Android announcements at Mobile World Congress 2013
http://www.networkworld.com/slideshow/89699/10-best-android-announcements-at-mobile-world-congress-2013.html#slide1
: Even though Samsung was a holdout waiting to be the center of attention in New York to announce the Galaxy S4 next week there were notable Android product announcements at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last week. One clear trend is every manufacturer believes that a high end flagship phone with a 4.3 inch or larger LCD with HD resolution of 1920X1080 and at least a 1.5 Ghz processor is mandatory. These flagship smartphones may have been introduced early to preempt Samsung’s Galaxy S4 announcement. Despite some incredible engineering it becomes increasingly difficult to differentiate an Android offering.

Ask HN: What direction should i take for building my web app
I am trying to build a mobile web app whose content has top be crawled by search engines, its an idea that we are willing to test call it an MVP.
Currently we are considering using AngularJS on the front-end and then Ruby for the webservice.

I have been thinking about how well angularJS apps work well with search engines as it is imperative that the site is crawlable and also what would be the most efficient language to build a fully functioning, scalable web service. We have the option of PHP, Ruby, Python.

Thanks in advance
Django style Über efficient php templates
http://www.haanga.org/
Haanga is a template engine that uses Django syntax. In the beginning it was developed for Menéame (a Spanish social news site ), but they decided to release it as an independent project so it can be used by anyone :-)

Some Hangaa’s features:

Human readable.

Easy to use and mantain.

Highly efficient because every template is “compiled” into a PHP script.

The generated code is ready to take advantage from any PHP optimizer (like xcache).

So I just watched a Chewa voice-over translation of Fast Five. A Malawian pirate translation that is. It was as real as any perfectly done voice over can be. Starts off a bit off ofcourse coz there’s no way in the world Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and the others could really be conversing in Chichewa, but you quickly forget and settle into it comfortably

A few ideas to foster Ubuntu edge founding
https://opensas.wordpress.com/2013/07/24/a-few-ideas-to-foster-ubuntu-edge-founding/
Canonical is trying to come out with it's own high-end Ubuntu Mobile, and to achieve it they expect to raise 32 million dollars (!) from crowd-founding. But, in my opinion, their offer is not tempting enough for us, the common mortals, unwilling to spend $ 800 on a mobile phone.

Here's a couple of ideas to make foster ubuntu Edge founding.
Ask HN: What to do as a lonely programmer in San Francisco
For as long, I've spent my time on the computer, and I've never tried to social. Now, I find myself with a good career as programmer in San Francisco.

I don't seem to know how to make friends. I don't know how to find a girlfriend. I'm 29 years old. I feel absolutely devastated. People have told me to go meetups, and try online dating. However, despite career success, I feel almost clueless socially. I've tried different things, but at times, I feel no way out.

Is there anyone else out there like this? What should I do?
Keep it Simple and Get More Freelance Jobs
http://devstand.com/money/find-freelance-jobs/
Web freelancing brings billions of dollars in the pockets of experts every year, but the truth is that only few freelancers really make it in this highly competitive niche. The reason for this is that employers are looking for high quality and a good time of delivery, but besides that employers are interested in your current stats and portfolio. There are lots of freelance job finder sites, but is it really a good idea to approach all of them? Check out my post to see how to attract more employees and how to build a brand based on your freelance projects.

Is it just me or this is a very stupid idea?
http://www.passwordcard.org/en
I did some very quick arithmetics following the instructions given by the creators of this card, and it seems to me that the card holds < 3000 password possibilities (ONLY!).

These guys are advising users to use strings around 8 (let's think 6-10) consecutive characters (top-bottom, bottom-top, left-right, right-left and diagonals) as passwords.

I think this technique would increase the possibilities of brute-forcing a password by several degrees of magnitude.

Am I missing something?

Guardthis.info: a better way to share passwords with your team
http://guardthis.info
Guardthis.info is a better way to share sensitive data, like login information. You input your text and expiration time, and then share a unique link.

I created it because I didn't like the idea of emailing passwords in plain text for shared sites (e.g., Google apps, Heroku) to my colleagues.

It lacks a few essential security features like SSL encryption, but it's good enough for my needs.

Chocolate Rain: What can it teach us entrepreneurs?
http://tracksuitceo.wordpress.com/2007/08/15/chocolate-rain-what-does-it-mean/
I think there's more to the song than just 19 couplets with the same repetitive intro. There's an underlying meaning there that the creator himself describes as "a process of internalized racism". And with lyrics like "the Bell Curve blames the baby's DNA", I have to agree.

We're building an open source spectrometer
http://www.openspectrometer.com
Hi all, this is my first post here... I hope its not considered off-topic.<p>My friends and I are building a photospectrometer, and we're open-sourcing code, design files, and parts lists.<p>We just got the CCD working, which companies sell as a line reader for a few hundred dollars alone. Its a $20 CCD chip, and while we think we'll use an ARM processor with USB and the ability to add ethernet, we are considering all platforms as viable (for instance, I've got a parallax propeller on the way to test with, as it can already talk directly to Android devices over a software ADB protocol, so would be a quick and easily hacked way to talk to the CCD as well as display and process data).<p>We've also been playing around with software ideas and spectral databases... big companies really sell their databases as far as we can tell... so we're starting one that's free and open too. The software will all be HTML and Javascript, so it will run in Python via webkit, or webkit on Android/iPhone, etc...

We're looking at optics from Newport Corp, Thor Labs, and Chinese suppliers (through Alibaba.com). We'll couple optics together with fiber optics, and will be looking into using commodity TOSlink cables if possible. We'll also put together some accessories to help actually taking different lab/field measurements (dip probe, cuvette holder, microvolume pedestal), and we've even done some microfluidic cuvettes using laser cut acrylic sandwiching double-sided clear tape.

Cheers!

I’m currently learning Golang and SQL.
Ask HN: How do you report annual packages in startup RMR?
Ok, say you have 2 plans, monthly and annual. Annual you provide with a discount.

So say you charge either $100 monthly or $1000 annually. Someone buys the $1000 package in January and pays up front.

How do you report the RMR to your investors?

Do you include the whole $1000 into the RMR for January, or.. do you report $83,33 (1/12) every month for that annual package?

I am having that issue now in EmployPlan.

Do you see any differences between countries in that regard?

Show HN: Unwanted Cloud – Privacy-focused product reviews
https://unwanted.cloud/
Hi HN! I found that when buying a new smart product I would always try to find out if the product can be used offline, without giving away your data to the company behind it. Unfortunately this is usually hard to find, so this blog was born.

One of the big inspirations was Mozillas Privacy Not Included blog.
Ask HN: Who leaks exit prices?
It seems that when a well known company is bought ought in the tech space reporters very often find out the purchase price.

Both the purchaser and the company getting acquired publicly state that they won't disclose the price, but we usually get it nonetheless.

If we take Wufoo for example, they have a handful of people on their leadership team, and although Survey Monkey has 60 ppl, I'd bet that only a handful of people were involved in the details of the transaction.

I have a suspicion that it is usually the company being acquired that leaks this info to a reporter with an understanding of source confidentiality. Or is this info coming to reporters from third parties that were involved in the deal?

A community driven security stack

Integrated security solutions are usually proprietary and opaque, this is a trial in creating a software stack that is freely available, easily modifiable and inspected, using only open source components and technology. While still far from the "automagic" of proprietary solutions, it can be a step in the right direction.
