Is a revolution in Mobile communication even possible?
https://plus.google.com/106992686153074610557/posts/226bkaH1iq2
I just got out of an interesting conversation regarding mobile communication and I would like the the HN community to help me figure this out.

The conversation begins with this question: If we remove cell phone towers, is it possible to have direct mobile-to-mobile data exchanges? This means no WIFI, 3G, etc, to connect the data from one mobile smartphone phone to another. Instead of utilizing cell-towers to connect us, why not a direct transfer of data? Some examples of data exchanges can be phone calls, text messages, media sharing, etc (or simply the transaction of local data from the phone itself and not data from the web). If mobile phones are equipped to send and receive data, why do we need cell phone towers as the middle man? We tend to accept the current structures in place as permanent, when they are not. They currently exist as a gate-keeping mechanism to charge people for services that we already have the resources to bypass!

The conversation ensued regarding everything from rights to frequencies, to drivers and antenna design, to all the things that phone-makers do to make it purposely difficult for this to happen. For example, why can't you use your mobile phone to request data from your home computer (given you are within wireless range for your smartphone to transfer data), which then forwards the data to your phone? What if your mobile phone could connect to a private network with every other mobile phone which locally transfers data from phone to phone?

Some benefits include:
1. cost reduction of bill for voice or data from wireless carriers.
2. direct mobile-to-mobile data transfer instead of through a cell tower bottleneck.
3. privacy.

So I ask, do any of you have insight into how this could possibly happen? Is something like this already in development/production? What changes in a smartphones hardware or software is needed to make this happen? Thanks in advance for your input.

Keith Richards' Memoir
http://www.treatment4addiction.com/blog/treatment/keith-richards-memoir/
Keith Richards, the Rolling Stones guitarist and songwriter, recently came out with his new memoir, Life, one of the most interesting revelations about recovery that involves the role of music, his work and passion, in the rocker’s decision to give up heroin and cocaine. For much of his life, he used these drugs to fuel his work– many of the Stones’ greatest songs were written during the peak of Richards’s drug use. He still drinks copiously and smokes marijuana and cigarettes. Drugs had caused a number of problems in his life– he’d suffered the death of a child and the drug-related deaths of several friends and band makes, but when heroin threatened his ability to make music, he was finally willing to quit.

Media accounts of drug problems rarely mention the power of life’s meaning and purpose over addiction. Regardless, research repeatedly finds that addicts in recovery do better when they have a sense of mission, a sense that what they do matters to others and is necessary. Without key sources of meaning and purpose- like children, relationships and productive work- addicts rarely stay clean. 12-step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous give members a sense of meaning and purpose through spirituality or religion.

However, many rehab programs and addiction professionals deter those new to recovery to work. Due to those with addictive inclinations, those new to recovery can transfer their addiction onto work instead of focusing on building a strong foundation in recovery. Recently on CNN, in an interview regarding actor and frequent substance user Charlie Sheen, Dr. Drew said that it would be “impossible” for him to work and do rehab well at the same time. That’s a common belief in rehab: people are often told the should focus only on recovery and not on work or family or other “distractions,” when they’re trying to quit.

On the other hand, Keith Richards was able to work while quitting drugs and Lindsay Lohan, who is apparently permitted to work on her fashion line while recovering at the Betty Ford Center, can be beneficial to some. While its true that addicts must pay attention to learning skills the skills to avoid relapse, research finds that in the long term it’s much more important to foster the opportunity for meaningful work and close relationships. That way, even though you can’t get what you want, you’ll still have what you need.

As an alcoholic, addict, and full-time worker, I feel that keeping busy was beneficial to my recovery. Since boredom was a huge trigger, work allowed me to stay busy and keep my mind occupied. Some new to sobriety are not able to maintain a job due to their inability to maintain accountability or responsibility. With time, this will come. Luckily, since I was a high functioning alcoholic, I was able to jump back into society and continue to move forward.

Show HN: Remove diacritics, stop words and punctuation marks for free
I have a data cleaning add-on for Google Sheets called Flookup and I recently opened up one of its most popular functions to the public.

This function (called NORMALIZE) can be used to do everything listed in the title but, one thing I didn't mention, is that it can be also used to remove unwanted/stop words that are not exact matches e.g. "privilege" vs "privelege"! This, of course, can help reduce the data cleaning headache by several leagues.

Please take a minute to give it a try and, if you are so inclined, please let me know what you think about it.

Investing in intelligent print advertising is a great way to attract buyers and the people in the automotive industry have understood that well. Now… which one will you choose?

Ask HN: Require.js + CoffeeScript Smart Autocompletion
In a project I'm working on we use Backbone + Marionette + Require.js written in CoffeeScript. I'm still using Sublime Text 3. I'm happy with it but I would love to have intelligent autocompletion for my objects. CodeIntel did not help.

For 2 days I was playing with WebStorm 9. They do support CoffeeScript and AMD modules, but I would say that this support is poor:
- No idea how to annotate CoffeeScript
- Almost all AMD loaded modules are not resolved by their indexer
So WebStorm didn't help me much. Yes it has some heuristic algorithms and sometimes it may almost guess what you want to type (after 4-5 characters) but most of the time it proposes methods from node/js/dom...

So I was wondering if there are any other IDEs/texteditors/plugins/methods that would allow me to have autocompletion for AMD defined modules in CoffeeScript.

Thanks.

Show HN: I made desktop app to browse and reduce AWS cloud costs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lx-0Dt0zwA4
I made CloudPouch application to help individual engineers or architects to understand and reduce AWS costs.

I have already earned few hundred bucks on it, and decided to spend it on explainer video that is provided in the link. I hope you like it.

Here are several facts that make CloudPouch unique:

1. It is a desktop application, not SaaS. Thus, you don't need to share your cost data with my company.

The application connects directly to AWS from your computer, without anything in a middle.

2. Since that, you don't need any special approvals from management to use it, as you don't share sensitive information with any 3-rd party. All you need is ce:GetCostAndUsage privilege to access cost data.

This is standard IAM action, that many engineers already have access to.

3. There is no red tape. That's why you can use it with all AWS accounts to which you already have programmatic access.

CloudPouch loads your AWS CLI and SSO profiles that you already have defined on your computer. Without any additional configuration.

This is super handy!

4. It saves a lot of time because you can switch between different accounts inside the CloudPouch application.

You don't need to login into the AWS web console, deal with multiple browser windows, and all that hassle.

I overlook many accounts. I can use it with all of them.

5. It shows cost data in a predefined way. That means that billing data from any of your accounts will be displayed in the same, familiar way.

Even BETWEEN accounts belonging to different customers of yours.

This makes you more productive!

6. It's cost-effective. A single license costs $10 per month, regardless of:
- the number of AWS accounts you use,
- the bill size on each of them.

This makes it a superb choice for any cloud consultant, architect, or engineer.

7. It works on macOS, Windows, and Linux, and is really fast!

https://cloudpouch.dev/

I'm looking for your feedback and ideas how to make it more useful for AWS users.
