I mean most of my searches are probably pretty easy to find, I just don't want to go to the website I'm thinking of and click through 5 pages to get there.
Testing is how you learn and quantify how much something is disliked, or used, or leads to conversions. This is the perfect fit.
I prefer the 1-column layout (user since it was rapgenius.com). If they got angry emails from their users about their UX, and they decided to set up a test to improve it, that's not in the spirit of degrading the UX.
Yes that's anti-vax. We get vaccinated not just to protect ourselves from death, but also to protect those around us by reducing the transmission of disease.
Except that all the existing evidence suggests your argument is backwards. Whilst Covid-19 vaccination doesn't provide full protection for either the vaccinated or those around them, it seems to be much more effective at protecting the person being vaccinated against severe symptoms, hospitalization and death than it does at stopping them catching and spreading the virus to others. As far as I can tell, literally the only reason vaccination is primarily framed as a way of protecting others is because that framing fits better into left-wing politics; it has nothing to do with the actual evidence.
According to the CDC, each vaccine efficacy at preventing the recipient from catching the virus. To your point they also reduces severity of symptoms. Looks like the J&J one ain't that great at prevention.
Based on evidence from clinical trials in people 16 years and older, the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was 95% effective at preventing laboratory-confirmed infection with the virus that causes COVID-19 in people who received two doses and had no evidence of being previously infected.
Based on evidence from clinical trials, in people aged 18 years and older, the Moderna vaccine was 94.1% effective at preventing laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infection in people who received two doses and had no evidence of being previously infected.
The J&J/Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine was 66.3% effective in clinical trials (efficacy) at preventing laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infection in people who received the vaccine and had no evidence of being previously infected. People had the most protection 2 weeks after getting vaccinated.
That's from the clinical trials, which are like two variants behind what people are actually being exposed to in the wild right now. The vaccines are much less effective at preventing people from catching and spreading the currently-circulating Delta variant than the original one which those numbers were based on. Firstly, they don't stop people from catching the virus nearly as well, and secondly vaccinated people who do catch the virus seem to have comparable viral load and spread it just as well as the unvaccinated. Also, the Delta variant is just better at spreading in general, which itself means a more effective vaccine would be needed in order to prevent everyone from inevitably catching it.
It's more nuanced than that. Prior to the delta variant, there was strong evidence that the vaccines also prevented you from being a carrier of the virus in most cases.
The calculus with delta is different, as it does seem that vaccinated people can spread delta. But the severity of that spread, as well as the amount of time a vaccinated person can spread it, is certainly lower than that of an unvaccinated person.
Compared to 2009?! You don't trust Coinbase in 2021 any more than you did Cryptsy in 2013?
PS if you want to do the whole "volatile prices!" fear mongering you can do WAY better than 50% price drops. You also accidentally criticize the US dollar here, USD saw a 30% decline in the early 2000s and analysts predict a possible decline of 30-35% in the broad dollar index soon. Is that how a currency "should" hold its value?
I don't trust it now, and wouldn't have in 2009 either.
I trust the US dollar because it is very stable. There's a crisis now because we're looking at roughly 5% year-over-year inflation compared to a goal of 2% -- meanwhile crypto swings 10% every damn day!
The dollar crashed 30% in the 2000s (and the 80s, and the 70s, and probably the '10s). Soon it will be because of trade wars and losing value to the euro and the yuan though.
To your point, remember when the crypto market had a net loss of almost 3000 points in a single day in March 2020?! Oh wait, that was the Dow, sorry.
So you don't trust the stock market or the assets that back it either, do you? It swings 10% or more some days!
Oh you just said "crypto," you never mentioned a currency. Do we get to include the overcollateralized stablecoins or are we just cherrypicking volatile ones?
Do you have any experience buying or using cryptocurrency in the last 10 years?

It's just a "z" with a ton of combining diacritics. Which is entirely irrelevant. x-height is a dimension of the font, it's nothing to do with an individual character. (In most Latin fonts, it'll match the height of the "x" glyph, but that's not a hard and fast rule.)
I'm not sure what you're asking. As a software developer, supporting negative leading isn't hard, but as an end user (as I was in the example above) that's no help if the software developer hasn't done the work.
- A sunken super container ship in the canal, rather than a floating one. Removing the wreckage would be at least an order of magnitude more work than floating the thing away.
- Thousands of containers floating / sunk in the canal. How much damage can one of those do to the propeller of a ship?
Thank you, I know it's a dumb question. Wondering about the cost/effectiveness of demolition of the ship vs the daily costs of having the canal blocked. I thought it might be like using explosives to dispose of whale carcasses.
My information on the topic comes from actual sex workers or women who know them (eg aminadujean, Naomi Wu) whose experience is that anti-trafficing is usually used to try to criminalize their work for their own protection.
> anti-trafficing [sic] is usually used to try to criminalize their work
I understand you have anecdotes from 2 women which describe non-coerced criminalized sex work, which is not sex trafficking.
My information comes from decades of global, publicly available and verified data. Sex trafficking is a real thing, and you delegitimize its victims when you say otherwise.
(you really don't have to put the emphasis on how much you dislike their spelling of trafficking, everyone can see it's a direct quote and it distracts from the rest of your post)
