Appreciate it. A lot of challenges, one of the most difficult that sticks out was building out the ability for users to track prices on a custom zone that they define (Sections 101+102, rows 1-4), and making it so that the price trend for this zone would show up retroactively (back to when the event went onsale), not just to "start tracking" prices in that zone once the user created it. There's a lot of cleaning of data that goes on for this, since different sellers might use slightly different section names for the same section, to ensure that you're including all the ticket listings that you should be.

Thanks! It’s definitely something a few people have mentioned, for now I’m keeping the focus on the public site and the experience there. I want to prove that it's viable as a consumer-facing product.

We're developing a new way to search for event tickets (concerts, sports, theater, etc). We've been in this industry for 15+ years and have the knowledge and domain expertise to be sure that we are building something that people want. We are fully self funded from other ventures in the ticketing industry. You would be the first non-founder full time employee, and would be responsible for building out the frontend of the site. You will be building things from scratch using the framework of your choice, and would be leading design decisions. You will have an exceptional amount of autonomy as well as a very flexible work schedule. You would be working directly with the founders, who will focus on building out the back end of the codebase (python/mysql). To apply, send us an email at data (at) getdatacorp (dot) com

I'm not the author of this tool, but I submitted it to HN because I just stumbled upon it after unsuccessfully trying to transpose a complicated cURL from Chrome devtools into python requests for a good 20 min. This worked instantly. Props to the author - https://twitter.com/nickc_dev

The source is at the link below. Its not 1 percent of startups but rather "1 percent of startups that raised seed rounds in the US in 2008-2010". There were ~1000 of those startups, of which 10 became unicorns.

Can someone comment as to what kind of payday this IPO translates to for say the 30th engineer hired by Snap? (I realize that this is impossible to answer accurately, and that there is still a 4 month lockup)

I'd say that a significant amount of founders of unicorn companies have not worked at a company that they didn't start themselves, so I don't see how that makes this situation unique/excusable.

No, that is $235B in JPY. It converts to $1.9B USD.

The article says that Pebble was offered $750M by Citizen in 2015. Is that realistic considering Citizen's market cap is (only) $2B ?

How much was the monthly bill ($) ?

Seems odd that ticketmaster would not have have been willing to purchase them for more than that (unless of course ticketfly didn't want to go that route, and was leaving money on the table).

"There are some 3,000 apartments under 400 square feet in Manhattan alone."

There's absolutely no way that is correct, it has to be off by at least 10x.

Can someone explain the rainbow-like colors? This is from the lenses/postprocessing/other?

If you live in a walk-up building and there is a payphone/hotspot on your block, would this actually allow you to cancel your internet and exclusively use this for your Wifi? (Article says 150ft range...)

Is this A/B testing for the other massage post on the front page? Or are you a different company?

Autonomous vehicles that can navigate city roads and do not require any driver behind the wheel are most certainly not 3-5 years away.

Taxi rate in NYC seems too low. I tried a couple of trips that I have taken dozens of times, and they have never, ever been as low as whats being calculated. I like the idea though.

So then pay by eCheck for the minimal/reasonable $2 fee. Why should you expect them to eat the ~3% fee that they incur should you choose to pay by credit card?

> I've seen 500+ concurrent but of course that is based on whatever Google considers concurrent.

Almost sure that it means at least one hit within the last 5 minutes.

Still does not look good -- Look how lightly some colors show in vertical lines (zoomed in 8x): http://i.gyazo.com/38415091f10db0cba694f55dcb3cbff4.png

That is absolutely incorrect. Heavy underdogs in the group stages of this world cup had frequently had moneylines of +1300 and higher (ex Netherlands vs Austrailia). There is NEVER an NFL game in a typical season where the moneyline (ie without pointspread) on the underdog will pay out that high. So, the is a much SMALLER likelihood of the underdog snatching a surprise win.

Oh no I would never use celery for that. It was just comparing the learning curve of celery to django.

Thanks for this, I had considered using celery for a recent project but ultimately backed away because I got the feeling it was more trouble than it was worth. As a point of reference would you say the learning curve for a celery setup is similar to that of django? Not that theres anything terribly hard about django, but Id agree that its probably overkill if youre relatively new to python and are just looking for a quick way to produce some html with no intent on developing it further.

>> That disqualifies a good 99.9999% of the world from being eligible to bid.

Yes, however it doesn't disqualify a single person/party who actually has the capability (and interest) to purchase the minimum block of 3,000 btc (~$1.5M dollars).

UberX is significantly (40%-50%?) more than a NYC yellow cab. Its basically $6 base for uberX (versus $2.50 for yellow cab), $.75/minute for in-traffic in uberX (versus $.50 for yellow cab). Also uber's threshold speed for traffic is much higher than NYC's (below 11mph = traffic for uber, vs below 6mph = traffic for yellow cab), which means that more often than not you are in this (more expensive) price tier. Its hard to average over 11mph if you are going cross town in Manhattan.

The root of the problem is that with the current setup, theres a huge 'luck factor' into whether or not your Show HN post most makes it off of 'New' and onto the first page. Its often 1 or 2 votes that can mean the difference between a post reaching the front page where it can then go on to recieve double/triple digit upvotes, versus remaining on 'New' and only getting 2-3 votes (in which case someone searching 'Show HN' thinks to themself 'well that post must not be very good, since it has so few votes'.

Of course the same could be said about news articles, however people dont spend hundreds of hours writing a news article (in fact it's rarely even the poster's work at all). While it would certainly be unwise to rely on a Show HN post as the sole means to launch your project, it certainly one of the top 5 traffic generators when you are just getting off the ground, and it sucks when your thread falls into obscurity because you didnt get that one extra vote to move you off of 'New' onto the first page.
