About 4 years ago, I was chatting with a journalist via Twitter and when we had to discuss details, he told me, "I don't check my email, just DM me"...which profoundly annoyed me. Now, I have to admit, if someone DM's me, I almost always immediately respond. Part of it is because DMs, for me, still pale in quantity compared to emails, so I naturally notice them faster. I think it also works because of why Twitter works overall...the truncated message length is both an impediment to communication and a lowering-of-friction...unlike email, I don't feel like I have to come up with a well-composed or complete response...nor should the DMer expect more of me (or else they should've gone through email).

So the group DMing makes sense...it's not an innovation, but continues to keep people in the Twitter system. Their photo app functionality had been crap for awhile, but between the extra steps needed to go through Instagram (nevermind the lack of previews), the photo app is just good enough to entice the user to not leave the Twitter app.

I'm surprised they haven't tried to implement Snapchat-like functionality, frankly.

"Source code" is generally code you can put into a compiler and get out object code. The term "source" refers to the fact that it is used as input. This is why, for example, the GPL specifies that you must release the original source code in the preferred format for editing — so that people wouldn't release source code generated by disassembly or a source-to-source transformer.
Essentially, yes. To elaborate on the linked bug a bit:

You can use UIWebView, the older interface. The biggest problem is that its JavaScript engine is slower than Safari's, and does not JIT compile code (according to Apple, this is for security reasons). I've also seen complaints about scrolling performance.

You can use WKWebView, the newer interface. Its JavaScript engine does JIT, and it boasts 60fps scrolling. Unfortunately, it's missing several features detailed in the bug, including a way to clear and manage cookies, custom URL handlers, POST request bodies missing in certain cases, etc.

One would hope that the WkWebView bugs and omissions will be addressed in future iOS versions, but today is not possible to make an iOS browser that works as well as Safari.

Thanks for your comments everyone. I'm trying to keep up with them all. A little more information:

Pacifica is a hybrid application, built on the Ionic Framework (http://ionicframework.com/). We've been pretty happy with Ionic, it's the main reason we were able to release on Android and iOS simultaneously. Thanks to Max and the Drifty team for creating a great platform.

There are a lot of comments and questions about privacy and compliance. I'll try to summarize some of my answers:

We don't technically store what's called Protected (or Private) Health Information. This is because Pacifica is a self-help tool and PHI is defined as originating from a healthcare professional. That being said, we are taking steps to treat our data as if it were PHI. We have a signed Business Associated Agreement with Amazon and are trying to operate as if we were HIPAA compliant (we technically are, in the same way that any company that doesn't store PHI is HIPAA compliant).

Regarding privacy and security: yes, we're in the cloud. Specifically, on AWS. While this may be contentious, we believe that there's no reason this is less secure than if you were hosted in a local colocation facility. Amazon has pretty rigorous requirements for who has access to machines and who can access data on those machines. Many of their services are HIPAA compliant, and they certainly take this extremely seriously.

In addition, we do try to make sure everyone's data is as safe as possible. The mobile applications communicate with our servers over HTTPS. We're using Elastic Load Balancers but don't terminate SSL at the ELB, it passes through to our own server so Amazon doesn't have the private keys. Recordings are stored encrypted in S3, and our RDS instances are also encrypted. There's more that we can do (as there always is), but we wanted to provide a little information about what we are currently trying to do to protect things. We welcome any additional suggestions.

Well, it's subjective. If you care about "markets", then indeed a custom rendering engine would be wasted effort. If you care about rendering engines, then "markets" are a waste of effort ;)

Ask HN: A strong product vs. a strong culture which one would you prefer?
A bit of background, I currently have two competing offers to join 2 YC companies (both are in different domains). I've talked to founders from both companies and found both of them to be smart and ambitious.

A major difference that I found among the two companies was that the first company (Company A) has a really strong product but the company's culture seems not so much strong. The other company's (Company B) product seems to have changed very little in the past two years and its product seems neither technologically interesting nor highly appealing to the user. Despite of this, Company B has a better culture (at least that's what I found from the day I spent there).

Now, that I have made up my mind to join Company A over Company B, I am interested to know which of the companies would other HN readers pick.
That may be the very least likely thing that could happen, given the historical example of the Weimar republic about a century ago. I'm not implying thats likely or good, but asking politicians to voluntarily give up possibly their only lever is rather optimistic.
Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear enough. Questioning the existence and using rational arguments for or against the possibility of free will itself is a rational argument that affects theism or atheism. My point wasn't to tell you what my friends believe but to help you understand that there is a whole body of work dedicated to substance dualism that is based in rational arguments. That's just one philosophical subject, there are plenty others. Simply waving your hand and saying that rational arguments about theism or atheism are absurd is lazy at best. Take a look, there are plenty to be had.

An outright replacement acutually makes for a more robust product as we can control all the variables (how much rotation, how much force, and so on.) The previous version of Lockitron had to work in an unconstrained environment (vastly different characteristics for different kinds of locks Lockitron would fit over.) Think of it as parsing clean vs dirty data.

Also with the car battery example, where are you hooking up what? Electricity follows the path of least resistance. If both jumpers are connected to the outside of the metal deadbolt, you're not going to affect the interior. You would need one jumper on either side of the door to do what I think you have in mind.

Keep in mind that mortality prior to reaching one's first birthday was upwards of 50% in most premodern societies, so the key factor here seems to me to be not only fertility, but the ability to wield social capital over multiple generations (employing court physicians, wetnurses, etc) to ensure that all those kids actually live to adulthood. Hence why I find this study so interesting - it's using genetic evidence to map the flows of social power across generations (like with the dynasties of Genghis and the Qing).

A note about Go. Go has its own DNS resolver, but unfortunately, if you compile natively, it's not enabled by default. It's only enabled if you cross-compile, or if you disable cgo, or if you rebuild the standard library with -tags netgo.

I like the idea of having a roadmap. We'll try to get something up once things die down a bit.

1) Right, unless you can perform voice identification having the recording doesn't matter. Your voice could be used as an identifier though, which is why I mention it. I'm sure we could do something to modulate the recording with some filters, but part of the therapy is in hearing yourself talk, so it would be a bit self defeating. As for privacy, yes, it's clear we're going to need to make a few tweaks.

2) I think allowing the user to download the data would be good for the roadmap :)

3) No, it isn't. It was actually something I put in place this week and we just haven't gotten any info on it up yet.

4) Hopefully sometime soon :)
EFT Certification Trainings
How This Man Got the Media to Fall for ShipYourEnemiesGlitter Stunt
I am not an expert in this field, but I can tell you this much at least in the US:

1. Most recruiters get paid a percentage of the first year salary. Depending on the position, company, recruiter, etc... that can range from 10-20%. So a recruiter filling a $100K stands to make from $10K to $20K on the one placement.

2. One of the biggest issues in the industry is what they call "back door hires". Essentially this is where the company hires a candidate referred to them by a recruiter, but does not inform the recruiter of the hire, thus avoiding paying the commission. There are numerous reasons this can happen from complete accident to intended result.

3. There are recruiters who specialize in placing very specific levels. The higher up the position = the more niche the recruiter = the higher their fees. A recruiter working for a Fortune 500 company to find a new CEO stands to make significant money. Usually these firms will have a very refined candidate pool already developed that they work from. Probably one of the most premier executive level recruiters is Heidrick & Struggles.

4. It is advantageous to the recruiter to talk to as many people as possible for positions to gain an understanding of who is out there and what their skill set is. Even though you might not be a good fit for the current position, you may be a perfect fit for the next one.

5. For non-executive recruiters it is advantageous to place as many people in positions. These recruiters while not earning the big single commissions, earn on the volume of placements they make. That is why you see the recruiter-spam you see when applying for jobs.

It's easy to make crap and to dress it up as something good, people will pay for it and will in the end be underwhelmed by what 'computers can do', whereas it's just as hard today as it was in the 80's to make something really good. Unfortunately the crap will usually win out due to marketing.
Manipulation is, ironically, a loaded word. The primary differences between 'manipulation' and the subtle behavioral clues we give to others we communicate with is that the latter is generally done unconsciously and thus not based on testing and intent. This applies to games as well, as in this case. The design of your UI is going to influence your user base, so why is it a bad thing to try to ensure that it influences them in a positive way?

I installed a proximity card system a few jobs ago, and each IP enabled reader from HID (http://www.hidglobal.com/products/readers/iclass/rw400) was about $550 for both the external RFID interface and then the internal in-wall control unit (that used POE Ethernet to connect to the network). The cost per card is fairly trivial.
