I would love to be able to find something outside of my college town, however I do not know where to look. What is the best way to start this process?

Virgin.com - Are hackers the new rockstars?
http://www.virgin.com/entrepreneur/blog/are-hackers-the-new-rockstars
App Developers make more money than Doctors and Lawyers globally, according to an infographic commissioned by the Application Developers Alliance and designed by infogr8.

Why?

It so happens that many of those ‘app developers’ happen to be the core participants of what is now known as the hackathon, hackfest, or hackday. And they are proud to call themselves Hackers.

They are at the helm of an industry we call the app market which was worth £3.5bn in 2011, and is expected to grow tenfold to £30.5bn by 2016.

How much should I charge clients?
http://kevinboss.net/website-design/how-much-should-i-charge-my-clients-2
If finding questions with a lot of different answers made me money, this question would be a goldmine. It seems every freelancer has their own formula for determining how much to charge. Rightly so - as your price can make quite an impact on your business. If you charge too much you’ll be less competitive, and if you charge too little you aren’t going to make money. Most freelancers charge their clients by either an hourly rate or a fixed “per project” or “per item” rate. Regardless of which method works better for you, it’s a good idea to establish an hourly rate that is going to keep your head above the water. You can then use this rate as a basis to establish fixed-rate prices.

High Availability of Your Expectations
http://blog.newvem.com/main/2011/11/high-availability-of-your-expectations.html
The Service Level Agreement (SLA) discussion puts penalties and compensations on the table. Can we say that the compensation method the customer expects is the same as the Software as a Service (SaaS) vendor's SLA provides?

A while ago, I experienced issues while starting up a specific instance on Amazon AWS cloud. I’m still not sure why, but the instance entered an endless restart loop. All the application deployment work (installation and configuration of a service) we did on it for about two weeks just went down the drain. Discussion with the Amazon AWS support team ended with an escalation of the support request to their head of support.

MediaTemple sending phishing-like emails from "securepay.net" to new domain regs
http://unterbahn.com/2014/05/phishing-like-emails-from-mediatemple/
MediaTemple is standing by their policy of requesting email verification from a suspicious-looking 3rd-party email address -- for any new domain registrations.

New registrants receive an email message from "securepay.net" but claiming to be from MediaTemple, requesting email verification with a large "Click here to verify" button, in what looks like a phishing attempt.

Their email abuse team, support desk, and Knowledge Base all confirm that this intentional and claim that their legal and security teams have "vetted" this policy, and encourage users to click the button or have their domains deactivated.<p>The policy is apparently a very poorly managed attempt to comply with new ICANN requirements as of January 1st.

In both my gmail and Microsoft exchange email I have been getting close to no spam over the last week and a half or so.

It seems odd that it timed up with a lot of places slowly (or quickly) shutting down and having people stay home. Just wondering if other people have seen this happening.

Free Cost Optimization Tool for Amazon Web Services (AWS) Users
http://www.cm-inc.com/solutions/act/
Hello HN community members!

Hope you all are doing well! I'm a part of the cloud solutions team at Chouinard & Myhre, Inc. (CMI), an enterprise IT and cloud solutions provider based in Mill Valley.

Over the past few years, many of our customers have moved workloads to AWS. While it’s a great platform and a clear market leader right now, we’ve repeatedly heard a few concerns:

• ‘AWS has become too expensive!’
• ‘We lack control and visibility of the usage in our organization’
• ‘Our statement is so complex, we don’t understand what we’re being billed for’
• ‘We need to get away from paying with credit card, and we need to track usage to the correct department’

We are pleased to announce a new FREE tool for our clients to address these issues and provide the following benefits:

• Consolidate billing across the organization
• Track and analyze usage to find cost savings
• Create governance for better controls
• Invoice using Net 30 terms versus credit card payments
• Save an average of 20-30% on their monthly spend

If you’d like to see how this free tool can work for your organization I can schedule a demo, come to your office, or host you at our office in Mill Valley. The demo is super straightforward and would not take up too much of your time!

Thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from you (my contact information is below)!

Student-built ship inspection robot hopes to save maritime industry $$
http://robohub.org/students-hope-their-ship-inspection-robot-will-significantly-reduce-dry-dock-time-for-maritime-transport-industry-improve-safety-for-inspectors/
A team of students from ETH Zurich and ZHdK have developed a prototype for a robotic ship inspection unit that is capable of conducting visual inspections of ship ballasts. Ballast inspection – which involves navigating hard-to-reach spots with no line of sight, often in the presence of intense heat, humidity, and hazardous gases – is normally done by human inspectors, and represents a significant cost to ship-owners who must pay for dry-docking and who face lost income when they cannot operate their ships during the inspection period. Because robotic ship inspection can occur while the ship is in operation, it could significantly reduce dry-dock time. The Ship Inspection Robot (SIR), which was developed in conjunction with Alstom Inspection Robotics and which uses magnetic wheels to navigate the I-beams and other awkward obstacles found inside ship ballast, is relatively compact and does not require any cables for power or communication, and thus offers significant mobility improvements over other robotic ship inspection prototypes. Project leaders anticipate that a per unit production cost could be as low as €4K, enabling shipping companies to operate several units in parallel as an additional time-saving measure.

Ask HN: How to get started with mining repositories?
It seems there aren't any general purpose tools for mining software repositories. I realize the lack of publicly available tools stems from this being such a broad field (e.g., are you analyzing commit logs? analyzing how the AST changes over time? or something else?)

Are there any standard tools for this or must I reinvent the wheel?

Things that suck about new Google Reader
http://bugnplay.tumblr.com/post/12191299749/things-that-suck-about-new-google-reader
- I can’t no longer access old shared items from my friends.

- There used to be an option to share a folder or a tag. If you do this, you get public url for that folder or tag that you can access to. This was useful to me because I could tag posts with tag (tag that was already shared publicly), and by doing it I’m sharing post on my special atom public feed. I might use that tag to read it later on the phone, or pull that feed on some web page. Google Reader was a publishing tool, now it’s Google+ only publishing tool.

I’ll probably find more stuff missing along the way.

Ask HN: What is causing this bug in HN?
This may be old news to you, but there seems to be a bug in the comments count being displayed.

I was looking at an old news item that was on HN, and it was pushed way back. When I did get to the article (the item was in the 14 hundreds..), I noticed that the # of comments is displayed incorrectly - the number of comments is missing completely.

https://img.skitch.com/20101221-b5rea4wjxxkgqpyp2mst3ekswc.jpg

That question does have a bunch of comments..

https://img.skitch.com/20101221-8m4b9ffd8a9kuyjaaw8jnaiy1y.jpg

I am suspecting that the count function that counts the comments is slow in responding? Could this happen because the DB is taking too long to get the results back? Note that I did not find the counts to be incorrect - it just does not show up.

Show HN: A somewhat old-fashioned programming language
https://github.com/chkas/easylang
easylang is a rather minimalistic simple programming language. Because of the clear syntax and semantics it is well suited as a teaching and learning language. Functions for graphic output and mouse input are built into the language.

The language is written in C and is open source. Main target platform is the web browser using WASM. However, it also runs natively in Windows and Linux.

The one-pass parser and compiler is quite fast. In the Web IDE, each time the Enter key is pressed, the program is parsed and formatted up to the current line.

The AST interpreter is fast, much faster than CPython for example.

The language is statically typed and has as data types numbers (floating point) and strings and resizeable arrays. Variables are not declared, the type results from the name (number, string$, array[]).

Uses: Learning language, canvas web applications, algorithms.

For example, I solved the AdventOfCode tasks with easylang.
