Ask HN: Help. Got a working prototype. What to do next?
Hello! These months have been kinda busy. Me and my wife had a wonderful gift this January, our daughter Anaïs. Life is wonderful but time is even more limited now! :)

A couple of months before she was born we started thinking of putting together a list of stuff we would need for this occasion. Stroller, baby clothes, essential stuff (like a baby gas reliever! :O) and many handmade stuff we wanted to have right after the baby was delivered. It was a personal list of things we believed were the best on the market. We created this http://www.mamydoctor.com

Our family and friends demanded attention! They wanted to help us buying stuff; making gifts. We tried many products to do baby registries online but they were kinda outdated and the experience they offered was poor.

We built this http://www.mamydoctor.com/make-a-gift .

Here's where I'm asking the help of the HN community:
Since the baby was born I started working and thinking about this idea and how to turn it into a real product that people around the world could actually use.
Time is limited so I am trying to get the more help I can get to finally launch this product!
I was struggling at first but then I decided to put down a page that really explains what this product is and what it offers to the user.

http://www.mamydoctor.com/p/landing

What do you think about this page? What can be improved?
What should I do next? Should I finish building it completely before launching?
How to reach out early users?

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Author here. Just a note that by latency-critical, I'm referring to >10 millisecond latencies. If you can tolerate occasional pauses of 400-500 milliseconds, then the GC wouldn't be a problem. Also note that the GC slowness came from having to scan a fairly large heap (a lot of cached stuff); it could be avoided by storing all that off-heap, but I suspect that would complicate the code significantly.

Finally, note that by "at least an order of magnitude worse" I'm comparing it to hyper-optimised C++ that's designed for sub-millisecond latencies, as the C++ server used the same framework used in latency-critical HFT software.
>They're newish businesses in a rapidly-changing market and technological environment. Not one of them has the same "single provider at any cost" monopoly that phone companies had when the Title II telecom regulatory regime was designed.

On the contrary, almost all of them have that monopoly, oftentimes to the point where they've negotiated with exclusivity arrangements with municipalities. This means that even if Google, Apple, Netflix, etc. are willing and able to to lay down their own infrastructure, they're prevented from doing so by the government. If that doesn't make ISPs deserving of Title II regulation, I don't know what does.
We don’t want the state-run telcos in Saudi, Iran, Bahrain,

Sad to see that the 'land of the free' has become bundled (in a relatively short period of time) into a category of oppressive states that have little or no respect for the privacy of its citizens.
Why even ask it. My method is find the org chart depth with log_1.5(company size). Then divide that number by 1/2 execs, 1/2 managers. Guess the roles then go look at random people on linked-in. You can get a good feel for how the company is internally based on that.

Your cost estimates are outlandish, making Amazon S3 look like a bargain.

In reality 1.4PB raw will set you back well below $50k/pa, not $239k/pa.

If you're lazy you could even rent 1.4PB raw from e.g. Hetzner and you'd still be paying under $90k/pa (that would be 23 of their SX290 servers).

>Their training also focuses quite a bit on constant recall of what they're looking at (in the event their systems suddenly die, they need to always know what planes are in their sequence and where generally they are) ...

That seems brutal. Wonder why they don't do something like a continuous print instead.
Google surely does not fall into the category of a state actor but has been widely reported as part of PRISM. Go figure.
During my training I knew a guy whose ISP sent him a letter threatening to cancel his contract if he kept taking the "flat rate" literally.
Admittedly, that was one of the really cheap ISPs whose business model was selling "flat rate" accounts to people who would most likely never make substantial use of them.

Also, some ISPs have at least the option in their contracts to throttle the bandwidth after a certain amount of traffic. AFAIK, no ISP has used that option yet, so it has not been challenged in court.

People living in rural areas do have problem, indeed. I know a woman who until a year ago was stuck with freaking ISDN. There are many cases of rural communities pretty much begging the Telekom (Germany's largest ISP, I think) to hook them up with DSL, the Telekom ignoring their requests until the moment those communities start talking with some other ISP. The moment that happens, Telekom will hook them up with DSL faster than anyone can say "Internet".
Heh, hej Ludde!
All his examples require guarantees, not just priority. All of these examples are therefore unsuitable for a packet switched network.

Whoever needs such services should get a fixed line (real or virtual) that needs to be implemented at a lower layer than anything that the net neutrality debate is all about.

And for automotive communication, the "fixed line" problem is a physical one, since wireless communication is by definition a shared medium. Better just make cars not depend on guaranteed connectivity in the first place.
Dear Bryan who may never read this,

As you clearly say, your job is to serve your clients, the manufacturers who do not want their BIOSes to be replaced with something else like coreboot.

You say "Intel has to consider the needs of the system manufacturer along with the end user", but the balance is obviously slanted in one direction. The reason is simple: we end users are not your customers.

As pointed out before, the trickiest issues are with Intel ME and AMT, who can not be removed except on the X200. Otherwise, the luckiest machines will reboot every 30 minutes only. The others won't boot.

You say "Making firmware more open and more secure is an interesting balancing act, and I hope we work towards getting it right". I'm sorry but you don't. Having a backdoor that the physical owner of the machine can not remove is neither secure nor open. If there was a jumper than could be used by the knowledgeable end user to override all his, yes. There is no such things, only barriers.

This is a nice PR attempt to deflect the heat towards Lenovo (for the thinkpads), but sorry, that's vacuous.

There is a moral responsibility in a given design.

At the moment, this is at best the moral equivalent of making weapons without a safety and saying it's not your fault if they can harm the end user, and that the end user should direct the complains to whoever is selling these defective guns. Sorry, but I disagree.
This needs to be said - upgrade your RAM. If your device doesn't support a memory upgrade, get one that does.

Upgrading my laptop to 32GB RAM was one of those things where you wish you had done it a lot earlier. No more OOM-killers, no more things grinding to a halt because the box is swapping (in fact, I disabled swap altogether), no more checking memory utilisation before starting a beefy VM.

Just smooth sailing all along.
Oettinger is not exactly known for being a master of the "serious argument" or for his intimidating intellectual capacity.
Fun and pretty solidly stupid. The last thing you want to do when you're being followed is antagnoize the people following you. Especially so if you think the tracking violates your civil rights.

The best outcome for you is contacting a lawyer, a media outlet, and the people you think are surveilling you; the local police and FBI field office are a good start.

Making already suspicious people think you're doing something crazy or threatening isn't going to make your life any better. Something like how making jokes about bombs in airports will not improve your circumstances.

Great questions!

The typical input to the neural network is the 3D structure of the molecule and of the protein. The model works by detecting patterns in the pair of protein and the drug that correlate with binding, e.g. hydrogen bonding, halogen bonding, cation-pi, pi-pi interactions, etc. But these are complicated to encode manually, given all of the factors that affect binding strength: distance, angle, water mediated effects, resonance, (de)stabilizing environmental charges, etc. That's why we need the neural net: you can think of it as the network automatically deriving the best pharmacophoric features to maximally explain which training examples bind and which ones don't, and then the prediction step is looking for the presence or absence of those patterns in new protein-ligand pairs.

We evaluate our models both retrospectively and prospectively. For example, the DUD-E benchmark (http://dude.docking.org/) gives us an assessment of our performance over more than a million individual predictions, comprising many diseases and many biological classes (GPCR, nuclear receptor, enzyme, etc). It begins with 102 disease proteins and, for each one, has a set of molecules that bind to the protein and a set that don't. We shuffle those sets together and ask the neural net to "pick the aces out of the deck". Separately, we perform prospective evaluations, for settings where no one knows the right answer, and run the experiment to confirm the predictions.

I agree with you that the proper selection of targets is critical, as is the mapping between drug target and disease. For us, however, this is easy: we work with smart biologists! If you have any, please send them our way!

Finally, I agree with your point that biology is not designed to be understood by people. That said, molecular binding is fundamental enough that we could think of it as an example of physics rather than biology. And theory works so well for physics that, in many a physics lab, if an experiment disagrees with theory then the first step is to double-check the experiment for errors. The trick is to scale that up to larger systems. Semi-relevant: http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=2272

The typical timeline to get an actual cure all the way through the drug discovery pipeline is about 14 years. While we haven't been around long enough for that, we have had our algorithmic predictions validated by follow up physical experiment. This was even for very different diseases, e.g. multiple sclerosis and drug-resistant antibiotics.

Also, as I described in my above answer to et2o, we do large retrospective tests to evaluate our predictive accuracy.

I am French. The 3 month notice is when employees want to terminate a contract.

The way the usual contract in IT (CDI) works is: you can have a 4-month trial period, which you can renew once. Then the employer cannot fire you without "serious cause" (and "bad performance" does not qualify).

Some side-effects of that are:

- Employers are afraid to hire, leading to long-term unemployment.

- IT is dominated by huge consultancies (because companies prefer to contract out than hire).

- As an employee, it is almost impossible to rent a flat in Paris during a trial period (because we also have laws that make it impossible to expell people who don't pay their rent).

- Acquisitions are complicated because the acquirer needs to keep the whole team. An exception is companies that go broke (in which case they can fire part of the team and then be acquired).

I understand why we have those laws, they are useful to protect some categories of people. But for higher revenue professions, we would be better off with a contract that is more flexible. More and more people are trying to work around this by creating single-person companies instead of being employed directly, but it is a mess (and the state is doing all it can to make it illegal...).
Almost anything can be used as an instrument; some easier than others (blowing over the top of a bottle), but just about everything makes noises that can then be organized, modified, etc. :)

You can make surprisingly complicated music just clapping.

I think the crucial difference is just in how we grew up thinking about music.

My wife grew up in a culture where everything was publicly judged, students and performers were rated & ranked, etc.. If you did something and you didn't do it well, you'd better do it in secret.

I wasn't free from those feelings, but it wasn't as emphasized; and as I grew up, I eventually had a good base of things I was known to be good at... which in a way freed me to do other things badly.

And the funny thing about trying lots of new things (and doing them badly) is that practice makes you better rapid competence in new things -- this works in music, but also in anything else in life.

This is what I most want to emphasize whenever anyone talks about people with natural talent for music, for example (which can seem particularly magic to people with little experience of their own).

There are probably some inborn elements involved -- how well your ears work, etc. -- but so much really is learned, and once you're hooked, the amount of "practice" in music and thinking about sound becomes huge.

I'm not a pro performer, and not likely to become one; but it's something I love, so I probably spent 6+ hours a day doing something with music interleaved into it. Not sitting down with an instrument, most of the time, but washing the dishes. Driving the car. Playing with my kids. Walking the dog.

So I can imagine how pervasive it could be for someone really focusing their life on music.

Natural talent, sure; but don't forget the hundreds of thousands of hours some people spend training their minds to the patterns of music.
The company producing the report you link appears to be the scam too:

http://www.ultrascan-agi.com/public_html/html/about.html

"Ultrascan AGI is a subsidiary of Ultrascan Research Services, an international research organization with over 3200 experts in 69 countries."

But in the report you link, made in 2014, they have their statistics of "Yugoslavia" from 2008 and 2009, whereas the country with that name doesn't exist in the world since 2003 (that is, more than a decade) easily verifiable online.

I wouldn't be surprised that behind the "organization with 3200 experts" is only one or two persons.

Edit: and here they are, possibly using the fake names, doing scams too:

http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/texas-c466991.html

"People, please be aware, globalinvestor.com IS a scam. It's just a website with nothing legitimate behind it.
The person behind it allegedly is a 'Max Becker' who writes on his Linkedin profile that he is the CEO. He also writes to be the CTO of a company called Ultrascan Advanced Global Investigations. The person behind Ultrascan is Frank Engelsman. He is Dutch and does exist. Ultrascan claims to help victims of 419 (Nigerian advanced fee fraud) but that appears also to be a scam."

http://www.scambook.com/report/view/115492/Economic-Frauds-e...

"I was scam by Global Investor Alerts for $37,000. Exact same modus operendi as Economic Frauds. I do some research and I find other company with same modus operendi Ultrascan IGA website http://www.ultrascan-agi.com/ Take a look. It look like it is abandoned since 2010. The owner of Ultrascan company is Frank Engelsman from Holland. Then came Global Investor Alerts alias name now Max Becker now it is Economic Frauds.

Max Becker tell me the same thing. How he can get my money back from garbage stock I buy, called ALLI, and he already help a lot of people. So then I send in my documents. Then he say it is class action with many others and ALLi do a fraud.

Always a story to send money again and again. Then I am suspicious. I try to get address to go see Max Becker and no more answer. Ultrascan, Gobal Investor Alerts, Economic Frauds all have no address. Only telephone to take your money."

The idea that someone has no social skills because he doesn't ace in a highly contrived situation which has no correlation to the way he will communicate in his job later is pretty weird (Do you hire engineers/developers or high-stake, high-pressure negotiators, e.g. diplomats?). As is the idea that you should optimize your hiring process for what people do "most of the time". You want to optimize for what is MOST IMPORTANT about their job. If I need someone who goes to customers I wouldn't select for people that can drive Formula 1 cars efficient, even if it happens to be the case that they are driving most of their work time.

I've also found the lack of parametric polymorphism a huge pain point.
