Show HN: Koncepted – premium design service
Hi guys! My name is Jan and I've been freelancing for over 7 years. I've been working with small startups, big firms and even worked on a bunch of side projects. I've always had a passion for design, but I wanted to slowly move my career into entrepreneurial waters. For a while, I've been trying to build every idea I had. And I had many. Until quite recently when I decided to focus on one single thing and grow it as much as I can.

I decided to build Koncepted. It's the next logical step for me and the design industry.

We all know how hard it is to find the perfect designer who understands what you want and delivers beyond what you ever wished for. And we also know how disappointing it can be to use crowdsourcing platforms that have thousands of freelancers, but they lack quality you're looking for.

That's where Koncepted comes in and combines the best of both worlds. It's an invite only group of super talented designers. Each one must show extraordinary skills to get in. We focus on quality and client experience.

I didn't want to create just another traditional agency or crowdsourcing site. Instead I used the good bits of all the amazing flows and interfaces I built in the past 7 years working as a freelancer and created a platform that delivers the best possible experience and designs for our clients. You’ll love using it! It’s quick, easy and designers always overdeliver with quality. It’s a platform that allows you to track your project, see what stage it is in and give direct feedback to new design changes.

I have plenty of new ideas and features I want to add, but I need you to help us grow by submitting some really awesome projects. It’s basically a win win. You get stunning designs and we get to improve the product so we can make it even better for the next time you come around asking us to design your new startup.

> Except that my opinion is formed based on logic and my expertise and your opinion is based on... what exactly?

The exact words from Google own privacy policy, and the fundamentals of how IP networking works?

> It should be noted this does not directly contradict what GP claims

I disagree with that interpretation. They specifically say that they use data collected:

"We also use this information to offer you tailored content – like giving you more relevant search results and ads."

When IP masking is enabled, Analytics removes the last octet of the user's IP address prior to its use and storage.
SO... yeah.

So that broadens the data to at-most, a 1 in 254 match based on IP address, taking User Agent strings and other browser information (plugins installed, window size, etc) I'd bet $100 they can still pinpoint a single device based on a 'masked' entry from GA data.

> It is not shameful to be wrong. It is shameful when you can't admit that you are wrong. And especially when you can't admit it even to yourself.

An opinion cannot be wrong. It's logically impossible. An opinion can be based on incorrect assumptions or incorrect knowledge, but an opinion in and of itself cannot be wrong.
Here, as mainstream as media channels get: http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2014/12/colle...

Relevant points include: (1) some schools' policies are worded so as to "lead to a young man being found responsible for a sexual offense simply if the complainant establishes that she had any degree of intoxication"; and (2) even where the policy would appear to be stricter than that, administrators frequently use the "she had 1 beer" standard when judging male students. An example in the article involves a college switching the basis for its adjudged punishment from nonconsent to presence-of-alcohol when the poor boy involved sought help from a lawyer to force the school to consider his abundant evidence of consent. (The punishment stood; only the official basis for it changed.)

I'll provide some other quotes from the article in a series of comments (since the unified comment was rejected for being too long):

> The Los Angeles Times summed up the events: “The college’s investigative report, performed by an outside firm, said both parties agreed on the following facts: Both had been drinking, she went to his room, took off her shirt while dancing, made out with him and returned to his room later for sex, asking if he had a condom. When friends stopped by the room to ask if she was OK, she told them yes.” Prior to their encounter, the two exchanged texts about their planned assignation, and Jane texted another friend to announce she was going to have sex. Later, when Jane came to see the incident as rape, she reported it to the Los Angeles Police Department. A female LAPD officer investigated, and a female deputy district attorney declined to pursue the case. She wrote, “Witnesses were interviewed and agreed that the victim and suspect were both drunk, however, that they were both willing participants exercising bad judgment.” Her report further found that Jane was capable of resisting and that John had reasonably concluded that her communications and actions conveyed consent.

> Jane lost her virginity that night, and when she sobered up and realized what happened, in distress she went to a faculty adviser who referred her to Dirks. An 82-page investigative report prepared for the school by the firm Public Interest Investigations shows it was Dirks, in her first phone conversation with Jane, who introduced Jane to the idea that she had been raped. Jane told the professor, “Oh, I am not calling it rape yet.” Over many hours of conversation, Dirks helped move Jane from what the professor described as Jane’s “strong state of denial” about what happened.

> Occidental hired an outside attorney to review the investigative report and make a recommendation about John. Here’s the conclusion of the attorney, as reported by the Los Angeles Times: “The attorney, Marilou F. Mirkovich, found that the young man did not know that his classmate was too drunk to consent because he, too, was inebriated. But, citing the college's policy that does not allow alcohol or drug consumption to excuse sexual misconduct, Mirkovich found that he should have known and was responsible for the assault.” After only a few months as a college student, John was expelled.

Here's FIRE's pithy description of the same incident ( https://www.thefire.org/sexual-assault-injustice-at-occident... ):

> Occidental pursued its own investigation by hiring the firm of Public Interest Investigations, which produced an 82-page report about the incident. Among other evidence, the report examined text messages between Doe and his accuser leading up to the sexual encounter. In the messages, the accuser asked Doe, “do you have a condom,” texted another friend “I’mgoingtohave sex now” [sic], and, in an exchange spanning 24 minutes, coordinated with Doe to sneak out of her dorm and proceed to Doe’s dorm to have sex with him.

This, despite the wording of the attorney finding above, is not someone who's incapable of consenting to sex.

More from Slate:

> While women’s consumption is often considered a mitigating factor at campus tribunals, men’s consumption generally is not. This disparity is sex discrimination, says Brett Sokolow, president of the National Center for Higher Education Risk Management. Sokolow has long fought for harsh penalties for accused men on campus. But in an open letter titled “Sex and Booze,” he writes: “If both are intoxicated they both did the same thing to each other. Why should only the male be charged if both students behave in ways defined as prohibited by the policy?” He has been called in to consult on cases in which schools have suspended or expelled the young man when both students were equally intoxicated. Schools that are doing so, he says, are creating male “Title IX plaintiffs.”

> Sokolow also says schools err when they adhere to an unrealistic standard that consumption of alcohol renders consent moot. Criminal statutes generally require that for sex to be nonconsensual due to alcohol or drugs, the accuser be not just intoxicated, but incapacitated. Having had a few drinks does not mean people, even young people, lack the capacity to make decisions about their actions, however poor those decisions may look in retrospect. Sokolow notes, however, that at some colleges “boards and panels can’t tell the difference between drunk sex and a policy violation.”

> KC Johnson, of the Manhattan Institute’s Minding the Campus blog, has compiled a list of top-ranked institutions, including Columbia, Duke, and Stanford, whose policies could lead to a young man being found responsible for a sexual offense simply if the complainant establishes that she had any degree of intoxication. Johnson notes that at Brown if two people were drinking and later an accusation is made, the disparate treatment is stark. The policy states: “A charged student’s use of any drug, including alcohol, judged to be related to an offense will be considered an exacerbating rather than a mitigating circumstance.”

I think its wrong to think that any accounting system can ever be made to be appropriate for all industries (GAAP, IFRS, or anything else). They each require 100s of decisions and assumptions that may bias or mislead investors one way or another; its not like any one of those decisions is the "right" one either. Its more important that we make sure investors are aware of what those pitfalls are. Not to mention, the cost of asking every US company to switch to IFRS would be enourmous (though i'm sure the big 4 accounting firms wouldn't mind).

As a side note, GAAP definitely isn't industry agnostic. For example, FASB (the financial accounting standards boards) issues guidance on revenue recognition for all sorts of companies and the guidance for a software company is very different than the guidance for your generic widget manufacturer.

I think it's an unfortunate situation resulting from the need to be realistic about releases. If something can be released now for > 90% of the users then companies will prioritise doing that and then releasing the remaining 10% later.

The problem is when that remaining 10% takes way longer than expected.

Often while driving i get the feeling im the only one who realizes if you miss an exit, you can just get off at the next exit...

Something as volatile on price as bitcoin is not a superior means to store value. High capital hates risk, so forget about it ever putting their money into bitcoin to store value.

Second, you are coming from the assumption that bitcoin is actually a secure and desirable asset to the world at large. Well, it's not, people just don't want into it and they are not getting into it, even the bitcoin exchanges are living with ever decreasing volume since the beginning of 2014.

I can also tell you from a purely personal view, that there are very few people left using Localbitcoins anymore. I used to sell quite a few bitcoins there in 2014, now, nobody is interested anymore, there is no one buying.
True. The pricing does seem a little off though compared to Netflix. The breakeven point there is like 3 movies per month. Thats not a lot...

> Windsor’s lifestyle was not only self-destructive and devastating to his family, it was also costly to Canada’s taxpayers. A trip to the hospital cost $243 for the ambulance, and $250 for a doctor’s assessment. Going to the police station cost $256 for just one officer to talk to him and make notes.

Costly to him, costly to society, but profitable for some. Addicts are immensely profitable customers. At least in Ontario with its state-run monopoly stores, some of it goes back to those who pay. But much of the profit goes to producers.

Here in Norway we have state monopolies on both alcohol (above a certain %a.c.) and gambling. Control with the profit motive was once cited as a reason for these monopolies, but that has long since fallen by the wayside - now they are run as for-profit corporations, even with the state as owner.

A newspaper recently got hold of a leaked memo from the gambling monopoly where they discussed how much they would lose by setting a maximum loss threshold per month. They estimated that a loss limit of 15000 NOK (about 1800 USD) per month would cost them about 400 million NOK per year. That's assuming all those so limited would keep losing the 15000 per month, and it's just the top 1% so of users.

The alcohol and gambling industries may talk warmly of responsible use of their products, but truth is that their profits come overwhelmingly from extreme abuse. One customer like Windsor is worth maybe a hundred moderate drinkers. I don't think they're going to give that up willingly - in a sense, they're as addicted as their customers!

One accident might set back consumer driving for 50 years, but not commercial. The safety record simply needs to be much better than human drivers, which shouldn't be too hard, because one driver is already taken out of the equation. And there are billions upon billions to be saved, in our corporatocracy of the USA, it WILL happen. Bad roads shouldn't be too much of a problem, they can just use humans on the bad roads, the bulk of our highways are in good shape. Snow is an issue, yes, but remember that they will have the highways perfectly GPS mapped, great reaction time, and commercial vehicles can have big ugly shrouds to keep cameras clean. There is also the possibility of hiring temporary human drivers for the worst snow days, but I don't see that happening because I honestly think the robots can have a much better safety record in snow. The plastic bag/rock thing could be a problem, that could be partially solved by just assuming it's a rock, pulling over to the side and waiting for a remote human to identify it, and clearly mark the truck as autonomous so the humans on the road know to expect different behavior from it. That's not a perfect solution, but we have thousands of the smartest people working on it - there is enough money at stake, it will be solved.
At The Times, we realised that converting customers who paid £8/week for the printed newspaper into customers paying £2/week for the digital edition (often after paying Apple £500 for an iPad on which to read the edition) wasn’t great business. ... So — over two years — we gradually raised the price for those original customers to £6/week.

The problem with "do not talk about pricing" is that you're assuming your customers are idiots. There's nothing wrong with having a bunch of profitable idiots as customers, but that's not quite the target audience for a product like newspapers. The simple fact is that the cost of delivering volume to subscribers (one more subscriber) is so teeny tiny small that inflating the price more than a reasonable amount (when in fact you're losing advertising eyeballs) is what's not smart business. Companies that presume I'm an idiot don't get my business.

You cannot talk about pricing without talking about cost. Intelligent businesses are unafraid to be transparent with their variable costs (which for a digital-only newspaper are significantly less than for a print version); what trips prices is the bulky overhead fixed costs: CEO and executive management pay, benefits, and unnecessarily swanky office space.

Realtors are probably the best example of this IRL, operating in an industry that "doesn't want you to talk about pricing" (e.g. negotiated commission at an hourly rate, for example) ... just sign on the dotted line and let them abscond with all your equity in a lump sum payment.
