Show HN: Created a high protein recipes directory for Fitness
https://quickhighprotein.com
Hi HN,

For the last couple of weeks, I'm developing this website called https://quickhighprotein.com

Because I like fitness, I thought it would be a fun project to create a high-protein recipes directory website. Where we can find easy-to-cook high protein recipes, which take less than 15mins.

On this website, people can save vegan, snacks, veg, and non-veg recipes. It's a community-based project. It will be very helpful to newcomers in the fitness industry just like me to find easy and simple protein-based recipes.

I just need some feedback about this. And, if you guys add some high protein recipes, that would be very helpful. Also, i have more features to add but, I'll do it later. If people like this idea.

Hopefully, It will help everyone across the world.

Waiting for your kind feedback. And, thanks in advance.

Ask HN: Java ecosystem overview for experienced programmers?
Seems like a strange question to ask, but ... I've worked with C++ (with bouts of Python and Go) most of my life, and am part of a "mostly Java" tech stack right now. Given that I'd never used IntelliJ before, and never knew what 'Maven' was, I'm ... reasonably productive, but how can I "ramp myself up better" ?

There is obviously reams of beginner texts, and useful performance-oriented texts, but is there any sort of "general ecosystem" guide? (best practices around packaging, tooling, that sort of thing?)

A note while I'm here: I was surprised to find that Java today is totally different from when I formed my first (late 90s, as 'applets'), second (early 2000s, part of some university projects) and third (mid 2000s, TAing, more projects) impressions of it, and is actually (JVM for sure, but also increasingly the Java language itself) much more expressive, introspection-friendly, and productive than I thought.

Google suspended an android app with 2 million downloads, CraigsNotifica.
http://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/craigsnotifica
On January 20 of 2011, Google have suspended the application CraigsNotifica to be available in the android market.<p>The developer has family to support and is affraid that this email could end with 2 years of hard work.<p>Google have sent this letter to the developer:
<i>
Your Android Market
Publisher and Google Checkout accounts have been suspended due to
violations of our Terms of Service. You may view these terms here:<p>http://www.android.com/us/developer-distribution-agreement.html
http://www.android.com/market/terms/developer-content-policy.html<p>Please note that Android Market Publisher suspensions are associated with
developers, and may span multiple accounts.<p>We will not be restoring your account at this time.
</i><p>Many are the reasons why they can effectively disable the app, but the fact is that the app is good and the developer is willing to do anything to have it back online. We really think that Google will make the right thing and in the meanwhile this pettition will be available to reinforce how much we like the app.<p>An email will be sent to those who signed the petition, with the final result. This email will be sent when google respond to the developer's emails.<p>You can follow the progress through http://twitter.com/craigsnotifica<p>For direct contact, the developer email is craigsnotifica@mufumbo.com

The Scientist - bringing scientific news on the go to your iPhone
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-scientist/id657192313?l=en&mt=8
Hi guys,

We developed an app for the iPhone (we named it "The Scientist"). Our aim was to create a crowdsourced scientific news reader, a daily reference of the science world, providing the best reading experience possible. The app continuously presents to users the most shared articles in a simple and accessible way to anyone that wants to be informed about the latest discoveries in the science world.

It's free to download on the app store - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-scientist/id657192313?l=en&mt=8

We would love some feedback from you please, that would allow us to improve the app further in future releases.

My best friend and I disliked our jobs and wanted a non-awkward way to reach out to people whose work interested us. We finally quit our jobs, moved into bunkbeds (http://instagram.com/p/WOPgf-rcFB/), and learned to code in order to build a community of people open to meeting strangers whose work interests them, over coffee. We're now talking to companies who will be featuring their employees as "ambassadors" offering coffee meetings ("treatings") to individuals interested in working at their company.

Startup Idea: Instantaneous online group chat

What type of Internet connection for a shared office in NYC
We will be moving into a shared office that is being built out soon in New York City. The office provider is building out a new floor and they have asked us what type of internet connection setup we would prefer. I am not a networking guy so I don't know best practices.

There will be about 80 people in 8-12 private offices on this floor.

Mostly tech companies.

I don't think people want to host sites from this location.

What type/types of service would you recommend (t1/t3/oc3/ Metro cat5)?

How would you handle redundancy?

Is it reasonable for each office to get their own Time Warner connection in addition to the building provided connection?

How much should this cost, monthly/capital expenditure?
