   We've applied to YC a few months back with a real estate app based exactly on this premise. The goal was saving people's time and money in the inefficient home-search process. Turned down, though.

   I wonder if "a year" can be divided other than from Jan to Dec, in a way to that would cause even worse results.

   Why not alert earlier and save people from spending money on garbage data :\?

   StockDroids.com is hosted on S3 and served using Cloudfront. It's pretty easy to get going if you don't mind getting a little technical. Not sure how price compares to the competition, though. HN's + /r/Android&#x27

    I think it's the 5s with CDMA, but whatever it is double check the bands before purchasing an imported phone, especially Chinese.

    I don't think any demand is exotic on it's own, but to get them all together you have to be pretty lucky. You'll need a company that can make a water resistant phone with a card slot, or is willing to give up the water resist

    Thanks everyone for the nice comments! Here is what's in the works. Hopefully answering most of your requests: - Upgradability (how fast does the phone get official updates) - Better specs (sent out emails to the companies yesterday) -

    It is planned but as sibling comment suggests, in the backlog for the moment. If anyone is interested in the technical details -- I am using an angular-cli version that doesn't support AOT compilation so no tree shaking. Also no Angula

    Quick question -- what's so good about ARM specifically? Aren't there other minimal architectures, maybe even one with lower/no licensing costs?

    Here's a great bit by Dan Ariely (behavioral economics) that might answer your question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOhb4LwAaJk And while I'm sharing Dan Ariely links, here's another one (but I can'

    Clicking the field's name on the left will let you filter. It should be more discoverable

    Discover Weekly is great. I have a playlist with 800+ songs thanks to it. Unfortunately, though, Spotify fails to shuffle play them correctly. I always get the same 100 songs :(

    A Linux port is actually feasible: > the Android container itself has no plans to be released (which is basically just the rootfs of an Android system). everything else is already released, and as noted, is using standard Linux technolo

    Super noob question: Where can I read in depth about the whole stack? An example question is how apps draw things on the screen (qt/gtk or neither)? Do they use OpenGL? Something else? Is there a good write up of this or do I need to
