A Streetcar Line to the Underworld
This Halloween we would like to take you back in time for a look at the story of San Francisco's long lost funeral cars. As you may know in ancient Greek mythology, the deceased pass into the underworld aboard a boat crossing the River Styx. In early 19th century San Francisco, the macabre service of "Funeral Streetcars" swapped the River Styx for the County Line and the boat for a streetcar.
This 1905 shot shows United Railroads Funeral Car #3 on a spur track inside Olivet Memorial Park. URR had several spurs into cemeteries like Woodlawn, Cypress Lawn, and Holy Cross off the main line that ran down El Camino Real and Mission Road.
In 1900, the city had outgrown many of its early graveyards and officially outlawed new burial grounds within city limits. As a result, cemeteries just over the county line in Colma (later dubbed the "City of the Silent") rapidly grew with both new burials and graves relocated to outside the city. San Francisco residents wishing to inter their loved ones had few options for traveling to Colma. As roads were not well maintained, the journey by horse and carriage was long and difficult, and passenger rail service did not conveniently accommodate transporting a casket with funeral goers.
Shortly after its formation in 1902, the United Railroads Company (URR) expanded upon the area's first funeral car service, which was run by the San Francisco & San Mateo Electric Railway. Capitalizing on the demand for safe, efficient travel to and from the cemeteries, the company built up a five-car fleet of specialized cars to operate increased service by 1904. This service followed the 14 Mission and 40 San Mateo lines along Mission Street to Daly City and then via El Camino and Mission Road to the necropolis of Colma.
This is a photo-collage showing the amenities of URR's Funeral Car service from 1911. Photos at the top show the casket compartment, the comfortably furnished family compartment and the larger compartment to seat extended family and other mourners.
URR's new funeral cars were far from your standard electric streetcar but instead were beautiful coaches painted on the outside in a deep green with brick red colored roofs, oak window sashes, and gold lettering and numbers. Finished on the inside for the comfort of both the living and the dead, the cars had three compartments-- one to carry the coffin, a lavishly furnished one for family or close associations, and a nicely appointed larger seating compartment for general mourners. Riders were surrounded by wood paneling with heavy drapes and blinds for privacy as well as cushioned wicker chairs in the luxury family compartment. Some of the cars even featured lead inserts in the wheels and gears to make for a quieter, softer ride.
Velvet-cushioned wicker chairs fill the special luxury compartment of Funeral Car #3 in this 1905 shot. Note the heavy curtains, mirrored panels, decorative rugs, and even a nicely polished spittoon providing mourners with a comfortable trip to the graveyard.
As automobiles began to gain a larger foothold and the roads to the graveyards were improved, income from the funeral service began to decline. As early as 1908, URR cut down the number of cars assigned to the service and by 1921, the death bell tolled for URR's funeral cars. The end of funeral service also meant the end of the line for the last three cars to provide funeral trips and by 1926 all three were scrapped.
Want to dig deeper into San Francisco's graveyard history? Check out the SF Public Library's exhibit "Don't Disturb the Dead" on the 5th floor of the Main Branch. Or for those who like a side of exercise with their history nuggets, Shaping San Francisco is hosting a biking tour of several Colma cemeteries on Sunday, November 3rd from 1-3pm.

We Want to Loop You In!
The Mission Bay Loop, which provides turn-around capabilities for the T Third, is complete! What does this mean for Muni?
Located within the central waterfront area on the blocks of 18th, Illinois and 19th streets, the Loop increases the reliability of the system and provides additional rail service by allowing trains to turn around for special events at Chase Center and Oracle Park during peak use periods.
In addition to supporting current transit service, the Loop is integral to operations of the Central Subway Project due to population growth in the southeast section of the city and the need to provide transit service to destinations such as Caltrain, BART the Financial District and the Chinatown area.
The Mission Bay Loop was designed in 1998 as part of the Third Street Light Rail Project, which was completed in 2003. To complete the Loop, the existing trackway on 18th and 19th streets between Third and Illinois streets were extended, in addition to upgrading underground utilities. Crosswalks and traffic signals were also installed at the intersections of 18th and Illinois streets and 19th and Illinois streets.
The Loop is a new tool that will help to move people in and out of the southeast section of the City more efficiently. We thank the community for their patience during the construction of this project, as well as Mayor London Breed’s office, Supervisor Shamann Walton’s office, San Francisco Department of Public Works, and the San Francisco Port.
We are always looking for ways to improve your commute, let us know what you think in the comment section below.

Launch HN: zeroheight (YC S19) – design docs that stay up-to-date Hi HN! We’re Jerome and Robin, the founders of zeroheight ( https://zeroheight.com/ ). zeroheight is an online editor that lets companies create a wiki site to document their design process. The documentation is integrated with their design tools so that it’s always up-to-date, which enables large design and development teams to stay on the same page, ship faster and deliver consistent user experiences. Documentation is the first piece of the puzzle – our vision is to enable any company in the world to have a "design system": a system of reusable UX and front-end components, tools and guidelines. We want companies that don’t have the resources of design giants like Salesforce, IBM and Shopify to be able to create design systems which are just as powerful e.g. https://ift.tt/1MLRahW (Salesforce), https://ift.tt/2Qkhk5G (IBM), https://ift.tt/2ovyryH (Shopify) Our startup journey started 4 years ago at a YC Startup School event in London – it was the final push of inspiration we needed to make the jump and quit our Big Finance Co programming jobs :) We joined Entrepreneur First (a pre-seed incubator) with a list of startup ideas (including some really bad ones!) and spent most of our time emailing people and going for coffees. For two coders who were excited to code and build a product, this was a tough reality check of what starting a startup can be like in the beginning! At the time, one problem that really resonated with people was that the design-development handoff process was pretty painful. This was something we had experienced at work: designers sending manually annotated PDF specs and PNG assets as email attachments etc. We thought it was an exciting space, so we went ahead and built a design-development handoff tool. The problem was that there were already some great products in the space that had a head start – such as Zeplin (YC S15) :) – so despite gaining some customer traction, it wasn't enough for us to raise money. This led us to go back to basics: talk to users... So we went for coffee with our customers to figure out what other problems we could solve in the space and built the following series of insights: - Good design is now the default, most products need a great user experience to compete - Because of this, companies are spending a lot more resources on design/UX and growing their design teams rapidly - In order to be able to collaborate at scale, design teams have started adopting a component-based workflow – similar to how engineers have worked for years - But breaking designs down into components is not enough. In order to successfully collaborate at scale, designers and front-end coders need written documentation on _how_ to use the components. The design components are the lego bricks and the design documentation is the much needed lego instruction manual. So what’s the problem? We dug deeper and found that there are two hurdles that tend to prevent companies from creating successful documentation for their design system. 1. Companies that _do_ have the front-end engineering resources to build custom design documentation in-house (or leverage a tool like Storybook) often end up with engineer-driven documentation that is up-to-date with production code, but is hard for non-technical designers to contribute to. This leads those designers to create their own, separate documentation, which in turn causes fragmentation between design and development teams — one of the problems that having a design system is trying to combat in the first place! 2. Companies that _don't_ have the spare front-end engineering resources to build custom docs use tools like Confluence, Google Docs, Notion etc. but these types of wiki tools aren't built for purpose and the documentation can easily end up out of sync with the latest designs and code Based on this we built a minimal yet powerful editor (in the spirit of Dropbox Paper or Notion) that makes it very easy for anyone to document their reusable UX components, tools and guidelines (their “design system”). The editor is integrated with both design and development tools so that the docs stay up-to-date. On the design side we provide Sketch, Figma and Adobe XD plugins to sync UX components and styles. Designers can update the designs inside the docs at the click of a button without having to leave their design tools. On the engineering side we offer Codepen-like interactive previews as well as the ability to embed Storybook stories – so designs and front-end code can live side-by-side in the docs. In order for it to be easily accessible by the entire company (and possibly made public), the documentation can be published as a standalone website and shared with anyone using a link (or protected with a password) To get a better idea of what a zeroheight docs site looks like when shared, check out this example site from one of our users ( https://ift.tt/2JDwOfN ) or our demo site ( https://ift.tt/324i7c9 ) That’s all for now... we’d love to hear your thoughts on what we’re building in the comments below! PS: if you’re a full-stack / front-end engineer in London that would like to help us build zeroheight, I’d love to connect :) PPS: our office is nice and leafy → https://ift.tt/2BZEtkv October 31, 2019 at 10:29AM

Show HN: I created a (hopefully fast) C++ lib to find words in ASCII sequences Hi, to provide a bit context, I'm the author of a small causal android game called "Squabbel"[1] which is a modern take on a merge of tetris and scrabble. Its core is based around the idea to find strings within a sequence of characters, which is accomplished by using a deterministic finite automaton. Currently I'm working on the successor of Squabbel and I was optimizing the internal search engine and refactored the code to a c++ library which is now available on github https://ift.tt/2ps9FpU The search times are to my needs pretty good and I would love to get some feedback on the performance. Thanks. [1] https://ift.tt/2WtR09p October 30, 2019 at 06:00PM

Daylight Saving, Dia de los Muertos and Golden Gate Half Marathon
Daylight Saving Time Reminder:
This Sunday, it’s time to fall back one hour as Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 a.m. While our phones will make the time adjustment automatically, don’t forget to wind those watches and clocks back one hour. This is also the time of year when collisions tend to spike as people are traveling in the dark more often. However you are traveling, remember to bring your bike lights, turn on your car lights, look for pedestrians, slow down and be safe.
Saturday, 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Mission
A tradition with roots that trace back hundreds of years, Dia De Los Muertos has become one of the city’s best known cultural events and a Mission District institution. The procession, celebrating and remembering departed ancestors, will mix music, art and performances. In addition to the procession, there will be a Festival of Altars at La Raza Park. from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m.
The procession will take place in the heart of The Mission District commencing at 7 p.m. from Bryant and 22nd streets moving along Bryant Street up 24th Street then across Mission Street down 22nd Street and back to Bryant Street.
How to Get There on Muni: Procession watchers and participants may utilize the 12 Folsom/Pacific, 14 Mission, 14R Mission Rapid, 27 Bryant, 48 Quintara/24th Street, 49 Mission/Van Ness, 67 Bernal Heights routes, or BART to 24th Street station.
Muni Service Note: Due to the procession route and a large number of anticipated participants, the 12 Folsom/Pacific, 14 Mission, 14R Mission Rapid, 27 Bryant, 48 Quintara/24th Street, 49 Mission/Van Ness, and 67 Bernal Heights will have re-routes.
Sunday, 7 a.m. start time
Aquatic Park
Runners from around the Bay Area and beyond will descend upon the north shores of San Francisco as the sun rises this Sunday morning to take part in the Golden Gate Half Marathon and 5K. One of the few races in the city that actually takes participants across the famous bridge, the race showcases some of the most stunning views of the city and many of its iconic landmarks such as Alcatraz Island. The race will begin in Aquatic Park, take runners across the eastern walkway of the Golden Gate Bridge to Vista Point in Marin County before runners return to the city via the bridge's western walkway, passing through the Presidio and Marina before concluding back in Aquatic Park. There will be a Finish Line Festival at the conclusion of the half marathon and 5K featuring food, drinks and a beer garden.
How to Get There on Muni: Runners and spectators alike may take the Powell-Hyde Cable Car Line, 19 Polk, 22 Fillmore, 28 19th Avenue, 30 Stockton, 47 Van Ness or 49 Van Ness/Mission routes to various sections of the course.
Muni Service Notes: The 28, 30, 47 and 49 routes will have reroutes for this event. All routes in the area may see increased ridership and possible minor delays.
Remember that you can Muni the entire day for a single $5 fare. The new $5 Day Pass, available on MuniMobile®, is part of Muni’s recent fare changes. The pass is intended to encourage a safe, convenient way to pay your fare and quickly board Muni vehicles, which reduces overall travel time for everyone. The $5 Day Pass is Muni bus, rail and historic streetcars only.
“On Tap” gives you a heads up about the big events in town and what Muni routes and lines will get you to the party. Look for this feature to be posted usually on Thursdays for a look ahead to the weekend. Check out our Weekend Traffic & Transit Advisory for more details.

Show HN: Beating Hinton et al.'s capsule net with fewer params and less training Hello HN, I recently posted a work-in-progress paper, along with code necessary for replicating all its results, at: https://ift.tt/36cfoki Among other things, the code in this repo outperforms Hinton et al.'s recent state-of-the-art result in visual recognition[0] while requiring fewer parameters and an order-of-magnitude fewer training epochs . Most of the original research we do at work tends to be either proprietary in nature or tightly coupled to internal code, so we cannot share it with the world. In this case, however, I was able to remove all traces of internal code and release this as stand-alone open-source software without having to disclose any key IP. I've reached out to academics in different groups for feedback, and the response so far has been positive, although most have only skimmed the paper. It will likely take a few weeks to get proper feedback from academia. In the meantime, I figured there are a lot of super-smart, knowledgeable people on HN who would love to take a look at this and share their thoughts. Please feel free to ask questions. Let me know what you think! [0] https://ift.tt/36kuG6i October 30, 2019 at 08:29AM

New Escalators Rising to the Challenge
The SFMTA is happy to report that the Van Ness inbound platform escalator, the last unit in line for rehabilitation, is now entirely functional once again after months of construction.
We initially broke the project into two phases. Phase One had five escalators being replaced at the Church, Powell and Van Ness stations. That work was completed in 2014.
Phase Two of the project began the following year and included rehabbing 17 escalators – at the Montgomery, Powell, Hallidie Plaza, Civic Center, Van Ness, Church and Castro stations. The new escalators, equipped with the state of art technology, now greatly improve safety, reliability and access to the Muni system.
Features of the new escalators include:

Originally, the contract required the single white color lights to be installed for illumination. However, as the rainbow lights installed as an experiment become an instant success on the first rehabbed escalator at Harvey Milk Plaza in 2015, the color lights were replicated to all four escalators at Castro, thanks to the recommendations by Castro Merchants and other community stakeholders. The plan was later extended to all Muni escalators in the subway.
The lights featured nine colors at Castro resemble the rainbow flag flying over Market and Castro streets. The rest of the stations have three-color lights that can be adjusted to reflect local culture and festivities. For instance, the prominent colors at Powell Station next to the Cable Car Turnaround feature the cable car yellow and burgundy.

Before beginning this project, most of the escalators in Muni subway stations had been on the job since 1973. They were old, outdated and subject to frequent breakdowns, ultimately necessitating a major overhaul.
Coming up next is the final part of the project involving the installation of stainless-steel gates for each of the 17 units. This work will take approximately two months.

Show HN: We've built graphics comparison tool Hi, I wanted to share with You our project (https://comparere.io). We have built a website for comparing graphics and designs. The concept is simple, you have to just drag'n drop two designs you are having trouble to pick from. The idea has emarged when we stumbled across many different facebook groups for graphic designers, where they used to sometimes ask the community for help to decide which design is better. I had similar problem too. Hopefully this tool will help graphic/ux designers build/create projects that will appeal to more audiences. We are looking forward to read about your impressions.

( https://ift.tt/2khVLny ) Carve is a car sharing marketplace where you can rent cars from local dealerships. So if you don’t own a car but need one for a few days, you can get a car that fits your needs at a reasonable price. We built this product because when we moved to New York after college, we both gave up cars, and even though most places we needed to be were easily accessible via Subway or Lyft, there were still lots of things we wanted to do that we couldn't using public transit or ride share apps. When it came to leaving the city to ski in Vermont or hike upstate, for example, the existing options were all either expensive (Zipcar, Car2Go), inconvenient (Avis, Hertz), or inconsistent (Turo, Getaround). Sam and I are both from the Midwest, so neither of us are strangers to car dealerships—drive ten miles in any direction from our childhood homes and you'll see massive lots filled with cars waiting to be sold. We started speaking with these businesses and realized that keeping all those cars sitting around is really, really expensive. Compounding this problem is the fact that new cars sales are falling and dealership inventory levels are historically high. In response to the issues that dealerships face and the slate of bad rental options, we built a platform on which dealers can list their cars to be rented. It's good for dealers because they can offset financing costs and depreciation of idle inventory without much effort. For renters, it means a short-term rental option that’s on average 30% cheaper any other comparable option, offers a wider selection of cars, and allows for human-free pickup and drop off. It works as follows. First, browse our site for a car. Once you make a reservation, we'll email you an Uber voucher for $20 off your trip to and from the vehicle pickup location (a 24-hour valet lot in the city). When you arrive at the pickup location, show the attendant your reservation email and they'll fetch you your car. Once you’re done with the car, drive back to lot and hand the keys to the attendant. Use the Uber voucher to call a car to bring you back home. At the moment, we're only operating in San Francisco, but we'll be expanding soon to Oakland and LA. If you're in SF, try us out and use the promo code HN10 to get 10% off of any rental! We’d love to get some feedback and are happy to answer questions! October 28, 2019 at 11:05AM

Pre-Pay, Get Cable Car Tickets the Easy Way!
No experience is more San Francisco than riding a cable car, its a trip through history and the most exciting way to climb our steep hills. Something you might not know about the city’s cable cars is that the easiest way to ride them is to buy tickets before you board. That’s right. The quickest way to catch a cable car is to pre-pay for your trip with a Clipper® card, via MuniMobile® or at sales locations around the city.
From one-way tickets, costing seven dollars, to passes for multiple rides, you can find all up-to-date pricing details for Adult and Youth tickets* on our webpage. Please note, cable car fares must be purchased in advance before boarding at the terminals located at Powell & Market, Bay & Taylor and Hyde & Beach Streets from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. *Discounted cable car rides, costing three dollars, for Seniors, Disabled and Medicare tickets are from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m.
Clipper is the all-in-one transit card for the Bay Area. To ride our world-famous cable cars using Clipper, buy a one, three or seven-day Visitor Passport for discounts on multi-day rides. Clipper also offers a monthly “M” or “A” Pass that includes cable car rides along with other transportation. Information on purchasing a Clipper card at sales locations and in stations can be found at ClipperCard.com. A three dollar card fee applies for initial purchase.
MuniMobile is the official ticketing app for Muni, the city’s transit system. MuniMobile lets you buy and use tickets instantly from your smartphone. No transaction fees apply. Buy a one, three or seven-day Visitor Passport via MuniMobile for discounts on multi-day rides. For details on downloading the MuniMobile app or purchasing cable car for multiple riders from a single phone (you can purchase and store up to 60 individual tickets at a time!) please visit our webpage.
Great for multi-day travel, a Visitor Passport allows for one, three or seven consecutive days of unlimited rides on cable cars (as well as Muni, Muni Metro and historic streetcars). Passports can be purchased at ticket kiosks, on Clipper, via MuniMobile and at sales locations. A discount applies when purchasing Passports on MuniMobile or Clipper.
Cable cars were invented in San Francisco nearly 150 years ago. Today, there are three lines to choose from -- two start at Powell & Market and continue to the Fisherman's Wharf area; one starts at California & Market and continues to Van Ness Avenue. No matter which direction you’re headed, there’s a fun adventure waiting for you onboard a cable car!
For more information on how to ride cable cars and other Muni transit vehicles, visit our webpage. Also, the Cable Car Museum is always free and a fun way to learn about these National Historic Landmarks.

Show HN: Due.work – Simplify your work, to-do's and communications Hello Everyone! I am Robins Gupta, founder of Due.Work (https://www.due.work/). About 3 months ago we launched Due.work in beta (which was previously known as Birtly) with the mission to simplify the way people work together in a team. Today we have 1000+ (startup and business) using our system to manage their daily work and projects. Due.work was created out of frustration when I and my co-founder(Ravi) were working on our first startup (Snaphy Labs) helping startups build Mobile and Web Apps for their business. We were struggling with having a single tool by which we can manage all our clients, their requirements and work. Some tool like Jira was too complex to be used by all of our teams while some like trello was too simple and good but things would be used to get messier always when we had more than 50-60 tasks present on board at a time. Our goal while creating yet another project management software was to create a tool that would be very simple to use and also would serve as a distraction-free medium where we can focus on one task at a time without getting distracted by another task present in todo's list so that to increase the overall productivity of our work. To achieve that we ended up having divided each project into 4 different pages. 1. Home (All Tasks) 2. My Tasks (Only those tasks which are assigned to me ) 3. Today (Tasks which needs to be completed today only) 4. Next7Days (Tasks which needs to be completed in next 7 days) Further to make things more user-friendly to each user we have divided each of these pages into 3 seperate views ( List, Board, Timeline ). It has many more other features that I haven't mentioned above like communication, Activities, web push functionality so that one can get all updates without even opening an email or website. We have also worked on pricing and decided to offer flat pricing like basecamp but much more affordable. We are super excited to launch ourselves on HN and also, eager to get your feedback on the Due.work: https://ift.tt/2pNll6q October 24, 2019 at 06:16PM

Video: Zaza With the Pass, Jumps On Muni!
For the past few months, our agency has successfully provided service to Chase Center—delivering patrons to headline concerts, wrestling matches and corporate events. Parking at the arena and in Mission Bay will be extremely limited. Wherever you live in the Bay Area, public transit will be the fastest, most reliable and least expensive way to get to Chase Center. As a special bundling partnership, all Warriors fans and concert-goers can ride Muni for free to Chase Center. Your event ticket is your Muni fare, so you'll be able to ride Muni all day (excludes cable car). We made this announcement back in July as a partnership between the city of San Francisco and the Golden State Warriors.
As we gear up for the official start to basketball season, thousands of fans who may be unfamiliar with our system and the city will be heading to Chase Center for the first time. This week, Warriors star Zaza Pachulia showed us how it’s done! He joined us for a smooth ride—making a seamless connection from BART to Muni at Embarcadero station, and then a quick shot down Third Street along the T-Third line.
Any Chase Center patron who shows his or her event ticket at Muni turnstiles and boarding platforms will be able to ride Muni without charge. Both electronic and physical tickets for events – including Warriors basketball games, concerts and other events at Chase Center – will serve as proof of payment for Muni service throughout the day. We want to remind our customers to keep their tickets handy to show to station agents at Metro stations to get to the train’s platform or Transit Fare Inspectors, if asked. We also use all-door boarding across our system—so passengers with a valid ticket can board through any door so we can quickly get you to the event or game!
Basketball fans, here are a few handy tips to keep in mind:
Taking transit to Chase Center will be the most efficient, economical, and sustainable way to get to the arena. The Warriors chose the Mission Bay site for the new arena largely because of its transit-rich location. With a Muni Metro T Line stop right at its doorstep, dedicated Muni special event bus shuttles (78X and 79X) and a Muni stop serving the 55, 48 and 22 lines within one block, Muni will be the best way to get to Chase Center. Don’t forget you can sign up for our Chase Center Transportation Plan updates via text or e-mail.
Check out the video below of Zaza aboard Muni. Name someone more iconic you’ve seen aboard one of our vehicles. We’ll wait.

Launch HN: Mutiny (YC S18) – Website Personalization for B2B Companies Hello everyone! We're Jaleh & Nikhil, the founders of Mutiny ( https://ift.tt/343xxP5 ). We help companies personalize their website for each visitor to close more sales. We are built for B2B companies that are actively growing their website traffic. For the majority of these companies, 97-99% of their visitors don’t convert to a trial or sales conversation. Typically the reason is that when potential customers come to their site they don’t understand why the product is great for them. This happens because customers from different industries and company sizes are looking for different things when they land on a website and are motivated by different social proof. Mutiny enables B2B companies to dynamically customize the website’s message, images, and call-to-action to match the visitor. For example, one of our customers Amplitude, a product analytics company, changes its website’s customer logos on their pricing page and signup form to match the visitor’s industry. This specific personalization generates 54% more leads. Another customer Carta, an equity management product, changes their homepage headline and messaging to highlight product features that matter most based on the visitor’s company size. They have seen 80% more leads in their smaller customer segments as a result. Mutiny was inspired by our own experience. Nikhil and I were early Gusto employees and helped grow the company from 500 to 50,000 customers such as startups, restaurants and accounting firms. I led marketing and quickly learned that the same message did not work for all the businesses we served, resulting in low conversion rates. This problem got worse as we started to spend more on advertising/content and attracting customers who had never heard of us before. Personalizing the buyer experience helped increase conversion rates, but doing it well required a lot of expertise and engineering work. And after speaking with other marketers and growth teams we realized that virtually every B2B company serves multiple audiences with different needs, but doesn't have sufficient engineering support to personalize their experience. Here’s how it works: Set up: User adds the Mutiny javascript to their website and defines their website conversion events in the Mutiny UI. 1. Understand visitors: We have pre-built data integrations (e.g. Clearbit, Segment, Salesforce, UTM) to identify visitors by their industry, company size, funnel stage, advertising campaign, free user v/s paid user and more. We also display how many visitors fall into each segment and what their conversion is. 2. Prioritize the highest impact segments: Mutiny analyzes visitor traffic, conversion & CRM data to recommend the best audience segments for personalization. It then suggests personalization playbooks that fit with the recommended segment & walks the user through best practices for personalizing each segment’s experience. 3. Personalize any website element: Users can load any page on their website inside Mutiny’s visual editor, and change any html element such as text, image or call-to-action for that segment. 4. Measure results: Every Mutiny experience has an automatic control group that never sees personalization, allowing users to measure the impact of personalized experiences compared to non-personalized. Mutiny is being used by Brex, Segment, Elastic, Amplitude, Carta & others who are seeing 40-200% more leads with Mutiny. Our detailed case studies including screenshots of personalized web pages are available here: https://ift.tt/2N3gLJ2 We have released 30+ personalization playbooks that we have seen work well across b2b companies here: https://ift.tt/2pS5Z0E . If you are a smaller startup with little website traffic, but are actively reaching out to potential customers through email or LinkedIn, check out the “ABM” (Account based Marketing) playbooks. We are super excited to be on HN today and will be around all day to hear about your experiences, any ideas, and feedback you might have. October 24, 2019 at 11:51AM

Halloween Weekend: Scaregrove, Castro Block Party and More
Events: Extra fingers will be required to count up the myriad events taking place around the city throughout this coming weekend. Halloween is quickly approaching with this weekend seeing a plethora of themed events in celebration of the holiday. Head down to Stern Grove this Friday for the annual Scaregrove Halloween Festival and consider it a warm-up for Saturday's "Glow in the Streets" Halloween weekend block party in the Castro. Treasure Island's TreasureFest "Halloween Market" will also take advantage of the holiday theme for its penultimate monthly event of the year. Sunday will host Halloween Hoopla, the final day of this year's Yerba Buena Gardens Festival in SoMa. There will also be a multitude of non-Halloween-themed events around the city on Saturday, including the 37th annual Leap Sandcastle Classic at Ocean Beach, the World Veg Festival in Golden Gate Park, and the Fall Harvest Artisan Food Festival in Nob Hill. Read about our featured events below.

Friday, 3 to 9 p.m.
Stern Grove
Kick off the Halloween celebrations this Friday at the annual Scaregrove Festival in Stern Grove. This year's event will feature a costume contest, carnival rides, food, live music, entertainment and more spooky fun for the whole family.
How to Get There on Muni: The Muni Metro K Ingleside or M Ocean View lines, as well as the 23 Monterey, 28 19th Avenue, 28R 19th Avenue Rapid, or the 57 Parkmerced routes will take riders close to Stern Grove.
Muni Service Notes: There are no planned service changes for this event.
Saturday, 4 to 9:30 p.m.
Castro
While not inherently Halloween-themed, the third annual Glow in the Streets Block Party in the Castro should have its fair share of colorful costumes on display, especially during the costume contest portion of the evening. The event will also feature DJs, live dance performances, face and body painting and more.
How to Get There on Muni: Riders may take the F Market and Wharves Line, the K Ingleside, L Taraval or M Ocean View Muni Metro lines to Castro station, as well as the 24 Divisadero, 33 Ashbury/18th Street, 35 Eureka or the 37 Corbett routes to near the event.
Muni Service Notes: There are no planned service changes for the event.
Remember that you can take Muni for the entire day for a single $5 fare. The new $5 Day Pass, available on MuniMobile®, is part of Muni’s recent fare changes. The pass is intended to encourage a safe, convenient way to pay your fare and quickly board Muni vehicles, which reduces overall travel time for everyone. The $5 Day Pass is Muni bus, rail and historic streetcars only.
“On Tap” gives you a heads up about the big events in town and what Muni routes and lines will get you to the party. Look for this feature to be posted usually on Thursdays for a look ahead to the weekend. Check out our Weekend Traffic & Transit Advisory for more details.

Vision Zero Update
It’s nationally been tragic news: traffic fatalities, especially for pedestrians, are on the rise. After decades of progress, the numbers are closer to 1989 than 2009, and the most vulnerable road users- pedestrians, children and seniors- are killed in the thousands annually across the country. Locally, we’ve lost 24 people to traffic deaths on our streets as of October 2019, 14 of those while walking.
The costs of these preventable incidents extend beyond loss of life alone. Families are left devastated and first responders carry deep emotional burdens. Second to the emotional impact is the fiscal cost of responding to and treating injuries from traffic collisions. Whereas annual medical costs related to treating pedestrian injuries at San Francisco General Hospital is 15 million dollars, total health-related costs that can be attributed to pedestrian injuries exceeds 500 million dollars.
Each lost life is one too many. The SFMTA, with sister departments the Department of Public Health and the San Francisco Police Department and with leadership from the Mayor’s Office and the Board of Supervisors, is committed to making streets safer as quickly as possible.
This February, the City released the 2019 Vision Zero Action Strategy. It prioritizes the strategies that make the biggest difference in safety, including clear actions that the city is taking, and transformative policies that need state-level change. We’ve been making strong progress on many of our actions: legislating a full private-vehicle closure on Market Street, working with the Bayview community on advancing transportation safety in their community, and expanding the City’s Safe Routes to Schools program to every SF Unified School District elementary school.
However, we understand safer streets can’t come quickly enough. As Mayor London Breed told us earlier this year, “the current pace of traffic safety improvements in San Francisco is unacceptable and I refuse to allow red tape and bureaucracy to stop us from taking immediate, common-sense steps to improve safety while we undergo long-term improvements.” SFMTA has committed to finding ways to getting safety improvements in the ground as fast as possible, including expanding our engineering commitments.
In June, SFMTA adopted the quick-build policy - with basic changes to the Transportation Code, SFMTA can now design, legislate, and implement projects with significant time savings. With timelines reduced by as many as seven months, several vital quick-build safety projects have been implemented since the new policy was adopted earlier this year, including 6th Street, Taylor Street and segments of Townsend Street. The 7th Street protected bikeway was implemented in as few as 10 weeks.
SFMTA has quadrupled our initial quick-build commitments, with a new promise of delivering 10 projects in 2019. With an original goal of building eight miles of sustainable travel lanes annually, with the Mayor’s leadership, the agency additionally now commits to installing 20 miles of protected bikeways in the next two years.
We are not only focusing on corridor projects. With essential input from the Board of Supervisors and passionate advocates, we are re-thinking how our intersections on the high-injury network should be designed. 60% of collisions occur in an intersection, and engineering tools can improve visibility, facilitate crossing and reduce vehicle speeds.
For example, this year, the North of Market/ South of Market signal project will re-time one-third of the city’s traffic signals for slower driving speeds, longer crossing times and pedestrian head starts. In the Tenderloin, last weekend SFMTA installed 9 pedestrian ‘scrambles’ – a pedestrian-only traffic signal phase that makes it safe for people to cross without conflict from turning vehicles.
Other programmatic intersection improvements that engineers are working on across the city include high-visibility crosswalks and daylighting intersections, making pedestrians more visible to drivers when crossing the street.
San Francisco is a leader in the safe streets movement and uses a data-driven, evidence-based approach to save lives. Through a partnership with the Department of Public Health, the city is looking to expand its intersection traffic calming tool kit with an upcoming pilot study to consider left-turn traffic calming treatments as well as developing policy recommendations for turn restrictions on red.
SFMTA also works directly with the San Francisco Police Department for focused enforcement on known high-injury streets, and on the causes that are most likely to result in a severe injury and fatalities – speeding, failure to yield and running STOP signs or red lights. SFMTA Parking Control Officers complement SFPD enforcement efforts by enforcing no stopping in bike lanes, double-parking and parking in bus zones.
We’re also working with the State of California, to make progress on some of our transformative policy goals. SFMTA is a member of the State’s Zero Traffic Fatalities Task Force, where recommendations will be made to legislators about changes to speed limit setting and speed enforcement at the end of this year.
With strong local leadership, dedicated staff and advocates, broad city partnership and an action strategy grounded in proven policy, San Francisco will continue to pursue all efforts in the areas they are most needed in order to protect everyone who lives, works or visits the City from traffic-related injury.

Show HN: Tab Sharing Without Screencasting Hi HN, I've developed a Chrome extension that provides tab-sharing functionality without the use of screencasting. The product works by keeping the DOM on a mirrored page in sync with the driver's display. This is achieved by listening for DOM events on the driver's page and relaying them to the mirror as display instructions (e.g. add/remove a node, change attribute, scroll page, etc.). While the mirrored page gets the DOM structure directly from their peer via a WebRTC connection, the bulk of the resources and visible content (e.g. images, fonts, stylesheets, etc.) are downloaded directly from the site being browsed. There are two significant advantages of this technology: 1) Because each peer is rendering the same DOM with all images downloaded from the same source, they see identical, full-resolution displays of the same web page. In contrast, screencasting over limited bandwidth connections often appears as jerky, low-resolution representations. 2) As the peer-to-peer messages sent to maintain page sync tend to be small, the application does not require significant upload bandwidth and can be more performant for users with slower internet connections. To check it out, you will need to create an account, link up with another user, and install the extension. Instructions for doing this can be found at https://ift.tt/2Byn4iK I hope you give it a try and I'd be eager to hear any thoughts, suggestions, or requests! October 21, 2019 at 04:30PM

6th Street Pedestrian Safety Project Quick-Build Improvements
Earlier this month, SFMTA staff implemented quick-build safety improvements as part of the 6th Street Pedestrian Safety Project. The 6th Street corridor is an important north-south artery for people in vehicles as well as on foot. The street has also been identified as an area where vulnerable populations are in particular need of pedestrian safety improvements. Here Tom Maguire and Viktoriya Wise, the Interim Directors of Transportation and Sustainable Streets, are supporting our paint and sign crews to install a painted safety zone at 6th and Jessie streets. Painted safety zones have a dual purpose of slowing down vehicles that are turning at the intersection while improving visibility between drivers and pedestrians.
Implementing pedestrian and bicycle safety improvements that make streets and sidewalks safer can sometimes take years to design, bid, and construct. Since safety can’t wait, we have committed to deliver 15 quick-build projects through 2020, while also working on long-term capital projects, on the Vision Zero High Injury Network. Reversible and adjustable, examples of quick-build improvements include repainting streets, curbs, installing signs or plastic barriers, retiming traffic signals, or constructing transit boarding islands.
In addition to painted safety zones, other quick-build improvements on 6th Street, between Market and Howard streets, included removing a southbound lane of traffic, restricting left turns and removing parking spaces at intersections. All of these improvements will allow pedestrians and others to navigate this stretch of 6th Street more safely. Working with businesses, employers, residents and community representatives, this project offers a clear path toward improvements that will improve 6th Street for everyone.

Reimagine Potrero Yard with Us
Potrero Yard, one of Muni’s oldest bus yards, is the first facility in the modernization and improvement project being proposed through the Building Progress Program. The SFMTA launched the Building Progress Program with the intent to upgrade our old facilities across San Francisco. These upgrades include facility improvements for Muni operations, traffic enforcement, and systems maintenance to better serve our riders and to keep the City moving.
After nearly two years of community outreach and with guidance provided by the Potrero Yard Neighborhood Working Group (consisting of eleven community members and two Muni operators), the SFMTA will be hosting a Potrero Yard Project Open House & Pre-Application Meeting at The Archery, located at 498 Alabama Street, to present our project concept to rebuild Potrero Yard.
The event will provide an opportunity for the public to learn and share feedback about the project concept, which is the framework for: a modern new bus facility, a residential community above the bus yard, and ground floor activation around the building before it is submitted to the San Francisco Planning Department. The pre-application meeting is the first step of the development process and there will be many more opportunities for community members to weigh in as we continue to define the project.
Saturday, October 26, 2019
11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The Archery
Nearby Muni Routes: 9 San Bruno, 22 Fillmore, 27 Bryant, 33 Ashbury/18th, and 55 16th Street.
Families are encouraged to bring children - we will have fall activities and snacks for all!
Potrero Yard was built in 1915 and sits on 4.4 acres between Bryant and 17th streets, near the Mission, Potrero Hill, and South of Market neighborhoods. The two-story facility originally operated as a streetcar facility and has since expanded to hold 158 40-foot and 60-foot trolley buses.
Due to the building’s age and changes in bus fleet technology, major improvements are needed to ensure we maintain our fleet of buses as efficiently as possible and that we can accommodate our new buses that will be delivered in the next eight years.
A building renovation cannot solve all of the maintenance challenges and facility expansion needs of the yard. Further, we need to enhance the building’s resilience to climate change and natural disasters. So, we are looking to completely rebuild Potrero Yard.
The new three-story facility will be state-of-the-art and will allow the SFMTA to keep buses on the road longer between fixes. As a result, we will improve service for our 102,000 daily customers who rely on the six bus routes (5 Fulton, 5R Fulton Rapid, 6 Haight-Parnassus, 14 Mission, 22 Fillmore, and 30 Stockton) that run out of the yard.
The modern yard will store 213 buses - an increase of 35 percent.
In addition, the facility will:
As the SFMTA plans how to modernize our facilities, we are also partnering with the City (SF Planning, Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development, and the Office of Economic and Workforce Development) to explore housing above Potrero Yard. Given the large footprint and centralized location of many of our yards, we understand working with our City family to tackle the need for more housing is important. With stakeholder input, the City has collaborated on specific elements such as zoning, neighborhood characteristics, density, and shadow considerations, as well as cost estimates. As we present the proposed project concept to our community stakeholders, we hope to collect feedback that will help inform the project concept that we include in the Project Application to the Planning Department.
We hope you can attend this month’s event. However, if you are unable to attend there are additional ways to stay engaged.
Learn more about the project, register to take a tour of the yard and subscribe to project updates by visiting our webpage.

This Weekend: Potrero Hill Festival and Corgi Con
Waldo(g) showcasing one of the many corgi-sized costumes that will be on display during Corgi Con this Saturday at Ocean Beach. Photo: Daniel Ge/Flickr
Saturday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Potrero Hill
The 30th annual Potrero Hill Festival takes place this Saturday in the iconic eponymous neighborhood (on 20th Street between Wisconsin and Missouri streets) beginning at 11 a.m. The event celebrates the Potrero community and features local food vendors, homegrown artists, musicians, historians and much more. Benefits from the Festival will support the Potrero Hill Neighborhood House (NABE), a community resource that provides programs designed to help the residents of the Potrero Hill community.
How to Get There on Muni: The 10 Townsend and 19 Polk routes will take riders close to the event.
Muni Service Notes: The 10 Townsend will have a reroute while both the 10 and the 19 routes may see minor delays or increased ridership during the event..
Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Ocean Beach
Corgis are longer than they are tall, mounted atop stubby little legs that don't look up to the task of supporting their weight, and hundreds of them will take over a portion of Ocean Beach during Corgi Con this Saturday. Dog and human alike will enjoy a beach day on the northern end of Ocean Beach near the Cliff House, partaking in events ranging from a costume contest, an obstacle course and a good old fashioned footrace.
How to Get There on Muni: Riders may take the 5 Fulton, 18 46th Avenue, 31 Balboa, 38 Geary or the 38R Geary Rapid routes to near the event.
Muni Service Notes: There are no planned service changes for this event, though corgi ridership may be increased on beach-bound routes.
Remember that you can take Muni for the entire day for a single $5 fare. The new $5 Day Pass, available on MuniMobile®, is part of Muni’s recent fare changes. The pass is intended to encourage a safe, convenient way to pay your fare and quickly board Muni vehicles, which reduces overall travel time for everyone. The $5 Day Pass is Muni bus, rail and historic streetcars only.
“On Tap” gives you a heads up about the big events in town and what Muni routes and lines will get you to the party. Look for this feature to be posted usually on Thursdays for a look ahead to the weekend. Check out our Weekend Traffic & Transit Advisory for more details.

Show HN: My son's first GitHub repo I have finally convinced my son to take a step forward to publish something in public domain. As he is learning Python these days, he made a scraper to download Cambridge past papers (GCSE / IGCSE). If you like it, encourage the kid by pressing the Star button :) https://ift.tt/2BioBZR October 17, 2019 at 12:12PM

Launch HN: Multis (YC S19): online business bank account for cryptocurrency Hi HN, We're Théophile and Thibaut, and we're building Multis ( https://multis.co ): an online bank account designed for companies holding cryptocurrency. We're helping them store it, spend it and earn interest. We have been in this industry for the past 3 years. Thibaut used to lead sales at Stratumn, a Nasdaq-backed company helping companies securing their shared workflows through cryptocurrencies. Théo built several decentralized applications before starting the company in 2018. Wallets are the cornerstone of the industry: you need them to store and transact with cryptocurrencies. But these wallets are not designed for business. You cannot perform simple business operations like running a payroll, paying vendors, or earning interest, which you can currently do from your modern business bank account. Cryptocurrencies - and particularly stablecoins - are a reliable, fast and cost-efficient medium of exchange. It’s a technology that enables anyone to move value and assets across borders, with no intermediaries. We believe it can help companies save a lot, since most of them are now actively transacting with partners abroad, from suppliers to foreign contractors. The number of companies building and transacting with cryptocurrencies is growing (e.g. Stateofthedapp listings grew by 250% since 2017), despite still being in its infancy. Most of these companies are operating in the cryptocurrency industry, or are e-merchants willing to reduce payment fees and optimize working capital. These companies struggle to manage their assets and make the most of them. They typically have between 5 and 10 wallets, none of them being designed for a business environment. This makes business spending and accounting still to painful and time-consuming. And cryptocurrencies sit idle, because there are just too many frictions. We realized what was really needed: an application to manage cryptocurrency the same as a modern online business bank account, with features and financial services powered by both crypto and traditional currencies. In short, a crypto-first bank. Here are our main features today: - Store - multi-user wallet with dashboard and transaction history - Pay - spending policies and streamlined payment flows (1) - Exchange - swap 70+ tokens with ethers, dollars and euros (2) - Earn - savings account yielding interest on stablecoins (3) - Soon: EUR and USD bank accounts We will make revenues through commissions on financial services like fiat ramps, and through monthly subscriptions for premium features like accounting exports or fiat accounts. Our goal of making a unified front end that works like a business bank account is challenging to achieve because the technologies we're using are very heterogenous: - we have two databases: the Ethereum blockchain and Cloud Firestore - we have two backends: smart contracts and Firebase Cloud functions - we have two authentication systems: private keys stored on individual wallets (we're self-custodian) and email addresses - we have two authorization systems: the multisignature contract owners and the owner/guest roles in our security rules - we have two type of assets: cryptogoods and traditional currencies - we will have two storages: IPFS and Firebase Storage You can read more here about our architecture (4) and our approach to security (5). Cryptocurrency is still a recent technology that generates understandable skepticism.The ICO craze did not help. We feel that payment is becoming a tangible use case though, and companies ranging from Facebook to JP Morgan are now actively investing in it. We believe more will join. There are still many uncertainties about regulations, accounting, and each new SEC or FinCEN guidance make the teams' hair turn grey. But things are moving forward on the ground, despite the excess of hype in the space. We want to make Multis useful, so we have one question: what would be the key features and financial services you would expect as a company? They don't have to be related to crypto directly. We'd also love your feedback, your questions and your ideas. Thanks! (1) https://ift.tt/33Hgh1U... (2) https://ift.tt/35FssOI... (3) https://ift.tt/33IWjUN... (4) https://ift.tt/2oPkUs7...
