This is cool. Would love a system like home assistant w/ little blueprints that you could add. For example maybe you want to track your location and have that get defined automatically, i.e. anytime I visit the coffee shop, I’m working, so define that as work.

Does anyone know if the firefighter’s blood/plasma is disposed of? Or can it be treated in some way so it’s usable?

A good xeri-landscaper will be respectful of existing trees in the yard. In fact their design will be anchored around those trees that will be kept.

“Among participant with three meals per day, a meal interval of ≤4.5 hours in two adjacent meals was associated with higher all-cause mortality.” So people who ate three meals a day ALSO fared poorly? Am I reading that right?

Any Huell link gets a instant upvote from this guy.

My thought as well. People with ADHD will appreciate the experiment. Productivity tools may help some people, but there’s something about having people in the room that greatly amplifies productivity for me.

Seems like an edge case that Apple can solve by comparing phone behavior on a ski lift vs that of a car. There’s gotta be some patterns in the data that are distinctly skier behavior. However if they want to help those skiers that are truly in need of help, it gets much trickier.

I’m a senior product designer with 15 years experience creating impactful design work for startups and Fortune 500 companies. I'm most effective in smaller organizations where there are lots of unknowns. I've been freelance for a number of years but looking to join a team of smart and talented people!

Kottke.org is on a very small list of sites that I will subconsciously type into the browser when bored. I wish he would team up with a sales guy or maybe patio11 so the site could make more money. Seems like it’s often teetering on the brink.

Yeah I’ve done extensive work on the house and anywhere that’s original is in great shape. All the wood is old growth. It had termite damage at one point but the termites only ate areas where newer (lesser quality) wood was used.

Heck, even the mirror in the bathroom opens and closes perfectly and it’s 110 yrs old.

The downsides are there was zero insulation in the walls when we bought it and the leaded glass windows are single pane. I’ve mostly fixed the insulation problem but the windows will always be pretty to look at but inefficient.

Neat info! Yes I believe it was a kit. Would love to find the original catalog where it’s from.

Yeah this was the next best option. But I didn’t want to spend any time on the roof and my ladder doesn’t go high enough so went with magnets. Also I wasn’t crazy about having hooks up there all year round, even though I would be the only person to notice them.

Confirmed, 1908 craftsman :) The roof is 20 years old, maybe that’s when the switch to aluminum started?

Splitting the wire is safe if you’re careful but no it’s not code lol. And it’s just one hook at the peak of the roof but it might be possible w/o it. I didn’t need any hooks.

My issue with those is you probably still need a ladder to place them. My family has a history with ladder accidents so I wanted to avoid that haha.

What about the ozone layer? Was that bullshit? We banned CFC’s and now the problem is fixed.

My wife went to NYU and they had a fire drill early that morning. Some firefighters were there. Who knows how many of those guys died later that day.

Politicians are the worst at abusing email. I donated once to Obama in 2008 and now I can’t stop getting emails and texts from dozens of other democratic candidates.

As a designer I love how much typography is appreciated on HN.

It doesn’t mention that autophagy in humans takes several days. Overnight fasting might help us but not for the reasons implied here.

I’ve wondered about this. Can you tell when it’s a marketer?

Would love to see a list of all the stores in a particular category. Would pay for that. I know there are lists you can buy but your data seems more in-depth.

Nah, it’s true. Pepsi doesn’t care much about click thru rates on their banner ads.

If only I had the money and the ability to plan...

Thanks for the feedback everyone! If anyone is looking for a senior visual/product designer here’s my portfolio: http://masongentry.com

Ahh thx, the color picker was initially built for desktop only so its super wonky on mobile. I need to fix that!

Thanks! It’s messy under the hood. The first version was all js, this latest version is Rails & js.

There are other picker tools that are similar to mine and each of us has a unique take on the problem. It doesn’t worry me. If someone wants to make their own version that’s cool.

Thanks for the feedback!

They have a standalone app which feels almost as nice to use as Sketch's native Mac app. The main difference is when you see that loading bar because it's contacting the server.

I think Design Pickle does this?
