Tired of being what you want me to be, Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface, Don't know what you're expecting of me, Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow), Every step that I take is another mistake to you (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow), CHORUS:
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there, CHORUS: 
Become so tired, so much more aware, CHORUS:
By becoming this all I want to do, CHORUS:
Is be more like me and be less like you, Can't you see that you're smothering me?, Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control, 'Cause everything that you thought I would be, Has fallen apart, right in front of you (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow), Every step that I take is another mistake
to you (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow), And every second I waste is more than I can
take!, CHORUS:
I've become so numb, CHORUS:
I can't feel you there, CHORUS:
Become so tired, so much more aware, CHORUS: 
By becoming this all I want to do, CHORUS: 
Is be more like me and be less like you, And I know, I may end up failing too, But I know, You were just like me with someone disappointed in you, CHORUS:
I've become so numb, CHORUS: 
I can't feel you there, CHORUS: 
Become so tired, so much more aware, CHORUS: 
By becoming this all I want to do, CHORUS: 
Is be more like me and be less like you, CHORUS:
I've become so numb, CHORUS:
I can't feel you there, I'm tired of being what you want me to be, CHORUS: 
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there, I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Music is a service, not a productLook at Facebook or Myspace, how many people do you see complaining that those companies are worth billions of dollars? They just keep on using it.
The killer idea for music (and I feel for e-books as well) will be this: give the music away for free with (or without) DRM technology.
The money maker -- on the product, which doesn't make much money for artists anyways, will be selling advertising, but the real money maker for artists is touring anyways.
By giving away their music for free the artist will achieve three things:
1. Increasing their fan base by making the music much more accessible
2. Possibly make money by selling ads -- If LinkinPark, who is now independent, were to run ads on their website and then give away their music for free, you don't think that would generate ads -- imagine if Radiohead's web page would have had ads how much money they could have made when they released their music for 'pay what it's worth.'
3. Get your service out thereX again, music is NOT a product, it is a service. Look at the figures for Music Tours and see how they are rising, people will pay for this service because they want to hear music live, but if they already paid hundreds for their music player (you used to get a music player for cheap when it was CD's and Tapes) , why they should pay again for the music.
People are still not understanding the internet-- you have to give a reason for people to pay: people use Itunes not because they want to pay for music, but because it is so easy to put it on their Ipod.
They are paying for the ease-of-use, not really music as a product. 
,Ask HN: Have you met Emeri Gent?A fairly regular commenter on my blog, has dropped serious philosophical flow comments on some of my simple posts. I really appreciate his stuff and thought some of you may as well. Many of his comments are far more interesting than my original posts. Here's one of his latest comments:
One of the reasons 'Viktor Ovurmind' works for me is imagination and exploration. Today I added 'Rupy Yuan' into that future mix of my personal explorations, because it is good to try things and see where they fall, but this would be anarchy if it was simply a random event. So our imagination has to find the poetic and whatever that poetic is how we learn to escape structure and yet at the same time find new structure in the escape.
Many major innovations occur when people have gone outside their field of expertise and therefore appreciated a different way of doing things. An example of that would be Toyota creating a part of its core philosophy from watching how supermarket is run. Then there is simply stuff which is just off left field such as Einstein imagining himself following a beam of light.
Where I come often unstuck is premature conclusion and in arriving at a conclusion, I have killed off any possibility for imagination and exploration to work on me. Sometimes 'that working on me' can be a painful process and sometimes blind chance of serendipity. However it works is not for me to conclude but the moment I have arrived at a conclusion, I am working from that point onwards with dead ideas, or even ideas that might have found their way into my life simply through recency or exposure.
I look at music as a great example of a form of imagination that is based on a core of basic notes but which can proliferate into so many forms and different ways. That is why some people liken the move into the information space as the new punk rock or rock'n'roll of our time. It is then whatever way we put it together.
I think a reason why premature conclusion is more common rather than the birth of something new, is perhaps attributable to the way we preconceive what innovation should be. Indeed our society is obsessed with innovation to the point we probably kill the goose that lays the innovative golden egg. In my own pursuits I am apt to utilize different exposures to music as means of surrendering the logical and structures of reason, without expectation of a pay-off or a discovery. By not wanting something to happen, the opposite seems to occur.
Linkin Park is a good example of musical form which can stir my mind to take me away from the literate forms or any professional habit I have acquired that subjects me to a more fixed way of looking at things:
In Between

What I've Done
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzuo_UObpuA
Somewhere I Belong
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iCtpuQvydk
When I lay out this music in this way, I am simply appealing to the poetic within me. If there is nothing poetic within to resonate beyond regular behaviour, then I am wasting time and I should really apply to Walmart and live the rest of my days stocking shelves, but if there is an even a hint of the poetic to fuel exploration, then the output is pure imagination. When we try to forcefit someone else's formula or ideology or theory into something that we have not found within ourselves, then we are clones and imitators and there is no difference to this way of being than applying for a dead-end job.
Ultimately, the way we organize work, whether it applies due process such as agile or feature creep as described above, a new way of working is often just on the other side of the fence. One way of looking at work is how film is made. I am often left in wonder how a Hollywood film project costing millions of dollars can assemble a wide diversity of talent, find a common moment on their schedule, deliver a self-contained project and at the end of it, go off in their different merry ways.
Whether it is the infinite possibilities in music or the creative chaos of making a blockbuster movie, everything begins with imagination and exploration that is not simply a bus load of blog comments all tripping off a linear reaction of awareness. That is why my most stark suggestion is to ignore what it is I say but decide yourself what the fruits of your imagination will be.
That our thinking becomes relative is simply a courtesy, an etiquette and a respect which is an important dynamic of how we co-exist together, yet our imaginations are only limited to the extent we are able to handle the liquor of our own imagination and how we turn that fuel into a life worth living. If we cannot make that form of life for own given selves, we cannot do it for another - we can only give as much as we gain, and in imagination, it is how we approach this because it is central to our own DNA, rather than simply what it means or what its worth as an investment in drawing a premature conclusion.
One of the things I love about coming to Victus Spiritus is it provides a lot of white space that seeds my own imagination. I much prefer to observe my 'Emeri Gent' emergent form of writing as akin to a Mission Impossible tape. Having thought this, hopefully these ideas will self-destruct, but the residue of that is an intelligence called my own learning and personal discovery. Imagination therefore isn't something one can program, it is merely something one can develop by learning how to be generous in its movement and application.

,Ask HN: Swoopo like auction for musical bands?Hello Hackers, I see lot of musicians there so I would like to ask you thoughts about the idea which we would like to take into the life.
The problem : Musical bands are looking for additional revenue streams. They own the brand and could have thousdants of followers, which are happy to buy merchandise items.
Solution :
Our site should provide musical bands with additional money by auctioning for rare musical items like 'Drumstick signed from Dave Grohl', 'Dinner with Linking Park', 'Act in the Metallica video', 'Shirt of Britney Spears', etc.
The site should adopt swoopo like auction model. The reason is, that band can earn more money and rare item can be bought by fans, who are not the richest.
Do you think that it can work both for musical bands and also for fans?.

,Ask HN: Founding a Foundation (or Not)The gist: MIT licensed project, originally made for a still ongoing publicly funded research project, went wild and attracted a lot of attention & started getting some traction[0], with big names from the industry[1] coming on board and implementing my software in their workflows (link in profile). I'm now at a crossroad of choosing and setting out the direction of this endeavour: a for profit or non-profit foundation/org of some sorts, or both.
The dilemma: I think a non-profit most probably will not be able to absorb/attract enough funds to properly finance development, or it will come at a big organisational/political overhead (many small contributions, with high entitlement). A for profit entity may alienate the goodwill gathered so far and pressure fast profits, whereas my industry[1] is a conservative, stingy, legally-scared bunch that don't react well to sudden movements, though are more than happy with "slow and steady" change that they can own[2] first.
What to do? Where to look for advice? What's the best way for forward?
Appendix:
The project is successful because:
- part of the research problem required operating at scale, therefore it's not really write-once, run-once (to the best of my amateurish abilities).
- it's partly a political solution, not just technical. My industry has no significant OSS that it can rely on, using on mostly 1000/yr licensed software developed by a few big companies that strive to rope in more of their data & money.
[0] Traction = 200+ strong slack group that's rather active; interest, contributions & in-house implementations coming in from some of the biggest names in my industry (see [1] below).
[1] Industry = AEC, or architecture, engineering and construction
[2] Own = understand, grok, and potentially not pay for, etc.. 
,Show HN: My idea to help job searchers. Link inside.Good evening HN.
I have been building a service for a few weeks in Rails, partly to gain familiarity with Ruby on Rails, but mostly as it's the service I was looking for a few weeks ago and couldn't find. Some days I think it's a fantastic idea; it would have solved my problem a few weeks ago, so surely other would like it! On other days it feels pointless. I'm looking for advice and opinion from HN before I sink too much time into this.
A bit of background: I have just got a new job. I already had a job, so I was in no rush to make a bad decision. When trawling the various job sites and careers pages of companies I was interested in, the problem for me wasn't finding job that I was interested in. Rather it was narrowing down to the ones that I wanted to apply for.
I had (still have!) a huge mess of bookmarked jobs.
I tried to enter the job details into a spreadsheet to compare them side by side (salary/bonus/skills etc). This doesn't work.
I create a directory for each company that I like, which will contain:
 - Any info from the company (PDFs detailing the job, assessment work they ask me to complete)
 - CV, tailored for that position
 - Cover letter, again tailored for that position
 - Notes, detailing any contact with the company and anything that enters my head (I usually end up with a good list of questions for interviews this way)
This was the most frustrating part of the job search for me; I found it hard to organize digitally.
My idea is to simplify this process by allowing the user to give my site a URL (in most cases from a job site such as monster) and my site goes away and grabs all the data it can about the job. The user collects jobs painlessly this way, and can then examine them at their leisure - something I'm very much still working on. I used a very early version of my site during the last week or so of my job search, and found it to be extremely useful.
To illustrate my idea, I have put online a VERY scrappy version. In the future when the site is 'finished', most of the ongoing development would be in writing and maintaining the interfaces to the various job sites. At the moment they aren't my focus as I have a decent base of data to work with; as such they have fallen into a state of... disrepair. As such I have only uploaded the monster.co.uk interface, and it isn't in that great condition. The following link is worth copying, if you paste it into my app it will serve as a good example, though feel free to play with any other links!

Again, this isn't supposed to be an MVP! I am simply offering a peek into my idea! Is it worth pursuing further? I hope I explained it well, I'm no writer :)

Thanks for your time.. 
,Ask HN: Has anyone else seen this Facebook phishing attack?Take a look at this: http://www.facstatim.com/login/clien.php
I've been getting a strange notification from some of my friends on Facebook recently. It says 'x has invited you to try 'update facebook security''. If you click that notification it takes you to a blank Facebook app which immediately redirects to the link in this post.
It is clearly a clone of the facebook session timeout page and is designed (as far as I can tell) to harvest users/passwords and spread itself. After you enter a user/password (even fake credentials), it redirects you to another page to take your credit card.
My friend actually fell for the first part of this and some of his friends have now been sent the notification.
I'm not sure about how to report this sort of thing to Facebook but this particular attack appears to be very convincing since it's not at all obvious (to most people) that the target site isn't facebook.
I've had a look at the root of this particular domain and it appears to be completely harmless. Strangely enough, when my friend got the link, his was on a completely different site, so it looks like someone has gained access to multiple sites to deploy a version of this scam.
If anyone knows anything else about this I would be very interested to know more.. 
,Ask HN: Blockbain-based, global distribution system for space (big) dataHi all,
I'm starting a large, multi-disciplinary project (as part of ISU SSP16 [1]) to develop an architecture for a global distribution system for big data from space. Currently, most remote-sensing data, astronomical data, etc. is stored in data silos around the world. A lot of the data remains unprocessed unfortunately.
With the wealth of data being downlinked from space every day, there's a pressing need for a new, global system for acquisition, storage, processing and distribution. We're aiming to develop a system that is replicated, resilient (i.e., no single points of failure) and verified.
One of the ideas we want to explore is using the blockchain to distribute data globally; an idea that others seem to be looking into [2]. It's quite an attractive prospect to have a fully decentralized system that is independent of any centralized clearinghouse for data distribution. The main objections for space data seem to be related to privacy and national security. The data is also highly varied/unstructured.
Since my knowledge of blockchain technology is limited to a cursory overview, I was wondering if the HN community could help me get insight into the following questions:
1. What are potential technology limitations that would restrict use of the blockchain for management and distribution of big data?
2. Since I assume that the data can't be stored directly in the blockchain, is there a way to store the data reliably elsewhere and utilize the blockchain for decentralized registration/lookup?
And finally, as part of our survey:
3. What would you use space data for?
Thanks in advance!

,Design your dream DVCSIt's clear many people have issues with Git's commands [0][1] and there are dozens of addons to help simplify or extend (e.g. [2]).
So let me ask: what would your dream CLI look like? It's the part everyone uses every day, and no matter how good the technology it shapes people's opinions.
What would your interface look like?
Which problems would you solve with direct commands?
Which would be hidden away, with flags and switches required?
Bonus points if you can show your CLI to a manager/designer and have them understand it first-time.
For me, http://www.git-legit.org/ is heading in the right direction. I would have one standard workflow, so squash & merge, fetch vs pull, rebase branch or merge from trunk etc isn't an issue for new/casual users. Checkout would automatically stash new files and unstaged changes in the current branch. Users would have to copy those across if they wanted them (the less common scenario in my experience).
It would be easier to see which is the parent branch, and people would be warned before merging into a non-parent branch.
And conflict resolution would be smoother. I don't know how (I'm thinking something more visual) but I want it to be.

,Ask HN: do you want to enter YC Winter 2010 as part of my team?I have been thinking about the music industry since 2000 when the RIAA mounted a massive legal challenge against Napster and was eventually significantly altered and sold off by Shawn Fanning.
In 2003 I came up with a website idea and built it using the Xoops CMS, which if it were further developed in a custom manner (and also funded) would've resembled the functionality of MySpace for linking fans with artists, and been more comprehensive.
Right now I am seeking two US-based co-founders who'd like to apply for YC funding 2010. I am now in Israel and plan on being the remote cofounder. First and foremost a technical lead is required.
Potential cofounders may be developers looking for a great project, or existing teams of two or more wanting to (with myself) continue working together in such a manner.
I do not feel overly compelled to enter YC, but feel it would be a great process to maximize the likelihood of real industry change and provide great relevant learning.
I am ready to fill out the entire YC application. What's missing are team mates.
My idea focuses on optimizing gig creation and I have experience in this field... I don't want to say too much. I have registered a couple of domains already.

,Ask HN: Could OS vendors / regulators fix Universal Linking?I have done extensive work on inter-app linking and it is excruciating dealing with the efforts of Facebook / Insta and Google now with their gmail webview, to interupt you leaving their apps.
I understand that they would try to call it a user experience feature, but it really makes universal links a hack that often require intermediate websites and detection tricks to work.
Could / should OS vendors (like apple and android) not enforce respecting the links. And if not, should competiton regulators (thinking both EU / US) potentially force apps to respect universal links and user default apps etc. It strikes me that the behavior of intercepting links which are a key part of the (particularly) mobile competition space could be seen as stifling competition and anti-consumer.
I am interested if anyone has any suggestions about how we could better push for movement on this issue, because the current behavior is really poor and only favours companies like FB looking to try and force users to remain in their apps at the expensive or a functional mobile ecosystem.
If you dislike universal linking I'd also love to know why?. 
,Tell HN: A case of negative SEO I caught on my service and how I dealt with itRecently, my service https://next-episode.net experienced a huge drop in Google rankings. As I've been running it for more than 15 years, this is far from the first time this has happened. Usually I've been able to attribute big fluctuations (positive or negative) either to something I did, a Google algo change, or some external factor.
For example, about 2 years ago, something similar happened. While digging through my Search Console I discovered that Russian websites generated thousands of links pointing to a page on Next Episode with pornographic keywords used as link anchors. This was so effective that they managed to get those keywords to the top of the "Top linking text" in Google Search Console - naturally (most likely) resulting in drop in rankings for the regular keywords and the domain in general.
About a week ago, while trying to investigate the current drop in rankings and browsing through my "Latest links" external links export from Google Search Console, I noticed something funny. There were thousands of links in there (from 3 domains) following the same structure as on Next Episode: domain/show-name domain/show-name/browse domain/show-name/season-1, etc.
Following these links revealed something even funnier: all of them displayed content directly from my site! Not even scraped/cached content - they were dynamically pulling content from my server and displaying it on their domain. Even the search worked, the news archive and the top charts. Here is a list of those domains as an image: https://i.imgur.com/PjNKh0b.png. I've since blocked their access, so opening any of them will not show my website right now, but here is how it looked: https://i.imgur.com/HBiL3yh.png
Now, my first thought was that those were maybe scraping the content as part of a link farm (to spam with ads?), but I also wanted to know more. I experimented with Google searches that included pages from my website, like "Hot Shows - Next Episode" and ones with very specific news posts subjects like "Streaming Services Availability added to Episodes and Movies" (posted in September last year). Imagine my surprise when I discovered that not only the domains above were indexed by Google (and were listed in the Search results), but there were 4-5 more domains that did the same thing and some of them even outranked mine!
Here is a full list of domains that I discovered by searching for my news posts subjects: https://i.imgur.com/dAm1CzI.png. If you Google for site:domain.com you'll see some of them have thousands of pages indexed by Google. Trying out more keyword searches, I was also able to discover these domains: https://i.imgur.com/s5YjJWK.png (as they've cached the content, they still work). Those all seem to be part of the same operation, but they serve a different purpose - they have only scraped the home page of Next Episode and all their links point to inside pages on the other domains. I suspect this is to generate incoming links to the other domains and give them some credibility.
As with the links with adult keywords text anchors mentioned above - I suspect this whole thing is a negative SEO campaign - I don't see any other reason for it to be happening and it seems to be achieving its goal. Once I found all I could find about the domains involved in this, I took some action:
1) disavowed all those domains through the Google disavow tool
2) investigated if I could redirect their pages to mine (as they were dynamically pulling the content - I could change it to whatever I wanted). I managed to make it work through JavaScript (though interestingly, it had to be obfuscated as they were doing some sanitizing when pulling my content and replacing strings like "window.location.href" with "window.loc1ion.href"), but in the end I decided against it and:
3) I blocked their IPs through CloudFlare (all Russian IPs). An interesting thing here is that once I blocked an IP, the domain would somehow automatically switch to another IP to pull my content from, but once I blocked like 10 or 15 of them - they seem to have run out of IPs and now they stay blocked.
I looked for a way to report those domains to Google, but as of today, I've not found the place to do it. Does anybody know? Today, about a week after I blocked the domains that pulled content from my site, they still have thousands of my pages indexed in Google and are ranking better in some search results than me. I'm guessing with time, Google will catch up with the fact they don't show any content anymore and will delist those pages.
This whole thing was very new to me so I hope it'll raise awareness that this is going on and maybe help someone else catch it happening to their website. I'd appreciate any feedback on this and I'm around if you have any questions. It would also be interesting to hear about anyone's related experiences. Cheers!. 
,Tell HN: I was tired of being a perfectionist so I built an app within 24 hoursLike probably many of you, I'm kind of a perfectionist coder/creator. Recently I'd been bookmarking interesting dark mode sites just because I liked their aesthetic, and because for some of the SaaS I want to make, I wanted to make it dark mode first rather than light mode like most sites, so I was looking for inspiration.
I'd amassed around 20-30 and I told my friends about these cool sites yesterday. They mentioned that me linking to each one was kind of annoying and they wanted to see all of them at once, similar to how Awwwards and other web design inspiration directories worked. I thought a making a dark mode directory was a great idea as I could just link one site to my friends rather than bombarding them with links.
I'd previously worked on other projects but I always spent too long nitpicking every detail. It always took so long that I lost interest after a while and the project was abandoned, or I overengineered the site so much that I didn't even get to the actual app functionality. People say to build an MVP as soon as you can, but for certain people, it can be quite a challenge to constrain yourself.
This time I told myself I'd do everything in 24 hours, as it's not a super complex idea to create. I bought a domain off Google Domains, used Next.js to spin up a React site, and basically converted my bookmarks into a JSON file along with their titles and descriptions. In the React side, I read the JSON file and put the URLs in iframes with another container with the title and description.
One tricky part was that many sites block iframes, so what I had to do was save the entire website into its constituent HTML, CSS, and JS, and I displayed that instead in the iframe.
Overall, I'm happy that I was able to execute on an idea within only a day of working on it. It's not a monetized product or anything, simply a directory, but still, it was fun.
The site is: https://darkmodes.com (I was surprised that the .com domain was actually available!)
Edit: If the link doesn't work, try https://darkmodes.vercel.app, having some domain issues right now.. 
,Ask HN: Threated with legal action if I don't remove deep links to another siteHello HN,
I'm looking for some advice. I'll keep it short. There's a site called Skill Capped[1]. They have videos that help you get better at the competitive video game League of Legends. You can pay monthly for access to these videos. I subscribed and quickly found their site to be unusable. They have about 1000 videos which are organized into groups called courses. Their website has no search bar, and uses a single-page design with lazy loading. In practice means that CTRL-F in-browser search doesn't work (because of lazy loading and windowing/virtual lists), so there is absolutely no way to search the site without programming knowledge. The website altogether is very hard to navigate.
In response I created a thin wrapper around their site called Better Skill Capped[2]. It's a React web app with no backend. It has basic search and filter functionality. It also contains deep links to download the videos that Skill Capped offers which allows for me to watch in VLC and on my phone. It's very convenient, so I shared it with other subscribers. I don't monetize or plan to monetize the site in any capacity.
The owner of the site reached out to me and claimed that I'm committing copyright infringement by allowing anyone to click these links and access their videos without paying. All I do is link to the .m3u8 files stored on their server. There's nothing more going on. As far as I know this is completely legal.
While I don't wish for my site to be used to circumvent paying for their content, I also don't believe that I'm doing anything wrong here. I want to provide a better experience for those using the original site, and a download button is a part of that.
So, in summary, is deep linking to a video hosted by another site at all illegal? Is anything that I'm doing here illegal/immoral?

,Did I reinvent the wheel? (JS plugin to link to page selection)Spent quite some time looking for a JavaScript library that would allow me to select a part of a web page and send a link to that selection to someone else. I know there are scripts like AnchorJS that allow to deep-link sections and paragraphs, but didn't find any that would allow linking to a specific word, phrase or image.
So failing to find what I need, I wrote my own thing: https://github.com/iafan/LinkToSelection
Can't believe I'm the only one who thought about this — it seems to be super-useful for any documentation pages. Do you know of other implementations?. 
,Ask HN: Seeking [replacement] technical co-founder for music siteI launched a crowdfunding site for musicians last year with two friends/partners.
Both had their own consulting businesses/clients and were working on this project around their obligations there.
Wasn't ideal, but they were great programmers and I really wanted them to be involve (they were friends, local, one was a musician I had worked with - other such reasons). But in the past number of months both have had serious illnesses impact someone close to them.
In part due to those events we have missed numerous deadlines and opportunities. One of the guys is now out of the country dealing with his situation, and the other is quite strapped for time for the foreseeable future. To be honest from the day we launched things didnt go to plan. We launched around lunch one day, that night my wife told me she was pregnant with our first child; thatll test any bootstrapping plan right there!
We launched a MVP last year and got a pretty good response for a) what it was and b) our marketing - which was fairly limited to blogging and Twitter really. A decent number of blogs and sites covered us including Hypebot and even Billboard did a small write up (we had good local mainstream coverage as well). We had users sign up in Canada (where we're based), the U.S. and U.K.
And the site wasnt really that great, so we were happy. Then via being live we discovered some issues with the site that needed to be addressed. And decided we would revamp a good chunk of it based on feedback and knowing what our focus would be going forward.
So we started overhauling the site, including a complete visual redesign. And we have yet to launch this.
I have artists approaching me to work with them, others I am waiting to approach, a solid marketing plan that puts the focus on musicians and all the contacts required to make this work [self employed in music industry for past 7 years]. If we hit certain usage numbers, I have a sponsorship plan that should bring in some money as well.
There's only a few hundred Twitter followers right now but I can build from there easily (my own account has a couple thousand - many of whom are musicians/bands).
User/revenue numbers aren't great - but I also have not been promoting the site actively due to the issues noted.
I just need a fully working site and I know I can get this to a point that it creates some type of worthwhile return for those involved (that could be as little as a really good salary for the time committed).
FYI: Not linking to the site because a) not that great/happy with what is live now and b) rather show you the redesign in progress.
I am a big believer in the 37signals way of doing things, bootstrapping et al. 
Thus the offer is equity and up to 50% (vested) is available for the right programmer(s)/pair.
Ideally I would like more than one so if something happens to them I am not back in this position.
But the right person can convince me otherwise.
Site is built in Rails and jquery.
Besides being able to commit adequate time, if you have any start-up experience and are a musician as well those would be nice bonuses to bring to the table.
Now while you do not have to be a musician yourself, you have to definitely like music and believe that musicians deserve the majority of the rewards for the work they create.
Our focus is strictly on the musicians (which addresses one of our initial mis-steps starting with the focus on fans). 
Design/development decisions run through a filter: does/can this help musicians?
Mission = more money to more musicians
One of the programmers is working on cleaning up the code and documenting the development environment now. He estimated that a experienced pair of programmers could have the redesign+ finished in less than a month. That's with the next round of developments added beyond where we are now.
Beyond that I would be looking for troubleshooting and some ongoing development - I can clearly lay out some key needs in a roadmap once on board so you have a very clear idea of what is expected.
Again keeping 37signals in mind, the idea is to keep the service very focused.
While some new features are certain to pop up, ongoing one key will be automating the system as much as possible to help musicians save time and make better use of the service. One example of automating the service might be a feature that tracked whether or not bands took the time to thank supporters and created a to do/to email list of donors still in need of thanks.
The biggest question mark for development is the fan side of things.
If you would like more information I would prefer answer more detailed questions via email info at aquietrevolution com or we can chat on Skype a.quiet.revolution
Besides your questions, itd be great if you could share a bit of background on yourself and what interests you about this.
Thanks for reading.. 
,Idea: PayPal for Identity ManagementSomeone might have thought this up already, but if they haven't, this might be an interesting project for someone to do. Basically, the idea is to make the equivalent of PayPal, but for identity management.
For most sites, authentication consists of an e-mail / password combo. Some require you to create a user-name as well, but it's basically a proxy for an e-mail address. The problem is -- a lot of people don't really want to give out their e-mail address. (1) Spam. (2) Linking multiple accounts to the same e-mail provides lots of info for data-miners.
To deal with 1, many users already create junk-mail accounts that exist for the sole purpose of signing up for stuff. The problem is that sometimes you want to see SOME of the newsletters those sites send. Leaving them all in the junk account ensures they're buried under all the other stuff. Use your non-junk-mail account and you may not be able to undo the damage later (ever try opting-out of some of the spam messages? PITA sometimes). It also doesn't solve 2.
So .. why not create different e-mail addresses for each site you create an account with? Have them all forward to your real e-mail address. When you no longer want spam from a certain source, simply terminate one of the fake e-mail addresses. This would be a pain for a user to do for every single account they created, but an entrepreneurial hacker could create a service that automatically generated fake e-mail addresses, strong passwords, set up any forwarding, and allowed users to track and manage their login info on multiple sites. You would also have to write a browser plugin or something that looked for user-name/e-mail form fields and filled in the proper login info (it'd be unreasonable to expect users to keep track of all the fake e-mail addresses on their own).
Just as PayPal allows you to pay without exposing your actual financial information, this would allow you to login without exposing your actual e-mail address. Even better, unlike PayPal or services like OpenID and Windows CardSpace, it requires no change on the part of the actual sites themselves. It's all done on the client-side.
For the truly paranoid, you could potentially extend the idea by creating full-blown fake identities (with names, addresses, etc.) for each site you visited, but I suspect you would run afoul of the law here.
There's a lot of room of abuse, but I don't see any absolute deal-breakers so far. I'm busy with my own project right now, so if someone's looking for something to do, go for it.. 
,Ask HN: Robustly displaying information in a video (~4kb/s)I've got a tentative side-project with a goal to allow individuals to guard against deep fakes of themselves (think the recent attempts against Volodymyr Zylenskiyy). The idea is to have their speech recorded, encoded with something like codec-2 in real-time and then displayed in the video feed, with periodic signing of the last second or whatever, with that signature forming part of the data feed. Anyone attempting to do a deep fake would not be able to implement the signed audio information so the fake would be apparent. The device would take the form of a box with a display that is placed or worn in the field of view of the camera.
I think the system could be implemented with less than 4kb/s, which seems eminently achievable - something like 10 frame changes per second with 400 bits/frame. Even with a bit of forward error correction, you don't need many pixels to convey that information.
It all seems very plausible, but I'm not sure of the best way to implement the video encoding display. The issue is that a naive data display sequence is not necessarily conducive to efficient compression. For example, a series of QR codes would be inefficient from the perspective of a DCT based compression algorithm, and there would be no scope at all for motion compensation. The question then is whether any research has been done looking at algorithms suitable for this application. Something like a dynamic QR code. There are also subtleties in robustly handling distortions in the video.
I'd ideally not have to roll my own, though I have considered something using a basis that better maps onto a perceptual-based compression algorithm, such as a DT-CWT.
It might be that I'm overthinking this and just having a 25x25 grid of LEDs displaying a rapidly changing QR code would work just wonderfully.
As an aside, this is an area where the search engines fail me. I just don't know the terms, and the dominant return links are to ways of creating a QR code linking to a video or encoding algorithms for video.. 
,Ask HN: From Rust to Ruby?I know this sounds backwards, but hear me out: I _loved_ programming in Ruby, especially metaprogramming and building DSLs and had great times building small GUI tools with Shoes (and doing Rails 2/3 ofc).
Currently I am loving Rust, especially the typesystem, performance, statically linked binaries (= no docker needed at my job) and the tooling.
Seems that these languages are polar opposites... but I really want back the creative superpowers/aesthetics of using Ruby while also have checkboxes on the capabilities side of things.
Yes I tried Crystal, but unusable static linking is the showstopper here (need to share programs with other mac os users).
To all HN Ruby/Rust folks here: do some of you feel the same? Is there modern tooling around Ruby 3 to bundle apps statically, have some intellisense like rust-analyzer, code formatters like rustfmt/gofmt? Or reverse: is there a dead-easy GUI framework like shoes, or an easy way to create nicer DSLs/APIs or something that extends Rust to a ruby-like OOP/class system?
(I know this goes against many of Rusts philosophies, but sometimes things _are_ modelled most elegant with class hierarchies, especially when teaching less proficient developers... also why I loved Shoes so much, the feedback loop/hacky approach for new programmers was incredibly motivating.)
I don‘t know how to articulate it better (expressing feelings is hard for me), but basically I want Rusts capabilities but really crave Rubys elegance, especially the meta part (which is dreaded by others, I know). Or: I love _what_ Rust enables me to do, but miss _how_ Ruby did it. If you had the same dissonance before, how did you solve it?. 
,Ask YC: Mac software for organizing startup documentation/research?Hi,
I'm trying to find a desktop software program for Mac OS X that will help me organize the information in a few large investment projects I'm working on. Startup related. I know that mindmapping is a topic that has been discussed on YC before, and a few people have been kind enough to give me recommendations off-site already, but I wanted to get the 'wisdom of the crowd' about which tool might be best and also how others use these tools effectively. I looked at Circus Ponies' Notebook and a few other notebook apps, but now I'm thinking that mind-mapping software might fit my workflow better. I don't want a web-based solution, because some of the data is rather sensitive. The most desirable features for me:
1. The ability to ATTACH files (PDFs, URLs, .mpgs, etc.) to map branches...linking files would work in a pinch, but I would prefer to actually embed/attach documents in the map itself.
2. The ability to Show/Hide certain portions of the map when making a presentation. ('Here is the 30,000 foot view, and here it is in more detail.') Some apps call this subgraphs and some call it filters. Some apps seem to feature this as part of a more coherent 'presentation' mode.
3. The ability to link BETWEEN different maps, so that huge map files can be broken down into smaller maps and I can 'drill-down' into more detailed maps from a 'high-level' map.
4. Some type of outline mode, in addition to the map mode.
5. The ability to export to HTML...WITH the attached/linked/embedded files.
6. Stability and speed. No crashes/data loss/poky apps.
I'm currently evaluating ConceptDraw MindMap, Omnigraffle Pro, Novamind, and Mindjet Mindmanager.  Java solutions include: FreeMind, XMind, iMindMap, etc. I would prefer NOT to use Java-based software unless it is REALLY superior, because I've had bad luck with Java on the desktop (see 6 above.)  Any big fans of a particular application out there?   Any other suggestions for organizing a mountain of research notes and documentation?.
