It's interesting to watch how, in a big tech project, a director or architect will occasionally start using a word like "corpus", "idempotent", "assert", etc. and it will trickle down the layers of the team. By the time the keypunch guy is using it, it's gone out of fashion, like last year's suit.
I'm sure this is controversial for me to say, but we can pay for a basic income by printing money and handing it out. The government likely won't even think to do this because it's so counter-intuitive.

By creating our own currency, we can be the ones to "print" the money and hand it out.

"Are you protestant/catholic" would suffice. Lots of people in the US support Trump. Lots of people in NI are either protestant or catholic, and it's a shorthand for the sides of the same political divide that the IRA is involved in.
And because they can have multiple carriages you have more entry/exit points.

Having more entrances/exists is important if you have a lot of people who wish to travel in wheelchairs, or while pushing buggies with babies. This reduces the time it takes people to board/leave, and helps iron out delays caused by multiple busy stops on a route.

There are a million things that influence performance to a greater degree than the ISA. However, there's no reason to believe you can't make a perfectly good high-performance RISC-V processor. In my own benchmarking of ARM, x86, and RISC-V CPUs, I've found bigger differences between different GCC compiler versions than between ISAs themselves.

Good point. Escrow gets released if both parties submit approvals. If there is a dispute, videos of what was done are submitted to independent mediator who has final say (reviewed in house as well). The customer objecting will have to pay a small fee to object which is refunded with escrow if they are correct. Thanks for comment.

Many (most?) people can get into whatever the main land grant/public research university that exists in their respective state, even more so after a year of community college. In general, almost all of these schools offer a good quality education, especially if you avoid degree-mill majors (e.g. communications, psych, history, economics, etc...) and choose any critical thinking degree (STEM, Philosophy, maybe English/Lit).

If you aren't going to meet that bar, then it's probably not worth it to go to college because you're probably not going to learn much.

Bezos Letter to Shareholders 2016
As an interesting illustration of this idea, RuneScape (a popular freemium MMORPG) has done just this: they split up into the modern game and "Old School" (OSRS) which is based on the game in 2007. Some people heavily prefer one or the other, and by now the communities feel very distinct.

I don't know exactly how well it's working out for them. Now they have two games to support and promote, with about the same number of users. This number might (likely?) be higher than if they had stuck to providing a single game, but I'm not sure. It's hard to tell.

There seems to be some business risk to doing this. Apart from possibly cannibalizing your main product, it also requires two teams to support and run the two games. If you actually want the experience on the old-style server to be at all stable or compelling, you'll have to put some time and energy into them—it's more than just running the server.

Honestly, I have no idea if what RuneScape did was the right move, but it's a really interesting case study.
Stripe has fraud prevention built in. How is their service deficient?

Also, it sounds like these rules need to manually be set up, rather than having an out-of-the-box system that just works. Is this right? Do us merchants need to understand fraud patterns to make use out of this?

Finally, aside from the geo ip which may require an API call, what's stopping someone writing a free library that does the same thing? What's your differentiator?
What do you solve that a Google search doesn't?

I guess it must ignore proper names, like Trump and Randall, detected by capitalization.
A lot of commenters are suggesting a server that runs old patches, like Jagex and RS. This is essentially the definition of cannibalization and almost never a good idea. IMO Jagex only got away with it because they explicitly released a new version of the game that was totally different. Unless WoW's next expansion is WoW 2.0 with totally different mechanics, I don't see them hosting an old server.

Here are the details about the solution:
The app will ask users to select 1) Friends they want to go out with 2) Choose a datetime that they like to suggest 3) Select a place from list of places shown by the app based on interest(food, entertainment, activities etc). The app then notifies selected friends via notification(if they already are a user) or sms(first time invite). The others in the hangout can suggest their own place/datetime and also say yes/no for the invite.

Due to the decisive nature of the app(yes or no) and no chat will result in much faster and decisive planning. Also the app will broadcast location updates to the users of the hangout along with ETA for a certain period of time at the decided time of hangout.
Yup. I was just thinking how inexpensive $500 sounded. Will they work with hydrogen peroxide based solution or do I need to upgrade?

I'm having trouble visualizing the economics of this. Why would I spend maybe 30 minutes trying to earn $2?

Could you do this with much larger rewards for fewer advertisers? eg CocaCola will reward $1000 to somebody who makes a great coke-drinking selfie video. The incentives are aligned for creators and for the advertiser. For only $1000 they get a bunch of user-created content and the user gets a nice little windfall.
There are a few different ways we can build our USD reserves, but the primary one is through a crowd investment system that I've devised.

Investors will be purchasing, at a pre-negotiated discount, GD to be delivered at a future date. I call them "Future Gresham Dollars." Investors can sell their FGD to other investors in a secondary market to profit early or they can hold them until we succeed and reap their exact pre-negotiated returns.

We actually don't need to obtain more USD than the GD we're handing out. The phase during which we're backed by USD is only temporary. If we succeed, then GD is the coin of the realm and USD has become obsolete. The profits we generate (and the returns to our investors) will be in GD.

If we fail, the investors get nothing, which is normal.

Of course, we'd need measures in place to ensure that we don't abuse our power as the world's monetary authority. We shouldn't be allowed to create new money just to make ourselves and our friends rich.
Um... There are year-long-wear soft contacts for well below $500.
Thats a pretty new angle. I think the key is to make good quality messages somehow more valuable than mass messaging. Real currency is def one way to do so but might be a little too aggressive. One idea that I commented here was to only allow certain free messages. If your quality and response rate is at par then you pay less for extra messages otherwise more.
It would be a streamline AIA arbitration agreement. Angie's List and the other websites have fees in order to get leads. When you get a lead, you are one of multiple leads and you are charged whether or not you get the job. Here the contractor has the fee extracted from the payment he is receiving. If the initial estimate is wrong, the contractor can change estimate (joint approval). As the company developed, a method would be instituted to evaluate the percentage of time/amount a contractor sticks to original bid. Thanks for commenting.

Hello Rayalez!

I appreciate your initiative and drive to building a great platform for fiction. I would love to know how you would differentiate fictionhub.io from other services such as http://wattpad.com.
Any writer would love to reach more audiences and i feel this is what made medium.com a hit among bloggers. Taking this into consideration wattpad.com has 50,000,000 to 100,000,000 android app installs.( taken from their android app page). This means that there are more people who might read my stories. So why would i share my stories in fictionhub than in wattpad?

I think facebook events is more catered towards events i.e weddings, parties etc and not the weekly casual hangouts we do with our friends. Moreover I haven't met a lot of users who actually use it despite it being around for a long time.

About your question, the user doesn't have to enter any information for ETA. The app calculates that based on the hangout destination and your current location.

Excellent work; gorgeous website! Congratulations on the release.
Hi.. I just posted about our solution in the comments section.
Seems cool.
After many years on node, and even writing a deployment service once (paastor) - just plain VPS, nar to make an executable, then scp onto an Ubuntu server, and scp a logrotate and upstart conf - that's all you need man.
I keep revisiting this idea myself. I figured a suitable prototype would just let you :

* Create a profile.

* Record where you've worked.

* Post small "updates". Which would be visible to "connections".

That would be the core of the service and the job-hunting stuff would be kinda-seperate.

The problem is twofold: scaling and getting users. If you have no users then the system is futile (I setup a dating site once, which struggled due to lack of users. You join? No users in your city? Never return). On the other hand if you suddenly have 50,000 users you system will struggle if you're doing it on the cheap with a simple virtual machine. You need to plan for rapid scalability but assume you'll get none.
Thanks for the kind words.

Q) What is the incentive for your enterprise customers to pay?

A) We have a few enterprise customers we're working with in which they want to take certain parts of our technology and roll it into their internal infrastructure or their own product offerings.

As for where the market will pan out, APIs are becoming more and more prevalent. Companies are starting to charge to access their APIs rather than just make them open to do whatever Developers want. So I don't see APIs going away anytime soon. Whether that's 10 years, 15, etc I really don't know. I believe they'll become more important as we roll into the new realm of VR and IoT.

Q) While building your company, you will develop talent and technology in house that might prove to be more valuable than the product you offer. If this happens, what possible avenues do you see to take your company into more diverse markets? What can you potentially get into?

A) This one is tough to answer because it's a huge hypothetical. Overall we want Brightwork to become a trustworthy platform that makes the development process more efficient and more accessible. Programming is the new literacy and we want Brightwork to be the platform that Developers trust can scale their solutions quickly and reliably.

Q) Do you plan to build an maintain a developer ecosystem around your product? If yes, what do you imagine it will look like?

A) Absolutely! We are setting the pieces together today to build out our Developer Evangelist program. We've all seen other companies do this well and their solutions end up being the "go to" technology. We want Brightwork to be built for and by the Developer Community.

Q) Five years from now, how will you keep your documentation in order keeping in mind that APIs that plug into brightwork will keep changing, be fluid, and not support all international languages that you may have to support for your enterprise customers?

A) We do this by staying ahead of this today and not putting ourselves in a position to fall behind or create documentation that provides no value. I'm a firm believer in more information is better. Today, we're putting together the documentation infrastructure to ensure we can quickly deploy incredible and accurate docs that are meaningful and valuable to the Developer Community.

Q) Are you familiar with the npn and kik stories recently? How would you have handled it assuming you operated strictly under the values you have set for Brightwork?

A) Not specifically familiar with what happened here. Might need some context.

Thanks!
Thanks for the question buss!

Duplication and measurement of learning strategies comes from a few different metrics, with a combination of data and meta data. Mainly being individual student metrics (grades, attendance, assignments turned in on time, ect). We then use a training group of assignment variables that teachers can include into there class structure. (group assignments, instead of asking students to make flash cards give them flash cards to study with, timed in class assignments, ect). Its using additional variables to measure stability, failure likelihood, and projected difficulty levels. Our goal is within the first 6 months after launch we can provide the teachers with tools to create assignment convertors based on learning styles.

We hope to improve on indv student grades by getting micro with it and measuring the output variables. (difficulty, stability, indv student metrics(grades)).

Teacher feedback is macro class view, with micro error markers for "problem students." Our AI will be using predictive analytics to project future assignment scores and the aggregate assignment connection weight. Tailoring learning style to the testing group mean (class). Pointing to problem areas for the class that are critical for future assignments/quizes/tests.
Everyone seems very worried about entrepreneurs ‘gaming’ the system and it somehow not being fair. Ability to game the system might however be correlated with success at building a company. I don’t know if this is true or not but top quality investors are probably open to the possibility: I know all other things being equal I’d rather invest in someone able to mobilize upvotes/their community than someone who can’t do that as that's correlated with ability to generate inbound traffic/attention.

More interesting to me though with all this is what it say’s about the future of scaling YC. YC’s mission is to enable innovation, and funding more startups hopefully leads to more innovation. The full YC program, already spread across two demo days, is probably close to the limits of how many startups can be funded in one go. The Fellowship, by being virtual, is much more scalable but one of the key bottlenecks is always going to be reviewing applications – this experiment could help remove that bottleneck. (another bottleneck I see is office hours, but getting sci-fi for a moment maybe YC research can develop a chatbot for that one day!).
My post was not about getting a good quality education. In fact, my contention is that getting a good education is less relevant than the specific school and major one chooses. For a software developer just out of college, an EECS degree from Berkeley is going to beat a degree in (say) math, physics, or robotics from Podunk State, all else being equal. And, all else is rarely equal, because the Berkeley grad is going to have a way better network than the Podunk State grad.
Apply HN: Polymyr – Bring Your Product to Life

Consumer reviews are preferred by a 3-to-1 margin over press reviews. Polymyr capitalizes on that and is a social product testing/launch platform that offers hardware startups valuable user experience insights by incentivizing our members, through rebates which you decide upon, to test and review your product. We aim to significantly improve the current launch process by giving new products superuser-level reviews right from the start.

For example, Product X is currently retailing for $199, our members will buy it for its full price, they'll see how much of a rebate they'll receive after they submit their product review, we collect and analyze all their reviews on our platform, send Company X all the reviews, and provide recommendations based on those reviews. For each unit sold, we only ask for a small commission.

In summary, we help you promote and sell your product, reach new audiences, collect valuable consumer insights, and give you recommendations.

Apply HN: Visage – Fully Automated Makeup Application
The makeup industry is ripe for change. Currently makeup is being applied the same way it always has - with brush, pen and applicator pad. Now imagine a device that automatically applies makeup. Cut makeup time from 30 minutes to 30 seconds. Users will be able to choose from thousands of colors, shades and products for their ultimate customized look. Makeup artists can create and sell digitized looks for their fans to apply via a digital makeup store. Don't like a look? wipe it off and try another instantly. Having a tough time getting those eye wings right? Try with computer precision down to the millimeter! Tired of waiting while your partner takes 2 hours in the bathroom? They’ll still take two hours, but with this product, they'll have tried dozens of looks instead of struggling with one.

How do we do this? Facial recognition software, reverse kinematics, airbrushes and custom applicators. Our software will analyze a user’s face using proprietary algorithms, enabling a preview of the applied makeup customized specifically to the individual user’s features via our smartphone app. A user may then edit and fine tune their look to perfection and store it on their device for later use - and even share it with their friends!

We firmly believe that this idea is both technologically feasible and inherently marketable. With strong community support and the help of industry experts, we intend to challenge the traditional methods of cosmetics application while placing the power of precision styling in the consumer’s hands, all at a fraction of the time and cost of conventional techniques.
Stripe fraud prevention in my experience and my friends does not do much. It does not allow you exclude ips, countries, or trivial technology based fraud signals.

Great question Buss.
We do both. We help brands to pick from our curated list of challenges or they come up with their own. It takes less than 30 seconds for a user to complete the challenge and win the reward.Brands can also buy the content created by the user by paying them for it. We end up getting a % on the reward and if the brands want to buy the content we get a cut as well. It's a win-win for the user, brand and us.
It's more important to know what's relevant than what's true.
That was a fascinating case. The photographer lost in the initial round, but won 2 appeals, and then the hall of fame gave up after that. Imagine if you could prevent people of taking pictures of buildings. Then you couldn't take a picture of downtown cities, you'd have to negotiate with all those building owners! If you search for the above case (Gentile vs Rock and Roll Hall of Fame), then you find the famous Sydney Opera House tried to keep iStockPhoto from having a picture. That doesn't seem to have gone to trial, but a law professor thought it wouldn't hold up in court.
Compressed air storage is only as efficient as the insulation on the storage reservoir. Without insulation, the heat generated by the compression process is lost, and much of the stored energy goes along with it. This drives up the cost of building efficient compressed air storage systems, but there are several projects underway that are attempting to find cost-effective solutions to this problem.
