Grocery delivery is fantastic when you need it, even if it costs a little more than driving out and doing it yourself.

In the Twin Cities area we have Coborns Delivers (http://www.cobornsdelivers.com). It was amazing to have groceries delivered to my front steps in the winter time after we had a baby.
Digging this. Great organization, photo layouts, filters: great presentation overall.
Excellent work, super polished app!
Well, it can't completely - even if it drops back to $500, it still will be better than USD or CNY. I just don't think there's much interest at the moment for price above $1,000 and Merrill Lynch/BofA pretty muched capped the price temporarily at $1,300. There's another dump happening right now - the temporary increase was nothing, but the typical "dead cat bounce" we've seen before. Too much bad news isn't always good news!
> Right now, only 1 meat meal and 1 vegan meal a day. We're thinking about adding a GF option.

One emphatic suggestion: make sure your vegetarian/vegan meals have as many calories as the meat meals. This is something that so many caterers get wrong.

Low-carb and MOKO strike me as not something you should take into consideration but options to avoid dairy and gluten make sense for when you expand your menu, as those can be serious allergies for some people. I would add nut allergies to the list, as they're quite common.

Engineer @heyday here. Thanks for letting us know :)

I think the evaluation is based on the previous owner / user of that IP address (it's hosted on S3, and IP addresses are kind of like relatives on your family's christmas get-together.) I submitted the site for re-evaluation though.

There was an article on HN today talking about Dropbox and how at the time when Dropbox was launched there were hundreds of similar solutions. The gist of it was that the "first to market" concept wasn't a roadblock but simply a hurdle that can and has been overcome.

People tend to discourage posts with "This."
I agree with you.

However, I'd also like to know @rafcavallaro's reasoning: what is the significance of sales tax ruling, and if it is, what is the significance of covering it up with a 60 Minutes broadcast about drone delivery? I could be wrong about what I am seeing. Or maybe @rafcavallaro's reasoning won't hold up if we actually examine it closely. Won't really know until we hear from the person.

AND of peace.

Mandela was in prison for 27 years, oppressed his whole life before and after that, and once he gets power, his watchwords? Truth and Reconciliaton.

That's why he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize, because with any other leader (just pick a country on the same continent, Zimbabwe's right next door) that situation turns into a shitshow at that point.

The fact that he was in the ANC isn't what makes him notable, plenty of other guerilla leaders in Africa who threw out colonialists or white minority rule. That's not why we're talking about him. What he did when he won made him notable.

The "he wasn't peaceful" idiots on this thread are either incapable of seeing the big picture or fighting some dumb US domestic political battle.
> I'm still not 100% sure if mathieuh (and you) are using the word "liberal" to mean "left" or "not left".

I think, in the sense used in the post at issue:

"Left":"Liberal"::Bolshevik:Menshevik

So liberal is to the left of Center but to the right of Left.
I think the idea is you can work for anybody, but you should think what you're doing. If everything the company does is immoral, don't work for them at all. If not all is immoral, you can do what's moral. Usually it's a whole gray of shades.

Instead of "Supreme Court to Amazon: 'collect state sales tax,'" we got "Amazon to deliver by drone." Big players, be they commercial or political, know how work the news cycle - thus is just another example.
Hey Blader - Freemium is typically used for a landgrab, but only when there's a very specific monetization plan in place to leverage the "leads" (free users). I'm a bit concerned that you're not first to market and going straight to free. Do you have monetization thought out?

Here's a good article to consider: http://blog.priceintelligently.com/blog/bid/188339/Screw-Fre...
One problem I have is that moving numbers (account balances) around is not very difficult in principle. I don't see how Bitcoin has an especially defensible position in that respect. And since the marginal cost of transfers is low so should be the value ascribed. So Bitcoin might kill Western Union and the money transfer oligopoly but not capture much value doing so.

As to the advantages of centralized entities they have the support of the state, are better organized and can act unilaterally among others.

I'd like to see a decentralized system win for once but history has shown that centralized services almost always do.
It may be relevant to note here that Manuel joined our team through a Hacker News Who's Hiring thread. =)
By break-even I had meant nominally. I don't recall where I saw them, but I do recall having seen it (BI has been on my radar for some while).
I'm skeptical about the stated reasons to go back. The only one that seems of any actual rarity is the moon rocks themselves, but that seems unlikely to be a sufficient recurring revenue stream. Aka, once everyone can get one, what's the attraction?

Rare Earth are available, just most terrestrial mines have shut down because there is not a sufficient market place to make it worth while.

Helium-3 can be manufactured. So again, terrestrial production can be increased.

Not going to comment on platinum.

Honestly the most value I could see on the moon is the production of resources to sustain life and fuel to act as a higher orbit refueling platform. Both are critical to get humans and machines active in space.

Amazing work, incredible on-boarding experience. Opening the app for the first time and having the past few days already perfectly chronicled for me felt truly magical. Maybe I just got lucky, but I felt like the combination of my photos, geolocation data, and time data was perfect. Thanks for showing!
My last day for my current consulting contract is December 31, 2013.

I'm going to be working full-time on my bootup business after that.
"Libertarian-socialist" sounds like a huge contradiction to me; you can be either one or the other, but they contradict each other. You're either for personal freedoms and individualism (i.e., libertarian), or for "the common good" (as most socialists claim to be).
We Work Remotely - Remote Job listings
Good points I guess, I just have a hard time believing publicizing these claims more would have had much of an effect on policy. I'll just point out the irony of your username and leave it at that :)
I suspect there might be something else at work here. Ask yourself this question: if you take a 20 minute nap at work, will that count as part of your working hours or not?

Even at the places where employees are not expected to rigidly conform to fixed working hours, there's an expectation to put in a certain minimum of hours. I'm not talking about producing a certain output: even in the most "goal-oriented" places I've worked at, there was still an unstated, tacit expectation that you were supposed to put in a certain minimum of effort, regardless of your results.

What I'm getting at is that if you have employees who nap and those who don't, there will almost certainly exist an expectation that those who nap should put in extra time equal to the length of their nap. Therefore, those who do nap will lose some of their free time.

If you're single, that could be an acceptable bargain: instead of sleeping for (say) 8 hours at night, you would have a 20 minute nap at the office, stay 20 minutes longer and then sleep for 6 hours at night. The net gain would be 80 minutes, which isn't bad at all.

On the other hand, if you're a family person, then that's 20 minutes less with (say) your kid after school.
I'm not sure that Kim Jong-un would take very kindly to it. Oh, China could win it, if they really wanted to, but it's not like NK would just capitulate; it would be a very nasty, bloody land war.
I do hope more kids get Nintendos and the handheld stays strong but also I hope it doesn't relegate them to the back and fade away. I got all Nintendo's through Wii for my son but they end up on the computer or tablets for other things.

They might be immensely more profitable and they would be good to remake mobile games a little more fun. Super Smash Brothers would sell alot and with very smart in-apps or f2p like Halfbrick style would probably dwarf Angry Birds, many of Nintendo titles would. They are just not reaching tons of fans and sales.

Nintendo sells 4M units because that is a small set of good games on a small market like console 10-20million users (across all three bigs it is only 150 million). Mobile is billions of users, pretty much everyone would buy Nintendo games on mobile, they could also change premium pricing and sell easily at 5-10-15 even 20 maybe. In-apps would keep them alive in profitability and they could change mobile gaming in big ways even down to controller accessories.
It actually looks like it's using fixed wheel hubs in the video, to me.

Regardless of the success of one side's v.s. the other side's policies, a system which seeks to prevent either political "side" from accomplishing anything can hardly be called democratic. Only by honestly attempting mutually exclusive policies can we discover their efficacy in the real world. I think your eagerness to see a substantial proportion of the population lose their political agency to be far more disturbing than any particular political issue.

One thing that I've always liked about OhLife is that they send me an email everyday to keep track of my journal entries, anyway of integrating that in? I keep a zero inbox so this works out for me really well.
Responsibility isn't zero-sum. The fact that you have an obligation not to act irresponsibly does not absolve your manager of the obligation not to ask you to. This particular article focuses on one particular layer in the heirarchy, but the author isn't implying that morality is only relevant in the trenches -- it applies at all levels, and shortcomings at any level should be addressed. This was an article written by an engineer for an engineering audience; tomorrow you might see an article in a different newspaper for middle managers or company directors or shareholders.

As an aside, though "exit" may be a more powerful force than "voice", I wouldn't discount people's abilities to change corporate behaviour by mechanisms other than boycott. In fact, if moral workers are to steer clear of questionable businesses it is unreasonable to expect those businesses to maintain any kind of moral compass.
I swear people will find a way to feel entitled to just about anything.
I love the idea. I have a terrible memory, and when people ask me "remember when were at ____ on ____?". My answer, every time, is no.

If only I had an iPhone...
"- Waiting 1-2 hours for a transaction is unacceptable. Don't tell me about oddballs like Namecheap that sells products that are free to copy and can be revoked at any time."

First confirmation is plenty for most transactions, and you're more likely to actually see that money than a credit card transaction (which can be charged back later). And, that usually takes a few seconds. If you're paying a small fee, you're very likely to get confirmations even faster.

The only reason to wait for many confirmations is for something particularly expensive. Food at a restaurant? No need to go overboard; one confirmation is plenty. Even no confirmation is probably fine in most cases. Dine and dash is more of a fear for most restaurants than someone paying with a bogus card (or bogus Bitcoin payment), I suspect.

Anyway, I've never had a transaction where I included a fee (even a fee of less than a penny) take more than a few minutes to receive ten confirmations.

"- Getting money in and out is a hassle and doesn't seem to get better. Who is to say next week the US doesn't ban exchanges from allowing you to cash in or out? It already happened to Mtgox."

Certainly a valid concern and fear. Coinbase works great for me. But, if Bitcoin succeeds, why would you ever need to get "money" out? If Bitcoin succeeds, Bitcoin is the money you want. It's better money than the "money" you're talking about. I want to be paid in Bitcoin, and I want to pay all of my bills in Bitcoin. I never want to have to see another US dollar.

"- When I tried to get people to pay with Bitcoins, they were all turned off by how slow it is to get money in and to perform a transaction."

If you were telling them it takes two hours to send someone Bitcoins, I don't blame them.
Wow. I rarely download this stuff. But the fact that it claims to be automatic piqued my interest.

After downloading it I can say that my first impression is shocked. Shocked that I really liked it.

I think what I love about it is that it's not social. It lets me relive my recent past. It includes some photos of my kids that I wouldn't put on Facebook, for example. That leads to a much more intimate experience of my past.
Good for OP admitting they spent more than a weekend or 2 weeks on a project. Most of what we see posted boasts about how quickly they did it.
I used the free trial in LA for a while. I placed quite a few orders in the two months that I used it, but ultimately decided to cancel it before I had to pay the additional $220.

The selection was somewhat mediocre compared to what you would find in a real grocery store. The quality of produce was good, while the quality of the meat was mediocre. The selection of wine and beer was abysmal (wine and beer were made available through a third party, but they seemed to have a very limited selection). The pricing was also considerably higher than what you would find at a supermarket and just slightly lower than Whole Foods (while the quality was not nearly as good...). They seemed unable to meet the demand for certain items (La Brea bakery bread for example), and in two separate orders they just didn't send some items.

I realized with the first order that you really need to do the in person delivery since you'll be stuck with a bunch of giant box/bag things full of frozen water bottles cluttering up your residence unless you return them to the delivery person. They encourage you to tip the delivery person as well, which I find annoying. If I'm already paying $220 for this additional service, why don't Amazon pay them a decent wage? In the end, I just don't order enough groceries to justify the $220 a year it costs.
When I read the title I got concerned that you worked on something for 2 years without testing the market with a quick prototype, but looking at your site I'd say your likely to succeed. Excellent execution!
I love that I didn't have to do anything and I already had a journal from my old photos. Very compelling. Overall on-boarding fantastic.

I also really appreciate that its a private journal. Sick of sharing.
All of the problems you mention are solvable and present another business opportunity for an entrepreneur on HN.
Yes. It fits better to Phoenix Program http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Program than Guantanamo.
I was really happy to see an app I actually want to use.

Then I downloaded it, went through the introduction and hit a wall when I had to make an account or log in with facebook.

If this is a personal journal, why do I have to make an account? I would love to use the app, but I'm not going to make an account and would want it to run without having to connect to an outside server in any way.
"Probably going to" is not now. Amazon faces having to collect state sales tax now with no hope that the courts will intervene. I think this does matter to investor perception of amazon.
Engineer @heyday here. We've already got an export-to-json prototype, but it's not quite ready for the public yet. And of course we want to export into a beautiful format for the average user as well.
Looks great! I wish I could use it on my phone, which is an android (galaxy note ii.)
I feel the majority of libraries you will use in Haskell won't resort to errors except in two cases: One is very low-level libraries doing things like interacting with C-code or raw memory. These are dangerous in all languages unless you are careful. The second is in functions that explicitly let the caller know they may fail.

For example, you can write "head aList" which will cause an error if aList is empty, however if you instead write "case aList of { [] -> handleEmptyList; a:as -> handleNonEmptyList a}" then you can cleanly get around the exceptional cases. It does take discipline to use these functions and when writing in "quick and dirty" mode I do skip and use the other functions, but they should only be used carefully.
I'm thinking this falls out as: we only see losses up to 20%, because for transmissions where it would be higher, it's not feasible, so not done, so we don't see it.

I guess your scenario of outback solar powering the world would work with undersea (why not?) superconducting cables. But orbital power stations need a space elevator (perhaps more feasible, if it's just a cable, not people/goods transport).

I worry about room-temperature superconductors... what if they carry massive power and get a tiny bit hotter? I suppose there's the same solution of circuit breakers as for regular cables, but seems more dangerous with little head room and no environmental cooling. Don't touch that! You'll warm i ka-BOOOM
Sort of... though just to nit-pick a bit, an application should never feel like it's doing you a favor (Heyday doesn't). It should feel like it completely defers to you. But we agree.
Nobody that paranoid should use an iPhone. Or any phone, actually...
The lack of formatting on that page is driving me insane. It's so hard to visually parse.
High level language usage requires context and a good amount of history between the communicating parties, and when the uninitiated jump into a conversation without such pretext, it can lead to bad things very quickly, or quite literally misunderstanding.

This is also why people who constantly talk about 'logical fallacies' and are quick to use it and point it out everywhere do not understand that it betrays the entire context of dialogue the conversers have.

Great job! One of the best I've played with in a while. Apple needs to pay attention, iOS natively should have something like this.
+1 here. I forget to log with Day One pretty often (even with their Mac notifications, which give you a text field to begin writing on), but I'm also not convinced that I was as much information as something like Slogger[1] gives me. Especially with things like the new M7 sensor in the 5S, there's huge potential for passive journaling where a great deal of information can be gathered locally without ever typing a word.
