I have a hand in some complex e-commerce flows and it’s really difficult. Similar to selecting a cell phone plan, a cable package, or a car trim level with options, but in a different space.
We have all sorts of information that consumers could use to understand what combination of products will give them only the features they want and maximize the discounts. The complexity comes mostly from third-party terms.
But putting even 20% of that information in one screen is just a horrible UX. And guiding them creates rigid journeys that they can’t break out from. This, despite some great UX design talent. It’s just a really hard problem.
Nobody wants users to have to learn all this crap, but protecting them from it means the optimal thing happens only if people choose exactly the right path.
Suggested amendment: the customers are CEOs dreaming of Wall Street seeing them as a CEO who will deliver a human-free work force. The press release is the product. The reality of payrolls are incidental to what they really want: stock price go up.
It's all optics, it's all grift, it's all gambling.
I don't buy the 'both sides' POV except in the longest historical view. Right now it's just not true.
One team is a feckless collection of timid hesitators who is trying to defend a social welfare policy from 70 years ago, and the other team believes their volatile leader is infallible and will direct revenge at whatever they are pointed to by the latest 3am tweet.

What is this referring to?
>and the other team believes their volatile leader is infallible and will direct revenge at whatever they are pointed to by the latest 3am tweet.
>It's just not the same.
What does this have to do with gp's claim about cycle of reprisals by both parties? It can be simultaneously possible to admit that the leader of one party is more sane than the other, and to observe that both parties are engaging in cycles of retaliation when they get in power, and that egging on even more retaliation is going to make the situation worse.
I was responding the effort to paint the two sides as equal.
The cycle-of-reprisals is a separate point. In a two-party system, transfer of power means change. The minority party will always paint that as reprisal, so if you judge by who-complains-the-loudest, they will look the same. The churn of claims and counter-claims by politicians in the media has become a game with very predictable behaviors.
But if you look at actions, IMO they behave very differently.

I think the reason we are in the situation we are in now is that the last administration wasn't nearly retaliatory _enough_ after J6

Jailing Hitler sure stopped his movement in its tracks! Or maybe we should have gone even further and set a precedent for to jail people for decades for having "dangerous" political opinions?
While I agree that the question of "are we jailing this person for their political opinions" gets into skeevy areas, if we refuse to enforce laws just because elections and politics are involved we might as well not have any laws that involve elections and politics (and I don't think "lawlessness starts at the top" is a recipe for a healthy society).

Then I suppose the situation will get worse? I don't understand the point of your analysis. This isn't a situation where people are swatting away olive branches - the Trump administration works hard to ensure that their political opponents are furious at them. They repeatedly state, in a variety of contexts, that they have no interest in finding common ground with the other party: it's good that you're miserable if you don't agree with their political objectives, and if you get in their way you deserve to be shot.
That's what I use. Oversight runs scripts on events, which is great. However! now you have the problem of rapid events with overlapping scripts ending up with inconsistent state. I solved that with a lock file, but still get stuck states sometimes.
I've seen this over and over - adults assuming that what happens in schools today is the same their childhood experience in the classroom, frozen in time.
Parents of school-age children ranting and raving about how the school needs to stop doing X, when it hasn't been that way forever; and they cannot hear it, cannot absorb it, cannot stop talking about it. Something something childhood trauma.
I tried it, but really shouldn't have as I am colorblind and so matches were quite difficult. Some color games have an option for a colorblind-safe palette, maybe consider that?
Sure, I have them turned on for most of my devices.
Colorblindness isn’t exactly fixed by filters, for a few reasons. They help for some colors, but not others. And each person’s experience is different based on their specific deficiencies.
Anyway, this is a color-based game and that’s probably what it needs to be (unless size or shape could vary enough to substitute), so I’m not in the target audience.
My intuition says that with vertical walls, the problem collapses to 2d, but that 2d is a cross section of a 3d shape, and an infinite number of 3d shapes can hold that as the max cross section envelope.
But sure, click that download link, what's the worst that could happen? Get turned into a donkey and swallowed by a whale?
