“We don’t have the luxury of failing”: what it takes to preserve Indigenous farming systems in North-East India
The Northeastern Region of India is separated from the rest of the mainland by a thin stretch of land called the Siliguri Corridor. At its narrowest, it’s only 20 kilometres wide, sitting above Bangladesh and below Nepal – a relic of the brutal way that land was divided during Partition in 1947. Today, a significant proportion of the agricultural industry in the region is dedicated to rice crops and other cereals, as well as its infamous Assam tea.

The Rise and Fall of Invision
The results of the UxTool’s 2020 Survey are in. One of the biggest takeaways? Things aren’t looking great for Invision. Usage for prototyping & handoff is way down In 2017 the Design Tools survey showed Invision leading its category as a prototyping tool with 60% of respondents indicating they used it. In 2020 that share has fallen to 23% with more than half of that number only using it as a secondary tool.
Redesigning Design for Sustainability
Designers are typically appropriated by corporations to enhance the enterprise’s position in the marketplace by way of enhanced product or branding aesthetics; their work functions for the commercial profit of wealthy institutions, and in that way loses its ontological power to transform the public’s relationships.
The Moral Failure of Crowdfunding Health Care
The rise of crowdfunding on sites like GoFundMe reflects — and potentially worsens — inequities already at play in US health care, according to new research. By Jonathan Hiskes GoFundMe homepage image If you’re going to raise money for your medical bills on a website like GoFundMe or GiveForward, it’s best to have the right kind of disease. Be sure to have a curable condition — terminal cases are unappealing to potential funders.
MacGyver Science: Thief + Painting + Auction + Viro-486 + Justice
Season 5 Episode 2. Picking a Lock with a Swiss Army Knife OK, I just want to be clear. The concept of picking a lock isn’t that difficult. You need two things — something to torque the lock and then something to push the pins up. MacGyver uses his knife to apply torque and the toothpick to push up the pins. Here is the famous (infamous) MIT lock picking guide. Mercury Switch Bomb (fake) It’s not a Mac-hack, it’s the thief. She puts a package in MacGyver’s hand and says that it’s a mercury switch bomb.
An Enquiry: On What Lies Between
Exploring connectedness, connectivity & connectorship Photo credit: Sam Baumber We are so used to looking at objects. We look, and we see things. People, trees, birds and bees. My organisation and your organisation. Discrete items — each one apart from another. But what if — instead of separation — we saw connection? What if we could see what lies between? The glue that holds it all together.
Apple iOS 14.2 Rolls Out With 100+ Emoji, New Wallpapers, Bug Fixes
Cupertino also released iPadOS 14.2, tvOS 14.2, and watchOS 7.1. By Stephanie Mlot Apple is bringing some order to an otherwise uncertain time with this week’s release of more than 100 new emoji. The main attraction of iOS and iPadOS 14.2 is the rollout of fresh-faced symbols, which includes everything from animals and food to household objects and musical instruments, as well as a handful of gender-inclusive options.

What do you do with an angry veteran, when they stop being an angry veteran?
What do you do with an angry veteran, when they stop being an angry veteran? Some events this week conspired to bring me pause, anger, sadness, despair, resignation, and ultimately to reflection — and they weren’t COVID related. The acquisition of Task and Purpose, along with the shuttering of NYTimes “At War” made me wonder, what is in store for the future of veteran stories? In 2013, I ended my active duty service in the Marine Corps, and immediately went to work on an oil-rig.
Why climate change needs creative thinking
When it comes to talking about transformative change that can decelerate – or, dare I say, resolve – the climate crisis, we often get stuck thinking about what we could achieve, failing also to think about some of the barriers that hold us back. Physical, social, cultural, psychological or economic, these barriers hold us back from taking tangible action, not just as individuals, but also as collectives and members of global systems.
反修例民意匯集
先前和大家分享過監警會報告附錄的警察內部調查，這次和大家討論附錄的另一份調查：香港市民的反修例民意調查。這次調查由中文大學傳播與民意調查中心負責，他們已做了很多輪的相關調查，這次的數據其實有點舊，但因為問題問得細緻，而且樣本數目比平常多，可以做很多過去做不了的分層分析，值得深入討論。這次調查在 11 月 7 日至 12 月 13 日期間進行，共訪問了 2,008 名 15 歲或以上操粵語的香港居民。在可信度設於 95%水平底下，誤差範圍是± 2.2%以內。詳細報告可以按此下載。 詳細的分層數據可以有助提升文宣的針對性和準確度。舉個例，多理解意見相對游離的組群和意見堅實組群之間的分別，才有可能做到真正的「淺藍轉黃」，例如即使「淺藍」也對721元朗襲擊和10.1警察開槍不滿，把文宣的重點放在這些事件或可有助遊說他們。與此同時，不少「深黃」組群雖然單獨來說接受「私了」，卻同時認為「私了」對整體運動不利，也揭示為示威者不應魯莽行事，才能爭取更多認同。 對警方表現的滿意程度...
How do you measure the ROI of great design (for real)?
Design has never been more respected in business. Yet quantifying its value still presents a challenge. We need a practical framework for estimating its impact on the bottom line. It’s a question that’s frequently asked, yet the answer is almost always unsatisfying. Companies want to know the expected return of designing best-in-class products, services, and customer experiences. But a meaningful projection of ROI is notoriously elusive. This is a very strange state of affairs if you think about it.

Learning to Code Gives You Advantages as a UX Designer
A stone wall with the word HTML painted on it. Photo courtesy of Markus Tacker. My friend Bryan recently asked me for career advice. He’s a full-time user experience (UX) designer who works for a large, well-funded startup. Bryan said he sometimes struggles at work because he doesn’t have front-end development skills. He experiences challenges like these: Bryan doesn’t always speak the same language developers use when discussing design work. He can’t make simple changes to a hand-coded prototype.
