I believe that's the correct answer.

However I still wish they'd be able to get the bezel down to the size of an XPS 13

Doesn't the XPS have the weird webcam position?

My work-issued XPS has a normal webcam position... but I cannot speak to models before or after this one.

They moved the camera back up top in the 2019 models

At the cost of one of the worst webcam sensors to ship in a laptop. I am fine with a little extra top bezel in exchange for a quality camera.

I don't think this is an issue with the latest models.

I think since they've managed to minimize the screen bezel, they can fit a 14" screen in the body of an older 13" and a 16" in the body of an older 15"?

Yes, this is the case. (As the owner of a 16" MBP, which replaced a long series of 15" MBPs—with a 17" in there way back when they were still current.)

I wonder if it was manual removal or a spam protection bot..

I don't think it was a spam protection bot since they removed a large batch all at once. But, they obviously know there is no point to remove another batch because it will backfire.

Did you even read the article?

And how exactly are you asking your government to pass those laws?

Through voting and protests. If those don't work then there's also other avenues.

Agreed.

If I somehow end up on a similar looking website, I'd often close it and move on to the next result on Google.

My brain automatically associate that UI with an archive website that probably hasn't been uploaded since 2005ish.

If you know that your brain is wrong then why aren't you actively trying to teach it not do that association?

> What if we think of design as not what something looks like, but rather how it works?

Wouldn't that be UX and not necessarily UI?

Lot's of what we (most other first world countries) take for granted is not present in the US.

Health care insurance for example can eat a good chunk of that 3.6kUSD: the average cost of individual health insurance premiums is $440 for an individual and &1,168 for a family, in 2018 according to eHealth [1]

> and &1,168 for a family

Ouch!

That makes health insurance behave like a very regressive tax.

In contrast in Germany where they have compulsory insurance it is only 7.6% to 15% of your salary, so something between USD 273 and USD 540 for a family. See https://www.sympat.me/germany-healthcare-insurance/.

On a side note, I love his blog. Not sure if he's using a platform or not, but love the simplicity of it.

That blog page has 4 requests going: html page, one css file and two images. No tracking, no 50 javascript libraries, nothing.

If anyone know if/what platform hes using, I'm interested. Very clean looking website, very simple. Love it.

I hope not. That's going to be confusing with the 737-800 model.
