I'm slowly realizing that being judgemental and expressing those judgements to sympathetic interlocutors often feels good in the moment, but it's toxic in the long run. This is because those judgements you pass on others are almos

> you know that at least two agencies (FBI & NSA) have total access to your Facebook data. OK maybe I missed something, but do you have a citation for this?

Yes, I am. Or I would be, if I thought this story was remotely true.

I think creative people are not those who get the "muse visit", as you say, but people who are stimulated by the million mundane steps involved in one work of creation. Those who enjoy each of a thousand brushes of sandpaper, who

> so we can just pay for these things with savings if we want to. Uh, who's "we"? You mean the 60% of Americans with more than $500 in savings? Are those the people who can "just" pay for it out of savings?

Yes! My bank did something like this - they kept rejecting my password as too long without telling me how long it was supposed to be !! Turns out it was ten. Ten characters protecting my sensitive personal banking information. Upon e-maili

Right, and I think the key part of envex's statement is "by now". Meaning that in this stage of history, the ubiquity of pseudo-3D graphical interfaces means people are able to pick up on the subtler affordances of flat design. And as you s

I think this raises a good point - flat design is not applicable in all situations. It's got to be something like a handful of large inputs on one screen. If you're depicting a large hierarchy of domain objects or a complex tax form or some

Except the save button isn't, itself, a floppy disk, it's just got a floppy disk icon on it. The floppy disk or paper iconography are not "functional input controls" themselves. They are laid upon UI chrome which is likely skeumorphic to so

At least they tell you what's allowed. My favorite is when I put in a password that's rejected with an ambiguous message. Or, even better, when my bank accepted my password but it actually didn't handle whatever punctuation was in it correc

So, yes, you're extrapolating from anecdote. Not convincing.

What age are you talking about? Are you extrapolating from an anecdote here? Is this any different from how it used to be for previous generations? Even if this kind of thing is widespread, is this much different from adult recreational sof

Karunamon is not asking for them to find a specific phone, just make a general announcement for everyone to double-check that their phones are off, and possibly to specifically cite interference as the reasoning.

It was a typo before, used to say "use" instead of "using".
