Show HN: Filtroo, an app to promote responsible sharing
Hi everyone,

Today I would like to tell you about an app - which we believe might have a great social impact on the global community - that me and my partner have been working on for some time (part-time).

I am pretty sure that you, at some point in your life or perhaps repeatedly, disturbed by an image or a video you saw online (on social media or a news website) and you probably said ‘’you wish you didn’t see that’’ or thought at least you had some kind of a warning.

How do we know? Because we did!

We are against censorship in traditional and social media. However, we believe people should have the option not to see disturbing media contents.

That is why we came up with filtroo, a free to use mobile application, enables anyone to lock, share and unlock disturbing media contents, promoting responsible sharing.

Please go ahead and check our first build on the App Store https://appsto.re/tr/FBucjb.i
You can also visit our website: www.filtroo.com

We are looking forward to hearing your feedback (and contributions).
I used to love Atom, the plugins were perfect and I could customise it to do exactly what I wanted. However, even on a fully specced macbook air, it just became too slow. I moved to VS Code because it had the speed I needed with the customisability that I wanted. Hopefully this Atom update increases performance though, I really liked that editor :)
Isn't this the doctor's responsibility to say "I will not do this procedure because the risk is too great", then?

A friend of mine was in a similar scenario recently. He was tempted to do an aggressive and risky surgery to treat a chronic condition, out of sheer frustration. I couldn't talk him down. It was only once the surgeon said "I can't look you in the eye and tell you that this will be worth it" that he reconsidered.
Exactly. I'd use tabs if I wanted other people to be able to control what my code looks like. Ugh. So I use spaces.

Luck is a factor but often I have met people (I grew up poor) whom don't play the odds in a rational way. For example a lottery ticket has a very low chance of paying off and yet many poor people play, those same people can't find the time or resources to submit a healthy number of resumes or job applications each week even though the odds of finding a better paying job (and one that can potentially lead to an even better paying job in a few years) is statistically speaking vastly more likely. My point being its luck to pick the correct number in a game of roulette but its up to you how many times you attempt to spin the wheel.
It's about what government can do to promote against smoking. Anti smoking ads, anti smoking packaging laws, school exercises, etc about smoking over the years in Australia have led to a rapid decrease in smokers over there.
If you never enjoyed the experience of a lightweight editor or was never bothered by the sluggishness of heavy weight IDEs

Neither Atom or VS Code are lightweight. Both feel absolutely glacial compared to those other IDEs (including even IDEA that is atop Java). This mythology that they're "light" isn't remotely founded in reality.

Regarding astroturfing, your claim is exactly the sort of claim that seems suspicious. If Visual Studio or IDEA is scary (if I was setting my son up with something simple to play around with web development), sure use something superficially simpler, but the claims of lightness are outrageously detached from reality.

Another comment mentioned a negative association with Microsoft, and I'm going to say it's that association that yields the pseudo-astroturfing -- lots of developers who threw their hat into the Microsoft stack, and now that they have something that is open source-y and cross platform, they advocate it for legitimacy. It's an option, sure, but the over the top gushing for another Electron-based editor is surreal.
Exactly. Nicotine has mental health benefits (e.g., schizophrenia ) and is a nootropic, stimulant, and feel-good drug. By smoking, the poor are trading years in the future for pleasantness now. Calling them stupid or irrational just makes too many assumptions about their opportunities, situations, and goals.
Same thing in Italy and France, in my experience. Quite baffling, really.
How to become better at software estimations
I don't know about this. I think it's been over-done to such a degree that actually good customer service is a rare gem to find at this point, and is a better discriminator than price in most products. The price difference is rarely worth the hassle or tension of dealing with bureaucracy or unpleasant people. Or bad websites.. I really can't stand vendors who can't build an easily navigatable, fast website.

I've stuck with my cell vendor because of the customer service, even when the price / coverage wasn't as good as I perceived others would be. I've also left my cable company for a poorer competitor because of the difference in customer service. I've got thousands of miles on United that I never intend to use now.
Forums and IRC channels specific to the domain you would like to work in. I have not done any myself, but I see people teaming up to make domain specific applications quite often.

For example, I am part of a tea channel on IRC. There are two people who have teamed up to make a tea journal app for Android.

Most functional languages have a type safe printf / sprintf (i.e. OCaml, F#, Haskell) which is similar to the effect you get in Idris: the types required to apply the function are statically analyzed from the format string.

I disagree. The practical knowledge rains down on you every working day. But for laying the foundation you need to take time off and do nothing but reading (didn't Knuth say something similar once). So better get that out of the way early.
My tip to you would be to raise your goals. Learning JavaScript should not be a chore if your goals are high enough.

Give it a few years to down size and we can revisit that fact.
In the 1880s Bismarck increased the modern welfare state (it was called State Socialism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Socialism_(Germany) ). The idea was that, if the poor people can get some form of social welfare from the existing state, they're less likely to support a proper socialist/communist revolution. Sounds like that. People won't unionise when they don't think they need to.
Sure - I have a farm that I run. A high schooler asks if I'll hire him so he can make an extra buck. I say sure - I'll pay 10 cents per egg that he gathers.

Soon he drops out of high school and demands to be paid a living wage with health benefits since I am now his source of income. The other egg gatherers unionize with him and threaten to strike if I don't. I fire them all and scrap the business instead because I can't afford to pay them all a living wage with benefits without making my eggs way more expensive than the competition.
Of course you're gonna make less if you let other people control what your code looks like.
This is called "Veil of ignorance". [1]

Can you explain what that means/what happens?
OS helps tremendously in reproducibility. Without the underlying data, there is no way to audit an analysis. Moreover, an algorithm is only ever "done" in the same way that software is ever "done". New techniques might come along that could enhance the model, or the business requirements might change that necessitate re-tuning the algorithm.

The benefits of OS data are the same as the benefits of OS software. The distinction between "Free" and "Open" is the same as well.

Edit 1: OS data sets are nothing new. The UCI Machine Learning Repository[1] has been around for years. There is also an entire Open Data Stack Exchange site [2], and an Open Data Subreddit [3].

Edit 2: OS data sets are essential for developing new algorithms because they can be used as benchmarks. Nobody should trust a model that's been developed on a proprietary data set for use on anything other than that one data set.

If you need a frontend developer to realize your idea, become one or change the idea. There are many people who like to code just for fun, but they have plenty of ideas already. In the end time is the most limiting factor for many of us. You have to pick what are you using that time for very carefully.
I've heard similar stories from several AWS engineers who were looking to leave or recently left. I can believe that pieces of AWS have good culture, because AWS is a large set of services and it's inevitable that it's not 100% consistent across the entire organization. But I also fully believe that parts of AWS are "duct taped together and on fire" because I've heard it from multiple sources.

I've never had anyone in person tell me that Amazon was a good place to work unless they were trying to recruit me.
But it also means that, outside of top 1%, wealth (as in: assets, vs income) is totally unimportant.
The tree production may be sustainable, but if this article holds true, 100 tons of water for a single ton of paper can't be good for the environment.
> You get free same day delivery. Amazon just greatly saved on last mile delivery costs.

I'm under the impression this is something they're really trying to optimize right now. Not sure if it's everywhere but where I live in Cincinnati, Amazon is now operating their own courier service for normal Prime deliveries piggybacking on top of Prime Now drivers.

When you place an order (on regular Amazon.com) you don't necessarily know whether it will come from UPS, FedEx, an Amazon courier, etc. The Amazon couriers don't seem to know that it's not a Prime Now order and that the delivery time isn't known in advance to the customer like it is with Prime Now, as they show up midday and call you (from an unknown number) anticipating you'd be at home and asking you to let them in the gate.

One unexpected problem that emerges here is that the standard delivery service courier for a route is regular and that one person can be given a gate key; much harder to solve that with dozens or hundreds of couriers.
I think this is more about amazon easily acquiring a ton of retail space for it's JIT order deliver business. I'm starting to think they're actually serious about this drone delivery stuff.
This article is total bullshit and so is the "dual education" model.

"Duale Ausbildung" has nothing to do with universities, if you go that route you spend up to four years working at (on average) well below 1000€ while attending a government school that teaches at a rather low level. The government has to subsidize the income of those people and the employer, in some cases.

https://www.azubiyo.de/gehalt/

Worse, if you don't buy into the "dual education" thing, you can't get most of these jobs. We're not talking about great jobs either, it's most jobs that don't require university education. A lot of that is stuff you could be trained for on-the-job in six months or less.

Don't trust German unemployment statistics, it's basically the government paying at every end to have people employed at all costs and often at very low pay.

Also, don't buy into the German educational model, it's one of the most discriminatory systems in the world, even though it is "free" on paper, it's all about weeding out people at a young age so they're not allowed to attend the "free" university. We have parents suing the teachers of ten-year-olds for the grades they give, because of the impact it can have on their careers.

> I don't think I need to be a good leader for this.

> It's a specific topic and I don't want to bother my friends with it, I need someone who will be 100% interested in it.

These two things are mutually exclusive. The kinds of people who you want to work with tend to have ideas of their own, or a multitude of other offers to choose from.

Since your job is to get people excited enough about your idea to build it for free, you need to have some good sales skills. And, if you want to keep them engaged and productive, you'll need to be an amazing leader.

If you pull this off, I suspect that you'll learn as much about leadership as you do about code. Good luck!!
I've had to do this ~3 times in the last couple years. In all cases it was extensions not playing well (xcache, gmagick/imagick). I actually couldn't find a single version of gmagick/imagick that tore down or something properly in php 7.0.x (broke when phpunit launched extra-process tests, among other places)
Yeah, I wonder how this is going to affect Blue Apron's upcoming IPO. My guess is for the worse.
There is one guy building vim-mode-plus on atom and it feels way better than the vim plugin of vs code. Also, atom has seen pretty solid performance improvements recently. It now doesn't have much lag for me when I'm working with Elixir.
> Walmart currently uses groceries as a way to get people in stores and when they're in the store they buy other things as well.

Walmart groceries is a sad and pretty recent phenomenon. It got people in the stores just with cheap prices long before they had groceries.
It's not that pastry chef's are unskilled, but they are very easily replaceable. It's really difficult for culinary school grads to find work because of the influx.
What about uploading files, video and voice chat, scrollable and searchable chat history, code snippet support? These are the reasons people use slack. To say IRC is a substitute means your company doesn't need to solve these problems (which is fine, they may not have them) or it means you're using a bunch of products together to solve them.

I don't get the stance that this is "hype" or a "bandwagon" at all.
You could argue that the automatic loom of the 1700s was the first computer that could outperform humans, and the people it replaced were so ungracious that it began the Luddite movement.
But why.

Why that hate for every new UI nowadays.
Busy middle class buyers don't go to whole foods except for definitions of middle that are inclusive enough to appease the diversity committee at UCB.
Another factor to consider is that relativity showed that whether two events at different locations are simultaneous depends on the observer's reference frame. See (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativity_of_simultaneity). So you can't even say which measurement of the state is the one that collapses the waveform. Observers in different reference frames would disagree.
Yes, but of the ICs in the Timex Sinclair 1000 is the Ferranti ULA which packs a lot of features.
> leave it better than when I got there

This can be a frightening statement depending on what 'better' means to anyone in particular. If 'better' means Enterprise Fizzbuzz, then no thanks, if 'better' means simplify and untangle spaghetti, or unwinding Enterprise Fizzbuzz then great!
Walmart only has good grocery selection at super-centers for the most part
Evidence right here.

They note that the average age of individuals in the middle- and high-income groups has increased since the 1976–80 period, while the average age of those in the low-income group has decreased. Ultimately, individuals from families with top incomes overwhelming report being in good health. Indeed, individuals in this group were more than twice as likely to report being in very good or excellent health than individuals in the bottom group.

If that isn't leading to the scenario described I don't know what you think it's leading to, but it can't be good.
You'd like to think they'd investigate why some of their new planes cause hypoxia. Unfortunately, the scale of the problem makes it easier to try to understand why one variant (Marine Corps) ISN'T having the problem.

I've had no particular performance problems (well, nothing I couldn't live with), and recent versions have improved things in various areas. It doesn't look like this version has much in the way of performance enhancements, but the next version, 1.19 (currently in beta) has a raft of stuff that should perk thinks up a bit.
Kinda want to echo this. There's _so many_ projects that I could participate in, yours would have to be a pretty unique one for me to be interested.

But that being said, it's not impossible. The people I've done 'fun, not for profit' projects with tend to be with friends, but I can see myself getting interested if your project has something that scratches a real itch for me ;)

You could also consider finding 'hack nights' in your city. You might find people there looking for projects.

Or you can decide to pay for work.

> If you don't address the commoner's concerns, you'll be perceived as disingenuous.

True but I argue that the current hype about AI replacing jobs has much more to do with media clickbait than any real issue we should be worrying about right now.

If your business is selling ads next to cheap content, it's a great story - scares people into clicks. That to me is a real issue here. How do we prevent the media pandering scare-content like this?

For those old enough remember the "Y2K bug" that was going to have planes falling from the sky on the stoke of midnight 2000 there's a great analysis of the press's role in this at http://www.flatearthnews.net/chapter-one-bug-ate-world ...

> "Encouraged by these stories, some governments had spent fortunes in public money (and secured no better result than those who spent next to nothing). Journalists reported that the British government had spent £396 million on Y2K protection. They also reported that it had spent £430 million. And that it had spent £788 million. The American government had spent far more, they said - $100 billion, or $200 billion, or $320 billion, or $600 billion, or $858 billion, depending on which journalist you were reading. Anyway, it was a lot. Beyond that, the private sector had spawned a mini-industry of companies selling millennium bug kits, while publishers turned out bug books and bug videos, and estate agents sold bug-resistant homes, and a few families sold their houses and fled to remote cabins in order to give themselves a chance to survive the coming bug-related chaos. But this was not a story."

> "The sun rose on January 1 2000 like the lights coming on at an orgy. Everybody who had been so busy - the journalists, the governments, the bug-related businesses and the computer experts - all picked themselves up, hoped nobody was looking and quietly tip-toed away."
Not sure, but hearing about how Amazon is running into trouble with their grocery stores, they might want to learn something from Whole Foods (similar to Zappos).

There was also an article that talked about the brilliance of Amazon biz organization. Business units are set up like API interfaces, ones that serve both internal needs as well as external customers. The author's claim is that it helps trim the fat, with what was normally internal services being exposed to market forces. It makes me also wonder about WF's fate from that perspective.
> But by dismissing anything not written by an "expert", you're making the exact same mistake.

Uh, no. You're simply favouring people who have dedicated their lives to studying and researching something, over people who had a spare month and thought "You know what? I'd love to write an article over something I know absolutely nothing about".

I love to read about amateurs and autodidacts as much as the next person on HN, but the simple truth is that most people talking about a field, who have not majored in it, are not going to be either of those people. Autodidacts who put the effort in are rare these days, what is significantly less rare are people who write articles about a subject, who haven't read even the basic texts on said subject.

This is true even for specialists who are majored in another field, such as: Stephen Hawking, Stephen Wolfram, Elon Musk (Although I admit it is dubious to think of a CEO as a specialist in this sense), and now Garry Kasparov. Rationalwiki has a list dedicated to people who are Nobel prize winners in on field, talking absolute bullshit about another field: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Nobel_disease (That is, bullshit in the sense of nonsense, not in the insult sense).

Actually, I would probably go so far as to say that this attitude is strictly against autodidacticism, because where autodidacts favour knowledge about a subject, the other favours arguments from authority and complacence of thought.
I have Visual Studio installed, but still use VS Code often.

They serve different purposes, and VS Code is much nicer for web style development than Visual Studio is, which feels far too heavy.

And though VS 2017 has improved this, Visual Studio is a pain to use for non proj/sln based projects.

I am primarily a VIM user, but there are many times where the GUI niceness of VS Code, combined with it's relative light weight makes it a good option.
It's weird to me to see "if that's the case" followed by an explanation of a possible bad outcome, written as if nobody has said this and it needs an explanation. It's a quite old idea. I have for many years heard the political left decry: we get socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor. The Wikipedia page on "corporate welfare" says Ralph Nader used the term in 1956 -- which is much older than I thought having only been exposed to it ~20 years ago.
