If a system has critical safety components (using, or misusing the system could harm or kill people), all parts of it should be treated as such. This applies to hospital equipment, missile warning systems, cars, etc. Things like security and reliability rightly get a lot of attention, but UX is just as critical, as this event shows. There are plenty of case studies of poor UX on hospital equipment killing people[1]. When will people learn? https://medium.com/tragic-design/how-bad-ux-killed-jenny-ef9...

This is not graphic design, it is UX. Graphic design is a component of UX, sometimes, but not here necessarily. Simply reordering the list, and giving it a hierarchy makes it much easier to see what to do: https://twitter.com/iamlucamilan/status/953201356545974272

Wow, I... didn't know that gesture was a thing. Thank you! It seems to help a bit! I'm now getting a 50/50 son/soon ratio. That said: when I manually type "soon" -- definitely with a double "o" -- it still autocorrects to "son" on the first try. So, going to keep my pet theory intact.

The weird thing is that if I type nothing at all, the contextual predicted "next word" on GBoard is actually very good -- I wasn't praising it for comedic effect. But it really does seem like there's a sign error in a sort function which kicks in after you start typing.

If somebody has fonts installed for specific reasons then presumably they don't want web pages changing them. Web pages shouldn't need any more control than selecting from "serif", "sans-serif", or "monospace". The most legible font is the font you're most familiar with. I don't want web pages to use different fonts just because some marketing drone thought it was good for branding. It's disappointing that we allowed websites to abuse fonts for vector icons.
I would add at least one of the sounds generator to the page you submitted. I have no incentive to click any of the links.

I clicked anyway :)

I actually clicked the #1 (at the bottom) and it doesn't sound very good, but I think this is expected as a first version.

The last one #25 (at the top) is nice. Perhaps you should add both to the page so the readers can listen to the difference.

[I'd like a bit more of information, like what are you adding in each step, or why are you adding it.]

It's no specific feature it's the fact that large enterprise requirements very often translate into a product that isn't very pleasant to use.

Jira allows for a very rigid, formalised process for everything to be built. Few companies resist the temptation, most go all in while chanting "compliance, compliance, COMPLIANCE!" and as a result you have an environment that is a pain to use, has too many mandatory fields everywhere, one allowed status transition workflow (or one per issue/content/whatever type)- it's bureaucracy as a service.

All that takes a lot of time to set up and makes changes within the organisation even harder, because you have one more thing that makes it rigid.

>Stalin is remembered first and foremost for the great purge of 1937, inducing famine in Ukraine and displacing people en masse.

That's in other countries. In Russia he is remembered for WW2. Official narrative is something like "yep, he killed some people and was wrong sometimes, but they were reabilitated some 30-50 years after, so what's up", BUT he won WW2.
I find that pessimists miss a critical factor a lot of times.

Optimists miss critical factors all the time also. Which leads to all sorts of problems with expectations.

I think the real answer is to be optimistic about people, but realistic about projects.

You are right about hard vs. bad, but it's also worth noting you have to be careful about pushing your own ideas of team support. When you are asking more of people (stay late) it's worth thinking about what you can give them that they want, not what you envision. And if it gets really HARD, think about how hard you can advocate for getting them something material after (promotion for performance reasons, extra time off, a situational bonus, whatever)

Ask HN: Does anybody know a way to increase the odds of gmail account recovery?
A little over a year ago, my adult son was in a car accident that resulted in a coma and a severe brain injury. As months passed with little sign of progress, it didn't seem like he would ever be able to use his Google Fi phone anymore. However, we were reluctant to give up his phone number because it seemed so permanent. The kind people of Google Fi helped me park his number on Google voice. I didn't have his password; so I couldn't access the account, but they did it for me.

In August, we had a bit of a miracle. It was like a switch flipped in my son's brain. He started talking again, and was soon able to get online with his Chromebook. However, he didn't remember his passwords - which is understandable. His memory of 2016 and early 2017 is filled with holes at best.

We were able to recover his personal gmail account that he opened in high school. However, we have not been able to recover his 'adult' account with the phone number parked on it.

Here's the thing - my phone number was one of the recovery options. I am able to receive the verification code and enter it. His teen gmail account was another - we are able to retrieve that verification code and enter it. I am also able to confirm the month and year that he opened the account, and answer the one security question. We have tried from my home internet - which has an IP he frequently used as well as our work Internet. However, Google's automated account recovery option still says it can't verify that it's him.

I know it's silly, but we'd really like to get his phone number back. It's just a small piece of the 'old' him that we would like to restore.

The kind people at Google Fi can't help with this one. And, there's no human at Google to escalate account recovery to. But, does anybody know a way to increase the odds of getting the automated system to restore the account?

>As a manager, the company comes first, the team second and the individual third.

I think managers should take a little more nuance into this equation.

As a manager you sit between the interests of the business and the interests of your reports. Depending on the context the hierachy might actually be individual/team/company.

If you keep the model of company/team/individual, you will be seen as great at "managing up" (in this case also you might be seen as a "suck up"), decent at managing across departments, and your team will probably think you could care less about them.

There will be many times where this hierarchy changes and knowing when/how/why those changes happens will take you to next level management.

E.G. In a 1:1 with your report _they_ are a priority. (managing down)

In a company wide address on team performance, the needs of the company+the team need to be addressed. (managing up and across)

In an executive meeting, the needs of the company are paramount (managing up)

etc etc.
Could it be that by the third plague more people developed immunity and therefore less were killed.

Why are we so certain it does? It has certain properties that give it some value. Maybe that value is much much less than the current price and maybe there will be competition that is better in every way, but is there not some small intrinsic value in owning something electronic that I can transfer which has scarcity enforced by algorithms instead of a centralized system?

Then again, if the intrinsic value is worth less than the effort to use it, is there a difference from having no intrinsic value at all?

You are correct. There is no current reporting that claims these were set off intentionally. However, I'm curious if there could be a valid motive for both states to purposely set off these false alarms. It does seem like a pretty big coincidence that both states happen to get these false alarms in relatively short time frame. I have already seen conspiracy posts making claims about these alarms being purposely set off, but they never provide a motive. Just curious if anyone can think of a valid one.

The economic value of a commodity is both use and exchange values. You’re talking of use values here. They are included when talking of the value of an object.

You’re also, like other commenters, unnecessarily stuck on the example of gold. See past that. Gold is no different from any other object—anything can lose its value, because that value is the product of human activity, ideas, and relations in a market. When I say If everyone decides gold has no value tomorrow, it has no value, I was talking all value. Your scheme won’t work when everyone decides gold has no value, because gold is nothing more than an object in the market whose value is constructed by human relations and activity.
There are many ways to make this work, eg When you create your company, the govt automatically get 30% share, and 30% of future dilutions, perhaps instead of taxes.
The OAuth use case you mention is spot on but with OAuth clients available in every language remotely popular I don't agree it's complicated. And I think that even if you don't have a strong user case for OAuth you will sooner or later. Better to go with the standard practice for user centric APIs instead of using ad hoc solutions.
Hi there, I'm the creator of bastions. Here is a coupon code created specifically for HN users that originate from this post: HN2018. This code will get you 50% off for the first 6 months of service. I am still trying to get a handle on the correct pricing model for the service. Hopefully, this coupon will help if any of the numbers are off-putting.

Bastions solves an important problem impacting businesses that generate leads from their websites. With so many moving parts (the website/server itself, the form, the CRM, etc.) it is easy for one to malfunction and cause a break in your online sales pipeline. In most cases, these issues go unnoticed for days, weeks, or even months (especially if the issue is subtle). Once the business discovers the issue, the potential for lost revenue is an unknown (and frightening) number. Bastions helps detect these issues before they become bigger problems. Using selenium, bastions will routinely test your web forms just like a user would. It can optionally integrate with a third-party CRM to ensure your lead arrived at its destination (and clean up the test lead afterwards).

I'm constantly improving the product and looking for any and all suggestions. I would appreciate any feedback from the HN community. Thanks for checking it out!
I don't follow you at all. I wish someone would just come out and make a straightforward remark about this because I don't see what the fuss is about.

Am I making a sin if I complain about the GPL or Tivo? I honestly don't get it. The quote basically says "don't use GPL stuff if you don't want to give away your work" which seems very simple and logical to me. Everybody knows this. What is so bad about saying it?

EDIT: Oh, it was you who said it and you're being more obscure now than you were when you made the comment. Can you not explain what exactly is your beef?

>True. As noted, in our current system, it's just the insurance companies making the call instead of a bureaucrat. And it's usually done at a general level, not individually (except for rare, expensive, edge cases).

If a private entity sets their criteria for treatment in a way that people don't like, it's possible to switch to a different insurer.

When the government does, people are just stuck.
> By design, the web is a "1. send me the document <-> 2. here it is" transaction, not a series of many small notifications.

That was true in 1998, but most of the web has been turning, by design, into what you might call a series of many small notifications ever since then. Gmail's been doing it since 2004. Today, almost all large sites are running Google Analytics or something like it, which track everything this article discusses, and operates on constant micro transactions. All web apps are built on many small notifications, and many of them even use websockets which was explicitly, by design, built for streams of micro transactions.

> By design, the url() property almost certainly wasn't intended to be dynamic. This is clearly 'bending the established rules'

There was never a rule against, even if dynamic usage wasn't expected or imagined (which I find unlikely). CSS allows it, therefore it's allowed by design.

> * Media query - So what, user agent gives this away mostly anyways

I was earnestly surprised how much data macOS and Android devices tend to put into the user agent. Not only the exact patch level of the browser, but also the OS patch level and Android devices even tend to broadcast the precise device model as well -- more accurately than just looking at the device!

Some examples:

Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; CPU OS 10_3_3 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/603.3.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/10.0 Mobile/14G60 Safari/602.1

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 11_2_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/604.4.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) iOS/16.0.7.121031 Mobile/15C153 Safari/9537.53

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 7.0; LG-H840 Build/NRD90U) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.111 Mobile Safari/537.36

A Linux in comparison:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0

While it includes the version number, no patch level (57.0.X) is included.
Probably not, you'd also need to disable a lot of other optimizations.

For example, a browser will not load an image if it's set to `display: none` in CSS (at least not right away). That could be abused to then trigger the download when CSS changes without a URL needing to be on the CSS at any point.

Daniel Ellsberg Is Still Thinking About the Papers He Didn’t Get to Leak
It’s worth noting that ‘fractional reserve’ isn’t really how banks work anymore. That model implies that banks require reserves to lend money, but they actually don’t (except in the countries that have a reserve requirement, for compliance reasons). The central bank does need to ensure that enough reserves exist in the system to have enough liquidity for banks to transfer money between them, but the banks tend to hold as little as possible, as in most places they don’t get any return on them, so they lend them to other banks (banks cannot lend reserves to individuals) or exchange them for bonds. If they need more to fulfil transfer requirements, they can just borrow them from other banks or the ‘lender of last resort’ - the central bank itself.

The interesting implication of this is that the central bank doesn’t really have direct control of the size of the money supply (as is implied by the ‘money multiplier’ myth). That is determined endogenously by the amount of lending the banks do (plus other sector’s - Government spending and current account surplus/deficit - contributions).

This Bank of England (UK central bank) paper explains how the banks originate money - https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/-/media/boe/files/quarterly-...
But better than diagraphs? It may be my bias as an English speaker/writer, but I'd pick sh over s’, for example.

The vowels are trickier, and just doubling them like Finnish would turn s’i’i’e into shiiiie, so you might need something (an apostrophe ;-) ?) to divide the syllables. I still like shii’iie better, but that's just one word.
I think someone will always be able to click the wrong link, especially if given the wrong information or confusing information "Give the message for PACOM CDW, ... Oh sorry you did the DRILL PACOM, right?" The larger problem was not having a quick system in place to redact an erroneous message.

But I've read a lot of suggestions like spreading items across multiple pages, adding passwords, or big warning colors and lines around the live options that are not just obfuscating/distracting/annoying but are bound to cause errors and open the door for even worse design.

this is probably regular, but I'm not praising "programmers" like that, just to be clear.

rewriting for the sake of it, with regression is plain bad

also just in case, I'm not saying sysadmin are lower; but their job is not to learn about programming languages and paradigm, so they don't know what goes on there. Now, that they can make good programs, sure. Having sound logic is not limited to "programmers".
>If yes, how come in such a regime? I would expect everything to be stuck in bureaucracy.

Haha you're funny... It's us in the West stuck with bureaucracy. China's growth is unprecedented, with a labor force that's becoming more educated and has always been very hungry for work (no beer or foosball needed). We're finally starting to see engineers and scientists trained here going back after they graduate. For a startup, China potentially has all the following advantages:

- Lower operating costs
- Less regulations
- Bigger market

Those are pretty huge.

Of course there's the big authoritarian elephant in the room, but in practice this is less detrimental to most startups than one would think.

Checkout SanFran - Lambda like serverless functions platform for Kubernetes https://github.com/dosco/sanfran

The main focus of its design was fast function startup time and horizontal scaling.

Fast function startup is done with a combination of pool of warm containers and instant container recycling.

As for horizontal scaling functions can themselves scale horizontally in high QPS situations and for large deployments every micro-service that makes up SanFran can itself be scaled horizontally.

Currently working on using machine learning to predictions to manage warm container pools.

Do you mean the numismatic notion of intrinsic value? Because that is a very different thing from saying economic intrinsic value. I’m not departing at all on the economic part, I am directly talking to that notion.
