Hi everyone, I'm Hussein, the CEO of Transpose. Thanks for the feedback, positive and negative.

The idea behind Transpose is the lack of options between something as simple and ubiquitous as note taking apps like Evernote and fully fledged database solutions like FileMaker and Access.

What we found out from our research is the a lot of use cases and critical applications should have been built on a database if it was feasible, affordable, cloud based and anyone can build without the need of hiring a software house or even dedicating an enterprise IT department to build something from scratch. People have been tracking orders, leads, assets and even critical project planning on various apps including even Evernote which is not designed for those use cases.

With Transpose we are also tackling the growing epidemic of having a dozen of different apps all stitched together somehow duplicating the data across and demanding the team to learn and use each one of them just to visualize information differently; like Trello on boards, spreadsheets in table form, notes just for ease and cross platform functionality. We shooting high aiming to disrupt and fix that as well. If the data is structured and we extract all this extra metadata on top of that automatically so why not utilize your data and get as much value out of it?

Here is a quick intro video on Transpose https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfKeTljl5ro

We have all sort of amazing technology working seamlessly behind the scene. Text Analytics, Entity Extraction, Voice Transcription, OCR on images, Filtering by fields, sorting syncing online and offline with a native iOS app and a new Android app coming out next week. You can see your data in multiple views, plot it on Calendar, see it as an editable spreadsheet, or even on an interactive Kanban board. There are more than 20 patents in many areas technological and UI its all BY DESIGN blends in to be invisible.

I do agree though, its really hard to put what we are doing and describe it in one sentence. I love Peter Theil's talk at the Launch where he articulated EXACTLY the situation we are in now.. what category shout that FIT in? what is that like? who direct competition do we have? You can see that segment https://youtu.be/ryFB6mvy4uE?t=34m49s and Claire from our team just wrote a piece on Huffington Post about our "Peter Thiel Problem".

We grew from 0 to 100,000 users viraly with ZERO dollars in Marketing. Awesome Makers create templates to solve every single problem you can think of and then they share that template with their followers to clone a copy and they also invite collaborators (typically co-workers) to work on a shared template data set feeding new data and manipulating it.

Would love your feedback and thanks again everyone! You can also feel free to reach me directly by email (hussein@transpose.com) would love to hear from y'all!

P.S. We are re-working the homepage completely to be 100% visual to SHOW what we offer instead of just trying to ramble and try to explain it in words...

quesera's reply points-out just how bad it is, but even for just 775 root:admin I would have to use sudo (plus edit the sudoers or /usr/bin/login -p first) anyway:

$ /usr/bin/env -i /bin/sh -c \
'id | grep -lw admin >/dev/null && echo admin || echo non-admin'
non-admin

The problem is I have no problem using sudo, but homebrew does (like it wants make all to happen as me).
I don't know.

You have to cast your lot with one of the 3 when you start leasing digital material. I went with Amazon for the belief they would be neutral when it came to hardware. Over the last year they have chosen to be protective.

I won't cancel prime since I enjoy the benefits, but it is a pita. What it really comes down to is less digitial video leased for me.

No. The only requirement is a "dominant" player. https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/anticompetitive-practices

This is the reason why Microsoft and Google have both been investigated for anti-competitive behavior even though neither one of them was a monopoly.

The Sherman Act prohibits using a dominant position in one area as leverage to exclude competitors in the same or different area.

In other words, a dominant player has to play (more than) fair in any new markets.

I say "more than" because if Amazon was not so dominate in ecommerce this behavior would be perfectly fine.
Because Apple will not have difficulty fulfilling orders for its products on the Internet itself, I doubt anyone could claim Amazon is in violation of the rule of reason: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_antitrust_law#Ru...

That said, this is only true of companies like Apple, who already have access to favorable terms to resources like UPS, etc. I think the much more important question is whether Amazon will assume this privilege with other companies and markets that will be adversely affected by such policies.

I think Amazon has little to gain in trying to boost its sales by reducing the competition of Apple on its own web site store. What they have to loose is the faith that people have invested in Amazon in being a market creation and fair access vehicle.

If companies cannot help keep the Internet open and available to all, then they're going to have to shut up later when they are riddled with regulations, tort and legal bills. Not to mention the obvious ire of their loyal customers (myself among them).

I sure hope Amazon's web analytics pick up this comment :-) I won't give them the benefit of sending it to them directly. They obviously are more interested in their interests, not my interest in comparing devices directly on their web site.
Interesting. So lets think this through. If they want to make money on prime and streaming, selling competitors products that offer this should be no problem. Yet THEY refuse to put PrimeVideo on chromecast.

Seems like they are more interested in keeping their current customers of competitors platforms, than expanding their reach.

Seems dumb to me.
That's all I could think of here. Google and Apple have sufficient brand awareness that those who want to purchase these devices will be able to buy them just fine.

Unfortunately, those who want to purchase them through Amazon or would not have known about them outside of Amazon are now the ones that lose.

Seems very contrary to that leadership principle.
The relevant search terms are "SEME regions" and "non-lexical borrows". The tracking issue is here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/811 and https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/6393 is the older issue it superseded, with examples.

There hasn't been an RFC yet, because we're in the middle of a large amount of compiler internals work (HIR/MIR), which will make overall analysis easier, including these two features.

HN limits responses based on the depth of the comment tree and the length of time since the comment was posted, to discourage flamewars, you can always click on a comment link directly to kind of bypass that though.
We're talking specifically about the web application servers here. I wouldn't be surprised that something like Search is C++, it's one of the most visited pages in the world. But I haven't heard specifically that it is.

I don't think it's any secret that Java is huge Java users. If not web servers, then for what?

I think it's worthwhile not to put all our efforts into curing a particular cause of death. First because this doesn't necessarily increase quality of live for the elderly, which I think is hugely important. Secondly, because after a certain age all kinds of things break down and the current leading cause of death (eg cancer, heart-disease, alzheimer) is likely just an effect of general accumulation of damage in the body.
Dropbox has something futures-based ala Finagle that's built on mio. We'll be open sourcing it sometime soon-ish.
Type 2 is somewhat an opt-in disease, is it not?

What pisses me off is how much can be done to prevent it and how little people are willing to do so, especially when their genes can tell them point blank that they really ought to be doing something and doing it right now before the very bad thing happens that will negatively impact them forever.

Right, I definitely phrased it badly. Content blockers on iOS are very different than using a specific browser on Android though.
Proxying though abp and adguard has been a pain to set up in my experience. Though I have not done so recently.
I was unaware of minminguard, and will check it out later today, but again not a simple OS level solution like content blockers.
I found that by asking the seller to use the USPS instead of a courier company, I could avoid brokerage fees and sometimes even duty/import fees as well. Not all sellers will agree to use USPS, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

While I think you for the links, what's the use of the bracket notation if you're just putting the link on the same or next line? It's meant for footnotes, yes?
For product based small businesses I think $25/mo is pretty competitive.

UI/UX is pretty well designed, at least from what I can see in the free trial. I am a bit confused with the the hamburger menu on the top right and the Edit Store/Add Product tooltip placement. Behavior doesn't look intentional to me, it's oddly placed.
Which it would already have control of with root access.

I've always wondered if that was a regional variance. Since I live in Texas, I assume the prices of our grocery store staples are cheaper than they would be in, say, downtown New York City.

But if I lived in a more urban, city environment, where easy parking isn't a given and picking up groceries in a car is more a hassle, then the time savings of having Amazon deliver for close to the same price that I would pay in store is much more worth it.
Excuse me, why did someone just down-vote this? What kind of behavior is that?
If I were Google I would offer all customers a free license to any Amazon movies the customer already owns. A Mass exodus from Amazon to Google would subsequently ensue.

What's stopping Amazon from making Prime work on Chromecast? Even freebie apps in the Play Store stream just fine to Chromecast.

It's probably the case that if you are eating dark chocolate, you AREN'T eating sugary milky chocolate (or other candies), reducing your overall sugar intake.

* That isn't the case in this study, though, since the control group was instructed to eat NO chocolate. So, the dark seems to have a positive effect.
Amazon already has Prime Video apps on Android and iOS that would be subject to the same policies yet those apps show no sign of disappearing anytime soon. After this announcement, I have to believe that is only because Amazon does not have a viable alternative smartphone like it does for streaming devices.
Code Reviews Can Make or Break Your Team
Yes, and Alt+F4 will close whatever program your running, so we can just do away with the close button, right?
We changed the title from the misleading, linkbait one of the otherwise fine article. But if someone can suggest a better title (preferably a representative phrase from the article itself) we can change it again.

Good to see that. Hope more services will support it also soon.
I don't think that's the case because Prime Video is on Xbox and Playstation, where they instruct you to go to amazon.com to buy/rent videos. It could work exactly the same way on Apple TV. So why are they not on it?

It must be another reason... But what?
"Over the last three years, Prime Video has become an important part of Prime," Amazon said in the e-mail. "It’s important that the streaming media players we sell interact well with Prime Video in order to avoid customer confusion."
Are you saying that the article is wrong when it says that Amazon video worked, but poorly, on non-Sony TVs?
Apple and Google aren't doing anything, Amazon aren't making their services available on those platforms.
I was wondering about anti-trust issues too. Seems to be a pretty clear case of using dominance in one area (online shopping) to try and increase dominance in another area (online video streaming).

It can, in theory. In practice, there are some ports that actually need a full Xcode installation to build, and those would just fail without Xcode.

In an ideal world, there would be a dependency declared on Xcode for all those ports so MacPorts would work with command line tools only and fail gracefully whenever Xcode is required. However, that is currently not the case because nobody implemented an easy and automated way to tell whether a port will build fine without Xcode.
Unlike in the iTunes App Store, that restriction is only on items and subscriptions that can only be consumed inside the app. That's why Amazon can continue to sell music and Netflix can continue to sell subscriptions in their apps. There is nothing stopping Amazon from offering Prime Instant Video through the Play Store with no modifications.
Well, part of "real world usage" should also include whether any sensible user would want to use that feature, or if people turn it off because it looks funny.

From their short description of "motion lighting", it isn't obvious to me why this is a feature in the first place.
How is this different from suing Apple for not selling Chromecasts in Apple stores?
Education: show JavaScript examples with code the student can run.

Runbook: provide support staff executable blocks they can modify to record how they are fixing a support fire.

API docs: show off that NPM package you built with real examples the user can modify by putting in their own data.

FluoroFinder | Senior Software Engineers | Broomfield, CO | ONSITE full-time

https://www.fluorofinder.com/website/careers

FluoroFinder's tools save scientists countless hours and make designing experiments for Flow Cytometers easy. In the past, scientists would spend hours and days reading catalogs, figuring out if that marker or dye was compatible with their equipment. Now, it takes minutes when they use FluoroFinder.

Why join FluoroFinder? You will directly affect the speed at which cancer, disease, and HIV research progress. You will also get to work with a team that loves science and loves building awesome software. Most of all, you'll leave work knowing you accomplished something important.

Our platform is built with Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL. If you have a skill set that matches, contact me directly at jsutherland (at) fluorofinder dot com.
They really should be neutral about the products listed on their site) but the reason they gave is kinda ridiculous

Recall that they've also used the power of their catalog to fight publishers with whom they had pricing model disagreements (e.g. Hachette) by disallowing pre-orders of popular upcoming titles from those publishers.
I remember this! Couldn't put my finger on it when I was reading about the Stanford study earlier.

The new study, however, is a controlled one that raises mealworms strictly on styrofoam and compares their health to a control generation. It's more about the fact that they can digest styrofoam continuously and with no ill effects than that they can do it at all. After all, worms that die of plastic toxicity or something after a couple days (perhaps bc the bacteria wear themselves out) aren't a very effective solution.
> In many organizations this means you can develop on any OS/Platform you wish, and then deploy on whatever OS/Platform the ops team is currently running.

That's true of dynamic linking as well. Static linking just saves you the trouble of having to install the library dependencies on the server. But for ops that's a pretty tiny, if not non-existent gain. So I don't buy it.

When deploying to users it's a huge gain, so I do get that that for things like cli utils.
This is a very bad move for Amazon on all levels, i'm pretty sure this will be cancelled and some heads will fly.

I mean :

- They piss their customers

- They piss their merchants, probably killing some businesses along the way

- They instill fear in their potential merchants. I was vaguely thinking about selling stuff on amazon mind you, and worried a bit about being locked in. Well, those fears are much more real now.

- They piss google and apple, obviously. They're competitors of course but it's a bit of a harsh move, in fact it looks like a war declaration.

- They have a very special place as the biggest merchant on the internet, people watch them and some fear for good reason what they could become (like the only e commerce platform on the internet), and what it could mean in term of market manipulation opportunities. Well they just gave those guys lots of cookies.

- They lose sales, obviously

All that for what ? Well that's ... not clear.
I think this is a bit like Apple using Samsung SoCs. The consumer-facing parts of the business hate each other; the B2B units have a more reasonable view of each other.

You're a bit too over-focused on so trivial an issue. The game in question is a lone developer's personal side project and isn't even open-sourced yet. Don't jump to the conclusion that a codebase written for fun and developed in isolation has any bearing on that developer's professional capabilities.

Custora (YC W11) - http://www.custora.com - New York, NY - Engineering and Data Science

Marketing used to be an exercise in one-to-many communication: billboards, magazine ads, and - more recently - having a powerful social media presence. At Custora, we’re helping to turn this model on its head, using mountains of data to help our customers direct the right campaigns to the right users rather than blasting the same message to the largest audience possible.

We're growing quickly and looking to fill positions from Front-End Engineering to Data Science. We're analyzing data for well over 500,000,000 end customers, and this number is growing fast. We're building a marketing experimentation platform that's usable by entire marketing teams and we need your help to build new statistical models, to build the infrastructure to run those models, and to develop creative and intuitive ways of presenting our findings to our users.

Our job postings are at https://www.custora.com/careers. I'm more than happy to answer any questions and tell you more about us, so feel free to reach out to me at martin@custora.com.
