I think that User-Centered Design (UCD) would be a better term here for what this concept is trying to say. In modern design, we tell user stories that help guide development of interfaces, including APIs.

The law of software bloat has been known since the 1980's. It's called Wirth's Law, or "What Intel giveth, Microsoft taketh away". See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirth%27s_law.
The total population is expected to increase by a billion people by 2030, which is 50 times larger than the expected maximum of 20 million jobs lost. Why would you assume that those 1 billion people are going to find…
This story made me think of an analogy about robot emotions. I use Alexa and she has a cheerful female voice. I could argue that Alexa has real emotions. Here's my argument. Imagine that a TV show has real emotions even…
The way I see it, there are at least four criteria for using a blockchain. 1. The goods are permanent, otherwise you don't need the history of the blockchain. 2. The goods are valuable, otherwise they aren't worth…
There are tablets in the front and back (https://cdn.geekwire.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Front-_-...). You were taught to drive manually, not in an Uber self-driving car. If you can find a video of an Uber driving…
I think it's incorrect to say that the woman was looking at her phone. She was looking down and to the right of the steering wheel, which is where Uber places a monitoring tablet (an iPad) in their self-driving vehicles…
I agree that they are not collecting personal information. They are collecting information about your computer system. According to the ICO definition of personal data, it means "any information relating to an…
Once the number of of Bitcoins approaches zero, the finite value of the Bitcoin ecosystem divided by zero coins approaches infinity. This will create a financial singularity that will open a payment gateway to the hell…
There's an informative flowchart on p. 3 of the linked PDF that describes the logic of this site. Your question is basically covered by "are there multiple writers?" since that implies decentralization, which also…
If you look at the graph in the article comparing different bubbles, Bitcoin peaked at 60 times the starting price, which is the largest relative peak in the graph. It is the largest in relative, not absolute, terms.
I don't see what the excitement is about blockchain. Can't you do the same stuff with SQL? Blockchain: * Separates your transactions into blocks and hashes the blocks together. * Uses proof-of-work to add new blocks. *…
I think you are giving far too much credit to a simple like button. It's the content of the user's post that the person is liking, not the genius of Facebook.
"We're the Rats, and Facebook Likes Are the Reward" - This argument has no validity. Facebook doesn't even dispense the likes, other users do. It isn't valid to compare likes to Skinner rewarding rats, because Facebook…
Your first guess was correct. "...autonomous weapons have been described as the third revolution in warfare, after gunpowder and nuclear arms." (https://futureoflife.org/open-letter-autonomous-weapons)
This may be what you're looking for: https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d12/tables/dt12_349.asp According to that table, women's bachelor's degrees in computer science: * were low in the 1970's, about 15% average *…

The Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HipHop_for_PHP) says "up to 6x", however, about 2x speedup versus plain PHP was a more typical experience for me when I used it before.
On the other hand, sports performance is easier to measure than professional, white-collar job performance. If they ever start measuring every stat about your daily job performance, then what you say would be true.…
No, learn by teaching. Duh.
If I were a brain in a vat, why would the truth or falsehood of my beliefs matter? I can't interact with the world from the vat.
Maybe we should crowd-fund science projects like we do Kickstarter projects. In the Internet Age, that's about as capitalistic as you can get.
Funny! Try skipping to the concluding sentence or paragraph. Or just reading the first sentence out of each paragraph. That's how I skim the long, boring stuff.
