You may think it's wrong, but a professor at the University of Pennsylvania and the former president of the American Psychology Association would disagree with you. There is a chapter in his book ( http://www.amazon.com/

Well, it is a loss for us, but unfortunately it's just not technically feasible to have a global seamless login experience yet. We're working in that direction.

Stack overflow PM here. The hot/active/week/month tabs were only removed for anonymous users. If you're logged in at all, you will still see them. I think my meta-post covers the reasons behind this (mostly simplificatio

I admit that this may be a fuzzy edge case that I'm not completely familiar with, but I think the objection is not that Congress is completely exempt from the act but that the president had the executive branch issue a rule that allowe

I'm trying to summarize the objections without judging the objections themselves. The exemptions that I'm referring to are being referred to as "waivers", and you can see a itemized list and description of each type of w

Which is why I said "mostly". Anyway, remove that sentence and the rest of my comment stands.

Sure. The health care system was structured poorly before any of this got started. Basically, how health insurance worked in the US is that about 90% of people get health insurance through their employer. This happened for two reasons: duri

I love how you make baseless accusations directed at the "Koch brothers" based on an article that doesn't even say that there were actual denial of service attacks. Then you poke fun at "American idiots", and then a

I think the size and scope of this project compares pretty well with yodlee.com, which pulls financial records from all of your banks and credit cards and acts as a service for other sites to build upon (mint).

If you are a founder in a company that sells for a billion dollars, and you only come out of it with 300,000, that's an almost criminal level of incompetence. That's .03%. Assuming you start from some whole number of percentage o

Not really well explained. Nothing about the process is explained in the video. The only thing the video does is spend three minutes saying "if you have a problem, solve it among yourselves rather than going to the boss".

Two things that I saw: * If there are instructions, that's usually a red flag to me that I've done something poorly in the UI design. I agree with one of the previous commenters that you should do a make/model search instead.

A result of the new close reasons re-factor is that closed questions will be called "on hold" for five days before they become finally closed to encourage the OP to improve the question.

Without addressing the broader question, which we are well aware of and continue to discuss internally, "not constructive" will no longer be a close reason as of next week. It's being replaced, in this case, by "primaril

Although I feel like we have been successful, there have been so many business and technical challenges that I'm quite sure that we would not try this one again if we had to go back knowing what we do now. It's a two-sided marketplace, whic

I've been meaning to write a blog post on it, but you know how it goes. Never enough time. Basically, it comes down to study + experience. But study is absolutely a necessary prerequisite; otherwise you have no criteria to decide what went

I'm sorry, but as someone who does UX full-time, I couldn't disagree more. I used to be a developer who felt the same way. All of this stuff is just common sense. Then, I decided to do a career transition into full-time UX and spent a year

This is cool, but I couldn't believe their video included the skiing example. As an avid skier, I can't think of anything more life threateningly dangerous than messing with menus to share a video while you're sliding down a mountain. I get

Kudos to you for the honest attempt to reframe, but I think you're just using circular logic. In effect, you're saying "If we could get twice as many people, then we would have twice as many people". In reality, there is some reason why wom

Well, in my defense I did say it was a "budding friendship". However, I literally have never had a positive experience discussing religion or politics, except with people with whom I already agree. I have a personal rule to never do so, and
