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.

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.

> 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.
