“Find something you love enough to spend 10 years on it. This is your market”
Answering:"I want to learn something.Where do I start?"
http://onvard.com/blogs/hello-world-how-onvard-came-about
We started Onvard after discovering that certain topics, such as computer programming and investing, did not have easily accessible learning tools. We knew there were tons of free online resources, but we all encountered the same problem: it was nearly impossible to navigate through these scattered resources. We saw multiple layers in this problem. For instance:<p>(1) We Didn't Know Where to Start
There was no central place where we could begin online education. Google was only good if we knew exactly what we were looking for, but as beginners, we had no idea what to search and where to begin. YouTube tutorials posed the same problem.<p>(2) We Could Not Find Quality Sources
There was no way for us to distinguish the good resources from the bad. Even when we knew what to look for, we were forced to pick the first resources off irrelevant criteria - for instance, which website was the most visually appealing.<p>(3) We Wanted the Next Step:
Even after we had found a quality resource, after using it, we wouldn't know what to do next to continue our education. For example, after stumbling upon and viewing a YouTube tutorial, where were we supposed to go next?<p>These frustrating experiences led us to create Onvard, to answer the question every beginning learner asks - Where do I start, how do I begin, and which resources should I use?

Show HN: High-Quality NSFW Video App
https://fapnite.com
Hi Hacker News!

It's safe to say that we all enjoy some quality apps on our phones. But guess what, there's a certain industry that's still clinging to the usability and security standards from the desktop era of the 2010s. Poorly designed UIs, bombardments of ads, random popups, scams, etc. This industry operates in such a shady way that we as users rather keep their products in incognito mode.

We say no more and offer you the following solution:

USER EXPERIENCE

- Mobile first and native-like UI design.
- Beautiful dark mode that's easy on your eyes.
- Instant navigations, smooth scrolling, touch gestures.
- Can be added to the home screen for fullscreen and quick access (PWA).
- No annoying ads and popups.

PRIVACY PROTECTION

- All data is stored locally in browser storage. No personal information is sent to servers.
- All functionality is available without sign up or other personal identification.
- No Google Analytics. Instead, we use the privacy-focused Fathom Analytics (usefathom.com).
- No URL paths that expose information in the browsing history. Forward/back navigation still works perfectly.

INCLUSIVITY

- Only personal (and verified) accounts allowed. No studios or brands. This means that all available content has been approved by their actors and was created consensually. - We welcome all types of sexual orientation and try to provide the best possible service to all of our users.

Please note that this product is only intended for persons over the age of 18.

Happy swiping!

Show HN: Butt Mover, an IRL Productivity and Health Improvement Game
https://buttmover.com
I need to get up from my chair and take a walk at regular intervals for medical reasons, But I often forget to do that when I'm immersed with work, So I wanted a solution which reminds me to take a walk at regular intervals automatically.

Hence I created Butt Mover to solve that problem, It has two parts;

1. Butt Trigger: An ESP8266 based button switch which goes under a butt cushion on the chair and is connected to the computer.

2. Butt Mover: The game which starts the task timer (25 minute interval) when we sit on the chair and reminds to take a walk when the timer ends(with audio). When we get up from the chair the break timer (5minutes for 5 tasks and a long break for 30 minutes) starts and reminds to get back to the seat when the timer ends.

Those who cannot build the Butt Trigger, Can start the timers manually but that removes the major advantage of not having to focus explicitly on Butt Mover.

I've been using a crude version of this setup for past two years with good improvement in my productivity and health; So I finally created a version which is more accessible to others upon suggestion from many including some from HN.

I hope you can try Butt Mover, Especially with the Butt Trigger and if you liked what it does then you can also build and sell Butt Trigger for others who are interested.

Show HN: Compare Your Bills With Neighbors
https://billsnooper.com
When I was moving last year, I asked around to determine the best TV and internet provider and I discovered that some of my friends were paying insane prices for comparatively less service. Obviously the company wasn't going to help my friends save...so I decided to make a web app that allows neighbors to compare their bills. Knowledge is power, my friends.

This is my first release (and first MVP) so I do plan on making continuous updates.

Comments and suggestions are highly encouraged!

Funny part: I discovered that I was paying about $0.13 per kWH on my electric bull and my friend (same zipcode) is only paying $0.06...I just switched electric suppliers the other day. It was definitely satisfying to find out that my app at least helped me out.

ThePlanet.com offers free server space - but want your credit card number anyway
ThePlanet.com offers free server space - but want your credit card number anyway. Why do so many companies ask me for personal information when they took up my time saying it is free? Potential ID theft certainly is NOT free! Actual ID theft is even costlier. I wish them success in their venture, but this is one I'll pass on. I've seen their posts several times today and have thought about it each time, but the answer is still no.

Ask HN: Learning Social Network Analysis - question about the math
I've been thinking of learning SNA with a view towards researching online social networks (mathematically)
and their characteristics and I would like some insights.

I have a degree in computer science, but I've realized that my mathematical background, as it stands now, for going deep into
things like graph theory etc is rusty.

What would you recommend as a good list of books/other resources for getting started with the mathematical portion of it?

This is what I plan to do
1. Build up the math background first
2. Get into graph theory

I know there are a lot of books dealing specifically with SNA, but I have a long way to go before I can read those :)
Any advice is appreciated.

A conversation with Alexander Karp, CEO of Palantir Technologies (2009)
http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/10549
Karp's vision for Palantir before he started it: "[The company] would do two things -- it would allow humans to find needles in hay stacks. Make the date intellegible to you and me, and by doing that would allow us to find bad people trying to destroy our society. And could be used to protect civil liberties, by making the data sets transparent, so that it's very clear what the government is doing and how they're doing, which is a particular passion of our company."

Glass' evolution, some suggestions
http://www.slideshare.net/jaksprats/ev-glass-32651571
Recently I started cataloging all the changes I would make to Glass and wrote up a (not perfectly organized) power point presentation. More recently Google announced and released Android wear, which is very much in line with some of my suggestions, so I felt validated that my ideas were relevant and thought I should share them.

Hopefully some of my other ideas are in line w/ what Google is thinking, because a technology like a Glass is a certainty to be in your household, but not in its current form.
