List WIP
Begin copying files, windows knows how much space is needed... 20 minutes later, it tells you that you don't have enough space at the destination drive. It could tell you in the beginning.
At airport, departure board shows time of departures, until time remaining for each departure. Which one introduces more human error and steps to find out a traveler's ideal timing? We've been in the digital age for years, but have never updated the way we manage departure boards. Ideally, a hybrid system would show both departure time, and time remaining.
eBay, 20 people bid on something, one wins. That means 19 losers wasted time looking to find something, and waiting after their bid. That's not sustainable, people will eventually get frustrated and leave. The ideal solution to reach market peak price without loss or guesswork is for a seller to list a starting price and and end price. As the duration for their auction goes down, the 'buy now' price goes down. Simultaneously, allow max price offers, which are publicly visible and binding.
Go to your shower, fill a bucket with water. You accidentally push a lever down at the end of a spiggot. Now you're taking a shower instead of filling the bucket. Happened to you too many times? That's because the action of the lever should be reversed. That way, if it's ever accidentally activated, then it's in 'bucket mode' and not ' shower mode'. Shouldn't the least risky mode be the one which is most easily (or even accidentally) activated?
Go to website, begin to fill out form, time out, have to relog, all information lost. First, generous timeouts save time and frustration, second... mouse movement can be seen by JAVA, that makes it easy to know that someone is still active and that their session time should be refreshed (Do NOT rely on POST/GET events to refresh session time, rely on user activity such as mouse movement.)
