Show HN:A product that provide the essential systems to small business
Hi, this is Anju. I have around 20+ experience in IT domain. I started as a software developer but eventually found my niche in Project Management.

For a decade I have worked in startups. I liked the thrill and roller coaster ride experience that you get while working in Startups. But I also noticed that the Startups mostly survive by Brute force. In their race to get more sales, they ignore other important functions like customer success, operations, people- in their business.

Or else in some scenarios , there are wealthy entrepreneurs who wants to setup the right systems from the beginning. They heavily invest in complex systems which are costly as well as difficult to use. Eventually either the systems are not used by anyone or only 10% of the features are used from those robust systems.

NOW No need to block your money on buying enterprise systems that are an overfit in your small setups.

I am working on a startup kit for entrepreneurs that provides the optimal set of tools required at the startup stage. It provides systems that serves the basic needs to help entrepreneurs track their business and provide reports for their analysis. The goal is to have the automated systems take care of internal business functions to keep the business healthy and growing.

Our product will provide you systems for important business functions like – Sales & Marketing, Operations, Customer Support, Product development, Business Reporting etc.
We do understand that different industry might have slightly different setup or needs. So along with the product we will also provide the consultancy to customize these systems in your business with no extra cost.

If you own a small business or if you want to own a small business, this "Product" is definitely for you.
Please check this for more information.

I will be happy to hear your thoughts about this product or any of your learnings /experiences about setting the process/systems for your business functions in your startup.

Thank you!
There have been plenty of news articles about these people. For example in Scandinavia top tax payers are published yearly, there have been some crypto investors who have made it to the top of the list, and have given out interviews.

Reading some of these it is not that much different to someone winning in the lottery or getting some making million-level exit from IT business.

> Why do you favor blaming rent for homelessness instead of lack of jobs that pay well enough?

In most countries, homelessness is concentrated in wealthy, but expensive cities e.g. London, NYC. There are plenty of well-paying jobs (even relatively unskilled ones) but high rents more than make up for it. I felt significantly more housing-secure living in a cheap area with a shitty job than in an expensive area with a good job.
It's unlikely to come out in court, but my father worked on the investigation and it became clear both the engineer and architect had e-mail corresponding showing they planned to blame various 3rd parties for several secondary effects of the tower's sinking, including cracking caused by the tower pushing on the exterior wall of the underground garage causing water intrusion.

There was so much corruption here, and my personal belief is the city was paid off to facilitate the settlement.
Maybe they are opportunists hoping to collect insurance and/or lawsuit money.
Maverick and Exocet for me...well and the R-36M, but that one is just a bit too terrifying.

I think it's supposed to be a sheaf of grain. Same idea!
No need to embed function calls everywhere. The integration of authorization middleware should only be as complicated as your routing:

mux.Handle("/", middlewareOne(middlewareTwo(finalHandler)))

Do not think this is funny or smart. Here if this happens he can denounce a dog and it will get picked up by the police if we do not have a good story. And this is not a good story. Be more careful I would think, what if the guy tripped and broke something even if the dog did nothing bad but wanted to play?

Haha did not know that...it's a heavens match then ;)
Pure speculation but if it is indeed more expensive, it may be to avoid the perception that they're competing with human ride-share drivers.

They all have distiguishing features that can be emulated in other languages (to a degree) but will throw off even senior developers.

Lisp has its macros.

Elm has its type system.

Go, Elixir, and JS have rather idiosyncratic concurrency models.

Rust has its borrow checker.

Perl seems to be SO special that even proficient Perl devs aren't able to write performant code in it. /s

Sure, Prolog and SQL are much more different than the rest. But I didn't want to strawman here.
This does not justify shooting random dogs in other situations, does it?
I'm not a fan of many of these new "features", but users aren't always able to formulate effective queries for their search goals.

"You searched for x, but because we think we know what you really want based on your geolocation, we will show you y and z", is more troubling for me.
yeah, what's the point of a link if it isn't accessible by the majority of readery.
Yeah, I don't really see why you're getting downvoted here. The poster let one of his dogs escape his house and left another one loose while an appliance installer who didn't know anything about the dog was there.

When I have people in my house who aren't familiar with my dogs (who are friendly), I put the dogs away and let the people know exactly which door they should not open.

If nothing else it's just very, very rude to leave your dog loose in the house when a worker comes in, unless they say it's okay. You don't know if they're allergic or scared of dogs, and they're there to do a job. Show them the respect of allowing them to do their job uninterrupted by your dog (and don't let your dogs escape your house... that's just basic stuff).
> Along these lines, if Facebook, Twitter, etc. were sincerely interested in improving online discourse, they would jettison "fact checking" and censorship for additional content that focuses on the safety of the present moment, temporal perspective, breathing, visualization, humor & timeouts.

Except those companies are in the business of emotional disregulation in the name of “engagement”.

Last thing I want is for them to have even more authority on the participants’ emotional states. When not riled up through manipulation of what they see, most people have a good sense of how to be good to each other.

The other problem is social media getting overrepresented in comparison to real world interactions in our lifetime of discourses. I want the full experience of the disagreeable other, ideally in a friend, so that we can hold the tension of disagreement with some love and beers. Textual/propositional discourse is a mere simulation of this, we’re all stranger brains in vats spitting out argumentation in a truncated form of existence. Perception of being right overcomes the actual need for being right and being held in positive regard. We’re here more to impress, and less to dialogue and cohere.
If your bar is "a few thousand people survive" then most scenarios will seem OK, but that's not really what we're generally talking about.
Launch HN: Kalam Labs (YC S21) – Science games and live game streaming for kids
Hi HN, we're Ahmad, Sashakt, and Harshit of Kalam Labs (https://www.kalamlabs.in/). Kalam Labs lets 6 to 14 year old kids learn their favourite science topics by watching live game streams and playing science games. It's like Twitch for science, except you also get to play :)

Here's a sample video of our live stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGMmUg0N0HE

High curiosity in kids is directly linked to better academic performance and better outcomes when they grow up. However, school leads to a drop in curiosity as they discourage asking questions and encourage “focussing on the blackboard.” Parents don’t have a solution, as internet resources are unstructured and unreliable and encyclopedias are static and boring for the kids.

We were batchmates at our undergraduate degrees and worked together at India's largest educational body, NCERT. There we interacted with hundreds of kids, and they were really curious about science. Their heads were filled with questions like: Why is the sky blue? What is inside a black hole? etc. But the conventional teaching mediums were just too boring for them. So we started searching what do they want?

Turns out almost every kid was on Roblox and Minecraft. There were entire communities there hanging out, hosting live streams chatting with each other. Digging deeper, we saw that Roblox and Minecraft are being extensively used as educational media. Microsoft has launched Minecraft for Education and Roblox has launched Roblox Education, and this was prompting teachers to migrate from Zoom to these multiplayer games. So we got it: we will use live game streaming to help kids learn science. We launched our MVP and saw phenomenal results. Generating $1k USD revenue in just a couple of days, we saw a market potential of scaling it and hence decided to start a startup around it.

At Kalam Labs we host daily live game streams on kids' favourite science topics like space, black holes, and dinosaurs. During the live stream, an instructor takes the kids around a virtual world where they learn new topics by playing game-based exercises. The cool parts are: unlike a typical live game-stream on Twitch/YT where only the video of instructor playing a game is shared, at Kalam Labs kids can play the game with the instructor. This helps the instructor to give short fun activities for kids to solve for explaining any topic. In addition, our Live Chat has a tag-feature, which is really loved by kids. Instead of typing the entire chat, kids can just tap on the different recommendations and convey their thoughts. This leads to very high-engagement with sometimes kids liking the tapping feature more than the game itself.

We are seeing cool metrics pop out due to this: Our average watch time of a live stream is 40 minutes - 5x higher than Youtube. Further, just launched in Mid-June our product has amassed thousands of paying customers growing 50% week-over-week.

Please share your thoughts and feedback!
Static typing and inference aside, I find that his arguments about language verbosity and character count utterly without evidence. A quick review of the startup scene will show a wide mix of programming languages, including a lot of Java.

It’s fine if that’s his preference, but the argument that the best programmers (“hackers” in his parlance) prefer what he prefers to be both self serving and contrary to actual real world evidence.
I agree, I think "we", as a society will adapt. But I also can't help being put off by the nonchalant manner of that comment, given that "adapting" will result in extreme levels of upheaval, and the resulting resource wars and societal instability.

Yes, we'll adapt, and huge swaths of humanity will die and suffer as a result.
As a French hiker I can tell you it's the same here. People think that since the dog is nice to them it will be the same with strangers.

Frankly it ruins my hikes so I go out less and less.
1- AFAIK, Espressif uses closed binary blob for WiFi so the channels could not be tampered with. Still, they need FCC regulation for their whole product in some jurisdictions.

4- I don't think any kind of crypto could be reasonably mined on these MCUs.
Isn't it kind of hard to shoot a dog, especially a dangerous one? They move around a lot faster than humans.

Maybe a lot of them are just barking and looking scary, but don't know enough to be afraid of a gun, so stand still?
Isn't it a mostly unavoidable characteristic of p2p distributed systems (when they're not introduced top down by governments) that they grow from "practically zero users" to (maybe) mass adoption?

I'd think that it's almost inherent for any currency like technology that - over the course of its adoption process - the value goes through various phases of increase. At least for currencies with deflationary supply.

There might be blockchain based cryptocurrencies out there that try to prevent early adopters from becoming excessively rich mostly out of luck, but apparently these alternatives lack the incentive to even get to wide adoption.

Yes, early adopters would become unfairly rich, were bitcoin to make it to wide adoption ... but something makes me hope that a btc wealth distribution with Gini coefficient close to 1 would be a temporary thing. A phase that the whole thing would pass through towards a less unequal distribution, where the increase in value and thus the aspect of speculation would become less relevant and the aspect of btc as a payment system or value store would become more relevant.
That SCO isn't the one that launched the suit. It was Caldera/SCO that did it and already had a business selling support for their Linux distro.
There is no such thing as a group of people who live in adjacency and share numerous social behaviors, protocols, and regular speech patterns are somehow culture-less. The contrary strikes me as the height of ambiguity. There is no sociologist or anthropologist who believes anything close to this.
This is every article that's like "How I became a millionaire by 25" or "How a new graduate paid off $100,000 in student loans in two years."

The last one I read was literally (not exaggerating) "Grandma gave me a condo as a graduation gift (!) and instead of living in it like a chump I turned it into an income stream by renting it out while mom and dad covered all my living expenses. Aren't I smart?" (Ok, the last sentence was an exaggeration)

Implied but unstated is "you can do it too, just make better decisions."
If the "correct politically aligned group" tells them about it.

If it's the "incorrect" group, it will be ignored.
That's a stupid rule. I'm glad for the warning, because now I know not to click it. Formatting is one thing, and I and see why griping about that is boring. "Caution Dark Patterns Ahead" is a useful warning.
Yup, after my own initial research I found it as well, and I like it a lot. I talk more about it here: https://death.andgravity.com/own-query-builder#sqlbuilder-py...
The two party system is a result of the "major minor" party laws in each State. The ballot access laws effectively force a two party system by squeezing competing parties financially and with administrative filing duties.
I wasn't behind CGNAT. Had a dedicated public ipv4 ip. I was just using google a lot, sometimes.
The minimum size of the cache doesn't have to be bad.

And I bet the vast majority of people basically never do >10GB writes at >200MB/s.
“The Japanese Building Code (BSLJ) explicitly requires that buildings withstand moderate earthquakes with almost no damage, while collapse prevention and life-safety is required for severe earthquakes. It is expected that a typical building will be subjected to several moderate earthquakes during their service life, while the likelihood of occurrence of a severe earthquake during the same period is rare.”

(Comparison of the Seismic Code Provisions of the National Building Code of Canada and the Building Standard Law of Japan, https://www.caee.ca/12CCEEpdf/192-oZfU-119.pdf)

A similar approach is used in California and other places under the name Performance-Based Design.
didn't see this previously when it's been posted 3-4 times every year for a decade.

You know you can enjoy the video (as we all do) without upvoting it.
>most of Chinese people working at Airbus went to Comac 1000 km away to build an A320 clone. This isn't simply a case of people "freely switching jobs".

State directed espionage doesn't get hundreds/thousands of engineers to switch allegiances. Money does. Then the knowledge travels with them. Personal knowledge that Airbus like many Euro companies in China treated their local employees like shit.

Another example was ZTE/Huawei managed to poach Nortel and other Euro telcom empoyees in China was because mainland employees had very little advancement opportunities. This included foreign nationals like Canadians with PRC Chinese background. An aquaintence of Chinese Canadian background poached most of Nortel GuangZhou's engineering team because state companies simply compensated better and provided more opportunities. A few years later, he poached a bunch of engineers from state company back to a foreign one who promoted. That's the incentives driving these mass migrations. Many PRC talent would rather stay working with foreign multinations due to prestige and better conditions (nice offices etc), especially in the late 90s, but at the end of the day, there was a bamboo ceiling and they generally weren't respected. Of course state will continue to espionage, but don't estimate role of Western companies being racist biting self in the ass that drove mainland talent to work for domestic companies.
In the USA the construction trade is all done using imperial measurements. If you go into any big box hardware store, the only thing you can find in metric is a few specialty bolts.
I have no agency to back my claims but yeah, I would also like to advise against using deeply personal stuff to determine anyone's effective social score.

Oh, you eat too much, or the wrong things.
Oh, but smoke, drink.
Oh, you're exercising enough.
Oh, you're exercising too much.
Oh, you're just exercising the right amount.

I've not even touched the browsing history yet. Surely the end goal here is not simply exploiting big data they have on everyone. Outrageous as that may be, that would also mean the very final end of any pretence of privacy online. Everything finally tied to our legal real personas. Ugh...
Did banning the app magically stop ISIS and end terrorism?

The terrorists will circumvent this and use some other app while law-abiding people continue to have their human rights infringed on by censorship and deplatforming.
Could just be buying more time to find a better endgame.
Hard disagree. First, you downplay "unauthorized information access". Foreign adversaries have targeted our industrial SCADA systems, which can lead to death and destruction.

Second, there's no moral absolutes that dictate how a nation should act. I value the lives and information of my family and friends more than I value the lives of someone attacking them. Don't like it, don't attack... :shrug:
Not really warriors. Bullies.
I accidentally got into a debate with a moon landing conspiracy theorist about this once. Their claim was that both space agencies were tacitly colluding to sponge budgets off of their respective governments. I dug into this further and after a couple of rounds of back-and-forth the answers they presented effectively required the entire Soviet political and ideological system to be a sham. I pointed this out and commented that, if true, this would be a conspiracy theory that makes a bit of NASA trickery pale to insignificance in comparison, and never heard from them again. I’d like to think they changed their mind, but I don’t think it's likely.

My (uncharitable) explanation is that it gives a comforting sense of control and understanding of the world to be part of an in-group that has simple explanations for every outsider’s (potentially complicated and technical) objections.
I hear you, but do you want the job? I always hear that “society should select this and that” for police and military jobs, but the people saying these things that society should do would almost never volunteer. So it feels like a hollow solution.

That said, the training could be much better than it is. But people like low taxes.
How do you drive piles once the building is completed? Do you go to the basement (probably a parking garage), open up space with the floor above it, and drive short segments that are welded together? I thing one of the earlier plans was to do this all outside the building on the perimeter, but if that's not enough, it sounds really complicated.
You can imagine why they floated that idea but the site is surrounded by other buildings which survived intact, including a 100-year-old unreinforced brick building.
I don't want to diminish the importance of climate change, but I'm pretty sure that in the next 8 decades population growth is going to present a massively bigger challenge to the logistics of food production than a ~1 degree C change in average temperatures. We're currently a tad shy of 7.8 billion human beings on the planet and UN projections[1] for the year 2100 range as high as nearly 16 billion with a median of about 11 billion.

Just curious, why not use OTP's built-in httpc? https://erlang.org/doc/man/httpc.html
IIRC, the SCO that made SCO Unix was purchased by another company which renamed itself SCO and started filing lawsuits; the company you recall fondly is not actually the company that we are here to discuss.
The amount of intellectual curiosity on a site called Hacker News always feels lower than it should be.
They presumably mostly care about running a proof of concept at limited scale in as safe and boring an environment as they can without making it totally artificial. They also presumably don't really care about it being a generally useful taxi service as long as they can get some riders, which they seem to be doing.
Seems it would do better to "assassinate" nuclear installations (research facilities, reactors, i.e., places where weapons-grade material is accumulated/stored). This would remove undesirable nuclear infrastructure and, if done with tactical nuclear weapons, raise doubts in several entities about the wisdom of pursuing such research.

It's one thing to learn of one's acquaintance being assassinated and quite another to find that, while you were on holiday, your company has had a nuclear accident and neither it nor the half-mile hole around it can be entered for another year, all the people are gone and your paycheck will likely be delayed for months at the very least.
I don't think that major Ukrainian cities of let's say post-Stalin era were in worse shape then comparable Russian cities of the same time. You had more 'deficit' goods in Moscow sure, I don't know if Kyiv was lacking anything else to be honest.

Rural/urban gap was very real though but with each decade more and more people were able to live in the cities due to extensive housing program.

Around 1990-1991 there was a popular sentiment in Ukraine that we are feeding the whole Union etc, something similar was in Russia (that they subsidize other republics), the reality was a bit of a mixed bag
Exactly. We are all the resulting mutts of hundreds of thousands of years of breeding. “Race” is just the result of where your ancestors most recently lived.
So if Visa and Mastercard refuse service to your legal business because they don't like you, what options do you have?
I don't see anything wrong with it. That refrigerator will be a real constraint on the width of the power wires of any place it's installed on. And adding the current of your devices is exactly what you need to do to size your power lines.

It being on IEEE, I can't imagine anybody on their target audience will be confused and imagine they are talking about power.
Think of it like this:

I am in injecting a function that returns a `User` type. That is the interface. I, the function accepting the injected function, don't care how it gets that `User` (that's the implementation). I just care that I am getting a `User`.

Now, knowing that, I can inject any number of function implementations that implement that interface. As long as a `User` gets returned it does not matter how the sausage gets made so to speak.
A vicious dog won't immediately attack. They'll make a stand barking and growling. If they're impeding your progress that's when you shoot.
WebRTC has been having these problems for at least 6 years straight. At what point can we call this a deliberate back door?
