Netflix feels like a good value to me, but is it really? FeedFlix.com measures your Netflix activity and crunches the numbers for you. I'm actually paying $5/rental due to my habit of leaving disks laying around for weeks. Hmm.

Types of Risks VCs Take
http://getventure.typepad.com/markpeterdavis/2007/11/types-of-risks.html
Different VCs take different types of risks. When you are selecting which VC funds to target you should be sure to avoid funds that do not take risks that are still associated with your venture.

The risk categories essentially can be categorized according to the investment criteria that VCs consider. While there are many risks associated with any investment, I have included a short list of risks that typically distinguish one VC investor from another...

Ask HN: React for complicated applications
There're a lot of use of React in ordinary web apps, i.e. web apps which reuse existing widgets and components to create ui with lists, trees, tables and forms. However, what about such applications as:

* Graphics editors, i.e. something like photoshop
* Text editor, code editors, rich text editors, structured editors
* Spreadsheets, etc
* CAD systems

Is scene graph approach really scalable to these fields?

P.S. I heard that atom used react or something similar but later decided to drop it.

Why CES is Relevant to the Valley & Startups Once Again: Fluidware
http://blog.bytelight.com/post/72677134214/why-ces-is-relevant-to-the-valley-startups-once#.Us2d12RDvU4
While many CES goers and media outlets are championing this CES as the coming out party for the Internet of Things (and it is in a way), “fluidware” is the real force behind the breakout of the Internet of Things and the reemergence of startups at CES. More -> http://blog.bytelight.com/post/72677134214/why-ces-is-relevant-to-the-valley-startups-once#.Us2cN2RDvU4

Show HN: No more meeting minutes with GPT-3
https://spoke.app/share/48p2qwaoximb5tgf97ck1h6dsvr3yzeu?all
We recently plugged in GPT-3 to our software which can record / transcribe / search and share meetings. And the quality of the meeting minutes outputted is just baffling.

GPT-3 understands what a discussion revolves around - even if the subject matter is only mentionned once - and summarizes it really efficiently. It lays out the different topics and always puts forward the next steps.

Linked is a quick example on one of my conversations with a company in the Philippines.

An amusing bug was that if for whatever reason no to little transcription was outputted, GPT-3 would insult the participants (is it trained on Reddit??).

The danger would be if GPT-3 misinterprets something and this then gets into the formal decision process of a company. However I haven't seen it yet after 1 month of live production and a little more than a hundred of internal calls tried out on.

Check it out it's free to try out: https://cutt.ly/welcome_to_spoke :)

Web based energy monitoring tool & initiative
http://blog.galaxyweblinks.com/company-news/web-based-energy-monitoring-initiative-with-stanford/
It’s strange not to see many web based power monitoring tools available on the Internet today when we need them the most. With the increasing demand of energy, we are already in a crisis situation. And to tackle that problem, ChangeLabs – a design research lab of Stanford University has taken an initiative to reduce the energy consumption through education & incentivization.

Funded by Department of Energy’s ARPAe program, the lab hired our team to build only applications that provides unique interface to display of energy data & leverages sensor & communication technologies to achieve large-scale energy savings. Over last 1 year, we built 2 applications that are currently available on Facebook for the consumers to try. They began as iGoogle gadgets, but have been ported over to Facebook, where the user-base is larger and more varied.

Kidogo - aims to appeal to the empathetic side of a given individual while reframing their energy consumption to make it more meaningful. Turning off a light bulb might save an American a dollar or so a month but to someone in a developing country it might provide them with lifesaving medicine or seed. lt is trying leverage emotions to help users correlate electricity savings with saved money and donations.

Power Tower – A social game that converts your energy savings into blocks that you use to build tower and compete with friends by challenging them or join their challeng. A unique interface that promotes and incentivize large-scale power savings.

We at Galaxy Weblinks are so happy of being a part of this venture not only because our work will be used for the betterment of the society but also because the experience we have gained in working with such a creative and diligent team of researches from Stanford.
