Hi Thomas, thanks for your work. I am a fan! Just a minor comment: I find using decimals places (like 16.1% and 21.1%) in human experiments pretty irritating. It feels like false precision. After all, these experiments must have confidence

Yes you’re right. I should have said: “that’s easy for me” or something like that

I don't think they are. They are deliberate choices to not please everyone. It’s product management at its best.

Oh that’s easy. Focus and take hard decisions that are unpopular in the short term but mostly right in the long term. Examples - first iPhone doesn’t support MMS - cut the headphone plug in new iPhones - stop supporting Adobe Flash - load a

The first thing I thought looking at it: It is a pineapple. It was an immediate thought. There is also the fruit part on top, which makes it even more resembling a pineapple...

The truth is: No one cares. I mean, very few people really care. Mobile phones have been able to bring computation to the masses, including poor countries. PCs were a luxury item even in the Western World. Accessibility and standardization

Absolutely. Malaria is the reason why mosquitos are considered the species most dangerous for humans. Btw, I don't think it's a pandemic since it doesn't affect the entire globe. It's an epidemic, isn't it?

Yes, maybe you’re right. But in this case at least the problem was clearly “located” in the design departement.

by shoto_io 6y ago
To make a counter-argument: I previously worked at a larger e-commerce company with a very strong design department. Working with the design team was not always easy because they had their own ideas about what customers wanted/prefer.

This is super neat. Not only for beginners/intermediate to catch up with documented and undocumented features. But also for platforms who are seeking a better moderation approach. For me, HN is a very special place - the way people int

You might have “googled” the term or a related term subconsciously some time before you’ve made the purchase. I do this all the time even when I’m purchasing things offline.

by shoto_io 6y ago
Yes, agree. But... :) It also depends on “step size”. So if you define success very incrementally you can about it almost scientifically and do “test and learn”. On a large scale I agree with you, it’s pretty impossible to draw a clear line

There are so many things one could say about this. But, from my own experience I have to tell you to do this: Talk to your customers. But not randomly. Talk to them immediately after they have bought their product. Then go and "interr
