Primo: A configurable default Rails stack using application templates
https://github.com/cbetta/primo/
Rails application templates are awesome, especially for hackers that often need to set up the same basic app, but also for companies that want to promote their best practices. Sadly the ecosystem around them seems to be quite limited. Primo is a new gem that tries to solve this by adding a command line interface for defining your default template and share it with others.

At the moment Primo allows you to run a Rails install with a template based on PostgreSQL/HAML/Rspec. It also allows you to specify your own default template in a .primo file.

Inspired by Steve Klabnik's article "Rails has Two Default Stacks" and the awesome Rails application templates.

Ask HN: Are there any HN mashups?
A lot of precious jewels lie buried deep inside HN. A few tools like like Search YC, Ask HN, Hacker Monthly exist to bring that to the surface.

What other existing tools can you think of?

Are HN archives available anywhere for HN enthusiasts/arc hackers to slice and dice?

If someone wanted to create such tools, is it generally encouraged or discouraged?

Is there some particular tool you wished, was available to surface the content of HN?

Has PG ever discouraged or prevented HNers from creating such tools?

Review my project, simple, low cost WW conference calls
http://www.confstar.com
Been following HN for a long time but never posted.
ConfStar.com is a side project born out of scratching our own itch. As a small software consultancy we needed a simple and low cost way to make telephone conferences with our customers but couldn't find one. Either they were too expansive per minute, or didn’t have WW access numbers.
Focus is on creating a very simple UI with minimal clicks and functionality. Do one thing and do it well.
Also enables quick join via iphone / other mobiles. And downloading an outlook invitation.

Thank you for your time.

Wearable Technology I Can Get Behind
https://ringly.com/
I have had a hard time understanding why Samsung and Apple are spending so much time and money on smart watches. Most millennials have grown up using a smartphone to tell time, rather than wearing a watch. I am pretty sure that I will never wear a watch again.

Ringly, however, is a product that I absolutely had to buy right away. A subtle, yet fashionable, way to know if you have a text, call, or appointment without having your phone out on the table or bar.

No, it won't send an email or read a text, but I have a phone for that.
European science cloud to aid search for Higgs boson
http://news.techworld.com/virtualisation/3341459/european-science-cloud-launched-aid-search-for-higgs-boson/
"A new European cloud computing platform has been launched, with the support of 18 companies and research organisations, to support scientific research and accelerate the search for the elusive “God particle” known as Higgs boson.

The initiative is called “Helix Nebula – the Science Cloud”, after the large planetary nebula sometimes referred to as the Eye of God. As well as being used in the search for Higgs Boson, it will also support genomic analysis in biomedical research and research of natural disasters.

By demonstrating how cloud computing can help solve some of society's biggest challenges, the consortium hopes to ignite the European market for cloud computing services, and open the way for public organisations to profit from commercial cloud services."

Huffington’s Plunder
http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/huffingtons_plunder_20110221/
"The highly successful site, like most Internet sites, is largely pirated from other sources, especially traditional news organizations, or is the product of unpaid writers who are rechristened 'citizen journalists.' It is driven by the celebrity gossip that dominates cheap tabloids, with one or two stories that come from The New York Times or one of the wire services to give it a veneer of journalistic integrity. Hollywood celebrities, or at least their publicists, write windy and vapid commentaries. And this, I fear, is what news is going to look like in the future."

Servernope - 1st Cloud Functions Marketplace
https://servernope.com

Hi guys! As developers, I and my co-founder believe in the creative power of our community.

We believe developers will solve most of the next big challenges that are still to come. However, we find difficult for a developer with a great idea, to deploy, distribute, and monetize his or her work. There are so many things to think like hosting, distribution, scaling, marketing, monetization and so on. The worst part: It costs real money!

With that in mind, we created Servernope, a Cloud Functions Marketplace that lets developers create, deploy, host and sell Cloud Functions using their favorite programming language with no server costs (actually, no costs at all =] ).

We would love to have your feedback!

Accountable Algorithms
https://freedom-to-tinker.com/blog/felten/accountable-algorithms/
...Here, an accountable algorithm would require the authorities to commit to a specific searchlist, but without telling the public what it was. Then the accountability mechanism would ensure that, if you were selected because you were allegedly on the searchlist, you could verify that the searchlist to which the authorities committed did indeed contain your name–but you could not learn anything more about the contents of the searchlist. This kind of accountability is possible, using cryptographic methods...

Ask HN: What happens if you have a convertible note and are acquired?
If I have a $500k convertible note and then raise VC later it's easy: the note converts to shares at a discount.

But what if I sell before before the note has converted t shares? It wouldn't make sense to treat the acquisition price as "financing", so what typically happens?

What if the company is highly profitable and never raises more money and never gets acquired?
Ask HN: Better resources to learn about red-black tree
I've been studying red-black tree from the Introduction to Algorithms book by Cormen and others. I might get flamed for this but I believe certain things in that chapter don't really teach the 'why' behind the concepts and even if they do, they stretch into long paragraphs of text which becomes difficult to follow from the diagrams that are like 2 pages back. For eg. the deletion procedure seems quite convoluted to me and the section on it doesn't really explain the logic behind arriving at the given sequence of rotations.

So, please help me out.
