Hi do you have any positions for summer 2017 internship?
Possibility and strategy are totally different animals. The fact is it is really hard to monetize a directory of things when you are not a party to the transaction.

The not-sexy model of charging businesses for exposure and leads works (see http://www.capterra.com/) but is probably not nearly rich enough to satisfy Product Hunt's VCs.
Would this work for cheesecake? I love the texture but hate the excessive sweetness. Maybe this would be a solution.

I have been trying to cancel my Comcast internet+cable connection to a pure internet one for 2 years. (I haven't even set up my set top box.) But every time I call them they give me a promotional deal which costs less than pure internet (@the same speed).
No. Look at his picks to head government agencies. His pick for the EPA is a climate change denier.
Infinite Food | Mechanical Engineering Founder | Kunming, Yunnan, China | VISA, ONSITE http://8-food.com

Infinite Food is building an innovative network of automated food preparation and retail service locations. We provide convenient, fresh, hot, personalized meals direct to customers who order and pay from their smartphones.

We are a bootstrapped startup in China's most livable city, currently in hardware prototyping phase with a comfortable office/lab, a legal entity, and a team of two. We mostly cycle or walk to work, don't currently draw salaries and are engaged in refining our prototype before seeking investment circa mid 2017 when we aim to be ready to manufacture. We have investors lining up already.

We would consider bringing on a new founder with strong mechanical engineering experience. CAM, RP/RT, foodtech, materials science and commercial manufacturing experience well regarded.

> a series of remarkable coincidences

Could you elaborate? What are these coincidences and what is remarkable about them? And please don't say "read the emails!" or "watch David Seaman!" like the others.
Should users evaluate both Svelt and Ractive, or should Ractive be considered deprecated in favor of Svelte?
His personal characteristics are irrelevant to the economics; he raised money from A-list VCs and failed to do anything notable with it, resulting in a bailout from one of his existing investors and a marginally better employment situation for his staff.

Nice guy? Fuck you, go home and play with your kids. You lose that excuse when you raise a Series A.
I'm surprised they don't list the IBM term: "RA" ("resource action").
Ask HN: Any Genomics Data Startup focusing on Cancer Research?
I have been going through the Genomics Data Commons portal of NCI. Are there any Cancer Data Science based startups who are using this kind of data to directly help informed cancer patients of the options available to them?
What does that have to do with the proliferation of self-driving and/or electrified cars? This is a non-sequitur. Do you think tractors and trucks will disappear?
Right, so "Saudia Arabia financing HRC" is not a factual statement.

"Saudia Arabia gave money to the Clinton foundation" is a factual statement. So did many countries.
Benefits of Using VR for Data Visualization
I'm not talking about Haskell, i'm talking about Scala written in a functional style where we've used a lot of the concepts from Haskell. We're using it at Verizon for extremely large projects and it's working quite well. I know you've been pointed that out by others, so when you say there's no anecdotal data, how can you justify that?
I've talked to others who work at extremely large corporations finding success with it too in extremely large projects.
He was always insane, it was just better hidden. See the very end of his 1997 book "The Dilbert Future" where he essentially tells us how he bends the universe to his will with "The Secret" style positive thinking.
> Because your JavaScript code will be part of the request/response path, it must be lean, mean, and self-contained. It cannot make calls to other web services and it cannot access other AWS resources. It must run within 128 MB of memory, and complete within 50 ms.

I'm having a hard time conceptualizing what kind of logic you would run on these edge functions?

You have access to headers, so also things like client cookies, so could you use that to potentially personalize/templatize the body (once they have body mutation abilities)?

Or is it really just about static content routing? Detect google bot user agent and send them to resource A versus B etc...
Of course, as it would be a lot smaller. Or have air bubbles inside.

Chocolate is made of fat and sugar. If you put in less sugar, you put in more fat for the same amount of chocolate bar. It's not rocket science.
Permafrost is actually a huge carbon sink as frozen plant matter does not decay trapping a lot of carbon. Now on 10,000+ year time scales it may be a net gain, but people are really only concerned eight very short term (<200 year) effects.

PS: Bogs have a similar effect which is why you can dry and then burn them.
SEEKING WORK - Paris (France), Flanders (Belgium), on site wherever if reimbursed, remote

Data scientist. Python (scipy, scikit-learn), R (hadleyverse) and node.js/javascript/coffeescript for glue and web interfaces. Familiar with pretty much any kind of statistical analysis and quite a bit of machine learning. I also do a lot of more warehousey stuff, like integrating the data from various analytics services (Google, Adobe, Facebook, whatever) for media companies. Particularly interested in analytics and metrics. MS in statistics but before that worked as a back-end Python coder for 5-6 years. See some of my code at https://github.com/debrouwere/. I also teach workshops (anywhere you're willing to fly me to) about everything statistics, in particular to non-techies: how to interpret and communicate numbers, how to figure when correlation does or does not indicate causation, how to read scientific papers, data visualization.
After opening ought not be an issue because presumably refrigeration is used and the product is consumed before spoilage occurs.

If I understand correctly high sugar contect uncreases the shelf life. Though with in-container pasteurisation and modern preservatives I'm not sure high sugar content is necessary.
I could definitely find uses for it but my problem is that it is expensive, not user friendly, and makes poor quality things.
Icelander here. We generally do this for American recipes, European recipes are usually not as sweet.
I previously built the community sites Techendo, MakerSpace, and the now defunct SchoolYard. I love building community. I also love tech, and I owe a lot to what this community has done for me. It's been there when I was alone, when I needed help, and when I wanted brilliant, likeminded individuals to collaborate with. I want to help make the tech scene better through creating a stronger community of people who want to inspire and help one another.

I want to create something with a real lifespan that pays forward everything everyone has ever done for me. I want to amplify all that is good and right with tech and the community that dug this loner outcast kid out of a very non tech- friendly area, helped him find something he could love, and gave him hope that he could build something beautiful.

If you want to help, check out what we're working on over at Baqqer[0]. Give me feedback about what you love/hate so we can build a strong community. I'm not interested in selling out, or colluding to drive any one particular message/theme/group. Tech can be better than this, and should strive to that end, and we should all support independent endeavors to make this as fun and fair for everyone.

Speaking of "cheaper bands" I don't think you could get a much cheaper band than on the Charge HR.

As evinced by myself and many people in this thread alone, you'd better buy yourself some Gorilla Glue if you're buying a Charge HR, because the band is useless, to the point of being "not fit for purpose". Not that FitBit will accept a return, of course...

"We can give you 25% off a new FitBit!" hahaha. No. I'll lament my purchase, apply more glue to keep the band even slightly attached, until it finally gives up the ghost, and then I'll never buy another FitBit product again.

Tufekci sounds quite pessimistic. This quote stuck out to me as representative:

"What I see hopeful is recognition that putting all this burden on the shoulders of every individual sounds great on paper, just have an informed citizenry who’s just going to spend half their time on Wikipedia and half their time sort of searching for fact checks, and being replaced by the fact that no you can’t do it that way because people cannot function that way."
While having minimal access to the request to do things like add headers is of course quite useful, the people I've known who most want code execution at the edge are either already using or looking at using ESI (Edge-Side Includes, as provided by Akamai and Varnish), in order to express things like "use the cached content for almost the entire page but add some per-user information to the response via a secondary virtual request (the content for which might also be cached at the edge!) for people who are logged on; they say that at some point they will allow access to and potentially modification of the body, but it isn't clear to me that this will be as potent as (even if it eventually becomes technically as powerful as) ESI.
He's referring to the fact that his tweets won't appear in peoples streams, this is a way to reduce his influence in the twitter sphere.
While true, I don't know that is the role that Product Hunt is actually playing. The curated nature means that highly placed products were defined more by what VCs and those connected to VCs wanted to feature, which (naturally) tended to be things they invested in or wanted to do the founder a favor instead of things that were "actually interesting".

Once you have categories called 'Slack', 'Amazon' and 'Netflix' as maybe half the current top products do, you've sort of given up your claim to being primarily focused on helping startups.
I loved that whole paragraph. I could just hear John de Lancie reciting it in the voice of Discord
Couldn't you have your apps primary routing handling in this?
I respect that Linux works for Netflix. However IMHO:

BTRFS/ZoL doesn't beat Illumos ZFS. FreeBSD ZFS is pretty standalone in the OS; It can only since recently deal with a hot spare drive and thats it. IO scheduling on FreeBSD is spartan; It will always favor large IO and starve small read / writes.

LXC doesn't beat FreeBSD jails or Solaris zones since LXC is not considered a security boundary.

Openvswitch can perhaps measure itself with illumos crossbow.

Systemd doesn't beat SMF on Illumos. I think SMF really nailed it (Systemd is overkill and plain RC scripts in FreeBSD are a pain).

So IMHO Solaris/Illumos/SmartOS sits nicely between Linux and FreeBSD.

Eh, I remember the days when if I wanted less sugar, I'd just use less sugar, and the word "engineering" and "patenting" wouldn't be right for the food discussion.
The blog post says that one of the primary use cases is to help preview content show up correctly on Facebook, etc. So I don't think client-side routing for static apps will work in this case.

1. You are correct about the potential for long term damage. However the evidence I have seem indicates the permanent damage is due to neurotoxicity while the serotonin is depleted, while the serotonin depletion itself is temporary. Contrary to other posts here, the serotonin depletion can last in the order of 2 years, however, although this is usually in extreme cases.

2. When speaking about potential for abuse, it's worth making a distinction between drugs which cause dependency and/or chemical craving, and drugs that don't. You can develop habits without dependence or craving, but that can apply to almost anything, and is much less of an indicator that the thing is harmful. MDMA certainly had Prentiss for habitual use, usually as part of a multiple-drug-abuse condition, but in and of itself does not have dependence or craving properties.
I really wish AWS CodeBuild supported .net\C# as a preconfigured environment. Hopefully .net is not too far down on their priority list...right now we are using Jenkins.

SEEKING THE HOLY GRAIL (& WORK) | Remote

I am currently on an archeological excursion with Indiana Jones and have found myself with some spare time. Instead of staring at the sand, I have decided to unpack my solar powered MacBook (a little souvenir from my trip to the future) and help some folks with their challenges and dreams.

I am best known for developing whipOS, the personal, powerful and playful operating system for whips. I also know a thing or two about creating websites, mobile apps and desktop apps. On top of that, I have developed whipCloud, the cloud service for keeping your whips in sync, which has taught me valuable things about setting up server environments.

Now it's your turn. Visit www.techhawk.io to get in touch with me and tell me about your challenges.

Thanks for reading! Live long and prosper!
And that's why Amazon's phone-interview coding exercise is a rather complicated coding question delivered under proctoring, rather than simply fizzbuzz itself: to actually filter those people out early and avoid the cost of flying them to Seattle, rather than just "going through the motions" of doing so.
Yup, even the people who are "watch people" (ie - they think nothing of collecting expensive swiss hand-made ones) are the same.

Don't understand the negativity.

What Ryan and Product Hunt did was incredible. So many people wanted to create an alternative to Hacker News and Reddit for product people. Everyone else failed but they figured it out. That's awesome.

Product Hunt personally helped me in my goal of becoming a independent app maker by showcasing my app https://www.producthunt.com/posts/focus. As of tomorrow I'm full-time indie (YES!) and I proudly display my Product Hunt badge on my app's page https://heyfocus.com/. I didn't have any connections there—I just made a product people liked.

And AngelList seems like a great fit. It looks like they're building a crowd-funding platform, and Product Hunt as a marketing/discovery engine makes perfect sense. In that context, Product Hunt is worth a bit of money.

This seems like a great outcome. Congrats!
1) Being pedantic real quick, it's a ~2x win. And yeah, it's not the 100x most VCs dream about, but it's still a heck of a lot better than an embarrassing 0x loss after your founder shouts his billion dollar aspirations from the rooftops. The important thing here isn't that VC's are making money, it's that they're using an elitist social circle to absolve losses. "Too connected to fail", if you will.

2) How does this make it any better? What you're essentially saying here is instead of investors paying themselves cash they're just shuffling shares of stock from one investment vehicle to another... if this is true then in some cases investors are actually increasing their share in AngelList simply by, in your own words ("1x isn't making anybody happy"), making a failed investment. That doesn't seem above board to me.

3) If you're honestly trying to compare late 90's era Google with ProductHunt then I think that proves my point more than anything I can say myself

The repetition isn't redundant. It's for emphasis. "I don't got no..." is much stronger than "I don't have any...".
Dang eejits.
> "the US have grown to a country based on consumption, spending and borrowing, but not on producing anything."

Eh, not really. Services and other tertiary industries are just as much "production" as a factory or a mine is. The US government, and US citizens, are not much more indebted than average. You don't "run out of money" by buying foreign goods.
TechCrunch was WAY more popular that ProductHunt ever will be, was in a different and more frothy media landscape, had a very real and lucrative sub-business called the TC Disrupt conference (which I hear accounted for something like 75% of TechCrunch profits at the time) and still was acquired for only about $25-40MM, depending on who you ask.

Which makes this PH acquisition even more of a head scratcher.
