The exoskeleton analogy seems to be fitting where my work-mode is configurable: moving from tentative to trusting. But the AI needs to be explicitly set up to learn my every action. Currently this is a chore at best, just impossible in other cases.

Hmm, may be you're right about UX designers not wanting to explain. For instance, I certainly won't want that vertical bar for aesthetic reasons. It's just hard to defend objectively.

False. Read Oxfam's report on the topic: https://www.oxfam.org/en/research/takers-not-makers-unjust-p...

Agree, except the product price could be right on the buy button. Now the analytics won't tell you whether I clicked on the buy button with an intent to buy, or did I just want to know how much it is.

There's a video about an octopus solving a maze: https://youtu.be/7__r4FVj-EI?si=FH2QsL7BxlJ4h7KF. You could call that reactionary too, but at some point we have to admit octopuses do have a higher level of intelligence than we'd assume from an animal their size.

https://adnankhan.space/ Just a couple of posts there atm, I write about usability, interaction design, service design and other things that sit on the UX spectrum of work!

They're just advertising the tech and the platform. Probably so people could come up with some real use cases and apps for it... otherwise what's the point of introducing it a year earlier.

Elon now reminds me of the many characters talked about in 'Ego is the enemy' https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27036528-ego-is-the-enem...

My biggest gripe with Youtube right now is how they've left channel subscription just as a long list. I have hundreds of subscriptions, and they are clearly around a few of my interests...

Great. This is from 50 years ago, and many of the ideas shown have come true. What about the next 50 years? Any video suggesting what we'd be able to see around the house in 2070?

I'd like to read a newsletter named MetaMuffin.

Won't Spotify be able to tell dislikes by how quickly someone skips to the next song?

It does more than export an image, see here: https://github.com/carbon-app/carbon#exporting--sharing

In Pakistan, the Peshawar airport has a railway line crossing through the airport runway.

How do you give multiple chances to say no? Is it like persisting with further offerings or different pricing etc?

I have no affiliation with the author, but he's provided reasoning as to why he thinks the design doesn't work for him. You can window-dress the wording, but that's essentially what the article is about.

What are your reasons for 'trashing' the importance of the address bar and the need for 35 tabs?

Practically speaking, you end up using colours many more than 3. Even designing a button needs a base colour, a hover state colour, a clicked state colour and sometimes border colours too. You can ‘wing’ it by using sass ‘darken’ etc as someone stated above, but I’ve found that to be interpreted differently by different browsers, and it’s just better to anticipate these needs and come up with the required colour stops upfront.

Love the idea. Would be interesting on the mobile.

https://historyofphilosophy.net/ has a great series on the history of philosophy.

In icon sets, variations in stroke thickness is a bad idea, without changing the context. People who can't evaluate design issues would simply categorise the product as "something's off here", or "I don't trust this". Your iconography has an impact at a deeper level.

Designing user research around watching people do something, and figuring out their needs is something I've covered in a recent post: https://adnankhan.space/user-research/2020/01/28/ask-users-f.... The idea is that your research objectives could be very different from what you're actually testing.

Ahem... this three-eyed raven is causing serious trypophobia for me. Wonder how it passed Apple's usual aesthetic design standards.

Not sure about how it actually works. I couldn't find the information around how you actually 'give' internet to people? Do they use their own device, or do you provide a device as well? What happens when the funding for someone runs out?

I come to HN for comments like this.

Redesigns are not just about a fresh look and feel. Features get added, some get removed. New user cohorts join in. Improvements in devices enable new capabilities. Changes in system software enable new ways of interaction. Of course, over time, a redesign becomes necessary.

This highlights a fundamental truth about human psychology. People want to have fun without having to do much. If the boots were simply powered, as in, the person wearing them didn't have to walk in order to move from A to B, it might've attracted a large following. In fact, check out the [0] Segway Drift W1

Not a joke, if you care to look outside the West.

Chrome Bookmarks Manager. Since its removal I haven't been able to find a good alternative for saving bookmarks on Chrome.

As a tourist in Kuala lumpur last year, I had better experiences with Grab trips. They accepted cash, drivers seemed to be happier and fare was slightly cheaper.
