Ask HN: Why isn't there a concerted international space colonization mission?
The title that I wanted to write was "Why isn't there a concerted international effort to escape to another planet before nuclear holocaust?" That one didn't fit in the character allotment.

I have a feeling this will just be ignored or buried since it sounds alarmist (and I wrote it, and I'm not a popular person), but I am going to try to explain anyway.

Its a really old story. There are lots of nuclear weapons. It seems that generally speaking, people are incredibly unlikely to use them. However, there are lots of nuclear weapons. As far as I know, it is still _possible_ for them to be used at some point in the future. There is a possibility that the use of nuclear weapons
could result in nuclear holocaust. So, it seems there is a non-zero risk of nuclear holocaust.

Since efforts to reduce nuclear arsenals have not been very successful so far, it seems logical to have another plan in progress. The other option is to move some of the population off of the planet in order to avoid extinction if there is a nuclear war. Again, I admit, it does not seem to necessarily be extremely likely. But the possibility can't be eliminated, and since its such a bad outcome, it seems like, to be safe from extinction, we should have some people on another planet.

So there are two popular destination ideas: the moon and Mars. It seems obvious that one would practice by iterating with bases on the moon and then move on to Mars.

It also seems obvious to me that this should be a priority, at least for some segment of the population. And, since it is a planetary risk and probably the most challenging task ever attempted by humankind, it should be a global mission with coordination across borders.

Why isn't this a thing?

Show HN: Kattam – The Box, A Word Puzzle Game from a dad-son team
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kattam-the-box/id1605984718
It's darned difficult to make a new and fresh word puzzle app, in today's heated word game universe, but my kiddo and I tried, and this is our take.

1. The Stage - A box. Words popping out with missing letters. Ominous looking tendrils peeking out from the top

2. The Goal - Keep your words from going off the top.

3. Your Moves - A moving buffet of random letters to choose from, and the riskier strategy of moving letters between words (ProTip: That way lies Mt Doom), and Hammer Time to help you squash those stuck words.

That's it! No ads, no tracking, no coins, no weekly subscriptions to get more vowels; Just words - coming at you like a horde of wilderbeast.

Developed by me, and PMd by my kid, who drove me mad, in a loving way (you haven't lived until your 1st grader cries on seeing your memory graph going the wrong way), but we got to the finish line, and here it is...

Would love your feedback

Show HN: Optimize Website for iPhone / Android In Three Easy Steps
Optimizing your site for iPhone and Android is so easy that there is no reason not to take 10 minutes to do it.

Step 1 - meta tag in site <head>

------------

This is the most important step.

If you leave this out, the browser will never properly "zoom" to your page content.

To make your site optimized for iPhone and Android, you need more than a stylesheet.

The "magic touch" is an important meta tag in your site's <head> section:

<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no, width=device-width" />

Step 2 - reference an iphone/android stylesheet

-------------

The next thing you need is a separate stylesheet for iphone/android that loads after everything else.

The stylesheet is referenced as follows:

<link rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css" media="only screen and (max-device-width: 480px)" href="android_iphone.css" />

Step 3 - essential contents of the android_iphone.css

--------------

the android_iphone stylesheet needs some essential ingredients.

html, body, and any block elements and containers cannot have a width greater than 320px.

otherwise, you will get overflow.

notice that the width is a maximum 320px, not 480px.

in reality, you'll need to use a few pixels less than 320px because you need room for a scrollbar.

take a few pixels away from 320px, test it, and mess around with the width until its exactly right with no overflow.

anyway, here's the essential css to use:

html { width: 320px; }

body { width: 320px; min-width: 320px; max-width: 320px; overflow-x: hidden; }

you can view my implementation of this css here: http://ycuniverse.com/

Enjoy!

Show HN: Relevanto (beta) – I curate the relevant web
https://www.relevanto.com
Hi! This is Alex Dragusin and lately I've been working on Relevanto where I look for and save the best of the web. I literally search through search engines for the best of everything (yes, lots of site:reddit.com in there and so on), check it out if it's legit (I search for reputational data like reviews etc) save it, categorize it and list it on Relevanto. I have a knack for curation and organization so I am putting my skills to, hopefully good use. This, at this point is intended for a global audience, stuff that make sense for most people.

I got fed up with Google and other search engines results being filled with too many results that are not really useful and I hope Relevanto will eventually be a gateway for most of the stuffs I do on the web, leaving the search engines for more specific stuffs - to use them as an option rather than primary way.

Love speed and privacy. I am big on privacy thus no tracking and the usual nonsense. The site is static and managed by a backend I created through which I manage the sites in the database. The static exporter is written in PHP. Nothing too fancy.

I am constantly adding, adjusting and since it's beta, many more categories are coming up.

In the works:

*apart from the highlighter, a similar function that will filter all the sites by [keyword], that is, show only what contain [keyword], hide everything else.
*dedicated pages, for example Music, on this page there will be all about music from links to websites for consumption to tools of creation to news and so on.

Monetization:

Will monetize in 2 ways, one by having a Marketplace page (the only place for ads, no ads on other parts of the site as long as I am at the helm), where one can advertise their service/product/company for a consistent fee (aka high barrier of entry) while abiding by strict guidelines (Money is good but not at the expense of my visitors!) and second by patronages taken through Patreon or other provider. That's it, the goal is not endless growth at the expense of the users but to provide value, real value! This is the future of the web, the relevant web!

Thank you and hope to have you along for the ride.

Ask HN: UI Rendering Framework/Products?
My company is in the process of modernizing their apps/infrastructure. In doing so we are attempting to achieve as complete as possibe for any new apps, separation between data, business logic and UI (MVC). Eliminating where possible any logic in the UI, and hoping to simply pass tags/data. With that being said, we are exploring possible UI frameworks/rendering "engines" that while relevent and useful now, when technology changes in 10 years, it will require little to no effort to replace the UI and snap on a new one. Does anyone have any experience with such a concept and/or can recommend any frameworks/products/direction? Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
HTML5 or Flash Video Players?
http://devstand.com/design/flash-vs-html5-video-players/
The video sharing industry is growing rapidly so I guess you already thought about creating your new website on this area. One big question though...what kind of video player will you use?

A Flash one or a HTML5 one? While Flash is fancy and elegant, it cannot compete with HTML5 which offers a light-weight interface which brings performance, speed and it works perfect with any kind of modern device.

Check out more and let us know which one fits your needs...

Ask HN: Please critique my fb game
http://apps.facebook.com/WhoCutTheDeck

First, sorry it's fb. It was a convenient choice, but I'm not monetizing it at all. Second, I'm not collecting data. If you crash out you might leave behind your fb id, first name and profile image url. But that gets deleted if you leave normally.

In any event, I made this to play table top games (cards for now) with a friend leaving town. I'm trying to mimic the experience of being there. But since I'm a human, I want it to be cool, which means used.

But I think in it's current state it's not compelling. Does it need a tutorial? Does it need avatars? Is it too hard to figure out?

In any event, if you just use it to play a game and it works out, i'd love to know about that, too :)

Thanks
IPhone/Andriod/WebOS App or a mobile website?
I'm developing a service that is targeted for mobile devices. I haven't done much mobile dev since J2ME and the Andriod emulator and I haven't done any mobile website development, so I don't know exactly what the pros and cons are.

Tell HN: Bump for Android seems to read GPS constantly in standby mode
Today I saw something strange on my HTC Desire: Every time I resumed from standby, the GPS indicator was on. I haven't seen this before, so I figured it was a new app or an update. I went through the apps I had most recently updated, uninstalled each one and checked if the GPS indicator would disappear. After uninstalling Bump, it no longer used the GPS.

The Bump page on Android Market has several reviews stating the same thing:

The mind sees what it wants to see
http://www.pprune.org/rotorheads/407864-intreresting-reading-about-human-factors.html
Found this link on a skydiving website I frequent. It was given up as an example on how things can go horribly wrong when we become complacent in things like gear checks.

I've always tried to draw parallels between what I learn in my hobbies and what I do in my professional life. Granted, the stakes are a bit higher in skydiving and they were certainly high in this story (the person involved died), but the lessons are still valid. Ignore them at your own peril.

When I read this post one of the things it reminded me of was a time when a coworker chased a crash bug for about two days. He scoured his code. He became convinced that he had exposed a bug in the compiler....he started to doubt the stability of glibc even! After many lost hours he asked me to look at his code and I saw the error in five minutes; two lines after calling free on a variable he called free on it again.

Before you jump to your keyboard and start typing about how this would not happen to you, realize that people in situations with higher stakes than the mere survival of an insignificant startup have made similar mistakes. The mind sees what it wants to see, and when the mind is reading code that it wrote it wants to see that code as being perfect.
