This just opens the market up to build a carseat that solves this problem. How about a regular seat that can be folded out or transformed into a seat suitable for children?

Yes, let's blame the people that are trying to solve illegal file-sharing issues. Spotify is competing with free and they offer such a great service that people are willing to pay 10 euros a month for a subscription. Most of my friends use more money on music streaming services now than they ever did back when they where buying cd's, and these are people who have been "pirates" for the last 10 years or so.

They do have multiple designs right now, just try to refresh the site. I'm guessing they are keeping track of the conversion rate on each of the designs and will change them once they have enough data points.

There seems to be multiple designs, try refreshing the site to see some of the other ones.

I don't like the new designs, when i first saw the "Designer templates" one I actually had to check the url just to verify that I was still at mailchimp.com and not some generic design tutorial site.

svnv | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: Regarding UI's, need design advice.

I would say it depends on what kind of data you are displaying, how much of it you need to actually have to display, and what you want the user to achieve with the data.

What is the desired call to action when displaying your lists? Is there any way to guess what data the user is looking for so that you can sort the list showing the most important data first.

For contacts: Do you need to display all available contact information all at once, or can you just display the contact name (or picture) and have more details appear when the user clicks or hovers over the contact? Can the contacts be sorted after how frequently the user communicates with a contact? Can the user choose multiple contacts and then do some action with them, and how would this work when the list is spread over multiple pages?

Our product is mostly ready for launch but we're waiting for a partner to finish integration with our API so we have some actual data to present present to our users.

Hmm, something funky is happening when I zoom in or out using Chrome. Some of the fonts change font-family when zooming and then changes back to the correct font when the zooming animation is finished.

svnv | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: Where do you host your webapp?

We use azure for our webapp. Works great so far, although the azure-website for managing server deployments is not very good. Also, you can use powershell and the azure tools for VS2010 instead of the azure-website.

Actually, I just realized this does not work, there is an off by 1 error here. jacksoncarter's piece of code works though.

svnv | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: How fast do you code?

Not that fast, but that is mainly because I am a noob, and I take pride in trying to avoid writing shitty code. Insted of just hammering away at the keyboard and using whatever just works I spend some time to make my code more redable and easy to maintain. Also, since we use TDD we end up writing a lot of tests for each pice of code that goes in to our product.

Isn't this faster for iterating over the elements:

  var a = ["banana", Math.min, 4, "apple"];
  for (var i=a.length; i; i--) {
    console.log(a[i]);
  }
