Looking for team members for crypto collectible app
Hey everyone. Over the past 8 months I built Dolli. Dolli is an app that allows people to purchase, collect, and sell digital art tied to the blockchain. These collectibles are called Dollies. It abstracts everything blockchain and the goal is to appeal to the mainstream. Dollies are purchased with a credit card and you don't need to know anything about crypto to collect Dollies.

Currently the app is unpublished in the app store. I am still in the process of finding a bank who is willing to process credit cards for a company dealing in digital art tied to the blockchain.

I am the sole founder and engineer on the project. I have developed the smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain, the mobile app, the backend, and the landing page.

There's currently around 350 people who have shown an interest in the app and reserved a username, however since I haven't found a bank to work with these people are still waiting...

With that being said I am looking for co-founders, or anyone who may be able to bring something to the table and has an interest in this. This would be for equity only.

I don't remember when in my Python career I learned about names vs. values, but it finally clicked for me that I'm predominately just binding a value to a name with the = assignment. Now everything I read has become very easy to reason about and understand.

Ned Batchelder is a good resource for learning many things about python, and this talk he gave at Pycon some years ago is no exception:

If I were to do a start up right now, I think I would do a meal kit start up (not that I actually know what I’m doing). There’s still a market for it—people really like the kits—it’s the business model that’s the problem. I think the delivery part is where they go wrong. It’s too expensive to cold pack these things every day and deliver them to individual addresses.

I’d try to partner with restaurants to prepare the meal kits. Restaurants have a staff that’s trained to handle food, plus a kitchen to do it safely, and time during the day when they’re not busy. Oh, and they already received regular large food deliveries. Restaurants are well distributed enough that it’s easy enough for people to pick up a kit on the way home from work.

From the point of the startup, there’s not intense capital costs, you just have organize orders and pickups and ensure quality.
What food has the most calories per dolar?
I was burgled some years ago. The officers who responded, when I got home and found this, were attentive. The detective subsequently assigned the case? Not much. Even though, in warning my neighbors, I discovered that there was then a rash of burglaries occurring in the neighborhood.

In part, I understood this. While the personal loss was significant to me, the dollar amount was only a few thousands that insurance covered. Nobody was hurt. No guns were stolen.

In fact, those were two of the first questions I was asked: "Do you have any guns?", and "Were there any company files on the laptop?"

On the other hand, a couple of days later, I found that a piece of paper left on the floor held a perfect if light image in dirt of a sneaker sole that did not match my shoes and I was pretty sure did not match the patrolmens' footwear. So I called the detective and left a message, and followed up once. He didn't even bother to respond.

I mention this, because people should understand, to the extent they don't already: Police "triage" their cases. And for many of those cases, it doesn't matter that a crime was committed. They are putting their time, energy, and political capital towards other things. (They have their own workplaces to deal with, including reciprocity and the need to build their careers. Whether or not you agree with the system (as an insider or an outsider seeking services), it's how things work.)

P.S. That sucks, Will. I can relate to how frustrating that must be. And in my case, a bit more attention might have meant less people ultimately burgled.
I had an interesting conversation with colleagues about this. They are all well educated people but for some reason they compared these services to eating out, rather than buying food at a grocery store.

Many of my colleagues thought $10/meal was great! My mouth dropped when they claimed how good of a deal this was.

There's also no education and skills gained by just buying everything. Blue Apron teaches you how to cook. Simple as that.
Nitpick: There is no closed form solution for the 5th root of a polynomial in terms of only additions, subtractions, multiplications, divisions and root extractions. This is what Galois showed. However, it can be expressed in closed form using trigonometric functions [1]. There is a summary here of the many closed form solutions that exist [2].

No, next you hire private security contractors since the cops are just state thugs who rob and kill the tax payer.

You can't defend the inept killer cops, you just can't, stop it.
Thank you - even seeing that number is really helpful.

Did the topics of your books diverge significantly? One thing I'm balancing is moving out of security and into other areas.

My real, secret, ultimate goal would be to break into general interest nonfiction, which is of course completely different, but I'm content for now just moving on to other technical topics.

Well, yes, that that's all the effort you devoted does explain the rather giant hole in your argument.
Of course comparing celery to a McDouble using just kcal/$ is not really appropriate but when comparing two reasonably nutritionally balanced meals it's an ok way to compare value.
In Texas, H-E-B sells exactly what you are describing. They have four types of meal kits: eat, heat, cook, and prep.

https://www.heb.com/static-page/meal-simple

I buy at least 3-4 of them a week because they're perfect for a single person who wants to eat in and maybe not prep as much but still wants a wide variety of meals to eat.
and what would you add in this sentence:

"Alexa add paper towels milk and eggs to my shopping list" (punctuation intentionally left out)

It's a really cool problem to try and solve, and while I don't have an Alexa, I do have a google home which gets this kind of stuff right often enough that I don't really think about it any more (and kind of laugh on the rare chance it gets it wrong).

This video has a couple scenes of people opening the package in what looks like their own house. Like the guy vacuuming up all the glitter after the fact, or the woman tossing the package in her trash can. Sure with Mark Rober had given some details about what the police did in that case.

A great example of how Trump has been elected. He lied a lot, (or said stupid things because he was ignorant in a topic) but it doesn't matter, because rebuttal takes a bit more effort than saying stupid things so what he said stuck with a lot of people. Sorry, but this article is just ignorant in almost every point.
No, while implementing such a feature wouldn't be difficult, one of F#'s imperatives is to ensure type conversions are explicit everywhere. Plus, given dotnet does have delegates, and F# has anonymous classes that would give a one-line workaround, this feature would be of limited use.

> Tor did a good job with marketing and optics early on, to make its intended use cases highly visible.

I used to work on Freenet. The mechanic you're pointing out doesn't have to be the dominant effect if the system performs as well as the alternatives. If everything else is equal (speed and convenience), users would of course prefer to have more security than less. If the performance and usability is only slightly worse, users may still be willing to choose security over that (e.g. Tor) - people today are becoming more aware of just how much their data can get abused.

Unfortunately for Freenet the technology wasn't capable enough - the security wasn't worth the usability and performance tradeoffs for most users. That doesn't mean strong security inherently attracts unpleasant types.
The CME started trading futures contracts for BTC in December of last year. Since then, it's been a downward spiral in terms of price. With the CME involved, it means banks(let that sink in) are trading against you. Their pain threshold exceeds yours(and all of ours), and you will lose every time betting against them.
you should really cite your own personal experience on the page. if i had seen that you have read 100 books in dotsies i would have taken it much more seriously. all this other stuff is kind of post hoc rationalization. if dotsies didn't end up being easier to read it would all be irrelevant. i really think you underestimate the complexity of reasons (or lack thereof) why dotsies works (or doesn't)

I don't think the correct takeaway is that we're OK with law enforcement looking the other way. Clearly that is the best route to solve this issue, and we need more oversight into why certain cases are handled in this way and why. What is the priority of law enforcement, and where is the time allocation for case follow-up.
I've definitely structured f# modules that way. The module exposes one function that "injects" the dependency into multiple other functions, and then returns them as a blob.

I'm not sure if that's "the fsharp way" (i suspect it isn't) and maybe I'll look back on it some day and cringe, but it's working pretty well for some of my (admittedly small) side projects I'm tinkering with right now.
I think the cost to subsidize this program is too much. I have countless flyers for $50 off first order etc etc.

I think if I were to enter this space, I would start a B2B meal prep where I have staff go into grocery stores, put together boxes that the stores own customers can buy. I'm not talking about the prepped food, but boxes with all the ingredients. Stores retain some lost customers from these meal kits and people get the experience of cooking something new.

Conversely, I grew up in a pretty rough area of Philadelphia and had nothing but good experiences with police. They're usually pretty cool and active in the community. If you're not selling crack or in the middle of stabbing some guy, you're already better than 99% of the people they have to deal with on a daily basis.
> Then also know where you live

And you know were they live also. One side has much more to lose than the other. The guy can exert devastating social damage in the life of the thieves just showing the videos in their street, to their landlord, or filtering it to a friend in the same school, not to mention uploading them to internet. Their faces are clearly seen on film stealing. Their address is known. In some cases even their cars are known also.

The logical step for a smart thief would be to move to easier targets and avoid bothering a guy able to spend six entire months building a very complicated plot to seek exact revenge.
Yeah this is really annoying.
This is a sign, but their entire business model is pretty much dead on arrival, regardless of how well the economy is doing.
Any reason in particular why it's "unacceptable"?
I came across platejoy (platejoy.com) a couple months ago while looking for a meal plan that would work around my food allergies and it check most of the boxes of what you are asking for.

The planning is week by week, and it doesn't have a best price thing, but it does pretty much everything else (recepies in app, you can tell it ahead of time you prefer to eat leftovers for lunch, each recipe has a prepare & cook time and asks for feed back). Also, it can send all the ingredient to Instacart in a single click, if that's your thing.

It's really changed the way I eat. I went from eating out for lunch and dinner almost every day, to cooking at home pretty much every night.
“Basic” cable internet where I am is $90/mo, after the initial contract runs out. That’s $1000/yr.

Not the OP but IME with a lot of web/api development work this seems to be the case more than not.

I do realize that most web work is really more functional than OOP, but classes do make it very easy to bundle dependencies without adding noise to the implementation/signatures.
I've found that by shopping at higher end grocery stores, or at least focusing on the organic/craft-oriented departments, the quantities tend to be smaller and much better suited to my childless, bachelor existence.

There was also a learning curve to preparing food for just myself to consume. The priorities are different from the family household I grew up in, so much of what I had learned didn't apply very well unmodified, to my adult life.

Families make the costly perishable ingredients go further by utilizing carbohydrates like pastas and breads as fillers.

I now make many of the same dishes I grew up eating, but without the pasta or bread, which I've entirely stopped purchasing to the very clear benefit of my health/weight.

When you dispense with the fillers, it's a lot easier to consume the perishable ingredients in one or two meals.

It definitely seemed strange at first to eat things like lentil or chicken soup or a meat ragu with pork ribs sans pasta or bread. But once acclimated, the recipes have changed a bit to be less liquidy while more meaty/beany with more veggies where applicable, and are very tasty and nutritious. It's basically decadence, and healthier than eating all the carbs.
Best to say "yes! but only some of the time". It's something we're working on right now. You can be 80% accurate, by some metric, but it's still not good enough usually to pass a human's sniff test. Good speaker labeled audio in various settings is hard to find.

There are several ways to look at this problem too.

L1: exact speaker is known (voiceprint) and can be picked from all humans with accuracy, even when others are talking
L2: exact speaker is known from a subset of people, even while talking in a conversation with others
L3: speaker1,2,3,... are identified accurately
L4: speaker changes are identified accurately

L1 is a really hard problem. L2 is fine if you don't care about the time domain (knowing exactly when they spoke), but is harder if you have to accurately detect changes. L3 is about as hard as L2 but the big goal isn't who anymore, it's when. And L4 is easier, kinda like putting line breaks in when human transcribing a file. Not too bad. All of them need better data sources.

I don't know what the spec's solution for that would be, but what you've typed would not work. Specifically because when I say `this.#foo` it is not a property on the object named "#foo". It is just the syntax for looking up a private field referenced by the literal #foo.
We'll have to ditch the cheesecake I think. Start slicing!
My experience has been that it depends heavily on who's doing the delivery.

US Postal Service staff usually do ring the doorbell when leaving packages, and, if nobody answers, they will make an effort to leave it in a concealed location if that's possible.

UPS and FedEx people in our area typically leave it by the door without ringing the doorbell, but usually do still try to conceal the package.

Amazon delivery people typically leave it out in the yard, next to the sidewalk.

I'm guessing the difference has a lot to do with the deliveries-to-time ratio that each company's drivers get.
it's a non-violent crime of opportunity. police time is $150/hour at least. all your loses seem to be covered by the banks, aside from the car window, which um happens to people all the time. its the kind of thing they pursue occasionally in realtime or with a sting, but not each individual case.

change your key, open a new checking account & close old, lock your credit. and that ends your exposure.

you won't get the video footage because it creates a legal liability for the owners to release it.

EDIT I'm all for broken windows but thats still implemented as a sampling approach. They don't actually pursue every low-level crime.
Not here either - I can take a photo of anyone in the street. However, I can’t mount a fixed surveillance camera on my house and do the same (for some reason).
Ask HN: Would you accept a distant interview with no travel reimbursement?
I've spoken to a couple recruiters today who say it's uncommon for companies to reimburse applicants for travel, even if they have to get a flight from another state.

It's always been my personal policy that if they don't pay for travel, I decline the interview. These recruiters are ever so slightly making me wonder if I'm being entitled, although I don't really think I am.

What's your position on it?

If you liked the T-shirt trick, follow my instructions: Take a deep breath in. Breath out. You are breathing manually now. Don’t forget that at all times you are only two minutes away from asphyxiation.
I guess wouldn't you file suit against the police as they are now responsible?
This is incorrect. Orders and their distribution in the order book is called liquidity. Alone, they have very little meaning, and are often manipulated in the securities and commodities market(ie: you see a 5,000 bid, and place your own 5,000 ask - suddenly the bid is gone, and your ask gets rolled by huge buy orders). "Buy/sell curve" has no meaning, the closest term would be "yield curve", such as US interest rates. As the rate climbs and falls, there are inverse effects on financial instruments.
>What food has the most calories per dolar?

For DIY food my wild guess would be butter. My somewhat educated guess for prepared food would be something off the value menu at McDonalds/Burger King/Wendys.
>where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy

Which pretty clearly doesn't apply to out in the open in the middle of a public street.
Most of the local grocery stores in Portland have bulk spices where you could get enough of whatever you needed for a dish for well under a dollar.
I don’t think you understand what the Shuttle did for the ISS it’s not about it being a launch platform but about it being a huge EVA and construction platform from which in orbit construction operations could be run.

We have no way to do any major service to the ISS now without the shuttle and the ISS retrofit was the main reason for the deferral in the Shuttles retirement.
Until they finally do it in Texas or Florida, and get shot to death.
You are right about the first example (although the F# version looks nicer =D)

But that struct example is less than great.

Just last night I had a readonly C# struct like that, that I used as a dictionary key and wondered why my perf tests took a nose dive when the Dictionary hit a few dozen entries.

My boneheaded mistake was i forgot to override GetHashCode and Object.Equals. Great my perf was looking decent, but even then I was allocating 32 bytes of memory on every lookup.

I forgot I needed to also implement IEquatable<> to prevent boxing on calls to Object.Equals.

My little 2 item struct is 3 lines of definition and 7 lines of boiler plate to get it right. and my GetHashCode impl is suboptimal.

F# records do all of that for you. every time. automatically.
> A great example of how Trump has been elected. He lied a lot, (or said stupid things because he was ignorant in a topic) but it doesn't matter

While I agree with the author's reasons why Python sucks ass, he's wrong about Commodore but thinks that he isn't:

"Where's Commodore today? It died out as users abandoned the platform."

No. Commodore died because Irving Gould told Tramiel to pack his bags and go when Tramiel told him it wasn't okay to use company's assets like the jet as personal property. Once Tramiel was fired, the company was plagued by chaos and mismanagement, but it had nothing to do with how bad or good Commodore's computers were. It's the 21st century and people still write fresh software and design modern hardware for Commodore computers, so they've never been abandoned.
