Show HN: Plane Above Me
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/plane-above-me/id1637351605
Experimented with the new sound recognition SDK in iOS; to expand our toolbox to create cool experiences.

I have always been fascinated by aviation. When an aircraft flies above me, I often wonder: what kind of airplane is it? A 737 or Bombardier? Where is it flying towards? At what speed?

How?

The app uses iPhone’s mic to sense the presence of aircraft sounds. Once detected, it calls flight data APIs, reads out the flight details, show photos of that particular aircraft above you and its current flight path on a map.

Cheers.

New Firefox Alpha Shiretoko & new Safari vulnerability?

If I understand correctly there is a small chance that someone else can use your user account on a website hosted on a co.uk or co.ch domain IF the site you visited earlier has minimal security. If that worries you enough you might want to consider reading the article and then let us know if WE should switch to (a stable version of) Firefox too. Apparently Internet Explorer, Firefox and Konqueror plugged this hole 4 year ago.

Group-buying sites' valuations take a dive. 
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13846_3-20108554-62/group-buying-sites-valuations-take-a-dive-says-researcher/?tag=cnetRiver
Very interesting article but I don't agree on this sentence:

"While the technical barriers to entry in daily-deal business are low, and more companies are expected, scaling the business requires significant amounts of capital, which may prove harder to find."

As a counter-example the Adlibrium app has adapted Group-buying business model to mobile platforms making it "self-service" for merchants.

This approach may drastically cut the amount of capital needed to scale and most importantly the service is commission free, which means that Adlibrium offers much better economical conditions than Groupon & co. .

I think that the group-buying market is not saturated yet, but sooner than expected it will stabilize on Adlibrium approach, with obvious consequences for Groupon and clones.

Is it still a good idea to start a Groupon-like startup? Probably it is about time for innovation or simply for Adlibrium clones.
What you think?

Steve Jobs showing the first iPhone

And the second Steve starts demoing the device the crowd goes wild.

Made-in-China IT Products Emerge with Outstanding Capability
http://www.raqsoft.com/made-in-china-it-products-emerge-with-outstanding-capability.html?new=1
When searching “Made in China” on Google, there are 1.6 billion results. How big the number is! This indicates that made-in-China has become a global phenomenon. But even now, when many foreigners talk or mention a made-in-China product, the words that occur to them first maybe “cheap and low quality”. In IT industry which was dominated by foreign enterprises before, such view is particularly common. However, this perception is not applicable to all Chinese made products and Raqsoft is among those which break that mindset. How do you think of made-in-China products?

How Much Do Strippers Make With our New Android App?
http://www.stripandgrowrich.com/blog/2012/05/07/how-much-do-strippers-make-android-app/
I found this blog by accident (don't ask). There are some most insightful customer acquisition strategies here.

This is a site for the open-minded! One of the biggest take-aways is how important a strong USP is plus understanding your target market.

The most attractive women are not the ones that make the most in that business.

Similarly, as Steve Blank would echo, one can have the most superior technology imaginable. Nonetheless, start ups still typically fail because of customer risk (not understanding customers needs and problems) vs product risk (outside of biotech).

“I think that sexuality is only attractive when it’s natural and spontaneous.” – Marilyn Monroe
Our life does not always have to be planned. It is the spur-of-the-moment memories that we always remember, whether they were good or bad. Date Create is an online mobile application that will plan a date for you and your partner from start to finish. The idea ignited as a result of playing the classic “what do you want to do? No, what you do you want to do?” game.

First, select a date, time, and a budget before inviting a friend or a partner on a date.
Next, the Date Create algorithm will provide you options, free and paid,
where you and your partner will be able to swipe right to approve and swipe left to
decline on your individual devices, similar to the process in the mobile application Tinder.
Finally, we will provide you suggested packages from which you can approve and process your transaction.
Date Create is a simple tool which will create a memorable date for you and your partner within a few clicks.

A lot of people asked when Five/Three/One would be on Android when it made the front page a couple of weeks ago. That day has arrived!

I've already made $70 from IAP in the two initial weeks, which is more than I expected. My goal for now is to make a grand total of a grand, like I did with the iOS app (which is now making >$500/mo [0]).

Anyways, this is not the end of the journey. I'm starting work on another tiny project for now, but will work on an Apple Watch companion for Five/Three/One after that.

Hope you enjoy and get stronger!

Ask HN: How has Clojure web security developed in the last year?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBL59w7fXw4

This talk happened around a year ago - and seemed to ruffle some feathers at the time. In particular, the following summary and subsequent discussion on HN.

Summary article (original is now gone): http://news.jchk.net/article/6cf235a6629ad4bd4e2c68e5a1dd2a10c4e89cf4
HN Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7472841

I've been dabbling with clojurescript quite a lot lately, but have yet to delve deeply into server-side Ring based apps. Has anyone seen these issues been attacked in the last year in any way? Were they legitimate concerns to begin with? Looking for people with experience to comment.
Poll: What do you think of HN with votes-hidden?
I hate to beat a dead horse.<p>But...I, like many others it seems, am really not happy with the absence of up-votes on comments. I personally think a lack of high-quality comments and comments to comments has happened as a result, but some will disagree.<p>As an example, this is especially witnessed in comments whose replies often would get a HIGHER vote-count than the introductory comment. There's no way to highlight this now and I think that is being lost. The comments used to be the greatest thing about HN and I fear this being affected too much with these changes.<p>In my opinion, taking away vote counts is not (at present) fixing the quality of newer comments on HN.<p>Smarter people have debated this topic here
http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2477479 and http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2495137 , and it's clearly a topic of debate.<p>Just wanted to make a poll and take the community's opinion of the new changes. What do you think?
