Mitch McConnell stated that the tax cuts increased employment. Politifact rates that statement as Half True[0]. In reality, it's fair to say tax cuts created an environment that was conducive to hiring, but also, the levels of hiring h

To add to this, another great design tool is Figma – it's browser based, but just as capable as Sketch. Although working in the browser often feels like a toy, the bonus is that it's cross-platform unlike Sketch. Also, for color h

Yes and I recall a lawsuit, or something, about Honest being ironically dishonest about the “organic” things they offer. But I’m not willing to fight over this one, so unless they cause a real problem it’s probably going to stay that way.

Same with my wife and I. We have already been hemming and hawing with our parents about buying high quality products as a general rule – nothing against Fisher Price or Greco, but we have just decided on nicer things – and in this spirit ha

I have a (fair warning) rant here that is likely going to ding my HN karma, but here-goes. I work closely with design and I am consistently saddened by the state of the tech industry when design discussions pop up on HN. They almost always
