The amount of dark patterns Reddit has introduced in their web app is ridiculous. At first, they would prompt you to install the web app every other page load, and now they don't even let you expand comment threads. Why spend so much t

Just like Alphabet is just a search engine, and Microsoft is just an operating system, and Amazon is just an online store. Companies grow into new products, services, markets, etc.

A good place to start would be to go through the Uber UI and click through every button and every page that exists. Now create a driver profile and do the same thing. Now create the multitude of other special profiles they have and do the s

You can make the same argument about HN. Also, in the past couple years, IG has rolled out functionality that does the opposite of what you suggest. e.g. They no longer prompt you with your "likes" notifications. I know they are A

MLM has not created a ton of wealth, jobs, or income. It has done that for a select few, and robbed the majority of its victims. Instagram has provided immense value for millions not only in the ability to connect with others, but opportuni

That's in absolute numbers. Per capita, it's number 8, which is still high, but still beat out by NY, NJ, and IL.

Do you think this argument applies to Google Search as well? Because if Google began deciding which blogs, newspapers, etc align with their version of truth, those entities and their audiences would disappear almost overnight. I think it&#x

The only benefits React has over Vue is popularity, unmounting components (I think that's whats being referenced), and docs? I don't think any of these would crack the top 5 of any devs list of React vs Vue. Maybe docs, but Vue ha

It really depends on your product and your intended audience. Ableton is not built with the intention that any average Joe can jump in and be productive from day one. Compare that to Garage Band, which is dumbed down because it has a differ

The amount of money spent on this gear won't make a dent in resolving these societal issues. Our police are a bandaid on top of a deep wound that is our failings in mental health, poverty, and education.
