I'm excited about this (and all things Sketch-related), but I thought this was a product release from the makers of Sketch until I saw the disclaimer at the bottom.

$39 seems fair, though I'd rather see this as an open-source project that the community could contribute back to. According to the changelog, this is a v1 release and the website contains no statements about the $39 buying future updates for new features or updated versions of Sketch, which is disappointing.

Aside from a few screenshots, it would be nice to have a YouTube video demonstrating how it works in practice, in real-time, especially considering the terms stating: "As a customer you are responsible for understanding this upon purchasing any item from Sketch Design System".

I wouldn't buy it without more information, and knowing who is behind it. There's no "about" section on the website with a real person identified. The domain WHOIS data is a proxy service.
I'm the oldest guy on my team and have an architect title, yet I'm having a very hard time getting my younger colleagues to adopt CI/CD, microservices and agile. Some of them know what they are and that they sound cool, but don't know how to do it. Some of them actively oppose it.

Any particular biographies on da Vinci you'd recommend? Particularly any that made him come across as a dabbler. I think I have a similar method of working on personal projects, and I'm curious to see how it worked in others.

That's not a huge obstacle if you know what you're doing. Color is only one tool in the arsenal - shade, shape, pattern and outline can all be used to visually distinguish UI elements.
Part of the answer is to make it a fixed percentage of the GDP. That would make it politically harder to change, while having a natural fail-safe if it turns out UBI kills productivity
Some holes that were dug with an agency designed explicitly to give job guarantee in the 1930s:

Government standards never allow only color distinction. There always must be an additional factor than just color.

For instance, here's some icons from NATO, which used to be MIL-STD-2525. You'll notice that all the icons differentiate in both color and form. The NTDS standards for Naval systems are similar.

Actually there are legal repercussions, and in the case of disasters like fires the federal government will actually replace your cash. Planet money had a great episode on this https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2017/06/30/535062249/epis...
There are plenty of possible charity improvements, but I think anyone who has accidentally sent an email should understand what this really needs: A countdown timer in the 10-30 second range with a clear, bold description of what it will do, and a cancel button. There should be no way to skip the timer. I'd be amazed if no one said "wait, shit" within 10 seconds of clicking the wrong link.
This may sound like a naive question, but how does this compare to say, trees?
This is a great teaching moment for anyone who works in UX or observability, but it's worth keeping in mind that the FCC's Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (who operate the Emergency Alert Service (EAS)) has a yearly operating budget of around $17MM this year. The system itself was launched in 1997.

This is a legacy software (and hardware!) system with a relatively small budget and number of employees that needs to coordinate with other large organizations (FEMA, HI-EMA, NOAA, etc.). I think the most interesting lessons to learn from this have to do with long term software maintenance. I'm sure folks at the FCC/*EMA knew that this UI was janky but why did they not have the budget/power to fix it? How do we ensure that the public sector can benefit from the technical advances that most people on hacker news take for granted? Curious to hear from folks with experience in relevant parts of the government.
If somebody's going to do anything like this, I'd think it should be "guaranteed minimum education." As long as you're in school and getting good grades, you get a basic living stipend.
> like Switzerland, where 55% of farmer income comes from the state

Paying half of farmer's wages to make small scale farming more tenable and accessible is not digging holes and filling them again.

In New England, there are lots of hobby farmers who would love to do it full time but cannot support themselves + a few employees to scale it into a full time thing. This might not create farmers from scratch where there are none, but it could make New England farmers + farms more like the Swiss: Small scale but still viable, distributed, and well, subsidized.

Especially in the current market though, profits are increased through numerous different levers. For awhile, it was price price price, and the lowest won. This built the Chinese outsourcing manufacturing engines and the Walmart stores, and now Amazon is eating them in the same way.

Now however it's becoming more fashionable to not simply have the cheapest price, but to have things like socially responsible sourcing of products (coffee especially does this), low friction purchasing processes and easy returns (Amazon), companies that make note of being produced in the same country, companies that make efforts to take care of their own staff making it more palatable to pay more to ensure the people making what you consume are paid living wages, or subscription convenience allow products that are technically higher priced to compete in the market much more effectively than previous years.

I.e. the drumbeat of the last few decades, where employees are paid the bare minimum possible, where corners are cut at every aspect, where service and quality take a backseat to just the lowest possible price, are going out of fashion. The rules of the game are changing, and so the players must also change.

Ask HN: Free DJVU reader for iOS
I use iPhone 6s Plus / iOS 10 and read books a lot, on an everyday basis. Many of the books I want to read are available only in DJVU format.
I tried many free apps like DjVu Reader, KyBook & TotalReader. All of these apps are based on freemium model, if I'm not wrong. KyBook lets you read free for sometime & then asks you to upgrade.

Would anyone here kindly suggest some free & decent DJVU readers available on the AppStore, preferably those which have been tried & tested by HN users?
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks :)
maybe they can just shower them with water?
That's certainly true, except that these are people with boatload of money who, objectively, decided to leave quite a bit of it on a table time and time again. Something that cannot be said about anyone else in this game.
Hi Marak!

Hats off to you. I remember when talking with Asim Aslam about him going and creating micro (https://github.com/micro), a microservices framework, I tried to advise him to go high level, as high level as possible and create a complete platform.

I used hook.io as the example of a project which is on the right path. He said the world is not ready for it. I said some day someone will make a tool like hook.io and promote it well and get incredibly popular.

Turns out we were both right. Seems like the world is ready for these kind of solutions now, and you were ahead of the curve with hook.io.
Well, quantum mechanical explanations for why light refracts may be in some sense wrong, since we know QM still hasn't been harmonized with relativity very well, but "neat" and to some extent "plausible", definitely not, at least by the person on the street's standard.

I suggest you think a bit more before you fling a quote at somebody as if it's the last word on a topic; at the very least you should make sure it is actually applicable to the topic at hand.
I had a really great manager on my 1st job, but due to limited experience I did not recognize and appreciate it at that time.

Not that it would have changed my decision to leave, the commute was terrible and I wasn't willing to move.

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear and also for belaboring the point. I wasn't referring to separate dialects, but local non northern mandarin which gets pronounced slightly differently than received pronunciation.

A brief example, yes/is, approx [shi], might be pronounced approx [si], etc. But it's mandarin and not hakka, min, etc.

Webtask is a solid and well designed product. Kudos to Tomasz Janczuk and his team at Auth0.

The only thing I don't like about Webtask is that it's not an open-source project, so there is no way for me to run their backend on my own hardware ( like a raspberry pi ).

I was curious too. The only noteworthy conclusion I could make from my research is that there are a lot of people associated with the company that have sort-of-Russian-sounding names. That's a pretty weak argument that they are Russian Mafia, however, and I didn't see any stronger evidence.

"If unforeseen complications arose during or after the procedure, the Surgery Center would cover those costs. Villa wouldn't see another bill."

So there is a sort of built-in insurance to this system. Those who don't have any complications are paying more to cover patients who do. They're simply passing the first line of medical costs (known, anticipated, where a price estimate can be created) on to consumers while letting insurance handle un-estimatable medical emergency type situations.

Someone posted a screenshot of a different EAS alert interface on twitter:

https://twitter.com/supersat/status/952612571122630659

It has a similar list of alert "templates" as this one, but in addition it has a confirmation box with a radio button "send TEST only / SEND EAS LIVE", and if you select the "send live" option you must enter an authorization code.

It would be interesting to see what the rest of the user interface looks like, if the hawaii one has something similar.
The analogy makes sense but is much easier to see in hindsight. Plenty of people during the Depression bought stock after they believed the market bottomed out only to witness their wealth go to nothing because the market continued shrinking after short periods of growth. It’s almost impossible to know whether a crash has turned around when it’s happening.

Dollar cost averaging, diversifying assets, and keeping liquid on hand is easier than trying to predict the market.
AMP is all fine, but most of the newspapers are lured to implement it by Google with promise of higher page rank on its search results. It all ends up in a walled garden and when the publishers are reliant on it, Google will control the chain of supply. Disgusting behaviour.

Trees don’t do much for PM2.5. They are a reasonable solution for dust storms, which do generate lots of (but not all) PM10.
The bureaucracy typically help business when it works. It’s not meant to be directed by day-to-day driven politicians or exposed to lobbyism. It’s supposed to be a safety net to make sure society keeps on track as it speeds along.

That’s what it is in China, with the added benefit of it actually supporting their local and hindering foreign businesses.

In a lot of areas it’s us in the west who are stuck behind a hopelessly inefficient bureaucracy, but on the upside, you’re less likely to drop through a poorly constructed escalator or have your local lake filled with industrial waste (well, unless you’re American I guess).
Keeping old code running within Google is surprisingly hard...

Most big services (eg. Google Docs) have entire teams of people who run them (SRE's). Without those people to keep the system going, it would probably break within a few weeks.
>but I'd be surprised if the number was non-zero (think in terms of car crashes, stress-aggravated cerebrovascular accidents, and so on).

I'm assuming you meant you'd be surprised if that number was zero. It's awfully hard to, in good faith, directly associate a message with a death. I mean if you wanted to make it seem bigger than it was, you could associate any crash or heart related death that happened in that 38 minute (?) period as directly a result of the warning, but I don't think that would be in good faith.
And with every single modification, at least one person involved said, "this sucks, can we redesign it yet?", and was told, "no, we don't want to spend the money on that right now."

It's a catch-22 for developers in this position: you have to be able to justify every single major improvement from a position of cost-benefit to the business, but to do that adequately well enough to convince a client to spend the money requires up-front time and money expenditure that is hard to justify until after it's done.

I find it nuts that numbers are unmodified but delimiters like that are not when I mostly use my (US ANSI macOS layout) keyboard for front end coding. My fix was space cadet modifiers. Tapping left/right shift produces opening/closing parenthesis, command does curly braces, and option does angle brackets. Also caps lock is control but tapping it is double quote. You may find with this approach that you have way more keys at your fingertips than you thought.

Holy shit. That is not even a "pull down menu" as previously reported.

Good to know. This means that in Hawaii, you should only think about taking action if the magic FALSE ALARM notice never appears.

If the FALSE ALARM notice doesn't appear within an hour, it might just be that the false alarm guy is on lunch break. If it doesn't appear in 8 hours, it might mean that a shift change occurred without proper hand-off. If it fails to appear in 24 hours, a nuclear attack might actually be imminent, and you should check other sources, to determine if the alarm was, in fact, real.

This protocol ensures that archaeologists will receive a valid record, omitting the false alarm notice in the rocks on the other side. Eventual consistency ensures that before the archaeological record is written, a false alarm notice will appear, if the alarm was indeed false. In all other cases, the alarm is effectively revealed to history to be a true alert, at some point in the future, as yet to be determined.

Every body you add to such a project today would cost well over $100K per body. Not only are you paying the worker, you need a manager for that worker, a manager for the manager. And then you'd have to pay more because unskilled labour today would slow the project down significantly.

The alternative is UBI, which should cost under $20K per body, and would give people an alternative to accepting a BS market-driven job just to put food on the table.
Devil's advocate: Google is generous by caching AMP sites on their own servers. The only thing you can't do is to include your own invasive third party tracking (ok, you can use Google's of course), which is bad anyway. But you can still include your ad just as a <img> in the page, no JS and tracking. Like a dumb print ad. I don't really have a problem with that.
"Wong also claims knowledge of a large swath of Levandowski’s personal and business dealings.

This sounds a lot like she was spying on him for trade secrets. Also, the BDSM gear is completely irrelevant to anything.

It's simply that Portugal hasn't legalised anything, so they're not in conflict with their treaty obligations. The same as the Netherlands, use is simply decriminalised, not legalised.
And if people want to do drugs all day ? In Belgium there's no time limit to unemployment benefits and the government doesn't really check if you're looking for work. The result is a lot of people who have spent decades unemployed, spending most of their time drinking and watching TV. The result hasn't been a scientific & creative boom, but a massive social disaster.
Our local lakes are still pretty clean, Trump hasn’t dismantled the EPA (yet).

Farm subsidies often have a national security origin.

Norwegian farming subsidies for example to date still is based on a principle of food security that first gained widespread support in Norway as a result of the British naval blockade of Denmark-Norway during the Napoleonic wars that caused occasional famines.

The importance of this was driven home again during World War 2.

So protectionist, yes, but widespread support has largely boiled down to food security rather than caring particularly much about farmers.
