What's the slippery slope here? According to the article: > if [Google] accedes to the Chinese government’s demands, it will make it easier for others to do so, and will also embolden other totalitarian states to ask for their own c

I've used UserTesting.com for previous tests. If your product affects a lowest-common-denominator user or you are testing mainly UX/interaction, I'd recommend it. At that time I paid around $20 per usability test (I bought a

I think with time you may find such drudgery is present in every field. Ninety percent of any kind of work we do is gluing together components and solving boring business needs. It's part of the reason I think we engineers love side pr
