Book recommendations via SMS
https://sundaybooks.org
Hey HN,

My aim with Sunday Books is to 1) recommend good nonfiction books via text message and 2) make those books available for quick purchase from the same text. Why SMS? It's quiet, calm, accessible, and you don't have to wade through newsletters, popups, ads, social rankings, endlessly scrolling cover photos, and thousands of mass-market reviews just to figure out if you might want to read a book.

I know there are a lot of people working on book discovery apps and alternatives to Goodreads, but none of that interests me as a reader. I don't need social features, public reading lists, suggestions from the algorithm, or digital bookshelves. I want recommendations I can trust from people with similar literary tastes, so that's what I'm working to build.

Quick details:

* You opt-in to receive texts, start your subscription via Stripe.

* We recommend a book twice a month via text message.

* At launch, we'll provide guidance on where to find the book. Soon, you can buy the book directly from us.

* No need to create an account, log in, or manage a cart to checkout.

* Text messaging available only in the US and Canada; shipping only in the US to start.

Current status:

* Sharing this publicly to see if it resonates. You can send an email (in my profile) to get on the waiting list.

* Learning about text message opt-in laws and deliverability gotchas, and figuring out which SMS tool to use.

* Rounding up people who have a similar literary taste to help write recommendations.

* Opening accounts with book wholesalers and publishers.

* Trying to sync subscription status from Stripe to Heymarket, though I'm at the edges of my technical know-how with the APIs. I'm currently using Zapier (god has it gone to shit) to sync subscription status to Heymarket contacts but would like to build something less clumsy, more robust.

Challenges:

The biggest challenge is the bookstore side of the business—it's a real hurdle and may not be practical, even if I sent orders to a large distributor, like Ingram. It's likely that I'll launch with recommendations only, provide ISBNs and sources for buying the book in the text message—no marketing or affiliate links. From there, I'll figure out next steps for the bookstore.

Note that the language on the website is still a work in progress, the recommendation that's on the site is just a copy/paste sample, but wanted to show what I'm going for. That section will scroll through previously recommended books once I've got them added.

I'll be ready to test and to start adding people to the list the week after next.

Your comments and suggestions are appreciated.
How to Host Hudson CI on AppCloud
http://www.engineyard.com/blog/2010/how-to-host-hudson-ci-on-appcloud/
Continuous Integration (CI) must be easy, easier to do, than not to. It should reduce the pain of development. However, for many developers and their companies, the idea of running a CI server garners a meek “yeah, I should, but…” or “we did have a CI server running but it died one day and no one fixed it.”

In this post I hope to convince you why you absolutely need a full time CI solution for your your team or company.

Show HN: FoodFreebie. Get/Sponsor free food for meetups, tech and other talks
https://foodfreebie.xyz
Hey all!

FoodFreebie connects those that want free food for tech meetups, usergroups, lunch & learns, hackathons and more -- with those wanting to sponsor the food. Sponsors can be anyone but are typically recruiters, startups, creators and others.

In exchange, sponsors have the opportunity to share a promo message at the event.

I'm a developer, and get tons of inbound request from recruiters.

Most dev friends tell me they experience the same. But, it seems to happen in my email/text in ways that always feels a little clumsy and cold.

Because free food is awesome, I'd more readily trade a few mins of attention to get hooked up.

I thought about andrew stuart's old freepizza board and figured there could be a way to help connect sponsors and hosts. It feels like a fun experiment.

I've prompted several recruiters & have seen some interest so I created a list of sponsors who are offering free food for tech talks, meetups, & hackathons.

If you'd like to be involved as a sponsor or organizer, drop your email at foodfreebie.xyz or email me at contact@foodfreebie.xyz

Ask HN: Who has experience with debian packaging?
Hey Everyone,

I maintain a debian/ubuntu application (www.trimage.org) that I would like to have included in the Debian repositories. It's been really hard to find information on the correct way to package an application, contact the right debian maintainers and finding a sponsor via mentors.debian.net (debian works in a way that as an application maintainer, you add your application to mentors.debian.net and then find a sponsor to upload your application into debian repositories; my application: http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=trimage).

There are probably some people here on HN that have already gone through this process and have their applications in Debian. Can you give me (and others) tips on how to approach this?

Cheers,
Kilian

Ask HN: How to tell whether a query is a subset of another
http://home.wangjianshuo.com/cn/20100505_ccceeieeaece.htm
Subject
Please write an algorithm to determine if a query expression is a subset of another.

a little bit more explaining:

Take the SQL statement, for example, if the query A is
age> 21
Query B is
age> 20

We know that the result of A is a subset of that of B. Those who meet the condition A will also satisfy B. I need an algorithm that given any two expressions will tell this relationship.

code example:
if ($ queryA-> isSubSet ($ queryB)) (echo ("A is subset of B");)

For simplicity, consider only simple AND, OR logical operations, greater than, equal to, less than comparisons.

This is one situation our less than 10 people technical team typically encountered . For example: to cope with more searches querying huge data that distributed in multiple cities on multiple servers. System administrators can use the data frequency and other patterns to set up several different databases (MySQL's, and Solr's). Thus, when a new item arrived, we can decide, which db to put it.

Then when a given query is a subset of another corresponding to a previously configured db, we can just check that one. This allows us to easily configure dozens of data sets, without changing a single line of code.

Ask HN: Suggested uses for product data
We recently developed code for a client which can automatically crawl and extract products from e-commerce sites.

We basically automatically get product names, descriptions, images and prices from pretty much any e-commerce site - to date we have crawled 50k sites to extract 15 million products.

Our client has their own uses for it but we have the licence to use the code as we like for our own purposes, so we're trying to figure out if there's any smart use for this data.

We have already ruled out:
- Price comparison : it's a crowded market and requires striking click through deals with individual retailers so there is no benefit to massive scale

Any suggestions on uses for this data would be most welcome!

Telepresence: A virtual reality business meeting

With Telepresence you can see the entire other side of the conference table, for example, and the people who are sitting across from you appear to be life sized. When another person speaks to you they can look you in the eye. Body language and emotions are easy to detect and the sound of each participant seems to come from his or her direction. You can watch the people who aren't talking to see if they are even paying attention. It really is tele-PRESENCE and the fact that you are looking in a video screen is forgotten after a minute or two.

We've crunched the numbers on three years of CPU pricing data to reveal an alarming trend. While AMD chips tend to get cheaper in the months following their release, Intel has been able to hold firm on pricing, particularly for chips that cost $200 and up. This trend is a byproduct of the unhealthy competitive landscape in the x86 processor market.
