I would focus more on user retention right now, if you can get those 100 users to come back again and again then you are most likely onto something.

The more you can learn about your users now, the better.

Plus the more your users are engaged, the more likely they are to invite their friends to your service = free distribution.

Congrats on your initial traction!
I do tend to start all my new node projects in TypeScript, yes.
Dystopian only in the mind of a sci-fi fan. In practice it's a free communication service that helped millions to connect. No one forced people to use WhatsApp like something from 1984, people chose it from the various alternatives.

In fact, a lot of people prefer Telegram, and a lot use neither, preferring good old cellphone conversations. Oh wait, isn't that a closed protocol that dominates all offline communications? How dystopian...
Having "more posessions", posessions at all, "getting older" and the least amount of violence (probably) since ever - constitutes what I'd call the most awesome time for humanity thus far.

What you call WW3, just shows how much capitalism has tamed even the biggest powers and helped make this world a more resilient civilization.
There's plenty of things that I can't write that I can understand. Even if I can't understand it, I can look and see what it's expecting for arguments and figure out why it doesn't like what ever thing I sent that was probably dumb.

Jobr is the leading mobile-first jobs application combining a Tinder-style interface with a Pandora-like recommendation engine. We were founded just 1.5 years ago, and all key metrics continue to grow 50-100% MoM. We’ve raised $2M in funding from a group of strategic investors and advisors including Lowercase Capital, Workday, the Tinder founders, Redpoint Ventures, Lerer Ventures, and Eniac Ventures. Our platform has over 5M jobs across virtually every industry and covers the entire US and Canada, and we’re expanding internationally later this year.

We’re looking for sharp, analytical engineers to help us continue to move quickly and scale engineering operations. Ideal candidates have strong startup experience and have a breadth of knowledge throughout multiple parts of the software ecosystem. That said, we'll trade attitude and potential for experience any day of the week.

A bit of our stack:

* All major systems are written in Go (Golang), accessing data in MySQL with a Redis layer

* Redis MQ for message queueing

* Scala data processing on Spark

* Elasticsearch on Found

* Periscope and Mixpanel for analytics / dashboarding

SEEKING WORK

Location: Chicago. Remote Preferred.

Dev:

I'm a Clojure developer with a few years experience doing it professionally full time. I also have an interest in Elixir and am willing to do Elixir at reduced rates to get more experience under my belt.

* Clojure(script) development - full stack ($75 an hr)
* Elixir development ($37.5 an hr)

Business:

* Have an idea for a startup or website? Don't have the technical chops to build it and test the waters? Let's talk. I'll help you prove your idea so that you can raise money to develop your product in house. We'll work together to sketch out an MVP and build it. ($1.5k a week with me doing dev part time)

Marketing:

* Interactive Content Marketing. People are tired of reading the same old rehashed blog posts with same top 10 lists over and over. It's also a lot harder to market in a sea of blog posts and infographics. Let's try something different. I call it interactive content marketing. Instead of building a static piece of content like a blog post, we'll build a useful and free tool that will generate highly qualified leads for you in your target market.

(price negotiable)

Sound interesting? Send me an email.

* Email marketing automation to automatically capture and nurture leads from website visitors to paid customer. If you've built a B2B SaaS business then it's very likely that you're not using email marketing effectively enough. We'll first start by capturing the website visitors that you spend so much time creating content and so much money advertising for. I'll setup your lead capture form with a lead magnet that will start netting you emails. I'll also setup an automated drip email sequence for your list to educate them on your product/services and keep reminding them of who you are.

I guarantee a massive RoI, or your money back.

If any of these services sound interesting to anybody you know, please forward them to me.

> But only now that everyone has stopped smoking do we actually talk about "smoking addiction."

Er, no, we started talking about nicotine addiction long before that.

> Back when everyone did it, it wasn't treated as an addiction with us blaming individual smokers for smoking.

Actually, treating it as an addiction has been exactly the opposite of "blaming individual smokers for smoking" -- while certainly the fact that it has become rarer has coincided with an increase in stigmatization (there's a two-way causal relationship there, in a positive feedback loop), that's separate entirely from treating it as an addiction (that's treating it as something people don't like around them.)

Treating it as an addiction is providing medical and counseling support for people to deal with the addiction, and placing blame on the tobacco companies for deceptively and knowingly marketing an addictive substance for many years.

> It was treated as a public health problem, and ultimately the blame was laid at the feet of the tobacco industry.

You seem to use "as an addiction" and "as a public health problem" as if they were opposites, which is odd, because actual addiction is (and is treated as) a fairly significant public health problems.
The one app I've always is an SMS forwarder on MS mobile platform. You'll make one person happy if you build this.
Profits, Astrovus' First Apple TV App Now FREE
I am a high schooler and my friend and I have started an app development business called Astrovus (www.astrovus.com). We recently released our first Apple TV application, Profits, which is a game about making profits. It is a real time strategy game in which the player's use their iOS devices as remotes. I would love it if you all could check it out and give some feedback on the app. Thanks!

Note: There is no way (that I am aware of) to link to an Apple TV app. It should come up with a search of "Profits" on the Apple TV App Store.
I somehow doubt a typical journalist would be able to do anything with that.
Apply HN: IMe – Social networking based on activities
IMe is a new social networking platform which helps bring people from same location with same interests together. Users will be able to create competitive one on one or team events and invite other users from the same location. Along with players and participants, having an event created on a social platform will also bring audience for the events.

Along with planning and organizing events, serious players will get to collect the stats and ratings from the events. Having more ratings and stats as proof will help these serious players stand out from others and can fetch them unique opportunities which otherwise might be missed.

In a trending local event, audience forum will be available for sports fans to express their analysis and also to validate the data from that event for serious players. This data and stats can also be used by coaches and recruiters who are constantly looking for new talents.
Last week, I decided to look at the Glassdoor reviews. Lots of positive reviews that sounded eerily similar. Then ran across the first negative review that claimed that the positive reviews were written by PR. Then more negative reviews making the same claim. Then re-read the positive reviews. All the "cons" started to sound like "pros", if you were an investor or journalist.
Not even close. It takes about six calories per day to maintain a pound of muscle. And it takes two calories per day to maintain a pound of fat. That's why people who think they're going to be able to eat radically more if they change ten pounds of fat to ten pounds of muscle are deluding themselves - it adds up to about forty calories a day, which is half a teaspoon of butter.

Anyway, the thirty calorie figure doesn't pass the smell test - men average about seventy three pounds of lean muscle mass, so at thirty calories per would be 2190 calories per day even if you ignore all activity and every other metabolic process. Your average sedentary middle aged guy is going to gain weight if he eats more than about 1500 calories per day.
While this is true, that form of coding is... dead. It doesn't produce better compilation backends—if you're working with strings, chances are the compiler will ignore most of the string instructions but LODS/LODSB/LODSW/LODSD.
I just wanted to add that Andrew did reach out and offer an apology over the mistake in their process. As I told him, I think this speaks very highly of Predata. Very few companies would be willing to do such a human gesture. It sounds like they have the hiring management sorted out now and you can all effectively disregard my earlier comment. I am glad to hear it.
"The Consolation of Philosophy" is one of my favorite books, so it's exciting to learn about this musical interpretation of it. I hope I can listen to the upcoming rendition soon!
Looks like you guys are right:

"WhatsApp Web connects to your phone to sync messages."

I.. did not know that.
However, with gmail filtering out email from untrusted domains, you could argue that you actually can't build an email host that can send emails to all of your friends.
International carriers are moving capacity from Narita to Haneda just as Japanese airlines added more flights from Haneda since the new runway opened. The latter still operate a lot of international flights from Narita.

Only US carriers seem to mostly not get Haneda slots but they are decreasing capacity in Narita as well as they now offer less connecting flights via Japan than they used to. There are currently negotiations and the Japanese authorities have agreed to assign more slots to American carriers. The problem seems mostly Delta, who would like to move their complete hub to Haneda which would take a large share of available slots there. Delta is lobbying hard (including loud in public which is a big no-no in Japan) for not increasing capacity for their competitors. [1]

In 2013 the US was allocated Haneda slots but they could not agree on a distribution among their carriers, so they remained vacant.

The problem at Haneda seems to be as much US-internal fights as Japanese protectionism.

(Sure, Japanese carriers have more than 2/3 of all slots of Haneda. Personally, I think it's fine that a country's carriers are given preferred access where capacity is limited.)

Because the whole writeup and topic are fascinating
>In Ontario, for example, it is usually illegal for a doctor to charge more than a set amount for a certain type of procedure, and thus the people able to pay more are prevented by law from doing so.

There are several different possible justifications for such a law:

1. We think the amount people can pay for some services should be capped, someone willing to pay more doesn't mean they value it more
2. We think that people are uninformed about the prices of services, and/or are extorted by time pressure, and/or the medical profession is extracting rents

If it's 2, then they can still agree that people should be able to pay what they want to, but there's an informational asymmetry because you don't have time to shop around when there's an emergency, or there's a monopoly that needs price controls to break, etc. None of those invalidate my point.

Does any of Ontario's rules apply to discretionary medical services?

Do you have any other example that applies without falling into one of the categories above?
This is why we need decentralization.
Then again, it could've failed simply because it was brought to you by the makers of healthcare.gov

And they will rule in favor when it comes to the senate, just as they expressed in the link that they would.

Saying "there's a coup!" is cheap government propaganda. The impeachment is proceeding according to the law and the charges are serious.
You've missed the point. The judge is in his right to punish the company, you don't have to defend that.

But to punish ONLY the company, not it's users.

He could impose heavy financial penalties, for instance. But affecting the life of 200 mm users? No way ...
Could you elaborate on why oversampling is important? With Nyquist I was generally of the impression that 2 x bandwidth should be just fine, but in practice oscilloscopes (just one example) seem to have five times or more sampling rate than bandwidth.
You are drawing conclusions from insufficient information. How do you know that he is incompetent and not feigning incompetence? In the former case, you would be right. In the latter case, not only would you be wrong, but you would have been manipulated by Craig Wright into being wrong.

I'm not so sure the bitcoin required a cryptography genius. I would say it has more to do with the elegant way of dealing with the Byzantine Generals problem, applied to evolving a distributed ledger from purely untrusted parties.

I would argue it represents a key development in the history of computing & networks, and possibly a new subdomain of Computer Science, with its main influences and precursors dating back no earlier than the mid-90s (very new in the CS research sense). Open to other people's thoughts.
> What you said just proves my point. You're happy because you perceive this to your advantage.

No, I'm happy because our institutions are working. What I said doesn't support your point at all.

> But this judicial power works both ways. In the future they can use this power to do whatever they want.

If, in the future, another government does something remotely similar to what the current government did, I sure hope they (the judiciary) do.

> True, that's why it is called a democracy. The government will be legitimate only until the next election.

It will be legitimate until when it is no longer legitimate, which can happen - and did happen - before the next election.

> It's not a group of judges that can determine the legitimacy of a government.

I agree. Thankfully, it is not "a group of judges" that are leading the impeachment. It our Parliament and our civil society, including the Bar Association of Brazil.

> The fact that you consider me a PT supporter shows that you just care about your political position

No, it shows that I know how to read. How does the obvious, undeniable fact that you support the current government prove that I only care about my political position?

> not about the larger point around this issue. There are people pro and anti-goverment who see the big problem that is being created by the Brazilian judicial system. It doesn't matter what government is in power for this to be a problem.

I'm sorry, but I do not believe you. There are way more similarities than differences between this impeachment process and Collor's impeachment process. Were you as concerned back then? Nothing has happened now that wasn't scrutinized by multiple layers of the judiciary. Nothing has happened that wasn't discussed for hours, days, weeks on end by both our chambers. Everything against the government is strongly supported by evidence in a variety of formats. I don't think you are honestly concerned about our political system. You are concerned about the survival of this particular administration. Well, our democracy is maturing, our judiciary is maturing, and thankfully, though sadly, our President - who has committed "crimes de responsabilidade" - is going down.

Edit: removed harsh language.

On a serious note, implementing libraries as standalone applications that can be accessed via IPC is actually a viable approach. Plan 9 does this with almost all of its services. Not exactly a fair comparison though, since the IPC mechanism in Plan 9 is just the file system and much easier to learn.
AutoMicroFarm & Casepad having some new Ideas.
I don't think it makes that point well at all. It says that (kinda) but doesn't support the idea with any form of reasoning. In fact, it's a relatively minor point and not really the main point of the video at all.

If you had access to my phone you could learn a great many things about me (most of them banal) but there are many many many thoughts in my head that don't exist on my phone in any form.

Continued nerd insistence of your point is little more than fetishization of technology. There's a reason Obama used that word at sxsw. It connotes a level of obsession and overfocus that is, quite frankly, pretty creepy.
Can't fully agree with the article re: using nodejs in production. A couple of years ago I decided to use nodejs for a rewrite of a web/database app that had gotten to be complex and hard to maintain.

As so often said, it was true for me that the abundance of modules and choices in node was at first very confusing.

I eventually figured out that keeping things as simple as possible was my best approach. What I came up was a server relying on very few module dependencies and written using consistent if not so elegant components. Sure it's kind of verbose and far from totally DRY but fairly easy to understand, modify and extend.

Key issue was node's "callback hell" style of async programming. Of course, it's not just node, other languages (Scheme, FP, etc.) can be mind-bending in a similar way.

The callback "inside-out" locality inversion was initially hard to grasp, but once I caught on it was possible to get the server working the way I needed it to. The more recent development of promises, etc., certainly provides reasonable ways to reduce the high barriers implicated in using the nodejs style of async programming.
I think the 'big application' bit is what challenges many people. From what I understand, Netflix is essential a huge group of micro-services, and I 'think' this is where Node.js shines.

What are your thoughts on that? When you're developing a service at Netflix, does it feel like you're building a single large application? Does the mentality of micro-services change how you approach code and therefore the validity of the original posts arguments?

Gathering information online and by phone is probably not sufficient to find out all the facts and to develop leads. For example, insiders may be reluctant to reveal everything they know in phone calls and email. It's too easy to eavesdrop on electronic communications.
It doesn't matter it's not a Brazilian company, there are no servers in Brazil, only the users exist in Brazil. They could mandate Mark Zuckerberg run around naked and it would make no difference. Maybe Brazil should create a great wall of Brazil and cut itself off of the internet. Then it could enact whatever laws it wants to affect companies in other countries.

No, he does not have that right. By that same logic brazilians shouldn't be allowed to visit websites from any other country where there's a discrepancy with brazilian law. With a government like ours next thing you know we have our own Great Firewall.

We need better journalists, then.

I'm pretty comfortable with the technical competence of a subset of tech journalists -- nikcub is one of them. Other fields often get fairly competent journalists; tech journalism deserves the same.

The key thing here isn't necessarily technical competence but skepticism, which is the thing journalists are supposed to be oversupplied with.
