I don't get it. The ability to source some js and then add a <custom-element> wherever you want just like it was a built in element is one of the best things to ever happen to web design. This is what we should have had ten years ago, not the post-jquery framework madness we have now.

I do think it was dumb that <style scoped> got removed though.
That would allow you to move capacity around. Not sure if intubated patients could be monitored remotely though I'm just not sure if they only need vitals monitoring or if they require a present person doing something there.

That is a neat thing though I didn't know about. Wonder if hospital networks could handle the feeds properly, getting the equipment setup would take a bit but it should all be doable with consumer grade stuff.
Looks interesting, making a note for when they release a Web/Windows version.
Whoops. You are correct. We were both wrong, Lariam is what I was thinking of.
> The output of web design is, ultimately, HTML and CSS

The output of web design is ultimately a rendered, interactive webpage. We approve or reject websites by viewing them in a browser, not by looking at their code.

> a designer without full mastery of at least HTML and CSS doesn't really deserve his title.

Add to this the fact that the vast majority of web developers are very far from having a "mastery" of HTML and CSS. It's a huge API full of hacks and pitfalls.

Teach rudimentary HTML and CSS to a designer and they'll begin to think in that rudimentary interface, forgetting a competent developer with their far greater arsenal of tricks and tools can actually implement any UI they could imagine.

Your argument could apply to a field where the path from idea to end product is more straightforward. For instance, a comic book writer is expected to master the full pipeline from idea to colored page. A Disney concept artist on the other hand, is absolutely not required to know anything about 3d modeling. Web design mostly falls into that later category, we don't want our designers' creativity burdened by our medium's tedium.

Legally, it is stealing. However, just because something is illegal doesn't make it wrong.

However, you could also think of it like the digital equivalent of sharing. If someone purchases a movie or TV series on physical disks, they could loan it to you without breaking the law. In fact, they could even make a copy of the disk and not break the law. The only way to break the law this way is by having multiple copies in use at the same time. This is just digital sharing without checks in place to make sure multiple copies of the content aren't used simultaneously.

That being said, who is really harmed when I give someone a copy for free? I'm not stealing from the content creator (I paid, after all), and I'm not selling it, and there's no guarantee that the person I gave it to would have purchased it. If the creator hasn't lost anything and I'm not taking credit for it, nobody was harmed. In my eyes, this makes piracy acceptable as long as I don't sell it.

If we didn't have such strong copyright protections, content creators would be forced to compete with piracy by offering convenience, but instead they sue. Netflix has proven to reduce piracy because they offer convenience, but that only works for content they can provide.

String vs. Andstr in Rust
Hi HackerNews!

I noticed here entrepreneurs would often discuss mindsets and different approaches to improving oneself. This makes perfect sense to me, as the ability to think clearly, make fast and good decisions and be productive are critical for entrepreneurs. I believe that actually as much as we focus on company growth we should focus on our personal growth as the main success factor for your venture.

These personal growth conversations happen mostly spontaneously, like in r/Entrepreneur. Can we make the effort to consciously grow & improve ourselves as a weekly practice?

I started to build a platform focusing on the founder's personal growth. Founders sign up and paired-up each week, connect via videoconference to coach each other on their unique goals, whether it is to improve discipline, focus, creativity, decision-making - any kind of meta-skill goal. Every week you will meet a different founder - to maximize diversity of viewpoints on your situation and exchange tools & approaches different founders use. To facilitate interactions we would regularly send bite-sized content about frameworks and tools to have better conversations.

So far it is a basic system and we just started. I wonder what would you like to have in your perfect programme for founder’s personal development? Any ideas for a better way to facilitate the whole process online?
Disclaimer: I live in a relatively prosperous community. My perspective is skewed accordingly.

Your numbers seem fictitious to me. 78% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck? Look at what they are spending their paycheck on. One car per person. 2.1 people per house. 3.2 game consoles per person. A new laptop every 15 months. A new car every 36 months. A new $800 smartphone every 11 months.

Every low-income 10 year old I see is carrying around $1000+ of electronics and treating them like they're disposable. But our school district offers free breakfast to 100% of the students. We have student parking lots for 16 year old kids.

We're all living paycheck to paycheck, but I claim there is still huge excess. Giant houses for average families, computers, ATVs, boats, cars, TVs, 2 movies every night, 4 Amazon deliveries a week, direct access to Chinese suppliers, personal juice presses, occasional cruises.

Air-bnb and uber are not luxuries for 1%ers. These are basic human rights chiseled into the constitution.

There are, of course, truly poor people in the population. But our definition of poor sure has changed a lot in 50 years.

Show me any random collection of 10,000 Americans and I will show you $2 million/year of disposable income without sacrificing a single smartphone or smart TV.

Ventilators aren't expensive because manufacturers are sitting around scheming how to buy more yachts. Those devices require a lot of testing, insurance and quality assurance. If someone dies because your device malfunctioned, you're going to get sued - and you should.

The last thing we want is for "the government" to go around seizing production capacity from companies that have successfully produced these units for decades. When you imagine "the government", don't imagine your ideal policitian in a cape - you should imagine the bloke down at the local tax office who keeps opening obvious malware emails.

Corporations are not your faceless enemy, they're the ones who've helped your hospitals become amazing in the last few decades.

Honestly, not that much has changed. People are panicking due to mass hysteria. But, this isn't that bad.

Maybe I used to it. My country has had just as massive dengue, swine flu and bird flu epidemics over the last decade. People died in huge numbers just the same. Just that, the ones at risk were mostly really poor people in a 3rd world country, so no one cared enough to force such a response.

My friend jokes that the only reason this pandemic is so serious, is because it's the only one that seriously affects white boomers. I'm not sure if he is entirely wrong.

If I accept your argument that a mask doesn't stop you from receiving it (which I doubt):

If it were a social norm to wear a mask during an outbreak, and 50% of the population did, it would reduce the spread of the virus greatly. Far from bloody useless. Americans are locked into individualistic thinking: "How will this benefit me?". Also consider asymptomatic transmission.

That ship sailed a very long time ago.

WebComponents is dead simple compared to React, TypeScript, WebPack and all the complex tooling which developers are essentially forced to use these days due to a lack of alternatives.

Better than $1000 would be codified protections for tenants or borrowers. Yes, this doesn't have to be an either-or thing, but I'd still want to have the law on my side.

I guess what I mean is that in order to fix, as Yang says, the biggest winner take all economy, you have to do something different than just throw money at it (lest the winners take that, too). The goal should be to address why we're here in the first place to make sure it doesn't happen again (at least not to this level), and not to just barely get by and bounce right back to being one inconvenience away from ruin.
Instead of giving money, why not suspend debt payments and interest growth?
It's not entirely absurd IMO, it could be that iTunes did so well because Kazaa, et al., had laid the groundwork for an expectation of "any tune, any time" and iTunes came closest to that?
> Why would a manufacturer consider damaging what is a potential mega cash cow?

There's no way the current problem is only the price, for sure they are already trying to sell the most they can, they simply can't produce enough of them. Allowing some kind of shadow production, handled by the manufacturer can only means much more product made thus sold. It's a win-win for both the manufacturer and the government.

> We're much better off right now with the government seizing the means of production and figuring out how to make as many as possible.

Sure that would work, but that's always been true for anything. If the government could seize production, it would be "cheaper" to produce because the cost of R&D and production has been already done. That's not healthy though, that will now be an added risk in the industry that will have a cost to be mitigated.

Lets works together, not against eachother.
Bingo. Gold is pretty straightforward -- shiny metal. You don't need any understanding of cryptography, networking, distributed services, or modulus calculus to "get" gold.

You also don't need electricity (or most other modern luxury) to modify, trade, or use gold -- plenty of gold changing hands throughout the ages.

Cryptographic currencies have their use, but if the economy is looking shaky I'd rather have cash, gold, silver, cans of beans, or ammunition; BTC wouldn't even rank top 25.

The author's assessment of the "no-code" and "hybrid tools" landscape is either lazy or a joke. Here are a few more:

No-code tools for apps & websites:

- Webflow
- Glide
- SquareSpace
- Dreamweaver [1]
- Visly

Hybrid "designer/developer connectors"

- Hadron
- Modulz [2]
- Interplay [3]
- Haiku [4]
- Zeplin
- Zeroheight [5]
- InVision DSM [5]

Sad to see this blog post on the front page of HN since it's such a poor representation of this landscape. Hopefully this comment helps in a small way :)

--

[1] yeah it still exists, and yeah it's pretty much still Webflow as a 90's-vintage desktop app.

[2] Modulz' product doesn't exist yet, but they've built hype. Caveat emptor.

[3] Just like Modulz, but from what I've seen there's more execution and less hype.

[4] My company: we pivoted our original "designer/developer connector" into an animation tool — we're launching our new collaboration tool soon.

I do think that they were being "more honest" than other cloud providers, since I've noticed that almost every PAAS or SAAS will have brief outages for small sections of the userbase that aren't mentioned on their status page, either out of laziness or for the PR.

The debt payments go to someone. Suspending those still creates a cashflow hole.

I haven’t fully thought through the effects of handing out cash, just wanted to point out that suspending debts isn’t costless. Landlords would reduce spending, and banks might slip into crisis.

And what of those with no debt, but who can’t work due to virus? Or those with debt, but who can’t work? They still need to eat.

Part of the reason why all applications suck on Microsoft Windows at "enterprise" companies is the intrusive malware (I believe I can call it that). My i3-2100 desktop at home with a hard disk and 8 GB RAM feels just about as slow as my i5-8400 desktop at work with also a hard disk and 16 GB RAM.

I asked an IT guy at work why we have hard disks and he said we have some contract with HP that requires us to buy all hard disks and SSD through HP and they are expensive because enterprise support. Makes no sense to me.

but back to the topic, if you're an internal customer, can't you put pressure within the organization to improve the tools you use? If it is that slow, there must be some pretty low hanging fruits?
Then, just undeface it.
What? Cloud is very relevant. Unless you mean IBM and Oracle cloud...yeah those are irrelevant.
This is a good move on their part (assuming they go through with it). People tend to think of restaurant owners like this as “the rich”, but if you look at the numbers there’s actually not that much profit in a single restaurant. The only ones who make good money own a bunch of them. Even then, the profit margins are pretty low, and they’re going to struggle to remain profitable.
Same here. I’ve been going for some video game-y escapism the last few days, and finding every other game I load has some sort of Infectious apocalypse built into the premise (Dishonored, Division 2, They Are Billions).
It's a large company with thousands of employees, and the company has stepped on a lot of toes by out-competing many, many brick and mortar retailers, so there is "consumer demand" for reports of their inherent wickedness and every malcontent gets a microphone.

I repeat the same question -- if they don't like it there so much, why not go work for Walmart? Or Target, Home Depot, BJ's, etc.?

If the way they're attracting employees is by offering better pay and benefits than competitors rather than by offering a less demanding job, it's not as if that isn't public information. Why would you choose a thing and then object to the trade offs inherent in it?

People have this desire for them to do both, but if the job was less demanding then they could attract employees with less compensation, and they'd have every reason to not pay as much. So why is it wrong for employees to prefer to get paid more in exchange for fewer breaks?

It's like people hate for anybody to have a choice. If you work for Amazon you get paid more but work inflexible hours with limited breaks. If you work for Uber you get paid less but you set your own hours and can take a break whenever you want. Yet somehow both of these are put up as examples of mistreatment. They're just the trade offs inherent in the unskilled labor market.
Ah, the overflowing privilege of handing out entitlements? Your brethren doesn’t own the language either, you know that right?
> They just got more customers. They already have a surplus of supply.

Um, wouldn't that be increased demand? More customers with more money. That's the definition of more demand.

How should I split equity?
I was approached by a friend to who had an idea for an app. I told him I would build the app.

The App is almost done and we plan to go to market on mid May.

He claims he already spent 20k on the following:
- Wireframe Designs
- Branding and Logo creation
- Customer Research study (user testing)
- Blog and content creation
- Landing page creation
- Marketing Campaigns (google ads, facebook, instagram, etc)
- Hosting
- Legal costs (trademark patent, incorporation, minute book, etc

And now is offering me 30% equity in a vesting schedule of 3 years with a 6 months cliff.

I believe a fair split is where I have at least 50% of the company.

Is he offer fair since I'm the one actually building the whole app? What is your opinion on this situation?

Other notes:
- He has incorporated already and would be issuing new shares to me
- He doesn't have access to the source code
