During this summer I performed a similar analysis with SMA and variations from it. My initial explorations looked very promising so I started saving market data and build a Python back-tester to test it. Once I applied exchange fees, slippage and simulated over longer periods things changed. I was no longer able to create a profitable strategy that performed well in longer time-frames over multiple markets. However its something I still want to work with.

I like your pitch. And, you've got a ton of response here on HN.

I'm a bit late to the game here, but maybe we can jive. I have various ideas in the cryptocurrency space. Solo founder, working for 3.5 years on various ideas.

does video always on? This is just WebRTC and it is not using 500mb of RAM while idle. Integrations? They all are constantly keep something in memory? Most of this logic is done on the server and app is just a mirror of a server state.
Just wanted to say good luck!!

I always wanted to start my own thing, thought about many ideas, started a couple just for fun, not full speed, because they were not great ideas.

I was a bit where you are.

Then I met someone with a great idea needing help, and I was ready to jump. I did, it worked. So it's possible, so good luck!!
Solaris developed another solution, specifically CTF (Compressed Type Format). CTF stores data types and function signatures rather than full debug info, and is therefore much smaller than the DWARF information it is derived from.

The entire Solaris system is built with CTF enabled, which is used to support their debuggers and dtrace. Other systems have adopted it too. OpenBSD is moving to use CTF, and has enabled it's use in the kernels and debuggers on some architecture.

To get a sense of the size difference, DWARF information for a sparc64 kernel is about 27 megabytes. The CTF information derived from it is 473 kilobytes.

I think you misremember. Here’s Daring Fireball on the iPhone 5S (https://daringfireball.net/2013/09/the_iphone_5s_and_5c):

“Once you’ve added a fingerprint, subsequent scans of that finger are nearly instantaneous. Touch ID is way faster than “fast enough”. I’d call it “I can’t believe it works this quickly” fast. It’s also very accurate — only a handful of times over the past week have I had to try a second time, and each of those times, I hadn’t really squared up my finger with the sensor.”

I know many people regard DF as overly biased, but as I recall, the general reception for Touch ID was very positive. Let me know if you find a review that says otherwise.

Create a partition and encrypt it with BitLocker (built into Windows). Put your local Dropbox there. Pretty straightforward. The only annoying bit is Dropbox will fail to initialize upon windows start when it can't find the folder because the encrypted partition is inaccessible until you unlock it.

My issue with Streisand is that it spins up a dozen different services, of which I would like 1-2. Indeed, I then stumbled across Algo [1], which cited this as one of the motivating reasons for existing. It does 50% of what I'm after in setting up an IPSec VPN and does it all whilst generating my mobileconfigs.

Now all I need to do is manually set up a shadowsocks server and I'll be sorted. But I'd rather tackle that manually than also have the extra stuff streisand bundles in.

The slavery we know from history, i.e. the triangular trade between the Caribbean, Liverpool and Guinea, that was actually 'Slaves 2.0'.

Before 'Slaves 2.0' there was 'Slaves 1.0'. This existed in Africa and before white men and guns were involved it wasn't a bad system at all. If you did something seriously wrong then you were not sent to prison, instead you were sold into slavery. The idea was that you worked off your debt - however much you were sold for - and then when the debt was done you could go back home.

The triangular trade changed that. People were being shipped off forever, the deal of 'slavery' had changed from a reasonable system for maintaining the rule of law to true heart of darkness stuff.

In 'Slavery 1.0' people didn't have the right to do whatever they wanted with their slaves, they could not rape and kill them, as white man did.

I would actually prefer 'Slavery 1.0' to the legal system and prison, none of which is really being judged by your neighbours. If I could sell my lazy friend that owes me money into slavery, e.g. to the coffee shop down the road, with the coffee shop owner taking my friend on as a slave and giving me the money owed then that could work for me. I doubt the coffee shop owner would really want to rape/kill/beat up my friend, but he might want him working really hard from really early in the morning until quite late in the evening.

Or, without the benefit of 'Slavery 1.0' I could take my friend to court and then when he doesn't pay he could end up in prison. I would still not get my money back. The coffee shop would not have a slave, they would have to hire a wage slave instead.

So let's think more positively about 'Slavery'. What could 'Slavery 3.0' be like and is there an app for that?

What if I could put my friend up on the 'slavery app' with my price? I just want £3K-5K back. How can the small print in the EULA that my friend/slave-to-be signs up to have legal consequence? If my friend cannot be bothered pouring beverages all day and does a runner, then some lucky Pokemon player that finds him should be rewarded somehow, with my friend sold on to a 'riskier' slave market, perhaps picking coffee beans in Kenya where he is unable to find his way home.

Much like 'Slavery 1.0' the slave is not humiliated or deprived of the basics, all needs are met but no luxuries or pay are given. Instead the person that sold the 'slave' gets that.

So go for the app, but call it 'Slavery 3' and make it a lot more fun than the misery of this VC funded Uber/AirBnB sharing economy nonsense. Poke fun at capitalism, the world of work, the legal system and our idea of history whilst doing it and every small child will be wanting to sell their sister's pet hamster into slavery for some perceived valid reason. Maybe make the app step in for the 'tribal elders/jury' so part of 'Slavery 3' could be to do with voting whether someone should be allowed to be 'sold' or not.
This is sloppily written. It says nothing about how the nanoparticles preferentially bind to cancer cells.

It also has some wording issues:

I'm guessing that should read "to between 42°C to 45°C".

To prevent threats from insiders. For example, imagine one of her personal staff is blackmailed into placing a bomb in the Queen's handbag, or similar. Also, if she is flying commercially (the Royals use British Airways first class, I believe) then there is a legal requirement (Perhaps from the EU, or the CAA, and maybe also mandated by the destination's aviation authorities?) to search all passengers and X-ray their carry-on baggage, so she would not be able to exempted - remember flightcrew and even pilots have to go through screening!

Here's mine: fix income inequality and the staggering inequality in the distribution of wealth worldwide.

How is that a startup? I dunno, maybe there's a small part of that big problem that you can start tackling. Maybe it has to do with some facet of the economy you're improving/making more efficient, maybe it has to do with influencing policy. That's for you to figure out.

Find a big, big problem, and then look for a manageable chunk that your team can execute an idea on. You're in this for the long haul, right?

Yes. Cash is only required to work for paying debt. The store can request whatever payment method they want.
From the RFC intro:

> HTTP/2 ([RFC7540]) server push can accelerate the delivery of resources, but only resources for which the server is authoritative. The other limitation of server push is that the response will be transmitted regardless of whether the client has the response cached. At the cost of spending one extra round-trip compared to server push in the worst case, delivering Link header fields in a timely fashion is more flexible and might consume less bandwidth.

In the last couple of years, I'm surprised how far Azure as come especially in relation to automation/IaC.

I remember sitting a basic "build stuff on Azure" course maybe 4-5 years ago and 90% of the course involved sitting there clicking on stuff in the portal. Just recently I re-did the same course (someone else was paying, and I fancied a week away from the office, hence my second attendance...) and the focus of the course had switched from 'Next next finished' to using Powershell, DSC, scale-sets etc to automate as much as you can.

I realise Windows/Azure isn't everyone's cup of tea on HN, but you've gotta give MS credit for going down 'the right' path here. Still a ways to go though, especially in comparison to AWS.

I don't think you need to be accurate to the pixel level, unless you're targeting bilevel (black and white) rendering. (This is empirical: nobody who I've tested my custom font renderer with has been able to tell the difference between it and the OS renderer, once the same features are enabled.) But you do need to do everything that the OS does: gamma correction, TrueType hinting, subpixel AA, autohinting, stem darkening…
Except for this USB
No. No. Never do this.

You never actually know where your bottlenecks are going to be until they arrive and by designing everything with a "super scalable" architecture you will be making development ten times as painful and expensive as it needs to be while throwing away nice things that come "for free" and "just work" at the mid-low end like transactions.

Amazon and Netflix don't want to have to use their hideously complex and inefficient service architectures - they're forced to because of their scale.

Most people who engineer their systems for hyper-scale from the get-go never see a whiff of anything that looks remotely like high traffic. Often they go out of business before they get anywhere near that.

And once you get to serious scale, you really shouldn't still be running the code from back when you didn't really know what your business/product was.

If you build packages yourself, one can either include debug info, or generate a split package that includes debug info.

The piece that may still be missing is the inclusion of source code in debug packages, which is necessary to get any context for a debug session (it is not sufficient to seek out and clone random git repos because of versioning & patching differences).

But ideally, there would be a `-debug` package for every package in arch's repos, and one would not need to build them manually when debug symbols are needed. Arch does not have this.

Broncos vs. Chiefs Live Stream
This frustrates me a lot too-- I view it as an example of a general peeve of mine that people read too much into formal results often in a pretty cult like manner.

An example I like to use is that many people seem to believe that there is no reason to use anything other than the obvious greedy approximation algorithm for the minimal set cover problem because of a celebrated result in approximation theory that shows that no algorithm can achieve a better worst case approximation gap. Last I checked, the Wikipedia article-- for example-- pushes people in that direction.

It turns out in practice, however, on many problem cases the obvious greedy algorithm is pretty bad and simple heuristics on top of it do a LOT better. People are mistaking worst case with "average" or "typical" case.

In the problem space we're discussing here with Simplicity though, there are cases where undecidable isn't really an option: For example, if the consensus rules of a system impose execution cost limits, the result of evaluating the costs can't permit "undecidable", and so it's arguably better to work from a framework which guarantees that it won't be by construction... rather than attempting a game-of-operation where minor modifications to your program might seemingly randomly knock into undecidable-land.
you have to be loyal once you apply for your green card. most ppl on h1b don't want to leave after 6 yrs so they apply for their greencards.
It is, in linux distros at large. Arch, however, does not publish (or even generate) those debug files (which contain the debug info & symbols that were stripped out).
There's no one silver bullet, as always, you just have to get really good at using Cost Explorer.

Project 1: We reduced our EC2 bill by about $10k a month by moving to spot instances for our Continuous Integration servers

Project 2: We saved another $10k a month by moving to CloudFront for our downloads, instead of using S3 directly

Project 3: Finding and eliminating waste from years of tech debt. Saved $5k a month so far.

As we go we need to spend more and more time to find the same amount of cost savings, it's a law of diminishing returns.

This is an absurd dogmatic statement. Everybody trusts a multitude of escapings everywhere every day all over the web without even knowing it.
The Mobile Strategy for Business: Part 1
I used to think Dane Maxwell of The Foundation was the crazy one, and all those infopreneurs with blogs were geniuses.

I’ve since realized how wrong I was. Dane’s big thing was about interviewing small businesses, finding a pain and then being paid to solve that pain with a saas product. Seems pretty logical to me now.
I talk to a lot of farmers, most likely where the bias comes from.
I keep thinking that the magnet in the finger would be a fun thing to try out. Something that is pretty safe and reversible. Am I crazy?
Came here to say this. Sent them a contact message hopefully they'll do some A/B testing and notice all the new attention they're getting.
I remember when I was a catastrophe insurance adjuster, I used Xactimate. It was pretty great at the time, but I think the underlying tech (i.e. getting material pricing) could be greatly improved, especially dealing with things like shortages and increased prices due to demand spikes.
That's the mindset of an engineer at work. Engineers want hard, sexy problems to chew on. Businessmen want stable, predictable tech with large margins (low production costs and a high selling price). This is why a lot of people talk about converting an excel spreadsheet into a SaaS business. It's ridiculously easy, low cost, stable, predictable revenue that companies will happily pay for to not have to deal with their excel spreadsheets ever again.
I’m interested in the technology behind the service; any details you can provide?

There's a shortage of qualified software developers like there's a shortage of steinway pianos in my house.

There's not enough available at the price I want to pay. So sad. The market's clearing but not for me. Pay more or adjust my expectations.
This is harsh, but true. I've never heard a successful founder say "I don't know, I just wanted to start a company with my friends and get rich." Every dang middle-schooler in the US wants that. Companies are a means, not an end. Successful ones always start with someone who's passionate about a very specific problem.

This really comes out in corporate mission statements. Even if you're Xerox, your mission statement is something like "Improve the rate of business communications by creating the world's most excellent copy machines."

If you don't have an idea for a startup, you're missing the key ingredient. The team literally cannot exist without that visionary person who knows exactly what they're after.
>That becomes a huge amount data to track though if it's individual labeling. It'll start out ok but quickly get huge.

No, it's the same pattern as software CD-Keys and that's been working fine at scale for decades. You draw from a pool of unique, unpredictable codes based on a secret seed, and keep a tally of the number of claims over that code. The only difference here is that instead of the online service 'failing activation' for your software, it simply displays the number of activations to the end user. If 'this code has already been redeemed' comes up for your $2 ali express MOSFETs, you know you're dealing with a knock-off.

>doing that requires a decent percentage of people to be actively scanning things, otherwise counterfeiters could just play the odds

I'll partially concede this point - It's certainly a factor. However, if the down-stream effect is product returns, the middle man sellers are likely to take corrective action against the suppliers. I'm not convinced that this limitation of the proposed system will render it ineffective.
Letting users skip our paywall if they wrote an apology
This is good advice. I had to deal with crap like this just from running a high traffic message board. Not OP, but I want to do this as a side project just for myself though.
I think that the general advice of "find something that bugs you and then fix it" is a particularly bad way of building a business because you run a very high risk of building something that nobody else wants. In general, "you" != "your customer".

My advice would be to go out and find some group of people/companies and then ask them what problems are they currently facing that are not currently ideally solved (stressed out moms, small businesses, etc. It really doesn't matter, just a large accessible group who may have problems that could be solved via ML).

This way, you don't need to know really anything about the domain because the interviewees will know the space well enough and will tell you what's wrong with it (and will most likely list ideas on how to fix it.) This will also remove your worry about the space being crowded because even if it is, if your interviewees are saying that there is still an unsolved problem, then there is still opportunity for you.

Another idea is to attend a startup weekend and learn how to quickly test assumptions/prototype and then try and replicate the process during the week. (e.g. run one full validation sprint per week, every week on different ideas until something gains traction.)
