Ask HN: Which design tools export to code well?
Looking for something that lets me mockup static splash pages, eg Sketch/Figma/etc, adjust for media queries/responsiveness, and export to code.

Giving a rival publication the statement instead of Bloomberg is classic Apple. The spirit of Katie Cotton lives on in Apple PR.
Rental properties are a particularly good use case but they're handy in general. Many of us have various people who need access to our house when we're not around--or relatives/friends who we want to give access in case of emergencies, etc. It's nice to just be able to given them a code. Keyless entry more broadly is also nice because it means one less thing (keys) I need to take on trips when I'm not driving.

This is literally the Christian version of "Sharia Law", which seems to be a boogeyman of the conservative right. Unbelievable.
IMHO, Kinect is still the best when it comes to sports, exercise, and dance simulation games.
It isn't just an image problem: the massive pollution issue China has will, if it remains unchecked, have a significant effect on economic growth due to health issues in the urban population that is driving the industrial sectors. On a less altruistic note, it is also threatening the health of the powers-that-be.
I don’t know why you got down voted. That’s what Tesla should have done if they haven’t documented any performance problems.

What they did is basically slander with real economic consequences to those fired and they should sue.

Being fired with cause impacts their ability to collect unemployment, which most these people deserve.

It also puts a bad mark on their employment history, unless they lie about how they where fired.

https://www.reviewjournal.com/business/energy/solarcity-stop...

>>The PUC “has effectively shut down the rooftop-solar industry and taken the extraordinary step to punish over 12,000 existing solar customers, including schools, with exorbitant fees in what appears to be an attempt to protect the profits of the state’s largest utility. All three members of the PUC, who voted unanimously to change the rules, were appointed by Governor Sandoval.”

>>Rive said: “Most disturbing is the PUC’s decision to retroactively sabotage existing solar customers’ investments by changing the rules on them. The Nevada government encouraged these people to go solar with financial incentives and pro-solar policies, and now the same government is punishing them for their decision with new costs they couldn’t have foreseen. These actions are certainly unethical, unprecedented, and possibly unlawful. While the rest of the country embraces a clean energy future, Nevada is moving backwards.”

Well, Google levelled up their game on Snapseed at some point, so why milk the cow you don't know how to feed, makes sense.
The only thing resembling a campaign one may notice is the breathless praise heaped on Elon Musk by his army of fanboys whenever Tesla or SpaceX are on the receiving end of criticism from the media. It's surpassed even a Steve Jobs tier of cultism.

It would seem that CineForm is inherently simple, so perhaps it does not infringe on any of the "more clever" codec's inventions (AKA patents). I imagine GoPro ran it through legal before doing this.

The Stages of Teamwork Complexity
I think “overeducated, underemployed hipsters” would cover activists of many different political stripes. But I disagree that upzoning is desired mainly by people who want to live here due to their urban identity. Many of the people who stay in the Bay Area do so because their family is here. Many of the people who migrate to the Bay Area come for economic opportunities. And if you tell people to follow their parents’ “housing ladder,” I think it is also fair to recognize and fix the ways in which the ladder has stopped working in the Bay Area.

I agree that parkland should be preserved. But communities that preserve a lot of park land should be even more eager to upzone residential land to accommodate regional growth needs. If a city wants to preserve land from development but refuses to upzone to make the remaining housing accessible, then this is indistinguishable from an exclusive gated community and I don’t think I would call it progressive.

Edit: Also, I don’t think I agree with your “very rational arbitrage strategy” point. If my city provides jobs, amenities, and increasingly upscale housing while a town an hour away provides housing for the service workers, I don’t think the existence of the arbitraging town would reduce the moral responsibilities of the city in any way.
THW is particularly good. A coupe of years, I've helped a friend set up All Things Zombie games in the gaming room of an anime convention. We set up little towns of prop buildings (that he got used and super-cheap), and people walked up, curious but assuming this is some Super Complicated Thing that will take all day. We go, "Hey, wanna play? Pick a figure and fill in this little sheet. If you gotta go at some point, feel free. Just remember, you're in charge of moving the zombies near you. We'll explain how."

And so, we'd have a gaggle of people merrily running around the town, trying to scoop up supplies and whatnot, as things got more and more chaotic. Always a blast.
I think of memoization in terms of memos. You're leaving memos behind to avoid recalculating, but you're going to throw them out when you have your result; it's scratch paper to refer back to your previous work. The word itself denotes the reason for storing the data.

Memorization makes me think of a repetitive process of committing something permanently to memory.

Does that scale to the level required here? Also, while it's not a steam engine, it is an engine based on heat transfer, so it's not entirely different, and a lot of the same problems apply. So, while my assumption doesn't hold, the requirements imposed by it may (and may be worse, RTGs can't vary their heat output in any way). Do we have numbers on how much heat a current fairly standard RTG generates (for what appears to be hundreds of Watts), and how hard that is to radiate in space?
I have a Schlage smart lock and still keep a spare key hidden. I'd never trust the electronics 100%.
Net metering isn't even a US law thing, it's a physics law thing. Just basic physics should tell you that selling power for the same price you buy it doesn't make sense due to heat loss in the lines.

This seems at minimum possible. The general consensus at the time of the SolarCity acquisition was something like "that's a failing venture, but the products and manufacturing capacity are relevant to Tesla". And now we've seen Powerwall synced up with SolarCity tech, but no major leaps forward for SolarCity itself.

Would it be all that surprising if this was a move to quietly wind down SolarCity as a separate concern in favor of using it as a smaller feed-in to Tesla?

(If anyone actually knows more internals there, I'd be fascinated to hear.)
I came here to say the same. I'd love to see Apple implement this style in more of their os and apps.

I can only imagine how much better a calculator, for a start, you could make than Apple's!

Without accusing anyone of lying at all, the letter writer goes out of their way to make it seem like the LGBT community, adult content community, and porn community are the same thing, and they’re representing all 3. I don’t know which of these Patreon has courted, though, or how much. To quote,

“However, there has always been an issue with your stance on “porn” versus “adult content.” This stance has never been clear and is reminiscent of the phrase “I know it when I see it”, most infamously used in 1964 by Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart to describe his threshold test for obscenity. This is an outdated, legally unclear, and importantly, extremely problematic view of adult media.”

So, to Patreon, this doesn’t seem to be a distinction without a difference. I happen to agree: an artistic nude is adult content, but isn’t the same adult content as a blowjob video. Even if no one is lying, I have no trouble reading that letter as “you courted and reassured us (LGBT, adult content), and now you’re abandoning us (pornographers)”. Which doesn’t require deceit - I’m sure there’s overlap and gray areas. But it doesn’t require Patreon to be playing dirty either.
Screen sharing in Slack, made interactive via Screenhero acquisition (YC W13)
Quick note on the UI. When looking at a ticker, the news hugs the edge of the screen. Maybe a little padding there could help.
Really depends. If you think about uber then without uber or similar services then people would use taxis. The taxi drivers would get paid more due to having monopolies in most cities and fares would be outrageous.

Most of the gig type companies are able to offer lower prices to consumers at the expense of workers.

Also important to note is that uber and lyft sell their gigs as just side income, not a full time job so I think people have been fair warned that uber is not sufficient to support yourself.
1,200 of 33,000 employees amounts to 3.6% of the work force. This level of action, 1 in 25 employees, gives managers an opportunity to release employees that looked good in the interview but did not meet expectations. Whether Tesla conducted this in a proper manner is open to debate and perhaps details will emerge if/when any former employees pursue Tesla in court. But any company needs to address the inevitable hiring mistakes and I don't see evidence that Tesla is doing any more than that.
Call layoffs "firing" to look good in stock market and not have to pay severance packages... Elon is smart for sure
Agreed. Tabletop rpgs endured in the convention scene, and video games and cosplay revitalized fannish cons, a ton of people were introduced to or reminded that the hobby was something that "people like them" did.
I'm pretty sure Stripe and Paypal are Patreon's two payment processors, so I'm not surprised that they're having the same issues.

Tech giants don't invent cool things, they buy cool inventions that might become trendy, and dump them if they don't.

Well that's the point of iFixit — we have hundreds of thousands of people around the world writing their own repair info to fill the void that the manufacturers left. It's working out pretty well so far.

They may want the legitimacy and trust of Patreon, but if the alternative is “(being) scared for their lives”, presumably they’ll get over that preference and try it out.
> Is delivering packages really that hard in the states?

As soon as one asks any question about "the states" the answers vary as widely as the people and areas. Some people are in apartments others are in the middle of nowhere.

UPS is great, they come right to my door. Packages are left on the porch, but there isn't anyone around to steal them.

FedEx is OK. They come to my door, but sometimes they are too busy/lazy to drive up my road and leave a bogus reason in the tracking system. I called them on one and they lady assured that my winter road wsn't passable. Nevermind my wife drove the kids to and from school and the FedEx guy has a 4x4 truck. I just wish if they were too busy they'd just call it what it is.

My mailbox is about a mile from my house. If USPS can stuff it in my oversized box they will, otherwise I have drive to the post office and pick it up. I've thought of putting in a package locker to share with the other neighbors on the road. A magical package machine like you described would be great at the end of the road - but there isn't any power there.

I don't see how the Apple Pay use case is going to be anything but awkward - I don't think many payment terminals are at the right angle to do face unlock and NFC at the same time. So I guess there'll be some way to authenticate, then NFC tap to pay or something.. but it'll surely be more fiddly. Apple Pay with TouchID is a perfect UX.

> The boat carrying it should, in theory, be less likely to become a shipwreck.

The sea is a cruel mistress. Ships regularly get wiped out despite state-of-the-art navigation. I would suspect that the vast majority of shipwrecks throughout mankind's history has little do with navigation and everything to do with the inherent danger of the open ocean.
You are correct that the article doesn't show it, but claims it.

So your point is that you think the claim is wrong? Because, as I've said elsewhere, I think it's prima facie extremely plausible. The idea that minorities are overrepresented amongst the most vulnerable populations, especially when several dimensions of marginalization intersect (in this case adult content creation) is not at all far fetched. Instead it seems fairly obvious.

As such I would put the burden of prove on you when you claim the authors misrepresent their community in order to advance their point.

Now I agree with your point that the fuzzy line is problematic. And patreon can't solve this on their own. I think regulation could, but which politician will stand up for that? The issue the authors have can't be completely resolved in this context, but patreon shifted their policy contrary to how they were marketing themselves to creators before (and what they got good press for). I think that's a good reason to be publicly upset and push back.
Compared to the pure software startups whose announcements are splashed all over the front pages of ycombinator, who are generally trying to spin old and boring ideas as grand innovation, I'd say there's a lot of tech behind these companies.
Why can't the real goal be the stated one? It's already very beneficial to Amazon, serving to further build a moat around Amazon being where you buy everything.

Fair point! I wrote this long before the KRACK vuln but I've been very uncomfortable with the closed nature of IEEE standards that I've participated in. But I've still contributed, so I reckon I'm still complicit.

As a counterpoint, XBOX Live subscription is not too expensive, offers a lot of value through bonuses and freebies, and most large studios are now offering their own subscriptions for users of their games.
What is your resolution on "one moment"? At the second-or-so level, we'd think that they weren't emitted at the same moment, as the gravity waves come from the orbiting stars before they collide with each other, i.e., mostly prior to the collision.

However, relative to a prediction that they should be separated by over a year, they arrived simultaneously.

You might wonder whether perhaps we correlated the gravity waves from one event with the light from another; this is counterindicated by the fact that the gravity waves match theoretical predictions about colliding neutron stars, and the resulting light data we gather matched theories about what colliding neutron stars might look like, an event never before witnessed. The coincidence of these two factors makes it rather likely these events are connected, in another spectacular triumph of theory predicting events that we've never seen before. I don't know that the popular press articles captured or explained this aspect very well, but I think it is part of why the astronomy community got so excited about this. Only part; there's plenty to be excited about in this event! It may well be the most exciting single astronomical event in my lifetime, because there were just so many bits that came together all at once for the first time.
Might be. Probably reusing the same pattern matching code in function definitions.

Most of the development in realsenses has been discontinued a few months ago. We used one (SR300) at the company and discovered that some particular poses (two persons making a kissing motion) would just make the latest SDK (R3) crash, even without feature & gesture recognition active. The answer? "EWONTFIX, use the older SDK, this won't be developed anymore anyways".

Besides, the kinect has honestly better specs, a better quality in tracking and more accuracy.
