Visa Launches PayPal Alternative
https://www.payclick.com.au/Home.aspx
That's pretty big news. Some healthy competition in this space will probably be benefitial.

Although if Amazon and Google didn't manage to dethrone Paypal in this space, I wonder how Visa will approach the challenge.
Anders Hejlsberg and Lars Bak: TypeScript, JavaScript, and Dart
http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Going+Deep/Anders-Hejlsberg-and-Lars-Bak-TypeScript-JavaScript-and-Dart
Lars Bak: To contrast these two languages, TypeScript is a safe bet... where Dart is trying to change some of the fundamental issues with JavaScript. I feel, from a computer science background, I still have problems that you can design applications with libraries where you can monkey patch the libraries when you get up running. I find that very, very disturbing when you are trying to write big applications. [with TypeScript] you end up in the same mess.

Anders Hejlsberg: Everything you say and more I will agree with. The question is not whether JavaScript is broken. The question is whether it is broken enough to merit being replaced by something else.
Engine Yard Programming Contest - Win an iPhone 3GS PLUS $2k in Cloud Credit
http://www.engineyard.com/blog/2009/programming-contest-win-iphone-3gs-2k-cloud-credit/
We’re kicking off a programming contest today that is sure to challenge even the most comp-sci heavy engineers out there, and we’re excited to see what you all come up with. With the difficulty of the challenge in mind, we’ve got some great prizes for the winner: an iPhone 3GS AND $2,000 of Cloud (Flex or Solo) credit.

You must tweet a sequence of twelve words that when hashed is bit-wise closest to a hash of a challenge phrase that we will announce the morning of July 20th. All words must be from a 1,000 word dictionary we will provide at that same time. You are allowed to append up to five random characters to the end of your entry. We’re pretty confident you’ll want to write a program to automate the finding of close matches, so announcing this a week in advance should give you enough time to get your programs up and running.

See the blog post for more details, rules and prizes!

Review my website: Cornify
http://www.cornify.com
Cornify is all about giving internet users choice of customization. MySpace is a great example of a successful company with a similar vision. Facebook with its Windows 3.1 look - not so much. Cornify provides a service that allows users to cover any website in a beautiful array of unicorn and rainbow imagery - taking back the web one 'corn at a time.

To give credit where credit is due, this concept was heavily inspired by AddThis.

Hire based on interest, not credentials
http://regardingwork.com/2011/05/13/hire-based-on-interest-not-credentials/
People tend to avoid costly errors rather than aim for finding the truth when making decisions. Applied to recruiting, employers might tend to avoid hiring someone based on their lack of credentials or previous experience, rather than aiming to find if the employee really wants to solve the problem the business is attacking.

I have known employees who exhibited both a disinterest in their company’s aim to solve a problem and a preference for developing their own skill. I have started to think broadly about the following alternative method to avoid ever hiring this sort of person.

The starting question was: how could you flip the current, common recruiting process to test for interest over credentials?
Your best passive income? (2015 Edition)

Ask HN: Any luck negotiating better terms for on-call?
(Throwaway account.) I work for a large software company on an on-call rotation that’s been getting more toilsome, and wondering if anyone has been in a similar place.

Like many SV companies, on-call isn’t compensated with the rationale that it’s part of your engineering duties. I buy this to some degree—someone does have to be keeping an eye on things—but it's complicated by sizable inequities across the org. _Most_ people have no on-call rotation, many others have a token rotation that’s ~never used, and only a handful of teams have rotations that are quite bad. Management has extricated themselves completely.

Things have been angling slowly worse. In a gambit to prioritize uptime over engineer time, we have more alarms, tighter tolerances, and a larger operation that generates more tail problems. Good for users, but not so good for us. Being able to sleep fully through the night is increasingly rare. There are some false positives, but most are not, and not easily fixed by more engineering.

Expected time to response has lowered to low single digits—theoretically, you should not be exercising or driving if you’re on. The scheme works because many engineers are in their 20s and willing to soak up pain like a sponge. Rotations tend to smaller over time as single people make backroom deals to get out, and new blood is added too slowly.

I’m not trying to get myself out, but want to effect some kind of change. IMO compensation or extra time off would be ideal—not only is it a nod to the cost of on-call, but it also make exchanging shifts easier by adding incentive beyond simple goodwill. The company could easily afford it, but probably doesn’t want to pay for what it can get for free.

I have frequent conversations with my manager and get token “yeah, we’re looking into it”s, but it’s obviously not a priority for anyone up the chain. Has anyone else been in a similar position? Are you paid? What did you do? Suck it up? Leave?

Launch HN: Vital (YC W20) – API for wearables and labs
https://tryvital.io/
Maitham here, we’re building an API for at-home health data (https://tryvital.io). We allow developers to easily connect to hundreds of wearable devices and deliver at-home lab tests to their users, with a few lines of code.

Health data from wearables and labs sit in various data sources, each requiring a different integration. Most with bad documentation and some even needing a partnership. Data collected from these sources play a crucial role in health monitoring. Our goal is to enable developers to build applications on top of it.

Having previously worked as an engineer at a telehealth company, I saw firsthand how hard it is to build and maintain integrations with labs, wearables and medical devices. I personally became a health enthusiast trying to fix my own problems after having over ten surgeries, suffering from IBS, and sleep apnea.

We’ve built an API that gives you access to over 300 devices directly through our SDKs or our API. We also expose a plaid-like widget to connect devices. For our lab test API, we have partnered with independent labs in the US and have a physician network covering all 50 states, allowing any company to order at-home functional tests. Our docs can be found here (https://docs.tryvital.io).

Our existing customers use our API to build apps to help allergy sufferers, wellness and fitness coaching, metabolic health support, and sleep optimisation. We have an API for individual developers and we charge based on the number of connected users and a platform fee for at-home lab tests. We open-source all our libraries and SDK’s, and hope by doing so we can both encourage more open data standards and alleviate privacy concerns.

One last thing! We know privacy is extremely important when it comes to health data, we anonymise all data by default and we use Evervault to encrypt the data, you can read more about it here https://docs.tryvital.io/welcome/privacy. We also have an upcoming feature to set auto-expiry on data, that allows companies to set a period that the data stays stored for.
