How do you get around restaurant and food prep regulations? Once an event is public and payment is made for services some very strick government controls come into play. Or am I misunderstanding what is going on here?
The app was posted to a Twitter account with 150,000 followers. A reach that large only produced 40 sales (0.027% conversion). OP is using it as an example of how ineffective Twitter is as a marketing avenue. It's not an example of cognitive dissonance.
There is no data in the article to back up the author's hypothesis. Further no control for colors or even action/offer button language. I have read other papers with data and conducted my own UX studies that show completely different results.
I really would but I'll have to check with my clients. They were commissioned reports. Perhaps once I get everything compiled into something consumable by the public I'll release it as it's own HN post.
The gist of it was that to drive interaction with a website, cursor position is more important than following the "active corners" design philosophy.
So from a pure graphic design point of view placing the action button in the lower right is correct. We all learned that in design class.
However if you want people to actually interact with your action button then it's better to put it closer to where the cursor normally resides. All of my heat map testing shows there to be a natural cursor well on the left hand side.
Yes, that's very true. I believe the point here though is to play to your strengths for the good of the project. If someone else is better at the detail work then let them do it. The project as a whole will be better produced and that's your end goal. We're not here to build character by completing unwelcome tasks, we're here to build products.
It allows you to absorb a larger number of heavy blows to the head without showing any outward damage. There is an argument that the risk of brain damage is therefor greater because the bouts go on longer. I personally haven't read any studies on the matter so I can't comment on the medical validity. In practice I prefer to fight without headgear. This is completely subjective but I feel sharper afterwards, whereas 6-8 rounds with headgear leave me foggy for a day or two.
It is interesting. Technically it should be the same amount of energy transferred but without localised damage (eg, concentration of force through a knuckle into an area of bone or tissue). The head will still be jarred, so your point is pretty solid.
Regardless, though, in this specific example - if one of these guys throws a stray fist to the mouth or jaw (not so much for body shots because they're not exactly doing much of a job of it), its likely to break something, and if they are boxing in a training only setting or socially they're not going to be taking enough blows for concussion / brain damage to be a real issue.
