I am working on a newsletter for remote work opportunities. As a developer you can sign up, and (will be able to) set some filters like what technologies you are interested in, salary, if you want to work full or parttime, what time zone you are in etc... As soon as a company submits a job which matches your criterea (and only then) you will receive a mail.

right now a simple mailchimp form is up on http://remoteworknewsletter.com, and the full version with all filters will be up soon.

I wrote about how i launched the idea on HN a while back: http://blog.remoteworknewsletter.com/2014/10/15/how-to-valdi...
This is capitalism, not tax funded corporations.

I feel your pain, but we've got to let go of this word. "Capitalism" has meant exactly "tax-funded corporations", and all the other bullshit that you and I don't like, for such a long time, that this is the accepted meaning now. I don't think the phrase "free market" has been spoiled yet, but if we have to have an -ism then we need to come up with a new one. Avoid the adjective "true", because that just opens one to Scotsman accusations.

Full rewrite of The Weathertron iOS app (http://theweathertron.com/) from Angular.js + ClojureScript to React.js + ClojureScript.

The original Weathertron is still runnin' happily for about 40,000 iOS users from a single $5/month Digital Ocean VPS (backend server is written in Clojure).

The motivation for the full rewrite is React.js and the latest Android OS inclusion of a decent WebKit.
React's virtual DOM makes rendering more efficient than Angular.js on slower devices and the recent WebKit supports all of the responsive CSS we used in the original iOS version.

Since I don't carry a smartphone at all, I also recently released a free Weathertron Google Chrome extension so that I could use the app myself: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/weathertron/jljkok...

I 'just' used PyCharm for python development and it's really awesome (now not coding python much anymore, that's why 'used'). I don't know exactly about the Python Plugin for IntelliJ but I heard that it's almost the same as just taking PyCharm.
> "If technical analysis is equivalent to looking for the restaurant with the most people at it, then the restaurant that you're trying to find is the one that, over the period that you intend to eat there, will gain the most new customers,"

Which pretty much is what you want to achieve in certain markets.

For instance, if you are trading with CFDs and want to close your positions in the short term, you want to predict the right direction in an instrument with high volatility, which tends to be correlated with the amount of people trading in the same instrument (restaurant with the most people for a given period of time)

I think one of the problems is that the OCR assumes the images to be (English) letters.

To be really really useful, the OCR would need to consider at least all characters in the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane. And then it needs to be able to reject an image as containing any word, and then it needs to solve the halting problem.

Technical Analysis can be useful, because it enables a systematic approach to trading - eliminating subjectivity when making trading decisions. Consistently exploiting some edge with a well defined set of rules and conservative risk management is key.
I'm woking on a AI/NLP interface to connect enterprises to customers through whatsapp and other messaging apps.

I'm using Python/Django and Yowsup (a python lib that reverse engineered whatsapp's protocol) with PostgreSQL/Redis.

I wonder what you guys think about building a company around this idea. I have a prototype and a couple of customers, so the market is there, but I don't know if whatsapp could sue me or something.

Thingful – Mapping the Internet of Things
I wanted a static site generator that could have a CMS so that I could pass the sites over to friends or clients so they could update it. Essentially, a not-terrible Wordpress that wasn't blog centric and bloated.

http://www.webhook.com

I built it over the summer, funded it through Kickstarter and have slowly been building a nice little client base of recurring revenue. The code itself is open source so it's self-hostable and free, but we provide a quick one-line deploy hosted solution as well.

Probably the most fun bit has been trying to just remove the barrier of troublesome local installation for these kinds of things. Usually people go with PHP because you can just run it everywhere, but that still requires setting up apache/mysql somewhere. We use Firebase and Node, so were able to get the entire package installed through a downloadable app. I think we probably have the fasted installation available for this kind of thing.

I work on it mostly full-time, then design client sites with it on the side.
What could work might be a purpose-built spacecraft with a low-power but efficient engine (e.g. ion drive). This spacecraft would align velocities, then touch and bind every piece of space debris along its orbit. Eventually it would snowball enough to just let smaller pieces of debris hit it and stick. After it has become too heavy to maneuver, or when the propellant is depleted, the spacecraft would go down and burn in the atmosphere.

The problem is the way to properly bind the pieces of debris.
Our Sincerest Apologies
Comment C) is right on! The amount of coordination and planning it would take to secretly pull it off greatly surpasses even the most talented and motivated groups.

It's interesting you use Gandhi as an example, there is some substantial evidence he had access to a great deal of the world's bounty due to his positive impact. This would seem like a market efficiency.

It seems this artist had significant exposure to the potential customer, along with a recording contract which would suggest promotional funding. With my cold-hearted economist hat on it's tempting to assign this less to a market inefficiency than not contributing much to society.

The self-incrimination clause in the U.S. Constitution is rooted more in preventing the government from using coercion than it is in concern over the veracity of any testimony obtained through that coercion (of course torturing people into confessing crimes they did not commit is a major historical motivation for the provision, but mechanistically, it is not concerned with truth).

When it comes to a locked safe, the U.S. Supreme court still muses about whether revealing the combination to a lock is testimonial. For instance:

"Government services like these do not equal socialism."

So why is it socialism for the government to use tax money hire doctors and nurses to help people (e.g. UK NHS which was very clearly seen by its founders as a socialist endeavour) and not socialist for the government to hire soldiers to defend the country from attack?

NB I'm from the UK where it's clear that the public sector here has some of the very best people working for it (in the front lines of the NHS and the military) as well as some of the worst (particularly senior leadership in both organisations).
> way too many, all scientific evidence points that out, too

The hallmark of scientific evidence is citation. You don't provide any.

> you cant keep pooping babies

Developed countries typically have birth rates lower than the "sustaining" birth rate.

> you also can't enslave some people to these and have the other as the manipulative ultra powerful individuals

This is the elephant in the room. Labor vs capital is stacked as it is, and automation will make it worse. We have to try to figure out a way to deal with it before things get violent (and they will get violent if we don't).
Python support in Intellij Ultimate is also "just a plug-in". Adding the plug-in gives equivalent functionality to running the stand-alone PyCharm.

Apart from that, the support for Scala is not at the same level as the support for Java. Given the differences in language complexity, it is much easier writing tools handling Java code than writing tools for handling Scala code. Combined with the scale of markets, I would be very surprised if Scala support was even near Java support.

With that said, I can't get Scala to run in my IntelliJ 14 install, so I'll have to stay in 13 for now. Sigh...
Sounds a bit like rain formation: nucleation and aggregation. But space is big, and the spacecraft is not attracting anything (too small for gravity to matter). Not sure even a big snowball is going to collect much debris. A solar sail perhaps? Cross-section has to be key.
Still working on a Python-like systems programming language (Rust-like memory management -- no GC, compiler in Python targeting LLVM IR).

In my march towards getting exceptions working (using Intel's Itanium exception ABI), I'm currently hacking on option types and memory management. In particular, trying to figure out how to sensibly insert destructor calls for expiring owned pointers. So far, I clean up just before "return" nodes, but this doesn't do the right thing (a) in the face of reassignments (old object stays alive), and consequently (b) in longer-running loops. I think I can do sufficiently smart liveness analsysis, but I haven't figured out a clean algorithm yet.

Code is still private for now, while I do some more experimentation to see if I can get things to work.
DC and Oregon too. I think DC in particular will be interesting because Congress has power over DC it does not have with states. Could be the opening for a national debate (or the newly elected Congress could simply crush it).

So many things, that I have yet to finish:

* A toy programming language of my own. Been working on it on and off (but mosty off) for the past 2 years. Every couple of months or so, I will go on for a couple of days to add a few features (last additions were functions and if conditions). I have learned a ton while doing this project, mostly about programming language implementation. My ultimate goal in this project is compiling the language to brainfuck. Useless I know, but a very good learning experience. Using C# for the initial version, but will transition to a bootstrapped compiler when the language is mature enough.

* I recently started playing with Event Sourcing, and I'm writing a PHP library for it.

* A collaborative, real-time todo app using Laravel and Ratchet for the real-time stuff. PHP.

* Some time ago, I inherited the maintenance of Testify.php, a simple PHP unit testing framework. I had great plans for it, but never came around to execute them. Maybe someday.

Is there a central database for election results?
I'd like to check up on how my district voted for all the people we had on the ballot. Having no difficulties finding big senate races, but district-specific info is hard to find. Is there a central database of election results I could query? It would be great if some website/app showed me the ballot, and checked off winners and showed breakdown by number of people and percentages.
Been using EAP for quite some time now. Really impressed.

Congratulations Jetbrains. Keep it coming. :)
I agree with all of your points but number 1. I think a good SPA should be a network-reliant application whose complexity is demanded by the use case. And a good framework for one should have provide near instant load times: a small core library with additional resources and logic only loaded on demand.

It was launched on HN a couple months ago. We've been slowly improving our keyword rankings on a few key terms, and are finally to the point where we are consistently signing up new users everyday.

We've also been surprised to see the users who upgrade to paid accounts are split pretty evenly between the $6.99 plan and the $19.99. Our pre-launch guess was that it would be a 90/10 split on those plans.

I wouldn't worry so much about WhatsApp suing you. If they don't like what you're doing (or others for that matter) they can more just change their protocol.

The problem with building a company around such a solution rather is this: Is there a market? Sure, having a machine automatically answer customer requests is a nice parlour trick but what's the benefit for the customer?

Just saving money on call centre agents? Or does the software actually solve a real problem in a novel way that can't be tackled using existing solutions?

"All the data we collect is anonymous and we only sell anonymised data."

But there have been numerous violations of such "anonymised" data that caused the identities of the people ostensibly protected by this anonymization to be revealed.

There is ongoing research in to how to make more robust, mathematical guarantees of anonymity in such datasets. Until this research comes to fruition and becomes widely deployed in industry (something that's probably decades away), I would not take much comfort in assurances from industry reps that the data the companies they represent collect or release are "anonymised".

For past few months we have got an unusual amount of traffic and conversions from countries like Algeria, Yemen, Iraq etc., but not even a single product purchase.

We separated our campaigns geographically and all these countries were in a separate group. Since no one was actively digging deep into every campaign(a big fault I know), we probably might have lost thousands of dollars in above said countries.

I am sure it is some kind of scam. Have you ever faced such a situation? If yes, what did you do?
