There are lots of resources available, but I think following a design process might really help you most at this point.[1] You're going to need to conform the the style and practices of of the larger piece to which your part will fit in. Good design has to be consistent so that the user can have a continuous understanding. From this perspective, might it be possible to generate "working art" and approach the final visual treatment later? Also, for "beautiful" design to shine, usually this involves the removal of all extraneous elements, since good design is really about distillation.

Rough Design Process [2]

1. Discover

- Have you identified your users and the need that you are hoping to solve with this "part/feature"?

- Usually users are broken into different segments, a persona is just like a rough representative sample of the different segments.

- It sounds like you work for a for-profit organization, therefore you must also understand who your stake holders are and what they think the business needs are (they can be wrong and you might have to help correct this).

- Are there already people doing something like what you're trying to do? Not only should you benchmark competitors, you can look for analogous situations in totally different domains and still use this to help inform you.

- Redefine the problem your own way.

- review research claims, scientific literature, external info

2. Ideate
- explore insights

- design objectives

- develop user POV and need statement

3. Create

- low fidelity prototypes based on the perspective of your user needs and POV from (2), explore solutions to the problems

- you should be going for volume at this stage because this is a discovery oriented process for finding unknown unknowns

4. Test

- escalate the fidelity of prototypes enough that you can gain feedback from potential or actual target users

- end points for higher resolution prototypes should definite measurable analytics and success metrics so some prototypes can be selected for further refinement, ideation and testing

- you can conduct formal usability testing, but the point of a prototype is to create an object to fuel conversation and discovery

Go to your city hall or their website and see if they have an organizational chart. For some of us one thing will overwhelmingly stick out. For others it's just business as usual.

This did not happen. Local industry collapsed and ushered in slumlords. City living has only started trending up within the last 2 decades.

Banks still rely on an outdated, and I would say racist, method of property valuation called "comps". The value of the property around you determines the value of the property you are buying. If you are trying to rehabilitate a distressed neighborhood you can't use that method. You'll end up with situations like this. Needing hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans meanwhile the buildings around you are valued at $0.

Of course you don't have to take my word for it. HUD has a whole enforcement arm targeting racial discrimination in banking [0].

On abortion it would be 1 if you're in favor of total ban and 0 if you're in favor of no regulation whatsoever.

On free healthcare it would be 0 if you want no state involvement whatsoever and 1 if you want free tax-payed healthcare for every citizen.

Etc.

It doesn't even matter which way the 0 and 1 are.
Hermann Hauser: ARM sale to Nvidia would be a disaster
Yes, you are right, most of my grievances were against RSS - either old RDF, or RSS 2.0, or perhaps against Atom 0.3, which was not all that common before much better Atom 1.0 took over.

Still, I vaguely recall that there was at least one vagueness in the Atom 1.0 spec that I found abused in a real world feed, but can't for the life of me remember it - it's been a while.
Ask HN: Selling or buying a project? (August 2020)
There's a rise of "micro-acquisitions" platforms lately where one can sell their side project, e.g., a bootstrapped SaaS, a mobile app, etc. I figured that the HN community is likely also to have some projects they are considering selling.

> enabling the explosion of post-Enlightenment technical progress is built.

The same metaphysical view you're describing also enabled utopian totalitarian visions like Nazism and Communism. Communism famously proposes a view of the world that sees everything through the lens of materialism. This discussion is much deeper than what a thread on HN can really do justice to. I would just strongly urge you to consider reading Beyond Good and Evil for a different perspective and study of this question by a great thinker.

> to the “postmodern” left and cite as a key reason for rejecting the left.)

Postmodernism hinges on whether or not there is an objective set of values. Conservatives believe there is (the Bible, natural law, God, etc) whereas Postmodernists believe there isn't.

Everything I've said holds true regardless of where you come down on that. Personally yes I believe there is an objective set of values.
The trouble with the post wasn't the information, but the way it was presented. The HN guidelines state "Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

"Just a reminder" isn't a good way to start such a conversation. It implies that there is already a consensus on the issue when there isn't.
I'm going to be a nonconformist myself and oppose the near-univeral approval of Sowell in this discussion. His book Basic Economics was the first book on econ that I read, and I was very impressed by it. It reaffirmed the rather right-wing political views that I'd inherited from my parents. However, after taking a few introductory econ classes at university and doing further reading on my own, Sowell starts to appear very ideologically driven.

Sowell is a free-market fundamentalist, in that he opposes most government intervention in markets, and universally trusts laissez-faire capitalism to provide the optimal social & economic good for practically any situation.

The problem with this position is that there's simply a ton of evidence that targeted government intervention provides far better outcomes in many situations.

Another classic example is environmental pollution, a classic case of tragedy of the commons. On the topic of global warming, Sowell doesn't even try to address the issue. He belives climate change is a hoax perpetuated by Democrats.

https://wattsupwiththat.com/2019/01/27/sowell-the-catchwords...

Sowell writes in a conversational style, which is great for accessibility for non-economics. However, he is rightly criticized as failing to cite rigorous studies to back up his opinions.

For a more balanced view of basic economics, I'd highly recommend Principles of Economics by Greg Mankiw.
Well the point of the NYT article totally evaporates if you read the HN post. PG is explicitly saying that no-one knows the effect that this will have, but better to prepare for the worst.

And that's the thing: if you cannot trust that someone makes their point as neutrally as possible, they become worthless for me as a source of condensed information. Rather look up the original source then for myself.

August Health | Product Designer | San Francisco or REMOTE (USA for now) | Full time

We're working on a new company to improve how people age in our country.
A demographic "perfect storm" is brewing over the next 25 years: (1) the 80+ population will double to more than 30 million people, (2) the family caregiver ratio will almost cut in half (and is further hurt as more children move away from their parents), and (3) as life expectancy rises, people are living for years with complex health issues and disability.

And annual long term care costs are about $400 billion today. Our goal is to make a significant difference in care quality for elders and put a dent in healthcare costs in the country.

>> We are looking for a full-time product designer as one of our earliest full time hires. The right fit is an end-to-end product designer who can span user-research to full resolution mocks - a longer job description is at augusthealth.com

Prior to this, we cofounded and sold a big-data mapping company, Mapsense, to Apple. Our team of 7 has a strong technical background and also includes a physician with years of experience with geriatric patients. We recently raised a round of financing from tier-1 VCs.

The first few hires for a company set the engineering practices, philosophy, culture for the future - and we are looking for people who are excited by these parts of company building in addition to the technical parts.
I'd love to see historical articles matching what they predicted with what actually happened.

At least in tech writing, I'd expect most of their predictions to be wrong.
In case anyone doesn't know this, for just about any venture-backed company that has gone through YC or another incubator or raised from an early-stage VC, you can pretty much automatically get $100k of credits from Google or AWS.

Good on Stripe and Atlas for making this more available to more bootstrapped companies like the one in this post, but there's certainly a huge difference between $1k or $5k and $100k.

On the one hand I understand why cloud providers have to limit this, they're trying to buy lock-in and have to choose startups that they think have a larger chance of growing big enough for this to be profitable. Even a successful bootstrapped company will normally not grow as large as a successful VC-backed company, and will probably be smarter with their money as well and not rack up enormous AWS bills so quickly.

But on the other hand, this is an almost invisible example of the kind of gatekeeping that helps those who are starting from a position of privilege (i.e. have the connections to raise a large seed round) and gives them a leg up over everyone else. If as a tech community we're striving to make starting a company more meritocratic and make sure there is a low barrier to entry for everyone, I wonder if there's a better way to distribute these kinds of perks?
Most big HVAC systems have this ability. On a rooftop unit usually it's as simple as a hatch that you slide; a split system would have to have a separate fresh air duct you can control with a damper. Newer systems typically have explicit fresh air makeup systems with heat exchangers.

Most schools with forced air ventilation should already have such a capability, if they bothered to look. If not, if would certainly be cheaper to have one installed than to leave the windows open. But of course, it may be easier to do one than the other bureaucratically.

> many conservatives were once liberals, while the reverse is typically not true.

Is there any data to support that claim? It’s the opposite of my own personal anecdata.
All professionals and experts should be held accountable for their actions: doctors are no exception. The issue with "needing to be held accountable" is that you're calling doctors a monolithic group and implying that they aren't already heavily screened and scrutinized.

Doctors are, and should be, some of the most elite minds and highly respected scientists/caregivers. Like any group, they have inter-group controversy and debate, but let's not use that to pile onto the anti-science, anti-vax, anti-medical chorus which is gaining steam on the internet. Some doctors get things wrong: most doctors, however, enact evidence-based practices which have been vetted by statisticians, chemists, and physicists who help innovate and inform medical decision-making.

As high-minded as our concerns about doctors being incorrect might be, let's keep a wide view here and not tear down a vast-majority noble and expert profession. Let's have a nuanced discussion where we admit doctors are both experts, highly select, but also people with flaws too.

Lead Gen Spam
For a long time I dealt with lead-gen form spam.

You put up a "contact" form, a bot tries to contact you.

Now I'm getting a new time of spam:

A bot is filling in my personal contact information into OTHER companies forms. I then get calls from those companies. This is mostly universities, but also a roofing company a 1000 miles away, etc.

What's the play here? I assume companies are paying for leads, or someone is astro-turfing their own lead-gen mechanism?

Hi, I’m Vince, I’m looking to join a team as a Backend Software Engineer. I used to work at a mobile-gaming startup in the Bay Area where I built services in Go. In more detail, I:

- Built microservices powered by real-time sports data (NBA and League of Legends)

- Developed libraries used across all services: client SDKs, an internal web framework, data store clients, validation tools

- Rolled out testing infrastructure for writing automated tests resulting in faster development cycles and ongoing test coverage

- Improved engineering standards by actively contributing to docs and reviews related to writing idiomatic Go code, web APIs, app architecture, and testing

Sadly, the startup wasn't able to secure a Series A round due to the recent pandemic and I was a part of the layoffs. Before working in tech, I worked in finance for 2 years. Thanks for reading, email or message me on LinkedIn if you’d like to chat.
Looking for PHP or Javascript work, rates very negotiable.

Happy to do refactoring , bug squashing, implement testing, implement new features or perhaps sketch out an MVP.

You're arguing for how effective masks are in stopping this virus. A fact that it'd be nice if more people accepted. And is great info that the protests demonstrated so.
http://archive.is/5kSVB
I disagree. You need to treat the virus at the right level of concern otherwise you lose credibility. As we can all see, credibility from the experts needs to be maintained, otherwise no one trusts them anyone. The whole fiasco with masks is because the experts told us things that were obviously wrong at the beginning (ie. masks don't work, masks won't help regular people, etc).

If there is airborne droplet transmission, which I believe is the case otherwise we wouldn't get such infectious spread in bars, etc, then we need to implement better ventilation, social distancing and mask wearing and probably goggles too.

If it was truly "airborne", which it isn't, then the measures would need to be much, much more draconian otherwise it would spread much quicker.

I wonder if the downvotes were caused by the phrasing of this statement:

At first I thought you were saying that people didn't actually want to stop the virus in its tracks.

It took me a minute to realize that you're saying people have accepted full-stoppage-in-tracks as being infeasible, and therefore don't consider it an attainable goal.

When I first saw google books and google scholar I thought 'Oh my god, this is amazing, this will change everything!'. I imagined that a decade or two in the future, being able to read pretty much any book or paper I wanted for a reasonable monthly fee. The search functionality was an absolute godsend!

Now? Google books has been pretty much sidelined and abandoned. I feel like I've watched the second library of Alexandria burn, and I am heartbroken.

My only consolation, is sites like sci-hub and libgen have made textbooks and papers downloadable, albeit illegally. I still really wish I could search within every book.
Two things - TIOBE is meaningless. And secondly, Perl is a valid example, but so is Python. After a 10 year painful transition, Python is more popular than ever. It's used more than any other language bar Javascript.
