NASA may move up Hubble repair mission by 1 day
http://www.latimes.com/news/science/wire/sns-ap-us-shuttle-hubble,1,4284399.story
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA may move up its final trip to the Hubble Space Telescope by one day.

Space shuttle Atlantis could blast off with its telescope repair crew as early as May 11th, if the Hubble team can complete all its flight preparations in time. NASA wants to have extra time to get the mission off, before having to get in line behind the Air Force. A military operation planned for mid-May would delay the shuttle launch by more than a week.

Hubble program manager Preston Burch says he'll know better in a week if his team can make a launch on the 11th. Liftoff has been targeted for May 12th.

20 years before Eric Reis, there was Jeffry Timmons
Everyone seems to think that Eric Reis was the first person to suggest the process of rapid iteration to find product fit. Jeffry Timmons was lecturing business students about a dynamic process of trial and error to find product fit 20 years ago.

On-demand product demos and evaluation: Useful for startups at YCombinator?
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16347737/yComb.html
We released a new widget for our product that runs directly within a company's website, and allows their prospective customers to request a fully functional server image directly from the site.

It's a great sales tool, especially for complex applications that normally require large install files, database setup, complex configuration etc. and are therefore difficult to share with a prospective customer (think IBM or Oracle products).

To show our widget I took out 2 minutes to create a basic demo. Feel free to request a machine on this test site so you get an idea of exactly what we do:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16347737/yComb.html

(I have only set up an Alfresco ECM demo with the sample above, but essentially any windows/linux app would work here).

My question: Would this be useful for the startup you work for -- why or why not?

What is MVC?

Visited.org - Watch YouTube videos by keyword
http://visited.org
Hey guys,

I'm working on this project for a class here at UC Berkeley, and I'm wondering if you could provide some feedback.

Basically the idea behind it is that there isn't a very good way on YouTube to sit down a watch a bunch of miscellaneous videos that are all high quality and relevant to what you want.

For example, if I wanted to watch some funny videos while eating breakfast, YouTube's comedy channel isn't very appealing, and the rating system on YouTube is pretty meaningless.

We thought a better way would be to classify videos based on a single keyword that immediately comes to mind when you watch the video, whether it's "awesome!" or "funny" or "scary".

Then the rating process of each video revolves around that keyword, making the ratings much more relevant to what you want to watch.

Could you guys take a peek and let me know if you have any thoughts?

Your Help Urgently Needed to Save the Future of Human Spaceflight
I subscribe to the SpaceX newsletter and today I received this email that I thought I would share with other space-based industry enthusiasts:

--------------------------------------

If you care about the future of American space exploration, your urgent help is necessary. The only hope for the average citizen to one day travel to space is in danger due to the actions of certain members of Congress. SpaceX does not have the enormous lobbying power of the big government contractors to stop them, however with your help the day can still be saved.

NASA’s Authorization bill (H.R. 5781) will be debated on the floor of the US House of Representatives tomorrow. Despite the imminent retirement of the Space Shuttle, H.R. 5781 authorizes over five times as many taxpayer dollars to fly NASA astronauts on the Russian Soyuz than it invests in developing an American commercial alternative, moreover at a time when jobs are sorely needed in the United States. Quite simply, this bill represents the sort of senseless pork politics that has driven our national debt to the point where our economy can barely service it.

The bill is expected to be brought to the House floor this Friday under a special suspension of the rules, which is a procedure that limits debate and amendments.

Telephone your Congressional representative right away via the House Switchboard at (202) 225-3121 and ask them to vote NO on H.R. 5781, and instead support the bill unanimously agreed to in the Senate last week.

Your five minutes will make a critical difference, ensuring an exciting and inspiring future in space travel! SpaceX rarely asks you to take action, so you know it really matters when we do.

--Elon--

Look up your representative here: http://www.house.gov/zip/ZIP2Rep.html

Show HN: Threads – Automatically sync your email client with HubSpot
https://try.threads.cloud/threads-log-email/
Hi,
We've been creating an internal message hub for a number of years that aggregates all of our digital communications with customers in one place e.g. emails, phone calls as we couldn't find a CRM that didn't cost a fortune or require a lot of bespoke configuration. We also couldn't find a CRM that enabled us to search and find the stuff we needed when we wanted to it. However over time we have realised that our internal tech can be integrated with existing tools to automate a lot of the CRM data entry that people dread. So far we've focussed on integrating with HubSpot we know that one of the major bug bears for new HubSpot users is the inability to migrate their existing email data.
Our landing pages is pretty basic (https://try.threads.cloud/threads-log-email/)and we know the messaging needs a bit of work but any other thoughts would be welcome - especially from any HubSpot users out there.
