Ask HN: Recommendations on Android outsourcing company?
We're dealing with the challenge of managing iOS, Android, WindowsPhone for an app we have. And we're thinking of expanding to the web. It's a handful managing all the people.

PG wrote today (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4332278), "To most startups we fund, iOS is way more important. Nearly all build for iOS first and then maybe one day port to Android. There are a few exceptions like Kyte (http://kytephone.com) who use Android to do things you can't do on iOS. And of course Apportable (http://apportable.com) has been very successful auto-porting iOS apps to Android."

It got me thinking of maybe focusing our team just on iOS, and then porting our app to Android via an outsourcing company.

I'm wondering if there's a good Android outsourcing company that HN companies prefer. Or if anybody else has any suggestions?

>In other words, even though I agree that some developers are so highly skilled that they are essentially invaluable, if you walked into a company with an agent they'd simply put your resume aside and find someone else.

I don't think we are talking about W2, full time lifetime employment here. (If we are, I agree with you)

If we are talking about short-run gigs, it is completely normal for consulting houses (body shops, whatever you want to call them.) to have salespeople. Hell, I've played this roll myself. I mean, I was not very good at it, and at this time, I don't really want to reprise that role, but I could. Setting yourself up as an employer isn't hard. Getting on prefered vendor lists can be, but you can work for smaller companies without doing that part.

The problem is that usually? in that role the sales person is seen as being more powerful than the worker. And in the employers eyes, this is required. That's not the problem; the problem is that everyone that does this acts like they in fact have more power than the programmer.

(Oh yeah, the role here? the body shop. I've worked for body shops that had one guy, a salesguy, essentially, and then a bunch of contract workers like me. I remember this one guy; best body shop I worked for- he always paid on time. But he didn't keep anyone on staff. When one of his customers wanted a body, he'd put an email out to his contacts, or failing that, an ad on craigslist.)

so how do you restructure this relationship so that the programmer has more power? I dono. Difficult, as by definition, the salesguy is a better negotiatior.

How to last longer in bed
Duly noted. Added it to the front page and pushed it live just now. Sorry about the miscommunication there -- we're going to put up better copy along with "What is this?", "FAQ", etc. pages (that don't require you to login to view) soon.
The craziest part, IMO, is that I had to make a decision whether or not to take on $175,000 in debt (I went to RIT, it costs $44,000 per year) when I was 18 years old and had never handled more than $300. Sure! Sign me up! I couldn't even imagine what that much money would look like, let alone feel like to pay back- at that time, it was as equally mysterious as $10,000 or $1,000,000.

Luckily, I left after my 2nd year and only walked away with $50k in student loans. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
This seems to be an emotional, tribal issue for designers, particularly for designers who used to occupy the lower rungs of the value chain for corporate design work and who passionately believe that a teenager with Photoshop would necessarily produce a deliverable of lower quality than theirs but can't quite articulate why.

In many other fields of professional work -- which laugh in the general direction of $200 per project -- spec work is an unremarkable part of the customer acquisition dance. I need an accountant who understands how to legally minimize tax burdens of an IP based business with service components with activities split across Japan, the US, and the EU. I was interviewing two accountants to decide who I would use. Both of them a) reviewed 3 years of tax returns, b) spoke to me for several hours, and c) broke out the books and looked at tax treaties. That is exactly indistinguishable from what the winner will eventually charge me for. But that time isn't billable. Cost of doing business.

Similarly, many of my consulting engagements get sold on the basis of me going to a client's office, getting introduced to their CEO, lead tech guy, and head of marketing, and then talking for between 1 and 6 hours regarding plots I've hatched in advance, while everyone in the room takes notes. If there were already a contract in place, a) that presentation would be a deliverable and b) that meeting would be billable, along with the rest of the week. At the end of the meeting, sometimes the CEO says "Great stuff. Let's think about it and circle back on this later.", which occasionally turns into a firm "No." three months later. This is, to plagiarize Thomas, life in the big leagues.

Ways of compensating for this: a) Charge. More. , b) Minimum projects of sufficiently large size such that customer acquisition is just a cost of doing business., and c) if you can't reliably explain to clients why you're better than a teenager at 1/20th the price either you're looking for the wrong clients or you're in the wrong business.
Shows FB info and email address, etc? I think this could only better if it included audio that let other customer's know the user's sexual preference, medical history, etc, etc. I think Richard Stallman is going to love this. :)

However, WebKit, a library that sits on top of WebCore initially by Apple, and where a lot of the "little touches" (such as multitouch JavaScript events) goes, is under modified BSD, and Apple often does not release code for it back to the community; hell: even for WebCore they sometimes play games distributing binary object files for parts they want to redact.

Dear Facebook, It Could Really Be This Simple
Rural California government agencies don't... I know that from experience.

I mean, outside of the computer industry, you may very well be correct, I don't know. But for SysAdmins, at least? even in government, a degree is demonstrably not required if you have the requisite experience and knowledge.

Hell, 30 years ago when my dad got a computer operator job at the university of california, such things weren't required. I mean, he ended up getting a degree, and it no doubt helped make the jump from SysAdmin to IT manager, but it wasn't required for the SysAdmin position.

Daily dose of class warfare on HN.
"I was interviewing two accountants to decide who I would use."

And this is what makes it a bad analogy to spec work. Spec work is when you say "You 10 people make me a logo, and I'll pay whoever makes the one I like best." Did you get two accountants to do your taxes and then pay the person who served you best? No, you spoke to them first, interviewing them, having them explain why they're best for the job and how they handled certain other situations. This is how it's supposed to happen in the design world too.

You need a logo designed? OK, let's talk about how I can make that happen and what results I've had in the past and how I can serve you best. That's how a mature and respectable industry does business.

I don't bother with TV news but I did have a positive reaction to your site. I like how there's no screwing around - straight away it's giving you something to watch and easy buttons to skip ahead if you're not interested. Would be great if there were quick options to thumbs up/down a video to get more or less of that type of news (politics vs world vs sport, etc) or ignore a particular provider that has long, boring brand intros.

I'm sure it'd also be trivial to introduce skippable ads that were tailored and of interest (in an ideal world...) to viewers.
It kills the "pixelness" of it, yes. Personally I do like them though. Those algorithms do create interesting looking graphics. Last year, me and my girlfriend decided to play some classic Mario again, and since we didn't have any old Nintendos nearby we used SNES9X which uses, I think, hqx. It's different but quite neat.

For making a dedicated pixel art game they're unusable though.
When I worked in the industry we saw a few people try user-user chat. It always ended up with users sending threatening/harassing messages to each other, the service provider needing to hire moderators, and then realising that paying someone to be the other end of the chat is just as easy as paying someone to moderate and more effective.

So I guess what I'm saying is I hope you've figured something out to deal with those kind of users.

1) Readily available angel financing makes it hard to rise above the noise of similar startups and results in fratricide.

2) The only way to escape the pack of other startups becomes to raise more money than one's competitors in order to outspend them on marketing, PR, hiring, product, etc. It's hard to be capital efficient when there's a winner-take-most competition, given the network effects.

3) Obviously, selling to small restaurants and retailers is a difficult, expensive proposition. Easier than it was a decide ago, no question. But still a costly slog. Most startups (and there aren't many) that have managed to acquire a large number of them as customers have spent a LOT of time and/or money doing it.

EDIT: The list above is in addition to the ones mentioned below.

I definitely think so. Better public perception will affect employee morale and retention, user retention and engagement and overall growth of the company.

When you think about Facebook right now all you think of is the IPO, Nasdaq problems, investment banks, millionaires, advertising, mobile monetization etc.

You aren't think of the profound impact that Facebook has had and will have on the world. I know I personally have had distant family members contact me through Facebook that I never would have met otherwise. So I am sure there are some amazing stories to tell.

I would be curious to know the costs and implications for adopting an Australian solution.

Here in Australia everyone can go to college and what happens is that the tax office keeps track of the money you owe and then as you start earning money they pay the loan back through a tax increase. You also get a discount if you have the loan back quicker. It's all seamless and you can also add books/computer to the loan as well.
That's interesting but definitely not a global use case. Most apps will require some sort of bug fixes and security updates. Even the linux kernel requires security updates and I do think that's some tight code right there =)

Not every app can be compiled-cached-served. I think 99% of them can't go that route.. Would love to see how you can run relatively dynamic code/functionality by the method you're suggesting.
Any sources for that software stack part? Only information I managed to find was that AMD was contracted to create Xenos core, but there was no mentions who made software (I would assume AMD) and especially no information about licensing.
It's not that simple. There's a few standards such as the beliefs being "sincerely held" and that accommodation should not render an "unreasonable burden" on the employer. You can say these are subjective but welcome the legal system. No judge is going to let a non-Abrahamic sham religion impose strange conundrums for the employer.

People have played games with this before. Some prostitutes have tried to make their business a religion and that sex with them is a "rite" of the practice. Others have tried to make their mansions be referred to as religious buildings to avoid paying property taxes, hasn't worked.

So what are you going to do if a big brand (I won't mention any names but think of the biggest brands in the world) come knocking on your door and request your company's presence in a pitch with two other agency's? You'll f*cking be there man. And you'll give it all you've got.

These companies know they can do it. They're so big and they'll bring a ton work if you win the pitch. Just one of their projects can be over 300 hours if you win. Even if you don't win, they'll know what you're capable off and you're on their radar. I've seen this happen a lot of times. Not winning the pitch, but still becoming a preferred supplier for other types of work.

Spec is here and it's not likely to go away unless you're a rockstar-designer. Even a lot of existing clients pitch their new design-jobs now. Optimize for it. Make sure you can debrief, brainstorm and create "rough-but-good-enough" concepts and designs as fast as you can. Just don't forget your existing clients. (They are the ones who are really paying for the pitches).
I think the point is that they're physically different products (McDonald's chips and Fish&Chip shop chips).

Indentured servitude (defined by the UN to be slavery) is nothing like taking on debt to go to college.

Two components of indentured servitude is that they do not permit you to leave your work until you have paid the debt, and secondly that they charge you so that you can never escape your debt. A final onerous part of real indentured servitude is that debt can be passed to your children, and many generations can be born into slavery and never leave it. [Source: Disposable People]
