As a millennial and a designer for 18 years, I absolutely despise this free-positioning overlap stuff. Let's learn all about accessibility and then spit in its face.

GP's argument already does what you propose. In fact, the argument is, "Now that the workplace has changed (in inviting women to be committed workers), why hasn't the home changed yet?" By making this issue about "M

But surely, people who want to work for defence contractors can and will. And if you were working for a company that wasn't a defence contractor, but is becoming one, you can yell and shout if you think it might deter the company and l

The phrase, "the exception that proves the rule" is not used properly here. A proper example is something like: "Parking allowed on Fridays", which is an exceptional case to a rule that is implied: "No parking any o

I find the bottom left to be a very inconvenient spot due to the palm creating false touch events. Logically, it makes sense to be on either of the left corners because obviously having it in the middle of the screen (even on the side) take

One might consider it somewhat condescending but I find that I rarely have emotional reactions to people I don't know. Only people close to me, people whom I've come to have expectations, can bring out my emotional side. The rest,

I think GP means that the justification of JTB by definition is recursive and thus has no real foundation. To call something 'true' is to know it is 'true'. If we are bothering to debate whether knowledge is possible,
