"Among other things..." Like speeding? Like traffic-light cameras, this will result in unintended consequences at scale. But hey, more data!

It's difficult to replace all of Adobe's software. Your needs are varied enough to make it a bit more difficult. Mostly due to your need for animation software and Linux. I completely moved over to the combination of the following software and only rarely come across an edge case scenario where Adobe CC could do something that my configuration could not.

- Affinity Designer (one-time <$60usd) (replaced Illustrator)

- Affinity Photo (one-time <$60usd) (replaced Photoshop)

- Affinity Publisher (one-time <$60usd) (replaced InDesign)

- Photo Mechanic Plus (one0time >$100) (replaced Lightroom and Apple Photos)

- DaVinci Resolve (free and I love this software) (replaced Premiere)

There might be some smaller supplemental softwares I have accumulated over time to add more to my tools, but I don't think they're necessary.

It's so nice to not have CC, the subscription, the bloatware etc. Truly, I advocate against Adobe products to anyone I know who can actually perform professionally with the above substitutes. This is from someone who used to publish tutorials for Adobe's software in the many years past.

After reading his books, I would agree and was hoping someone had posted this. If anyone would vehemently oppose such manipulation, it would be Anthony Bourdain. Is there a disclaimer before this scene is shown? I'll choose not to watch such a documentary created by those with skewed ethics.

While journalism was/is the fourth estate, the watchdog of the government, the people as the watchdog of journalists is becoming the rising fifth estate. This fifth estate isn't so organized or always of much quality, but observable signal is emerging. Truly, I've noticed a more substantial signal coming from HN comments questioning the veracity of the fourth estate. It's great to see.

This is true. We were shown Meshes of the Afternoon in our foundational filmmaking courses at AAU. Her use of choreography in combination of camera placement created a truly remarkable effect on the viewer. An example is her running up the stairs swaying back and forth with a slight tilt of the camera which made it seem as though the abode was moving like a ship on the open sea. Techniques like this she poetically used continue to inspire film makers today.

The HN crowd, for the most part, is very good at discerning a quality source from a questionable one. The general public, on the other hand, not so much. I often attempt to trace the source of information in any news article to its source, and more often times than not, one news outlet will use a different news outlet as a source. Eventually, you might get to the original source, but often you'll end up with with vague and roundabout interpretation of hearsay to make a nothing into something. Worse, you might not find the original source at all. There are good journalists out there doing their due-diligence, but the bar for a verified source is really low these days. A simple press release from a company, or a quote from someone adjacent to the topic, can be used, abused, and misconstrued to make the story hit harder. I'd say ethics in journalism tracks closely to trust in media. Incentives for news outlets, and their editors, wear on good journalists with good ethics, resulting in incentive driven content. It's really no surprise people don't trust "media" but trust specific journalists. Bring back the Fairness Doctrine, and things might change.

The html <em> tag is the current best practice for this from my understanding.

As much as it pains me to say this, Apple is having much trouble juggling their endeavors. Apple's website is usually pixel perfect, but look at https://www.apple.com/mac-pro/index1.html and you'll see it isn't even responsive. Viewed on their own iOS devices renders the desktop nav. No one at Apple even goes to their own flagship desktop marketing page anymore.

I would love for this all to be one elaborate April Fool's joke and it becomes available on Monday.

On a more technical note, this was a bit surprising to read: "'No one looks at [Electro-Magnetic Interference] until the end.' The FCC rules for wireless charging devices like AirPower are quite strict, and limit exposure at 20 cm (8 in) above the device to 50 mW/cm^2."

Depending at which point was "the end" of the AirPower development cycle, Apple either spent many many months attempting to remedy the problem with small enough breakthroughs to keep the marketing parade going, or Apple discovered something severe last minute. The issues discussed in this article, I would think, were well enough known for some time--still making this a perplexing story.

It's easy to not delete and stop using to serve your purpose. I loathe facebook et al., but some employers (fewer and fewer these days) want to see my online presence. To not have a facebook was considered strange, so for that reason, I keep it around. However, as far as maintaining an identity, or holding on to your custom facebook url, that’s a non-issue. Delete away, and create again—facebook is intelligent enough to reconnect you to all those people if need be. Personal identity is strengthened by other's endorsement. That's easy to get again with FB, especially if you're who you really are. It's difficult to take someone’s identity in that sense and it be valuable to the person doing it.

I've not used Nicepage before, but I have used the majority of WYSIWYG editors mentioned in this article. It's an exciting read for a designer like myself because I've been thinking about this problem for a while.

The conclusion is fairly misleading because it's missing the glaringly obvious answer: designers could learn HTML and CSS. I fought it forever thinking that there will always be a WYSIWYG and they'll eventually get so good they'll spit out the code for me.

The reality is much more frustrating. Adobe Muse was promising as it helped with responsive design and the free form creativity this article talks about, BUT it had a ton of issues. Relying on it for projects with clients was risky as one update would kill your production, as it often did. Reverting back a version was a solution so you could finish the project, but the features added to the update were crucial, and as a designer I wanted those too.

Then it became a game of learn the software de jure, and hope it's A) good enough B) will have support for a long time C) isn't cheap, and D) doesn't take forever to learn.

Eventually, I discovered grid and flex box and have been teaching myself HTML, CSS, and JS. Code isn't going away. Software does.

Also, I don't trust any WYSIWYG editor to produce clean and concise code. I'm afraid it'll spit out a bunch of divs and be extremely inefficient. Not to mention accessibility and semantics. Even if designing to a grid and carefully watching my proportions and where items sit on or next to each other, I still fear the program will spit out some ugly code.

Mainly, when using a WYSIWYG, it ends up taking just as long as it would to code, especially if you want it to look really good.

So now, my goal is design like the Web 3.0 described in this article, but with the good old tools with which I have full control. It's like a carpenter in his wood shop, as opposed to using a combination of legos and Ikea. No matter what, to have ultimate control is the best, and it remains to be seen if Nicepage or any design tool will ever be as good as the most fundamental of tools (code).

I suppose the reality is there's a huge spectrum of designers. There's the developer oriented ones, which resources are aplenty. Then on the other end of the spectrum are artists, who need a blank canvas to fill out their ideas. One is quick and good enough, the other long and the end result likely janky behind the curtain. Nicepage seems to want to appeal to the the artist.

With enough time, a true designer can understand the full spectrum and see that fully custom coded websites, even if they take a long time, are still likely to be the most unique and longest lasting.

CDA 230?

A member of the press, or journalist/reporter, will be held in contempt for obstruction of justice if they're the only ones with information about a crime and they refuse to give up that information. It's looked at like a badge-of-honor for journalists to goto jail under this scenario, and it would also be journalistic suicide to give up a source. Check out Branzburg v. Hayes. There's "reporter's privilege" and shield laws which may help a reporter in some jurisdictions.

If there are other means, which is usually the case, to get such information, then those should be pursued before pressuring a reporter for that information.

You're correct -- community college courses were "core" or "foundation" prior to the major. What I was attempting to suggest is 16-week semesters are too long (CC and Uni) and feel unnecessarily long for most subjects.

I'm a returning student about to complete my degree at the end of this year. I went to an art school for a few years out of high school and ended up in customer service positions with some great companies. I didn't want to continue in customer service, so I decided to go back to school. Started with two years at community college, and now finishing up my last two at university.

Some insights I picked up along the way:

- community college have great professors

- community college treats you like the adult you are

- community college is underrated

- university treats you like a child

- university professors are more selfish and self-serving

- university is busy dealing with so much extra-curricular stuff that most adults don't care about, it makes you question your decision

- Different "schools" within the university do things differently

- as an adult, it sucks to work in groups with young students

- I picked up way more knowledge in the "real world" than I realized as a lot of what is being taught is redundant

- there should be 4 semesters a year, not 2, people should graduate in 2 years, not 4+

At the onset of this journey, I was enthusiastic to learn, but along the way I've been beat down to just wanting to get "the piece of paper" and be done. It's been a long three years and each day forward is increasingly difficult to stomach since I realized I can learn all of what is being taught to me faster on my own.

I don't think anyone needs a degree anymore to get to where they're going. However, it does make it easier depending on one's path.

Since the article doesn’t directly give an answer, I’ll assert that it’s a result of the proliferation of screens and what younger generations are used to seeing. When selecting a typeface to modify for a brand, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to not feel comic-sans type objections to anything with a little character.

I predict the future of branding will be comprised mainly of symbols (logos). Names will all be in a similar, device friendly, typeface as we see here.

I've experienced sketchy practices from several domain brokers and hosting services. GoDaddy is just the most widely used amongst my friends and clients--making them a necessary evil in my life--luckily not at my expense.

I would love to do something like this. Drupal was a nightmare for me as a designer. Wordpress is much more manageable, but HTML/CSS/Javascript are king for me to have full control. What I'd like to learn next is implementing a database to cover the CMS side of things. Any resources you care to share that would put me on that path?

I'd love for more inventions to be like the AeroPress. It provides a purist result with pedestrian convenience.

It's part of the deal though. Anyone who willingly participates has a goal where the end justifies the means. Albeit, a sell your soul type of deal at times, but nevertheless the problem is more a lack of self-awareness for why one might be hustling. That self-awareness is also understanding why Hustle Porn beckons.

I wonder if this ~2012 project [1] was intended to supplement the Domain Awareness System jointly created by Microsoft, and then later added to the Public Security Privacy Guidelines [0] along with DAS? The article states the NYPD stopped using it in 2016? What changed in 2016?

They found the plastic trays to be the worst.

> Fortunately, Christensen says that there is one thing that online education will not be able to replace. In his research, he found that most of the successful alumni who gave generous donations to their alma maters did so because a specific professor or coach inspired them.

This is still my argument for in-person lectures. Online classes are okay, but the insights gained from the unexplainable passion presented through oration provides unparalleled value to one's motivation and internal framework.

If the internet were a bar that got boring, then you’d find a new bar.

Too bad there isn’t a new internet, separate from the old, to explore and rebuild freely.

I’m not even that old and the use of “Lit” and “fam” kept me from continuing to read whatever this was about.

How valued is micro art today?

Stamps are such that one must have one to mail something, so why not pick one with a pleasing aesthetic?

I'm working on a side project centered around graphic art containing varying subject matter aimed to be used in a similarly nuanced way as mail art.

I believe this idea is even more applicable in the digital world as graphics are more readily available than artistic stamps.

He may not be wrong. Check out Getting to Philosophy on wikipedia. [0]

"There have been some theories on this phenomenon, with the most prevalent being the tendency for Wikipedia pages to move up a "classification chain." According to this theory, the Wikipedia Manual of Style guidelines on how to write the lead section of an article recommend that the article should start by defining the topic of the article, so that the first link of each page will naturally take the reader into a broader subject, eventually ending in wide-reaching pages such as Mathematics, Science, Language, and of course, Philosophy, nicknamed the "mother of all sciences"."

Custom ones can be made after they scan your pelvic region. Essentially, there's a depressed, or cutout section in the middle with two pads in parallel which should support your bones as the other poster mentioned.
