Hey all, I wanted to post my prototype here and get HN's feedback before submitting my YC application.

This project came out of the combination of my work on web telephony from the last several years and the troubles that I've had communicating with the family members that I have overseas.

Skype is amazing. But it can't beat a phone call. And if you're trying to deal with a company, a bank, or (god forbid) trying to sort out Visa issues you need to be able to make a call from anywhere.

I realized that its the 21st century and it doesn't make any sense for international calling to be so difficult or expensive. Calling should be free and available to anyone in the world and I wanted to make that happen.

I believe that through sponsors and a Tom's Shoes-style model where those that can pay for extra features subsidize the costs for those that really need the free service, we can make this work. And not only can this be a viable business model but also something that brings a huge amount of social good to the world.

International communication should be easy. And we want get there, even if its one country at a time.

I appreciate any and all feedback!
The fundamental underlying problem is that realtors are in a lemon market. The combination of low transaction volume, low cost to enter, and a general inability of customers to determine quality until the deal is done is a toxic blend.

I fully believe that there are realtors out there who make their clients money. There is, however, no reliable way for me to differentiate them from the lazy scumbags.
I don't see anything in PSD2 that prevents direct person-to-person transfers between banks. SEPA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_Euro_Payments_Area#Char... ) already requires banks to allow free transfers (with a few rare exceptions).

Comparatively, I sit somewhere around $0.0028/min and I am not trying to optimize my costs by doing LCR on the few tens of thousands of minutes we push. Could probably halve that if I pulled in more providers.
SQL – Synchronized Query Language
Amazon needs to get a lot better at selling people complimentary goods. Once I buy something, I frequently see multiple advertisements for that exact product. Why can't they develop a database of products that compliment each other and so when someone buys a kitchen tool, they start advertising cookbooks.

Example: "On Prime Day, Members purchased over 215,000 Instant Pot 7-in-1 Multi-Functional Pressure Cookers"

http://www.cnbc.com/2016/07/13/amazon-prime-day-is-biggest-d...

If you have a database of 100s of thousands of people who all are suddenly looking for recipes and raw materials for a pressure cooker, why not advertise to them?

While it's sometimes okay to interpret the output of a model as a confidence, you do so at your own peril because that's not really what the model is optimizing. There are often cases where the model outputs a very high "confidence", but the model uncertainty is (or should be) very high. This is generally the case anytime you give the model data that is very far (in some sense) from the data that it's been trained on.
I don't understand why this author is so vehemently against this kind of debt?

We all have to pay SOMETHING to live somewhere. If he's trying to make the point you could end up over time with more assets if you rented and invested the difference, that's an incorrect assumption in most places.

What I'm currently paying for a mortgage on a house (counting PITI) is at least the same, if not LESS than renting. I would be living in lesser surroundings in a rental for the equivalent cost. So why would I not buy?

Yes, I'm responsible for repairs and upkeep. But I didn't overbuy and in 10 years I'll own outright.

I believe this is the case for most of the country - that the difference between the cost of rent and the cost for a mortgage is not great enough to make one the clear choice over the other.

If you never plan to sell it, run the numbers and understand compounding. If you fall onto hard times financially and miss payments, your compounded debt is going to balloon.

And if you fall on hard times and can't pay your rent, you're in the same place -- homeless.

And if you end up in a position where you’re paying down a mortgage for the rest of your life, you’re effectively a renter. In which case it might have made more sense to rent to begin with and instead invest what would have been debt payments in a low cost index fund. Which perhaps would have allowed you to buy a home outright with your savings later on.

Probably not, because if you decide to take on a mortgage that you end up paying on forever, I cannot imagine that you'd be able to save enough on the difference between rent and a mortgage to ever catch up to rising property prices to buy outright.

Or if you never plan to sell and you’re adamant in not being a noble renter, then save up enough money to build a house with your two bare hands and some help. This is a lot cheaper than mortgaging. And it’ll make you a more skilled and interesting person, and you’ll be a real homeowner if that’s what you’re after, not a fake mortgaged one. Rent or build yourself.

Raise your bare hand if you have the skills to build a house with your own bare hands, help or no. I would love to have that kind of skill, but it is at least a circular argument - to get the skill to build requires finding the time to gain that skill, but if you're working to save and/or pay rent then when do you find that time? And what if you just don't have the physical ability to do it?
I totally agree! That is how I did it :-)

> The history of computers [...] is better understood as a history of ideas, mainly ideas that emerged from mathematical logic

I have an advanced degree in CS and have done my fair share of theory, but ideas from logic are the cherry on the cake and did not create the computer. The real unsung heroes are those who invented relays, amplifiers and punched card machines. Babbage had a design in 1840, Boole had a theory in 1850; but without components neither of them made practical impact, and became nearly forgotten.

Once relays etc. became widely available in the 1930s it was anyone's game. Konrad Zuse built his first machine in his parents' apartment [1]. Feynman did complex computations at Los Alamos with punched card machines. And, as the article mentions, Shannon created a theory of relay circuits because they were already building complex circuits.

They gave you something equivalent to a single server solution. So for simple apps it's fine, but if you have a complicated app that needs a lot of distributed networking to handle the load then good luck.

Don't forget you also need to migrate all your code, host your own servers, handle downtime, etc.
I really like the idea of it. Especially if the working hours are not very flexible - downtime is inevitable. Whether you are waiting for something, or it's just one of those days (or mornings or whatever). I always have some side/fun/educational projects active and it would be really cool to work on them on such time and, very likely, beneficial to the company because of new skills I'd pick up, etc.

But that's in theory. Curious how do such things work out in practice :) I guess you need really strong technical leadership to pull this off, to convince non-technical execs that it's not time wasted, etc.
Idea to Production in Gitlab 9.0
Interesting, I don't think I've ever used OData. It looks like OData is similar to JSONAPI? GraphQL is strictly a specification and query language for making queries against your API in the same way that your backend makes queries against your database. You can grab as much data as you want in a single request, as you can with certain RESTful protocols like JSONAPI. However, with GraphQL, you don't really have to roll your own protocol implementation. You simply define functions that handle certain portions of your operations by making calls to your model layer or service layer. I would choose GraphQL over JSONAPI any day.

Because tool-making is the fun part.
That is a great term. Start investing time in static analysis tools in FOSS that find it for you or your customers. Then extend refactoring tools ("source-to-source translators") to automate the job. Apply for YC for growth. Get acquired by IBM who saw all kinds of adaptations for the tool in their mainframe offerings.

I think that imbalance in individual authority and power gives everyone the right to hold public and private individuals to different standards.
Not a handheld flashlight, but if you're still looking, I highly recommend the Black Diamond Spot found here here: http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-headlamp/ . Super bright, but adjustable, durable, good spread and throw distance, and sips power at reduced brightness settings.

This is not necessarily true on Amazon.

There are larger brands that make deals with Amazon, preventing their products from being sold as new by anyone but themselves. Other people can sell it, but it must be listed as used. An end-run around first sale, but that's the way it is.

So, what sets you apart from all the other WebRTC providers out there? How are you unique?

It could be offering HD Voice interop with AT&T/VZW/T-Mo, selling user verified CNAM, or anything that adds value you can't get elsewhere.

I'd just avoid trying to become a voice wholesaler, its a very competitive space filled by a bunch of hyper competitive sub-5 person businesses that are super nimble due to their size. Most are pushing a few tens of millions of minutes a month.
The lack of lookahead is a pain in Go's regexp engine, and this cascades to the various apps that use it, such as Prometheus and Kubernetes.

Then there is the plumbing, and who knows what else you'd have to be certified to do. We don't live in a time where you are permitted to build your own house without getting some professionals involved.

Rent is almost always higher than a mortgage payment but that requires a downpayment (i.e. not being poor) -- thereby they are saving less than if they can own. Basically the point of this article -- poor people who have to rent are subsidizing this retiree's retirement... its profitable.
> Because words have meaning...

Agreed.

Again, agreed, but where's the personal gain? How many additional people buy Macs because they call these people "evangelists"? Or, how many people are willing to work for Apple for lower pay because they're going to get the title of "evangelist"? I don't see the personal gain aspect of this.

And that leaves me thinking that it's just a word that conveys enthusiasm, or possibly the bringing of good news, but it's just getting cute with a job title, with no moral dimensions.

I suspect that on the app side Google have much the same problem as Facebook struggled with until they demanded employees start carry and use Android devices.

Basically the apps are developed by much the same people that are doing the web dev. And those are very much Mac/iPhone users.

Thus they are barely aware of what is going on with Android.

Hell, the Allo boss basically made claims that made zero sense for why it didn't integrate SMS into the message timeline.

This while Android users have been screaming for a Google brand messenger that integrate SMS, and Android provides a SMS backend that any app can talk to.
Crackpot.

So many things wrong with this.

First of all, debt isn't evil.

Interest only compounds if you pay less than the interest every month. Most mortgages require you to pay all of the interest and pay down the principal every month. The extreme is interest-only mortgages, but even then the interest isn't compounding.

Most people cannot and should not build their own house: "then save up enough money to build a house with your two bare hands and some help"

Present value of future payments is LESS than the nominal value.
