Yes! There is also Shipwire (http://shipwire.com) that has done very well recently. I do think that it is possible the brands will cobble together a solution using Amazon/Shipwire and 3rd party tech, but a better opportunity seems to be providing full service e-commerce for brands. However, given that the shipping layer is the hardest part I would think hard about what that meant for such a business if I did not control that layer.

The headline I submitted it was 'NASA discovers polypropolene on Saturn's moon Cassini, to scientists' surprise'. I too found the original title uninformative, but chose the JPL website as it was the closest thing to an original source. I am tired of HN mods modifying headlines to make them less informative. Having said that I was tired and wrote Cassini in the title instead of Titan :-/

SEEKING WORK - iOS Development - Remote

I'm an iOS engineer with 8+ years of graphic design experience as well - so I can make the full package, from UI design to implementation and production release. I also do some backend work such as writing RoR APIs for mobile apps, but less frontend web development - though I do have slight experience doing that.

I charge $100/hr for app development, though this can go up depending on the scope of responsibilities. For instance, graphically designing the app and writing the Web APIs necessary for the app to function would cost more.

I'd love to talk more about how I can help you publish the app you want, in the quality you want, and on a time scale that is actually feasible.

So, it takes me approximately one minute to walk to the bathroom per day. I probably average four trips, so that's four minutes.

But if I just peed in a jug at my desk, I could save four minutes per day, or about one whole day every year!

For most people, saving three minutes a day is negligible. I know I'd get far more utility turning on noprocrast then I would trying to optimize for those three minutes.

They'd move to disposable items which would be much cheaper.

But, even then, people want to reuse items. (http://www.crd.york.ac.uk/crdweb/ShowRecord.asp?LinkFrom=OAI...)

"Imagine taking a bunch of smart people and turning them into middle school teachers."

An interesting analogy might be .mil drill instructors and other .mil instructors. They have a very high opinion of the value of self discipline, even for future REMFs like I was. I did a lot of OJT when I was in .mil many years ago, on both sides, and decades later all I can really analyze it to at this moment is "its complicated" not just easy or difficult. What little I can get out of it, is the average motivated dude can pretty successfully teach the average motivated dude pretty well.

There is also the business model issue where you profitably churn out three times as many kindergarten teachers as the market can adsorb. Very optimistically you'd end up with a perfect top third being hired, and the rest being my baby sitter or waitress (true story). This survivorship bias naturally leads to peculiar ideas like only the top fraction of people have what it takes to be able to teach; not so, it means the market and culture produce waaaay too many teachers...

Why are there only 3 points in each graph when there are five items in JSONdata? I can't figure it out.

Also:

When you show the JSONdata object on the page, you've switched your </code> and </pre> closing tags.

By reading through the code examples, it seems like you don't add the circles' click handler and cursor style until the Outside the current (domain) section, when it's really been there since the first example. That's a little confusing.
To be fair, that's about right for the UK market. Mid-range developer posts across the nation pay 30k, possibly a little higher in London.

Ok, but as you pointed out, #1 is just as bad as using any other single provider (which isn't implied or suggested anywhere here). I disagree with #2. The results are pretty nice, and they're accessible through Google Docs, which is great for sharing with co-workers who aren't in IT.

For what it's worth, Google Docs isn't our only monitoring system. We use Munin as our primary monitoring tool, but this is a nice addition to that.

>Road signs commonly ask you to use both lanes up to the point of the bottleneck. That’s reasonable advice, but it’s not going to get anyone home faster.

If you simply kept reading:

>This is good because it is less likely to affect other traffic by spilling out onto onramps and surface roads. Also maybe there’s someone on the highway who’s planning to exit 3 miles before the bottleneck. If the backup is 2 miles instead of 4 miles, that person doesn’t have to wait in traffic.

From what I understand writing a story to be read is not the same comparison to writing a story for information sharing via the internet. It's all about your audience. The audience who picks up a book wants to sit and read. Sometimes at length.

Drone Deploy - Soma, San Francisco

Hey HN

We're DroneDeploy, an AngelPad company that is making it easy for enterprises to get stuff done with drones.

Drone technology is fast, cheap and on the cusp of revolutionising industries. They just need better software. We’re building a drone command platform that makes operating swarms of them, simple, safe and reliable. We're pushing existing technologies to the limit and developing our own:

We are looking for awesome engineers who have experienced in some proper subset of:

* Python (Flask)
* Javascript (AngularJS)
* MongoDB
* HTML5/CSS3
* Drones/Robotics/Protocols/APIs

We offer fun technical challenges, a fast moving working environment, 20% time spent flying drones at our private drone airfield, and all the normal benefits.

Contact us: nick@dronedeploy.com (interns and H1-B candidates welcome)
jinushaun: We agree. Sort of our company mantra is "we have a passion for saying no" which means, to us at least, that we think we have the ability to say no to new features that do not fit who we think our target is. Time will tell if we're able to do it.

That being said, all software and services as they age begin to suffer from scope creep and feature bloat. Then it will be time again for something new.
ZenPayroll -- www.zenpayroll.com

We are hiring exceptional engineers looking to solve high-impact problems

ABOUT US:

+ We're building the future of payroll. If you love solving foundational problems that affect millions of people, we'd love to talk with you. You’ll be an early member of the team and get a significant equity stake.

+ We raised a $6.1M seed round last year and are funded by the CEOs of Yelp, Dropbox, Yammer, Box, Parse, and others, as well as Google Ventures, Salesforce and Y-Combinator. Full list at www.zenpayroll.com/investors.

+ Our founders are second time entrepreneurs from Stanford who have had two prior exits. We’re in this for the long haul and are committed to building ZenPayroll into a truly significant company that we’re proud of.

+ Payroll is complex and there are tough engineering challenges to be tackled. We move tens of millions of dollars every month. Payroll is business critical and must always be accurate. Business owners and their employees depend on us to receive their pay. We strive for 100% test coverage, and every commit is code reviewed by another developer on the team. We all hold each other to rigorous standards and we’ve become better developers because of it.

THINGS WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

+ Experience with Rails | Backbone.js | CoffeeScript | MySQL is a plus but not a pre-requisite.

+ Interest in using a test driven and code review development process.

+ Interest in building user-facing features and core-backend functionality, as well as being an active part of the design process.

+ Desire to understand the customer perspective. All members of our team are builders and it's important everyone understands the pain point we're solving.

PERKS:

+ You'll be a core member of our team as we grow the company. As a result, you'll receive a competitive salary + significant equity stake.

+ Housing stipend if you live near the office, three meals a day, company retreats, gym/sports club stipend, dream work set-up, and more -- including copious espressos brewed by one of our co-founders. People are the foundation of our company and we make sure they know they're valued. Full list of perks at www.zenpayroll.com/careers

Above all, we're looking for individuals who are yearning to do the best work of their lives. You'll be amply rewarded for the work you do.

To apply, send a note to jobs [at] zenpayroll [dot] com and include your LinkedIn, GitHub, and/or any project pages.

We’re located in SoMa, San Francisco, CA and you must be local or willing to relocate (we'll cover the cost).

>Lots of UX features are only really available when you go the native route, i.e the new "picture in picture" feature in the Android Youtube app.

Could you think of a less worthless feature to demonstrate with though? The YouTube app is getting so bad (certainly on iOS, I assume with Android too) that it's getting where the website will have a better UX than the native app shortly.
Had the same experience - spent time understanding the role, researching, and reached out. Not even an acknowledgement.
All the time. We do continuous deployment.

The secret is in the tests. Every time you break the site you add a new test to make sure it never happens again. As long as you run the tests on parallel you can add virtually unlimited number of tests.
For this sort of service an "About" or a "Company" section is a must. Few people will want to "install the server agent" with an always-on link to the mothership by some unknown publisher.

In fact, if I look at the page request log, I see several static resources being pulled down from yandex.ru. Needless to say this raises the question of company origins and whether their ignorance/negligence with sharing visitors stats may be indicative of how they handle the actual server health data. Then add in the lack of any sort of About section and it kind of starts to look odd.

(edit) I was going to say "just link to the Errplane site at the bottom", but then errplane.com has the exact same problem - no company info.
Hey Tucaz. Is this problem persistent for you? Does it happen even after refresh?

If so, dont hesitate to contact me personally at gabriel (at) scribd.com and I will look into this issue.
Rentlytics, San Francisco, CA (or anywhere else) http://rentlytics.com
FULLTIME - Software Engineers

Apartment Investors are overwhelmed and unable to make effective decisions using the data generated by their apartments every day. The status quo is full of siloed data that can only be accessed via outdated web applications which allow their users to download disjointed Excel reports. Rentlytics changes all of this by bringing their data into one place, enabling the asset management team to make better decisions with our analysis tools.

Today, our software provides trend analysis tools to let users discover previously unseen spikes in their utilities, apartment refinishing costs, marketing spend, or any of the 250 other data points we track for each apartment. We need you to come help us build tools that help our users perform complex analysis with the click of a button.

My co-founder Justin was a partner at a private equity firm that invested into apartments across the USA. It is from his frustrations there that our product was born. I built a few large social media analytics tools, mobile games, and a number of analytics tools for other industries. Our engineering team is 3 people right now, we would like to add 2 more people by January 2014.

We use Python/Django for our backend, and Coffeescript with Backbone/Marionette for the frontend application. Experience using these would be great, but is not required.

If you're interested in changing an industry, then we should chat: phil@rentlytics.com
I don't think even the Freakonomics followup is valid because there's a huge difference between telling someone to run some searches and actual search engine use.

Here's what I might type if someone asked me to try their search engine: "Miley Cyrus". The funny thing is that I'm not sure if I would like Google's "Miley Cyrus" results better than Bing's. I'm not sure I could tell the difference.

Here's the kind of stuff I actually need to work well during my normal day: "xcode 5 warning signature expiration does not match provisioning profile"

The second one isn't a real XCode warning, and that's kind of my point. I can't generate compiler warnings from my head to test Bing. I have to see them on my screen first spontaneously. This means if I'm running a Bing challenge I can't possibly simulate the real world unless I'm given my own machine and a few hours at my leisure to run into these types of things.

It's evolved sufficiently here in California that I believe Californian drivers now prefer to pass on the right rather than the left, given a choice.

If you're going to take that approach you also need to factor in the time to disinfect the thing and the extra minutes you spend huddled over the toilet if it triggers your gag reflex (which it might well do, since it covers your tongue).

I think the idea is to give it a treatment analgous to how statistical mechanics works for properties of gas, for example. True, we can't easily say what individual atoms/molecules might do, but we can say something about the gas as an ensemble.

It's true that free will may make drivers tougher to predict than individual molecules. But molecules obey quantum mechanics and one could conceivibly construct probability distributions for how that particle might behave. In principle, probability distributions could also be constructed for the behavior of individual cars/drivers, so a statistical approximation for the behavior of the ensemble of drivers in a system is probably a reasonable aim.
In practice this cannot work. "Except to pass" allows for any nonzero differential speed. Someone will be doing 55MPH in the rightmost lane and someone will pass them at 55.1MPH, and someone will pass them in the left lane at 55.2MPH.

Few people will want to "install the server agent"...

I'm assuming this is actually a client agent (as in, it talks to a server or servers operated by anomalous), but why would it be required anyway? It seems actual log lines are being uploaded to "anomalous" anyway? If it's just to reduce bandwidth, why isn't this just a plugin for rsyslog?

Two big companies I've worked have generally followed the same progression of deployment times:

Stage One: Right after work on Friday (until some big client that files all their payments on Friday afternoon complains.)

Stage Two: Late on Friday night (until problems arise and all but one of the mainframe admins have gone camping for the weekend.)

Stage Three: Late on Thursday night (until problems arise the next morning and half of the DBA's are on vacation and the other half are "working from home")

Stage Four: Late on Wednesday night (until problems arise that take the system down for 18 hours and impact clients on Thursday morning.)

Stage Five: Right after work on Friday.
