Ask HN: I'm 17. Should I drop school for YC S12?I'm extremely interesting in applying to Y Combinator for this summer. The only problem is that I'm still in Cegep (a two-year college for Quebec students before they go to university - I'm 17) and so if ever I get chosen, I still have one more year remaining to complete my program (International Baccalaureate in Pure & Applied Science).

I don't think I would drop it, because I ultimately intend to go in computer science at Stanford. Therefore, I would have to leave the Bay Area at the end of August in order to move back in Quebec and stay there during the year and come back in the summer when I'm finish my program.

I would still have time to work on my startup during the year, but at a much lower pace (2-3 hours each night and 8-12 hours on weekends). The other guy on my team (he's 17 too) is in a much less intensive program then me and he could continue working almost full-time on the startup.

Yet, if you guys tell me that I would absolutely need to continue working full-time on my startup, I will consider dropping school more seriously. It would be hard for me, but if it's really necessary I could do it. The thing is, the program I'm currently in, International Baccalaureate, is a program that I must complete in two years. The special thing about this program is that we are the same group for every class (we started 40 now we're 28). If I drop/fail a course, I'm out. And I then need to go in regular science. If ever I were to be selected for YC, the choice would be quite hard as I said, because I really enjoy my program, I'm fond of the other students and I appreciate the teachers a lot. And I also fear that I won't go back to school if I enter the startup world.

At least, I'd like to finish my program and then maybe take a break from school to focus on my startup. My program requires a lot of effort, it's considerably more challenging than regular science, and I just don't see myself dropping it when I'll be halfway through it, but still there's a lot of chance I would - it's 50/50. I'm constantly debating in my head whether I should drop or stay, but I guess I'll wait to see if I'm selected for YC to make a final decision. Ultimately, I feel I would drop my program, because YC is such an amazing opportunity and also because I have a very good co-founder who is a long-time friend of mine. He would definitely succeed in convincing me :P

Moreover, I'm the only one writing code. My co-founder (who's currently studying in Business Management) will be working on the marketing (posting on the blog, making videos showcasing the app, posters in schools and other places, talking with other companies so that they use our app, etc.) I also have a graphic designer that will not be directly involve in the startup but that will do my logo and help me design icons, textures, etc.

Without even knowing anything about my idea (I can tell you though that even if I'm the only technical founder, it's not an overwhelmingly complex app and I am confident that I could manage the coding alone. All features would get implemented during the summer. During the year, I would only make little changes to the user interface and update the content of the app, but I probably wont implement radically new features, that is if I choose to stay in school. The goal during the year would be to get as much users as possible and thats exactly what my co-founder would be working on full-time. Complex new features would get implemented in the following summer.), because really I don't want to be chosen for my idea but rather for my team (I've got this interesting idea that I want to work on, and I like it because I would actually use the app, and actually, Ive got a bunch of startup ideas (Im the kind of guy that always has tons of ambitious projects going on and new ideas in mind: I want to code apps, make feature films and crazy edits, learn new monologues by heart, run marathons, travel around the world and learn new things!), but this particular one is not too complex to implement, yet if it turns out that I choose to do a completely different project, then so be it! Anyway, I dont think the idea I apply with matters that much (but it ought to be good obviously), because anybody could apply to YC with a similar idea and develop a similar app. But would they really be as much passionate as us about the app and as much caring about the users, would they achieve to convince companies of using it, would they convince people of using it? I know we would. My point is that Im expecting to be chosen a lot more because of my team than because of my idea. (If you're interested to know what my app is though, email me (frabrunelle@gmail.com) or skype with me (francisbrunelle)). I want to build useful products and it thrills me that with the internet millions of people could be using them! But what thrills me even more is that if ever I do YC, I would be hanging around with dozens of other developers that are in the same situation as me. I want to discuss and debate about ideas with those developers. It would be an insanely great and enjoyable experience. And thats exactly why I want to do YC: for the experience.), do you think I have any chance of getting selected? Or should I wait for next summer, when I will have finish my program? The thing though is that I will still continue to go to school (Stanford, MIT, McGill or somewhere), so again I will have the same problem as the one I have right now.

I truly enjoy school but the real reason I want to go in c.s. at Stanford is to meet other c.s. students and start a startup with them. I'm also interested in studying in theatre, so I'm really not dropping school soon. But I don't want to wait after university to finally apply for YC, I feel ready now. The reason I want to go through YC is to meet interesting people, discuss ideas and because I'm sure it would be a tremendous experience. If I don't get chosen, I will still develop my app over the summer, but I just think YC is an outstanding opportunity and that I ought to at least submit an application. I will continue submitting applications every summer until I'm chosen.

P.S. As a developer, I'm not that skilled, but I always manage to figure things out by myself and find a way to do what I want. If I'm stuck, I don't easily give up. Nevertheless, I'm more of an idea guy. I'm currently following tutorials from http://www.raywenderlich.com/store since December in order to get more familiar with the iOS 5 SDK. When I'll finish them, I'll look at the Parse SDK (http://parse.com) and then at the Facebook iOS SDK (https://developers.facebook.com/). I will then code an app similar to FML but it will be called 'You know you're in IB when...', IB being the program I'm currently in. I will integrate the Parse SDK and the Facebook iOS SDK in this app. It's a simple app that I want to do for testing purposes and also because I know that my other classmates would actually use it and that fact motivates me a lot. I will then start working on the real app that I want to do for my startup. My goal is to have a working app with bare minimum features for the end of May so that I have something to show if ever I move to the Bay Area. I'm working toward this goal 2-3 hours everyday and 8-12 hours on weekends..
,Ask HN: Why so many big companies become greedy when they grow?What happens to "I started company to solve interesting problem" or "I want make world better place"? Why so much greed to bend rule and create monopoly. Look at Google , Look at Facebook - wanted to solve interesting problem. I assume founders were people like us - normal family- what happened to them? Why so much "money-money more money" at any cost mindset and society at large suffer. Why not moderate way of doing business without sucking common people dry? I am puzzled and sad. Let me know your thought. thanks..
,Ask HN: Choosing a business modelBackground: Some friends and I are getting together this summer to work on an idea we had for a web startup that is directly linked to universities. (No we're not a blackboard clone, something different)

We think we've got a pretty solid service, but we're not sure which direction to take it. We see it going one of two ways:

# The 'Blackboard' Model:

I know everyone hates Blackboard, but no one can say their business model is poor. From our perspective, selling directly to schools (SAAS) would be good for 2 reasons: First, a guaranteed revenue stream. We sell to school A for $100/mo we KNOW we have that income. Second, the same as Blackboard, once you're in, it's hard to get pushed out.

The cons however, are very obvious: It's not 'ours' anymore, and it's not going to be easy to innovate. The business model is fixed, so if we have a smash hit, it's tough to cash in on it quickly. Also, we're stuck working at the behest of the schools we sell to. Not bad if we're making tons of money, but perhaps stifling to creativity, and annoying in cases of say... censorship.

# The 'Facebook' Model:

Everyone* who is currently in college has an account with Facebook. Facebook is HUGE and it doesn't answer to anyone but itself (and, sometimes it's users). The freedom Facebook has seems nice. We like this model because we keep control, and we can iterate quickly (we don't have to 'sell' new features). Also, we have the option to change things if the need arises, so in the case of becoming an 'overnight success' we can keep the money rolling in without having to worry about contracts, budgets etc...

Obviously the downside is the upside -- If we are a huge success, we don't necessarily have the means to support ourselves (Look at Facebook... the ads aren't cutting it). The freedom comes at the cost of security.

The reason we're looking at this is that we're considering some minor investments to get our company formed and to enable us to quit our day jobs (which don't make us much anyway as we're full time students too). We want to get a firm direction to take the app in before we present to the investors though.

I guess what I'd like to hear is, what do you guys think of each business model, and if possible how has either fared for you? I'm interested in any industry where similar setup exists, or perhaps even a hypothetical third model, apart from or combining the two above. Any feedback at all is much appreciated..
,Ask HN: What's the Replacement for Legacy Media?I'm probably going to fail at conveying this idea, but I really need some guidance, so please bear with me.

If you consider across history, and redefine all "social mediums" as "social media", we have by far one of the most decentralized social systems available. However, the systems I see online are inadequate to capture the full scope of the idea.

We're now at a place where we don't need someone telling us about a bombing: we can see the video that some guy who caught it on the ground had randomly uploaded.

When I look at things like NYT/Reuters, I see a conventional "blog": paid specialists writing eloquent depictions of what happened. If I look at Facebook/Twitter, I see algorithmically tailored feeds of what people want, but precisely as people see it.

Is it possible to converge the two? If so, what kind of framework would you expect to see? And, from a critical mass standpoint, how do we make it the Wikipedia of social media?.
,Ask HN: Can anyone at Facebook please help us?Throwaway for obvious reasons.

I'm the co-founder of a well-known SaaS being used by SMB and enterprises. Recently, FB began blocking our pages and the pages of our customers from receiving likes on external sites (using social plugins), and blocking our customers from advertising on FB. We've reached out to many people at FB, some who said they will open a ticket to get this resolved, only for there to be radio silence and no replies after 2+ months of followups.

Another one of our customers contacted us yesterday saying they were permanently banned from getting likes and advertising on FB because they had used our app. Their marketing rep told them the engineering team at FB said it was a permanent ban for using our app because it was associated with some form of "like-gating."

Our app has never offered a like gate, and has always complied with platform policies (we even have blog posts dating back to 2014 on FB platform policies and our changes to comply.) We're almost certain this is just some type of automated algorithm that flagged and blocked us, but we'll never know because no one at FB will speak with us.

If anyone on HN works at FB or has a contact there and can help look into this to get this resolved, we would be forever grateful. We are at our wits end trying to solve this issue for our extremely angry and frustrated customers.

I can be contacted at fbissue123@gmail.com.

,Ask HN: How do you protect your older parents' PCs?My parents are both not that great with computers. My father can have trouble distinguishing between an ad designed to look like a Windows alert, and an actual Windows alert. My mother has woken me up out of bed to tell me she'd followed my instructions for opening a website but it "didn't work", to find that she had typed the URL in to the browser bar, but hadn't pressed "enter" yet :). But luckily their usage patterns are simple - they browse websites (most the photos they look at are on Facebook now), occasionally will need to read a MS Word doc one of their friends sends them, or sometimes open photos from emails.

Also its a shared PC that visiting relatives, kids and teenagers sometimes use - none of who are particularly computer savvy, and are generally motivated by games. I've found games and things on it that my parents would clearly have zero interest in (most likely the source of the adware).

I recently used their PC and was also shocked to see that Chrome's default search engine was some crapware. There was also some clearly non-Lenovo bloatware installed to "keep drivers up to date" which I spent some time obliterating. Short of MS Security Essentials and locking down the admin account, I'm looking for additional suggestions.

I'm sure a lot of us here can relate, and I'm curious as to your thoughts, tips and techniques. The internet is simply full of paid product offerings that claim to do it all for you, but I'm massively skeptical of these products.

The limitations: I actually get to their computer maybe once or twice a month to do a health check. It's unfortunately gotta be Windows. Obviously not on my network..

,Launch HN: Albedo (YC W21) – Highest resolution satellite imageryHey HN! I’m Topher, here with Winston and AJ, and we’re the co-founders of Albedo (https://albedo.space). We’re building satellites that will capture both visible and thermal imagery - at a resolution 9x higher than what is available today (see comparison: https://photos.app.goo.gl/gwokp4WT8JPvyue98).

My technical background is primarily in optics/imaging science related to remote sensing. I previously worked for Lockheed Martin, where I met AJ, who is an expert in satellite architecture and systems engineering. We’ve spent most of our career working on classified space systems, and while the missions we were involved with are super cool, that world is slower to adopt the latest new space technologies. We started Albedo in order to create a new type of satellite architecture that captures high resolution imagery at a fraction of the cost historically required. Winston was previously a software engineer at Facebook, where he frequently used satellite imagery and realized the huge potential of higher resolution datasets.

While the use cases for satellite imagery are endless, adoption has been underwhelming - even for obvious and larger applications like agriculture, insurance, energy, and mapping. The main limitations that have prevented widespread use are high cost, inaccessibility, and low resolution.

Today, buying commercial satellite imagery involves a back-and-forth with a salesperson in a sometimes months-long process, with high prices that exclude all but the biggest companies. This process needs to be simplified with transparent, commodity pricing and an automated process, where all you need to buy imagery is a credit card. On the accessibility front, it’s surprising how few providers have nailed down a streamlined, fully cloud-based delivery mechanism. While working at Facebook, Winston sometimes dealt with imagery delivered through FTP servers or physical hard drives. Another thing users are looking for is more transparency when tasking a new satellite image, such as an immediate assessment of when it will be collected. These are all problems we are working on solving at Albedo.

On the space side, we’re able to achieve the substantial cost savings by taking advantage of emerging space technologies, two of which are electric propulsion and on-orbit refueling. Our satellites will fly super close to the earth, essentially in the atmosphere, enabling 10cm resolution without having to build a school bus sized satellite.

Electric propulsion makes the fuel on our satellites way more efficient, at the expense of low thrust. Think about it like your car gasoline going from 30 to 300 mpg, but you could only drive 5 mph. Our propulsion only needs to maintain a steady offset to the atmospheric drag, so low thrust and high efficiency is perfect. By the time our first few satellites run out of fuel, on-orbit refueling will be a reality, and we can just refill our tanks. We’re still in the architecture and design phase, but we expect to have our first few satellites flying in 2024 and the full constellation up in 2027.

The current climate crisis requires a diverse set of sensors in space to support emissions monitoring, ESG initiatives/investments, and infrastructure sustainability. Thermal sensors are a key component for this, and very few are currently in orbit. Since our satellites are larger than normal, they are uniquely suited to capture the long wavelengths of thermal energy at a resolution of 2 meters. We’ll also be taking advantage of advances in microbolometer technology, to eliminate the crazy cooling requirements that have made thermal satellites so expensive in the past. The current state-of-the-art for thermal resolution is 70 meters, which is only marginally useful for most applications.

We’re aiming to adopt the stance of being a pure data provider (i.e. not doing analytics). We think the best way to facilitate overall market growth is to do one thing incredibly well: sell imagery better, cheaper, and faster than what users have available today. While this allows us to be vertical agnostic, some of our more well-suited applications include: crop health monitoring, pipeline inspection, property insurance underwriting/weather damage evaluation, and wildfire/vegetation management around power lines. By making high-res imagery a commodity, we are also betting on it unlocking new applications in a similar fashion to GPS (e.g. Tinder, Pokemon Go, and Uber).

One last thing - new remote sensing regulations were released by NOAA last May, removing the previous limit on resolution. So between the technology side and regulatory side, the timing is kind of perfect for us.

All thoughts and questions are appreciated - and we’d love to hear if you know of any companies that could benefit from our imagery. Thanks for reading!.
,Launch HN: Raycast (YC W20) – CLI-inspired desktop app for non-coding tasksHey,

Thomas and Petr here from Raycast (https://www.raycast.com). We are building a command-line inspired native app to save developers time on non-coding tasks, such as managing active sprints in Jira, sorting out notifications in GitHub, or checking metrics in Amplitude.

Both of us are software engineers and we noticed that we were spending less time coding and more time managing the software development process. We had to keep track of bug reports, manage sprints, comment on pull requests, release new versions and many more things that eat up a big portion of our time. All of those tasks are spread across web tools that aren't optimized for power users. When we used these tools every day, loading times became annoying, animations turned into pain and clicking 10 buttons for the simplest things didn't feel right.

We built an internal productivity tool that addresses this issues in our previous jobs at Facebook as a side project. It was a desktop app for macOS that sits in the menu bar and connects to the internal issue tracker. The app displays your open issues and has a global shortcut to create a new one. The tool allowed us to replace the slow web app for the majority of our work and saved us time. When other engineers enjoyed the simplicity and speed of the tool, we realized that such an app can be applied to other web tools as well.

Everybody has to deal with one of these. Take Jira, for example: to update the status of an issue, you have to open the browser, create a new tab, navigate to the website and find the right issue. Only then can you change the priority. This feels broken! This kind of interaction shouldn't take that long. In fact, you should be able to do this without opening a browser, without seeing a loading indicator and without switching context!

Raycast is inspired by command line interfaces. These interfaces are a great way to escape from the clutter of typical web tools. They are simple, responsive and extensible. However, they also have drawbacks: rich media elements aren't well supported, ASCII characters are too limiting for advanced UI design and it's very hard to discover commands. Raycast is our attempt to combine the benefits of a command line with those of a modern user interface. Its UI is similar to Spotlight or Alfred. You can launch the app with a global shortcut, search for commands, and perform quick actions. Similar to CLIs, you execute application-specific commands in Raycast, such as creating an issue in Jira or opening a pull request in GitHub. An integrated store makes it easy to install new extensions.

The app is entirely designed to keep developers in the flow. Most important: it's fast! Our client-first architecture makes every interaction instant. The app is written natively to deliver the best performance with the least amount of resources. It won't drain your laptop battery and it's accessible via keyboard shortcuts.

Consistency is key to being more productive. Once you've learned how to create an issue in Jira via Raycast, you know how to schedule a meeting in Zoom, create a pull request in GitHub, or set a reminder for tomorrow. All commands follow a similar structure and share UI components to make them look and feel the same. The components are built for speed: Text fields have autocompletions, elements in dropdowns are searchable and automatically remember previous choices. The app doesn't require a login and your data is stored encrypted on your local hard drive. All the API requests go directly to the third party services and we don't track any sensitive data.

At the moment, Raycast is only available for macOS and we're focusing on the fastest experience for Jira. Upcoming extensions will include an inbox for your GitHub notifications or utilities such as reminders. We can't build all extensions ourselves and believe in an open platform. We will release an API to build custom extensions and use the private beta to make sure that we can provide a great developer experience. We have tons of ideas and would love to hear what would you like to see in a tool like this..
,Launch HN: Lion Pose (YC W21) – Safe and effective skin care for people of colorHi my name is Nisha, and Madhu and I are cofounders of Lion Pose (https://lionpose.com/). We make clinical skincare products for people of color, without toxic bleach.

When she was 10 years old, Madhu’s family took her to get her whole body bleached, because she was told it would make her skin more beautiful. She didn’t know that bleaching products contain toxic or potentially dangerous ingredients like mercury, steroids, and hydroquinone (which has possible links to cancer and kidney failure). Madhu is not alone in her experience—some reports estimate that nearly 50% of people of color have used bleaching products on their skin.

The horrors of bleach aside, skin of color has been notoriously left out of both medical training and new product development. Most skin images in medical textbooks are of white skin, dermatology residents are not trained to diagnose on darker skin tones, and skin of color is often omitted from clinical trials and studies. But skincare for people of color is a $9B market in the US, so this imbalance represents a big opportunity,

At Lion Pose, we are on a mission to end skin bleaching and create safe and effective solutions for brown skin issues. Our main product, Unspotted 4X, fights hyperpigmentation— dark spots, melasma, discoloration, or scars—which is the #2 skin issue for people of color, after acne. We scoured NIH studies to find the best active ingredients for darker skin tones. Our proprietary blend of acids (glycolic, lactic, tranexamic, and azelaic) exfoliate and resurface the skin, with antioxidants to promote healthy new growth.

We’re working with a medical board of Harvard-educated dermatologists to make sure we get this right. Most of them have black or brown skin themselves, so they understand the consumer’s point of view first-hand.

Our second product is a mineral SPF 30 sunscreen made with zinc oxide. Similar to bleach, traditional SPF ingredients like oxybenzone have been linked to cancer. Zinc-based sunscreens don’t have this problem. However, they tend to have a thick white consistency, which is particularly difficult to blend on darker skin tones—you may have noticed this if you’ve ever applied them to yourself, and then tried to rub away the highly visible traces they leave! We’ve created a smooth absorbable formula, tinted with safe iron oxides, allowing blendability on dark skin.

Clinical skincare is the fastest growing category at beauty retailers like Sephora. Our products will be available in all Sephora stores in the US and Canada upon launch (Sephora projects $3M in sales in the first year), which we hope will allow us to grow without having to rely on expensive Facebook ads. Retail sales still dominate in this market.

Many people don’t realize that there is little to no regulation of skincare products in the US. This has caused a market saturated with products that are useless and/or ineffective, or even harsh and damaging. Most consumers aren’t going to research specific ingredients to find products that really work for their skin tone. Therefore, truly clinical skincare products feel unattainable or inaccessible—most consumers believe you must be wealthy and have access to top dermatologists to have healthy "glowing" skin. We hope to contribute to changing this!

We are about to kick off our next round of consumer testing. If you or someone you know are interested in trying our products, we’d love to hear from you. Write us at founders@lionpose.com and we’ll send you physical samples.

We’ll be around in the thread and look forward to your comments!.
,Launch HN: Castodia (YC W20) – Populate Google Sheets from databasesHey HN, we’re Jimmy and Ayazhan, founders of Castodia (https://www.castodia.com). We help pull data from databases directly into Google Sheets. It’s basically a live database connector for Google Sheets that allows for data refreshes.

Before we started working on this, we were working on an idea around data pipelines. It didn’t take off so we had to pivot mid-batch. We had less than 1 month to do user interviews, build our product, get it approved, and launch it. To start with, we knew we wanted to stay in the data space. We spent the first week talking to over 30 people at different companies. In those conversations, we noticed that sales, marketing, and operations teams constantly need to ask developers to help them export data from the database and often have to submit follow-on data requests because they forgot to add a dimension needed for analysis (they often do this by submitting Jira tickets). This is an inefficient yet surprisingly common thing at companies today. Perhaps even more surprising is that data scientists at big companies like Facebook, who have invested heavily in data infrastructure and analytics tools, often use spreadsheets as a step in their data analysis workflow. While they can pull data for analysis themselves, they too export data into CSV and then open it in a spreadsheet. This means that their data doesn’t update automatically and the process has to be repeated each time.

At first, we were considering building our own BI tool to solve this problem. However, during our conversations we noticed that people feel new-tool fatigue, especially when their companies rotate through different tools that are used for the same purpose. For instance, we’ve heard of companies going from Tableau to Looker and back to Tableau. Or from Kibana to Sisense to Looker. Sometimes it feels like companies are paying a lot of money for tools that people aren’t really using just because it’s the thing everybody “needs to have”. Each one comes with its own structure, data modeling and steep learning curve. It's overwhelming. At some point people just realize that whatever tool they learn will likely change once a new VP gets hired and wants to do things in a new way. In anticipation of that, they default to the one tool they know how to use and likely won’t be replaced soon. Spreadsheets also happen to be an elegant solution for simple calculations, quick pivots, and high level data exploration. They are elegant in a way that no $50k a year enterprise visualization tool can be - not because they can’t do those things, but because people don’t know how to do it quickly with them. It’s also hard to change workflows for people who live in spreadsheets. Spreadsheets are a pretty good for ad-hoc analysis and summaries that are used for presentations and reports.

So instead of another BI tool, we built a Google Sheets add-on that connects to a database and lets them search through tables, filter/order the data, and then load it into Sheets directly. In the future, we’ll let them schedule data refreshes for any saved query, so all their calculations and pivot tables update with the latest data from the database. We’ve built our first integration with Postgres and testing a MySQL, MongoDB, and public dataset connector. We plan to add integrations to more data sources, including data warehouses such as Snowflake and BigQuery.

We implemented it to only get read-access to the database and we don’t store connection credentials or replicate data in our database. We are focused on data analysis at the moment, but a few customers have requested features to also write into database (write access to the database). Not sure yet how to do this safely with spreadsheets or whether we should at all. We’ve heard suggestions such as database write roll-backs or some intermediate data queue that can be approved by table owners.

Other challenges include: (1) building data connectors because many data sources spits out data differently, which means we have to parse it differently to make it accessible from a uniform interface. (2) We make connections to databases and perform all queries using AWS lambda functions (thank you serverless!) Some queries are taking minutes to execute, but AWS drops connection after 29 seconds. (3) It is hard and, as HN often points out, risky to build a product that depends on Google. We're also running into Google Sheets' row limitations - still figuring out a way to work around this for large databases. We’ve been bouncing ideas around building a back-end to perform heavy computations while only displaying a sampled subset of data in the spreadsheet. We think it's worth it to plunge ahead despite all these issues, though, because having a spreadsheet interface to their data is very much what our users want. We plan to charge users a monthly fee for use of our product and we'll have a HN discount on our basic plan.

We’d love to hear about your data analysis workflows, the tools you use to do this, any problems you’ve had getting data for analysis, and of course, your thoughts and experiences on this use of spreadsheets! Questions and specific integration requests are also welcome, and if you would like to be beta users, feel free to email us at founders@castodia.com..
,Launch HN: Nimbus (YC W22) – Cloud dev environments for teamsHey HN! We’re Nish, Liusha and Neil, the founders of Nimbus (https://www.usenimbus.com). We’re building an easy way to code and manage environments on cloud VMs that are configured for projects you’re working on. There’s a video demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0g6Jk5zyQG4.

Initially, we were working on simplifying dev environments for coding school students. But when we found ourselves using what we were making and finding it useful for our own work, we pivoted to dev teams like us.

Big tech companies like Facebook, LinkedIn, Shopify, Slack, Dropbox, etc. all have in-house cloud environment solutions. This lets engineers spend more time on software design and writing production code and less time waiting, testing or troubleshooting. With Nimbus, we’re bringing the same convenience to everybody else.

The three biggest pains Nimbus alleviates are compatibility issues, scaling challenges and not having a powerful enough dev machine.

Compatibility issues touch hardware, software, and users. The leading cause is poorly supported tooling on M1 and M2 architecture or a varied fleet of Mac, Linux and Windows devices of various specs. This is made more complex by tool/package updates that break support for that fleet and the impossible task of writing and maintaining perfect documentation.

Scaling challenges build on the compatibility issues. Engineers can spend days to get access and setup environments for every project they touch. Containers help but it’s only part of the solution and tools like Docker can be so resource intensive that slow devices to a crawl. And then, once everything is set up, important data and code sits on the laptop - which is a hugely vulnerable endpoint (probably second to smartphones).

Nimbus lets engineers always pull the right environment, eliminates local env management and debugging, and makes environments portable - engineers can work from any machine because the code runs and stays in the cloud.

We want Nimbus to be easy to use and flexible enough for any developer, so we provide persistent and ephemeral VMs (EC2) that work just like local development. You create a ‘template’ that tells us what kind of machine and OS you want. Then you load up a ‘workspace’, which is a cloud machine near you for the lowest latency possible. You can jump into that server via our local VS code plugin (Jetbrains coming soon) or the remote dev capability of your IDE and get to work. At any point, you can ‘snapshot’ the image and use that as a ‘template’ for future workspaces.

Here are some examples of ways we’re being used today: a European logistics software company replaced their internal cloud infra with Nimbus to improve reliability and reduce engineering and cloud costs; a fast-growing international fintech company is using Nimbus to bring reliability and consistency to dev environments that broke often; a software development agency is using Nimbus to cut onboarding for their engineers from days to hours; some developers are personally using Nimbus to work at home from their gaming PC and extend their laptop battery life when away from home.

Other products in this space focus on simpler use cases (e.g. Replit) or have design choices and limitations that we weren’t happy about. Codespaces is the best-known offering but it’s expensive, not platform-agnostic, and has limits from its repo-based workspace design. Some people ask if we compete with Docker but most of our users use Docker in Nimbus - and Docker’s poor performance on Mac is one of the main reasons people try Nimbus.

We have a free trial if you want to check it out: https://app.usenimbus.com/. We’re currently working on self-hosting capabilities, enabling prebuilds, and easier templated environment creation – but we’d love to hear what you want. And we look forward to your thoughts and feedback on Nimbus and coding on the cloud in general!.
,Launch HN: Lazy Lantern (YC S19) – Detect Meaningful Patterns in Your AnalyticsHello HN,

We are Bastien, Guillaume and Alex, founders of Lazy Lantern (https://www.lazylantern.com). We work on detecting what really matters as it happens in your website or app.

As software engineers in various companies, we repeatedly got overwhelmed by the amount of product analytics we had to keep track of. What specific metrics are you supposed to monitor when you have dozens or hundreds of them, each metric having contextual information about the user, device type, location, language, etc.? This can represent thousands to millions of useful sub-metrics. Despite spending significant time monitoring analytics dashboards on Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude, Grafana and more, we had to keep track of so many metrics and user segments that impactful events regularly went unnoticed. We often missed technical incidents, but also business opportunities such as not knowing that a feature really moved the needle or that there was sudden adoption for a specific user group.

We started Lazy Lantern to build an automated way of analyzing any number of metrics in real-time. The goal is to provide a good picture of impactful events as they happen, both in the case of negative anomalies (outages, bugs, crashes) and positive anomalies (virality, marketing, growth). In practice, we automatically detect abnormal patterns for each metric, in particular temporary spikes/drops, level changes, trend changes and seasonality changes. In case of anomaly, we surface the user segments that are most affected and we group correlated anomalies together to give you a better picture of what parts of the product are impacted.

On the implementation side, there were a couple of requirements for an effective anomaly detection algorithm. It has to be:

- Autonomous: avoiding manual configuration to be able to scale to arbitrarily high numbers of metrics

- Unsupervised: being able to detect anomalies for all types of businesses without knowing beforehand what a typical anomaly for each business looks like

- Dynamic: accommodating all kinds of seasonalities and trends, which excludes using static thresholds

- Fast: deciding whether a data point is indicative of an incident in minimal time

To fulfill these requirements, we first tried the Holt-Winters seasonal models, but finally got the best results with a procedure based upon Facebook’s Prophet forecasting model. To provide a better sense of each anomaly’s severity as well as what areas of the product are affected, we integrated two additional functionalities:

- Anomaly severity scoring based on the number of impacted users, deviation from prediction and anomaly duration

- Anomaly grouping using a reproduction of VARCLUS, which groups metrics by clusters based on their partial correlations

For this initial launch, we are targeting Segment customers, which makes enabling our product a breeze. If people find it useful, we will provide wider support. Pricing is based on the number of metrics you want to track. If you email us at contact@lazylantern.com mentioning this post, we’ll extend the free trial to 3 months. If you are interested, sign up in one minute on our website at www.lazylantern.com.

We’d love to know if you think this product might be useful to you or if there is a better way to approach the problem. Thank you!.
,Launch HN: Gallery (YC S21) – On-demand environments on any cloud providerHi HN! We’re Jagath and Vignesh, co-founders of Gallery (usegallery.com). We provision on-demand pre-prod environments on your own cloud account so you can do manual QA, share feature previews with team members/clients, and parallelize automated testing & CI processes, all without bottlenecking on your staging environment.

Engineers typically have a fixed number of cloud environments, including production, staging, and maybe some additional pre-production environments. They use these to preview features, share work with other team members, do manual QA/automated testing, and more. As the number of engineers grows, having a fixed number of cloud environments becomes a bottleneck. Teams end up queuing for access to staging and so on. Creating additional environments and keeping them in sync, though, is a major headache, especially when the environments are reasonably complex.

When this problem reaches a boiling point, teams either have to slow down feature development, test on production, or deal with building their own on-demand platform internally. That’s where we come in. We enable on-demand spinup of unlimited environments for quicker development. Engineers use these as environments-per-feature—in parallel—to share previews with QA/other engineers/product people, to create demo environments for clients with features that aren't in production, to run automated testing on ephemeral environments as part of their CI processes, and more.

Vignesh and I are engineers with experience in infra/research at Facebook/Apple/Microsoft. We met as roommates at Caltech. We got into YC with a very different idea (a way for stores to ask customers questions and offer instant recommendations/promotions based on their responses) but soon abandoned it (it was more exciting to us as a technical challenge than to stores as a practical solution) and found ourselves testing different ideas as quickly as we could.

During this period, right before every launch without fail, Vignesh and I would collide on staging: features that worked locally would break on prod infra. We tried to provision our own individual staging environments, but setting them up and keeping them in sync sucked up valuable bandwidth. The gold-standard workflow, in my mind, was the one-click “On-Demand” environment provisioning I’d had at Facebook, wherein I could click a button and instantiate a live feature preview. We found solutions that promised on-demand environment spin-up, but none of them worked for us; they were either incompatible with our stack (mostly built around App Engine), didn't interface with our cloud provider, or required too much overhead and finessing to set up.

This was the seed for our idea. Talking to larger startups, we realized that the inconveniences we faced were just a few of the major pains faced by bigger engineering teams with nascent DevOps; they often had brittle, scattered workflows around managing their environments and growing queues for features. They needed a solution to flexibly create, destroy, and replicate environments, through both ad-hoc and developer triggers like PR’s and CI builds. While there are a number of existing services that aim to simplify DevOps and/or provide easier workflows around environments, engineering teams we spoke to were either unable or unwilling to use them due to incompatibility with their specific setups.

We realized that a better approach would be to abstract away the specifics of each environment by using infra-as-code as middleware. Infra-as-code solutions like Terraform, CloudFormation, etc. can represent infrastructure thoroughly in a standardized fashion. The majority of people we talked to were maintaining their infrastructure using Terraform or something similar, and it was easy to build out pipelines for those who didn't by using Terraform under the hood. This was the key to what became Gallery.

Since every company manages their environments differently (cloud provider, use of K8s or infra-as-code, cloud-managed services, security/privacy layers), creating a product that can work with them all out-of-the-box is a challenge. Unlike other solutions on the market, Gallery isn't a Kubernetes orchestrator that replicates containerized environments; rather, we can represent entire cloud projects, including managed services (e.g. App Engine, Elastic Beanstalk, etc.), spin them up in sandboxed cloud projects, and automate their teardown as well.

To create cloud resources on your GCP/AWS accounts, we use Terraform as a middleware. For select cloud services, we can understand an existing project, generate the Terraform corresponding to it, and use it to spin up your resources. We allow users to link their own Terraform code to allow spin-up of more complex environments as well. When you trigger the creation of a new environment, we spin up a worker that applies the Terraform template and performs any post-deploy actions to seed the newly generated infrastructure (for example, copying over initialization data into databases). We store your Terraform state file and manage tearing down environments when they outlive their TTL, or deletion is triggered by a specific action (e.g. merging a pull request).

Once we spin up infrastructure, we pull application code from your app repositories, and allow you to specify build and deployment commands that target the newly created environment. This lets you use your current deployment scripts on Gallery almost as-is, for fast and straightforward onboarding. We have integrations with Github/Gitlab around the Pull Request/Merge Request flow, letting you create environments that track a branch whenever a PR is created.

We're a SaaS product, and we have pricing tiers based on the number of concurrent environments. We’ve prepared a live demo account that you can play around with as a read-only team member here: http://a.getgallery.co/teams/14. I've also prepared a demo video of how to set up ephemeral environments per-PR in just a couple of minutes (https://www.loom.com/share/26165ea69f0d4b7b974019bdf72e5d11). You can see our docs here: docs.usegallery.com.

Thank you so much for reading! We’d love to hear your thoughts, ideas, and experiences around the problem we’re tackling and the solution we’re proposing!.
,Launch HN: PlatoHQ (YC W16) – Mentorship for EngineersHi HN!

We are the cofounders of PlatoHQ (https://www.platohq.com) and we come from an Engineering Background.

After having graduated from college, with two of my engineers friends, we decided to build our own company (the name of our company was Birdly). We made a lot of mistakes along the way; and one of the biggest was to hire too soon a bunch of engineers. We were all three technical cofounders so we could have built the MVP ourselves. But instead of that, we decided that two cofounders over three would do the “Product management” and “Marketing", and that we should hire 3 engineers (including 2 interns) to code the product for us. That was before YC. YC could have prevented us from making that mistake. And this had been our worst mistake.

We transitioned from “Individual Contributor” to “Engineering Managers”. We happened to spend more time doing “management” than building the product and optimizing for product-market fit. We were doing the rookie mistakes most first-time engineering managers do.

Among some rookie mistakes:
- We hired our engineers focusing only on their technical capabilities
- We didn’t make one-on-ones, but rather two-on-ones, and we focused on performance and operational
- We micromanaged them, and even time-boxed them sometimes
- And many more mistakes…

But at the time, those mistakes were unknown unknowns. In other words, we didn’t even know we were doing the bad things.

We don’t all need to do all those mistakes, or at least, when we do, we should know it, figure it out and fix it.

That’s why we’re building Plato, a platform to find your perfect mentor to help you become a better Engineering Leader.

Mentors of the community come from top tech companies such as Google, Facebook, Lyft, Slack, Trello, Netflix, Spotify, Digital Ocean, Segment, Uber… They want to help you avoid the common pitfalls they learned the hard way.
Among our mentors, we have the
- First Engineer at Box (Going from 10 to 1200 employees),
- the VP Engineering at Lyft (and founder of Google Street View),
- Cofounder of Pagerduty,
- VP Engineering at Segment,
- Director of Engineering at Box,
- CTO/Cofounder of Jive Software…
- And more...
It's real, you can really talk to them and receive advice.

Mentors are not paid that is why we can provide an affordable price of $199 per month for an access to all the mentors and an unlimited number of calls with them. Mentors do this for other incentives, happy to discuss more if you're interested.

Also, I know many of you already have learned the hard way many lessons like us. I’m sure many of you would be amazing mentors. Feel free to let us know if you want to become a mentor. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to become a mentor.

Looking forward to having your feedback on our new product,
Thanks, HN community!.

What's with the world tour for facebook? Is it that google has a dedicated link that allows it to establish a direct route and the others don't? What do the routes from other countries to google/facebook look like?.
,Ask HN: Searching for a technical co-founderWho were looking for:

An extremely talented, self-starting engineer. A true technical co-founder who will challenge,
influence, and ultimately drive technical product development; someone who wants to join for
the long-haul and be a core piece of building this company.

What the business does:

Our product is an innovative way to collect and share media captured at live events. If you are
a fan of concerts, sporting events, or generally attending live events then this would be for you.

Currently, sharing media from live events is limited to the people you know through social
networks (Facebook, Twitter). This media is scattered in lots of different places, making it
impossible to aggregate and difficult to search. Were going to fix that by giving users a way to
digest content centered on the experience itself, not just the people sharing it.

Note: We are not sharing full details of our plan in this post, but we have detailed mock-ups to
share with the right candidate in a one-on-one conversation.

What wed ideally like you to be able to do:

We are flexible on language and frameworks - one of the key roles will be to determine the
technical architecture that best suits the current and future needs of the business.

With that said, here is what we think we might need that isnt language and framework related:
Experience with cloud hosting infrastructure (Amazon Web Services, Rackspace etc.)
Strong enough front-end capabilities to build web prototype
Comfort with developing in iOS & Android platforms
Comfort managing the growth of an engineering team in the long-term

Most importantly, the technical co-founder should
be a broad generalist who can work on all
areas of the stack (front-end, back-end, monitoring, deployment), building and managing a team over time.

A final thought...
We take recruiting and hiring a technical co-founder extremely seriously. We realize
engineering is a priority, and this start-up will succeed or fail because of its engineering talent.
We want you to be the leader of this team, and we are willing to do what it takes to create an
incredible engineering culture and environment.

,Show HN: Explaining GraphQL to a PM Through Analogy; Also: Encouraging QuestionsHey guys and gals,

I just had a PM ask me a great honest and simple question and felt like posting my response here to

A) encourage encouraging question asking. We're all imposters at some level and being honest about that will just help us all improve.

B) See how you all can make my analogy better or more useful.

Cheers!

Text copied below since Notion requires login to read public pages now? wtf Notion bad job

DO NOT ever say I have to promise not to laugh at you for asking a question!

A) I commend ANY PM for their curiosity into ANY technical details

B) Everyone pretends they know way more than they do in tech land so don’t sweat it

C) I have trouble with some basic stuff like I mentioned in Standup like CSS. I just never learned it well

SO, with that all said, a quick way to explain GraphQL

It’s a technology created by a great team at Facebook that makes it more efficient for us folks on the front end to ask the backend for our data. Facebook the company blows but they do some cool stuff. This is one of those things

Let’s use an analogy to explain GraphQL and compare it to what USED to be the standard - Rest APIs.

With Rest APIs, we tell our backend team - “Hey, backend!
Give us all of our users that have this ID” and the backend has to have already created something called an “endpoint” which is a simple URL you can plop into your browser and it shows you some data. For example: www.example.com/user/1 - if we go to this hypothetical endpoint, we expect that we will receive back ALL (SERIUOSLY - ALL OF THE data that the backend thinks is appropriate to hand us for that user.

That’s fine, but it’s a huge waste. Imagine if you wanted to ask your friend what her address was, but instead of her responding with her address, she’d write down her birthday, her phone number, all of the people she knows, her social security number, her password for her phone, and a whole bunch of other useless stuff. You just CARE about what her address, but she provided you with a bunch of information that wasn’t at ALL what you cared about.

The question becomes: How do we solve this with a URL the old way? Do we ask our backend to create a new “endpoint”? Something perhaps like www.example.com/user/1/address?

That would work, but as we add more data to our user, our backend folks are going to have to create new endpoints for each one of the new pieces of data that we add, so we ignore this solution and instead just keep adding data to that first URL endpoint.

This is the problem GraphQL solves.

The frontend TELLS GraphQL what data we want about the user and it responds with only that data. The wastes WAY less bandwidth from the front end to the back end, speeds up our queries, and makes the code that provides data way more flexible.

Probably a little more technical information than is warranted here, but the request ends up looking like below instead of some convoluted URL like www.example.com/user/1/address

user {
address
}

and that’s it! The backend will now respond ONLY with the data we want, which makes our responses much quicker and faster and that’s good for all parties involved, including our end users.

Thanks for your question! Hopefully this helps you understand and please feel free to always ask questions. The more our PM folks know about the technology, the better! Props to you :clap:.
,Welcome to Socialism - new pricing structure- Canadian Internet Usage Based Billing-UBB (Canada)

As some of you know, the CRTC recently rendered a decision forcing all independent DSL and Cable Internet providers to substantially match incumbent (like Bell) usage rate caps. This will influence all of our internet service packages eventually, but DSL residential customers in Ontario and Quebec first, as of March 1. Along with you, we are not pleased with this, and our view is more fully expressed in our press release which you can find here: http://www.teksavvynews.com/

From March 1 on, users of the up to 5 Mbps packages in Ontario can expect a usage cap of 25GB (60GB in Quebec), substantially down from the 200GB or unlimited deals TekSavvy was able to offer before the CRTC's decision to impose usage based billing. Users who were on unlimited package rates will be returned to $31.95 capped rates although larger blocks of bandwidth can be purchased.*

In order to facilitate this transition we have constructed a new easy-to-navigate portal at https://myworld.teksavvy.com where our customers can choose from the amended and new packages.
The details of our new rate plans and charges can be found there. You will be able to register using the account information found at the end of this email. More on the portal below. In addition, in order to accommodate these changes, we have amended our Terms of Service, primarily regarding implementation. The amended Terms form part of your Agreement with TekSavvy and can be viewed at https://secure.teksavvy.com/en/termspolicies.asp.

Please note if you do not choose a new service before March 1, 2011, your existing package will be transitioned into an amended package. Existing packages and the ones they will be replaced with in each case can be found at http://teksavvy.com/en/faq-ubb_on.asp for Ontario and http://teksavvy.com/en/faq-ubb_qc.asp for Quebec.

Content and data like Netflix, YouTube, IPTV, large file downloads or other streaming services can consume large amounts of bandwidth and place your cap limits in jeopardy very quickly. We encourage you to monitor your usage carefully, as the CRTC has imposed a very high overage rate, above your new monthly limit, of $1.90 per gigabyte ($2.35 per gigabyte in Quebec).

The CRTC did however provide an option for insurance usage blocks at $4.75 per 40GB block per month, which can be purchased if you want to reduce your cost for use above 25GB (60GB in Quebec).

Ontario and Quebec up to 5 Mbps users with a monthly limit of 25GB and 60GB respectively:

Insurance Blocks Offered:

   * $4.75 - 40GB extra usage
   * $9.50 - 80GB extra usage
   * $14.25 - 120GB extra usage (maximum 3 blocks)
   * $55.00 - 275GB extra usage (maximum 240GB extra usage in Quebec)

To select a new package please visit https://myworld.teksavvy.com
You will be able to register using the account information found at the end of this email.

Unhappy With the UBB Decision? So Are We!-Join Us!

The CRTC decision to impose UBB on the whole market is a big win for Bell and other major carriers, but a big hit to everyone else. To view the CRTC decision, go to:

http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2011/2011-44.htm

Like our customers, and Canadian internet users everywhere, we are not happy with this new development. We will continue our efforts to fight the imposition of exorbitant bandwidth charges on usage with virtually no incremental cost to Bell and other UBB carriers, and we will develop strategies to restore the usage levels and costs our customers have come to expect. But we need your support to succeed, and get back to the cost structure we have a right to expect.

If like us you are disappointed with the CRTC's decision, make your views known on UBB and what it means to you (and Canada frankly) by going to www.stopthemeter.ca, where you will find a petition against UBB. Sign it, get involved, and together we will make a difference! Let everyone you know understand that Canada is about to become the most expensive internet market in the industrialized world!

We will keep you informed of our efforts, and look to you for your help.

If you would like to get more involved go to these links to make your thoughts known and join this battle:

* www.stopthemeter.ca - signing the petition will now automatically send our Minister of Industry, Tony Clement, the person politically responsible for the CRTC, an email.
