Ask HN: Ideal process to identify users, do research and design product
Hey All,

We are a 2 years young B2C Grocery delivery startup ( Equivalent to Instacart ) and what to re-think everything to provide great consumer experience.

What is/are the ideal process to:
1. Identify our users
2. Segment them
3. Find their jobs-to-be-done (http://bit.ly/2gDcBIR)
4. Build Information IA
5. Design process post step 4.

All the article I found were around processes design studios follow to make product for their clients. Not many by top successful consumer products like Uber, Instacart, Facebook, Airbnb, etc

Can you please help and share your insights.

Thanks
Ditto. Remote and non-remote, secrets and other slightly-less-but-still-somewhat secret files. Before that we handled it via 1Password, but it's so handy to just `cp` the files to the private/you,co-worker folder and do whatever you need with the files.
All of these data-retention laws are not about protecting people from terrorism or child pornography. They are about big interests being able to better manage their information. So that less of it can leak out and damage the institution.

No doubt that all sorts of quasi-government organisations and big businesses are going to use this to ensure that no bad information will leak out.
the retro categories are because sceners also enjoyed and used to code demos for the C64 and Amiga platforms when they were popular back in the day.

While you could do some funky stuff with IE6 JS, you also couldn't really do anything. Don't forget how utterly slow JS was back then, not because the computers were slower, but because it was interpreted and run token-by-token in a very inefficient manner. This, and nobody took it seriously then as a language to write actual applications in. If a scener had to do something splashy in the browser, they'd go for Flash (and still groan about its lack of performance).

If you told someone back then about "asm.js", they'd think you were making a joke, and a pretty funny one at that (like if you told them Microsoft would become a platinum member of the Linux Foundation kind of joke back then).

> ...but I feel that someone would just find an exploit in JS, break out of the sandbox, and use that to run a native demo instead.

Well, there's rules. There always have been rules. You can't read out default icons, themes, desktop background images from the system folder to obtain some nice stock graphics for use in a 4096 byte demo, either.

If your entry hacks the compo machine and doesn't do it with an extreme amount of grace and style, expect to be booed off stage. With sufficient style and awesomeness, you might just get disqualified :)
We use it at work to share tmate (https://tmate.io/) sessions. I wrote a shell script to save the session to our mutual shared private keybase directory: https://github.com/sukima/dotfiles/blob/master/home/.bin/tma...
I rather like Trello's little dog informing me of updates.
Yes, Hamburg as well, but I think Cologne definitely had the bigger impact :)

Eichenwald claims on live TV the email in question was "manipulated" by Russia. Just watch the video that Eichenwald himself embedded in his article (at 01:49).

> There are two possibilities: One is that both the Russians and Donald Trump were tricked into believing of a manipulated email or the Russians manipulated it and Donald Trump fell for it

Greenwald counters emails were not doctored/manipulated and that saying they are is "Fake News" itself.

Greenwald is actually right: The emails were not manipulated as far as we know, and there is strong circumstantial evidence that there was no manipulation (e.g. thanks to gmail DKIM signatures).

The quote taken from the email that Trump and RT/Sputnik attributed to Blumenthal was indeed misattributed and actually a quote from an Eichenwald piece that Blumenthal merely copied in full into his email. That criticism is very valid, but that misrepresentation by Trump and/or RT/Sputnik does not make the email itself "manipulated".

After your edit, does your question really make sense to you still? Of course nuclear is non fossil?

And yes, whether we go full renewable or a mix of nuclear and renewable is IMO a second order question, the main focus should be carbon neutral to negative economy ASAP.

Where would you park the self-driving cars then?

Considering in most cases > 80% of cars are on the road at the same time during rush hours, you can't save much with self-driving cars — not more than with a well-working transit system already.

So you'd need huge parking areas somewhere still.

And the "increade density, reduce parking requirements" — if you do that, you can just improve transit, and get the same advantage.

But that doesn't happen.

People want to own a car, have it always available, and don't want to share.

Self-Driving cars provide no advantage there.
I can't remember for sure the usecase or which specific browser, but I remember sometime in the 90s (whatever IE W95 or 98 had? Possible Netscape?) having to create a barebone .html with just the href and opening that to have a link to right click.

I think it actually was specifically to save files, before content types, and saving binaries as raw text was unreliable at best.

I didn't expect the same to be true 20 years later.
Yes, and both rely on Pnueli's temporal logic. But Harel and Lamport apply a similar theory to different domains, neither suggesting the exclusion of the application to the other domain. Lamport offers abstract state machines as a universal mathematical formalism for reasoning about discrete dynamical systems regardless of how they're constructed, while Harel offers concrete state machines for programming safety-critical, hard-realtime embedded systems that are easy for both humans and machines to analyze.
I have the book here. The only part he talks about the dropping of the bomb itself are these passages (p155-156):

[After the first successful bomb test, all the scientists at Los Alamos were celebrating except one: Bob Wilson.]

> He said, "It's a terrible thing we made."

> I said, "But you started it. You got us into it."

> You see, what happened to me—what happened to the rest of us—is we started for a good reason, then you're working very hard to accomplish something and it's a pleasure, it's excitement. And you stop thinking, you know; you just stop. Bob Wilson was the only one who was thinking about it, at that moment.

> I returned to civilization shortly after that [...] and my first impression was a strange one. [...] I sat in a restaurant in New York, for example, and I looked out at the buildings and I began to think, you know, about how much the radius of the Hiroshima bomb damage was and so forth ... How far from here was 34th Street? ... All those buildings, all smashed—and so on. And I would go along and I would see people building a bridge, or they'd just be making a road, and I though they're crazy, they don't understand, they don't understand. Why are they making new things? It's so useless.

> But, fortunately, it's been useless for almost forty years now, hasn't it? So I've been wrong about it being useless making bridges and I'm glad those other people had the sense to go ahead.

The line "I'm glad those other people had the sense to go ahead" may be the one that seems to praise the decision to drop the bomb. But I think he's referring to the other people who went ahead and made bridges, when all seemed futile to him.
Ask HN: What online course platforms have you used to *take* courses?
Another thread is asking about platform recommendations for creating a course, but I firmly believe in going to where customers are already gathering.

So, what online course platforms have you used to enroll in (and ideally complete) a free, freemium, or paid course?

And particularly for paid courses, what induced to to make the purchase?
Marketing is quite literally "going to market". In the post-industrial age, it had its beginnings in manufacturing and the supply chain but has evolved into today's concept of understanding and meeting customer's needs. Marketing is the most important section of a business as it doesn't matter what you built if you don't have a market willing to exchange value for it.

The comments here seem to highlight the very same misunderstandings in this article. Marketing is not advertising (which is just a small subset of distributing a message). Many ads are badly done, mostly because the ad industry is setup for cheap volume and has work incentives that perpetuate this (although it is slowly changing).

Telling a story, understanding your market and creating customers is the primary purpose of marketing. Read any of several good books on this and you will have the biggest key to success.
Wow, for a knowledge worker that's not a very good grasp of nuance.

The UK has signalled it's not interested in unlimited, no questions asked immigration and actually would rather like to keep the trade as much as possible. That is very far from "no trade or immigration at all".

So hey, go ahead and don't consider London because you think it's suddenly a hermit hole. I doubt the country will suffer from missing such insight.
I don't think the responder suggested to fake work either, but it's still 2 days wasted and no work done.

Ask HN: A Cloud Platform that will Revolutionize Healthcare and every other field
www.gyrcon.com
Gyrcon is an IoT cloud platform that will revolutionize healthcare, agriculture, business and every other field you can think of.

The idea of Gyrcon is to allow people to connect their devices (including cars and home...) to a big community of Apps and Services that will allow you to add new abilities to your devices.

I'm looking for feedback from you:
1- When you read the headline, what are your first impressions of the startup?
2- After reading the whole page, do you feel encouraged to subscribe? if not what's the one thing that if existed will make you never hesitate to write your email
3- What's the one feature you think will make Gyrcon's platform different than any other platform
4- Any additional feedback/expectations?

Thanks for your time
What are the chances that some lone developers will pick this source up and patch it up enough to be acceptable inside the kernel?

I mean, it is all GPL, so it's perfectly okay. Is it too much for some dev in seek of fame to do this?
This is written very confrontational, but worth a discussion, so I vouched for it:

Google has been known to lock users out of all their services if they are believed to have violated the ToS of even one service.

Having self-driving cars from Google integrated into the same ecosystem could have serious repercussions for users, so is this wise? Do we need legal changes, or should Google just change their model for locking out users?

Forcing companies to serve users isn't really an option either, but Taxis have to do that — how can we solve these issues in a realistic way?
That's like saying if Canada doesn't try to join the EU it doesn't understand what trade looks like.

Yeah, actually, you can do trade and do it successfully without tying all treaties together into a political state-building project. Everywhere else in the world manages this pretty successfully.
> But... With a review process every day and every week, GTD-style. I see this need from my notes over the last couple of years from the job. Not usable for documentation (as I had planned) or helpful for other people.

I've resorted to a big folder of paper for this very reason. I really want to do it all electronically, but my experience is for my own part I'm too likely to go off and start jotting notes in some random file somewhere, or test a new tool, and the notes end up sitting there, not getting referenced because I forget all the places I've made notes.

I've started looking at a computer screen as a window into a space that is otherwise largely hidden. The problem is there can be clutter everywhere you're not looking, and things get forgotten, or lost, unless they're regularly reviewed.

Paper solves that for me by being physically there, cluttering up my desk if I don't organise them, or in my notebook, making it easy do review and distill. Even when there's a lot of them, the physical bulk of it creates an implicit reminder to flick through it and see if its still relevant. Whatever is not still relevant goes in an archive for scanning.

Things that requires too much writing for me to want to do it on paper I still do electronically, but I'll make a paper note of it: e.g. it may be referenced from my list of projects.

I still hope to find an electronic setup that I can stick to consistently, but I think for that to work for me, I'd need to e.g. be able to dedicate a large enough workspace to be able to set aside a separate screen to keep my notes up and physically visible all the time (even if just as an icon on the desktop), or find another way of keeping them "physically there" in the same way.

And somehow politics ~= news. That was the first meaning of journalism, relating politics.
But it's not designed to increase the relative chance that any individual item will be remembered.

You're talking about what it was designed to do, I'm hypothesizing about what it's actually doing.
I wasn't aware of this, thank you for the heads up. India is critical - hundreds of millions of soon-to-become energy consumers, it's imperative that gas/coal gets trumped by alternative thats both carbon neutral and cheaper.

If India gets this right the next bigger problem will be Indonesia - unfortunately with a much more worrisome government.

Those are not the 'Feynmann Lectures' that became the books, are they? (From the titles, they seem to be different, but the videos do not play on my browser).
I disagree with you (a lot, actually). You can never trust just one news outlet alone, but only ever several news outlets+reputed press agencies. That doesn't mean that you need to compulsively check all of them constantly, though, and that was my whole point. If there is some real news to share, all newspapers will quickly jump on it anyway, which a quick comparison will easily confirm.

You can read any reputable well-established newspaper in the world whose language you understand and be well-informed enough for anything except for making particular business decisions. It doesn't matter at all whether the newspaper is right wing and conservative or liberal and progressive. That's because they report the same daily news which is based on the same reality, and any newspaper worth reading clearly distinguishes between opinion and news. I've compared many newspapers during my lifetime, and the only differences between them in the news sections is in the selection (what goes to front, what's on page 3) and some bias in the presentation, and neither small differences in the selection nor any bias in the presentation is of much relevance to any adult with a brain of his own.

The tone of the paper is vastly irrelevant for its news contents, it only influences whether you personally like editorials and invited opinions or not, and these are not news, of course.
I'm going to disagree with you. I live in a country where the local politics always floods the news. There is always a corruption charge against the president or some other politician. I find it very repetitive. Nothing is new.

I'm a technology enthusiast, so I would rather read articles on that.

I also feel much happier when not informed about the politics about my country.
Have you checked their blog?

ABP still is "evaluating" that, and currently has a beta where acceptable ads are handled by an ad network as intermediate, which validates the quality of your ad, and handles payment to get it whitelisted.
Why would anyone be surprised? Most people who strike it rich weren't working for the money anyway, so their incentives aren't going away. The question is whether (and how much) money will make the prospect of spending it instead of working for the rest of their lives more attractive than what made them work (presumably hard) in the first place...
Hacker News: you publish your first learning project web app that allows to post comments and the first comments posted are a rant and two tries of hacking the app:

- "A haven for ridiculous clickbait sites like this one"

- "<script>alert('hello')</script>"

- "SQL injection'; delete from posts;"
Very interesting,I wonder how would this tie into a possible basic income scenario?Or the incentives of rich people are different from the average Joe`s?
Most DC PDUs will stagger your outlet power on to stagger the initially large power draws.
"Both sides" is just a shorthand expression for principles otherwise better understandable as "due process", but this is hard to summarize in just some words or a couple sentences.

It basically means there are two sides (at least) to everything, that can't just be disregarded. Exceptions prove the rule, of course.

On another point, Hotelling's law is a really poor example when it comes to debates or questions of politics, in my opinion.
Is this a feel good piece for the working class? Don't get me wrong - I have no experience with getting rich overnight (not that I'm not trying).

However, going back to employment seems like an utter waste of a millionaire's time - I have loads of plans which would make the world a better place, for example: launching an incubator/hacker camp for troubled kids in the poor area where I'm from. I only need maybe 1 or 2 millions to do that.

Why would I go back to working for a company where I have way less power to change basically anything, really?
If you're calling fsync on your painting thread, you're going to have trouble hitting 60FPS no matter what. What a clickbaity post.
Eh, depends what's important to you.

Do you want to know about awful stuff people are doing to each other across the planet or spend an extra half hour on your pet woodwork project?

Choose the project most of the time and you'll likely be happier, though less informed. Why is it so important to be constantly reminded how awful humanity is every few minutes?

There were similar tables at a large german corporation I worked for. These were basically agreed upon with the worker union for the different job levels. On paper it sounded good, because there seemed to be an exact definition on what the pay grade for the given job tasks should be.

However in reality nobody cared about this official tables. People were just promoted when there was money to promote anyone and when there was noone in line waiting for a promotion in front of them.
> Where would you park the self-driving cars then?

They will be driving around and not be parked..

> Considering in most cases > 80% of cars are on the road at the same time during rush hours, you can't save much with self-driving cars — not more than with a well-working transit system already.

Maybe self driving cars can be the "last/first mile" in transit so that more people actually will use public transit.

> People want to own a car, have it always available, and don't want to share.

I don't want to own a car and no-one that I know of in my surroundings want to own a car. Car companies even do private leasing now because people do not want to own a car.

> Self-Driving cars provide no advantage there.

I think you have to think bigger. Why would you want to own a car if you could call one at any moment with your phone with an app?

They could also go to park in more remote areas, that are uncomfortable for people to walk to, and come back when asked to.
Looks like a good strategy to find the job you're going to enjoy, but is it working well for you in the long run? Or you just have enough savings at bank to not rush until you find a good position?

Since I wish to find some non-freelance job in future, but requirement of bullshit talk scares me. And few times when I attempted to act similar to what you posted I just bumped into a wall of misunderstanding.
I wish the article quoted statistics on how many rich people actually quit (and I mean really rich, not $5million, which isn't really enough to retire comfortable for life these days).
Well, it turns out there are folks who like Apple's form language but can't get (all of) their work done on macOS or don't want to use it for some reason. So there's a target audience for Linux on the Mac. I'm not saying it's a huge crowd.

I love anki and have been using it for years.

One thing I definitely recommend is _not_ importing someone elses deck of a gazillion cards. It's completely overwhelming. Create your own prompts (you'll learn better that way anyway) and slowly slowly increase it.

I've also started using it to remember friends partners & kids names, as I can never ever remember them (except now I can ;) A bit cheaty, but hey, whatever works.
Tips, Tools, and Templates for a Winning Influencer Outreach Campaign
I am a fellow engineer (Satellites in my case) and we have been fed up with engineering-tools in general (specially systems engineering), which seems to only consist of Excel-Spreadsheets and document-management systems. Even in the space industry there has been practically no innovation since the 60's more than digitalization of documents.

We are working since 1.5 years with some engineers on a software to solve this: www.valispace.com

I would be curious to hear from you whether what we are building with a focus on the space-industry also applies to structural engineering.
