Actually saw someone trying to disrupt this on Dragon's Den.

It's a notoriously competitive space (nearly anyone can do the job) and labour intensive, so it's hard to work out a model where you can get a cut and still employ the workers. There are also liability issues; you are sending people to work inside other people's homes.

That said, unless you are out in some village somewhere, it's very likely you can find someone locally for that rate.
That's a good question. Firstly, Metacritic focuses its score/reviews of critics and not really the public. Hypejar on the other hand, focuses on the level anticipation of the general public before a product releases.

Secondly, Hypejar focuses only on products before they release whereas Metacritic does both pre and post release of products.

Hypejar also offers notification system for upcoming releases and features such as the Browse and the Calendar.

So to answer your question, it's not really to "switch over" users, but to rather offer something vastly different.

SEEKING FREELANCER

I need some Node.js (and possibly C or C++) work done from someone who really understands a JPEG's internal structure.

Haven't gotten any great applicants yet. Here's the description from oDesk, but we don't have to work through that if you prefer not to.

Reminds me heavily of our Vice-President Alvaro Garcia Linera (Bolivia) going on record saying:

"I'm reading every negative post on Facebook that speaks ill of the government and writing down names. Names are being written down."

What horseshit! Scary thought; North Americans seem to take their free-speech for granted, as an inalienable right when in fact many countries in the world don't have such a thing. Enjoy it while you can.
I really get that sentiment—there are an awful lot of ways to be penny wise and pound foolish in this world. You can go through a lot of $150/pr "dress shoes" before you even need to resole a good pair, for instance, and if you need to be dressed up (for work or even for frequent meetings) you can go broke saving money. And trying to save money on your tools (and for a full-time coder, even a chair is a tool) is going to cost you in productivity over the long haul.

On the other hand, I've found that there's nothing better for my back (or my sleep in general) than a properly-inflated air bed (and I had severe back problems for years). (It started as an interim solution when I beat my furniture to a working location by nearly a week.) That works out to about $30 per annum around these parts, and although there are "real" versions with long-term guarantees and fancy fabric coverings (a standard mattress pad gives the same feel) the price differential isn't an incentive to give up the "replace annually" variety.
I was going to post this!

TL;DR the link: Coins are only legal tender up to a certain amount. For example 21p in 1p's is not classed as legal tender.

(Is it only me who can only say "legal tender" in a scottish accent > "I think you'll find that's...")
The FAA will never allow police departments to fly these things without air traffic transponders like ADS-B. Saying that the police will disconnect or disable them is a red herring.

Again, how is a drone functionally different for law enforcement purposes to a helicopter with a surveillance turret? All the points you've made apply just as much to the latter platform as to the former.
Agreed. I found myself doing that too :)

Actually, as an '06 U of C grad, I was a little bit shocked at how poorly the majority of the first years wrote. I say this without praising my own writing abilities as necessarily better. If the students represent some of the best in the country (they probably do), it doesn't say anything positive about writing eduction in the country.

Ask HN: need advice on H/W choice for prototyping system
The overall prototype will likely require a mix of software, hardware (device and sensors), and brick and mortar.

Device: some sort of tablet. iPad and iOS are viable for high end consumers but to start off it is necessary to keep to a budget so bootstrapping the prototype phase is economically possible. So it seems Android is the way to go. I am open to assembling a device from parts e.g. cpu etc. board, LCD, etc.

Sensors: I suppose RFID is the way to go. The sensors would be located in spaces, e.g. a room. Individuals would carry corresponding bracelet, widget, whatever. Ideally the sensors should be battery powered so as to minimize the prototype infrastructure e.g. wiring, etc.

The goal of prototype is functional demonstration, so an initial plain (and possibly not so pretty) device is OK, but of course would be great if you can also recommend casing solutions.

I would appreciate any feedback and leads on resources such as vendors, etc.

Thank you, HN!

"It's not red vs. blue, it's purple vs. you"
There's a gym like what you described near my house. You have a membership card you swipe to get in, and also swipe on a machine when you begin to use it. When you start out, you're given a health assessment and some exercises to determine your base level, then screens on the machines tell you what to do for your fitness goal. You get personal notes from your trainer. The machines tell you how many reps/how long to work, as well as pacing. Go too fast, and it yells at you. It tracks your progress on their machines, showing your progress to keep you motivated.

While I don't go to that gym anymore (it's expensive, more than double $50/mo), it really was a great service for what is an otherwise average experience (going to the gym).
Right now: something that materially saves me at least 10 hours per month, whether business or personal.

Soon: something that materially saves me at least 5 hours per month.

Ideally: something that materially saves me at least 2 hours per month.

This reflects how I currently value my time (I'm bootstrapping a finance data service) and how I see that time value appreciating in the coming months

Edit: I realise this isn't particularly helpful, just seems relevant and it's been on my mind :o)
New York, Fulltime, Spreecast Mobile Engineer

We are bringing Spreecast, a live video platform, to mobile and are growing a team of engineers in New York City. We’re looking for generalist engineers to join our mobile team.

We work primarily in iOS and Android and we use a variety of custom video components. We really like full stack engineers and encourage people to learn new skill sets – our best engineers are comfortable with modifying code on our Wowza, FMS, Ruby on Rails, and Java servers. You can try our website at www.spreecast.com to see the experience we are bringing to mobile apps.

We’re most interested in excellent engineers, regardless of which current language/toolset you’re currently using. We believe that excellent engineers can quickly accomplish great things in a language that they don’t already know. So if you’re a longtime C++ engineer that wants to get involved with mobile development, be sure to contact us. Engineers with experience in Android and iOS should definitely apply.

Fun Stuff

Choose your own engineering setup. For instance I’m writing this on a Retina Macbook Pro with two external monitors and 16GB (!?!) of RAM.

We’re expanding our office in NYC to include a full time studio for celebrities to use to create Spreecasts.

Our headquarters are in San Francisco so you’ll get to take trips to the Bay Area.

About Us

We are well funded, have been in beta for 9 months, and have offices in NYC and San Francisco. One of our cofounders, Jeff Fluhr, previously started StubHub and sold it to eBay.

Please contact robert@spreecast.com

This is my service of choice. People assume it's getting free stuff, when in fact it's far more expensive than Netflix. But the choice is way better. I can watch nearly anything, in a variety of formats (SD, 720p, 1080p, DD5.1)

If a service existed that was as good, I'd pay more than $50 monthly. I pay more than that for my terrible cable packages.

An article from the Economist [1] covers some of the latter idea:

A leader in this field is Cardlytics, a private American company founded in 2008. It has developed technology to analyse transaction data held by banks and to use this information to sell targeted advertisements to retailers and others. A supermarket might, for example, be interested in customers who spend $100 or more a month at rival grocers but who have not entered its own stores for six months. It might then offer these people a 20% discount on their next shopping trip at its stores.

Cardlytics would insert an advertisement to this effect into these customers’ online-bank statements, ideally under a relevant transaction such as a payment to a rival retailer. Customers can accept the discount online by clicking a box. This connects the discount coupon to their debit card, so that the discount is automatically rebated to their account when they meet the conditions (by, for instance, shopping at the store within a certain period of time).

Very impressive design / interface. The summaries help me decide which articles to read in full, as opposed to being abridged versions of the full stories. Still useful, but not a substitute for my Times Digest (http://www.timesdigest.com/).
Personally, I would not do it without some other form of agreement, either equity or an agreement that future work will come to me and that the rate will slowly rise to your preferred rate. This also really depends on the start-up and how comfortable you are with them. I have seen many small businesses abuse the "we are small, can you help us out" card, so you really have to get a gut feel for if they are on the up and up or will they expect that lowered rate for the entirety of your relationship and them move on once you will not provide it. Equity is obviously the most secure way for you to allow them to defer cost will still ensuring your compensation, other than that, you really have to ask yourself if they are truly just cash strapped.

ATT Launches Locker
I agree very much on this. There are some precision tasks that I do, such as audio waveform editing, circuit boards, photoshop image masking and so on that can't be done efficiently without a pointing device, or a surrogate. When using the MBP I use an MX performance mouse with the MBP to get some control over some of these processes. The trackpad, while useful for some tasks, simply isn't accurate enough.

I do hear many comments claiming that touchscreens can supersede mice, and even keyboards, but I don't think this is right at all. The form factor of a mouse can be made to very closely align ergonomically with the time proven accuracy of the artisans dexterous hand. Angular displacement at the wrist traverses a relatively larger sweeping arc than with a track pad, effectively increasing resolution at something like the square of the distance. Wacom styluses are also precision devices, and yet I would still suggest that they aren't as conformant with watch maker like skills as the ordinary extended hand.

Compared with high resolution devices, big finger tips and small area track pads are clumsy and add difficulty. I wouldn't want to design fine watch mechanisms with either.

It's essentially an issue of resolution over area. I can reduce the resolution of a trackpad to attain some accuracy, but in doing so reduce the effective area.

In respect of how to have both accuracy and the simplicity of touch, I'm inclined to think that making a gesture and moving the hand backwards through the z plane to regain resolution space would be one approach. We already have protected virtual keyboards. I would be happy with moving into a projected motion detection area to regain accuracy. Until then, I have no option but to use a high resolution location device, like a mouse.

Get a housecleaner.

I'm serious. If you live in California, there are lots of women who will come and clean your house for something like $10/hour. They would be glad to do your laundry for you as part of that service. In the time that you describe, one could go to the laundromat, wash your clothing, come back, fold and iron it.

Of course if you dislike the idea of illegal immigration, or the idea of taking advantage of its reality, don't do this. It will also make you ineligible for higher political office.

AMA Capital trades billions of dollars per day in the currency markets.

We are all engineers, and we design and implement our own trading strategies and infrastructure, down to the networking code that ties us in to financial markets.

We are a very small team (I am currently the only employee). We will add one or two engineers to our team in the coming months and are looking for people who will focus on strategy or on infrastructure.

No experience or specific knowledge of finance is required. However, you do need to be at least interested in financial markets and to be able to implement your strategies carefully in C++.

This is an easy one. A big part of freelancing is saying "no." This is a good opportunity to exercise that skill.

Freelancing is a partnership. Much more so than so many other client - provider relationships (getting your oil changed for example.) In many cases, a bad client can put a serious hurt on my earnings and I could put a serious hurt on the client as well. There is a lot of trust there, and each party needs to be highly professional. This isn't a lemonade stand.

If someone approaches me asking me to do something for far lower than my normal rate, then their ability to be a good partner takes a serious hit from my view. It's not about the money, it's the fact that they could make the offer comes off as them being clueless. Not good for a partnership.
