SEEKING WORK - Remote (Paris, France - but can travel in Europe)

SaaS product specialist.

Do you need help turning your SaaS product idea into reality? I can help you with defining a MVP for your idea, and creating a prototype very rapidly. I’ve created MVPs that took literally a couple of days that were used to validate some pretty ballsy assumptions from the founders.

I’m used to working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and I adapt in consequence. I won’t bore you with technical details if you don’t need it, but can do it.

I can help you get to speed with the lean and agile methodologies, specifying your idea so that other developers can build it.

I work a lot with Python (often with Django) and Javascript. I’m a full-stack developer and can do web scraping or some complex backend stuff if needs to be, and I can do the HTML/CSS/JS stuff.

I’ve written a fair amount about SaaS free trials, pricing, user feedback, analytics and all things SaaS on my blog, several of which have been very well received (http://saasfoundry.io/blog). I know how you can start a marketing strategy and find your first customers.

Please get in touch! I don’t bite :-)

Well, good, because that is what I was going for :) I think most people don't care about the arbitrary wealth limit on these investments because they either 1) don't know it exists, or 2) know it exists, but $1M is such a far off magical number that it's easy to think almost nobody has access to it. If the number was lower, but still high, I think people would see it for what it really is, and be upset that they are prevented by the government from using their money as they see fit, especially as it is the same government which runs the lottery and allows casinos to operate.

Whether the salt is secret or not doesn't matter. If it's known that I salt passwords in the USERS database with the `uname` field, hashes for "workloginpa$$word" and "kasey_junkpa$$word" will look different, even though our passwords are the same. There's no easy way to compare passwords when they're salted, and that's the point to understand.

Yes, having a good hash in the first place is more important, but salting is right up there.
> Considering that each entry could involve a large number of AR objects memory leakage was very high.

Ah. I thought I was going crazy. Memory leaks in a managed language (i.e. one with a GC) are solely the fault of the GC implementer and cannot be fixed by the language user.

What is being talked about here is space leak.
RethinkDB - www.rethinkdb.com - Mountain View, CA - C++ hackers

We're making it dramatically easier for the world to shift to realtime apps with an exciting new database access model -- instead of polling the database for changes, the developer can tell RethinkDB to continuously push updated query results to applications in realtime.

We're hiring C++ engineers to work on performance, the continuous computation engine, and the distributed system -- http://rethinkdb.com/jobs/systems-engineer/

RethinkDB is fun, very technically challenging, well-funded, and is growing very quickly. Intellectually, we're also PL nerds (mostly Lisp and Haskell/ML), so if that's your cup of tea you'll be right at home!
Great suggestion thanks! People are always fishing out on the piers here. Yes we want to expand in other categories, for outdoors gear and even beyond! Our vision is to make renting anything as viable as buying it, in order to try to reduce unnecessary consumption and make our lives less cluttered.

The main problem (barring some fancy and probably patented new techniques) is that whatever gets sent over the wire from the client is a de facto cleartext password. If your system does the hashing client side and then stores that, an attacker with the login database can just submit the pre-hashed values.

To prevent this, you still need some transformation on the server between the login form and the database, which means you're back where you started.

Show HN: Securely Share Your Visual Product Roadmap
I like it, my thoughts while using the site:

1. How about a shopping cart or something to show what's in your order across the top?

2. Something that gives an idea of cost much earlier on for each item, even if it's just suggested.

3. How do you manage hygiene?, e.g. if a sleeping is delivered and it's musty/whatever - what happens, do I still have to pay?
How are things cleaned after use? Is there a deposit?

4. Other items for sale as well as hire, like charged power packs, a magazine or two?

5. Random game/sport items - frisbee, inflatable beach ball etc.

6. Jerky?

Following users works for popular culture and not much else. The head of Google search says "as the search engine gets smarter, the queries get dumber." It's not that useful even for product or service search - that just drives more traffic to sites that are already getting traffic. For a short period, Google tried using Google Trends to affect search ratings. That backfired badly; if someone could generate a lot of searches leading to their site for an hour, suddenly they went to the top of results. There were some very funny search results during that period.

As for URX, a company whose pitch is "Get paid to link into apps. It's not an ad, it's an action" probably isn't interested in improving search quality.

There's a big opportunity for Apple to move into search and offer a higher-quality experience for Apple customers. Apple makes their money selling to their users, not selling ads.

(Our pitch, of course, is to automatically do some due diligence on the company and use business legitimacy as an input to ranking. This works reasonably well, but for an ad-supported search engine, does not maximized profits. Adsense (ads on third party sites) is 30% of Google's revenue.)

> “Most of our streets don’t have road names so a lot of the addresses end up being very much next to some kind of landmark associated with it, and that’s how we give directions,” Urbina said. “There’s never been good maps generated to be able to get to where you’re trying to go.”

How does a country not name its streets? I just can not wrap my head around that very concept. Here in the US, we name hiking trails and put it on the maps.

Just to make it more meaningful, that's 6.258e6 m/s
(Earth escape velocity at the surface is 11.2 m/s,
Earth runs around the Sun at about 30 m/s,
Sun runs around the Milky Way at about 200e3 m/s).

It's not because B moves toward A at speed V, that B is attracted by A. Attraction should be expressed as force (given in N), or, given the mass of the attracted object, as an acceleration (given in m/s²). The speed of the attracted object is irrelevant. In general in the universe, attractions are approximately perpendicular to the speed of the attracted object! (orbits).

Right now, Earth is moving toward Sagitarius at the speed of 30 m/s. Does it mean that Earth is attracted by a big unknown force pulling it toward Sagitarius at 30 m/s? No! This is bullshit. Earth is attracted by the Sun with a force of 3.5e+22 N, which gives an acceleration of 0.006 m/s², both of which are perpendicular to the speed of the Earth with respect to the Sun!

Adrian Berry didn't report any observation that the galaxies are accelerated in the same direction they're moving to.

Amazon's April Fools
The problem is not the poor land use, it's the inefficient capital use!
I know Nicholas Carr can come off as an anti-technologist, but I think his perspective is important, and I think that some of his doubts about automation are warranted.

Automation bias, among other problems, is going to become more and more of an issue in our world, and it gets very little attention from this community, because it is probably impossible to solve in a scalable way without truly human-AI (which raises even more ethical dilemmas).
People have done it.

Few downsides that immediately come to mind:

- Some people run NoScript or have niche devices that mangle JavaScript (no login for you!)

- The client now has to generate the salt. So you'll want the client to be using a modern browser which supports window.crypto.getRandomValues(); (so IE 11 or newer)

- Low power (either electrically or performance wise) might struggle with the work factor and that might reduce the user experience (the browser might become unresponsive)

- Changing the crypto function is now quite annoying/work intensive. Effectively the client will now need to generate the old hash and the new hash, and send both. You'll need to check the old, check the new, and store the new if either are correct.

- There are some cross-site-scripting and forged request concerns. But those exist for all login pages frankly.

- You'll still need to do SOME work on the server to convert the raw client hash into a storable version (in case of compromise) so they cannot just re-send what is in the database for login (essentially the hash would be a plain text password for all intents and purposes). You could reduce the work factor, but not remove it entirely.

Essentially trusting a browser is a bad bet because too many browsers suck. I'd prefer to put my trust in a more known quantity, the web-server, even if it costs me a few cent in usage than do the extra dev', extra testing, and extra tech' support required to get browsers to do it.

Unfortunately there are still a lot of IE 6-8, Android 2.xx, and so on users who drag everyone down.

Haha, I also heard someone say "Living in SF is like living in the future." Ironically I'll personally say that there are plus sides and down sides to this "app for everything culture." But it's as bit long and philosophical, so I'll point you to a couple of posts I wrote:

"Stop making an app for everything" = https://medium.com/@bsemaj/stop-making-an-app-for-everything...

"Innovation: the virtuous cycle of efficiency and the vicious cycle of laziness" = https://medium.com/p/64d6b091c455

Raspberry Pi in space
South Florida (Boca Raton) - Vicinitas Cancer Care - .NET Software Developer

We are hiring our first software developer to help us build out the technology that our staff and doctors will use to support our patients. Our immediate need is the integration of various systems such as CRM, Patient Care Management, and financial back-ends. The interaction of these systems is critical to the efficiency of our patient-facing staff. Help define our development practices and future projects - including both internal and external facing endeavors.

We are a well-backed start-up of entrepreneurs and healthcare leaders who are working to change the face of cancer care, one patient at a time. Vicinitas is Latin for neighborhood and represents our model of making world-class cancer care available to patients throughout the country in a setting close to home. We bring a network of local oncologists and telemedicine-based integrative specialist together with a nurse care manager to provide tightly-coordinate care otherwise unavailable to the patients we treat.

This position will report directly to the Director of Technology (that's me!) and will be the third technical team member. We are only a few months old and looking for someone that is excited for this opportunity to grow with us. Join me in changing the face of cancer - VicinitasTech@vcc-hope.com

I wanted something really simple for this, so I wrote this:

https://github.com/skorokithakis/gweet

It has a streaming HTTP mode, where the connection stays open and data comes in as the clients send them. It works very well for remotely opening my house doors.
As others have mentioned the UI needs some work. Pop-up messages, not knowing what stuff costs as I'm adding, etc... Honestly if I was in the market for something like this (overall I like the idea) I wouldn't use this service since the UI is clunky. I would think if their website is this clunky, how clunky is the overall service going to be. Is my stuff going to be on time, will the order be correct, etc... IMO, building the website should be the simplest part of the operation overall. Nice idea, keep working on it. :)

3 simple steps to secure the data
These comments are very narrow-minded and hostile.

This is wonderful execution. It's really hard to create something that's so easy to use. Its API looks surprisingly elegant.

As for the use cases and UX, remember that there's many types of projects. This could be used in a way that helps the UX for some kinds of experiences.

Just because this would be bad for your work, or the sites you like to go to, doesn't mean it's not a perfect fit for certain experiences.

Kudos.
