Why do food producers need to do these fake coloring schemes? They are poisoning the well. In this day and age these ugly practices of the past are discoverable. I don’t care for ugly colors if the tradeoff is toxicity.

I wonder if the coming AI Customer Service chatbots will be programmed with “sludge” as part of their operating procedure or can we expect an Asimov-like set of ethics from it where it will optimize to be as helpful to the best extent possi

I think it was more than three, I don’t recall the reference of 3 horsemen being used. Lynda Weinman and Seth Godin were influential (Godin from a marketing and SEO perspective). Also Krug and Allsop.

My mailbox is full of junk mail and it’s hard to make them stop. It’s not even addressed to me, just the mailbox location. The design pattern to “unsubscribe” or block the junk sender is also useless. Surely there must be a strong political

The metric of “living longer” isn’t the same as “life expectancy once you reach the age of 65”, for example. In the US, when someone cites a statistic that our average life span decreased, it’s due to the effects of early-life mortality on

MS Paint was lightweight and single-purpose. It was easy to wield like a kitchen utensil. Was it really necessary to discontinue MS Paint, the app was barely a few hundred kilobytes. Glad to have found Pinta and it works and feels just righ

Bad smell in urine comes from ammonia, nothing to do with mixing. The quality and mechanism of the litter helps to neutralize it. Also I’ll take an automatic machine over manual. The market was junk ten years ago but there’s some good ones
