Ask HN: How can my mom share her phone pics and videos with her friends?
Hi!

The best way to share pics used to involve driving to a friend's house with a USB stick [1]. Ironically, this solution does not work any more since most "regular" people own no PCs.

I guess techies have our techniques: mail, upload to Dropbox, upload to "megaupload"-style site, share via flickr...

However, for people like my mom who has no computer, just a smartphone, and no technical knowledge, it's being a nightmare.

She shares pics via whatsapp which is popular within her demographic. However it compresses media, making them unsuitable for printing or viewing in a large screen. Telegram has a "file" mode which allows sending uncompressed pictures but it's kind of difficult to use. If Whatsapp could send uncompressed media by default, I wouldn't be posting this.

Mail is also popular though the size limitations kill it. She is used to manually send like 8 mails with 3 pictures each, which takes her half an hour, and it makes me sad.

Dropbox/icloud is doable for her. The problem is that people who receive the pictures, usually older moms too, can see them on the website from their phones, but it's not easy to transfer them to their phones "camera roll"

Using "megaupload"-like sites is probably a bad idea, too difficult to use and prone to questionable ads which display fake warning banners which can scare them.

HN, what do your moms use to share pictures?

- Easy to share: open photos app, select, "share to", select app
- Easy for other moms to download them to their phones, not just view them online
- Don't require all moms to download a new app. They usually have email and Whatsapp installed, nothing else. However they'd be open to installing apps if they solve the problem completely.
- Multi platform, and mobile, since none of them owns a computer
- It may have a difficult set-up process since I'd install it and configure it myself.

Do you know if something like this exists?

Thanks!

No.

The IOC retains all the mind-share of the 'Olympic Spirit,' for lack of better terms. A curling competition on NBC will draw 0 viewers (and 0 money) ((estimating)). A curling event in the Olympics draws viewers because and only because it is 'The Olympics.' Take 'The Olympics' out of every esoteric event and you'll quickly see how little viewership it'll get.
> Solar powered AC works just fine without a power distribution network and even tends to track production and demand

It's pretty hard close to impossible to scale that to large and dense communities. I know for sure that my Eastern-European city (population: ~1.8 million) has enough problems as it is when in the summer heat people turn the AC on at the same time. And we're a pretty ok country in terms of power distribution, I'd dare to say, we have hydro, nuclear, wind, and of course coal-based energy.

More to the point, I fail to see how you can provide power to an African city with a population with 2 million (let's say) only using solar. I know that there's a lot of sunny days in sub-Saharan Africa, but you need to have huge solar farms, for which you need political stability (so that people don't destroy said farms), you need power lines that would bring said solar-generated power to the city (which also requires political and economical stability), you need engineers (preferably locally-trained, that way the costs are manageable) in order to manage all that, you need to make it easy for people to pay for it all (again, this requires institutional stability) and so on and so forth. I'd say that there are still large swaths of the world where all these conditions don't apply.

I'd say people here on HN have a slightly skewed perspective on things. Most of them have grown up (and some of them still live) in American suburbia where having the possibility to install your own solar-power thingie is totally feasible. But American suburbia it's not the whole world.
I found UDT-rsync (the only file copying program that seems to incorporate it) to reliably segfault on files >1GB.

I use uftp[1] now for bulk transfers across oceans-- it's a little confusing to use, but it generally accomplishes the goal of pushing packets at 70Mbps from Europe to Seattle.

>This is also why NBA players earn...

I think basketball stars earn so much because an individual player has a huge impact on team results (relative to hockey, baseball or football).
Your argument basically revolves around two points. One is that if you feel one candidate represents your views, then you need to vote for that candidate. That's absolutely, 100% fine and what you should do! I am speaking to the people who don't find their views fit with either candidate, or the negatives outweigh the positives so much, that they feel they are not given a real choice, which is not really true. The second point you are trying to make is saying that you should only vote for a viable candidate, which is like saying you should only cheer for a sports team that has a viable chance of winning a championship. That's ridiculous, and just passive aggressive bullying to get people to feel they need to vote for a candidate you support. People should be free to vote with their hearts for whomever they feel best represents their interests. If the candidate they vote for loses, fine, that's the democratic process, and has a 50% chance of happening anyways if you vote for a 'viable' candidate. If someone feels they have to vote for the candidate who is going to win, that's something more akin to countries like Venezuela or Iran, where there are elections, but we all know how much choice people are actually given in those places.
WonderKiln | UI/UX & Illustration Designer | Remote

Type: Full-Time/Part-Time

Location: Remote (we are located in Akron, Ohio)

Company Name: WonderKiln

This one is a bit more straight forward (posted a dev opportunity too), we are also looking for a part-time/full-time designer to jump into a existing design team. The main focus is on UI/UX Designer but with a talent for illustration to aid in crafting assets and moving the experience forward.

Similar to the dev opportunity above, the main focus is on independence and hitting deadlines while having almost complete free-reign! The projects will vary quite a bit so looking for someone flexible to jump between projects but who is also quite capable with regards to Web and App design w/ illustration.

Design-wise we have a small group already but are looking to expand it with someone very focused and dedicated time-wise. Happy to share our existing designs/buildouts upon request!

Like the dev opportunity above, we are looking for someone to jump in as part-time and work on ramping their hours up from there. We are looking for someone available immediately. If interested definitely reach out with availability (hours per week), hourly rate, and design examples!

Contact: austin [at] wonderkiln.com

Looking forward to hearing from some of you!
There are column-oriented relational databases for that. DB2 and SQL Server both implement columnar systems for OLAP-esque workloads pretty well, and I think Oracle has something like that as well. In the Free software space, MonetDB is pretty good and I believe there's some Postgres extension to store data column-wise (which is probably not competitive with ground-up column stores like MonetDB, but beats row-wise storage for certain workloads).

You don't need to give up proven relational databases for this web-scale bullshit. Financial companies have been doing hundreds of times “modern use cases where you are ingesting fast” for decades. KDB+ is the darling of that industry, but DB2 is pretty popular (IIRC) as well as some other niche options.

Right tool for the right job, basically. I have nothing against Cassandra or HBase, and they're both quite impressive pieces of engineering. But they're not an alternative to relational databases; rather, a complement for very niche use-cases. I see NoSQL stuff get used for “performance and scalability” in places where a columnar relational DB would scale just fine and bring the benefits of a relational database. I'm all for HBase for non-relational use-cases, but those are rather more rare than people seem to think (and end up with an ad hoc relational model because of it).
Radio propagation is quite a bit like magic, and if you're an engineer making a microwave, you probably really don't care that much about the theoretical underpinnings. The thought process goes something like this:

I have a loud radio source I want to keep contained in a box. I want people to be able to see into that box while it's on. I know that radio waves are blocked as long as the holes are smaller than some multiple or fraction of the wavelength of the radio source.

So what do I do? I think about what's easy and cheap to manufacture while being reliable. I try out a few things and measure the radio leakage. I pick the best solution out of the few I tried.

None of that really has anything to do with the subtleties of theory, the practice is you want something good at shielding that's good for the guys building it.

You mean unethical.
I guess that depends on what sports your country enjoys. Here in Canada curling championships get a pretty wide viewership (but the money isn't great).
It really is "If you don't like it don't attend." Go promote your archery competition on ESPN and see how many viewers tune in and how much money you earn.

We don't have many tech "unicorns" (I don't like the term) in Ireland.

I guess Fleetmatics are obviously one of them.
Intercom are fast becoming one if they aren't already and Movidius.
Baltimore Technologies and Trintech are the two legacy unicorns I can think of. People often suggest Ryanair and Paddy Power or even Stripe but for different reasons I don't think of them as "Irish tech".

The problem with this argument is that it mixes global effects and personal effects.

A person could have an appealing investment - for example building a more attractive fruit shop, with better customer service - taking all the sales from the current fruit shop .

But the GDP will remain the same.
I'm curious why people have to be so darned pedantic. It's not funny nor cute. And it makes it almost impossible to have any sort of enjoyable conversation with a normal person.
this is probably the least of your worries. i've never encountered an employer that asked for transcripts.

the real question here is: you need to triage and eventually resolve how you'd like to move forward with your academic experience -- you need to decide if you want your bachelor's someday. if the answer is yes, then, i would highly suggest that, when the time is right, you navigate the bureaucracy of your university and attempt somehow to achieve some kind of agreement involving clemency and the ability to resume courses. and/or find a way to transfer to another university, or something.

in the meantime, you could leave your academic record off your resume altogether, if you like. if you don't have a degree, and you don't plan to get one right now, then you essentially have nothing to put in your academic section.
If I remember correctly, Eric Schlosser's Command and Control recounts an incident where an American nuclear missile crew were erroneously given the order to fire a nuclear missile at the Soviet Union. The person at the other end of the phone had simply read them the incorrect code, intending to give a routine instruction related to maintenance. Launch codes were validated, and by the procedure the missile should have been launched.

Thinking that this was likely an error due to the officer's tone of voice and the present geopolitical situation, the missile crew asked him to repeat the order, and he cheerfully repeated the code for firing the missile. Only after being prompted for a third time did he realize his mistake and relayed the correct encrypted order. The near-accident was not reported at the time.

Olympics destroy the economies of the cities they play in. This article shows just the insane amount of salary at the top get. These are people who are literally the top of human form and athleticism. The Olympics entertain the planet and bring in insane amounts of money and have insane trademark enforcement.

If I make over $100k for sitting on my ass all day writing software, then certainly these people deserve far more than they're getting. They shouldn't need to depend on additional endorsements/advertising money. Just by making it to the Olympics, they should get a decent amount, and those bastards at the top can afford to get a little less...shaving a few $100k here and there and distribute it.

One issue here is there's no exact test case. As a result, all variants seem to use slightly different timing curves. Maybe that's irrelevant, but it's at least annoying to look at.

(Not to say I don't appreciate this page.)
It's fine that this is an advertisement, but please label it as such. The title currently reads more like a blog article discussing this idea than an advertisement/announcement for rgeeditor.

While the post does briefly talk about the woes, ultimately it's an advertisement/announcement for the product, and I think it should be very clear that this is what you're presenting.
Some feedback:

+ I read the article and watched the video and had no idea what Permutive does.

+ Two trips to the homepage and watching the video about how great it is for breaking browser navigation with an email popup gave me a bit better picture...grumble grumble.

+ The pace of the videos was so high that I could not really follow what was happening. The email video though was a little slower.

+ It's not clear who the target audience for the videos might be. On the one hand there are business people for whom the high level issues of shopping cart abandonment are relevant. On the other, there's an orthogonal interest that involves SDK's and Github.

The first group needs to be sold on the idea as a feature request with a high priority.

The second group needs to be sold on the idea as a way to implement an existing feature request.

Sometimes these groups are going to be the same people. But even then, they're wearing different hats and looking at the problem differently.

My advice: segment the videos and other sales collatoral into: 1. A collateral defining the business problem and suggesting a high level solution. The sales pitch is backed by business metrics. 2. A tutorials and technical documentation showing how to implement the solution using the product. The sales pitch is backed by programmer happiness metrics.

If it meets the guidelines, it might good "Show HN".

Good luck.

When I put on my pointy corporate IT hat, and I go to the Oracle web site to download Java, I see that Java runs on Linux, MacOS, Solaris, and Windows. Then when I go to download WebSphere, I see that it runs on a similar set plus AIX. Java support for Linux comes from the vendor while Java support for FreeBSD comes from the "community." Corporations will generally not depend on infrastructure that does not have reliable vendors who will sell them support contracts. Linux has this ecosystem in place. FreeBSD does not.
