Congratulations to everyone at Kickstarter!

All workers deserve a voice in their workplace and that's exactly what the solidarity of a union provides.

ughitsaaron··on Ask HN: Is there a markup language for forms?
This might not be exactly what you’re looking for — it’s meant more for interactive editorial features than simple forms — but Idyll looks really cool and is worth a look.

ughitsaaron··on A History of Silicon Valley
This profile by Tom Wolfe of Robert Noyce, the co-founder id Intel and so-called “Mayor of Silicon Valley”, also offers up some interesting history for those interested.

Thank you so much for all the work you put into creating and maintaining Leaflet. It’s pretty remarkable how much time and energy you (and others, of course) put into making something so complex so intuitive.
ughitsaaron··on Ask HN: Are there books for mathematics like Feynman's lectures on physics?
Yes, Lockhart! This is why you shouldn’t post with jet lag.

He uses a similar approach in “Arithmatic”. He begins the book by describing different base number systems used throughout human history (the way different civilizations did “counting”). He does that in order to argue that a number itself shouldn’t be confused with its representation.

I might check out “Measurement” next! Thanks for the recommendation.

This may be a bit too elementary, but I recently read “Arithmatic” by Paul Lockwood and found it easy, provocative, and fascinating.
