Yup | iOS, Android, Full-Stack Web Engineers | SF | ONSITE, VISA | https://www.yup.com

Private on-demand tutoring for high school kids. You help us build the infrastructure, our tutors teach the kids, the kids get better grades[1], relieve anxiety, and become better humans.

Here's how it works:

Imagine you're a high school kid and you can't do your homework. Take out your phone, snap a pic of the problem, and within 20 seconds a tutor will help you out via chat. You talk to the tutor for however long it takes[2], and by the end of the session you've learned how to solve those kinds of problems. Your life is now better.

Here's where you come in:

We need engineers to help us build the product. It's been just four of us so far and we need help. I've personally built large swathes of the infrastructure, primarily the tutor side, and I need your help. On the immediate, you can help me move the rest of our codebase from Backbone to React. We're halfway there :)

Another imminent project is rebuilding the messaging infrastructure, making student/tutor matching smarter, moving the backend to a microservice model. All the things you'd expect to do in a startup moving from small to bigger.

Why Yup:

We're not just a Silicon Valley startup trying to get big fast and loose. Our goal is to build a product that helps people, has sound unit economics, and generates real revenue, not just users. Our BD branch is finding ways to bring Yup to underprivileged youths whose families couldn't afford it on their own by selling it to schools.

I've worked with many startups before and, honestly, this is the only one that's made me feel really good about what I'm building every day.

If you have questions, I'm on twitter and here as Swizec.
If you wanna join us, email the CEO -> nag@yup.com

[1] we've had parents send us really nice emails saying their kid went from a D to a B+.

[2] some of our longest sessions so far have been north of 2 hours.
> I wonder if that first chart is inflation adjusted. I suspect it's not.

That chart (and subsequent text) quite clearly says "current US dollars," which is presumably 2012 dollars given the date of publication. So yes, it is inflation adjusted.
Is there anything interesting left that's not already in illumos?
Uber is currently the most highly valued private company in the world.

No, they're not. 37Signals is [1]. Kidding aside, the term valuation in the context of a private company is always quite a bit whacky. Who determined that valuation? VCs with their liquidation preferences? Please.

If rapid growth could not drive major margin improvements between 2012 and 2016, there is no reason to believe that Uber will suddenly find billions in scale economies going forward.

Sorry what? As if Uber isn't already getting all the benefits of scale economics. Their losses are due to their hyper-aggressive growth plans and the stiff competition. The end game isn't saving money due to economies of scale. That's already happened. The end game is driving everyone else out of business and dominating the market in every region of the planet. That's when the profits would come in.

I would assume people would not be okay tying up five figures of capital in a quickly depreciating asset that sits idle 95% of the time if other options are available (electric rideshare on demand).

"17 million new vehicles are sold per year in the US. Assume self driving vehicles replace 25% of those sales, eliminating the need for the rest (just for giggles). That's 12,750,000 vehicles that don't need to be built and sold per year. At the average sales price of a new car ($35K), that's $446,250,000,000 ($446 billion) in loans that don't need to be taken out, or capital that must be committed to purchasing those vehicles, and the same amount of labor that must be expended to repay the loans on those vehicles."

I get that these numbers are very hand wavy, but I think they illustrate the scale of the effects of self driving electric vehicle rideshare networks.
I think the point is not detection rate, but the amount of new holes the AV introduces to the system

> I thought most phones eventually moved to a software back button.

The Android OS implements the software back button, not the apps...and it's always at the bottom of the screen where I can easily reach it. iOS does not implement any such back button - each app has to implement its own and the convention on iOS is to place that back button all the way in the upper left corner of the screen which is very inconvenient to reach for.

> I have no idea what you're talking about. (re: organizing icons)

So, let's imagine that you have 3 app icons on one of your home screens in iOS...

Can you put one of them in the lower right corner? Nope.

Can you put one of them all the way on the right side while the other 2 stay on the left? Nope.

Can you do anything to position them absolutely? No you cannot.

You must resort to jailbreaking or other hackery (like blank icons) to make this work.
Democracy is socially-accepted extortion from successful. So any proposed Democracy 2.0 that reduce welfare spending, will be met with opposition from people. This predicts quite many behaviours of people that supposedely support Freedom/Independece/etc.

As someone who has little experience with FPGAs beyond some experiments with a Spartan-6 dev board that mostly involved learning to write VHDL and building a minimal CPU, I found the simulator to be of limited use. My tiny projects were small enough that the education simulator was plenty fast. It was nice when I didn't have the board available, and occasionally, the logic analyzer was useful when I didn't understand what my code was doing to a data structure. But usually, it was just a lot easier to simply flash the board and run the thing.

What's the use of a simulator when you can spin up an AWS instance and run your program on a real FPGA?
It's been in vogue in the USA for a while too but I think the market is still pretty small compared to candies like M&Ms.
Because "mentions" just means Amazon links right now. Most people don't buy them on Amazon, and even if you do, you don't need to link to it. You can just say "MacBook Pro" and everyone knows what you're talking about.
I know almost nothing about Fitbit, but for the most part their image is positive. Could you elaborate on what's wrong with Fitbit devices?
On the Mac it's worse: the drivers are not NVIDIA's (which are relatively high quality) but instead Apple's own and have become horrendously bad in the past few years. I've lost count of the number of just plain broken functionality and hard system crashes I've had to deal with doing graphics programming with Apple drivers, including a random out of bounds memory read (security sensitive? who knows!) that was particularly fun.

As far as I can tell, Apple has set a new record for how quickly you can go from the best OpenGL drivers in the industry to the worst.
The First and Only Extended Battery for the GoPro Session
Hardcore Solaris user here: Solaris 10 on intel is my last Solaris I'm ever going to run. After:

a) Bart Smaalders (with plenty of help from Glynn Foster and Shawn Walker) introduced IPS into Solaris

b) they did away with JumpStart(TM)

c) they did away with compressed Flash(TM) archives

d) they did away with sparse zones

e) Oracle closed the source code

I went to illumos / SmartOS and never looked back. I understand from a fellow engineer who still runs Oracle Solaris that 11.3 is the latest version, and I couldn't care less. I will never accept IPS because it has no preinstall / preremove / postinstall / postremove on purpose. Never, ever. I do my own builds of SmartOS from source code, PXE boot it from the network, and all is well with the world.
Krita 3.1 Release Candidate
The 99% lindt is one of my favourite chocolates. The whole process of enjoying dark chocolate is different than regular milk chocolate. I noticed that people who like milk chocolate usually consume large quantities. On the other hand dark chocolate lovers eat chocolate slowly allowing it to melt in the mouth.
NESTLE: I'm not chemist, biologist or nutritionist, but here is big chance to make something good for the world. If this patent is good for humans, and doesn't change taste much - SHARE IT! With today's social media, this would only bring more people to buy your products, than not.
Ad-Hoc part time needs. Mostly PHP and JS, some Go, some python, test case building, admin reports, ELK, Metabase
Finally. The basic offer is something a lot of other providers already have. Not sure about the advanced one. Sounds quite expensive. $3,000/month plus extra traffic costs.

And I don't understand which traffic they bill. Usually AWS bills outgoing traffic, but for DDOS costs only occur ingress, or am I wrong? Can't see from the price list what they'll actually bill (ingress or egress).

CoInvestor | London / Canterbury, UK | Onsite/Remote | Full-time | Lead PHP Developer | £55k-£70k

CoInvestor is an investment platform providing access to growth capital, tax efficient equity and income opportunities. We allow private investors to mix and match between investing in funds or building their own portfolios of direct investments by co-investing alongside these same funds.

We are looking for a lead php developer, ideally you would have a PHP background, failing that any object orientated language would do. We are looking for someone who can get hands on with a little DevOps where necessary.

Responsibilities:

* Deliver excellent production quality code and promote the use of test-driven development where applicable.

* Promote code reusability where appropriate with a view to reducing the development costs by applying principles of agile
delivery.

* Work as an effective member of a scrum team, understand and contribute to the agile delivery process, taking ownership for the team's development quality from concept to production.

* Maintain, improve and hand over support documentation to the Operations team as part of production implementation.

* Ensure risks and issues are identified in a timely manner and effectively communicated with proposed resolution and mitigation strategies to the management team

A knowledge of AngularJs (1/2), REST API's & Laravel is desirable. Having experience with financial markets would be a bonus.

We have offices in Canterbury and London, and you would be expected to work at both locations from time to time as required. Potential for partially remote working depending on performance.

Well thats the thing though. Angel List got of the ground because it had some solid names behind it, can't remember if Product Hunt is the same. Did he do something before?

I understand there can be things like server cost and development etc. and if you want to do it quickly you need to build faster. But it just seems so unnecessary to me.

an anxiety disorder can increase the difficulty of making decisions, appearing as a trait like "perfectionism"
At the risk of continuing off-topic, the "outrage" over Nestle bottled water in this case was due to Nestle starting to draw large amounts of water at about 1/100th the residential water cost from an region under mandatory water restrictions due to drought. Blame Nestle and/or the local government, but it does seem short-sighted and suboptimal.

In general, though, bottled water isn't consumed close to its generation point: it's packaged in plastic bottles and trucked away. There's an environmental cost. And many of the bottles that are consumed locally contain the same water people could have gotten straight from the tap, so the environmental cost is lower but more pointless.

I will confess to not being an expert, but I disagree: I don't think it's sufficient to abstract away the lower-level substrate when the OP was referring to DNA as source code, which absolutely depends on that level of detail to both construct the system (the brain) and to enable the continued development and maturation of that system (a physical, real brain).

I was not referring to the huge volume of information necessary, as I acknowledge that as being "outside the system" for purposes of this discussion, so my apologies for any confusion I might have caused.

It may be possible that (and it is my belief that) there is a higher-level abstraction for the computations taking place in the brain, even if it is on the neuron-level, but at that point I don't think you can claim that the source code for that is going to fit under 700MB by using DNA as a baseline.
Much of this ("for some behind-the-scenes, non-investment reasons") you've simply made up for rhetorical reasons.

But even if you were right on the facts, this kind of rant makes for a bad HN comment. A good HN comment is one that contributes to thoughtful, curious discussion. Stimulating rage among those who already agree with you is the opposite of that. Since such comments routinely get upvoted, they're a particularly bad risk to this site.

We detached this comment from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13080432 and marked it off-topic.
I believe a narrow definition of pyramid scheme is if the payment is made solely for signing someone up under you. If the payment is made through commissions of sales rather than the merely based on new participants sigining up, ai don't think it's legally a pyramid scheme, more of an multi-level marketing scheme, though personally a practice I wouldn't sign up regardless...
I saw that story earlier on the BBC website and considered submitting it, but thought it wasn't really relevant to HN.

Still, now that it's here I can recount a story. I mentioned the headline to a friend who replied: "Who's Buzz Aldrin?"

They were serious, so I was wondering - consider the general populace in a Western country. What proportion would you expect to know who Buzz Aldrin is?
This is incorrect. There is no feature of iOS that behaves even remotely like the universal Android back button.
If you consider them as they are today (a niche site in the tech space) it 100% doesn't make sense.

If you think of it as funding to try and expand the site and topics and community into something much larger it makes considerably more sense.

I would much rather deal those "myths" than with the class of myths surrounding i++ being faster/lower than ++i or any of the non-sense around divisions.

At least people claiming something will be optimized away can readily be empirically tested in a way that most will listen to. I have no problem testing the / operator, but I have never had holders of such beliefs accept my results, but people claiming something like "virtual function calls can be optimized away" can handle it when I can demonstrated that inside a single binary they can be but at places like library boundaries they cannot.

> What on earth would you need funding for when you do a site like Product Hunt?

Because even though there are 300,000 - 500,000 new consumer products launched in the U.S. each year, 99% are generic commodities like a new kind of 2% milk or whatever. The number of new products that are actually interesting is very small, which means that there is a very high cost of discovering and reaching out to enough of these product makers to make the site viable.

C.f. why I shut down my previous startup: https://www.fwdeveryone.com/t/-Gk8HmiRSZ-mrUxE0rH3SQ/deadpoo...

It's definitely possible to do something successful in this space, but not as a bootstrapped startup. The AngelList acquisition makes perfect sense, because they can share the cost of leadgen while creating the opportunity to meet a wide range of founders' needs. There is a big opportunity here if someone is able to come in and execute a rollup and IPO, but those are extremely tricky to pull off.
I'd check out this story[1] on Jesse Willms, who made hundreds of millions of dollars distributing these types of products using an assortment of deceptive tactics.

That may not happen. According to various sources fuel sales are not where gas stations make their money. On average they are only bringing in 3 cents of profit on a gallon of fuel. They sell fuel primarily to attract customers and then make their profits on sales of snacks, cigarettes, lottery tickets, and the like. Disrupting the cycle of impulse buys by individuals lured to the store to buy fuel is likely to have a measurable impact on business, but it is unclear if this would drive any/some/most/all convenience stores out of business.
