Ask HN: What do you think about idea of API for managing digital coupons?
Hi everyone,

I'm delighted to share rspective’s (http://www.rspective.com) latest little venture which I've really enjoyed.

We've been working away on the landing page and product idea for most of the last week, so it's awesome to be able to keep working on it and having got the "launch" out of the way.

We want to make another step in iterating to keep defining this product idea. Therefore, please check it out and let me know your feedback, you're always awesome - http://www.voucherify.io .

What do you think of our idea?

Were you able to find the information you were looking for on our website?

Did you find that information valuable?

Why have you decide to review voucherify.io?

Thanks in advance for your valuable feedback!

I don't do anything particularly serious, but I always shot my drone footage at 720p. It's quicker to copy onto my PC and quicker to upload to YouTube, and YouTube doesn't give you significantly higher quality on 1080p than 720p anyway.

Ya but then isn't it pretty logical that people use a browser extension to get around buying subscriptions that are priced artificially high to protect a soon-to-be-obsolete revenue stream?
Maybe people feel that people should only avoid paywalls in a random and haphazard way, and not a systematic way, or that people should avoid paywalls whenever they want but not make it convenient for the general public to do that?

Is there a name for ethical notions related to whether people make a habit of something, or whether people help make something convenient?

I think it's unlikely for a while. Content businesses are historically tough sells for VC investment. They've become more common in recent years, e.g. Vox, Bustle, etc. That's in large part due to the maturity of the advertising technology ecosystem which has made content more scalable/programmatic.

We're no where near this point with audio yet. Podcast ads still sold by human agents, burnt into episodes in the form of live reads. It makes for attractive lifestyle businesses and some companies have bootstrapped impressively, but it's hard to see sightlines to a billion dollar plus startup.

I think you could see investments in platforms, a la Sound Cloud, or podcast AdTech, but we'll need to see more growth in the medium on the scale of Serial to make it a reality.

Full disclosure, I work for a VC firm that was featured on the first season of the Startup Podcast.

It uses the functionality of the "I feel lucky" button. It will only work if the site has been indexed by Google, but that's usually the case with news pages that show such fake paywall messages.

It significantly predates the C++11 standard.

Most of the smartpointers in the modern C++ standard weren't official until TR1 in 2003; even then, a lot of compilers took a long time to catch up. Prior to 2003, the only smartpointer in the C++ standard was std::auto_ptr, which had some really unpleasant semantics.

There were two basic choices: go with a smartpointer library like Boost or Loki, or go with the Boehm-Demers-Weiser GC. The GC route was pretty easy and minimal pain, while Boost and Loki were moving targets. A lot of places went with the more stable BDWGC instead.
I had an employer that forced us to use a shift planning app for clocking in and out.

Not that we did any shift work, literally none, and 95% of people worked in the office, but the app was such that you couldn't clock in or out without having your GPS on.

The only reason to force us to use this was to make sure we knew we were being watched and that we weren't trusted.

It was insane.
Probably leftovers from development phase.

I can't decide if this is a misplaced Onion article, or I just read wordvomit from one of the most insipid people on the planet.
I agree with most of this, but "concessions for low-income housing" don't actually achieve the goal of making housing more affordable, because they penalize developers for developing.

The effect is to redistribute a small quantity of housing to the lucky poor--and I mean "lucky" because the waiting list for affordable housing in NYC is years long--without voters really feeling like their wealth is being redistributed. But I live here and $3000 is redistributed from my bank account every month; unfortunately, it is redistributed to a rich landlord rather than the deserving.
Thanks, this worked perfectly

Wow. I really thought that screen shot was from IE8 or IE9. I didn't know they still had their back and forward arrows like that. It looks so bad in my opinion. I had to downgrade to IE9 at work for certain tasks and mine looks the same. Normally I just use Chrome though.

You won't regret it.
I truly don't understand the snarkiness of the posts here. FiftyThree have created a beautiful, useful app, and kept things clean and simple. Who cares if they're promoting it with a video as polished as the product? (The video itself obviously strikes at thematic concerns of buyers and typical use cases for designers, so while it's lost on you I suspect they know exactly what they're doing)

Some context:
I spent years working in graphic facilitation and working closely with clients creating mockups in real-time, both on paper and on whiteboards. The "speed-of-thought" attribute being referred to in the video is critical, because the conversation will move with or without you. Apps like this are exactly what I wish I had at the time, so I for one am excited to see this launch.
obviously this is a less general approach; but i'd think the software could detect with reasonable certainty when it's subject was suddenly covered by snow.
> Nobody lives in these condos for the most part. They are money laundering/tax shelter vehicles for the uber-rich, especially foreigners.

If that's true, then why should they pay higher taxes? If they're not actually living in the community, they're not using services. Seems fair.
While I don't disagree with you on the perceived unfairness of a lack of overtime, it could be argued that my base salary is higher than it would be if I were only available 8 hours a day before OT kicked in. Not saying I agree with the statement, but it's an argument to have for sure. I certainly make much more at this job than I did at any job where I got overtime, mainly because the kind of jobs where you aren't exempt are usually low skill/low pay.

>And buyers are paying only a fraction of that fraction in property taxes.

This just in, you don't pay 100% of your home's value in property taxes each year!
This already exists in most elite social circles, albeit informally. A shared realtor, you happen to own a yacht slip next to someone at St. Barts, serendipitous private jet flights, etc. etc.

When everyone you know owns 3+ homes and would be able to easily cover any sort of damages that they cause people are much more willing to loan out keys and open their homes, especially when they aren't there.

I'm nowhere near that level of wealth, but I've been more than fortunate to be invited on some trips that follow this pattern. I've even heard from the horses mouth how someone literally spent two years after college traveling across the world, staying in nothing but her parent's friends' apartments/condos/houses with other socialites. You can get real deep into social psychology with this, but the social rules are different for people with such socio-economic standing. Money/assets are no longer dominant social currencies (and thus more willing to be risked)... it's more personality, looks/style, and tangential social connection.

i.e. I care a lot less that you drive a Ferrari and a lot more that you can get me into X social event through Y connection, or that you can give me good advice on popular art. Gotta keep up with the Jones' somehow, and when everyone has too much money you have to find other social signals.
Traditionally the split was 100/0 (man/woman)

I feel like there's a healthier (both physically and economically) balance somewhere around 50/50.
Regardless of form-factor the military is the primary player in the drones industry. The vast majority of operations and spending are classified.

I was walking down Hollywood Blvd one day when they suddenly shut the street down for about 5 minutes to do a fly-by RC helicopter shot. This was a few years before lightweight drones and cameras were on the market and this helicopter reminded me of a flying lawnmower! As it whizzed by me and thousands of other people, I was pretty sure it could easily have taken off a limb.

I have a fairly cheap drone with a built-in camera and, no doubt, it could cause a scratch or bruise if it hit you at full speed, but luckily it's nothing like they used to be.
Theoretically, you can, as long as any secrets within the response body are represented as a "literal" (that is, uncompressed) within the compressed stream.

In practice, there isn't a way I know of to mark the relevant parts of the response body so that the compression, which is usually done as a separate post-processing step, will know to avoid compressing these parts of the stream. And it would be very fragile; forgetting to mark a secret as "do not compress this" would work perfectly fine but reintroduce the vulnerability.
I suppose that adding a small random bit into the page could defeat this known-plaintext attack?
My C is a bit Rusty, so I'll say that they follow http://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#noalias which says

I'm not sure if they just mean 'similar' or if it's actually exact.

If you alias, you might break, as optimizations will assume otherwise.

Oh, and `&mut` pointers are safe to use, not unsafe.

But they don't even need to do that, in this instance.

The article stated $17k tax on a $100M (market value) condo. Assuming the buyer pays in cash, the property retains its value, and ignoring the condo fees, that person is paying $1417 a month for the option of living in one of the most prestigious places in the world.

I'm not an expert on housing costs in NYC, but that seems like a pretty good deal.
seen too many teams that great companies get acquired and the founders disappear slowly, as upset with company politics .. very often a great product will die slowly.
Interesting. What are your thoughts on the costs of dependencies? What about toolz makes you hesitate to depend on it?
A drone could detect loss of communication with the pocket device (snow or falling into the ocean should be enough to do that) and start some recovery/emergency sequence. E.g. stop + try pinging the device, if there's still no reply automatically call 911 with an emergency and GPS location. Is there a 911 REST API? :)
I agree. Paper is wonderful and this new whiteboard app looks fantastic. IMHO the work of 53 is as good as it gets. Yeah the video seems overblown - but try the products they are great.
Yes!! Much better than a parachute, that needs altitude to work.

They are using space that could otherwise be occupied by others. Doing so would reduce pressure in the housing market and increase the productive density of the city. Part of the point of property taxes is to encourage productive use of space - if the value you're getting isn't enough to cover the property taxes, you're incentivized to sell to someone who will use the space more productively.

Also note that of course the owners are deriving a great deal of benefit from city services, both directly in that they are counting on the NYPD and FDNY to keep their property safe, and indirectly insofar as the whole reason these apartments are valuable in the first place is that NYC is a world-class city where many people desire to live.
Haha very nice solution
Taking is not zero-sum. Virtual existence does not disqualify ownership or rights. Content is intangible but still carries value, the same way millions of people can have a copy of a song but it is still property.

Receiving that value in the form of content without compensation, either by viewing ads or paying money, is still "taking" it against the wishes of the provider.
Maybe you can send it ahead of you and instead of following you it just shoots as you come towards it?

My quibble with your assertion is that if property taxes were higher it would also hit the lower income citizens as well. Those property taxes would just be passed along as an increase in their rent.

Also it isn't the low income who are being taxed to death it is those who "middle class" who are subsidizing everything. Effectively only 50% of those who file taxes actually owe any taxes.
"This temporary fork enables Node.js to optionally use the Chakra JavaScript engine on Windows 10, allowing Node.js to run on Windows on ARM." (the submission title has been updated after I posted this, was initially "MS releases a fork of Node that uses the Chakra JavaScript engine instead of V8")

Looks like they intend to merge back with node mainline... ?

EDIT: Found this: http://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2015/05/12/bringing-no...

They're doing this to be able to run Node.js apps on Windows 10 ARM (on which V8 supposedly doesn't run?)

"We will be submitting a pull request to Node.js after stabilizing this code, fixing key gaps and responding to early community feedback."

"Going forward, we plan to work closely with the Node Foundation, the Node.js Technical Committee(s), IO.js contributors and the community to discuss and participate in conversations around creating JavaScript engine agnostic hosting APIs for Node.js, which provide developers a choice of JavaScript engine that they would want to use in their Node.js workflow"

Looks like the pull request will consist mostly of exposing new hooks to integrate with Chakra / other JS engines and won't involve pulling any Chakra code into Node.js (which would be unlikely to be merged). Might lead to a SpiderMonkey version of Node.js at some point, too. Nice to see IO.js mentioned. Looks like a very positive initiative (assuming it doesn't complicate Node core too much)

One of the conditions required for a condo to receive generous tax breaks (which it passes on to the tenants) is that they build affordable housing.

>As originally designed, the program requires to allocate at least 20 percent of their units to low-income families, in return for tax breaks of up to 80 percent. It's a badly kept secret in Manhattan that the program is often used by luxury developers.

One57 used a popular loophole in the law that allowed the developers to take the tax benefit for the building overlooking the park, but fund the affordable housing units in another location. One57 bought credits or "certificates" that helped fund those affordable housing units in outer bouroughs, according to city records. [0]

This is all part of a misguided housing policy in New York that focuses on "affordable" housing. This results in housing that is below market and a few lucky people that get in. For instance, one new building that got a lot of attention for having a separate door for the subsidized tenants (dubbed the "poor door" by the media) has received 88,000 applications for 55 subsidized units. [1]

In my opinion, if the government wanted to subsidize the less fortunate, they should provide a cash subsidy for the individual to use as see fit. Forcing someone to take the entire value of that subsidy in the form of a housing credit is silly. For example, if you force developers to charge only $1000 for a $5000 apartment, you're essentially transferring $4,000 from landlord to tenant as a housing credit. I would prefer the individual receive $4,000 cash and be able to choose how to spend that amount, or somewhere in-between. I doubt most would use the entirety of that amount on better housing.
