ReedJessen··on AdNauseam – clicking ads so you don't have to
This is one of those times I just sit down and think: "Damn... such an obviously good/bad idea".

I am really proud of humanities ability to be creative.

ReedJessen··on Project Cybersyn
It seems hubristic to think that you can develop a software application to manage the entire economy.
ReedJessen··on Show HN: Spase.io – A new kind of planner
Seeing something that I am dreading physically "looming" in the distance would poke my anxiety button pretty hard.
ReedJessen··on Show HN: Yogi, Document Clustering as a Service
Very interested to see the direction this all goes. Good luck.
ReedJessen··on Show HN: Startup with no website - GuerillaClick@gmail.com
Wow. This is a sneaky idea. I love it.
ReedJessen··on A16z data: How much startup executives make in salary and equity
Paywalled.
ReedJessen··on FanDuel not honoring bet that would have paid over $82,000 due to line error
They will settle this for half.
ReedJessen··on Show HN: Design and Simulate Molecules in Virtual Reality
This is super cool. I am glad I live in the future.
ReedJessen··on Sketch2Code: Turn whiteboard sketches to working code
Dude, the robots are coming for our jobs.
ReedJessen··on Deep Space Network Now: Status of communications with our deep space explorers
What is the reason that "Wind Speed" is tracked and provided on this website. What does wind speed interact with communication between these antennas and the spacecraft?
ReedJessen··on JPL Open-Source Rover Project Based on the Rovers on Mars
The fact that this level of work is given away for free with the intent of making the world a better place makes my heart dance.

I am so optimistic for the future of humanity.

ReedJessen··on Masonite – The Modern and Developer Centric Python Web Framework
Any experienced python people have thoughts on this?
ReedJessen··on Ask HN: Researchers: What practical research hasn't been commercialized?
Thoughts on why this hasn't been commercialized?
ReedJessen··on Amazon device recorded private conversation, sent it out to random contact
I am very skeptical of this person's claim.
ReedJessen··on Sci Hub repository torrents of scientific papers
Is possession of these simple torrent files a copyright violation or does one have to actively download them to create the copyright violation?
ReedJessen··on Show HN: I'm Creating a GitHub Repo Quality Bot
True. But it's a helpful messaging touch stone to get people into the intended headspace.

That said, I agree the branding is a big off.

All that said, Great project, OP. Keep up the good work.

ReedJessen··on Show HN: I'm Creating a GitHub Repo Quality Bot
Yes, this. Presumably the best, even average, teams opperate on a voluntary basis. The "Enforcing" paradigm runs against this grain.

Alternative messaging while still communicating the same information might revolve around helping, reminding, checking. Hell, how about bumper bowling?

Very cool project never the less and I might implement with my team.

ReedJessen··on Twitter suspended our Open Data project's account and wiped all our followers
If I was looking for a sneaky way to get huge number of followers, this kind of sob story might be the way to do it. ;)
ReedJessen··on Ask HN: Which sites/platforms do you wish had an API?
I think some of those already exist but I might be misunderstanding your needs.

For example, here is the Amazon Reviews API: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/latest/DG/EX...

ReedJessen··on We’re sorry, and we’re not rolling out the fees change
Excellent apology. They are in a tough position.
ReedJessen··on Bacteria on the outside of the International Space Station
So... You found bacteria on your swab while orbiting the largest and only known source of bacteria in the universe and you think it might not be from that largest and only known source of bacteria? Bah!

click bait...

ReedJessen··on Show HN: Mockoon – mock REST APIs in seconds
I second this.

Also, exporting swagger as well as importing swagger may allow automating new version deployments on AWS API Gateway and the like.

ReedJessen··on Show HN: Mockoon – mock REST APIs in seconds
This is really cool. It's like the counterpart to something like Postman or Insomnia.
ReedJessen··on ‘This is crazy,’ sobs Utah hospital nurse as cop arrests her for doing her job
Sometimes, it's the right thing to do to allow yourself to be arrested if it's in defense of others. Especially those who can't defend themselves under you care.
ReedJessen··on Ask HN: What is the HN for quantitative finance?
LOL.
ReedJessen··on [dead]
I am somewhat up to speed on options. I know just enough to get the feeling that I am looking as something really insightful and valuable but I this site certainly doesn't go out of it's way to explain itself to me.

Anyone with more insight help me out to explain what I am seeing?

ReedJessen··on The Blockstack Browser: A Gateway to a New, Decentralized Internet
Any ideas about whether this is ready for someone to start a company on?
ReedJessen··on Amazon Echo Look
You have my upvote for distilling my ambiguous worries into a catchphrase I can repeat to my friends and family.
ReedJessen··on Amazon Echo Look
I really like how this product has SO MANY use cases but they have picked just one to go to market with. More will come later. But for now, it just helps you pick you clothes.

This is good because it keeps you expectations low so you will be pleasantly surprised when it does something else.

They did this with the Echo as well. It was just an egg timer at first and played music.

ReedJessen··on Biomedical companies bleed 500k horseshoe crabs a year
Interesting article. Never heard any of this before.

I am ever so slightly skeptical.

I wouldn't be surprised if this while article was a fabrication created as some social experiment to test was people will believe. "We bleed 1/3 of the blood out of HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of horseshoe crabs then put them back in the wild... and you have never heard about it or seen it happen."

This article just sets off my radar is a particular "April Fool's!" kind of way. Can't put my finger on it.
