AI drivers also react much faster than humans.

Personas give you a context for what A would do when B. It's that decision by A that's valuable for the business.

Or, just a regular day in the massively manipulated futures trading market...

Flat UI is not "flat", please read up on the topic.

Design is highly subjective, but from the designer's eye, there is no comparison between the two sites.

Its not the flatness, its lack of design. See for example, https://www.sail.com.au/, which is flat too, but with a cohesive design.

A Big Mac in India costs $2.76 USD vs $5 in US. See the Big Mac Index [1]

I wonder if Apple would consider building a driver-less RV. That's something they could do really well.

Having spent 9 years in the military, I can say with some confidence that even soldiers are not willing to fight a war. War is evil. No one looks forward to it (except the generals). But when its thrust upon you, you rise up to the occasion and defend your motherland.

'International' exists outside of EU. Actually most of the problems mentioned above belong to the vast majority of people outside the developed west.

Gandhi had a particular fascination with toileting. I read in a biography that the first question he'd ask anyone in the morning was 'Have you had your bowel movements yet?"

I thought Soundcloud would truly become the 'Youtube of Audio'. But it seems to be trying to do too many things. Right now, there is no place on the internet where I could search a keyword and find relevant podcasts about a topic. Why can't Soundcloud do that? Just be the Youtube of podcasts, leave the music part to others.

There are some unofficial photos of the interior [1]. Its severely lacking, with a large screen just tacked on to the dashboard with no interface whatsoever. Musk says model 3 will be a smaller, less advanced version of the flagship S [2].

Your article highlights some of the key issues faced in this context, by both developers and designers. Fauxflake seems to be a completely developer oriented project, so there would probably be a marginal benefit from UX applied to it (of course docs and tutorials would make a difference). I think projects like Audacity that are meant to be used by the layman, probably stand to gain the highest with better design.

Agreed, but do you reckon its worth the effort to ask system programmers whether or not they'd be willing to accept UX contributions?

Thanks! I find Bootstrap to be one of the shining examples of great UX in open source projects. Their UI, documentation and overall experience is probably in the top 1% of all projects. I am looking for projects like Audacity and Calibre that really need a bit of UX work done.

Great idea, but I would've much preferred a mobile app for this, which could sync my contacts automatically, log my calls to each contact and let me enter notes. The desktop app seems good but seems like a lot of work for the user.

There is a cultural/ religious myth in the sub-continent that fresh, fast-flowing water is always safe to drink. This might have contributed to the failure of this leap.

There's a documentary on Netflix[0] that might explain why all the 'extra' sorties are needed. Provocation? Seeding? Who knows, but its an interesting connection.

Seems like a great project! Can this be used alongside the NAND to Tetris project[0] for understanding low level programming?

I like your sense of entitlement, but most of these devices are novelty stuff. You shouldn't expect your macbook or wifi router to not work 5% of the time, but I guess you could live a happy life with wireless speakers, light switches and bluetooth connections work 95% of the time.

> Watch screens are too small for anything but displaying simplistic stuff, let alone letting the user meaningfully and fluidly control the device.

I wonder if you've seen the rotating bezel of Samsung gear s3 in action, it might change your mind. But the watch UI is not the bottleneck, the constant wearing of a watch is.

So every comment has its own id?

Seems like a great idea! Just yesterday I created hn-comments[1], a collection of great comments made on HN. Can I embed a single comment as well? Edited for clarity.

Refreshing to see the lorem ipsum replaced with something meaningful.

The irony is its called Blackbox.

I also found Lisa Cron's book 'Wired for Story'[1] a great resource.
