Lol you don't live in the hoods man...Jamaica Plain is one of the surburbs of Boston and one of the best around. I lived in WR and right now these are the most expensive neighborhoods of Boston...you live in paradise trust me!

I worked at a startup where we used machine learning to review legal documents. When you have 10M+ documents, it takes a long time for a team of lawyers to review them. So a company with AI/ML is at a huge advantage in identifying the

Thanks! I don't want to hit the web app at all...I want to load all my static files once and then it's all client side...getting data from the rest service when it needs it...

I've used Backbone/Marionette, Angular, and React at this point. I think Backbone/Marionette is the best framework so far maybe because it was the first one I did a big project on. Backboe/Marionette has very clear sep

Thanks for the question...I looked at Letsencrypt, but wanted to do some more research. There are some limitations to using Letsencrypt, but might go that way...Here is an old reddit thread I found: https://www.reddit.com/r

Thanks! Yeah this is just for demo...I had a self signed SSL but removed it for demo...I didn't buy the certificate yet. I thought no one would try it if the browsers say "This is insecure..." :)

Hey HN I'm Jay and I'm currently working on this project. Would love to hear your feedback and if this is a problem you face and how you currently solve it. I built the filtering engine a few months ago when I was just playing a

You can do your taxes for free using this: https://www.freefilefillableforms.com/#/fd , but it's a huge pain unless you know what you're doing. I did it last year, but it took 10+ times to submit it correctly

I do use Google Compute Engine, but the pricing on the page is extremely confusing...This is for developers who understand how things work so it shouldn't be that confusing. The page you mention has a 'Try it for free' but b

Even a toy project will burn through this in less than 60 days...I was expecting a free tier as in free up to 1GB or something like that...a little misleading because the site makes it sound that.

I was excited for a second, but nothing has changed from what was there already...$300 credit that can be used within 12 months. Am I mistaken?

Why even go to that length when you can interview on video?

I think it's the other way around...able men aren't looking for work because the job market isn't attractive. They must be doing something that satisfies them one way or another. I have a problem when people start pointing

Work in a startup and try to do a little bit of everything (code, devops, marketing, selling). Be really good at 2 of those at least and just hit the ground running. You might not know how to do something, but ask to do it anyways and lear

This guy should have tried coding for Android before Android Studio...then he would realize how much better things have gotten. Oh don't forget about unit tests... I get frustrated with it sometimes, but It's still much better th

https://github.com/julesbond007/Android-Jigsaw-Puzzle started as a weekend project but evolved a little bit. It's not complete yet. A user draws something and use it to create jigsaw puzzles.

I think Youtube is still using Akamai but not as much anymore and Google's CDN is in beta last I checked. Google partners with other major CDN's also. https://www.quora.com/What-CDN-does-YouTube-use https:/

You know Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Google, etc and other major companies use CDN's like Akamai to deliver their content to users right? Building a few data centers may not be not be hard and may be cheaper, what's hard is servin

I think a lot of early stage startups look up to YC acceptance as validation, but when you apply at the early stage, you get rejected almost automatically. Too much emphasis on number of users, revenue, etc. So a lot of potentially great

Agree on this one 100%. I can't believe how many people depend on prescription drugs in America. I remember when I was a kid, my grandparents knew all kind of tea they could make when someone was sick. The problem is that the tea le

I like what New Story is doing. I was born in Haiti. But I'm asking about San Francisco. Seems like a lot of companies talk about helping poor countries, but here in America it's a different thing. Living in a different countr

But where is the response to homelessness in SF right in YC's backyard? This sounds like PR more than anything! Why take advantage of a bad situation?

Come on YC, glad you're funding the ACLU and it's much needed, but where is the response to the homelessness in San Francisco for example? We care more about refugees than people who already live here?! Too many companies are ta

How do you evaluate something like this at YC? Do you bring experts in the field or is the decision based on team, idea, and traction?

This sounds like Red Swoosh, a company Travis Kalanick (Uber CEO) started and was acquired by Akamai back in 2007. I was surprised that Akamai is a partner. They already do that... But anyways CDN is highly commoditized now and most big pl
