Didier Grossemy says; Are you talking to mum?
http://grossemy.typepad.com/
Didier Grossemy says. Some of the major brands have educated children to their products from the very young age, and I don’t think I need to give you any examples of those brands.

They know very well that parents will have no choice but to comply with their wants and later the same children becoming parents will do exactly the same. Yeah! Very smart and we all fall for it.

Today the digital age is not any longer just driven from children looking at games or business people searching the next opportunity but from mums around the world.

Time poor, they are the prime consumers on the internet, as we know mums are “Jack of all trade”; taking the children to schools, buying and preparing food, going to work, looking after her hubby, clothe ironing, cleaning and … should I go any further to say that women these days are overly busy. So this brings me to what I have preached for fifteen years, the Internet not only save you money and save the trees but revolutionise your time management.

Ask HN: Should I study an MsC in Quantum Technology?
I know it's ultimately a complex personal choice but I was wondering if anyone had any advice or knowledge on this topic.

Background: I'm 29, had one successful start up behind me. Financially safe enough to do a masters but not to 'retire'. Degree in physics and philosophy from decent university. Studied some quantum there. This is all in the UK and the masters would cost around 10-15k sterling. My earning potential is anywhere from 40k to 90k depending on what I can land.

Current situation: I've just had my most recent business 'fail' and I'm very conscious that I don't have any kind of trade or specialisation. I'm not nearly as employable as the developers that worked on my team. I have a long career in front of me and I'm just quite conscious of that. I enjoyed my degree but did find it hard.

Why Quantum Tech? Two reasons: one, I have a degree in physics so can get on the course and two, I understand that it's a technology which is going to come to prominence in the coming two decades. I figure it would be good to be on that train. Also, it is dead interesting.

I suppose my key questions are

1. Is Quantum Computing really 'going somewhere'?

2. Do they need to hire people who have masters in quantum technology? Will I need a PhD?

3. Do you have any other suggestions for what a decently successful non developer could do after a start up?

4. What is quantum computing being applied to? If anything.

Thanks

Ask HN: Is there any reasons some people seems to hate Jason Calacanis?
Since a couple of months now, some peoples keep bullying on Jason Calacanis, writing a bunch of post (probably good for traffic and linkbait), and asking Google and Matt Cutts to ban him. I don't personally know him, but I know he's a great entrepreneur, and I've also read one or 2 of his emails from Techcrunch, and they were really valuable, so maybe I'm missing something, but why is it that, some peoples seems to hate him, they take time to review mahalo, and point to "spammy stuff" (I mean Google obviuously know about mahalo and all the stuff he does), that's good at some point, but those Jason calacanis post keep coming: Jason is doing black hat SEo, Jason is doing this, Jason lied about facebook account, Jason this Jason that.... Are peoples just jealous of his success? I mean, I don't know the Guy, but it's not like peoples can't do anything valuable with their time to go and review Mahalo, and make an SEO analysis of his stuff, so I'll suggest to ban any Jason Calacanis complain from HN in the future, as I also suspect some of those Post are just a linkbait strategy, but of course I could be wrong.

Ask HN: How to find a niche? Do you think being a generalist is not good?
I was thinking of starting a mailing list but I just can't figure out what will be my niche.

Can I just start a list and write about general things that interests me? I suppose it'll be hard to grow that way.

what's your advice?

Tell HN: Conservatives on Net Neutrality
I’ve been doing a lot of traveling over the holiday and it’s given me some time to catch up on my podcasts. Most are talk radio hosts (from both sides of the aisle). Today I listened to this conversation between Conservative talk host Dennis Prager (dennis@pragerradio.com) and WSJ author John Fund. After hearing it I thought everyone here should as well.

I’m not a liberal trying to score a cheap shot (my Libertarian politics are actually much closer to the right on things involving business and free markets). The purpose of this is to show Conservatives aren’t mean or evil on this topic they’re just misinformed (and perhaps a little out of their depth).

Show HN: my weekend project workplac.es
http://workplac.es
A few days ago with a few of my mates I launched a new project called workplac.es

There has been many times in the past where I would start working at a new company to find out that the person recruiting me deliberately misled me
during the interviewing process and that the job or workplace was not as expected.

With that in mind we have created http://workplac.es that let you you rate and review companies anonymously.
You sign up using your Linkedin account to prove that you worked at and can genuinley review a given company. We don't post anything on the behalf of the user.
Would love to get some feedback

What do you guys think of the idea and the website?

Ask HN: How to find a part-time programming job?
I'm currently looking for a new job. Right now I work full-time in an office, and I'm hating the lack of time I have.
I can afford my expenses with a part time job since I split my rent with another engineer. I'd love to have some more free time to work on some side projects to eventually run my own business, and really just to de-stress.

I'm a game developer, and I've only worked here for a year and a half, but I look like I've aged 5 years since I started here.

So anyone have any recommendations on how to find a part-time engineering job? Remote is preferable but I've never worked remote before so I know that might be hard to find for myself.

I can't seem to find many jobs online that I'd like to work for...would be great to have benefits too, but I know that's rare for part time employees in the US.

(I am in the US by the way)

Show HN: I created a website builder for audio/video creators
https://podcastpage.io
Hey HN,
Over the past 3 years, I've been building Podcastpage.io, a full website platform for podcasters and audio/video creators.

I've seen many website popular solutions over the years, and those are really great generally (Webflow/Squarespace/Wix/WordPress) but are also very broad/generic. This makes it a little more complex to use, and also these lack support for niche use-cases.

When you need more flexibility and automations around media, it simply gets too complicated. Imaging syncing a podcast or YouTube channel with 1,000's of episodes to an existing website (with their own page URLs), and making sure all future episodes are going to be imported too. Then, setting up an audio/video player could be a challenge, and you'll end up spending more time and money with a generic website platform.

That's why I decided to build Podcastpage - It's laser-focused on helping podcasters and creators with their projects, and establish their online presence via a proper website.

Being focused on one niche doesn't mean the product is necessarily limited or very basic (a-la LinkTree). I've worked hard to ensure the user gets full flexibility when building the site (by using a drag & drop page editor) and at the same time, make their experience flawless and easy.

If you have a podcast / YouTube channel, give Podcastpage a try - you won't regret it.

Let me know if you have any feedback or questions!

Phishing for domain name accounts
http://securityskeptic.typepad.com/the-security-skeptic/2011/07/phishing-for-domain-name-accounts.html
The article explains that phish campaigns don't only target online bank or e-merchant customers.

FTA: A lesser known campaign targets individuals and companies who've registered domain names. This sort of phishing is like diving for seawater pearls. In this analogy, the oyster is a domain name registration account, the oyster meat is the registration record. The real prize, the pearl, is the name server configuration for a domain name.

Show HN: I'm using Midjourney to create reward images for my word game Xordle
https://blog.keldor.org/2022/08/using-midjourney-to-create-reward.html
I'm using Midjourney to solve a game design issue I had with my Wordle variant, Xordle, where it was fun to have themed puzzles but the themes tended to either be too hard to notice even after the puzzle was completed (missed opportunity for a fun moment for most players), or too easy to notice before the puzzle was completed (giving away the answer). It requires a little effort to generate prompts, but not too much; definitely worth it in this case as I can now do themes that are pretty vague and are revealed by the image, or connect totally un-themed words together to still get the fun moment at the end of the puzzle. This post talks about what lead to this feature and has example output.
