would have used "it" ("however it is spel

I was just speaking generally about funding for research. I don't follow the logic that taxpayers would be happy with the university getting credit. I'm a tax payer, and I'd much rather the researcher get credit.

TimeMachine is a pretty good second option. It's not bootable itself, but the recovery console on any mac can ingest a time machine backup and get you back up and running quite quickly. The benefit here is that it's free, trivial

Is this the right place to report bugs? The handles in the first two examples trap touch interaction blocking scroll. The latter three examples don't. This has a side effect of not being able to 'drag up to reveal the labels under

They're a wide chasm between what one can make and what is led to making. React can lead to fast, responsive websites, though you'd be fighting against a current pulling you out to a bloated, buggy mess. There's a uniqu

The contract would likely say something to the effect of "I promise to pay for the data sent to or from this device" and nothing about the owner of the device. If anything was said about the owner, it would be that the responsibil

Alcohol is in the poison zone for almost any regularly consumed dose. That's not true for the things you're eluding to like oxygen and water. You have to go out of your way and force yourself to drink a poisonous amount of water.

Blurred background is unpredictable contrast, sometimes low, sometimes high. Plus the motion behind it would be distracting. You can see the impact on the static screenshot in the OP where the text is harder to read over the light part of t

Disagree; the action behind the glass will make using the HUD more difficult, and the glass will make seeing what's behind it almost impossible. It makes both parts of the experience worse. Although, on the surface, to an onlooker, it

This is not my personal experience. It was very hard for me to read the text on vista glass.

I don't follow. What exactly has the brain been honed to do? Every single article I've read on the matter says higher contrast is more readable. The debate is over how high is 'good enough'.

It may be entirely done within the GPU, making the energy cost insignificant. At least apple added an accessibility setting to reduce the blur.

It has all the same problems in games as it has on a website, it's just more acceptable to sacrifice usability for 'looking cool' in a game.

Cool technical achievement; Bad UX. It's harder to read or understand anything inside a translucent panel than one with a consistent, solid background because of lower and inconsistent contrast with the background. Additionally, things

Even high dpi monitors are rough. Using a non-integer scaling, you run into weird flickering and inconsistent widths as things land on even (single) or odd (two) pixels. Using a 2x scaling, it's still blurry, just the fuzzy edges are h

I use a bitmap font without antialiasing on macos and it's crystal clear. Selecting something more 'normal' or 'modern' then turning on antialiasing turns it into a blurry mess.
