Oh, I agree completely with you, sorry if that wasn't clear. The PM should, must, care about UX. Still, they don't always do, or at least end up not caring eventually, for various reasons. I'm just responding to this: > wh

Realistically, PMs incentives are often aligned elsewhere. But even if a PM cares about UX, they are often not in a good position to spot problems with designs and flows they are closely involved in and intimately familiar with. Having some

That's a good observation, but it doesn't cancel out the GP's point, or its author's dignity. On the contrary, actually, it provides more depth and force to their argument.

You seem to agree that two is not a good number. Better bring four then, so that you're not left with only two after your mishap. Or bring only two, but step on one immediately, to get rid of the cursed pair situation, and also to get

This would also explain why my bathroom scale has been showing larger and larger numbers to me! Genius. I'd say you're onto something, but I can't tell if you're also joking.

I think you are quite correct to put Däniken in the corner of belief and religion, and not expect followers of his ideas to be open to rational argument by default.

In my experience, the recipe for having meetings interface smoothly with the time that surrounds them is twofold: 1. Constrain the meeting duration to a slighly smaller blocks than natural time. 2. Be diligent and efficient in managing time

Seen from within the meeting, it does not really matter if you start 5 minutes late or end 5 minutes early. I think the point is to reduce meeting time from 60 minutes to 55 or even 50 and be firm about it. People need to expect to start an

In my experience, this is a time management problem. Meetings tend to fill the time available. Rarely are there meetings that have to last a full hour and could not have been over after 50 minutes. Or what makes 60 minutes so magical that y

That's a good point. Goes to show how quickly things get arbitrary once you start chopping off heads in the name of ideas. It's disturbing how quickly people get their axes ready, even just from their behind their keyboards. I&#x2

That's a bit of an arbitrary constraint, given that Nazism is widely understood to be a particular brand of fascism. Wikipedia does a descent job, if you're really wondering how it might be done using different words. Given your o

I noticed my use of "indiscriminately" was problematic and I edited my previous post to remove it before I saw your reply. I'd hoped I could fix the ambivalence quickly, before someone misunderstood. I was too late; my apolog

I don't understand the point you're trying to make. I clicked on your link to your own post on x.com and found pretty much the same text, plus a screenshot that does not explain anything - potentially because I don't know how

I don't understand how you can read all this and conclude that people get the information they need. In fact, your latest response is so far out that I've started to seriously wonder if you're trying to troll. If you aren&#x2

I do not remember any specific examples, but when I still used SO, I've come across many cases personally where a question closely matching a problem I had was closed as a duplicate of another question that asked about a related, but d

Yeah, that makes it such a weird notion to want to celebrate here. I mean, even if Venezuelans get really lucky and come out ahead, the global net result of actions like this is hardly going to be positive.

Thanks for the 90s nostalgia. I just realized how much I miss these days and their optimism.

Don't be sad, HN karma has no real worth. On the contrary: It only serves as a proxy measure for how much of your time went to waste. ;)

I think it's okay to be disappointed in the behavior of people who can make informed decisions how to act after taking consequences into account.

I don't find it weird. Not even having to work out a correct orientation is a great convenience. The micro-USB connection (or is it "min"?), which I need to fiddle with to charge some older gadgets, is a testament to how anno

Mostly yes. But No to your first question. Look almost anywhere, anytime, and you'll find force and violence to be the default. That something else exists anywhere at all is an accomplishment; that it doesn't reach everywhere does

Thanks for sending them on their way regardless. It does tend to move things forward.

This reads a little different than your original comment, so thanks for adding to it. It's still not quite clear to me whether you're saying "might is right at every level", or "if this line of thinking were to be a
