Microsoft decides IE 10 has had its fun: Termination set for Jan 2020

Ask HN: Are there any “online” lawyer services?

Throwaway account for obvious reasons. I will not go into details, but I am personally facing some legal charges in Santa Clara county. I am not staying in the U.S. but I need to find a lawyer to represent me there. Do you have any lawyer firm you could recommend? Extra points if they provide an "online" service where the case can be discussed electronically, as phone calls are a hassle due to the time zone differences. And preferably be able to pay using regular credit card, I guess hourly for initial consultation.

Ask HN: Is it just me, or is CSS too damn hard?

I've worked with anything from Assembly, C, Rust all the way to Python, Erlang, Elixir, PHP, Haskell, Lisp, Clojure. When it comes to frontend, I have used React, Vue.js, ReasonML, Clojurescript and Elm extensively, and I know my way around web technologies in general. However, ever since I first started programming, I was NEVER able to get the gist behind CSS. I can't center my divs properly. I can't say "hey, CSS, this is the parent div, and all child divs must obey its size". I can't do anything basic on CSS without turning for help.
