Ask HN: Review My Startup: Vibe, a Team Morale Meter for Slack
Hello, I'm part of a small team in Tokyo, building HR-Tech products powered by machine learning.

For the past 6 months we've been working on a product called Vibe, which is a Morale Meter for teams using slack: https://vibe.work

It would be great to hear your thoughts and feedback about the product.
In particular, if you manage people, do you think this could help your decision making?
I think the top portion here is key (in Bernies own words):

“Donald Trump tapped into the anger of a declining middle class that is sick and tired of establishment economics, establishment politics and the establishment media. People are tired of working longer hours for lower wages, of seeing decent paying jobs go to China and other low-wage countries, of billionaires not paying any federal income taxes and of not being able to afford a college education for their kids - all while the very rich become much richer."

The easiest way to build a big business is to solve the hardest and most important technical problems. The market position would be defensible due to hardness, and the market size would be big enough due to importance.

There's many other approaches to build a big business though. While Apple's workers and investors believed in Apple's approach, Nasty Gal's workers and investors believed in Nasty Gal's approach. Capitalism is the judge and redistributes capital to the approach that works.

Apple's workers and investors now have more capital, so they can start more hardware tech companies, while Nasty Gal's workers and investors have less capital, so they can start fewer online clothing store companies. It's inefficient, but it works out in the end.
Russia especially Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Our currency is weak and it would be cheap for you to spend time here. There are a lot of beautiful places. I am living in Saint Petersburg and you can ping me for any questions.
This is a good list of what not to do. Can anyone recommend what to do to make a simple game? I thought I'd give Unity a try because of the vast learning resources. Turns out it's pretty kludgy to get things done. Unreal Engine seems to have a steeper learning curve but is of somewhat better quality. I had the most fun trying to write my own OpenGL renderer in C++ but of course that's a rabbit trail off of making an actual game. What is the most productive environment for beginners?
I've been hoping to pick it up on weekends & time off but startup hours don't leave much free time. I worked on a few simple heroku / json phoenix apps last year. Hoping I can put together a useful but small web app next.
Dear Sanders supporters (like the author and BTW like me as well). He also lost. You also need to get off your high horse, talk with people who are unlike you instead of talking down to them, and learn something from what happened. That's what Sanders himself is doing. "I told you so" looks no better on you than it does on the Trump supporters. In fact, it looks the same.
That's true, in a shooting war with a peer we haven't had much practice since Kosovo. However, neither has Russia, and while they have been putting on a show of force in Syria, that is basically them at almost max deployment and force projection capabilities. They don't have the money or manpower to fight a prolonged shooting war. John Schindler put it best, Russia is "Mexico with ICBMs". The ICBM part is what should scare us all, especially if they have a stooge in the White House.

Regardless of the reason, deliberate targetting, accidental "drive by DDoS" or bad configuration, the question that remains is "Why is the heating dependent on being online?"

It is completely reasonable if the heat system every so often "phones home", so report on usage, but it shouldn't actually stop working, if the network connection isn't available.

You can blame, DDoS, hackers, network outages, the Russians, I don't care, it doesn't cover up the fact that your system has a stupid design.
My heart bleeds for the women and children living off wired money in Mexico, not for the men working illegally in the U.S sending them money. The families back in Mexico with no safety net are the ones who will suffer if we cut off Western Union as a bargaining chip. That is an argument made in that document in favor of the plan. People will suffer in Mexico, so Mexico will be more inclined to make a payment for the wall. The people suffering in Mexico - what law have they broken?

I haven't decided that illegal immigrants are part of the American identity, but I do consider the people not in America who are receiving money to be innocent bystanders (with the exception of drug money, but the cartels wouldn't be stopped by these sanctions anyway).

The NCS is being beefed up to become almost mandatory for young people. Whereas UK Scouting has quite rightly pointed out they they've been doing this for over 100 years already.

I can first hand (and second hand via my daughter) validate that being an active Scout brings many benefits to the child, and helps shape their identity for life.
That's the trouble in a two party (Winner-takes-all AKA first-past-the-post) system is that you can never tell who genuinely approves of Trump, and who merely disapproves of Clinton.

Would you be OK with being represented by a crook, without yourself being one?

It might be one of the cases where correlation doesn't imply causation. For an objective study, we would need to assign children to groups randomly. Otherwise, we can miss various obscure selection effects. (For example, if children who are more likely to be scouts, are also likely to be from a particular socioeconomic background).
>10 million less people turned out to vote compared to 2008, and those were nearly exclusively 10 million Obama voters.

This is crazy. Neither Hillary nor Trump even received as many votes as John McCain did back in 2008 (60M) [1], who still lost to Obama by another 10 million votes. It's crazy to actually see how many fewer people voted this election compared to the past two, for whatever reasons.

What the image represents is the energy loss/gain of a whole bunch of electrons that interact one at a time with a light wave traveling along a tiny metal wire (we call this kind of captive light wave a "phonon").

For each electron fired at the wire, it can either pass through unscathed, or it can interact with an electron and scatter off with a different energy, like two billiard balls hitting each other. The collision is fundamentally a collision between two particles. However, the fact that the properties of the collisions vary sinusoidally along the length of the wire imply that the photon is also acting like a wave oscillating up and down the wire.

I disagree that this is the "first time" that we've observed simultaneous wave-particle behavior, you can see the same thing by firing photons at two narrowly-placed slits. This results in a diffraction pattern as if the photons were interfering like waves, but we can confirm that we're detecting single photons at the detector, and you can even confirm that each photon travels through one slit or the other ... See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment
> 1. News "aggregator" sites that pull from both sides of the spectrum -- though people would probably just pick and choose which articles they read and which they raged over (assuming they didn't just revert back to CNN/Fox immediately)

The million-dollar questions are: How do you combat the addictive effects of anger (it is a very addictive emotion), and the human predisposition towards tribal conflict (e.g., the us vs them dynamic)?

If we had a good answer to those questions, then we could craft a media environment that, while still biased, presented a good sampling of viewpoints[1].

After which, we would need to figure out how can that be made economically sustainable?

I would be very interested to tackle those problems, but fear the economics.

[1] Right now, most media outlets present "the other side" solely as a strawman/weakman argument to be knocked down.
Everyone complains but many problems are solved by having 50 state elections vs one big one.

All of the problems like voter suppression, fraud and pandering get amplified by a straight popular vote. It's good for the country that the racist conduct of elections in places like Alabama and the widespread fraud in places like souther Texas and Chicago are firewalled behind the electoral college.

National popular elections also require harmonized rules, which are subject to the whims of the Congress. You're better off letting States conduct the elections.

I think shared memory is foundational to Clojure's approach to concurrency, and that is something the Erlang VM cannot provide. So some main fixtures of Clojure's standard library, like atoms, STM, agents, become either useless or nonsensical.

It's also not clear to me wether the Erlang VM provides what Clojure needs to efficiently implement its user-defined types, protocols, etc

That said, a Clojure-like dialect of lisp built on Erlang is a fine idea and, as others have said, I would probably start by seeing how the Lisp-Flavoured-Erlang (LFE) guys built their lisp.
We're closer than you think. Check it out: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Inters...

Hopefully more states will come on board after this election.
This is a GA. I just think it doesn't practice elitism (saving the best solutions found so far.) Or it's nondeterministic.
Sometimes it is comparatively easy to effectively ban a certain kind of fraud attempt, whereas actual success of the attempt would be impossible to prosecute because the victims can only be victims when they not even notice any wrongdoing. Not banning the attempt.

In that case, you have a choice between banning attempts, together with everything that is indistinguishable from an attempt, versus effectively giving fraudsters free reign, despite having a law that technically forbids successful execution of an attempt. Classic legal balancing act: how valuable is the freedom of dressing up as a postman compared to not having to question the authenticity of each and every on of them?

Depends whether you're hiring for a management role, or an individual contributor role.
I don't expect this to be popular, but maybe one route out of this meme-driven, post-truth, clickbaity echo chamber political dystopia is that we get over the idea that it's terrible to pay (or charge) for news. Twenty years ago it seemed great that the net was disrupting traditional news outlets. Now we've played that out a bit, it seems like we miss the kind of work you can do if you have revenue that isn't coming from advertisers or lobbyists.
When people leave Congress they invariably go into lobbying. Term limits has to have some small effect on increasing this because you'll necessarily cycle more people through Congress, and they'll know less. If we are to have lobbyists ( and I think we must ) then let us have knowledgeable ones.

The Gingrich Revolution was founded on term limits, and yet here we are.

"Additional shale/gas" makes no sense at least now because of market conditions. There's an untold huge level of zero-coupon debt hanging because of the last shale revolution. It does nothing to help use market discipline to wean us off hydrocarbons, but it might still be the "bridge fuel" even green people were touting ten years ago.

Myself, I think there was epistemic closure against any hydrocarbon activity in the chattering classes a few years back. This will make the compromises necessary to navigate emerging alt. technology more difficult.
> this isn't like a startup where people are trying to strike it rich by exploring a whole new greenfield

Most of the startups I hear about aren't doing that either. The vast majority are slight variations on a theme where most of the supposed novelty is in the marketing — just like Nasty Gal.

I also enjoyed her book and think there's good stuff in there. However, so much of the book revolved around being an independent operator and having full control and, notably, this company is tumbling once it's not in an individual's control.

My opinion is that Amoruso is a superb leader for a certain type and size of business (and her book focuses on this) but probably not for a large one with many competing interests, investors and all - notoriously difficult especially in fashion retail with all its inventory and timing issues.
Advice to beginner data scientists
it's bad when you have to qualify the clickbait title in the first sentence:

"While there are nuances to the claim made in this headline,
it is technically true..."
It's funny that this tiny little insignificant pimple on the giant hairy quivering ass of State, is the thing that really bothers everybody (on the losing side), because 0.1% of the votes "didn't count". The USA government itself is detrimental to humanity. The nation ought to broken into smaller pieces so its leaders will have less power to ruin the world. Good news! On current trends, and because of far more consequential inherent problems than the electoral college, the USA government will certainly collapse before hell freezes over and some special constitutional amendment is passed to make 48% of the electorate feel better once every couple of decades.

While I'm sure that sexism and racism does play a role for some voters, I believe (anecdotally, without data-based evidence) that its influence is overstated. Commentators who simply point to those factors are demonizing the "other" and perversely, are making it even harder to achieve consensus on issues. After all, how can you respect your opponent if they're sexist or racist?

That aside, broadly, Hillary lost because she:

- Represented the establishment

- Was uninspiring

- Was followed by the aura of 'scandal' (Benghazi and the email server are the two I've heard the most)

I think people were simply tired of establishment politicians who they felt never listened to them and never worked for their interests anyways - and just wanted someone radically different. It also helped that Trump's message "Make America Great Again" is trivially inspiring and broadly resonates. People feel that there's something wrong - that the social contract is gone, and they want to be part of a future where that greatness and their part in it exists again.

I can recommend to both of you to get the book "Elixir in Action". It's fantastic! Starts very simple and step by step explores the must-need concepts of Elixir.

I started phoenix before fully understanding Elixir and had a hard time. Then I got that book and when I was halfway through I loved Elixir already.

Now I use phoenix for almost everything web related.
I, as a 6" 3' that identifies as a straight non-binary queer Tuvaluan pink unicorn with two horns and a permanent rainbow above my head, and with a slightly left leaning penis with 3 white hairs on my face and with shoe size 9 whose name begins with Hor and with an ID that end in 237 feel totally discriminated by the fact that there never was a president/multibillionaire with these characteristics.

I offer myself to fill those gaps and avoid this heinous act of discrimination.
The bit about corporate news being biased towards Hillary makes little sense. In so far as corporates are profit-seeking, Trump is a much better circus to cover. He gets attention, and attention is advertisement dollars. So if you're going to favour someone, it should be Trump. Heck he'll now provide interesting soundbites for years.

Also you cannot dismiss EVERYTHING as being lies. It's just not how lying works. A lie is a slightly modified truth, not a complete fiction. It's also pretty much the same as the hysteria that is being written about, to claim that everything is a lie.

The real story of why he won is a lot less exciting than everyone makes it out to be. He basically said he'll fix everything that's wrong, somehow. Especially whatever is wrong about the job market at the lower end. Economics seems to have gotten buried amid all the name-calling during the campaign, but not in the ballot box. And economics has been the major topic in every election, and every election an establishment candidate has been elected and turned out not to fix the issues.

Hillary wanted to talk about all sorts of things that aren't economics: racial equality, gender issues, foreign policy, experience in government, Trump being himself, and so on. Well, she got Trumped because people didn't care that his style is a bit narcissistic, didn't care that he has zero experience, and didn't care that he has no actual plan. People took a punt on Trump because why buy more of the same thing that doesn't work?

On Bernie, I agree with the article. He talked about a real economic alternative, and would have had a chance.

HTTP-SS – A new WEB Protocol
"The point of justice is to avoid further crimes by rendering the criminal harmless,"

No. Or rather - 'criminal justice' as we understand it in the civil sense, does not apply here.

" What does 'deserving it' have to do with this, and how is it applicable? Do you think prisons exist out of resentment toward people?"

Some of the people in Guantanimo are terrorists of the worst kind. The people that planned 9/11. The kinds of people that chop off heads, who commit genocidal massacres, who grab little girls from families, rape them, and sell them into slavery.

Suppose one of these mass murdering criminals could be 're-integrated' into society, without much fuss, i.e. he sees the error of his ways, admits he was 'caught up in false jihad'. And we felt he could go back to a more stable part of Iraq and roughly go about his business? And we let him do that, and he pretty much behaved.

Would that be justice?

No.

99% of ex-Nazi SS-officers, after WW2, then one's that 'escaped' - went on to live relatively normal lives in hiding. They were 'reformed' essentially, and posed no threat to anyone. Their murderous activity was really in the context of WW2. Does that mean we let people who put people in the gas chamber go free?

No - some people deserve to die - and sometimes worse.

There are some kinds of 'bad people' that are either 'not reformable' or who have committed such grievous crimes such that 'true justice' is probably impossible.

I'm not advocating anything other than saying I have absolutely no sympathy for some of the people in Guantanimo.

Now - there are definitely some people there who were just 'villagers with guns, fighting for their village/community' whatever - and are not totalitarian, ideological, terrorists etc. - and sometimes that's a fine line, but clearly they don't belong there.

The 'injustice' is not the existence of Guantanimo, but simply our failure to apply 'actual justice' meaning some 'partly innocent' people are tangled up in a system designed for truly the most nefarious and evil types.

When we caught high ranking Nazi SS officers after WW2, we sentenced most of them to death. I suggest many ISIS fighters are far, far worse than SS officers.

Go ahead and watch the YouTube executions of thousands of Iraqi soldiers by ISIS after they took parts of Iraq. They were executed by the river, the river was literally running red with blood. I don't think that 'reform' is an issue that enters into one's mind when thinking about how to apply justice in those scenarios.

I appreciate that by enlarge, criminal justice should be focused on 'reform' but especially in these kinds of situations, it's really quite another reality.

I was in the (Canadian) Army a long time ago, and it was a difficult moral issue, but death is part of the equation. Think of this paradox: someone who has a gun and running from police, shooting back occasionally - will probably get a 'death sentence' on the street and that we generally accept. To think that mass murdering, genocidal people get more than that is a little disturbing.

Anyhow - I hope that we get better at separating the 'villagers with guns' from the 'genocidal terrorists'.
How to Lose 10 Pounds in 2 Weeks with Exercise
I wonder what went wrong. Sounded like a pretty good concept overall. My guess is underestimating the volume of returns and generally margins in clothing retail. Possibly combined with a growth strategy that was too aggressive?

Amoruso and her previous work/network/following makes up a good bit of the value of the company imo...could she just start anew with a smaller/more niche shop?

Also curious...how would one go about buying the brandname/website etc. from this company once it's in bankruptcy (assets will be sold eventually, right)?
