Pretty cool. Signed up for beta.

It's difficult to provide feedback without trying the actual tool and you mentioned that the demo isn't the full blown tool. To fix that maybe you can think of providing the HN crowd with a code they can use to sign up for the beta instantly instead of waiting for an email from you.

For the 2nd point, is googling not helpful? As in, can't the user just Google for that stuff and buy it from eBay or whatever?

From what I have seen on PH, you are guaranteed best results if the person "hunting" the app is a PH poweruser or an influencer in general.

This is pretty common (albeit unorganized) in India. Would be helpful if a platform like this is used for organization/one stop shop kind of thing. Like others have mentioned, this might come across regulatory issues in the US. Maybe not so much in developing countries.

I don't get the hype behind bots? When are where was it proved that bots as interfaces can be successful?

Oh that sounds like a good idea. It's kind of like watching a movie. You don't see it unless you buy tickets or paying too see through other media.

It would be helpful to see reviews of the content before you pay for it, like we have rotten tomatoes or imdb.

That definitely sounds like an interesting idea

Correct me if I am wrong, but won't latency be an issue if connecting to a DB via an API? I would imagine that would be a deal breaker for most (especially for me).

So are you just providing an API and the database will be stored on your server? Or will users install it on their own hardware?

It's the same company - jetbrain.

I think PHPstorm, webstorm, etc are forks of intellij

Why didn't they do an audit before making the purchase?!

Mukesh Ambani really needs to go look at a dictionary and figure out the definition of a startup. You really cannot call one side project of a huge corporation like Reliance a startup.

Confused about the positioning (or is targeting a better word?). Why only nerds? From the looks of it, anybody can use the app. Or only "nerds" know about Markdown?

You should go talk to someone professional about all this. It'll definitely be helpful

I can't get your website to open up. Shows up completely blank

So you judged a whole country after visiting a single city?

>one step away from Taliban

Really? I mean, really?

I would expect this kind of bullshit in maybe r/worldnews but not in HN.

What if you are not there to explain your "magic" (which is just another word for clever here)? I get useful abstractions, but if your code has reached a point where you have to explicitly explain what your code does to fellow programmers, then you should probably revisit it and make it better. If your code is clever but not readable, go back and make it readable.

Wonder why you were downvoted

Their fees will probably cost you more money than the money saved from tax loss harvesting. Betterment is just investing in Vanguard funds (not all of it, but definitely a few). You could spend a few days and research investing using Vanguard, but if you'd rather not do that and are willing to absorb their fees, than Betterment is a brilliant choice.

If you want to understand the basics of passive investing, The Bogleheads Guide To Investing is a brilliant book.

Ideally this (expensive student loans) shouldn't even be a problem that requires solving. But the situation is what it is and this sounds like a decent solution to help ease stress on your employees.

Ah this is great. Would love to use it.

I recently started following a stricter version of my daily schedule and was thinking about placing dash buttons around my apartment to record how well I have been following said schedule. This might be help in setting it up more easily.

"Total disaster" sounds like hyperbole. None of the bullet points justify that description. It might not be as successful as Google might have hoped, but they probably had the appetite for such a risk.

This is really cool. Would love to use it in a project

>There’s a lot we can glean from data — a student’s learning progress, their habits and their strengths across a curriculum. But there’s so much more that’s hidden from view.

What's hidden from the view? Can you give examples?

This is rich coming from Uber.

I am not completely sure,but does this help do the same thing as heap analytics (auto capture of events) or do you still need to specify what events to track and this script just provides utility methods for the same

>Another customer service worker I’d talked to from a big software company decided that if she wanted to stick around the Bay Area, it was time to teach herself to code.

Just curious. Is that going to help her get a job in Silicon Valley while competing with grads from top schools for the same jobs?

Very informative post!Thanks for taking the time out to write this.

Will you be able to share the ratio of companies that took part in YCF remotely vs moving to the Bay area?

Most audio streaming apps have terrible UI across platforms. Spotify and Saavn are the only ones that are satisfactory and useful and I end up sticking with those.

I am ready to not listen to artists I like if they're going to make me jump through hoops and cause frustration just to listen to them.

Link is wrong.

What does "API" mean to you (or originally meant) vs the hijacked term?
