Re:Sketch raises $20M in Series A funding on Sunday March 17, 2019 @02:09PM (#19415364)
I believe it's $69 to renew an existing license.

As an aside, really like having it native, main reason why I haven't switched to Figma.

Great post, thanks!
There are a few interesting ideas about how it could financially function mentioned here:

As long as the disbursal is direct (handled by the FR for example), and cuts out bloated gov. orgs.

As it pertains to other people, I see it as a floor that will hopefully help people unlock their potential by taking some of the pressure off the exchange of time for wages and focusing it on the meaning of work.

If people want to do nothing beyond their UBI income, that's fine - but I don't see this being a widespread phenomenon. It covers the basics, and we have a tendency to yearn for more.

It's a happy memory now. Things shift and change. I satisfy my curiosity now thanks to that old and trusted friend slsk.

Thanks for sharing! Glad you came through mentally and physically intact.
It's the one place on the net I genuinely miss.
Already gone... it stopped being enjoyable years ago.

On one end of the scale the benefit of transparency and on the other the inevitable subversion of these types of info dumps in the future, as a way to manipulate public opinion...
Re:Ask HN: What are your favorite books of all time, and why? on Sunday November 05, 2017 @12:02PM (#15630276)
I really enjoy Jorge Luis Borges (hard to pick a favorite, just dive into the short stories and find out for yourself). Imagine an M.C. Escher drawing in story form.

I also have a strong pull towards adventure so books like Wind, Sand and Stars by Exupery or Starlight and Storm by Rebuffat are constant companions.

Growing up I loved books by Emilio Salgari, for a man who traveled so little outside of Italy he had an uncanny ability to imagine worlds and adventures beyond his doorstep. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emilio_Salgari

I second Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!

Thanks, this is really interesting stuff.
