NYC Startup that does HR/payroll for SME?Can I offer you seriously good coffee?
At AngelList/CrunchBase I couldn’t find many startups that matched these criteria. I’m the founder of a payroll SaaS startup in Brazil and I will be from 5-9 Jan in NY. It would be fantastic to chat and learn more about how you do business, your product, etc.

If anyone knows startups that do that too, please share! I will write to them directly.

Many thanks!

— The seriously good coffee comes from a coffee roaster that belongs to family, here in Brazil. It is considered one of the best of the country; recently it even won 3rd in the state of São Paulo coffee prize :-)

IPhone 4 Pre-Orders Sold Out and Android Catching up
http://blog.appboy.com/2010/06/iphone-4-pre-orders-sold-out-and-android-catching-up/
The past few days have been completely action filled and loaded with some great geek drama. The iPhone 4 was released for preorder, at least in theory. Customers trying to place the order on Apple.com were met with some serious errors and timeouts, and from what is being reported, the issue was on AT&T’s side.

JQuery Plugin: HTML5 canvas based color picker
http://www.jswidget.com/lab/canvas-based-color-picker.html
Yes, there are many different color picker widgets out there implemented using JavaScript. Yet this one is different with any of them from the root. It's implemented using the HTML5 <canvas> element. The transparent image based color picker has a big drawback: it's hard to resize. You always limited by the image size when you want to display a proper-sized color picker for you application. But canvas based color picker is different. You can change the color picker to any size you want.
SpiceText – All Your Email Accounts United
http://www.spicetext.com
Tired of having to check two, three, five or more email accounts across multiple websites each day? Apart from the timely interruptions, it's a tiring task having to remember account names and passwords. So, it makes sense to use an app that brings all your email accounts together in one place. Spice Text is a fully featured email and file management application that puts you in full control of your inbox and lets you preview all your accounts with just a single click.<p>If those accounts you manage now are making your day rather hectic and you feel like you're going nuts, all you have to do is add them all to SpiceText where you can easily switch between them with just a click. It does not limit you to only having a tablet or mobile device, but is available to you 24/7 and accessible from any desktop or laptop computer with an internet connection. What's even better, is you can manage all your personal and work files (small or large) and even share them with friends with ease. No more error messages insisting that you send your files one by one or even go to the point of having you create another account for a file sharing service which you may only use once. Aside from this, organizing you mail is a 'piece of cake'. Easily create and color code your folders and label your mails making them readily available on your request. Message labels are completely customizable and makes it easy to help you remember those important or funny mails that you may just want to share with your friends hours, days or even months from now. Then, when you are ready to find that special mail, you can use the search option to list them a they arrived. Not only that, but when you are tired of those annoying emails from specific contacts, sales sites or social media, simply flag or delete those messages without having to set an eye on what it is about.

ACM Queue interviews Cambridge researcher (and FreeBSD developer) Robert Watson on why processor designs need to change in order to better support security features like Capsicum — and how they change all the time (RISC, GPUs, etc). He also talks about the challenge of building a research team at Cambridge that could actually work with all levels of the stack: CPU design, operating systems, compilers, applications, and formal methods.

Show HN: Ingest, Store and Visualise, 1 tool that does it all for all your data
https://datazip.io/
From author, being in the data and startup ecosystem for some time now, have been trying to extract value from data, but the first step was always to get the infrastructure right and when I tried to do that, always got stuck in selecting the right tool for each step of Ingestion, storage, transformation and BI among 100's of available tools. And even after spending time and energy, chances of ending up choosing tools which are difficult to scale well with each other in a reliable and maintainable way are still very high !! This tool is an attempt to solve for this problem of getting started on extracting insights from data.

The "X" Factor in Business
http://www.davidblerner.com/david_b_lerner/2009/09/the-x-factor-in-business.html
Much as it has with most other sectors, the economic downturn has taken its toll on the early-stage ecosystem. Many angels have curled up into fetal position for a while, a good number of VC funds are simply running on fumes and lots of startups are having a difficult time getting traction and are consequently running out of operating capital. By necessity people keep up appearances but plenty of old hands out there know what the deal is. There’s no getting around it- it’s just been tough.

Handcent SMS for Android Makes Texting Cool Again
http://blog.appboy.com/2010/03/handcent-sms-for-android-makes-texting-cool-again/
It is interesting once in a while to take a step back and think about how many forms of communication we use on a regular basis. Better yet, how many different tools ensure we stay connected 24/7. First there was of course the telephone, then email, then came mobile technology, SMS, Facebook, Twitter, and the list goes on. With all these different resources at our disposal, a person can be reached almost always. Interestingly enough, even with all the technological advancements, texting does not seem to have decreased in popularity.

The cost of open-source furniture
http://www.dezeen.com/2014/02/14/opinion-justin-mcguirk-open-design-italian-furniture-industry/
Full Article: http://www.dezeen.com/2014/02/14/opinion-justin-mcguirk-open-design-italian-furniture-industry/

TL:DR - A stool which could cost £25 will cost closer to £250 for the same quality if using the open-source system. "if I wanted to take the train to that CNC cutter in Essex, there's nothing particularly "social" about watching a machine drill through plywood to some algorithmic configuration."

SmugMug releases Camera Awesome

I've been playing around with this today, and it's a really great app. It's obvious that it was built by a company that gets photography.

On a HN-related note, I think this is a clever way to get SmugMug's name out there. This app wasn't free to develop, but it's done so well that it will surely cause people to consider SmugMug's service.

Reactive Behavior in Object-oriented Applications
http://www.guidosalvaneschi.com/wp/reactive-behavior-in-object-oriented-applications-an-analysis-and-a-research-roadmap/
Reactive applications are difficult to implement. Traditional solutions based on event systems and the Observer pattern have a number of inconveniences, but programmers bear them in return for the benefits of OO design. On the other hand, reactive approaches based on automatic updates of dependencies – like functional reactive programming and dataflow languages – provide undoubted advantages but do not fit well with mutable objects.

Ash HN: Is Bitcoin a political tool, and should there be rules on how to use it?
There seem to be a lot of libertarians out there who want to shun anyone who doesn't use bitcoins in a libertarian way. They say if it's integrated into the current system, all is lost. This, despite the fact that it is open-source, has supply limits, and provides for easy, instant international trades without fees.

Will libertarians damage bitcoin for what it can do, or will it go on despite them?

Some thoughts on why bitcoin is not a political tool or soapbox: http://anarchant.com/bitcoin-isnt-soapbox/

Right Way to Submit Work Report ( Google Sheet vs. Internal Software)
I work at a small Service-based software tech company as an engineer, my daily work includes writing code, Review code, and push the code. I work daily between 2, 3 projects. We have in-house project management software that handles most of the tasks including project management, To-Do List, Kanban board, daily reporting, etc. We used to daily report on this software. (The fun part we don't have the access to the already submitted daily report in our personal dashboard)As per our company's new rule, we need to submit a weekly report on a google sheet( So the daily report needs to be separately tracked down in somewhere sheet or memorized something). My concern is that we are already submitting a report on internal software, why we need to separately submit the report weekly. isn't that obvious? Why we need to waste that precious time on a google sheet. When data already there in the internal software?

Exploring the idea of being a blogger for hire
please excuse my brevity, but this first text box is rather small. hopefully the comments will elaborate (and then illuminate, via the temporal progression of comment posting and dynamic up/down semantic incrementing/decrementing aka rule-consistent voting processor).

but anyway, the idea is to become a blogger for hire. i'm currently employed full time, so how about i pick a non-profit that i like and support, and help raise some funds for them. just to build up some karma (aka karma penguins! ?:http://i.imgur.com/36TJXTr.jpg :: +1! : yay!).

and why stop there? let's pick three, and see what kind of crazy concoctions we can create in the internetz. so i want to run a semi-open-sourced multi-charity/-non-profit (in the sense that i retain ownership of my campaign, my instance, my business entity, my self), where i try to build some cool stuff and ask for help from the community along the way.

is that something you might be interested in, E(HN)? i want to have some fun with it, while keeping it entirely "above board" legally-speaking, software-hacker-speaking, ethically-speaking, and common-sense-speaking.

oh, and i really like memes. expect a lot of them here. let's get creative with it.

It then scans a database for the face and matches it to stored payment details in order to complete the transaction.

The top FX-8350 model excels in heavily multithreaded workloads and is particularly quick at compiling code. Single-threaded performance isn't so hot, though, and the chip is a bit of a power hog.
