"... He describes his career as following a "roadmap between a serial entrepreneur and investor". He's especially interested in micro investments such as those offered by US company Y Combinator: small packets of cash for very early start-ups in return for a stake in the business. The start-up's principals are also brought into Y Combinator for some intensive training in how to be a successful entrepreneur. Described by some as a sort of "Idol for geeks" where talents can be spotted, moulded and developed, Mr Leeb-du Toit believes there's merit in the approach, and is exploring whether something similar might work well in Australia. ..."

Elastic Search - Geodistance search in java
http://hashmade.fr/elastic-search-geo-distance-search-with-sorted-and-faceted-results-using-java-native-api/
In this article, we will see how to perform a GeoDistance search using Elastic Search, a distributed real-time search and analytics engine.

As an example, we will index cities with their gps coordinates, and find cities around a chosen one (Paris), using the built-in GeoDistance filter provided by the engine.

We will customize search results by reversing the order of the matching cities, the farthest ones being displayed first. Finally, we will use the GeoDistance facet to get statistics related to this search (number of cities, mean distance, etc.)
We will only use methods from the Java API.

Ask HN: When Is Science About Power?
For a longer exposition on the difficulties of demarcation problem outlined below: https://youtu.be/bQP-7xgo1uU

In the modern world, there’s a sense that there’s only one way to evaluate your perspective on the world - and that’s application of an empirical scientific method. Can you show it through a double blind controlled study? No? Well then you might be a pseudoscientific crank!

But then, over time, the narrative around the idea changes. Suddenly, there are articles about it in big newspapers and magazines. People are entertaining the perspective you’ve held all along! In some cases, the paradigm shift completely, and life continues on with the very idea that was dismissed as “unscientific” now becoming a well-accepeted - perhaps even beloved - addition to the canon of human understanding.

We were curious to understand how the pejorative language is used by some members of the scientific community to muddy the waters, especially as measurement and explanation became intertwined and then hopelessly confused during the technological revolution of the last century. Is there a place for such language in discourse about how we know the world, and if there is, where does the line lie?

Your DATA is skewed/screwed And so is mine. Avoid analytics train wreck.
http://www.leanstartupcircle.com/?place=topic%2Flean-startup-circle%2FGjNqPVCqORg%2Fdiscussion
You are probably measuring the final result as a conversion point like me. I measured a new sign-up/paying customer as a conversion point. Well, that was a DISASTER!

Our prospects email, call, or IM our company multiple times before purchasing. So its almost impossible to automatically track what keyword is getting the highest conversion rate for purchasing. Sure, we have rough ideas....but its not precise. We have been using adwords.

Instead we feel its a better idea to measure different conversion points i.e. call, email, or IM. This at-least gets us a lead to follow-up with. Now the problem is we dont know which conversion point should be the benchmark and measuring these conversions can be quite daunting.

At what point do we stop striving to make sure the analytics is 100% accurate? We probably could spend a ton of time and money to get this 100% accurate...but then the question is. Is it actually worth it if we are only spending a few hundred on adwords each month??? I doubt it!!!

I should be able to say that the keyword phrase <EXAMPLE KEYWORD> is getting us the most return for our cost. I should also be able to tell you 2nd, 3rd, and 4th best keywords/keyword phrases for PPC and SEO. But, right now we are fairly blind since we only see the CTR and how long they spend on our site which we can make assumptions...but its not validated.

PLEASE HELP me see the analytics light!?

Any ideas? Thanks so much!

Ask HN: Could big fashion help with the pandemic by promoting gloves?
Influencers too!!

"Gloves, Health, & Safety

While gloves were worn for modesty and to symbolize social status, there was another important reason that gloves were an essential accessory during the 1800s. Contagious diseases were rampant in Victorian society, and many feared catching a grave illness when they ventured into public. Gloves acted as a barrier between the outside world and the body. Upper-class women would frequently wash their hands and wear gloves to maintain a healthy lifestyle and reduce the spread of germs within their households."

Ask HN: What will a Facebook empire look like?
So there's been speculation about FB possibly going into search in the future- I feel a bit dubious about that, I don't quite understand what social search will look like- but I'm pretty sure that FB already is a nascent Google, in the sense that Google has its hands in everything. It does make sense- Google perfected search engines, at least for now, search engines are invaluable to navigating the internet, ergo Google mastered a large degree of the net experience.

Facebook, on the other hand, is coming in with a 'perfected' social network, the biggest in the world. So how will they use that to create an empire beyond social networking?

How to make AWS costs look low 
http://aws.amazon.com/tco-calculator/
I tried Amazon's TCO calculator for EC2, and the results for on-site costs seem absurd. One VM, with 4 GB of memory and 500 GB SAN storage, they estimate at $156,989.00 for three years on-site. That does not include labor. Co-location they estimate at $181,111.00. For one VM, for three years. That seems a bit high. I get that they are trying to make EC2 seem cheap in comparison, but the numbers seem laughable.

Money for Something
http://moneyforsomethingbook.com
Hey everybody, just wanted to let you know about a new ebook I've published. In a very short format, it teaches the fundamentals of investing.

Although there are many investing books on the market, I felt that almost all of them obscure the basic message that nearly everybody should be investing, with less-important complexities.

I run a technology company, and so this project was a bit off the beaten path, but I think the potential benefits are important, and that's why I decided to write it.

I hope you enjoy it.

Introducing the Portabee 3D Printer
http://portabee3dprinter.com
We have developed our own simple and minimal 3D printer, derived from a vast wealth of reprap heritage, and are trying to break into the market with some neat engineering and an attractive price point.

Enhancing some key aspects such as machine balance and axis stability gives us an edge of other existing kits. Most importantly, we have made our machine portable.

Our aim is to distribute a portable, efficient and robust 3D printer, capable of performing at the level of the industry standard for fused depositation (on par with ultimaker.com) for under 500 bucks.

You can view our machine at: portabee3dprinter.com

People instantly fall in love with the idea of 3d printing, and come up with a bunch of original things to do with the machines. We want to lower the barrier for entry and get more people involved.

We believe in our machine and our engineering and greatly desire that 3D printing be present in more homes. So we are taking our shot at moulding the future.
Ask HN: Is it okay for web hosting provider to have my Hosting UserId and Pwd
Hi,
I purchased domain and hosting service from HostGator.in under Google's India Goes Online scheme. Mind you, it's in collaboration with google. I had some technical issues. Forget that the customer rep had no technical knowledge and she was absolutely arrogant, she at one point said this: "I have access to your cpanel. I'm using the userid and password and can login fine". I was shocked to know this! How do anyone has access to information as sensitive as this? On asking her to transfer call to her manager, she kept me on hold and left me hanging. But that's for another time. HostGator is pretty well known here and they have such kind of security measures. Is this commonplace?
