Show HN: Noise Destroyer
https://www.noisedestroyer.com/
I made noise destroyer to help people get rid of background noise from their audio or video files. I had to write code to split mp4 files into audio and video, then merge them once processed. What a load of effort! Who knew mp4 was so complicated. What's more, if there's one tiny bug, the whole thing fails to play with very little in the way of debugging! If anybody needs help with it shoot me an email at dane@turbobuilt.com and I can help. Please enjoy using Noise Destroyer whenever you have a file with background noise. And no, I'm not gonna say how I built it because I need money right now for various reasons and I don't want anybody to steal my idea! I hope you guys enjoy.

Ask HN: How to find contacts of decisions makers for startup sales activity?
I am a co-founder of a startup. We have launched a product for e-commerce and travel category. I am wondering how can I find contact details (mainly emails) of decision makers?

Ask HN: My startup is ramping up but I have no time. What next?
The last time I asked HN I wanted to know when I should be looking for funding. I have a great product, lots of quality traffic and a decent fan base. In the first year of business I've had 500,000 unique users to my site. It's a news site.

I have a full time job and do the project on the side. I've never thought of making money from it, but it would be nice to cover my hosting bills and maybe a car payment.

My problem is that my full time job takes up 3/4 of my day. It's 11pm right now and I'm still on a job related task. I don't see it letting up any time soon and I'm afraid that my time for the site will be limited.

Here's my question:

How do I find the time to go after investors and get some capital behind the project without quitting my day job but still have time to do it?

I can't let it die, it's my passion. It's what I think about when I wake up, while I work and before I sleep.

Any suggestions?

Show HN: Website Hunt – Best websites you didn't know
https://www.websitehunt.co
Hello HN !

This is my first post, (long time 'lurker') I decided to show you my weekend project (≈20h of work).

Websitehunt.co
The best websites you didn't know.

https://www.websitehunt.co

It is basically a newsletter where you receive the most upvoted websites each week.

The websites submitted have to "stand alone", like tools. It generally cannot be a landing page for an app and such.

If you know a cool little known website, this is the place to add it ! Autopromotion is welcomed.

The submission are queued and 10 websites of the queue are released each day. I think this is good for the UX.

The concept is old and very simple. It is just a ProductHunt for websites, but I think people will be interested, ( I am and was before building it ).

Lighter & Thinner - Only 8.5 Ounces
When reading for long periods of time, we know that weight matters. That’s why we worked hard to make our newest Kindle lighter than ever – only 8.5 ounces – so you can read comfortably for hours with just one hand. Kindle is lighter than a typical paperback, and thinner than a magazine. Just a third of an inch in profile, Kindle fits perfectly in your hands.<p>Ergonomic Design
Kindle is easy to hold and read. We designed it with long-form reading in mind. When reading for long periods of time, people naturally shift positions and often like to read with one hand. Kindle's page-turning buttons are located on both sides, allowing you to read and turn pages from any position. The new soft-touch, textured back is comfortable to hold and never gets hot in your hands.
Dropbox Brings the Cloud to the iPad, Android, and Other Apps

I think it is not an exaggerated statement to say that 90% of all online buzz is somehow connected to a very small number of primary topics or words. Words like Twitter, social media, location, and cloud computing. To focus on the last of those words, cloud computing has really started to become a leading trend, with the guiding light being of course, Google.

Ask HN: What do you search for when you want Best Practices?
Look, I dislike the term "best practices" as much as you do. For starters, it sounds like a marketing phrase, even when it's not. And it suggests that there's only one "best" way to do something.

What we tend to mean is, "Tell me where the bodies are buried" or "What are the accepted ways to solve this problem" or "I want to know about the common errors so I can avoid them." The problem is... when you write an article that answers those questions, it has lousy SEO or at least is long-winded.

As a result, we authors and editors slap on a title of "FooBar Best Practices" anyway.

Unless there's another phrase you use, instead? If you want to read an article that summarizes "Things that serious techies learned the hard way," what would you type into a search engine?

Ask HN: How could we handle payout to sub-merchants in unsupported country
I've read https://openchannel.io/blog/marketplace-payments-paypal-stripe/

Basically, out of those options we have found Stripe to be the best fit for long run.

Now we also have sub-merchants in countries that are not supported by Stripe as of now, we cannot onboard sub-merchants to Stripe Connect.

We were thinking of paying out to from Stripe to Transferwise (or similiar), and from Transferwise to sub-merchants.

But this would create a problem, we would have to create some kind of accounting system to make sure everything went smooth.

Have any of you tackled this problem in your company?

Thanks

Over the last few decades, reinforcement learning and decision making have been the focus of an incredible wealth of research spanning a wide variety of fields including psychology, artificial intelligence, machine learning, operations research, control theory, animal and human neuroscience, economics and ethology. Key to many developments in the field has been interdisciplinary sharing of ideas and findings, yet there is was no single conference that brings brought all these communities together.

Ask HN: How to show value of an analytics platform for dev and ops?
I'm part of a relatively new startup (jut.io). We're building an analytics platform focused on ingesting operational data (logs, statsd metrics, collectd, alerts). Our secret sauce is a dataflow-driven analytics approach that works really well for both live and historical data. We believe our market is code-centric ops people and developers who also do ops.

Currently our strategy consists of:

(1) Hosting an online playground where anyone can use our dataflow language/visualizations without deploying anything (http://www.jut.io/play);

(2) Showing common use cases in action in that environment;

(3) Creating content showing examples of how you might use us.

My question:

What would convince you to sign up to beta a product like this?

Want Creative Workers? Loosen the Reins, Boss

Philip Glass, the contemporary composer, works on his new compositions only between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. That’s the time, he says, when his creative ideas come to him. When filmmaker George Lucas needs to write or edit a script, he sequesters himself in a small cottage behind his house where he gets no calls or visitors.(...)
Ask HN:  How do I get honest feedback from interviewers?
Usually, when I get declined for a job, I ask the company for feedback (unless I already know why they declined me). The answer is almost always along the lines of "We thought you were the greatest person we've ever met. We just don't think it's a good fit." While I can understand why they give this kind of response, and I appreciate them not wanting to hurt my feelings, this response just isn't very helpful to me. To be honest, I'd rather employers just tell me that I'm the worst human being they've ever met as long as they tell me how they made that decision.

With work at a startup coming up, I felt this would be a good question to bring up. Does anyone have any advice for me on this subject?
Ask HN: Differential Search Engine
If I am casually researching a topic on any of the major search engines Yahoo, Bing, Google, etc works fine and bring up numerous links that are useful. However, when I want to go into more depth in a topic or in an obscure topic (after I have read the top links) I have to go down 2,3,4 or more pages of links to find the hidden gems. I have an idea for a differential search engine that does a search on two different services (say Yahoo and Google) then cancels the most popular or high placed links common to both and displays the remaining links. Does anything like this exist? How hard would that be to do?
