Show HN: I have been creating a tool to analyse blockchain data
https://www.blockpage.app/
I have been creating a tool to analyse blockchain data side by side (in beta). Currently we support 6 coins with more coming, also more data points.

you can add any data block from any supported coin to your personal blockpage. All components you can drag and drop.

If you are into streaming I have created a green screen option so you can use these data blocks as a overlay for video creation.

Desktop view is the best experience at the minute as mobile is still in dev.

Site is in beta bugs still knocking about but it would be nice to get an opinion on the site and what people would want to see

Ask HN: How do you keep track of product feature management?
In our company, we have a Web, Mobile, & Backend platform that currently consists of about 100 new features that I am prioritizing in an Excel sheet based on effort and company/customer value.

It's definitely getting to the point where I don't feel organized. I was wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks on building out a system of keeping track of all the features that they want to build into their roadmap for future updates to their platform.

Re: Why Markets Tip To One Platform (or Not)
http://nonsequitorial.com/post/17266447875/re-why-markets-tip-to-one-platform-or-not
Researchers studied the possible reasons why some marketplaces tip and others don't. They hypothesize that "horizontal" markets are the key driver. I think it's a function of the difficulty of publishing to multiple platforms.

About, Terms of Use, and Privacy Policy pages
We've all seen "Terms of Use" and 'Privacy Policy" pages on different websites that nobody reads, even when they're forced to pretend they've read them as a condition of signing up, and that create a problem down the road because, well, they're unreadable. And byzantine. And perhaps for this reason, unenforceable in court. So for startups who want to save legal expense, it makes sense to write as much of these documents as possible before paying a lawyer to review them and fill holes. So if you can think of a well-written, clean and simple TOU or PP, please let me know why it's so good and, of course, where I can find it. Thanks!

Similarly, not all organizations have good "about pages." But some do a good job, and their "About" page creates trust in users and encourages loyalty and, therefore, usage. So which "About" pages do you consider effective, and why? Should they necessarily include founder/co-founder/team biographies? Notes on investors? Thanks!
Ask HN:Coding vs Marketing
Hi, it's been a little while since I launched my startApp and I am lost somewhere in the the App store, quite naturally, since no marketing has been done. Being ultra-lean, and having to do the dirty work myself (press releases, contact bloggers etc), I have the following problem. Every time I want to start, I end up in Xcode programming my next feature. I suppose coding is irresistible and postponing the dirty job is the easy solution. "Having the Best product is the best marketing" is also a poor excuse I use. But we all know I am wrong. So how do you solve this problem? How to you fight this urge to code and keep producing things, instead of market them?
'Blub' from a linguistic point of view

Additionally, LL has a habit of exploring topics repeatedly, so there may be more articles concerning how Blub applies to human language soon.
Show HN: Automatically screen job candidates from just a job description
https://use.trovinto.com
Stop wasting time going over hundreds of CVs and profiles. Get an instant ranking of the candidates.

Job candidates qualify themselves, from the questionaire that Trovinto tailors specifically to the role and job description you are hiring for.

Trovinto is build on top of natural language models, to understand the job requirements, pose open ended questions to the candidate and be able to evaluate the responses.

I believe this will replace multiple choice, static assessments for very specific roles, and allow firms to discover people with rounded profiles, or who have great abstract understanding of technology but lack photographic memory to ace a (memory) multiple choice test.

If you want to use Trovinto in the future, please let me know in the comments. I am giving early access out free, to get feedback and to better understand the market.

Ask HN: Why mobile phones don't support HTML5?
Although HTML5 is not a closed standard, iPhone, Android, WP7, etc doesn't support stuff like contentEditable and designMode.

Why do you think they are not supporting it?
In the iPhone case their UITextView control is something like a UIWebView with contentEditable but you need to use undocumented APIs for that.

Cell phone records to convict the mob that burned 1000 people alive
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/03/world/asia/gujarat-riot-trials-may-alter-indias-cycle-of-violence.html
"Thousands of cases against rioters were dismissed by the police for lack of evidence despite eyewitness accounts.

But in 2004, the Supreme Court intervened, acting on petitions from human rights groups. The court ordered that more than 2,000 dismissed cases be reopened, a special police team be created and some trials be transferred out of Gujarat. The wheels of justice began to turn, leading more victims to press claims.

That year, a lawyer representing victims was cross-examining a top police official when the official laid a CD on the table in front of him.

“What’s that?” asked the lawyer, Dr. Mukul Sinha.

“Evidence,” answered the officer, Rahul Sharma.

The CD contained records of every cellphone call made in Ahmedabad during the worst of the rioting. The records allowed advocates to construct precise timelines of the movements of many rioters, timelines that often dovetailed with the accounts of riot victims but contradicted those of the accused.

Dr. Sinha is still mining the records for evidence, but Mr. Modi’s government is vigorously trying to suppress the investigation, charging the officer who provided the records with violating the Official Secrets Act."

Vile_rat: We saw one of our 'police' guards taking pictures
http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/09/20/us-usa-libya-security-idUSBRE88J18R20120920
One possible indication of suspicious activity on the part of Libyan guards at the consulate is a cryptic message which Sean Smith, an American diplomat killed in the Benghazi attack, sent to friends in the online gaming community, in which he was a long-time participant.

A gaming website called The Mittani on September 12 posted what it said was a message Smith sent before his death. In the message, a person using the screen-name "Vile_rat", which The Mittani said was Smith's, the writer said: "assuming we don't die tonight. We saw one of our 'police' that guard the compound taking pictures."

U.S. officials familiar with investigations into the attack had no immediate comment on Smith's purported message.

"Max’s numerous technical articles have appeared in a wide variety of magazines, including ED, EDN, Chip Design, EE Times, PCB Design, and the electronics and computing hobbyist magazine Everyday Practical Electronics (EPE). Also, he has held contributing editor or executive editor roles at Programmable Logic DesignLine, Chip Design Magazine, SOC Central, and Everyday Practical Electronics. Max has presented papers at technical conferences around the world; e.g., in 2010 he presented at the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) Silicon Valley in April, ESC India in July, and the Embedded Live Conference in London, England in October; in 2012 he gave the keynote presentation at the FPGA Forum in Norway and also a guest lecture at Oslo University in Norway.<p>Max is the author and/or co-author of a number of books, including Designus Maximus Unleashed (Banned in Alabama), Bebop To The Boolean Boogie (An Unconventional Guide to Electronics), Bebop BYTES Back (An Unconventional Guide to Computers), EDA: Where Electronics Begins, 3D Graphics on Windows NT, The Design Warrior’s Guide to FPGAs, FPGAs: Instant Access, and How Computers Do Math.<p>"When I say microcontrollers I mean microprocessors also — both of these are just about the most inefficient way of performing these calculations known to humankind because they do things sequentially, instruction by instruction, which is very slow and very inefficient. The only reason that everything looks so efficient and impressive these days is because we are talking about running out processors with clock frequencies around 2.4 gigahertz, which is pretty much the same frequency we use in a microwave oven. Scary! The end result is that we’ve got processor chips that consume a humongous amount of power.""

OWC: Not All SSDs Are Created Equal: The Story Continues

"When we took the cover off of this third, direct from OCZ SSD, we found a ‘S’ stamped over Micron logo on all the flash devices (see the image to the left). This indicates the device is “off spec” product because it failed some parameter of Micron’s full performance and/or quality specification testing. “Off spec” memory is typically used in low-level applications such as toys, offering considerable cost savings over Tier 1 level to an SSD manufacturer."

We wrote some code for couch potatoes
http://tivify2.appspot.com/
We had a quick idea and just coded in few weekends. Celebrity Social is an unofficial name. Basically it's a site for anyone to engage easily with celebrities or show casts through their tweets, organized by specific TV shows. We know most of the time the casts don't tweet about their shows anyways but heck, let see...

Your suggestions are welcome:

1. Is this site/app cool, useful..?

2. What name should we use?

3. What you like to have or do (with celebrities online or people talking about specific show)? Assume we can take this really really far... But we don't want to duplicate GetGlue.

4. Any minor bugs, errors, problems you saw?
