Most critically I'm looking for an EAST ASIAN TECHIE who is facing troubles with immigration to the US.

Know anyone who we reach out to?

Ask HN: Stay or look for a new job if I am a dev in travel industry?
I have been working a software developer in one of the largest online travel companies.
I love my work and we work on the project which is critical to business. With all the Coronavirus pandemic around, travel industry is completely down and I am not sure how much time it will take to recover.
Unlike Airbnb, our company have some strong financials and healthy balance sheet which can last for atleast two years but promotions and bonus will be effected in near time.
So, shall I look out for a new job in a different industry or I have to wait a bit more?

Must Consult Free Online Apps for Your Next SEO Campaign

Ask HN: Career Advice Software/Data/PM
Hey all,
I'm looking for career advice and think you are the right group to consult.

I worked at a German university as a full time member in research and teaching for the last couple of years and finished my PhD (Dr.-Ing.) in complex systems and software engineering two years ago. Since 1.5 years I work with a fast-growing startup in a role that is best summarized by data scientist.

My direct manager recently expressed his satisfaction with my results and working style and wants to support me to develop in my career. I need to decide where I want to go.

So far I've always seen myself as a generalist, with broad experience in PCB design, software design/development, and as a team lead. I love to achieve results with others and want to stay flexible and in-charge of my decisions for the good of my company in the future. I work best in exchange with others and would enjoy to guide a team of like-minded devs/scientists. The importance of planning is dear to me but never gave me the joy a tech-savvy brainstorming session does.

Without going in exhaustive depth, I hope this was enough to give an impression. From your experience: What are the most important questions or implication I should think about to be able to make a decision? Thanks!

Divvy bikes data analysis challenge

Seems to be focused on Chicago (yay!), but there's lots of interesting data to analyze for prizes. Might be fun for the "data scientists", etc out there. Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with Divvy. In fact, I find their riders in Chicago pretty annoying.

There's lots of location data to chew on, especially relevant to geospatial folks.
Ganzfeld Hallucinations: your mind craves sensations.
http://mindhacks.com/2008/11/17/ganzfeld-hallucinations/
Apparently, your brain is so addicted to sensory stimulation, that replacing visual and audible inputs with blank meaningless signals for long enough will trick you into seeing all sorts of hallucinations.

Ping pong halves on your eyes and white noise on your headphones seem to do the trick!

Have you ever tried this or experienced this?
The Architecture of Productivity
http://blog.ponyfoo.com/2013/05/03/the-architecture-of-productivity
It's been a while since I last blogged. I went on vacation, switched jobs, and have been generally busy. I'm now working full-time remote, which will hopefully give me some more time to dedicate to this blog.
A few days ago, I read an interesting rant, written by Ryan Dahl, about software development. It prompted me to write this blog post about it, and share my thoughts on the matter. You can find his post at the end of this entry.
Ryan boldly indicates that all that matters in software development is user experience. I disagree with this. And here's why.

Show HN: My First iOS Game Feedback and suggestions :)

Ask HN: What is your support desk solution and why?
Right now, we have a team of 15 people with 2 on full-time support but we're growing and I want to make sure that our solution is good for now and as we grow.

We use Zendesk but are considering other options very passively. Our main issues with Zendesk is that it is expensive, the data/analytics seem cluttered and convoluted, and the integrations (especially with Slack) seem to be lacking. I say "seem" because I don't feel like we know Zendesk very well, which could be one of the problems.

What do you see are the negatives and positives of the solution you use?

Show HN: Tab Flow (a Chrome extension for tab management)
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tab-flow/pfhnncnieignceheeojlnpfhkblicdjd
Hey all! I've been a lurker here for six months or so, but I've recently finished the initial version of a Chrome extension that some of you may find useful, especially if you're a tab hoarder like me.

Tab Flow lets you make sense of your mess of tabs by searching, batch-bookmarking, batch-moving, and batch-closing them. Don't know where your HN homepage tab is? Open the extension, search for it, and click the link to be taken directly to the tab. Want to move all your reddit tabs to a new window? Search for them, and click the "Move" link.

I really only wrote this for myself, but if it can make someone else's life easier, why not share it?

Let me know if there are any changes you'd recommend, or any features you think are missing. Constructive criticism is always welcome. As is customary (or should be) please direct trolling comments to /dev/null.

What other items might you add that you’d want to know?
The Unfolding Cloud Fractal: Of Slime Mold and Neurons
http://wattersjames.posterous.com/the-unfolding-cloud-fractal-of-slime-mold-and
The themes this week, however, were not jitter--they are the cutting edge of the "cloud" evolution. The cutting edge of cloud has shifted from an "if" to a how, and the minds who saw the cloud coming years before the general public are now confronting the balancing act between intrinsically lower featured, topologically insensitive cloud formations represented by certain volume leading de facto standards--and the increasingly technically possible emergence of more topologically calibrated and therefore feature rich clouds. Because simple infrastructure clouds came first, they have largely defined the market--but the voices of "no thanks!" are too powerful and persistent to write off purely as technological laggards--there are important architectural reasons they have abandoned or stayed home so far.

What are some creative partnership ideas?
I'm running an event aggregator web app, and I'd like to pick your brain on what creative partnerships I can pursue?

I acknowledge the fact that partnerships are important for growth, for example a friend built an email analytics platform that could take email addresses and gather social statistics, i.e. what platforms they're using etc... And he partnered with MailChimp, UnBounce etc... and it turned out to be a massive success.

I'm having some trouble thinking of creative partnerships in the event space. I've got the database populated with venues etc... but who can I partner with to grow the business?

Open to fresh ideas.

Thanks!!!!

Hi,

I'm a dummy. I'm trying to learn more about these. Is there a library I could start with?

AFAIK, I have to take some DBNs and stack them in a certain way but I'm having some issue with how they come together just right.

Any help? :)

Iphone signal testing with code
http://blog.vladalexa.com/2010/07/07/iphone-signal-testing-with-code/
Closest cell tower 1 Km, iPhone 3G, Wi-fi mode, iOS 4.0, Orange network.

With device held gently by edges:

signal avg 90 (outdoors, line of sight to cell tower, same altitude)
signal avg 8O (indoors, line of sight to cell tower, same altitude)
signal avg 60 (indoors, no line of sight to cell tower, same altitude)
signal avg 4O (outdoors, no line of sight to cell tower, ground level)

With device cradled in hand a average decrease of signal by 20 in all cases and whatever finger configuration.

Turning 3G on causes a average decrease of signal by 5 in all cases.

The connection strength bars shows 5 bars in all cases.

Absolute minimum experienced : 19, absolute maximum 94.

The application used to test gets the signal strength from private calls to apple’s CoreTelephony framework, in a effort to help the iphone signal testing going on share a common base i am providing the application to anyone, please let me know what are the results of your tests and feel free to contrite to the code on github.

The application is named VAFieldTest , it’s code is under a open source license and can be found at http://github.com/valexa/VAFieldTest , you need Xcode and a iPhone developer account to compile and run it.

Facebook 'Titan' = Google wave?
So, seems to me that Facebooks new 'Social Inbox' is just the same as wave. A single stream of mixed source content. REALLY? Besides which, do we really want to give Facebook MORE of our data? It seems that Facebook want to build their own internet, their aspiration is to be the single place you visit, regardless of what you want to do on the web. Don't get me wrong, it's not necessarily a bad idea, just a little scary!

Is facebook getting too big? Is Facebook's domination a little scary? Is Zuck a little bit evil? ;)
