Contextual delete confirmation, prototyped in Figma Why this matters?... Traditional delete modals often break the flow. They interrupt the user's context by pulling them into a separate layer just to confirm an action. On top of that, these modal typically lack a clear visual or spatial association with the element being deleted. The positioning feels arbitrary—detached from the target item—which can create hesitation or uncertainty for the user. To solve these issues, I designed a contextual delete confirmation that appears directly beneath the target element. Unlike traditional modals that pull users out of the flow and feel disconnected from the action they’re confirming, this approach keeps everything in context. By anchoring the confirmation to the element itself, it reinforces the association and reduces cognitive load—users instantly understand what they’re about to delete without losing their place or momentum.show more

Design Engineering Tip: Add friction at the end of... a scroll interaction. When users reach the edge of a scrollable area, the movement should not just stop instantly. A subtle resistance, bounce, or slowdown can make the interface feel more physical and less mechanical. It helps users understand that they reached a boundary without needing extra labels or visual indicators. Used carefully, this can make scrolling feel more natural and closer to how objects behave in the real world.show more

One of the most common mistakes manufacturers make is... relying on engineering logic to shape user behavior, while ignoring how users actually feel. Engineers often believe that as long as a feature exists, moves, or looks different, users will appreciate it. Users, however, care about something much simpler: whether the experience feels natural, refined, and intuitive. Great user experience is never created by stacking options. It is created by coherence and emotional consistency. Samsung’s recent update to Lock Star is a clear example. The new version introduces unlock animations that appear to add playfulness, yet the real experience feels disappointing. Many of these animations come across as childish, low level, poorly connected, and mechanically rigid. They feel closer to children’s UI effects than something designed for Samsung’s broad premium user base. The issue is not the presence of animations themselves. The problem lies in the mindset behind them. These effects are clearly driven by implementation logic rather than user perception. The assumption seems to be that adding visual flair automatically creates delight, while ignoring rhythm, emotional tone, and aesthetic maturity. This reflects a long standing pattern in Samsung’s software design. Random stickers, cartoon like emojis, and decorative elements often appear without a cohesive design language. There is a belief that younger users are attracted to these visuals, yet for Gen Z, such elements often feel outdated, immature, and disconnected from a premium identity. Strong product design allows user experience to constrain engineering decisions. When engineering begins to entertain itself, users quietly begin to disengage. Let's see how far apart Samsung and Xiaomi are.show more

In aeronautics, a spoiler (sometimes called a lift spoiler)... is a device which intentionally reduces the lift component of an airfoil in a controlled way. Most often, spoilers are plates on the top surface of a wing that can be extended upward into the airflow to spoil the streamline flow. By so doing, the spoiler creates a controlled stall over the portion of the wing behind it, greatly reducing the lift of that wing section. Spoilers differ from airbrakes in that airbrakes are designed to increase drag without disrupting the lift distribution across the wing span, while spoilers disrupt the lift distribution as well as increasing drag.show more

The US knew Israel was going to attack Iran,... and the response would target US assets in the region. This is confirmation that Israel forced the US to attack Iran. The often used argument of "the tail don't wag the dog" does is not true. Israel has total control over the US, they can do it through overt orders or forcing the hands of the US, knowing the US government would not retaliate. This is not a conspiracy anymore, it's the truth.show more

This presents a perfect opportunity to highlight our study.... The contrast in contextual awareness is striking—while the left recognizes and can demonstrate that these border measures already existed, the right remains largely uninformed. Instead, they celebrate a supposed victory, unaware that they are being misled. The repetition of these narratives within their echo chamber creates a powerful illusory truth effect, where even blatant falsehoods begin to feel like undeniable truths. No one within their sphere corrects them, and we’re dismissed outright—just “libtards,” after all. But what happens when Fox News refuses to acknowledge reality? When their followers mindlessly echo those talking points here? The cycle continues, reinforcing deception under the guise of truth. Eventually they get to the point of the last video. The confidence…and they’re wrong about 90% of the time because they’re not being told the truth.show more

Stablecoin regulation has arrived, and here’s why it matters... for merchants: After years of uncertainty, stablecoins are now supported by clear regulations in the US, EU, and UK. They are no longer seen as just a speculative technology. They are now a practical, regulated option for payments. For merchants, this opens the door to faster settlements, lower costs, improved cash flow, and a smoother checkout experience. With regulatory clarity in place, businesses can adopt stablecoins without hesitation. The opportunity is real. The path is clear. Now, it’s all about execution. Read the full blog:show more

“I repeat, Kill the Boer, the Farmer”, how can... anyone in their right mind say this is not incitement of violence, not even mentioning hate speech? These guys feel nothing for South Africa! After this week and everything that happened with the presidents US visit, these breakers continued with their hate in Koppies in the Free State province this weekend. This is again another element that makes a farm attack a unique crime. It is the only violent crime in South Africa that is celebrated by song, hateful political rhetoric and welcomed on social media. The singing of this hateful song has never been publicly condemned by the South African government. (To a certain extent in Washington this week, only after being cornered?)show more

Hexagons and Octagons Those who follow football and coaching... will be well aware that there are trends that emerge and become the great break through in coaching, only to vanish quite quickly. A few stick around and become a staple. Such as the rondo, or the 4v4+4 Guardiola rondo variation. One that did not stick around in the coaching collective consciousness that possible should have was Thomas Tuchel’s use of hexagonal and octagonal playing areas in training sessions. Tuchel explained that cutting off the corners and angling the pitch forced “sharp diagonal” passes that would help break the press. The positioning of players outside the hexagon/octagon or players close to the edges will be manipulated into an open body shape by the angles of the pitch. Players are impacted by environmental constraints and embodied cognition, where the geography of the playing area influences their actions. This influence spreads to the creation of triangles and diamonds within the playing area due to the “funnel” like nature of the playing area. We can use the cut outside angles by placing bounce or target players on the exterior, influencing the movement and organisation internally. The inside players will not have to move wide as those areas are occupied. The internal players will seek to create passing angles using the positioning of the outside players and their internal team mates. The diamonds and triangles will appear. If we leave the spaces on the outside empty players can move to fill the spaces. These act as free spaces to receive from the goalkeeper or open spaces for attackers to overlap into, encouraging attacking combination play and crosses. A different way of using the space is to remove goals and goalkeepers from the ends and place bounce/target players on the outside. Players now can combine with the outside players, when they do so they are then free to finish into the outside goals. The condition can be extended to combining with the target player in the opposite side of the pitch before scoring, adding an element of switching play. The hexagon and octagon are versatile spaces that help to replicate aspects of the game. By funneling the spaces we impact players body shape, ability to play forward quickly, team shape (or small group shapes), players cutting in, defending centrally, the types of combination used and the angles of line breaking pass (diagonals). The angles are hugely significant for teams that value combinations and possession football, Straight passes and receiving angles are much easier to intercept and carry high risks for being counter attacked. Short diagonals can bypass players and attacking shapes, creating angled connections. If an angles pass is given away there is still a risk of being counter attacked but there is more chance of having players around the ball to regain possession. To counter press. The question that emerges is should we then be using hexagons and octagons more? If they are of greater benefit than squares and rectangles, why use them? Should all pitches, including those of a small sided nature be hexagonal? Can the rondo square be replaced by the rondo octagon?show more

The Australian government does not deserve our trust, or... our respect. Today, Minister Penny Wong sat back in her chair grappling for words, desperately looking for the right lie to tell. It is worse than dishonest - it is an absolute lack of care. Penny Wong came to this country when she was 8 years old. She came to a country that afforded her the ability to become who she is, and she is now doing her part to destroy it. Back in the 70’s, when she came, Australia was a fair-minded place and a great place to be. Yet here she is... Here in Australia. Undermining our country and lying to our faces. Because she can’t tell the truth. Because if she did, it would destroy any semblance of care for Australia tied to her old party’s Labor brand. It would say the quiet part out loud. The truth. The truth that the Albanese government is more interested in the fortunes of the ISIS brides, women who chose to leave this country to go and fight against our people, than those of us that can’t find or afford a place to live here at home. I am tired of being told how to think by people that completely lack morals and couldn’t care less. People that are elected and paid to operate in the national interest but always put their twisted ethics and back pockets ahead of our nation and our people. I don’t know when Labor stopped caring about Australian workers or worse, when they started hating Australia, but they have and they do. The absolute lack of opposition, the lack of authentic choice has pushed us into a place where these absolute traitors to the interests of the people who pay them - goes entirely unchecked. We are careening out of control, unchecked migration, an energy grid that is just about to collapse, no industry to speak of, and no good reason to start or maintain a business in this place. It happened fast, but those of us who pay our taxes and take risks to make Australia a better place, are being undermined and white-anted by our politicians. The people we are forced to trust, and must pretend to respect, because they have the force of law on their side. Not because they are any good at their jobs. Not because they have earned our affection. No. Simply because they are in charge and there is little to nothing that can be done about it. It is becoming apparent that the two party system has outlived its useful life. Too much corruption, too many words too carefully chosen in a pantomime between to political forces that don’t really want to change anything. They just want to have their go, to have their turn to jam their grubby hands into the till. Surely with this major and catastrophic failure by the so-called Honourable Minister Senator Wong, the people will be able to see through the veil and into the absolute and irresponsible lack of care at the heart of this deceitful Labor government. They lie about everything, and they can, because they don’t have an opposition worthy of the title. I am growing more confident by the day that the only solution to our woes is a new political force, a fresh, Australia first force, that will act in the national interest and put all these corrupt and useless used-car salesmen red and blue in the dustbin of history. It can’t come soon enough. Time is short. I just want Australia back.show more

im sorry but this is a very good example... why detailed, full of context leaks from “extras” and randos on set are fake or full of shit in 99% of cases… if an actor cant place a scene based on dialogue, I promise you an extra that saw 30 seconds of a scene (if) can’t draw context from it and tell you what is going on in the episode/season/with characters. you can get: outfits, maybe a line or two if they even manage to hear it and actually remember it, what they THINK is going on and if they’re composed enough to pay attention to a clapperboard and ADs, maybe an episode and a scene number (that is usually not the case tho)show more

Trans-identified males are obsessed with the notion that they... will be raped or abused if they use male spaces. The reason for this obsession is that, more often than not, they are using porn that depicts women being bound and / or assaulted (or men 'forcibly' transformed into women by way of sexual abuse), which they find sexually thrilling. It is a masochistic humiliation fetish. Such men see being a woman as something humiliating. (And by the time they begin "identifying" as a little girl, they've already consumed a substantial amount of BDSM content.) When these concepts are repeated in the media, the result is not only to validate the fetish, but also to humiliate women, by proxy, for the pleasure of men with this fetish.show more

So, my opinion on what the Antarctic (Antarctica) Anomaly... is that it's a type of frequency technology. It must be way more powerful than HAARP, as many have claimed it to be, because we would see these anomalies at other HAARP sites, and we don't, not like this. With that said, and I'm very much trying to avoid letting what I want it to be not play a part here, I think it is a technology that is being used either off the coast of Antarctica itself or Bouvet Island. A third possibility is an area just to the northwest of the island that looks odd. It's possible it is a sonar scan from a ship, but why in that remote location? It looks like an antenna set up or rows of something that is out of place. I also believe that the weather events and fires that have taken place in Africa could possibly have been because of this. Each time we saw the anomaly, it was followed by a destructive weather event in Africa. A weird connection to that is we have been told and warned of a very busy 2024 Atlantic hurricane season. This is in part because of the above-average Atlantic ocean temperatures, which is the fuel to Hurricanes. With all this info, it's possible to see how the Anomaly could be a frequency tech that can manipulate or create weather, And or WARM up the Ocean temps to purposely enhance the Hurricane season and Storm growth. Keep in mind that many of our hurricanes and many of the biggest hurricanes have come from the west coast of Africa and form over the Cape Verde islands before heading towards the Caribbean and the United States. This is all of course speculation, and I'm learning many new things every day, so this idea may morph over time as we learn more. In the end, it is very hard to ignore all these findings. #antarctica #anonaly #AntarcticaAnomaly #BouvetIslandshow more

There are many cryptocurrencies, each designed to serve a... unique purpose. XRP is designed to help move money quickly and efficiently. It’s often discussed in the context of payments that settle faster and with lower fees than traditional systems. XRP can also act as a bridge between different currencies, helping value move from one place to another without relying on multiple intermediaries. Faster settlement and lower costs can make payments more accessible for businesses, institutions, and everyday users around the world.show more

If I was asked to give a single piece... of advice to the world, it would be these three words: Bias toward action. Too many people wait for the right time, the right circumstances, or the right feeling before doing something. So they end up doing nothing… paralyzed by fear, uncertainty, and doubt. Take Margot’s advice: Have that hard conversation Say hi to that cute guy/girl Say yes to that invitation Ask for that promotion Start that side hustle Go to that meetup Post that tweet Take that trip Consistently biasing toward action makes success inevitable. Not just because effort produces results, but because action is fuel for serendipity—the most powerful unseen force in the universe. 🎟️ Raffle tickets often say, “Must be present to claim prize”. Life works the same way. The biggest wins look like luck, but they’re really the inevitable result of showing up over and over. Everything you want is downstream from action. Do something. Anything. When you start to walk the way, the way appears.show more

‼️BREAKING: NEVER BEFORE SEEN VIDEO—Directly From TPUSA Employee Of... The Charlie Kirk UVU Event ON 9/10 👀 I Have obtained 3 new videos and a still image taken directly from TPUSA of Charlie at the UVU event on 9/10. These were distributed internally through an employee group chat and were then deleted shortly after the incident took place. A TPUSA employee had the wherewithal to save these videos before they were deleted though and sent them to me. Parts of these videos have been used by TPUSA in various Tribute videos, etc however the full videos have not been seen until now; to my knowledge. On the vertical video of Charlie throwing hats if you zoom in at the end, you can see what appears to potentially be someone on the roof of the Losee Bldg. Not sure if it's actually a person or something else but someone with better software might want to look into that. CC: Candace Owens Baron Colemanshow more

Here is the guy and the two ladies stopping... traffic in the middle of the street. You can hear him yelling at the person in the white SUV. You can see the border patrol agents parked across the street in front of the place where they were going to arrest the criminal illegal alien and coming out of their cars. You can then see the two women go right towards the agent who was by his car and stand in front of him obstructing an active operation. It can't be seen in this video but we know from other videos that the guy went across the street to the area where the agents were. The two women and the guy all inserted themselves in an active operation. This is dangerous for officers and for the public. These officers have only a few minutes to get in there, execute the warrant, arrest the illegal alien (who may be armed since he is a criminal) and pull him out into their car. These people are going after these officers with loud whistles, blocking traffic, confronting them. The people out there applauding this behavior, saying that it is citizens' right to do that, or instigating it are putting civilians in danger.show more

SUV goes flying over a Michigan highway, barely missing... a driver. I've always wondered what it would look like for a car to jump off one of these hills. The clip was originally posted to Reddit by a user named StormCamperTTV who didn't provide context. A different user however named GoldenGarbear said they witnessed the aftermath of the crash. "I couldn't see all of it but I was getting off at that exit and you could see the tracks in the grass going up the hill and the guard rail was pretty mangled." "The police had also blocked off the on-ramps, and there were a bunch of emergency vehicles around." In an edit, the user said the following: "I just spoke with the officer at the school I work at, and apparently, the lady was conscious and responsive. No sign of intoxication or a medical cause of the crash." The crash appeared to take place on the I-75.show more

These past few years have given everyone an incredible... opportunity to see what lies beneath the mask. From their standpoint, I suppose it’s a logical move. They used to pretend to be friends of the Chinese people, speaking directly to them about “liberating” them. Now that the absurdity of this farce is comically obvious, there’s no point keeping up the act. They can finally admit what they always wanted: to destroy China and the livelihoods of its people.show more

“There is a tension between what the users of... a currency want – and the users of a currency tend to like freedom, autonomy, and discretion as to what they spent their money on – and what the issuers of a currency want; and bluntly, the issuers of a currency want control. Control of monetary policy, and control of you.” The Bank of England’s consultation papers make very clear the level of control that they wish to exercise over you, and over your supposed financial autonomy, if you were to use their #DigitalPound. (1) You’ll need to provide ID in order to use the #DigitalPound: “For the digital pound, tiered access would allow for different levels of user access and functionality based on the amount of identification (ID) a user is willing or able to provide.” (2) The Bank will dictate how much you can hold: “The Bank would place some limits on holdings of digital pounds, at least during its introductory period.” (3) The digital pound will be programmable, if not by the Bank itself then by third party providers: “Programmability, delivered by Payment Interface Providers, could also enable the use of smart contracts, which carry out specific actions based on pre-defined terms and conditions.” Quotes are from from the Bank of England’s Digital Pound consultation paper: Whatever the #DigitalPound will be, it won’t be cash. Cash does not require me to show ID to use it. I can hold as much cash as I want or need. And, along with #Bitcoin, cash is a bearer instrument whose title is freely transferrable upon delivery, which is very difficult for a central bank to control. And long may it stay this way. A huge shout out and thank you to Lyn Alden, who made this point much more eloquently than I did in her excellent book #BrokenMoney. Thank you! Also I’m aware that my hand gestures in this clip are reminiscent of Richard Hendricks manipulating ‘datas’ on stage at TechCrunch Disrupt in #SiliconValley, and for this I can only apologize: #BitcoinConference #Amsterdam #NoToCBDCsshow more
