This new May Day feature launched by Amazon is I think super-useful for early stage startups. As a startup CTO I am struggling to get to talk via Skype/phone or even in flesh with our users and I know this is very difficult.

An in app service/sdk implementing the same video support of Amazon's MayDay would be very useful for understanding what the users do not find immediate, what they're trying to accomplish with your specific app and more importantly which features they would want modified/included in future releases.

I know there are many customer support services (like uservoice/zendesk) which provide sdks/apis and forums for users to express their opinion.

But there is nothing like talking face-to-face with one of your users, in particular when they experience a problem.

Do you know of any service/startup providing a similar drop-in service to include in your app?
If this is not the case, then I strongly believe it should exist.

Not when most of that 16GB is in use. At the moment, chrome is using up 3.4GB. Yea, I have a lot of tabs open. Yes, I should work on that. Yes, I'd also like being able to open that many tabs and have my browser perhaps release some of that memory and just reclaim it when I open the tab for reading again.

Docker is real nice, although I might go for pure LXC the nex time I build something. But I'm developing on OSX (as many of us, I believe). So _not_ running a VM is not really possible here. I deploy on Linux, and like to have my environment very consistent, hence the VM. Granted, with Docker/LXC I could probably get by with just one VM and a lot of little apps running side-by-side, but that's not how my current setup and projects work, yet.

At any rate, less memory used by browser is more memory for me, to use any way I want.

I already love the firefox behaviour that when it restores your tabs, it doesn't actually load them until you click on them. Awesome startup speed improvement.

===========================
====== What we do =========
===========================

We're Waze for Cargo. Building hardware to put inside of shipping containers so our customers get realtime visibility into their supply chain. We're then taking the info we get from the hardware and figuring out where the bottlenecks in the supply chain are, predicting whether or not a shipment is going to make it to its destination on time, and dynamically rerouting/rescheduling shipments so that we can optimize the system as a whole. Really neat stuff.

===========================
===== How we do it ========
===========================

Web stack -> clojure (immutant) + HANA (really scary database on crack) -- we use middleman + enlive (and a bit of hiccup) for templating

Algorithms -> a dizzying mixture of oldschool and newschool techniques ;-)

Hardware -> prototyped with arduino, still using atmel uC but no longer arduino-ey. Manufacture-ready. In the process of sourcing for large scale manufacturing. Have some pilots running.

===========================
====== And the rest =======
===========================

We've got some very interesting partners and customers (ranging from telcos to enterprise software providers to regional and international logistics companies).

Looking for help at every point in the system (hardware, firmware, frontend, backend, algorithms, mobile, etc).

If this sounds interesting, please shoot me an email at marc@weft.io!
Asana - San Francisco (H1B, INTERN)

At Asana we are building a shared task list for teams in an effort to re-imagine the way people work together. As knowledge workers, we and our loved ones spend most of our time living in programs (email, calendar, document editors, etc.) that help us move and manage data, and get things done. This is an opportunity to improve that part of our lives.

Our founders Dustin and JR started Asana after they saw some internal tools they prototyped at Facebook spread through the company and substantially boost teams' productivity. Since our launch, we've seen tremendously positive response from both press and users.

We've also built some pretty breakthrough web technologies ( http://asana.com/luna ), assembled a best-of-the-best engineering team (including creators of Facebook's News Feed backend, Android's sync, Yelp's ranking algorithm, Aptana's VP Eng, ...), raised $38M in funding (from Benchmark Capital, Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel, Mitch Kapor, and Sean Parker), built a mature egoless culture, and perhaps most importantly, are earnestly pursuing a vision and opportunity that we believe has great potential for large positive world impact.

See what it's like to work at Asana here: http://qr.ae/IQgg6 and more info on our jobs page: http://asana.com/jobs

Interested? Email jobs@asana.com

I liked debugging more once I realized that the answer always comes as a surprise. Something you believe about your system must not be true, or else the fix would be straightforward. So debugging is like a mystery novel: suddenly seeing what you didn't see before is a pleasure.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. I sent my data with the social contract that you'd also look at my monetization technique.

By breaking that contract, you're preventing me from producing more content, content you apparently want. You're actually hurting yourself, from a practical standpoint, as well as causing harm to me.
Hi Thomas, can you provide me with your email so I can get in touch with you? I'm interested in applying as an intern but I have some questions. Thanks!
Exactly. They found a correlation, that's all. And a sample size of n = 50 is not huge.

Well, sure there's a recovery process you couldn't achieve with those three examples, there's having a fourth backup of using your work email. Its like a math proof trying to prove there exists a largest integer N, theres always N+1.

I do agree that far too many people rely on precisely one backup, if they even have that many.

There are peculiar catch 22 issues like I used to buy books from amazon and once they arrive decide if they're worth staying my property in which case I don't submit a reimbursement voucher or if they're not so good in which case I submit a reimbursement voucher. So technically I don't know if I'm doing personal or business purchasing until long after the transaction.

Another weird corner case is related to health insurance which is tied to employer (if any) in the USA. So emailing an insurance company about health related topics using the work email seems appropriate until you can't use that email anymore even though you're still employed and insured there. Ditto retirement accounts. There are probably people out there with health insurance and retirement accounts who have no non-work related internet access... maybe if they're a forrester stationed in the middle of nowhere or an undercover cop who doesn't want to be caught talking about benefits with the FBI HR person on his personal iphone.
> All in all, it seems (from a not-particularly-in-touch outsider perspective) as if Mozilla went from being totally dismissive of memory complaints to being hyper-responsive to memory complaints with no (publicly stated) rationale behind the change.

I suspect that being a company that wants to have a unified code base for their browser and that is now newly pushing a browser-centric OS for smartphones may explain this, at least in part.
US government research shuts down
Its about focus, which I believe is essential for both great products and successful startups. By focussing on GitHub only (we also focus pretty much on web apps running on Linux) we are able to make a great experience with limited resources. If we had said we'll also support svn and objc and windows and iphone and embedded systems, we'd be all over the place.

I consider it like Heroku vs Amazon. You can do anything with Amazon (like on Jenkins), but with Heroku it just works (like on Circle).

> I'm not sure _save_ is the right word here...using available memory has no particular cost to me over not using it.

The browser not using available memory means that other processes on the system have the memory available to use. For those of us who may have the browser running while something else is actively running on the computer, that's potentially pretty important.
D3.js is a beast, but it can be tamed. It took me a month to wrap my head around what was going on, but once you figure out what's happening, the data visualizations you can create are amazing.
Parse.ly - Remote Work in or near Eastern Timezone (EST) -- http://parse.ly

---

We're a fully distributed team (see http://bit.ly/distributed-teams for a post by me, the CTO) -- which is to say, a merit-based, technology-forward, super-bright team of Pythonistas who happen to collaborate using the same methods of major open web projects like Wikipedia, Wordpress, Ubuntu, and Mozilla.

We just closed a $5M series A round. As a result, we're looking to expand our engineering team. We are looking for full-stack engineers and senior engineers, especially focused on our backend analytics technology.

You'd be joining the company at a great time. Our engineering team is still small enough that we all fit in a room, but unlike two years ago, we are making millions in revenue and have a ridiculous amount of data to draw insight out of on behalf of our customers.

You should be an expert in a mainstream programming language, preferably Python or JavaScript. You should be willing to learn, or already know, technologies like Fabric, Chef, Tornado, MongoDB, Redis, Solr, Cassandra, Pig, Storm, and Amazon Web Services. You should be extremely handy at a UNIX command line, possessing all the skills of a sysadmin.

If you join us, you'll be part of a well-funded and high-revenue SaaS analytics company that is rewriting the rules of online media. Our software aggregates data on over 5 billion pageviews per month of traffic, and we work with major media companies as customers, such as The Atlantic, Arstechnica, Mashable, The New Republic, MIT Technology Review, and many more.

Get in touch with us directly at hello@parsely.com if you are interested -- mention HN and ask for Andrew.

Peeler.js: a magazine UX for the browser
The central assumption for this argument is that the average time between cars is fairly consistent no matter the environment; small changes to this time do not matter.

However, on a congested road very small changes can have huge effects. IIRC, one study showed that a 1% decrease in the number of vehicles resulted in a 28% decrease in commute time.

I'm pleased to see people showing off what you can do with Google docs. I think most people (and even most developers) totally underestimate what's possible with Google Apps Script.

A great example of what is possible using Spreadsheets to do live dashboards and analysis of site data. If you use Heroku you can pump data directly from Heroku Dataclips into a Google spreadsheet using a live CSV URL and then analyse, munge and display it however you like.

Apps Script can both consume send data to other web services so coupled with Heroku Dataclips or Chartio.com it's super powerful. It's a great way to skip a lot of UI work or even for someone with business savvy but no official programming skill to get directly into their database and spelunk around.

SEEKING WORK - Remote or Southern Ireland

I'm a junior web developer that's constantly seeking more challenges. I quit my job and moved to Ireland just recently and I've kept busy learning C and getting into information security, but I'm aching to do some web development work again.

I'm pretty good with Ruby on Rails and AngularJS. I'm also pretty familiar with D3.js, Python, making/consuming APIs, and getting things running on Heroku or an nginx VPS.

What do I mean by "pretty good"? I got a junior web dev spot at my last job (awesome company) after a 3 month internship, because as they said, I learn things really really fast. And damn, I love doing this stuff.

Since I'm new to freelancing, I bet you my rates will be lower until I can build up my portfolio. If you would like to hear more about my experience, hit me up at matt@mattscodecave.com
Challenging the Bing It On Challenge
It depends on the state. Most states are actually using the federal system. Some states did their own. For those, most were outsourced to contractors, as the business rules are extremely complex and state governments tend to not have much experience with high-volume consumer transactional websites.

A lot of the projects were handicapped by short schedules, due to political interference. They weren't really free to work full strength until after the 2012 election was done.
I can't get any rates to come up, every option I've tried for small businesses just shows:

The catastrophe theory model seems compatible with the anti-traffic solution to traffic 'standing waves' - by slowing down a little when approaching stationary traffic, allowing that stationary blockage time to 'evaporate', you avoid slowing down below the catastrophic threshold that puts your rear bumper more than 2 seconds behind your front bumper, keeping the road in the higher capacity regime. Same reasoning is why UK motorways signpost 'advisory speed limits' - and some even have variable enforced speed limits - to manage road capacity.
You're right, there's risk in any action. The solution is to accept the risk, not to harm others while trying to protect yourself.

By blocking adverts, you're harming the people who make the things you like, in direct proportion to how much you like their content. The more you visit their site, the more load you make them pay for without giving anything in return.

If you're okay with harming others to keep yourself safe, and harming your ability to consume additional content from the people you want to consume content from, then fine. Continue to block ads. But know you're part of the problem, and are being selfish.
Seems like they work about as well as any other major launch.
