I did some accidental market research on Snap with my girlfriend's 9 year-old cousin this weekend.

She had tons of snaps, but informed me that they were almost all blank images. She and her friends send each other these blank images to maintain 'streaks,' which count the number of continuous days that two people have messaged each other.

So attached to these streaks were the cousin and her friends that if the 24 hour mark was approaching and the cousin hadn't sent a blank message to her longest streak, the counterparty would log-in to the cousin's snapchat and send _herself_ a message, to make sure the streak continued.

My cousin said that the blowup in (blank) picture messages had slowed the app to a crawl, leading her not to use it anymore, aside of course for streaks.

Not the kind of of daily-active-users that advertisers crave. I'm 28; never heard of streaks before this.

This was public knowledge in 2005…
A good free tool I've used is draw.io. comes without the bloat of MS Visio. As for learning how to model business process, BPMN is always thrown around as the standard but I've just used whatever visual representation is clearest for your audience.
For sure. And yet, it's easy to fall into this trap in modern art. :-)

I remember a particular work of art in MOCA in Los Angeles once upon a time that was a strip of fur on the wall that extended from eye level down to the ground, then ran out along the floor for a short distance. My friend and I were simultaneously amused and outraged by that little work! Surely a nine-year-old could have done that!...
Facebook made it deliberately difficult and obfuscated to report violations as well. Twitter by comparison makes it relatively frictionless. I don't use Facebook except to follow some news sources but I now follow them on Twitter and barely use Facebook. I know one is supposed to assume incompetence where malice is seen but gosh, I can't decide where Facebook falls yet.
Hey everyone, I'm the co-founder of COINDATAX, a cryptocurrency analytics for investors interested in making sense of the market.

We started this project because we wanted a better tool than Google sheets for our crypto investments, so we integrated a powerful open source analytics tool with different data sources and we are now looking for more beta testers and first users :)

Please let us know what you think about it
You're both citing the same source, but you're comparing 12th grade usage to middle school usage.
We've made mass communication wildly more efficient without education or credulity making the same leap so it becomes possible to share a twisted and false version of reality to suit one's needs. Or hatred. My time on the Internet has been one of constantly remembering this[0] image from the old comic Nexus where he is forced to modify the repository of truth in order to stop violence. I'm guessing something similar will be required here and then we'll need to come to grips with the fact "reality" is a pretty local concept, or perhaps a concept whose diameter is proportional to one's education/ luck.

he was paid by his board to IPO the company so the VC's could liquidate.

For someone not still in high school that struck me as way more effort than it was worth.
I've long thought about a law whereby companies over some 409a valuation must allow public trading of their stock. For example maybe all companies over $5B or some other quite large valuation would be required to allow public sale of stock.

This would be good for much of society. It gives liquidity to employees, it creates a market forces valuation, it allows pensions and other institutions to more accurately index the economy as a whole.

What are some downsides I'm missing?

The app was very inaccurate during my testing. Hiding almonds in a dish made out of pure chocolate (a Hershey kiss) would be an easy counter example.

Also, I have a nut allergy so I have a complicated set of procedures to figure out if nuts are in the dish (that was the main motivation for the app).

I'm looking for a disposable camera app, not sure what to search for
I want a camera app that makes it easy to quickly delete unimportant photos. I'm talking about pictures of receipts, ingredient lists, parking stall numbers, other memo type photographs that I won't need for longer than a few days.

Ideally, all it will do is store photos taken with the app in a folder where I can do a big "delete all" whenever I feel like freeing up space on my phone. I don't want any features beyond that.

It seems like it should exist already, but I'm having a hard time figuring out what search terms to use. Has anyone got something like it? I'm on an iPhone so iOs preferred.
It is true

You really ought to reconsider this.

Even if you don't take equity as the payoff to the time you invested in working on this project, if you were really unpaid during all those years working on it, you likely have a strong case under employment law if nothing else, if you can document time you spent on it. It sounds like your father really took advantage of your naivete here. I can't imagine doing something like this with my son. Even if I didn't think his involvement warranted equity, paying him for working on it would be done without question.

There's a lot to learn here, obviously. One thing I'm picking up on reading your pastebin is that this is a company that grew to at least several employees, and operated without your involvement for at least a few years. There's a lot that goes into building a company, and just being around for the start of it doesn't entitle someone to half the company—this is why vesting schedules are a thing. So its worth looking hard at your expectations and being brutally honest with yourself about the role you played in the formation of the company. At the end of that, though, if you're able to honestly conclude that your role was absolutely integral to the formation of the company, you should stand firm in demanding to be compensated for that.
Can anyone do that? That’s literally strong AI territory... They do offer forums, instant messaging, voice chat, video chat, as far as tech goes they offer everything that is available today.

But they can’t make me a buddy with Shaq, it’s not their job :)
Yikes! Sorry about that, fixed it now. Thanks!
Show HN: Terraform-doc.pdf
As a previous commenter said -- why are you not similarly shocked by the number of HN users that carry a remote recording (audio + video) device + GPS tracker in their pocket?

Why should I be less concerned about a mobile device that waits for me to say "Ok Google" or "Siri" than a stationary device that waits for me to say "Alexa"?
Most if not all of the top 100 mobile apps are native applications.

Hybrid mobile frameworks like Cordova tend to get a bad rap these days especially with the arrival of more performant alternatives like React Native.
Humans aren't any better at determining if a kiss has invisible almonds. An AI could solve that (better than a human could!) by knowing memorizing ingredient lists form public databases and tagging foods that have nutty variants, often times that people wouldn't know about.
People who bought Apple shares got rich because Apple made something good (arguably changed the world).

People who got rich on Bitcoin got rich while really nothing of value has been produced (although crypto prophets indeed try hard to tell us how the world has changed).

And yes, there are real-world usages of the cryptocurrencies but they haven't changed while the market valuations did.
Reading between the lines of the various pieces on vaping I've seen, there seem to be two common assumptions at work: 1. vaping is like cigarettes, therefore must be unhealthy or 2. this is a new substance being ingested and therefore must be unhealthy.

I'm entirely supportive of people who want to study this stuff, but the impulse that any new product should be illegal until it's been proven safe to fairly arbitrary standards seems unreasonable to me. And I think there's a bit of a baptist-bootlegger coalition between the medical researchers and tobacco companies.
They were a lot faster, especially the laptops. And that was really the consumer proposition in both cases - you put up with our switch in exchange for a faster, better, stronger computer.

If Apple ends up doing it, the proposition would almost certainly be different and it seems very unlikely it would involve things like running your x86_64 macOS apps on your brand new Mac except three times slower. Thinking about this in terms of previous changes (or in terms of PPC history details) just seems obviously wrongheaded to me.
I always find it interesting to remember that smoking tobacco was unknown in Europe until the colonization of the Americas.
You’re making the unwarranted assumption that they’ll actually emulate anything. The state of tooling is much better than it was back then, and this time there’s no 32 bit mode to worry about.

According to Anandtech report in 2006, btw, the real world difference was far less than 5x. Indeed, Intel chips had substantially worse FP performance back then, something Apple uses quite a bit in their graphics subsystem.
> I don't doubt that the best course of action is to quit altogether, but a 50+ year addiction is pretty difficult to quit. It can be done but you really have to want it. I don't think my dad really wanted to quit. I know that seems silly, but given his circumstances I can understand.

Much as your physical health is probably best by quitting, mental health certainly has to be considered as well.
So.. they are like linux network namespaces?
2560x1440 on a 27 inch at a reasonable distance is pretty darn close to optimal IMO, so 4k, to me, is for 34" monitors (but 27 inch I feel is optimal on 60-75 inch desks, which is what I usually work with, so 4k rarely matters).

I'm with you on accurately calibrated monitors though! God most of them suck out of the box.
I think developers flocked to Intel Macs because it gave them one machine that could run Mac, Linux, Windows in virtual or bootcamp environments. If x86 compatibility goes away, developers may jump ship to Linux or Windows machines.
Your phone already knows you visited your friend's house, why are you worried about Alexa knowing too?
You're willfully choosing to focus on provable deaths from acute radiation poisoning as some kind of metric of general safety.

Anything requiring the immediate long-term evacuation of an entire prefecture in a failure mode is obviously unsafe.

Doesn't this just mean that you should be running your own caching resolver so that requests for common things don't constantly hit the upstream server? For those same common sites it should also be better performance anyway.

It differs by company, but is not that easily gameable. (I’ve tried many times and succeeded only once in filing an application that was completely trash). The company’s patent lawyers ultimately decide what they will and won’t file, and they are more time constrained than budget constrained).

Verified the vulnerability, but it looks like they have taken down the API now.

Hopefully they will publicly acknowledge.
> I think it's Li-Ion batteries in laptops, not LiPo.

The important difference between the two is physical construction more than chemistry, though the electrolytes differ slightly. Cylindrical Li-ion cells have a rigid metal case and a breakable seal that will release gas and permanently disable the cell in the event of excessive internal pressure. Pouch and prismatic cells do not have a rigid metal case and are at higher risk of mechanical damage. Since they're made of softer materials, they often don't have a valve to release pressure, and bulge instead.

Pouch cells may be a little less safe than cylindrical cells for these reasons, but are present inside literally billions of consumer devices such as phones, laptops and tablets. Catastrophic failures are quite rare, hence Samsung's incendiary phones being a huge news story.

I suspect the high failure rate of drone batteries is due to the extreme loads drones put on batteries. Very few other devices are continuously operated at loads that will drain their batteries in a few minutes. There may also be an issue of sellers making claims about the maximum safe discharge rate of their batteries that are not based in reality.
"Easier and faster" is an understatement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u5jCPHmevE

The switch to Intel started six months [correction: seven months] from the announcement, and took seven months to complete.

June 5th, 2005: Intel switch announced at WWDC

This is good advice. It sounds like your involvement was largely undocumented, so I'm guessing you don't have any non-competes to deal with.

Maybe start the same company all over again and go after your old customers. See how Pop handles that one.
Frankly, I think it should be. Extremely bright and educated people who have worked with the technology as an executive in a professional or educational/research setting.

There is a legal term for what you are describing - it is called "conflict of interest". No, I do not think professionals should be involved in making decisions in matters in which they have a conflict of interest. Not all AI researchers are stakeholders in Uber, Waymo, or Tesla, hence you would select those people to investigate, as you would analogously do in any other matter of human affairs.

In fact, I'll go a step further and say that an "AI specialist" should be working alongside a "car accident specialist" and "laywers". I am arguing that this is a better combination than "Ethics specialist", "car accident specialist" and "lawyers" to investigate the accident.
Public companies tend to focus on making money instead of innovation?

They become slaves of their quarter reports and lose the ability of investing in long term projects?

Dave Seabury is a friend of mine and he indeed did an incredible job both in the care and presentation of the photos and of sleuthing out the original photographer. And as this story illustrates, the journey is the reward. Dave's adventure had him crossing paths with so many people in SF's music, art, and journalism world.

Our band (Dave and mine) performed the Beatles' Candlestick set on the opening night of the photo show in SF. Lots of fun and good vibes.

Thanks for posting this.
Smart entrepreneur had to take massive risks (albeit short term because of the sold yield) and do a ton of work over the timespan it takes to have that come to fruition.

Yes, I understand the reward is also super high. I'm just trying to point out that for most people if they tried this they'd likely fail to pull it off(competence) or run out of runway(contingency).

I'm not claiming to have insider knowledge of Apple's strategy, but there have been many reports over the last year or two that speculate about the extent to which services will provide revenue instead of hardware.

API seems to be down for maintenance. Nice to see Panera is taking action, sad to hear that this seems to be way, way after the original vulnerability was reported.
I added Charter (71.10.216.1) to the list, and in Mid-michigan via Charter, they consistently come out ahead by a clear margin for me:

Norton, Neustar, and Cloudflare consistently vie for the top spots next to Charter on all of the runs I've done. Occasionally Google mixes it up for the #2 spot as well, but Neustar, Norton, and Cloudflare just edge them out most of the time.

> The current A11 chips for iPhones are within 10% of Intel's top mobile chips on Geekbench

No, they aren't. iPhone X's multithreaded geekbench score is 10k. The 15" macbook pro is 15k. That's a lot more than 10%. It's only close if you look at the lower end Intel chips, the dual core ones (which is what Apple ships in the 13" macbook pro).
The simplest explanation is that they aren't that committed to the high end. They don't make any money there and they've proven with their actions it is not a priority. A few quotes to the contrary don't change the fundamentals of what they've been doing.

> 8.0% reported in 2016 that they smoked cigarettes in the past 30 days—a decrease from 15.8% in 2011.

The CDC report doesn't report clearly on the overlap between modalities, but if e-cigarette uptake is cancelling all the reductions in non-e-cigarettes, it's quite alarming that nicotine consumption isn't being reduced as previously though.
I had to look up populism to make sure:
