Google Lens has had the feature for more than a year now and it's incredibly useful. I wonder how the accuracy of Apple's version will compare.

We don't search for things because they're easy to find

Have you ever worked on multivariate tests?

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.

It reduces the chance of transmission. That's how it protects others...

> Vaccination only protects you

False. Vaccinated people can still get sick, and vaccination reduces the spread of disease, protecting people that aren't you.

> should I get vaccinated? I'll go no.

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.

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?

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!

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?

Is this app-development specific? In CSS the font-size and leading are easily decoupled.

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.

Why wouldn't it be more cost-effective or unreasonable to destroy the ship?

Your explanation is longer and harder to understand. (How do you "invoke" Bernoulli's principle?)

The spelling's wrong, not disliked. To your point--it's poor form to mark the same mistake twice.

> 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.

> Sex trafficing [sic] is not a real thing

Human trafficking (for non-sexual exploitation), sex trafficking, and non-coerced criminalized sex work have differences; but they all are very real.

Why is this better than media queries? The user rarely drags the window edge back and forth, and if they do, they do it one time to resize the window.

It's been explored for years. Here's an article from 5 years ago: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2016/05/fluid-typography/

Then what's the point of the demo? Dragging the edge of the browser window make type scale fluidly? Typically the user is at a fixed viewport size, or they change to one or two other ones when the window is resized.

Viewport-relative widths are a poor practice for accessibility, in general (maybe you don't care for your small personal website). The user can't set their own preferred size, font-size becomes illegible at small sizes, and way too large on large viewports (2160px is becoming more common). It breaks zoom on some browsers as well.

The clamp() examples here mitigate that somewhat, but why do we need fluid shifts in text size? Just use media queries.
