Former startup CEO and VP. Bootstrapped a startup to $1M in revenue then sold it for an exit. My latest startup just had our previously committed funding pulled due to the global pandemic costing me my VP position.

Majority of experience is in business development, sales, product marketing, remote team management, and product development. Highly technical, former frontend coder, but now more focused on the business, marketing, scalability, and lead generation side of things.
100 more open-source UI designs uploaded
Uploaded another batch of designs to https://uidesigndaily.com/ - a few hundred more in the queue.

Also fixed some bugs and made some adjustments based on the feedback received from the soft launch.

Note for developers:
If you don’t have Sketch or a Mac, and you’d like to use a .sketch source file, remember that Figma is free to use, available for Windows and it opens the format!

What does open source design even mean?
You can download the design source files and look under the hood. If open source code is checking out the recipe of a piece of software, open source design is the same thing for a design.

The designs on the site are also free to use, modify etc.

Cueball: But all my friends—

Parent: If all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you jump too?

Cueball: Oh, jeez. Probably.

Parent: What!? Why!?

Cueball: Because all my friends did.

Cueball: Think about it — which scenario is more likely:

Cueball: Every single person I know, many of them levelheaded and afraid of heights, abruptly went crazy at exactly the same time...

Cueball: ...or the bridge is on fire?

Parent: ...I, uh...hmm.

Cueball: Imagine reading this on CNN: "Many fled their vehicles and jumped from the bridge. Those who stayed behind..."

Cueball: Is something good about to happen to those people?

I'm curious how large the development team is. There is an impressive community around OBS but seems to be many more requests for help rather than helpers.
It's incredible how it is visionary, articulated and spot-on and yet:

> Once we have market and mind share on the Web with our products, we can take a leadership role in expanding and shaping the Web.

They still want to strangle and submit the thing to their will and their will only.
That... I'm sorry, but that's just an utterly uninformed take.

Nobody "has" to be exposed, protective gear would work just fine. And no, exposing farmworkers doesn't help to flatten the curve. The curve would be equally flat if they weren't exposed.

What you just said is "Somebody has to die, let's kill the farmworkers so we're safe". You might want to rethink.

What we need to do is stop exploiting them. They're not at high risk because they need to be, they're at high risk because we're not paying them well. Because we withhold even the options for basic hygiene for them. Because we value profit over human life.

> This is like the GUI equivalent of running "apt install zoom" and the installation script killing the APT process and then running amok with its root privileges.

So in that case it seems like there is perhaps an issue on both sides.

- I understand that the OS API to get root/admin privileges likely exists for legacy app install reasons, but why should any install script even be able to run amok with admin privileges? Shouldn't privileges granted by this API this is using be sandboxed in the extreme? Something this sensitive shouldn't be left to the honor system of the app developer.

- Independently, I still don't understand why Zoom needs admin privs on Mac when it clearly doesn't need them when installed as a browser extension. I'm using it just fine in Chrome all the time - no admin rights needed.
With server-side-rendered HTML, this could have been done in ~3 hours :P
All remote work is not created equal. I think an aspect of remote work being a more seamless/smoother transition is for the distributed team to be in the same time zone or have less than 1 hour time difference. At my current company, we have conference calls between SF-Portland without much change in work/life. We evan have virtual lunches together.

I recall having to do SF-Asia and even SF-Dallas and SF-Europe calls in my previous job and I was burnt out real quick. Just trying to plan a meeting that wasn't already a recurring scheduled meeting took about 2 days.

[EDIT] Based on the initial responses I changed it from the same time zone being a key aspect to an aspect which makes the transition seamless/smoother.

The discussion of Zoom caused me to look into what FaceTime does. AFAIKT, there is no protection against MITM attacks by Apple against FaceTime. So in the end we have to trust Apple much like we have to trust Zoom. Of course one of those parties might be a lot more trustworthy than the other but the point still stands. For the sort of protection that e2e can provide the user has to have the ability to verify who they are talking to. Both Apple and Zoom are misleading by omission, one more than the other.
Because it isn't a fact and is downright false. China isn't great for a number of reasons and their suppression of information may have made this worse but blaming them wholesale for this outbreak is just silly.
I'm curious about your business model. How do you plan to differentiate yourself from other very similar SAAS? Are you marketing to a particular segment?
Hi HN,

This is a OSS project I wrote last weekend for deploying puppeteer scripts to AWS lambda in just 1 click.

I made it to scratch my own itch since I like to create such scripts to monitor my website, do some testing but so far I only run them locally and I always wanted a solution where I could deploy them to a server and have the tests done automatically every few hours/day.

Unfortunately deploying puppeteer script to lambda isn't easy. There are solutions available like using serverless with aws-chrome-lambda but it's quite complicated and requires lots of configuration and knowledge of serverless framework. So my aim was to make it super easy and require no knowledge of any thing besides writing pupeteer scripts.

For the curious here is how it works (this is all setup for you automatically when you type llp deploy):

- LLP turns your puppeter scripts (aka puppets) into AWS lambda compatible scripts

- It then creates an entry in AWS API Gateway so that you can invoke your puppets from a URL

- If you're creating a cron job, it add entries to AWS cloudwatch to invoke your puppets at said times

- It monitors the outputs of your puppets and it can send you alerts on telegram, email or URL ping. This is great for creating puppets that monitor website uptime, or changes in webpage.

Hope you guys like it. Your feedback is most welcome
I didn't mean to suggest they're better developers per se, but there's very little malware that comes out of Canada so with limited information about the trustworthiness of this application it might be inherently less sketchy than camera/mic capture software that comes out of some other countries. That said, they are in Quebec. :D

yes they are, which is why farms have been declared essential, along with their supply chain.

It has a browser because one of its features is a browser.

"Browser source is one of the most versatile sources available in OBS. It is, quite literally, a web browser that you can add directly to OBS. This allows you to perform all sorts of custom layout, image, video, and even audio tasks. Anything that you can program to run in a normal browser (within reason, of course), can be added directly to OBS."

Which must have been useful enough as a plugin that it got added to the standard install.

Then people shouldn't buy the produce. There's no universal law saying you're entitled to your strawberries.

If this approach is unsustainable (and it would be), then there are a lot of other things that need to change. What doesn't need to happen is us shrugging our shoulders, saying "meh, farmworkers need to suffer, it's too expensive otherwise"
I think that the first-class Google Fi devices have shown a path where CDMA and UMTS networks like Sprint and T-Mobiles can coexist on the same phone. Basically, the phone uses geolocation and a database of signal strength to determine which network to prefer in a particular location. It hangs up the baseband on one network and switches to the other. (Disclaimer: work for Google but not on the Android or Fi teams. Know nothing that isn't public.)
This comes right on time!
I was looking for some tracking apps yesterday, but wasn't satisfied with any of the choices.

I went for an Apple Shortcut instead `speedy time tracker`.

However, I will switch to yours to show support!

It would definitely be nice to add shortcut capabilities in the future :)

My Feedback:

- Starting/Stopping timers should happen on press of list item

- Editing should happen on swipe left (essentially swapping start and edit)

- Running times could be indicated in the list itself, no need for separate section "Running Timers"

- If, I want to resume, eg. Work, a dropdown appears, eventually leading to Work (total time)> Work (time1), Work (time2), which makes it hard to resume (Now I have to open the list)

What I can see happening in my work place is more people might take work at home days.

My employer has been going this direction for almost 20 years. It started with allowing remote employees before I started 18 years ago. Then a merger with another company 7 years ago forced everybody to adopt good "remote" meeting practices. And since then, people have been a lot more comfortable working remotely, part-time or full-time. If 100% of meetings have at least 1 remote, it's a lot less stressful to be remote yourself.
I interviewed there a couple years back. They had a pretty "startup" vibe, pay will be nothing close to google and COL in DC is very high.
TBF I think that exceptions are fair game. I'm thinking of spring breakers in Florida. Sure most college students are taking the virus seriously and sheltering in place, but the if there's an appreciable number who aren't, that is newsworthy.
Most everything on the Tesla screen is non-essential other than the current speed (which while driving is always displayed prominently in a large font and in the closest place) and possibly some alerts that rarely happen, such as “tire pressure low” in actual words, not just a cryptic glowing red icon on the dashboard.
I heard that they also mixed his DNA with that of a frog.
I'm thinking on a higher level - what we have is exactly that the data is on servers and that people do not have control over their own hardware.

And that the cheap hardware is good enough.

This is not different than Verizon, and never was. (It was hard to get a phone that supported Verizon from anywhere else due to band differences largely, but if you had an unlocked phone that could run Verizon's network, they were and still are legally obligated to activate it.)

T-Mobile just claimed their payment plan, which shafted you if you canceled service, wasn't an ETF (it is), and Verizon just said their early termination fee was part of the plan, though it was really paying off the rest of the phone (which it did). In both cases, you're paying off a phone you bought, and keeping it after ending service.

The only real difference was that in the past, you were "paying for the phone" on Verizon monthly even if you didn't actually upgrade/buy a phone from them. But since the vast majority of people buy phones from their carrier, it really impacted the bottom line very, very little. The HN crowd over-represents in the tiny group of people that would bring an outside phone to their carrier.

A change which materially impacts less than 5% of your customers isn't game-changing, but T-Mobile marketed it like it was important to 100% of their customers.

This is absolutely true in practice, but there are degrees. Approximately 0 people are going to go full tinfoil hat and setup their own self-hosted FOSS solution, but we absolutely should care if a product like Zoom does something like, say, installs a local web server to bypass security controls on a user's browser which can potentially open up any number of devastating remote exploits that would be easy to exploit by any script-kiddy.

The fact that most users don't care is more reason why product developers HAVE to care. I could just as easily say "only paranoid security people care if we hash their passwords in our database so why waste the CPU cycles?" And I would be right, the vast majority of users don't know anything about storing passwords securely but they absolutely care whether their passwords get pilfered by an attacker and used to compromise their account.
Some of that is the developers being practical. If they went through and updated all of the ABIs it would take years (it took years to update just time_t to 64 bits!) and people would be constantly hounding them to just let them use their 8GB of memory. Stdio is just one of thousands of cases where decisions from the 70s no longer make sense on modern machines. Plus every change you make is going to break some app somewhere, so if you change everything at once it causes chaos in the userland.

This is one reason why developing new languages is so appealing. You don't have to worry about breaking old code or maintaining workarounds for long-extinct machine architectures. Of course that's ruined the first time someone writes something in your new language.
Too much risk things go back to the status quo if we wait. You can still advocate for meaningful change without impacting care. Definitely do not impact care, but do not put yourself in harm's way if not necessary for the sake of management.

If enough medical providers are fired who are desperately needed, the government will step in to replace health system administration.

That was also my first impression. Not to devaluate the value of any type of handholding.
I think the hardest part in this process is becoming an "influencer".

Recently I've been playing around making leather goods, so that took me into rabbit hole of seeing who is selling their stuff and what is working.
Ultimately, I came to the conclusions that in any commodity physical product market, brand is the only "network effect" that you can build some kind of a differentiation around.

I think "celebrities" will be looking at extending their financial opportunities of their fame (as it doesn't last forever) beyond the existing endorsement model (that are sometimes just transactional) so having your own line of product and gathering ongoing additional revenues from it will appeal to many of them. It's possible the product gathers enough distribution that the product line itself can help the longevity of the "influencer".

Ultimately, like Etsy, it might become a saturated market. We might be far from that today, but the interesting question is, what happens when every celebrity is selling their own soap, glasses, bags (assuming a parity in observable quality among these products), etc.

Does it then just come down to continual relationship building between the influencer and the buyers and that is what will continue fueling the market differentiation.

Note that big farmers tend to be careful about illegal labor. When you have millions of dollars in land, you stand to lose a lot if some prosecuter is looking for an example. Smaller guys don't have as much to lose and can appear sympathetic against the big government so they are more likely to risk it.
Sprint literally had to give their service away it was so bad. They ran that first year free promotion for years. I'm not sure the other networks were exactly quaking in their boots over that "competition." Verizon and AT&T have always been the first class carriers. If T-mobile can fully catch up to them in coverage that increases competition instead of diminishing it.

I agree that Dish is unlikely to become a major player. This is a desperation move for them as their satellite business dies.
