What are considered stupid extra steps by some, others may consider to be deciding factors for using a product or not. The user experience in this case requires a fix regardless of what you may consider a penny solution value. Ownership of

I wonder if this trend will increase. Moving from Chrome to Firefox and Google to DuckDuckGo for me was first about a bad taste left by a brand. That led me to alternatives that are more user focused and actually listening to users. I think

Got it. I made DDG my default in the awesome bar, but I understand the benefits of the saved keyword approach better now.

I haven't played with Firefox keywords really but isn't the saved search still going through whatever the default search engine is (in Firefox, Google)? [Update] I guess my point is that DDG has it ready to go and the syntax is us

The !Bang syntax is excellent for searching language/framework/library specific answers. Just append it to the end of a search if you need to. [DuckDuckGo !Bang]( https://duckduckgo.com/bang.html ) If you still need

I made this switch myself recently. The web dev tools in FF are still a bit weak in pseudo areas and media queries but I'm living with it for now. BTW, why doesn't Firefox have "paste & match style"? DDG is also my g

I feel about the same. I recently switched back over to DDG (and Firefox). I'm happier with their privacy conscience philosophy (even if turns out moot because of it's location) and will give it my search queries going forward. Du

Whoops - thanks for the drivel alert. I dribbled a bit. I think Apple historically has done a great job overall and set a bar where the user experience is concerned. Recently, that hasn't been as true for me with certain Apple products

How does this dribble make it to HN? This article represents such an elitest out-of-touch opinion. When designers forget that users or potential users are the final authority that matters, they're walking the path of irrelevance.

There are lawyers ... and there are lawyers. Nilay's arguments were very eloquently tossed into his shoe for him to eat by other lawyers. Read the comments on the Verge for pretty good online lawyer brawling .. Ok not a brawl, but Patel had

Really good points. Product is ultimately responsible for the user experience. The PM or head of product may not be a legal expert, but they better be an expert in knowing their users. Stakeholders signed off on the ToS or ToU. Each bears

First, I'm sorry for interrupting the usual topics of HN. Just hoping to spread this story hoping that anyone with information or a little extra bandwidth can carry on the online efforts to find this missing woman. Second, thank you.

Whether it's customer or user , the experience better rock! Less time on semantics and more on great products that people want to use.

Exactly my thoughts too. When a CEO makes a statements like this, it tends to raise questions about their judgement. It's an out of touch belief in my opinion.

Executive escalation departments are not the CEO. I served some time in customer experience before going into quality and then PM. UE and CE are very important to me. This letter does not have the ring of a typical escalation path. Either h

A CEO is a pretty busy person ... when one responds (no matter how it was escalated) it says something about his/her viewpoint. Many CEOs would hand this off to their customer experience personnel (if they have some still) or maybe marketin

Well put ... PayPal has some housecleaning to do but here is someone that appears to be listening ... listening in a big way. I give PayPal credit for this response. Rather than being cynical, I'm happier giving credit to someone who wants

Long before IFTTT, Pipes was an excellent solution for various social media needs. I recall mashing up RSS feeds and using it to bypass various platform throttles. It was awesome for fixing wonky feeds. Love the UNIX metaphore and interface

Totally agree ... the via tag was very useful for helping decide which automated, bot, spammer to avoid. It provided additional context for tweets.

Too reminiscent of those pesky read email requests. Also, 'Seen by' is not the same thing as 'Really read by'. One reason why I stopped using Messenger (the app and web version) Favoring the content producer over the consumer won't necessar

Even though I really enjoy pecking away in BBEdit, I find Vim to be so wickedly fast. Manipulating text in Vim is nicely handled without having to stretch the fingers very far. By the time I go to the trackpad in another IDE, I could have a

I'm happy to see that some of us understand the reality of death. I just smile when so called techie-minded folks declare a technology dead. It sort of puts their judgement on death in perspective ... RSS is a great solution for many proble

I personally like the official site placement. It saves me time. The sponsored link and yellow background is the floor and I'm drawn to everything above it (a problem if the official site is a sponsored link though I guess). It's a differen

I wrestled with the idea of not posting the OP for a minute but I figured that it should have a spot on HN because it was of user experience interest and also sheds a little more light on the effects that stirring a beehive can have. Biz de
