Your hotel example is pretty absurd, because there's no friction involved in carrying around a hotel room key. There is significant friction involved in memorizing a long password. So no, it's not "how most of the world alrea

The claim was that nothing else will take off to the point of becoming a password killer. 2FA doesn't try to replace passwords.

Thanks. I wouldn't characterize this as "users aren't willing to install any more apps" though; that's quite the leap from the conclusion of the report.

That's not a UX study. That's a UX anecdote.

What UX study did you do? All I saw was a mockup. Maybe I misunderstood.

Well I was hoping for something stronger than your personal anecdotes to back this assertion up. In any case, crayons and tablets are not mutually exclusive choices. You can in fact use both, and other things as well.

When one of the ads in your ad gets clicked, what do you think is the most likely reason? That a child was interested in the product and wanted to get more information before making a decision?

Why do you say "stare blankly"? My young organism stares anything but blankly at the iPad screen when he's allowed to use it. I think you're painting phone/tablet usage in a very negative light here, as if parents a

Of course it isn't that black and white, and I don't think that was the point. I'd interpret it as: Your company is participating in something that, when looked at as a whole, has become something that you could call a legiti

> Why use Twitter for such things, given its limitations? It has limitations, but it also has a lot of reach. A blog might not reach the people you are trying to share things with.

Have you considered the cost of the profilee in these cases? What if they don't want to be the subject of a teachable moment for some prejudiced person? Would you tell them that they are wrong?

In that case, I apologize. I mistook your comments on pooping in cereal and calling people turds as anger. My bad.

Even if you see no reason to bring it up, and it frustrates you to see other people mention it, it shouldn't stop other people from discussing that angle. Allow yourself to read something without getting angry because you don't li

Thanks for explaining. My point about exaggeration was about describing racial profiling and corporate data collection as comparable injustices. I think if you'd tell a victim of lifelong racial profiling that they're really just

I agree with the benefits of what you describe in the last paragraph. But for these opportunities for people to learn by realizing that their unfair profiling of customers based on the color of their skin is wrong... at what point do you co

This looks like a strawman. I didn't see anyone claim that all shopping experiences everywhere should be replaced with this. Amazon Go definitely requires you to have a bunch of things many people don't have access to, and can amo

Sure, but my point is that interpreting the narrative of the article to only apply to black people, and not other types of profiling in shops, is pretty unfair.

I think it's better in the short term, and the long term. Those removed humans have plenty of other opportunities to address their prejudices, and profiling innocent shoppers based on their skin color isn't actually necessary.

Why do you assume that the experience is ephemeral? It sounds like you're trying to downplay the experience of black people being profiled in stores. I think that for people that have to deal with this kind of discrimination day in day

Maybe not the specific narrative of the article, but surely whatever the profiling looks like the narrative of "In Amazon Go, you're not profiled based on your looks" fits.

The timezone does dictate what part of the day we generally call "evening" though.
