    Britain can trivially fork the EU regs and then carry on with rules they can tune better to how the British people want things. You're on a forum where this concept of 'forking' is common knowledge and yet you squee about vast unknown terribleness. So pitiful, it's difficult to believe you are being serious.

    "The wrong side" won, and all the smartest people in the room will never get over it.

    Plus, their globalist masters have immense wealth to support the hue and cry.

    Kill Apple. Microsoft is already hobbled, plus the whole Microsoft leviathan was created by Apple's litigious adventures in the 80s - early 90s that ran gui competitors out of business. Killing all the lawyers would be an overreach. Killing all the Apple lawyers would be therapeutic.

    There is a bit of American exceptionalism at play.

  5. Just look at AIPAC. They don't care about protecting the U.S. They care about protecting Israel. The U.S. is secondary in their overall aims.

    Israel is far more vulnerable than the US. The organization is formed around the principles of defending Israel. You're accusing a brown rabbit of having brown fur.

    And when the EU is broken up everybody can learn to play nicely.

    We'll have to see, though, if Germany is capable of that.

    Blame the Democrats for nominating a turd and then scampering for two years to try to deflect the blame for Trump's electoral success.

    You are't having a debate if you start out by calling them 'haters.' You're simply engaging in cult-belief reinforcement activities. To be fair, the people you are 'debating' with might also be in a cult.

    I, for one, can clearly see that, everytime a Tesla car taken apart (for reverse engineering?), what found is innovation after innovation!

    Design quirk after design quirk. What else would you expect when a bunch of SV Web developers set out to design a car? Some small fraction of whats thrown up at the wall won't slide off.

    But all such study examines is the accidents. Obviously 'good driving' is difficult to define, but accidents are just artifacts. That is ALL that they are. Would you agree to assessing the quality of a software system by only examining any resultant core dumps?

    There isn't enough data yet.

    All present findings are statistically insignificant. The reality has to scale out to the entire population before it means anything.

    Yes. People for whom cars are an afterthought need to be included in the data, which at this point means many more people than current Tesla owners.

    I am not an idiot. A portal that allows one-step comprehensive capture of everything gathered about them in a profile should simply not be available.

    If all you have is the ID and password, in seconds you can have everything else. Certainly faster than some people will be able to change their ID/Password if they even realize it's compromised.

    But go around calling people idiots. It really helps build your case in the discussion.

    Is it because people right here in this discusison keep conflating UI/UX design with some sort of frilly artistic bullshit?

    It's design of a user interface. Not it's artistic merit. Not what it looks like. That is widget design, which comes after UI/UX design.

    The User Interface is the buttons, hierarchy of menu, graphical cues, etc. It can all be written as a guideline, which it actually for the most part has been designed and just needs consistent implementation. Everybody has their boutique obsessions, the CUA just needs a little updating.

  25. It really isn't that hard. We need to emphasize the usability part of design, not the 'appearance' part. User interface and user experience have little to do with 'artistic' and much more to do with human factors. We do NOT need a free-software Jony Ives, for pete's sake.

    Just some well designed guidelines that people can work from. Coherent, consistent, and intuitive. It's easy to toss those words out, much more challenging to actually accomplish, but it's the kind of thing that only needs to be done once or a few times.
