I'd argue that "exploration" is a failure to identify intent for most applications. This is probably the hardest UI/UX problem. Would you rather select a series of instantaneous actions select the "Do" button a

IMO a company's "real" value is determined by how useful it would be if the Earth had a high likelihood of complete destruction in a century. Needless to say, Priceline would probably be worth nothing in such a scenario. Inte

Nice post, but one has to wonder if it is self defeating. In the end "speed" is just a matter of expectation management. Suppose you had a website that could complete all actions instantaneously. At this point I imagine speed woul

Why do accusations result in people automatically being labeled as "guilty" anyway?

Which ones? - Boston? Super expensive. - LA? Super expensive. - Seattle? Super expensive. - New York? Super expensive. Etc. You can just settle for a long commute to mitigate the problem, but then it comes back to pick 2.

New York, the only example I can think of, has plentiful housing and it's still more expensive (yes, all boroughs) than most of the country. Will more housing help? Sure. The question really is whether or not increasing housing suppl

The article makes the assumption that the goal is to save money. Perhaps the way things are keeps the status-quo alive for those who make the rules, and that's why we don't have single payer. I hate to be the conspiracy theorist

It's interesting how most of the responses to this post agree that "serverless" isn't literally what's happening but agree to that name and say to get over it. It's akin to someone saying it's "free&q

I sure hope anyone who's mining Bitcoin isn't also complaining about climate change. Also, electricity costs and various other externalities (depreciation of the machine and inevitable waste handling) are never accounted for.

I agree. The link I posted is an example of how sometimes there are other mitigating factors, not "bro culture" "literally firebombing women." The intent was to show how creating your own thing and competing wont necessa

Given the relatively low entry costs to create a technology company, what's stopping the talented women from starting their own companies and competing with a superior product or service? It's sad to say this, but at the end of th

I prefer Typescript because it is more popular. This argument seems circular, but given the nature of both of them, the more popular it is the faster the feedback loop will be in terms of improving it. Not to mention documentation and famil

It's very difficult for me to agree with your assessment. Virtually everything you've said, from her supposed discounting of meritocracy to sensitivity training for the data scientist, is either blatantly false or a very uncharita

well, the definition of a "fatal flaw" depends on the individual. even falling "out of love" with someone is obviously a fatal flaw which is probably the most common.

There's no general solution to this. you need to do needfinding and user studies.

From my friend group there are two types of individuals: 1. Individuals who date many people, breaking up if they find something non-optimal. These include minor things like, not cleaning up on occasion, or not liking something you do. 2. S

Effectively if you take any kind of risk it involves insurance. A concrete example is starting a company and quitting your job. Health insurance is currently heavily tied to employment, so the incentive is not to start a company under those

Are texts really an example of "sexual assault?" My understanding was that sexual assault had to be physical, though I may (probably) be wrong. EDIT: Thanks for the clarification, all. As many have pointed out, there's also t

In these situations how are things actually proved? Is it just a "he said, she said" situation? In any case, it's a bold move to go on record, though I'm curious what difference it actually makes. EDIT: Ah, it seems goin

I don't see the relevance of this comment to my original point. Also, why do you need a whole new "internet" to make what you describe (and the article describes) as an offline application?

Are you actually disagreeing with me? If people cared the product would be good. The lack of a good product reflects the apathy. As for your question, the two are inherently at odds. People prefer the later to the former. That's my poi

Isn't the web already inherently decentralized (of course we all know there are forces trying to create their own walled gardens)? In the end, you just have to make something better that requires decentralization, and then it will win.
