I'm surprised Canada has such a large shadow economy. My guess is that a lot of it is restaurants/bars + cannabis.

"Totally untethered individual freedom is unknown in East Asia" Where in society does 'untethered individual freedom' exist? I live in Canada, a very 'free' country, yet there are many rules and laws to follow.

The point is to secure more funding to run better and more complicated studies. If you wait around to publish the perfect study, you'll never get started.

It has little to do with statistical understanding. All psych students are required to study stats, and review the study design before starting. It has everything to with a more systemic problem - publish or perish. Students and professors

It's pretty refreshing to read posts that admit 'management is difficult' on HN. We can get a bit lost in our bubble of tech work, and forget how important management is to actually accomplishing things.

Definitely not accidental, I seem to remember at least one of William Gibson's books mention people avoiding face recognition with masks.

That's basically the job - people who can get, transform and interpret the data correctly.

I think you're wrong about the math requirements. The math is not very abstract, but requires a much deeper understanding of statistics than your post suggests. That's probably why you struggled to get hired. My partner has a succ

Sorry BSVino, but this has been the total opposite of my experience working in UX and UI. I've seen this exact attitude leading to mindless groupthink, and the accumulation of technical or design debt. It doesn't work because it&#

He's using the classical definition, which is very different from the UX definition. A persona is a character played by an actor. In this case, ghostwriters are playing the part of the expert.

Not really - If you managed a small team at a company, you've still got management experience. Bigger companies will recognize that regardless of title.

I think this explanation makes sense? The source of the noise at any given moment is where the tire is (or has just caused) the strip to vibrate. That point is moving away from the observer about as fast as the car is moving away from the o

Oh I definitely agree investing in cycling infrastructure is still worth it. I'm very happy my city has many bike paths and a bike sharing system. However, the reality for most Canadians is that above all we need public transport that

Not an option up here in Canada. Biking is not viable for about a 1/3 of the year. Ice, snow and low temperatures make biking extremely dangerous. My city is known as being extremely biker friendly, yet virtually nobody bikes for 4-5 m

"Annoying your visitors may be dumb" By what metric is it dumb? We've found that our chat widget dramatically increased contacts, conversions, and is often used for support. Personally I am not a fan of annoying chat widgets,

You'd probably draw more attention to your paper if OCR fails to read it!

Personally, I outright disregard a large number of sources - There's so much rubbish online that the 'middle ground' is extremely unlikely to be the truth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_to_modera

I bet that health outcomes are improved with longer term patient-physician relationships - Imagine having a new family doctor every year vs. a doctor who has known you for the last 15 years. edit: This (quite extensive and longitudinal) stu

"Solid, hard-yards user research that comes from a large enough sample set" Unfortunately, not so simple in my experience. That's a lot of time and money many companies can't or will not fork over. So, shortcuts and appr

To be fair, managing serfs is probably quite physically demanding also.

Agreed, I thought it was kind of cool. I work in UX, so some aspects bother me - but it probably serves it's purpose well.

The plan was to automate generating all the paperwork in a very specific format, with it always being a little different. How complicated could it be? :)

Right, and it's clearly not a reference website, considering it's a random selection of a few UX guidelines.
