| While reading that article the page changed its font-size by at least 150% five times (thus far). No I did not press any buttons. There is some detection Javascript running that gets confused. Maybe my touch screen (laptop)? Page zoom does not change, CTRL-0 does not reset the size, so it's not me. As for the article... I'm amazed this is so popular (given the attention previous submissions here already got). Well, I guess it's nice to have a link to point to for all the things that do not matter. This sentence scares me: > Rozovsky and her colleagues had figured out which norms were most critical. Now they had to find a way to make communication and empathy — the building blocks of forging real connections — into an algorithm they could easily scale. And this is a surprise: > ‘‘By putting things like empathy and sensitivity into charts and data reports, it makes them easier to talk about,’’ Sakaguchi told me. ‘‘It’s easier to talk about our feelings when we can point to a number.’’ and > And thanks to Project Aristotle, she now had a vocabulary for explaining to herself what she was feeling and why it was important. She had graphs and charts telling her that she shouldn’t just let it go. Really? I have to crunch some numbers how I feel about this. . . PS: figured it out: When I just touch the screen the font-size changes. There are three steps. It takes a double-click with the mouse - but only a single touch with the finger on the touchscreen. I can't imagine this being useful anywhere - especially since when you have a touchscreen you can also already do a two-finger zoom if you want to. |
