You're suggesting it's not unreasonable, but your evidence of a reason is poor. I did not accuse anyone of being apathetic or lazy (nether word is in my comment) but I do question the behavior because it is drastically less effici

Aesthetics are not as subjective as you seem to think. I am not sitting on a high-horse here; I argue closer to the opposite. My assertion that contemporary web design is affect-laden has proof in the pudding. It is ridden with commercial &

A grounded understanding of media theory and media history is the best way to grasp good design. This can be obtained by looking at the story of media back to the Gutenberg printing press. Look through historical documents, old magazines, b

If we want to get at these small pesky scams, we will need to address the large corporate scams. The small ones are almost entirely born of (directly or indirectly) or shielded by the larger ones. This rule holds up regardless of what socia

I struggle to see why anyone would want to dilute Hacker News with the affect-laden decadence of contemporary web design. I am a visual artist and this is sincere. My hopes are that the HN community holds stable at least until I can find a

I don't think the "treadmill experts" at treadmillreviews.net are any more reputable than Good Housekeeping's youtube channel. In response to your platitude on the environmental impact, I assume you don't mean &#x27

Nestle undoubtedly sold more bottled water during the fallout. I recently moved to rural midwest from the pacific northwest and have insisted on tap water my whole life, but I am now drinking bottled water in fear of what happened in Flint.

Haven't been in the industry long enough to do what? Ask questions? It appears you have been working in the industry too long to answer them, which is much worse.

I considered that too. Maybe it's just some strange wording. Either way, I think the reasoning in consideration of bias sounds solid.

'Capitalist realism' humiliates all of these assumptions, except the author's pride. He does that on his own. PDF: https://libcom.org/files/Capitalist%20Realism_%20Is%20There%...

This boils down to the added masses of administration staff at the schools. American schools are doing more marketing, recruiting, student finance. I have noticed schools buying huge chunks of real estate in American cities lately too, but

This is a cultural coincidence, not a causal correlation.

So the design approach that lacks any theoretical support to begin with is less functional? I hope too much effort wasn't wasted on the study but thanks for posting. I'm sick of this stuff.

I definitely don't think you are wrong but in practical purposes, "curated" doesn't mean what it used to and I think we can all suffer less when we accept that. It's probably one of the prices society pays for the i

Good point. Maybe this 'scope' could eventually be handled with another layer to predict eye trace. It would require a lot of eye tracking data. I used to be a film editor and I think this might be similar to how composition influ

There are point(s) to protesting the state, but not other groups of fringe citizens who disagree with you. They would be better dealt with by ignoring them. The people showing up at these 'stand-off' style events are not wrong, bu

We could use an AI model spitting out various assemblages of this general explanation. I am just flabergasted at how few American adults seem to have thought about this fundamental grade-school level material until 2017; even Google. What g

Poor thing, it's a blog. It's maintained and updated by the consumer oriented corporate brand. It's marketing. I am not saying it's evil or that your wrong, but that your deductions are illogical.

It's pretty clear in the comments here that all efforts other than solving the 30 day file retention limit are going to be a waste of time until you address this. It simply reduces the utility of the product to the point that you need

This is basically the marketing that got Backblaze it's respect. The service features and GUI experience fall short, and yes I am widely just referring to the 30 day file retention. In practice, this basically means you need yet anothe

The same point about file recovery was why I chose Crash Plan and why I did not believe their plan could be sustainable. :(
