It's definitely just showing off what you can do with a single div and CSS, much like your latter examples. It's an experiment in constraints.

However, I could see something like this being useful in the case where you're using a third-party site and are only allowed to edit CSS. You probably don't need something as complicated as a cross-stitched heart, however it does show some techniques for squeezing as much in as possible.

It also could be useful for a Font-Awesome-style icon set, where you just type <i class="icon-flower"></i>, although I imagine most people would prefer to just do something like <img src="/flower.svg">.

> The Sentinelese people react violently to outsiders, but many (maybe even most) first contacts of Europeans with various natives was peaceful on the part of the locals.

I think it's sort of telling what the evolutionary stance is on being peaceful and welcoming. Look what happened to the natives as a result. In fact being unwelcoming and aggressive can be seen as a show of strength, which is evolutionary advantageous.

- In November 2002 the CIA killed at least one prisoner during interrogation by hypothermia

- The Committee found that "[a]t least five CIA detainees were subjected to 'rectal rehydration' or rectal feeding without documented medical necessity

- One detainee was subjected to "ice water baths" and 66 hours of standing sleep deprivation. He was later released as the CIA had mistaken his identity

Not a great article, but still a topic worthy of discussion. I do assume that starting in a few years that the average number of cars per household will begin to drop towards zero. Clearly this has huge implications for the economy since the automotive sector, including, financing, insurance, aftermarket parts, maintenance, etc. is amongst the largest sectors of the US economy.

I still think that it will be a net positive, as people will spend less wasted time in traffic (since they're not driving, the time can be used), and the number of accidents will drop considerably. But still, we're in for some painful adjustments.
So were these created with straight CSS the way I'm believing it to be, or using a program from adobe?

How a startup in the White House is changing business as usual
I am super hardcore stallman-esque pro openness, but I also have somewhat libertarian views on how people should be allowed to operate.

My thinking is: let them lock them down and after a few years, someone who genuinely values openness will come in as a competitor. If you pass a law requiring some kind of openness, companies against openness will just hang out at the edge of what is legally permissible.

I am curious what the HN crowd thinks of this, if a legislative solution could be desirable, and why.
Yes, SVG files have come a long way and are quite useful for this type of vector graphics. However there is something so satisfying about knowing that your vector art fits into a single div and comes purely from CSS. Amazing work. These are really visually appealing to me.

I applaud you for the humility you exhibit in asking this question, as it seems like you are an extremely sharp individual and capable to be your own engineer.

You need to be creative: Don't take this the wrong way, but you need to hustle and get creative with the skills you do have. You need to think like an entrepreneur, take ownership of your situation, and act pragmatically as a "ceo" would. Right now, you are the ceo of your idea.

I'll issue you a challenge that might serves the dual purposes of giving you a concrete next step / goal to aim at.. and (hopefully) provides value in moving your idea forward - and that doesn't require coding.

First, There are numerous lean startup-y approaches to vetting your ideas iteratively and sans-coding. See Steve Blank on google. Or Business Model Canvas. Or Lean Startup. And many others....

Second, once that is done, or in parallel to it, or if you know there is a market: Do as much as you can in building and testing the core concepts without actually coding it. From wordpress to scanning in a sketch + hotspots, to using MailChimp, to Google Docs as backend, to Powerpoint... and many others.... there is a LOT you can do without writing a line of code. If you read about many entrepreneurs, they start off that way. Numerous examples out there... I'd apportion your time learning what those tools are (e.g. what you can do with mailchimp in building a community).

Once you sense things are clicking in terms of market demand (however small) and product hypothesis direction, you will have no trouble attracting the resources you need (human and financial). Bootstrap.

Of course, in parallel, if you do have a desire to continue to learn programming, then you can continue to do that.

Years of papers on both with no uptake in industry or FOSS for even SAFE's basic techniques until Dover.

And instead we get Intel ME. I seriously don't know what to think..

"If the piano fundamentally outlines anything, it is the A minor (aeolian) scale"
Are you saying this because the D note is the symmetrical white note, and it lies in the center of the A minor scale? A similar argument could be made for Eb minor, because the Ab note is symmetrical.

An interesting phenomenon is that C Ionian harmony can be 'flipped' to A Aeolian by mirroring all the notes around the central D. The C chord becomes A minor, G7 becomes Dm6, F6 becomes Em7. The melody can switch as well; the contour is reversed yet the tune retains its essence.

The chances your idea is both unique and useful are essentially nil.

It's probably not new. Just enjoy the thought "won't it be cool when somebody starts a company that does X" and realize that you are not that person (skill / life stage mismatch).

But you could also develop the idea quietly on the side while in school. If not the tech, then the legal aspects and some market and competitive research. Then if the opportunity is still not taken by others in a couple years, do more.

Also you should read some lists of business/tech ideas others have already had. There are plenty of such lists out on the interwebs. For example pet sitter for after you die, ok, whatever. If you find your idea on these lists, that tells you something... maybe there are better ideas. But if you don't, the converse is not necessarily true (it doesn't mean your idea is good).

Startups can do this, but they need to have very, very good people and go niche. The are millions of smallish niches out there that can be attacked with a sustaining approach provided you have the right people. The problem is really good people are hard to find and most niches are too small to support investor funding.
Realistically, the simple fact that it will be hard to modify in fashion that doesn't break the car completely is a huge deterrent. Of course it is possible for a single individual or small group to hack the software and then distribute it like consoles hacking

The economic case for hacking them is much different, the hacker risks prenablently bricking their device, in fact it might be nessacary to destroy a couple to learn about them. It is going to be harder to do this to a $20,000 device you rely on to go to work/school. Secondly the varsity of car models is going to dwarf the number of console versions.
These two factor combine to make the hacking much more expensive and riskier.

It feels more prudent to wait and see if this becomes a problem and from that poin look at how/if to solve it. After all if a hack modifies a car's software to dive faster, accelerate faster, or something similar. You can do as the OP suggested and set up cammeras to record traffic and see who is driving a car that behaves out of spec and go arrest them.

> And in my lifetime, I've had a few people just outright say to me that all white people look the same to them. Which isn't offensive--it's because they grew up around people who looked like them, and have less practice differentiating between white people.

Honestly, all people look mostly the same to me. The only ones that stand out are the beautiful ones. If you ask me to mentally visualize faces of people I've seen during the past few days or weeks, the ones that will stand out the most will be the attractive ones (regardless of race, although being white, I am a tad biased).

The other ones who stand out will be people with features similar to mine, from a certain European ethnicity.

However I grew up in an area which has 4 towns that are the most racially diverse in the US, so I may be accustomed to all the races, so I have to find other features that stand out more (Probably 99% of my days I see people of all races, and probably from every continent as well)

While ago I've proposed at W3C CSS WG so called vector images ( see: http://sciter.com/lightweight-inline-vector-images-in-sciter... ).

With them, without any hacks like those you can define arbitrary shapes in CSS and in <img src="...">:

div {
background-image: url(path:c 50,0 50,100 100,100 c 50,0 50,-100 100,-100);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

Symbols on the right of path: are the same that appear in SVGs path d attribute:

<path d="c 50,0 50,100 100,100 c 50,0 50,-100 100,-100" fill="#000" />

But in significantly more lightweight manner.

Proposal did not go through. Nobody cares, sigh. So people keep hacking gradients with CSS.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that most white people are afraid of being labeled a racist, especially white people selling something. Why don't you use that to your advantage? As director of engineering, I'm sure you can vote with your company's dollars. The beauty of capitalism is that the overtly racist company is only going to get money from overt racists. Companies that want to do well don't treat people like that. Not to diminish all the hurtful discrimination certain groups of people face, but I'm not sad that the New Black Panthers probably don't want me in their club, and neo-nazis for that matter, but I don't think those clubs should be outlawed. People like you and me just say fuck'em and find places that make us better people. Doesn't sound like PagerDuty is that place. Their loss.

> how many people are partially or heavily disgruntled at javascript

It's not actually the nightmare many make it out to be with ES6. I actually enjoy writing it quite a bit (I have mainly a functional background)
The thing I'm always surprised about with these sort of CSS hacks: they don't lag my browser. Like, at all. Even the animated ones! Which is really surprising when you compare them to literally any other way these illustrations could have been created. A sufficient mess of procedural Javascript to render the same designs would lag horribly. The equivalent Flash would make the browser choppy as all hell. As would a Java applet, if those were even still around. (SVG might not, but for the SVG to animate you'd need to use... CSS.)

Is CSS effectively "free", or is this just not a complex-enough example to start to see problems?
No matter what algorithm the self driving car is running, it is going to be 100 times safer than you driving the car.

And yet, I have driven hundreds of thousands of miles over many years under all kinds of road conditions without ever having an accident. Statistically my record is better than many, but it's hardly a unique achievement among experienced drivers who are careful.

Tesla's Autopilot probably has done more than 100x the miles I have by now, but it's also had several accidents, some of them fatal. As I understand it, it has also only been used on highways, which are statistically much safer and have much less challenging driving conditions than places like winding rural roads or inner city residential areas.

As another example, Google's self-driving cars have apparently done less than 10x the driving miles I have, but under somewhat more challenging conditions than highways. They too have had accidents, and they too reportedly still can't cope with anything close to truly realistic driving conditions on their own.

So no, it appears that the state of the art in self-driving technology today is not 100x safer than me driving a car. If anything, it's looking considerably more dangerous. Of course there is potential there -- no matter how skillful and careful I am, I still only have two eyes and human reaction times -- but automated driving is still a long way from outperforming good human judgement as things stand today.
Um, tolerant of what? Is he planning to do short term rentals in Denver? If so, has he not looked up their regulations? Because it seems like Denver passed laws that would highly restrict what he was doing in Santa Monica: http://www.denverpost.com/2016/06/13/denver-city-council-con...

Free transactions right now have essentially zero chance of going through, so it makes sense that they're removing it, since it would prevent users from creating transactions that will never confirm. I'm not disputing satoshi's point, but given the current network conditions, the change makes sense.
At that point, why not just use an svg file?
Is there any scientific evidence that castration affects a pedophile's attraction?
Personally, I'd prefer

.icon-flower:before {
content: url(/flower.svg);
}

—which would effectively treat the SVG not as an image or background or anything, but rather as a character glyph from a synthesized single-character graphical-emoji font—meaning your SVG design would be display:inline'd at the current font-size, including font-styles (oldschool faux-italics) and text-decorations (properly-positioned and shaped underline/outline drawn before the SVG glyph's stroke.)

The text engine is already incredibly expressive for doing arbitrary vector-glyph layout; so if you're creating your own one-off vector glyphs, why shouldn't you be allowed to manipulate them using the text engine?
I don't see how this is so questionable. Frequency is continuous, so the way we subdivide into discrete notes is quite arbitrary. You don't even have to go outside of western music to find examples.
