My Podcast Notes Experiment
http://pearcaster.blogspot.ca/
I've recently started a little project and a friend suggested I share it and my future findings here.
The product is a blog that provides enriched (ie. provides context and purchasing/streaming/reading links) shownotes for arts and culture podcasts. For example if NPR's All Songs Considered does a SXSW episode you'll find a post on Pearcaster for each album/artist they had a serious discussion about with an embedded Bandcamp/Rdio player and links to Amazon/iTunes for anyone who wanted to buy it.
There are a ton of reasons why this might never get off the ground but I'm thinking of it as a learning experience as much as anything else.
My main hypothesis is this - people will value enriched shownotes that are centralized.
Podcasts do an amazing job of curating and recommending content but when I hear of something great I seldom follow up on it unless I'm reminded by another source later on and at a time when I'm at my computer. I think there's room for a product that builds a better bridge between the pitch and the product.

Ask HN: How to gain traction on a beta product
Hey Hackers, I have a beta product that I've been working on. It's a location based discussion application, so anyone within 2km of each other can post and discuss topics. I thought it would be really helpful during Covid since people are pretty lonely and it'd be nice to see what other people in the area are up to. I tried posting about it, but I'm not really sure how to generate user interest in a product like this and would really appreciate some help. Thanks a bunch for any advice :)

http://synapticpaint.com/dreambooth/info/
I've been working on https://synapticpaint.com/ to make content creation easier and more accessible to people. As part of this, I've been building a DreamBooth ecosystem around the following features:

- train: easily train DreamBooth models with no set up, just upload photos and go

- use (generate): immediately use the models with one of the other Synaptic apps (Txt2Img or Synaptic Paint), or download the model for offline use

- share: optionally publish your model so that other people can use it (DreamBooth models can handle not just people but also styles or objects)

- discovery: browse existing DreamBooth models

- remix: combine different models together (not implemented yet)

There is a waitlist right now because I'm having trouble increasing my AWS limits, but if you're interested in playing with the technology email me (email in profile) and I'll send you an invite.

The "Easy Installer" from Joomlatag
http://www.joomlatag.com
The Easy Installer from Joomlatag is a “Point and Click” component that allows you to install and manage add-ons and templates on your Joomla site.
It comes with over 4000 thousand add-ons and templates. To install any of the thousands of add-ons and templates all you have to do t is a simple click and install. Gone are the days of searching the internet for Joomla add-ons and templates and the hassle of registering on every site before you can download and install components.

One of the most important components missing in Joomla is the ability to install components and templates directly without searching all over Internet to manually locate and install the components you need. With the Easy Installer, you will never have to spend time searching for component again. All you have to do is install a copy of the Easy Installer and update the add-on list from our server and you are ready to start installing and managing your Joomla site. You can search by name or by a keyword or simple browse the add-on list to locate what you want to install. Once you find what you are looking for just select it and click on install.

This component will also let you see if the add-ons installed on your system are older than the latest versions. If they are, you will have the option to update the add-ons already installed with the latest versions. Again, this is done by one or two simple clicks per add-on.

Main Features:

· It is simple to use that even a child can now install and manage Joomla components
· From one Joomla component you get access to thousands of Joomla components, modules, plug-ins and templates.
· Searching the database will provide you with a list of all components, modules and plug-ins for your particular search result. This way you can install add-ons with more than one component and modules.
· All add-ons are fully tested and verified to work on Joomla 1.5
· The available add-ons are constantly updated to provide you with the current and stable versions.
· See which add-ons and templates are installed on your server and use Joomlatag to manage them.
· Easily uninstall older add-ons and install the newer version.
· You can easily install the most used Joomla add-ons by selecting on recommended add-ons. This will provide you a list of our recommendation which you can then choose to install.
· It comes with a lifetime continuous upgrade and update of all available Joomla components, modules, plug-ins and templates.

For more information, email us at info@joomlatag.com or visit us at http://www.joomlatag.com.

Non-embryonic stem cells developed from skin cells
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/30/AR2010093003211.html?hpid=topnews
"Scientists reported Thursday they had developed a technique that can quickly create safe alternatives to human embryonic stem cells, a major advance toward developing a less controversial approach for treating for a host of medical problems.

The researchers published a series of experiments showing they can use laboratory-made versions of naturally occurring biological signals to quickly convert ordinary skin cells into cells that appear virtually identical to embryonic stem cells. Moreover, the same strategy can then coax those cells to morph into specific tissues that would be a perfect match for transplantation into patients."

Sharing Your Executive Summary With Anonymous VCs

A VC may offer to send your executive summary to one or more investors. If they do they will often ask for your permission before doing so. Feel free to say 'no' if you feel compelled. However, you should consider saying 'yes', as a referral from another VC is usually well received.

When giving permission to forward their executive summary, it's common for entrepreneurs to...

Advantages of an East Coast startup, Part 1
http://blog.mypunchbowl.com/2007/08/10/advantages-of-an-east-coast-startup-part-1/
Much has been written recently about the differences between the entrepreneurial environment on the East Coast (Boston/New York etc) versus the West Coast (Silicon Valley). I've lived on both coasts, and worked in the tech industry on both coasts. And now I'm starting a company here in Boston. I think that gives me enough knowledge to write some intelligent things on the subject.

Ask HN: Why is it wrong to steal? 
I have been wondering / struggling with this for a while now. I more often than not have enough for myself, and any dependents, however I find myself stealing from X, (X = shops, mom and pop store, chain stores, offices, friends' houses). The things that I pick up are more often than not objects that catch my fancy for a while, and sometimes it is just to feed the rush to steal something. I understand that it is not socially accepted behavior, and there are various religious/moral arguments against this. I got suspended from my high school for something similar, and went in for counseling. I have been diagnosed with Kleptomania, and talked with the lady more about it, but she wasn't able to give a definitive answer about why it was wrong, beyond the fact that it wasn't accepted by society and some other obscure reasons.

I tried looking up stuff on the internet, and well it wasn't really clear to me. I know that reddit or quora might be a better forum for this kind of a question, but HN is the only forum that I use, and so this is most convenient for me. So I am struggling to answer why this might be wrong ?
