Show HN: FREE React Native app development incl. custom natuve UI components
Hey, i got recently laid off as part of budget relocation and i miss working with React Native. I have no idea what to build but I can build anything you can dream up.

Here is some of my work:

Http://youtube.com/user/idibidiart

I am hereby offering $1 total cost of app development to those interested with these conditions:

1. I get to pick which idea proposal to work on

2. The code will be open source, MIT license, and I will own copyright so this is not for commercial apps, just for those who want to test out React Native and those who have a fun or useful app idea and want to see it in the app store.

3. The app will be free to users (non commercial)

I'm basicalkh bored and really wanting to work with React Native again and looking for people with ideas and who are curious

Any and all stupid comments will be ignored :)

Thanks,
I believe this is a pretty common thing based on personal experience.

"The addition of 121 gigawatts of solar and wind globally (also a record) means that roughly half of new electricity generating capacity installed last year was in these two technologies."

That's impressive. Much of that is in China, which is adding capacity. The US and EU have about as much generating capacity as they need.
Ask HN: Trying to give away free food. What are creative ways to reach people?
Background: Without going too into detail, I created a company called Lunchspread (NYC) that sends free food samples from restaurants to local office workers. We have a lot of restaurants signed and ready to send samples, but it has been harder than expected to sign up office workers ("sign up" meaning filling out a form including email address). We are literally trying to give away free food.

Other than obvious answers (like get press), what creative strategies would you use to sign up as many office workers as possible?

An example strategy we used was scraping LinkedIn for all company domains in our area, then crawling all emails online associated with that domain. Cold emailing office workers got us about 2-3K signups.

Thanks!
If you aren't aware of Zepto ( http://zeptojs.com/ ), you should check it out -- it exists to serve this purpose.
I guess some people might be approaching this from a place of entitlement and justification like you say.

But you should consider that my experience is most people view the idea that some for-profit entity owns culture or can tell them that it's immoral to share media with each other to be laughable.

Like if HN decided that any criticism of products posted here was unacceptable and someone called those who still posted constructive criticism "entitled".

I'm not saying it's that simple, but understanding the viewpoint will help you understand what's going on.
And unless you have dozens or hundreds or thousands of acres, you can't subdivide it effectively. Let's say your property is worth $100,000. How do you get only $50,000 worth of value out of it? You have to sell the whole thing, do you then convert the remaining $50k to some other real estate? I suppose you can take out a second (third/fourth/fifth) mortgage on it for the desired value, but then you're stuck paying back that loan. So the property hasn't really provided you any direct value, just collateral to back your debts.

It's a value store, but hardly a currency.
I'm glad it did! What an entertaining year it was!
> I don't know when everybody got so entitled

I'm trying to think of a time when people were not happy to consume whatever content was available to them. The history of media technology has been the history of people duplicating works other people wished they wouldn't. Historically many famous authors had their copyrights ignored an unauthorized works distributed.

> go through whatever means necessary

That's a melodramatic way of describing "google it, click the first likely result, click a button, wait a few minutes".

> it boggles my mind how comfortably everybody seems able to justify it

In this case we're talking about people not being allowed to purchase content. This isn't a dirty hippy waving an "information wants to be free" sign, it's a frustrated professional being told their money is no good if they want to watch the new Game of Thrones season everyone is talking about. I'm not saying they're right, but it's not hard to see how they're able to internally justify it.

I'm currently in a small non-US country, and I have a US netflix subscription that goes through a proxy, which my girlfriend, in particular, adores. If Netflix forces us onto the very mediocre local version, my girlfriend will be upset. And she's going to torrent the shows she wanted to watch so she can follow the developments and talk about them with her friends in the states. Does that boggle your mind? Is the a terrible entitled person? Maybe. But I think it's pretty universal.
Erm...

* QE was tremendously inflationary for all asset prices, including real estate prices which are not called "consumer prices" but it's not that easy to buy the argument behind it. Certainly for a lot of folks, real estate is their biggest expense, and it's very frightening to rent and not buy while housing prices go up all around you and you try to guess how far the cost of owning will become detached from the cost of renting. We can call people scared into buying overpriced houses "investors", but to me it's a bit of a stretch.

* Grandparent calls real estate, of all the asset classes inflated by QE, the new currency.

* You then, without agreeing with the grandparent, say QE isn't inflationary, as "understood" by many economists long ago. But if we stop calling houses "currency", is QE really not inflationary then? (I seriously don't think I fully understand it, BTW... So an honest question.)
It runs badly on my 8gb 2013 MacBook Air, on a medium sized php+javascript project.

I've been trying Atom every 3 months since it came out. Just a few plugins and Linting and is still very slow and I hate lag while typing.

I don't have this problem with Sublime, for example, where typing is instant. Even eclipse and Android studio are more responsive when typing.
Is a union type (at least in Haskell/Rust) structured like a union in C, where alternative types of values (e..g. int, float, char) occupy the same bytes, just not at the same time? Or is separate space allocated for the different types of values? Asking because, if a function returns a union type, with one type within it representing an integer (which can have any value), and if the function also wants to return an error condition, then no valid integer value can be used to indicate the error, because all integer values are valid return values from the function. In this case I would think that a union type should have separate space allocated for the integer value and the error-signalling value. (Something like what golang does with its return values?)
The Happiness Code: Rationality and Self-Improvement
A very simple thing that I've been reporting to Instapaper for multiple times over a year now is fixing the GitHub support. I often save a lot of pages from GitHub to Instapaper (such as https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/docs/userguide/...) and it only saves the repository root link, so I usually end up losing that link entirely and it's pretty annoying.

I'm not sure how this article is supposed to make a paying user happy, it doesn't show any measurable metrics (neither any user should actually care about that, it should just work). I still wonder how hard adding a simple "if github then" check is.

Insurance levies aren't taxes because the state doesn't collect them. But their purpose is to subsidise the insurance industry.
There is not much that can go wrong while driving in a straight line at constant speed. The actions they take to get around you (braking, lane changes) create a great deal more opportunities for collision.

Speed doesn't kill, speed differentials do. You should not go drastically slower than the speed of traffic for the same reason you shouldn't go drastically faster than it.
hiding != taking away

Or put longer: hiding functionality with out actually taking away the need to manually interact with the function is a superficial design utility improvement.
I'm guessing they'll just block the biggest advertised "Netflix unblocker" services. So the technically literate will be unaffected.

> It's not entitlement to want to be able to participate in the dominant cultural trends (made dominant by consolidation and advertising).

That sounds pretty entitled to me.

Since when does one being able to talk about yesterday's Game of Thrones episode become some kind of divine "cultural right"?
It's hard to believe the 4 adversarial oil producing factions are going to actually compete to the bottom dollar forever in a truly free market.

So essentially we're just waiting for US frackers, Iran, Russia and the Saudis to collude and all make a killing at the old prices? Or do you think the seesaw effect will just be the way things are? I have a hard time believing that.
You can deadlock in purely message passing code, even if there are no blocking sends. See an example in Erlang: http://james-iry.blogspot.com/2009/04/erlang-style-actors-ar...

True... but by pulling jQuery from Google's CDN for example, you theoretically save page-load time anyway. If multiple sites pull from the same CDN, then it's already cached in the user's browser.
If you want 5% dividends in Australia, that's easy - Telstra (TLS.AX) is regularly at levels where you'll get a 5% dividend. Right now you'd get 5.8%. Motley Fool mentioned it a couple of months ago as well, and if you can make use of Franking Credits you'll get even more value out of it [1].

If you've got E-Trade, go into Quotes & Research -> Tools -> Basic Stock Filter and search by Yield > 8%. Today there's 66 results. Of course, you need to do your research: Dick Smith Electronics is supposedly offering 33.5% yield, but they've just gone bankrupt. Slater And Gordon at 13.95% yield have been hugely impacted by UK Regulatory changes in recent months.

You might look closer at BHP Billiton: (BHP.AX, 9.95%). One of the world's biggest mining operations, and the shares have tanked post-mining-boom. Surely they'll have to cut their dividend, but even if it was halved, it would still hit your 5% extremely-good-dividend level.

Other names I recognize are Seven West Media (SWM.AX, 10.44%) who own newspapers & television stations, but also have part-ownership of Netflix competitor Presto that is preloaded on Samsung televisions. Beyond International (BYI.AX, 9.09%) produce television shows like Mythbusters, and have had steadily increasing dividends over the years.

Anyway, that's the approach I've taken: it's usually about buying into well known companies that pay dividends that steadily grow over the years, at times when the share price has been hit so hard that the dividend yields become huge.

To yahoo: that seems like an unbelievably lame restriction. Even aside from commercial entities, there are many many people working to improve machine learning with no university affiliation.

You're basically taking something really cool here and shooting yourself in the knee with a shotgun.

I hope other companies don't think open data initiatives count if they're not actually open. If you want to keep your data internal and top secret, totally fine, but open data should be available to anyone or it doesn't count.

Almost yahoo, almost...

Edit:

>> I didn't see the word "open" mentioned once in this article...

Touché sir. Sentiment still stands: "released to researchers" and "released to the public" should not be different things.

Its more than just a yardstick for comparison. I know I want to be able to buy the things I want (whether that be going out to dinner more often, buying a new car at 5 years instead of 10, etc). If my salary isn't enough to do those things without major sacrifices elsewhere, then its at least as important a motivator to me as other things.
Important detail buried at the end: "...those who took the Super Cloud extended buyout offer were mostly nontechnical managers who would probably have been laid off anyway if they hadn't taken the offer."
People often ask me: "If there were no copyright law, how would studios earn money?"

They'd work on commission. They'd work on crowd-funded commission. If you want a movie made, you pay for it yourself. If you want to watch a movie that's already been made, why shouldn't that be free? The work has already been done and paid for.
I love Atom, but it along with Chrome it eats all my memory with just a few open files/tabs! Why would an editor and a thin (!) client use gigabytes of RAM?! Remember when computers had just 48KB of RAM and did great things?
I did like 14 courses over the years.

I understand what you mean with religious talks and I can understand your point of view. Tho, first, Goenka explicitly sates that whatever part of the theory, you don't like, take it out, as long as the practice is in tact. From a scientific point of view, the practice is tested to work very well. Only on my personal level, it works very well in alignment with the mental body-mind model I developed over the years, but it not a published scientific model, at least yet.

Unfortunately, that your physical model does not have a model for rebirth like information exchange does not mean there exists none. Hey, if you think in the standard model, your model has be proven to never predict absorption lines correctly apart from all the other problems it has. Not all 4 general believed facts on a black hole can all be true at the same time. Lots of unexplained phenomena even counterfactual.

The model I adopted explains general and special relativity, all known quantum mechanical effects, rules and energies and predicts some more, the periodic table, stable and unstable isotops, all chemical bonds, absorption lines, has a correct arrow of time, irreversible processes and is ultimately reversible, explains much more cosmological phenomena then your model, quasars, pulsars, binary pulsars, cepheids of type II, globular clusters, and and and

Uses much stricter energy conservation, stricter logic while having fewer assumptions.

And yes, it also has predicted phenomena not existing in your model at all, called ring photons. One or many photons entangled with: start<->end, building a very stable ring with 2 bits of information. Those can build up loop in loop structures encoding very dense informations in a very quite stable structure. And know what, those rings are predicted to be emmited in 3 amino acids we humans use, so - I see things a bit different now, scientifically :)

But I don't see those fields as some indestructible object, and more like fragments that flow around. But without understanding the model it will not make much sense for you.
> force additional costs on energy companies, who are already scrambling to lay people off in the face of low oil prices

The aim is exactly for no one to work for greenhouse gas-producing energy companies, when there are no more greenhouse gases.

Also, they successfully and gradually implemented serious taxes on oil in Europe during the post-oil crisis period, when people had gotten used to high prices. It can be done.
NSDateFormatter – Proceed with Caution
The things I find much more interesting is why we expect the opposite, and the nature of the political mess that stops us from using the best clean energy solution we have.

I'm convinced the only real problem here is keeping people happy in a really superficial way.
It's probably more complicated than that, because I assume there are places in the world where you can legally ignore someone trying to enforce such claim where they are outside of such jurisdiction.
What I meant was that the dynamics have changed. A local buying house is different from a non-resident buying the property solely as an investment.

It gives off a different price signal.

I don't necessarily think the threat is "rights-holders suing Netflix for a negligently insufficient blocking system", but instead right-holders keeping their content away from Netflix if there's no working mechanism to restrict the content to the geographic region they negotiated.

In the end the right holders sell their content multiple times, often even multiple times within a single market. Now if everybody in the world can get US Netflix content the right-holders are the ones who will have problems selling content in other markets.
Trying to access the documents ... they are not public domain, open licensed, nor indexed. And scientific papers should all be available to the public especially when funded with public money so should the data. Privatizing public funded work is theft of the people.

I do not trust any kind of expert or "wise people" that want me to trust them without having access to their so called wisdom.

I do not hear the "necessity is evil but we have to live with it". If people are not willing to prove their worth to the community and being scrutinized they should gracefully resign and admit they are not fit for the mission. This coward attitude is disgusting from people having a corporation that protect the security of their job based on ethic.

And last but not least, they should not spend money of others resulting in the slavery of public debts if they cannot give tokens that -at least- they did their bests in terms of means to achieve their goals.

People with powers should accept to be liable for their actions : it is called responsibility.

People definitely underestimate Soundcloud. I'm an Apple Music subscriber and I'll be moving to Soundcloud as soon as their new service begins. There's tons of content on there you can't get anywhere else. Not just mixes, but demos and legitimate pre-releases from the artists themselves. Out of all the music streaming services, Soundcloud is the only one that gets "social" right.
Not so unrelated since he links to it right in the second paragraph :)
It's not even requisite to understand the technology, but to understand how people live their lives. People expect a certain amount of privacy. Hell, as you mention even the law already acknowledges the need for confidentiality.
Content producers tend to want to distribute their products for as wide an area as possible, which means needing to negotiate exclusivity rights with the providers of certain countries. As such, netflix can't negotiate with the content providers to gain rights, because the providers already sold those rights to other parties. Good streaming services are a relatively new phenomena, and as such, it's going to take a while for content providers to renegotiate deals to provide the content for the newer definition of what the widest area of distribution is.

So, in short, blame the local distribution entities as much as the content producers for not providing streaming services for the content they have the right to broadcast at this point in time.
AZ is mentioned as either mountain time or pacific time in the post.

That was the general wisdom back in the late 70's but the reality now is we have found WAY WAY more carbon based fuel sources than we ever thought could be captured. Updated global estimates for oil are somewhere between 50 and 250 years and most estimates (other than those by left leaning not for profits) estimate 100 to 180 years worth of coal.

> So when you speed up travel inside a metropolitan area (from suburb to city/other suburb), what you do is that you incite people to live further and further away from their workplace and from the stores they patronize.

I don't understand this point. Living further away doesn't mean they stop patronizing stores entirely, they just patronize different stores. If a store sees their clientele move, they can either move themselves, or if both regions now have enough customers to support it expand to another location.
doesn't this encourage the bad practice of doing large commits containing multiple things instead of independent and discrete changes?

i guess its still very useful if you are working somewhere where that bad practice is enforced.
