Digging up and actively luring people and recording them are completely different things.

I think you misunderstood the post. What are you testing when you post your aws honey token to a public repo? This is meant for intrusion detection.

Is the source available somewhere?

Jmeter is free and has more features https://jmeter.apache.org/ Though I agree it might be overkill for simple use cases.

Spring boot is the dropwizard competitor for people who don't mind Spring magic. Jhipster is a project that uses spring boot to make the project setup pretty much as easy as in rails. https://jhipster.github.io There IS still cool stuff happening in the Java world

When VW lies about its emissions it's a big deal, the stock drops, the public is appalled, the media can't stop talking about it. When GS gets fined $5B it's just business as usual.

On the comment about sticky recurring revenue I think an important factor is the lock-in effect of having pretty much all your company's audit protection based on an app like Jira or Asana. How would a company that tracks git commits on the jira story level even move off jira?!

Project setup time with microservices really shouldn't be the issue. Build one template then use for all your services. Don't pick your framework because of setup time (plus I want to argue the differences are minor).

Spring Boot, Dropwizard, and Apollo all seem to try to do the same thing. They all seem easy to use, more or less opinionated with Spring Boot being the most opinionated. The one thing in Apollo I find quite interesting is the native integration of async-ness. Very nodeJs like but could also be achieved in Spring Boot or Dropwizard with Reactor. I do think Dropwizard would have been THE framework to extend here with some async sugar. But hey, developers love to build their own things.

And whose banks are currently releasing the names of tax evaders to every country that wants to know... Not saying that's in any way unjust but it does hurt Switzerland's reputation for being that anonymous safe haven.

No one is trying to determine statistical significance here! Why the negativity?

Who is saying that this is data? It's just an inspiring little anecdote. Even if he hadn't sold his company the time spent hustling to get it started might still have been more valuable than getting A's on those article summaries.

Hasn't there been one of these in SharperImage and Skymall for years?

"Although the mice continued to sleep normally, after 12 hours they showed a rapid improvement in mood and behavior, which lasted for 48 hours."

Does anyone know how we measure moods in mice? At first glance it seems like a very subjective exercise.

You'd be preserving a piece of history with many interesting pieces of thought on it.

$6 per piece is high for NYC if you plan on expanding here. You would do well here if you followed the seamless model and just provided the tech. Most of the time it is very difficult to understand dry cleaning staff over the phone.

How do you define failure?

I have an MBA with a BA in Economics but I work for a boutique investment bank startup where I taught myself quantitative finance, SQL, and now C#. The MBA provided a great framework. I did not get the MBA because I like to follow conventional wisdom. I thought of it more like an intro to a set of tools. At least in my MBA program they made us question everything. Case studies can be approached from many different angles and my professors were never looking for the right "conventional" answer.

Why is early startup life not my forte? Would you say that engineers shouldn't go to bars because they are socially awkward?

What "experience" do they bring to the table?

How do you know so much about federal and municipal taxes? HN is made up of people with such diverse backgrounds, I'm curious.

Cool, I signed up and will be there.

This is great. Do any HN'lers plan on going?

What's with this hostility on HN lately? Everyone has a choice to upvote or not and some people use upvotes as a way to identify with a response. I got the same vibes in the Instagram resume post yesterday. You are not protecting the quality of a community by barking at every behavior you don't approve of. This arrogance has been a turnoff lately. Maybe it's just me or I only come across the pessimistic comments.

This is a great way to find out if your girlfriend/boyfriend has a crush on a specific person. Sign up as that person, send this to your significant other, win/fail.

"By allowing you to forwarding all your support emails to a special address..."

By allowing you to forward

2 years ago I spent a summer in Kenya establishing reforestation projects with local schools and many families already owned a car battery and a cheap solar panel as well as one cell phone per person. This is not a new development.

The problem is that success and money are not the same. There might be a parent that made a lot of money taking stupid risk. The education that the child gets from the parent isn't worth anything and he will have to burn through a lot of money to unlearn the things his parent taught him. Therefore he could use the large inheritance.

Even though people are rich doesn't mean they are smart. Survivorship bias

I just moved to Manhattan. More like $1/lb for wash and fold.

7)Having a local farmer's market deliver a basket of fresh vegetables to you every two weeks.

It gets transported in bulk in containers that maximize the amount that can be transported on a truck. I think it's fair to say that the amount of gas used per bottle of toothpaste is probably less when transported in bulk.

Not sure about all the downvotes, I'm just trying to discuss possible negative effects. I usually just downvote when something is off-topic or someone is being a troll.

Think about the environmental impact of having toothpaste shipped to your house on a UPS truck vs. picking one up at the store while doing your groceries.

I like the idea of Amazon Prime but I would feel bad just ordering some paper towels or toothpaste because I can.
