Ask HN: How to Make $20K a Month
OK, so me and a friend had enough of being employees and we want to leave and create a company of our own. My friend is a very talented developer and I’m more of the jack-of-all-trades type with lots of experience in product, business, marketing, copywriting, etc.

The thing is, though, that we’re not young anymore (40ish) and we’ll need to make around $10K monthly each, pretty quickly (let’s say in 6 months time).

So I know these types of questions are getting asked a lot, but I thought we can all brainstorm together again and come up with interesting directions.

Thanks!

Some questions if there are outdoor hackers around:

What are some laptops that work well with Linux and have max screen brightness suitable for outdoor use?

A web site comparison said one Dell XPS 15 model[1] could do 626 nits - what kind of outdoor conditions would this be suitable for?

It seems advertising displays advertise an order of magnitude more nits[2] so I assume the laptops would at best be suitable for overcast weather without shade.

But you understand Ops, and you have your developers understand Ops, which is my point.

Hiring "DevOps" teams completely misses the point, in the same way that I don't hire Unit Testing teams to write the unit tests that my Devs don't want to do the grunt work for.

When a Dev understands Ops they write more efficient code, as they realise what storing your entire DB in cache really means for the server.

I wonder how many paid users are there for the hosted version and how the pricing was arrived at. Paying $90 a year for a personal CRM seems quite high since this is for each user. The application allows adding people, relationships, notes about people, events, contacts had with people, etc. There is no integration with any data source to pull information automatically. There is no integration with any platform or application to communicate with others.

I believe the hosted application could earn a lot more to support development and maintenance at a lower price point and reaching many more people.
Indeed, but the ACM is not (purely) a publisher. It should represent the interests of its members instead of betraying them.

The real cost is your time. Projects always take longer than you expect, especially if you haven’t done it before (the business part). Product is the easiest and has limited risks if you have decent dev skills.

Enterprise is also one of the hardest markets, not only technically, but also getting clients (3-12 months from first contact to money in the bank is normal). Enterprise is also a game where they don’t buy the best software, a lot of factors play a role in getting enterprise clients. It’s doable but definitely playing a new game on hard/insane level.

Focus on the problem that you solve for the business, without a very strong case for that and be able to gain a champion within the company you are selling to, it’s near impossible. As you can see its more about sales, and connections, and less about product.

I’ve been in your situation before serving enterprise SaaS as a two-person company for 5 years. It was very hard and I would not do it again. Then again, once we got clients they were easily paying $30k/yr with long term contracts in place. High risk, high reward.

If you are starting out you have different levels of risk you can take. Since your real prime-time years are at stake, are you going to play this game on hard right at the beginning? I’d suggest to start on easy, get more experience, and as you grow, level up. Once you have a couple $$$ in the bank, do bigger projects with higher risk/higher reward ratio.

That’s what I wished someone told me 10 years ago.

If I were you in this situation now, I’d first warm up those connections, as they will play a crucial role in your company. Is it something they want or need? Is the pain they are experiencing so hard they are willing to prefund the project? If you think so, try convincing them to get either dev money beforehand (hard) or have them sign a binding (hard) or non-binding (doable) agreement to pay xx amount when the software is ready. Include what features/problems you will solve in the agreement.

Your ideas about profit sharing are too complicated in my opinion.

If you are not able to convince them to prefund or either sign an agreement, for me personally this would be already too high risk. Unless those connections are decision makers and you play golf every month with them ;)

That’s what I would do in your situation and my 2 cents.

Wish you all the best of luck, not want to discourage you, but sharing my own experiences in a somewhat similar situation. If you need advice, help, or just wanna bounce some ideas, always willing to help out fellow entrepreneurs.

"we can't possibly have apps for anything that spark our interest. that just won't work!"

Exactly. That was how the internet worked before the web (and still does today): pop/smtp, ftp, nntp, gopher, etc. had each one its own client because they were different protocols doing different things. But today, when phones have a working web browser that does what 99% of apps can do and more, it's against any logic forcing people to install an app for every brand, sometimes for every product. That would be ok for mail, news, file transfer, IoT, music, video, etc. because they're way different things, but installing 5 apps to read 5 newspapers or buying 5 products from 5 different vendors is like throwing into the toilet all innovation brought since the web was invented.
I can guess only three reasons for this: sticking a brand name into the user screen, bypassing browsers adblockers, and getting a foot into the door for nefarious purposes since most apps require insanely dangerous privileges which one day could be exploited.
There's been speculation that the heart of the winter will shift. That instead of a cold arctic surrounded by permanent westerly winds the winds will shift so the coldest area is somewhere in North America during the northern winter.

Reviewing an amazon article costs 5 minutes. Reviewing a paper costs a day.

Journals extort hundreds of man hours per conference from reviewers. The largest cost of all, research and writing the paper, isn't reimbursed in the slightest and largely covered by tax payers, who then still won't be able to access the results because of paywalls.

The entire business plan of journals is to take research and peer review for free, and then sell it. Back when distribution was costly that may have made sense, but nowadays with the internet the cost of distribution is a fraction of what it used to be.

I tried it and really liked the features.

So far I haven't been able to bake it into some kind of 'visit friends workflow'. And also I get this bad vibe from consulting-managing my personal relationships, it feels cold, cynical and controlling. It's not who I am. However it's not this apps' fault, but the feeling I get from trying to apply it and get some value out of putting effort into tracking personal relationships.

Right, but those costs are paid by the university and/or the taxpayer (in the case of publicly funded research) - they are not paid by the publishers. The latter effectively treat academics as free labour from which they can profit.
And journals are happy to take all that research and review work that is paid for by tax payers, and then put it behind paywalls.
> Traditionally, the open-source OS has been far behind Windows when it comes to gaming, but is that still the case in 2019?

From a hardcore Ubuntu gamer's perspective, you defeat your own argument by using "open-source" and "NVIDIA" in the same sentence. Historically, they have never gotten along and have caused eternal pitstops for gamers using a Linux distro like Ubuntu, Pop!_OS for tweaking their systems for using the latest NVIDIA GPUs.

While the news here is welcoming for general PC gamers, the moment Windows gamers try to move to a Linux distro (Ubuntu) with NVIDIA as their GPU, things get chaotic if the GPU is too new. If I was to go for a Linux-based gaming machine these days, the CPU must be AMD Ryzen and the external GPU must be Radeon.

Also "Linux" is a OS kernel rather than a full OS. Ubuntu or Pop!_OS with AMD is "the" viable OS for PC gamers migrating from Windows. The moment you involve NVIDIA, then it becomes "almost" and if it involves VR gaming then it becomes "nearly there, but not quite".
Why take them down? That's someone's free speech right? This is what we're told about false information and political ads with outright lies in them, aren't we? Why would this be any different?

Rather predictable that the "line" for taking something down suddenly appears when you're lying to Facebook. Lie to other users and it's fine... as long as you are a real commodity, ahem, I mean "person."

Cease to lie in a way that allows Facebook to make money (not much point serving ads to bots, is there?), and all of the sudden you're taken down. Funny that.
I strongly advise against trusting statistical entropy tests in the application layer.

There are reasons to do statistical tests (for example, the USB key Ted mentioned needs to make sure the circuit is still generally functioning), but when you're in the application, there has already been so much de-biasing and whitening going on, that you will never really catch a problem. You will only obsess about a random (ha!) fluke where a tests sporadically fails.

I think both things can be true at the same time. San Francisco is an amazing place to work in technology (in my view, nowhere else comes close). But the municipal government is also a complete cesspool of inefficiency & corruption.
Thunks can be an anti-pattern. They encourage multiple dispatches to redux which can leave people designing "set data" style reducers rather than more meaningful ones. Parent comment suggests sagas and that's much better. An action in a component dispatches one thing and the saga can co-ordinate all of the logic.

Extreme backwards compatibility. An application might depend on the blocking behaviour (be it sensible or not). And since it's a change visible from user space, it won't be done (except in extreme circumstances).

You are not paid by the publisher though, which I think is important. Peer review is essential for publishing, and yet the cost of it is shifted to the universities (and other publicly funded institutions). From the point of view of the publisher it's free labour

arXiv is a nice idea but I kinda hate it. It's not compatible with overleaf for no good reason at all. arXiv expects you to ship the source of the article + some sort of generated bib file of a specific version, instead of generating the bib file from the source. As a result, arXiv will fail to host overleaf generated content if both happen to use different versions of tex at the time. But I'm submitting the entire source to arXiv, so there is no good reason for arXiv to fail to produce a pdf from it!

Gave up on arXiv because of that. I use overleaf to avoid all the Latex issues, and I'm absolutely not interested in supporting something that expects me to get back to wasting time on fixing latex issues instead of producing content.
You have a very good point.
What if an author gets inanimate physics right, but horribly botches the realm of the mind? After all, science deals with organic matter, and how that matter manifests thought and emotions. If an author can't even get that part of science right, why should anyone care what they have to say on another part of science?
I like the idea behind a personal CRM. Personally, however, I don't think I've come to the point in my life where I forget about people when I meet them in-person.

On top of that, my biggest issue with tools like these (not bashing, really appreciate that products like these exist) is that they don't intrinsically flow with my life. Honestly Apple Contact is probably as far as I'll go (if even that... I leave a lot of calls without properly IDing them). Personally, I find filling out all the info about a person into some database takes a lot of time... which I guess overtime may save some time based on if you're really utilizing it. This is similar to photos: I am a strong privacy advocate, but Google Photos simply is a far greater product than if I were to spend 10x the time combing through photos to create animations and videos.

Obviously, however, in business, a CRM is a great tool (CRM for investors for example). Which makes me think... maybe I haven't met that many people?

Love the idea of the product and appreciate it exists. I think I'll stick to Apple Contacts and Twitter.

Ask HN: Is React Native tooling this unstable for anyone else?
I’ve had a variety of issues with code not executing as expected while developing with React Native the past few months. Sometimes directly related to hot reloading but a lot of times killing everything and restarting isn’t enough either and I still get code deployed either to the simulator or a device that isn’t consistent with what I’ve saved on the filesystem. Then there’s relatively frequent debugger/package server crashes on top of that. Because these issues tend to pop up randomly, but on an almost daily basis, I can never be sure if unexpected behavior I’m seeing is actually due to a problem in my code or some bad state with the tooling. Is this a common issue with other devs? I’m sort of surprised at what feels like an overall lack of quality that I hadn’t heard complaints about before trying it myself.
Unless you quantify this further, it doesn't mean a it's a net negative for wellbeing, longevity or anything. By getting out of bed you're at increased risk of falling down, etc.
A relatively recent example of rapid infrastructure building (in California no less!) can be found with C.C Meyers.

"Proclaimed a “Local Hero,” Clinton “C.C.” Myers was lauded on the cover of the July 1995 issue of Comstock’s magazine for “working miracles in heavy construction.” Three big projects by C.C. Myers Inc. cemented his legacy: rebuilding two bridges in Watsonville after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake; reconstructing the Santa Monica Freeway after the 1994 Northridge earthquake; and rebuilding a stretch of Interstate 5, including a bridge, near Coalinga after the 1995 floods. He was equally famous for the efficiency of these projects — 55 days in Watsonville, 66 days in Santa Monica and 21 days in Coalinga — and the huge bonuses he earned for finishing projects early."

> The RoI is absolutely insane - even if 10k people switch to a well researched alternative to tobacco and avoid serious health implications

The problem is that vaping is converting non-smokers into vapers. That's a really BAD ROI.

Estimates are now as high as 25% of high schoolers vape and has snagged more women than cigarettes would have. That's undone 20+ years of anti-smoking efforts. So, yeah, public health officials are really pissed off.

Yes, vaping is a good replacement for smoking. It's not a good replacement for not smoking, however.

It's not like all of the problems on the web are caused by technology. Adding a <script> tag to your HTML doesn't automatically make your page weigh 10MB and snoop on its users. All those problems are caused by business decisions. When you decide to add an analytics script, or put an ad on the page, or hire a designer to make it look appealing to customers - that's where things go wrong.

In other words: even if we had a page/app split on the web from the beginning, businesses would still fuck it all up, and we'd have the same problems with bloat, ads, dark patterns and surveillance capitalism as we have today.
Given Twitter's history of support towards their official API, the unofficial one is likely less brittle.
