Living in San Francisco on a Dime -- its totally possible
http://www.girlsguidetosanfrancisco.com/2012/02/girls-guide-life-enjoying-sf-on-dime.html
Interesting data to back what the right amount to spend on groceries is. I always wonder whether I'm spending too much on groceries and this post definitely sheds light.

It's amazing how incorporating simple habits and being disciplined about it can go a long ways.

It's easy to get carried away by eating at restaurants for lunch and dinner everyday. Saving that money in the bank, though, feels that much more liberating; to save to start the company you've always wanted or live for experiences!

Show HN: Jsonnet Training
https://www.yvesdennels.com/posts/jsonnet-training-intro-available-for-feedback/
Hi HN!
I'm usually a lurker, but I thought I'd share the first video of an online Jsonnet training I'm working on to get your feedback. It is the introduction to the training showing why Jsonnet is interesting and why you should probably have it in your toolbox.
The link of this Show HN is a blog post embedding the video. If the blog is down, you can access the video directly on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8kFrUOpO7s

I plan to make the whole training available on Udemy, but if you have advices regarding this, I'm also interested.

Thanks in advance for your constructive feedback as it is my first foray in online training and even online content production. For the curious, I created the content with OBS and edited it with Kdenlive.

Ask HN: Transparent way to transfer and show all app payments go to charity
I'm thinking of creating an app (a game) for which I want all payments to go directly to a charity.

I also want this to be transparent as much as possible to users, e.g. maybe through a third-party page (i.e., not maintained by me) that shows the actual total amount gathered from payments and directed to the charity.

I want users to be sure their money goes directly where it's supposed to.

Is there an (easy) way to do it?

Greetings from Greece, celebrating 200 years of independence.

Ask HN: How we improve conversion in virtual tours service
Hi there, enterpreneurs! I need your tips and feedback regarding my project.
I have a service which gives people who can’t visit other countries a chance to see distant collections of rare cars, national car museums and private car collections. We launched 360CarMuseum website a month ago, It took us about 1,5 year to create the website and add more than 30 technical collections from different parts of the world. You may be already acquainted with this technology as it’s used by Google to create virtual tours on world museums. You may also try it yourself to get a full picture. Walking in Arabic Al Ain Classic Car Museum from UAE will be a good example of our work(https://360carmuseum.com/ru/museum/36).
Now let's get to the core - 360CarMuseum has been opened for a month and we have quite pitty sales of tickets to virtual tours, however we have got a lot of positive feedbacks from many users and occasional visitors who tried free virtual tours. Please, help us figure out what's the problem about the coversion?
Our suggestions:
1. Most people are not ready to pay for such kind of service/entertainment.
2. Prices for tickets to virtual tours are high ($2-4). What price would be good for you?
3. People don't know about the museums we sell, we should advertise the museums and let people know what they can see inside (more articles, interesting facts etc.)
4. The culture of paying for Web service is low in our region (East Europe). However we launched an advertisement in UAE and Emirates don't even want to register.
It's vital for us to solve the issue as we know that people love our service (not enough if they don't want to pay?) but we can't expand without fundings.
Hope to see feedbacks from experienced people.
Best Regards.

Ask HN: Where to take it next? Flight tracking side project
http://flightlite.com
http://flightlite.com

Flightlite is a visual flight tracker combining 3D and overhead views and flight information.

It is my first launch since I started reading Hacker News and was developed as a side project for the past 6 months or so. I made the final push on it this morning to get it to a semi-launchable state.

- The best coverage is US and UK
- Sometimes the data I get is a bit crazy, I've spent a lot of time working on ways to automatically correct it/sanitise but it's not perfect
- Doesn't work in IE 64bit due to Google Earth not being available on that platform

As a commercial aviation enthusiast I found other flight trackers to be a bit lacking. Their route visualisations weren't very exciting and the maps tended to be boxed into a small portion of the total page area.

I'm now trying to work out how to take this further, if there is anywhere to take it that is!

The data feeds are paid for per transaction and I can't subsidise that out of my own pocket for any serious level of traffic. I'm also concerned that classic CPC advertising won't cover the costs of the data, hosting, and bandwidth to run the site.

So i'm wondering about the possibility of either co-branding with a sponsor or selling unit space for specific routes (think of Air New Zealand branding on the pages when people are tracking any of their flights for example).

Does anyone have any ideas or ties into the relevant industries that thinks this could be a goer in some way?

My ideal situation is that it produces enough money to cover its costs and justify me continuing to developing it by adding more/better data feeds and extending the feature set.

Apple's Strategy is to Partner with Leaders
http://fishtrain.com/2007/12/17/apples-strategy-is-to-partner-with-leaders/
People seem to think Apple is a big, risk-taking company. That is true, but the risks they take are calculated ones. The switch from IBM PowerPC to Intel x86 chips was a big risk at the time -- given the possibility of alienating Apple's customer base. The risks to branch out their product line from the Macintosh to the iPod, iPhone, and AppleTV were big changes. But even though these were game-changers, they still fit within Apple's core competencies. So, while Apple takes some big risks in some areas it is also conservative in others.

Someone should make a platform independent message search tool
http://www.techzim.co.zw/2013/01/someone-should-make-a-platform-independent-message-search-tool/
I’m as excited about the potential of Facebook’s Graph Search as I’m sure most people are, so I’ve signed up and await my turn in the queue. And like most people, even with its blatant bias, I hoped Google’s Search plus your World would result in better overall search results. With focus being on developing and improving these platform dependent search tools, I find one of my most immediate search needs remains unmet; that to just search stuff that’s been shared with me, privately or not, across the all these fragmented internet and mobile networks.

Two proposals for browsers - it's about time
I've been reading a bunch of stuff on HN about user privacy, etc. and trying to build something myself which lets the user feel secure and in control, but current web technology doesn't let me do it. So I wanted to propose two things on here, and maybe someone here would run with the idea.

1) I propose a simple mechanism to guarantee that a resource located at a certain URL is always the same. Similar to how we have https:// blabla, and the user agent warns us if the server's certificate is not trusted, we should have httpc:// blabla to indicate constant resources. Sites all over the world can download resources from httpc:// urls and store hashes to them in various formats, and your user agent can trust one or more of these authorities. When downloading, it would compare the hashes against the ones downloaded from these authorities, and if there is even a small deviation, it would give you a warning just like https://

I can see this being used in app stores for the web (curating apps and various versions of apps, like Apple does) and also for secure logins. I would like someone to make guarantees that my password is not being sent in the clear to the server that I am connected to. Right now, the web forces us to trust a remote server completely, when interacting with a website. For example, when I enter a password, I have no assurance that the server won't misuse it. (See http://xkcd.com/792/)

This simple change would make possible a variety of applications that we haven't even thought of, besides these two.

2) The second proposal is to have iframes that are on top of everything else in the containing window, no matter what. That would enable 3rd party logins (such as OAuth) do be done in the iframe, without worrying about clickjacking. The javascript inside the iframe should have a way of checking whether the iframe is of this type. At most one such iframe can be shown in any given window.

This would lead to much more pleasant interfaces, and once again, the user would receive the extra protection. Of course, this means that Flash and other plugins would have to play nice with this. We could implement this rather easily with a browser extension that causes a borderless window to appear (like Flash does) above the actual browser window.

Thoughts?
