Ask HN: How to get a Logo/ Corporate Designs in 2021?
I know this has been asked plenty times before but most of these threads seem to be quite old. So hear me out.

I am the founder of a cyber security startup in Germany and we are at a point where our website is getting more and more traffic and customers start to ask for business cards to refer our services to other businesses. Soon our web app with new services will launch and it just doesn't have any proper design guidelines yet. Currently the logo is just the name in Roboto font and all presentations and documents are just plain text without any proper corporate design.

I have been doing some research and it seems like there is three main contenders for crowd sourced logo designs:

- fiverr
- 99designs
- designcrowd

But HN seems to have a bad opinion about each of these platforms. Regarding the covid situation I'd also much rather pay a creative person directly without intermediaries taking a 20% cut. But the problem stands on where to find them.

So here's my question: Where do you people get your Logo and Corporate Designs these days?

Why do actual work when you can just sell somebody elses as your own?
I hold, transfer and pay with crypto a lot. To save a lot of fees, have additional security and because it is simply comfortable and fast.

Smart contracts allow that i can swap any currency to any other withoit kyc or even registering. I can move USD from ETH to Tron and so on within seconds for a low fee.

Cashing out to IRL money is simpler and faster than even paypal or paysafe for example.

Even if the crypto market is unstable, the last years it generally went up while holding USD or EUR basically was a loss game valued against ex. CHF.

I personally cant imagine a world without blockchains anymore.
I don't know much about Vitalik but I saw him supporting a carbon tax. It might be that he sees mining as a necessary evil to transition from.
Until very recently, memory allocators were more than happy to return you the thing you just deallocated if you asked for another allocation of the same size. It makes sense, too: if you're calling malloc/free in a loop, which is pretty common, this is pretty much the best thing you can do for performance. Countless heap exploits later (mostly attacking heap metadata rather than stale data, to be honest) allocators have begun to realize that predictable allocation patterns might not be the best idea, so they're starting to move away from this.
Yeah it’s pretty good. You can walk into any hospital in Australia and they’ll just look after you and try to do their best to help you. You won’t be asked to pay anything, except maybe some pharmacy fees. Novel concept.
And there is also the private system if you want alternatives.

Problem is, I don’t think it’s going to last. The ageing population means health costs will spiral, and health budgets will consume an unsustainably large proportion of revenues.
Just some other anecdotal thing, but if you have someone from procurement worth their salt they will make sure to get the licenses at good terms without tying the company to lock-in, increasing prices YoY etc. Of course, if there is a free alternative, all the better, but if you need to buy something it is definitely worth being on their good side.

Is there a good software-only solution for using a MacBook as an external display for another Mac?

I have an old MacBook 12” that it would be nice to use as an extra display. I looked into this a few years ago and all the options had really poor video quality as they used Airplay (I would probably mainly use it for a terminal window so I’d want sharp text, I could handle a little lag)

Apples & oranges. Angular (web app platform) can't really be compared with jQuery (JS lib) I think. Angular had a rough, chaotic history which hurt its popularity, but if you check out the latest version I think you'd find a very mature, batteries-included framework. Especially for enterprise settings with lots of developers I find it the superior choice. It's just not the coolest kid on the block for all the indie developers.
With their funding and Covid, they could have pivoted to vaccine or Covid test kit development.

I should have made the connection more clear.

Yes, you can create various collections on different chains. Say there's one on Eth, and one on Binance.

If I want to purchase the NFT, which one should I buy from? Which one should I honor? Well, depends on what I value as a counter-party.

I know that Binance owns all the nodes, and can roll them back at their whim. I know that no one in Eth can roll back easily.

So if I value this kind of immutability as a potential owner of an NFT--I want my transactions to be final--then I'm going to go with the NFT contract on Eth.

There may be other things I value instead of immutability, but the point is just the answer to "which NFT contract on which chain is the 'real one'?" is simply, "The one your counter-party honors, for whatever reason."

There may be instances where both are honored at the same time, but in different domains.
Imaging a Black Hole: How Software Created a Planet-Sized Telescope
Same here. Crypto literally is the best thing that happened carrier wise to my life. From the wild wild west in the early days that allowed anyone to make some beermoney then (and be rich today if they holded) to the immense community we have today that turn simple products/dapps/whatever into millions strong businesses over night.

Crypto is exactly the movement to give power back to the people (for a while at least) its sad to hear such a negative attudide from a otherwise forward thinking community

Rust makes building from source and cross compiling so easy that I don’t really care for dynamic linking in my use cases of Rust.
my worries are more, if i use it, like everywhere, that at some point, some "ORM Layer" like for example hibernate will use the right outer join for something and then break since this is not implemented. and there are also a few other quirks where i am not sure, if some systems do not need them (grant/revoke is of course meaning less)
>Describing it as a fork is ridiculous

Why? It's a fork.

Monero has pre-planned hardforks every 6 months or so, is it ridiculous to describe them as forks?
Allegedly Apple's strategy is often to make an offer to buy the company and acquihire some devs who understand the problem and have experience solving it, and if the answer is a no they implement the feature themselves. I have no idea if that's actually true, or if it happens a lot, but it could be the case that being "sherlocked" is what happens if you turn down an offer. If true, that would make being "sherlocked" irrelevant if the plan is to exit by being bought by Apple.
That's ABI compatibility of the language, not of a particular API.

If you have an API that allows the caller to instantiate a structure on the stack and pass a reference to it to your function, then the caller must now be recompiled when the size of that structure changes. If that API now resides in a separate dynamic library, then changing the size of the structure is an ABI-breaking change, regardless of the language.

> Different people will have a preference for one layout vs the other but, in reality, the layout that feels good is what you're used to.

While it's true that a familiar system will initially feel better than an unknown alternative, this doesn't mean that some systems can't be better than others.

From my personal experience and from the comments in this thread, I think it's safe to conclude that the Mac is better here.
Ask HN: I have a prejudice that junior managers cannot take right decisions
Is my thought correct or wrong?

I'm a manager (3 Years exp in dealing with people) and I always think, to be able to take right decisions, you need to have a lot of real life experiences. Without that the decisions are simply based on gut feeling and intuitions which are likely to be wrong.

Due to this prejudice, I cannot trust anyone's words unless they prove their claims.

Am I going the wrong way? Are there any experienced managers who can help me with this dilemma?
Kaiser members I know who have needed mental health care have found that part of their system to be atrocious.

Sure, maybe the billing part of it is still great, but the care itself is not.
You’re paying into a pool for the neediest to use. The social contract being that you implicitly admit you will one day be needy, no matter how healthy you live your life. Thus, you willingly throw your money away when you’re young and healthy and you do it smiling.
> I think jetbrains, github, atlassian et al would like a word with you.

Yeah, but those are outliers drowning in a sea of free development tools. The price that they can charge is effectively limited by how much it would cost some to replicate the subset of that tool that they actually use.

A business that is paying $X/year for $DEVSOFTWARE for their entire devteam pays that only while $X is less than the cost of paying for developing the subset of $DEVSOFTWARE that they use. That limits what Atlassian can charge.

Compare to selling a tool to accountants - it doesn't matter how much $ACCSOFTWARE costs, the accounting department will only shop around, they will never just write their own (outliers excepted, of course).
Encouraging people to blindly trust something they've never heard of before and curl into a shell to install software does not inspire confidence in a project's security practices.

Your thing is too new to be officially packaged for debian, centos or whatever? Okay fine, at least put up a link with a sha256 signature for the stuff you're distributing, and some instructions on a more traditional method of downloading, verifying, extracting a .tar.bz2 or .tar.xz file, and then installing it.
Is that a everything-new-is-old description for cloud offerings?
This is just not true for a proof of stake blockchain. The higher the price of Ether is, the harder it gets to loan enough ether to stake to attack the network. And attacking the network or misbehaving does cost you a lot more dollar money.
Looks like you're saying that they won't be good (a moral quality), not that they won't be great (a performance measurement); Alexander was Great, as well as the Great Khan Genghis, shaping the world as we know it, yet neither were good.
It's not verified, how could it be? A "smart contract" cannot verify personal identities, because a smart contract is just a computer program.
That's cool, but i can't help but feel you loose some of the asethetic charm of ascii art once you get this level of fidelity and so many colours.
Without real world data "fearlessly parallelizing all the things!" is an awful idea due to all the overhead involved.

The most important design decision while writing a parallel algorithm is to decide for what amount of data is not worth it.

Isn’t the resolution greatly reduced?

A low resolution text stream gzipped may turn out to be smaller I think.
Which form of Rust parallelism did you choose? I’ve read that the old one sucks.

Certainly Rust is different beast than C.

Code converted from C to Rust seems much more voluminous. Perhaps it’s easier to maintain if you know Rust well?

I cannot believe at first that Rust is ever more performant than C, as C could be made parallel and seems more barebones. One of the languages that CUDA can be used with is C, so I suspect that C may beat Rust in the world of computation for now? And Rust continues to evolve, I suspect, as C could.

The author states:

> My overall feeling is that if I could spend infinite time and effort, my C programs would be as fast or faster than Rust, because theoretically there's nothing C can't do that Rust can. But in practice C has less abstractions, primitive standard library, dreadful dependency situation, and I just don't have the time to reinvent the wheel, optimally, every time.

So, I think for now: C is faster, even in parallel. But Rust could be nicer to use than C in many respects, so it may be worthwhile to consider it for large applications.

That which we state definitively may be subjective, though.
Google Travel was also great if you wanted to get a quick overview of what to see in a new city.
Most of the ethereum devs I know were bitcoin people first. Bitcoin is cool but you simply can’t do what you can do on ethereum. Remember Vitalik himself worked for bitcoin magazine and pushed hard for updates that would make his ideas possible on bitcoin, but they were repeatedly rejected. So we had to build ethereum instead.
Now with ethereums success we are seeing people go back and say “bitcoin does this too” but it simply doesn’t. And a side chain, that isn’t inheriting security from layer one isn’t good enough.

There is a lot more bitcoin wrapped onto ethereum that there is on lightning. (Now 1% of total supply). Ethereum is eating bitcoin.

> "Clever" memory use is frowned upon in Rust. In C, anything goes.

No, it does not. If Rust programmers don't have discipline in C, other people have.

And don't drag out some random CVE numbers again. These are about a fraction of existing C projects, many of them were started 1980-2000.

It is an entirely different story if a project is started with sanitizers, Valgrind and best practices.

I'm not against Rust, except that they managed to take OCaml syntax and make it significantly worse. It's just ugly and looks like design by committee.

But the evangelism is exhausting. I also wonder why corporations are pushing Rust. Is it another method to take over C projects that they haven't assimilated yet?
It really depends on the context. I like having a history of things that are important, and I got more than enough information to keep in my head already. Actively processing voice on someone else's tempo over a crappy mic often leads to mistakes, and the lack of history forces me to ask again when I inevitably forget. Also, the fast-paced nature of voice tends to make people neglect nuance which may be important.

Your idea of efficient may vastly differ from someone else's.

All copies ultimately come from the artist, and they are all bit-by-bit identical. Why wouldn't they have the same value?
With Soichi Noguchi up there now this headline can be read literally.
At Microsoft, in my buildings at least, they kept the giant PC-recycle boxes around for a few months and we were encouraged to fish-out anything useful (I know other teams forbade this, it's complicated). When there was something I needed I could usually get it from my team's admin-assistant just by asking them over Lync. I never had to file a request with IT to get any parts or equipment I needed.

> Seems like a more efficient way to operate a company.

I do actually agree with you - it's just a matter of framing the company's practices.
Wow - this is the most insightful comment and is downvoted????

Surprised not to see a mention of sixels, it would fit the overall tone of this thing.
Exactly, rather than getting two new car, I just drive the wifes old less fuel efficient car for those days when I need to go to the office, 15km away. She then got a new more efficient car as she drives 100km per day.

Cars are insanely expensive here, and at 150.000km the car isn’t really in need of replacement. Doing so would also be more environmentally damaging, compared to driving it less than a 100km per week.
Isn't often heard around HN that it's ok to charge for Open Source software ? If you don't want to pay for it, you're free to choose not to, but if others want to pay, what's in it for you?

BTW the parts of Synergy that were Open Source are still Open Source, so you're free to download those and build them yourself if you so choose.

If you find the panel's model number, adding a "controller" suffix to it will get quite a few results on your online marketplace of choice.
If the alternative is you making every decision, well good luck with that.

Somehow you need to get from prejudice and mistrust to 1) the curiosity to find out what people are capable of, and 2) accepting responsibility for the scalability and sustainability of the decision-making process. These are challenges of organisational and personal development, closely related also to strategy deployment.
This is the root of the problem. We need to reduce car dependency.
What does it mean to own a digital artwork?

To own the copyright in it? Blockchain doesn't really do much here because ownership of copyrights is determined by the legal system not by a blockchain. (And normally when an artist sells an artwork they keep the copyright themselves; you only get the copyright too if you specifically negotiate with the artist for that, or if you commission the art as a "work-for-hire".)

To own the only digital copy of it? Blockchain does nothing to stop people making more digital copies of it. Blockchain is not a DRM system.

It seems like "owning" digital art where one doesn't have the copyright or exclusive possession of digital copies is basically a meaningless form of ownership. It is the status of "ownership" stripped of all substantive content.
The 1541 was "vintage" even before it was released :)
That's what happens by using normal malloc/free anyway, no? Implementations of malloc have a strong performance incentive to allocate from the cache hot most recently freed blocks.
I've seen first hand the opposite in my country, where free market private health care is working almost near perfection. All it takes is minimal regulation and then watching the healthy patient incentives aligning with the profit motive without government meddling.

And I've been watching in real time as the government is actively blocking and preventing this same functioning private healthcare system from acquiring covid vaccines. Right now, this "evil" private healthcare provider has all the money and willingness to vaccinate us all for free, but the government is denying it because they want a slice of the potential Profit to pay for the vaccines for the rest of the country.

So you tell me who is evil because of money.

The problem mentioned in the article (a mathematical apparatus that is completely alien to us moderns) is the opposite of that of contemporary translators. Around 1750, Émilie, marquise du Châtelet, made the first translation into French (which her lover Voltaire called "the everyday language of Europe")

As a woman, she didn't have any university education, but that wouldn't have included calculus anyway. Her problem was the modern concepts, not the old "geometric" way of reasoning about quantities. So she had to write a bulky Commentaire that really was her magnum opus

As a woman, she was completely accepted as an equal by scientists of her time, but treated rather dismissively by later historians of science. Clearly, history doesn't obey Newtons's first law: it doesn't progress in a straight line.

That's a rather funny claim coming from google, considering we are now back in the same situation as we were 20 year ago, when people were designing websites to work 'best' on microsoft's IE browser. Now a lot of things are being designed to work 'best' on Chrome.

At least Microsoft has the benefit of the institutional knowledge of having once been as dominant as Google is now.
