I've got serious doubts about a list of 'UX laws' that doesn't include any references to affordances (or anything else from 'The Design of Everyday Things'). Also, this site is impossible to read?

Growing up I always assumed a rice cooker was one of those things I'd never be able to live without - for years my family used one almost every day. When I moved out of home, I didn't buy a rice cooker initially, because you don&#

I personally agree that you're not being anti-intellectual, and that your original question was valid. That said, I think there's huge value in studies that scientifically validate things we believe to be true to 'common know

I'd imagine that fee would be literal money, as this nullifies concerns about people creating fake accounts to get more Karma, and means people are fully incentivised to place votes carefully. It does introduce a "pay to influence

Slight tweak - rather than X,000 followers, kick the top x-percentile. Allows people to come back on, and enhances that delicious "cancel them at the risk of making them more listened to" game theory that you have identified.

I think it would be interesting to use a market based mechanism for voting, where placing an upvote costs a small fee. The fee price increases as more upvotes are placed, and you can always un-place your upvote to get a refund at the curren

The difference is that the sample size for Fincher is a lot larger - 9 of his 10 films have grossed >100mil, so we have very good confidence on his hit rate. Startup Savvy CEOs have 2, maybe 3 successful companies under their belt, so it

It seems to me that the utility Monster argument has a critical flaw in that it actually does a great job of describing the way we distribute utility in reality. We can't properly rationalise with a being that derives 100 times more ut

Ok so doing super-approximate maths: A fully fueled and loaded Saturn V weighs about 3,000,000 Kg, and has a payload of about 40,000 Kg to the moon. So that means once you've put all the bits of the rocket together that collectively gi
