Australia is the skin cancer capital of the world, with 2 in 3 of us diagnosed by age 70. The most used complication on my Apple Watch is the UV index, beating out weather temp, battery etc.

Did a quick search and no-one has flagged a11y/colour/contrast but the animating effect for the brand colour often had a colour contrast around the 1.0 range.

https://taitbrown.com -- I feel like it's "the mechanics car" or "the builders house". We're all too busy designing and building for other people, our own house looks like junk.

Would love to see the Red Cross partner with someone like you here in Australia. Not affiliated, just a donor. We're not financially incentivised like other countries but there's a big culture here about celebrating the free milkshake and/or sausage roll you get after donating.

Their poor little servers aren't coping well with the attention. The worst is a 1,004kb image so it's not excessively large.

Not sure why you've been downvoted so heavily. That seems like a misuse of the downvote purpose.

But yes, I kind of agree with other commenters here in that maybe teaching absolute respect of a knife/table saw/power tool and its power to maim is a really important lesson that this sidesteps?

At least they cared. I found an enumeration attack on an Australian referral service where phone numbers were keys and it returned way too much personal information. Responsibly disclosed numerous times, LinkedIn contacted employees. Not even acknowledged and at last check, still open vulnerability.

If CNT (Carbon Nanotubes) are displaying similar risk factors to asbestos, what is the scale difference between these? I've never felt so compelled to eat something that could kill me.

We take photos of our kids to track and timestamp anaphylaxis or other medical reasons. Incredibly important at the time, and then when dynamic wallpapers start mixing them in to the roster you desperately want to forget them.

Unfortunately the hit targets are stacked poorly. If I mouse in from the top right the number turns red, otherwise the text turns red.

Ensure you have adequate cleanup procedures too. I heard from ex-employees of a major car reselling platform that CSAM was distributed by creating a draft car ad, never publishing it and the CSAM was now hosted and accessible via direct image URLs. The records were orphaned, not sure how they got the tip-off.

Did it ever really matter?

"Design Twitter" is the only reason I haven't deleted my account yet. Yes, Twitter is full of toxicity and can easily become an echo chamber -- but if you actively set out to create one it can be a unique positive. Bear with me.

I follow a range of designers and front enders from the early Dribbble days and basically haven't added many people since. Yes it might be "polite" to follow back friends and colleagues who follow you, but it disrupts the balance. I don't even follow my own parents back because it introduces a bunch of off-topic content.

There's a name I haven't heard in a while!

DN was fun for a very brief moment. But really, it died so long ago I think someone flat out forgot to tell it.
