Show HN: RequestCreative, a website builder for your freelance business
Hi HN community,

I'm David, the founder of RequestCreative (https://www.requestcreative.com/), a website builder that helps you create a site around your freelance offerings. After developing a marketplace that didn't gain enough traction, we started interviewing lots of our freelancers. We learned there's a big difference (in pricing) between freelancers who knew how to navigate their market and advocate for standard practices and those that were stuck at the mercy of their clients.

We decided, after conducting a few dozen interviews, that it was important to help freelancers level up their game from not knowing how to serve their market effectively to knowing how to navigate even complex client demands. We believe this shift in aptitude starts with helping freelancers build their own professional site where anyone can hire them.

In this version of the site, we put a lot of emphasis on ease of use -- so creating a site (and getting hired through it) is as simple as posting a blog post. Also, we make sure every site loads very fast. The stack is a traditional, server-rendered web app -- and we only load a minimal amount of Javascript on the client-facing/non-editable version of the site. It's also mobile-friendly, so all your clients can hire you no matter where they're browsing from.

Our upcoming roadmap includes automically handling contracts (as part a paid plan). The contracts will be generated from a questionnaire that your clients fill out and then sent to you for review before your client agrees to it. Our long term goal is to help you automatically handle all of the tiny, but important details around your freelance projects, so you can stay focused on doing the work you enjoy and avoid having to talk through a missing project detail at 1AM with an angry client.

We look forward to hearing your thoughts on this project! You can contact me directly at david@artisfy.com.
Kinda ironic that your comment is a good example of this style, in describing your feelings using an “I” statement without attacking the speaker.
There is no rhyme or reason other than the fact that one or the other could be patented by a private co unlike Ketamine. I assume trying to patent both would've doubled their costs, so why bother, especially if it's highly probable both do the same thing.

That article doesn't mention the "smile" is an arrow that goes "from A to Z".

I've only just noticed it, I can't imagine it's not intentional though. Mind you I don't spend long looking at logos unless I'm working on them.
Plug: new subreddit for this, https://www.reddit.com/r/spravato. Has an AMA from someone who was part of the trial.

Right now it's hard to find a treatment center participating in the REMS, but spravato.com should have a locator tool up later this month.
The frequencies involved are generally low enough that EMI is not an issue (which is generally required because of big nests of random banana plug patch cords of unknown RF performance)

You're right, Apple shouldn't produce products that are actually usable for the vast amount of customers in the world as it exists today.

They should also abandon LTE and only produce devices that work with 5G.....
This is exactly what I miss after moving to US from India.

In 2012 the data in India was too much expensive, like a GB or two for a Dollar. Around 2017, It was About Two GB every day for 30 days for Two Dollars total. Amazing. 4G. Good coverage. Airtel. Here in US ATT gives me 3GB for a whole month, & extra $15 if I go over 3 for next 1 GB.

Infact from few days I am trying to find a cheaper data only prepaid pay-as-you-go Sim for my second phone.
As long as coding is optional and not compulsory.
While attending primary and secondary school I was forced to learn certain subjects, this has resulted in an aversion towards certain subjects, which today I begin to find interesting. However I still have some of that old feeling.
But the iPad Air is thicker than the iPad Pro. And the MacBook Air is thicker than the MacBook.

I think Apple are now simply using Air brand name on midrange devices.

iPad Pro > iPad Air > iPad
MacBook Pro > MacBook Air > Macbook
It's also associated with Alzheimer's disease, which is a horrible way to die. It can cause blindness and death, particularly in newborns. I don't think it wise to dismiss herpes as just something mild or inevitable.
I agree with you - that said, it all depends on the situation. Good manager will present the same thing as almost mandatory to someone who is more extroverted, and as completely optional and not a big deal to someone who is not. Both of them will feel appreciated and will feel comfortable in the company, which is actually the whole idea. Some people need this kind of exposure, some don't. We just need to appreciate the fact that we are not all the same, and that we all need to have our own way to deal with the socializing rituals.
I might increase the battery life by some, but I guess you still need to bring your charger for a weekend trip.
The ability to sell and distribute apps on iOS.
No, that's why I phrased my comment as a question. When the implementation difficulties of regulation come up on libertarian-leaning forums, it often seems like it's really an indirect way of arguing against the whole concept and practice of regulation (e.g. like this comment describes: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19424511). I just wanted to see if that was the case here or not, hence the question.
The regulators can (and do) take enforcement action against government bodies. Some recent examples from the UK:

Even worse is are the conditions for being prescribed. First you have to have failed 5 previous medications but still be taking one. The dosages are delivered only to your psychiatrist. You have to have it injected there and then you have to wait 2 hours and are not permitted to drive for 24 hours. And that's for the several injections per week...

So not only will the drug be expensive but you're going to be charged a doctors visit every time AND you'll have to figure out how to get off from work for hours each week.

Seems a lot easier to go down to the local high school and buy a bag of K.
I don't think this applies much to 3 and 4 year olds.
I wrote a tool which uses Twilio to screen out robocalls: https://github.com/noah-huppert/human-call-filter
One other handy tool can be https://badssl.com/dashboard/ for doing a quick scan for surprises — this is especially useful if you're testing managed workstations and want to confirm that someone hasn't “fixed” a problem by deploying a group-policy update which breaks TLS security.
The trouble is that old rows can stick around many hours after any transaction could ever see them. It's good that it's being addressed.
Simple Google DNS servers or things like that easily circumvent those restrictions, at least on AirTel & Jio. BSNL is always I have seen as follower of other companies in prices & policies.
I think you could sell a email+password database quite easily!
Ask HN: Any advice/lessons learned on CD/CI? Good books, articles, courses?
I am always trying to learn the best CD/CI (continuous deployment/continuous integration) and would love to hear your thoughts on what you have learned or resources that have helped you with CD/CI. Thanks!!
It is definitely not the equivalent of a foreign language, but it may be an equally beneficial use of time.
I live in Denmark and am above 40. i don’t think I’ve met anyone here with children that doesn’t have one or more ipads. I also don’t think ipad less developers are very common at any age. At my former company even our android developer had one. Of course Scanidnavia is iOS country, almost eveyone has an iPhone.
I’m not an expert but I’ve heard that K is so easy to make and cheap, it’s rarely cut.
Right, I think the real bill would be far more than double, but I haven't looked into this topic in depth, so I can't really say. While the party lasts, and the suburbs are heavily subsidized by cities/debt markets, sure, you'd have a hard time convincing the people being subsidized to change their ways. If that party ends, I think economic reality will do all the convincing. But markets and policy can stay irrational for a very long time, so who knows.
Lidl also decides what goes inside their stores. Does that mean Lidl is a monopoly?

iOS itself is not a monopoly.
Yes, but there's more to it than just that. It's possible to write Prolog programs which never derive new atoms yet still fail to terminate.

It might be more accurate to say that Datalog programs cannot derive new atoms and this allows Datalog interpreters to use a search strategy which is guaranteed to terminate.

EDIT: Thinking about this more, I'm not sure why Prolog couldn't also use breadth-first search. So maybe both are necessary: Datalog not only disallows creating new atoms, but it also has a better search strategy; the combination of the two results in guaranteed termination.
AI doesn't solve the underlying issue that made ketamine depression treatment expensive: intellectual property rights on a particular molecule.

If a company achieved AI that can identify effective alternatives, why wouldn't they just acquire the patents for all of those alternatives and prop up all the prices?
Huh? "Could have" what to "did" what?
Replying here since we ran out of room down below:

Compared to this Nature article, Ataturk was very direct. Read these quotes that I found using 3 seconds of difficult googling, and then decide on what side of the debate he would land.

"I have no religion, and at times I wish all religions at the bottom of the sea. He is a weak ruler who needs religion to uphold his government; it is as if he would catch his people in a trap. My people are going to learn the principles of democracy, the dictates of truth and the teachings of science. Superstition must go. Let them worship as they will; every man can follow his own conscience, provided it does not interfere with sane reason or bid him against the liberty of his fellow-men" [1]

"It is known by the world that, in our state administration, our main program is the Republican People's Party program. The principles it covers are the main lines that illuminate us in management and politics. But these principles should never be held equal to the dogmas of books that are assumed to have descended from the sky. We have received our inspirations directly from life, not from sky or unseen." [2]

--------------------------

[1] Quoted in Atatürk: The Biography of the Founder of Modern Turkey, by Andrew Mango; "In a book published in 1928, Grace Ellison quotes [Atatürk], presumably in 1926-27", Grace Ellison Turkey Today (London: Hutchinson, 1928)

[2] Atatürk'ün Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi'nin V. Dönem 3. Yasama Yılını Açış Konuşmaları (in Turkish). "... Dünyaca bilinmektedir ki, bizim devlet yönetimimizdeki ana programımız, Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi programıdır. Bunun kapsadığı prensipler, yönetimde ve politikada bizi aydınlatıcı ana çizgilerdir. Fakat bu prensipleri, gökten indiği sanılan kitapların doğmalarıyla asla bir tutmamalıdır. Biz, ilhamlarımızı, gökten ve gaipten değil, doğrudan doğruya yaşamdan almış bulunuyoruz."
this is such a silly line of reasoning. you're saying we can only make the incredible deadline by changing things in a very moderate fashion, rather than a radical one? just like we've been doing to get to this point lol?
"breakthrough pricing"?

I'm sorry, but there are generations of tablets in the sub-$300 range that were high enough end at the time. The Nexus 7 was great, I've got a Huawei tablet that's been very good (around $240 a year and a half ago iirc).
It's surprisingly difficult to translate any nontrivial passage from any human language to any other human language in a way that everyone can agree preserves meaning.

Hmm...static type checking is something you add to a programming language, so you seem to have your causalities mixed up a bit.

> confusing dynamic types with dynamic compilers

Nope. Most of the compilers for languages for different kinds of rich static type systems are slow, and getting slower. Yes, C++, but also Haskell, Scala and Swift. Some have Turing-complete type-systems, so you actually have no guarantee that compilation will even terminate, never mind the time it will take.

An almost bigger point is incrementality. A language/system like Smalltalk lets you compile a method at a time without stopping the running program, and you can do an exploratory step that is allowed to be inconsistent without having to fix all related code.

The development experience is something that has to be seen and lived to be believed.
Plus these penalties for breaking a lease were supposed to compensate the landlord for lost rent while looking for a new tenant. If a new tenant is always around the corner, how can they justify the penalties?
Incremental improvement is a hard constraint here.

Keeping track of pointer and length in two separate variables, when the C program has a freedom to do whatever it wants with them, creates a lot of hassle and edge cases to deal with. If C had a concept of a slice/array view that manages ptr+length as a single entity, it'd be so much easier.
Climate researchers mostly have tenure. They cannot be fired for going against majority opinion. And in most countries except the US, they do not rely on outside funding to any significant degree.

So participating in a giant fraud would actually be the most dangerous option for them, financially. Instead, they could expose it and, if convincing, would at the very least make a lot of money on book deals and the lecture circuit. Maybe even a Nobel.

Alternatively, they could switch their focus. With a solid foundation in physics, dynamic systems, etc. there are any number of topics they could easily work on.

Sometimes learn is impossible at work, or...

i had and experience... i was working for a bizarre company, the culture was very far from what i could consider decent, in some cases they were toxic. Nobody could understand what i was trying to say/do. MSSQL, C# and other very cool stuff.

But wait... they weren't able to understand what i was doing but... i was able to understand what their business was, their special use-cases, their customers and requirements.

Those moment are in the past now. But i learned a lot from people that could not understand me, having a completely different background.

Everybody can teach us something...
“interception” implies that this is being done without your knowledge and permission. That isn't a useful way to talk about a common class of service which you explicitly opt-in to use with a contract.

++ to this. Experience is the best teacher, though I think it widely depends on the person learning. Some individuals will learn well from others' whereas others really need to feel the fire to know why it's hot.

If you can't get reliable WiFi maybe the iPad isn't the product for you? I don't think that's an issue - there's loads of other products on the market and people who do want the clean Apple experience can get that. Why do all products have to do everything and suit the entire world's crazy workflows? You end up with a Homer Car.
I don't think this will help tremendously, but don't feel frightened if there is nobody to mentor or push you. When I started fresh from college (although that is some kind of experience), I found myself in a small start-up with 4 people, one of which was my good friend, but we were not leaders, just executors. The owner was the business guy, with little technical knowledge. Nevertheless, we pushed on hard. Learned ourselves (each of us four had little overlap, we interfaced). And you know what, although I felt lost and disoriented, I learned a lot, in perspective. Partially because I was inexperienced, but everything we did was quality, I must say.

Some years after I got into a company where everyone was much more experienced, and with mentors and all that. You know what? I become a mentor to most of them in a matter of months... Don't know how it happened, but it turned out that I've proven more agile.

Now I'm in a much more experienced and serious company, and now I do have seniors than myself. That helps a bit by helping me differentiate valuable from invaluable knowledge. But again, if you don't push yourself, no body will instead of you.

I'm not that experienced, it was only 6 years since I graduated.
Using source control is basic and vague, the specific practices around it you might be tempted to call an education are just as subject to getting lost in dogma vs. developing personal wisdom as anything else.

It's not just degrading coverage, Verizon no longer allows 3G device activations and is shutting down the 3G network completely on 12/31/2019 [1]. ATT is doing the same in a few years.

Interestingly, they are also no longer activating 4G devices unless they support HD Voice, so the iPhone 5s and 5c are out even though they support LTE.

Really? I do a similar thing when dealing with idiots (not idiots, fully formed human beings, with a legitimate point of view, probably not evil, probably quite normal in person) on the internet.

I find it helps keep me sane.
You'll be surprised.

My son never watched "Paw Patrol" but can describe some of the main characters, from his friend in preschool.
Perhaps not to an individual, but states and cities sue federal agencies all the time.

IANAL, but I believe it is possible to sue the "entire federal government." When someone commits a federal crime, the paperwork reads "United States vs. {$alleged_miscreant}." So it seems to me that the opposite should also be possible.
This approach is definitely up for debate but I stay abreast of emerging "best practices" by reading the blogs of the tools I use. I'm a software tester interested in project management and find myself reading Atlassian's QA blog quite a bit.
No, almost 40% of us do not get it. This is not something inevitable. I don't have any family member with the symptoms.

Got a wife/husband/best friend that you trust? Use iOS or Android's built in systems for restricting what you can do on your phone, from what websites you can visit to being able to install apps, and lock them in place with a pin... that your trusted partner sets. Now you have no choice.

Worked for me.
I'd be hugely interested in this phone if only it had some form of cell connectivity; even 2G would suffice for my purposes. While we wait for cheaper 4G modems, why not a pluggable SIM800 (cost: a few bucks) module for the rest of us?
Back and forth discussions are useless unless European Comission takes an action.

Moreover, I dont understand why users of spotify or another apps on iOS are necessarily customers of Apple. How about users who visit a website using a browser on an Apple device?
I work for a mobile gaming company in SV (500+ employees) where the office hours are 10 - 7. I come in just before 9 and I leave at 5. Nobody seems to care and people respect my hours. I receive good performance reviews and I'd like to think I'm seen as a "go-to" person in the company. Sometimes there's a light crunch where I'll pull 50 hours and/or take my work home with me but it's pretty rare. The problem is that it can be so hit-and-miss with these companies. I've watched teams from my last company push 120 hour weeks to get a product done while I still worked 40-45 hours (I wasn't involved with the project thank god).

You could literally work for a company (big or small) where teams or individuals work long hours. I personally don't think working longer hours should be awarded (unless the company is pushing for something) as it makes other people feel they need to work longer. I always felt it makes more sense to work smarter than longer.
True makes 100% sense
https://badssl.com/ is a great way to test how much your MITM proxy is masking insecure HTTPS comms. If a test passes that shouldn't, ship an email to your proxy team.
Okay, so otherwise qualified and highly skilled people should not be allowed into space due to a potentially minor skin condition. Makes sense. What if they break out with severe acne on the way to the launch pad?
I also have a Punkt MP01 - It feels like a breath of fresh air to use this and to have a phone for simply what a phone does, calls and text messages.

I've since purchased a portable music player, a separate camera and an old fashioned A-Z map for my local area. If you can't see why I might want to do this rather than have a small smartphone that does it all then you haven't realised how much of a problem these devices can be for some people like myself who find themselves unable to control their own willpower.

What I find now is that I have a device specifically for the intention that I want to use it for. I want to read? I pick up a book, I'm not distracted and my attention span has increased. I want to listen to music? I go to HDTracks and buy a super high quality version of the album and listen intently. Want to take pictures? Really actually take pictures that you'll use and value rather than a phone full of photos that will likely never get viewed again.

Punkt's philosophy is similar and I really really respect them as a company taking this line because it's very niche but I feel it's very necessary in today's world. Love that company <3
That one person was Ambani, owner of Reliance Petro Chemicals, & started Jio mobile, funfact: mirror reflection of Jio is almost oiL.
That was my point: to the extent that the semantic web has happened at all, it's because someone can go to their boss and say “If we do this, here's a non-hypothetical benefit we'll see immediately” and because Google invested in high-quality documentation and tools which make it easy to do correctly.
The manifesto is very easy to find in google (at least it was a few days ago). Not sure why you want to watch a video where 40 people are shot, documentation of historical significant massacres like the holocaust are hard enough to watch.
