Siege of Aiguillon
Siege of Aiguillon.
The Siege of Aiguillon commenced on 1 April 1346 during the Hundred Years' War, when a French army commanded by John, Duke of Normandy, laid siege to the Gascon town of Aiguillon. The town, with strategic command of the rivers Garonne and Lot, was defended by Anglo-Gascon forces under Ralph, Earl of Stafford. The garrison, some 900 men, sortied repeatedly to interrupt the French operations, while Henry, Earl of Lancaster, concentrated the main Anglo-Gascon force at La Réole as a threat. Duke John, the son and heir of Philip VI, was never able to fully blockade the town. By August, the seriously harassed French supply lines had broken down, there was a dysentery epidemic in their camp, desertion was rife, and Philip was demanding that John's force join up with the main French army. On 20 August the French abandoned the siege and marched away. Six days later Philip's army was decisively beaten by the main English army in the Battle of Crécy, two weeks before John's force arrived in the north.

Show HN: Evera Labs – DNA file storage/quantum computing decentralized network Hi HN - We are Nabeel, Zeel, Michael, Munish and Kanika of Evera Labs ( https://everalabs.com ). We are creating the world’s first integrated computing and file storage network powered by DNA file storage and quantum computing. Quantum computing bolsters the speed and security of our network, while our novel DNA encoding and decoding models allow for DNA file storage at a commercially viable scale and allows our network to be cheaper and faster. Our blockchain microtransaction system incentivizes network integrity. Evera Labs takes the best elements of the ethereum mainnet and combines them with distributed computing and file storage, all while being powered by the computing infrastructure of the future. While we offer private computing and file storage, users may push their data to our public research repository for a reduced rate, therefore incentivizing open-access research. Developers and researchers can use our network to scale DAaps and perform computation with big data respectively. The founding team consists of three Harvard undergrads (Nabeel, Zeel & Michael) who contribute to the scaling of our blockchain, DNA file storage, quantum computing and financial goals as well as two Ph.D students (Munish (biophysics) & Kanika (biochemistry) who are skilled in DNA based file storage and lead our research initiatives. While we are building our decentralized network with our development team, we are launching our first set of products that are set to drive network development. Our DNA file storage product ($200) allows users to enter their name and a short message, have that information be encoded in DNA, synthesized and sent to them while we also offer an early network pass ($2) that users can use to receive a 50% discount upon network launch. We would love to hear any of your ideas, suggestions and comments as well discuss the blockchain space as well. We are super excited to be launching here and can't wait to hear from you :) The Evera Labs Team April 1, 2019 at 04:00AM

Georgetown Car Barn
Georgetown Car Barn.
The Car Barn is a historic building in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Designed by the American architect Waddy Butler Wood, it was built between 1895 and 1897 by the Capital Traction Company as a union terminal for several Washington and Virginia streetcar lines. The Exorcist steps, later named after their appearance in William Friedkin's 1973 horror film The Exorcist, were built during the initial construction to connect M Street with Prospect Street. Almost immediately after its construction, it was converted to accommodate electric streetcars. The building has undergone several renovations, the most extensive in 1911, when the original Romanesque Revival façade was significantly modified and the interior was almost completely gutted. Changing ownership over time, it maintained its original function of housing streetcars until 1950, when it was redeveloped as office space. Today, it is used as an academic building by Georgetown University.

Show HN: A Site to Provide Better Explanations to Coding Interview Problems https://ift.tt/2Ul70f9
Show HN: A Site to Provide Better Explanations to Coding Interview Problems Hi all, Late last year, I did a round of interviews with big tech companies. During preparation, I realized that there were tons of sites with whiteboarding interview questions, but not a lot of well-explained ones. I decided to build https://algodaily.com , intended to be the easiest place on the internet to prepare for technical interviews. Every challenge is walked through step by step, and includes quizzes that help with recall. Every challenge is written in JS, which is IMO the best language for new programmers since it can easily be run and tested in the browser. I also recently wrote this article about technical interview prep: https://ift.tt/2uDLCTG... I encourage you guys to check out the site and leave feedback. It would be greatly appreciated as I try to build a better resource for web developers who want to level up! March 30, 2019 at 11:25AM

Albert Pierrepoint
Albert Pierrepoint.
Albert Pierrepoint (30 March 1905 – 10 July 1992) was an English hangman who executed between 435 and 600 people in a 25-year career that ended in 1956. His first execution was in December 1932, assisting his uncle Thomas. His father Henry had also been a hangman. In October 1941 he undertook his first hanging as lead executioner. During his tenure he hanged 200 people who had been convicted of war crimes in Germany and Austria, as well as several high-profile murderers—including Gordon Cummins (the Blackout Ripper), John Haigh (the Acid Bath Murderer) and John Christie (the Rillington Place Strangler). He undertook several contentious executions, including Timothy Evans, Derek Bentley and Ruth Ellis. He executed William Joyce (also known as Lord Haw-Haw) and John Amery for high treason, and Theodore Schurch for treachery. In the 2005 film Pierrepoint he was portrayed by Timothy Spall.

Referendum Party
Referendum Party.
The Referendum Party was a Eurosceptic political party, active in the United Kingdom from 1994 to 1997. The party's sole objective was a referendum on the nature of the UK's membership in the European Union. It was founded in November 1994 by the Anglo-French multi-millionaire businessman and politician James Goldsmith, an elected Member of the European Parliament for the Movement for France party. In the build-up to the 1997 general election, the Referendum Party spent more on press advertising than either the incumbent Conservatives or the Labour Party. It stood more candidates than any minor party had ever fielded in a UK election (in 547 of the 659 constituencies), and won 2.6% of the vote nationally, but failed to win any seats in the House of Commons. Support was strongest in southern and eastern England, and weakest in inner London, northern England, and Scotland. Goldsmith died in July 1997, and the party disbanded shortly after.

William Matthews (priest)
William Matthews (priest).
William Matthews (1770–1854) was the first person born in British America to be ordained a Catholic priest. Originally from the colonial Province of Maryland, he became influential in the establishment of Catholicism in Washington, D.C. through his parochial service and founding of several educational institutions. He was the second pastor of St. Patrick's Church, the President of Georgetown College (later known as Georgetown University), and the head of the Washington Catholic Seminary, which became Gonzaga College High School, in addition to being co-founder and president of the Washington Library Company, the first public library in the District of Columbia. He founded several orphanages, schools, and parishes, and was co-director of the District of Columbia Public Schools. In 1832 he officiated at the wedding of a French diplomat and Mary Anne Lewis, a ward of President Andrew Jackson, in the first Catholic ceremony to be held in the White House.

SMS Schlesien
SMS Schlesien.
SMS Schlesien was one of five Deutschland-class pre-dreadnought battleships that served in the German Imperial Navy. Named after the province of Silesia in 1906 and commissioned in 1908, Schlesien was primarily occupied with training cruises and fleet maneuvers in her early career. She served with the High Seas Fleet throughout the first two years of World War I, saw brief action at the Battle of Jutland, and became a training ship in 1917. The Treaty of Versailles permitted the German navy to keep eight obsolete battleships, including Schlesien, to defend the German coast. Modernized in the mid-1920s, the ship saw limited combat during World War II, briefly bombarding Polish forces during the invasion of Poland in September 1939. After escorting minesweepers during the invasion of Norway and Denmark in April 1940, she primarily served as a training ship and icebreaker. She was sunk by a mine in 1945 while tasked with providing fire support off the Baltic coast of occupied Poland.

Show HN: A good excuse to explore that side project idea If you're like me, you have at least a half-dozen (half-baked) ideas for side projects sitting on your "idea shelf" waiting for the right opportunity to come along and give you that spark to get started. At my day job (Bridge.Academy), we found that many of the incoming developers entering our program shared the same experience so we decided to do something about it and formalize the process of picking up a new technology you are trying to learn and applying it through a side-project with a program we're calling "The Bridge Tournament". It's designed to give you that extra bit of motivation to take your side project idea off the shelf, pick up a brand new technology and start building the damn thing. Here’s how it works Each month new applicants to join Bridge.Academy participate in a tournament in order to demonstrate their ability to quickly pick up new skills through working on a project of their choosing.

(Contributors will be pampered!) https://ift.tt/2utFNsf https://ift.tt/2HTgiIy Just got done publishing 0.1.2 and have a pretty good feel for what I want in making an FFT derivative for streaming / logarithmic display. One of the projects (Trello things) is still pretty much a rough draft, but it outlines how I'm intending to go at the architecture. In short, I want to support metamaterials for generic 3D content to be Nguyen-ified and lots of composition. I learned Rust & Vulkan for this project and look forward to actually getting good at both of them to start landing more PR's in upstream. March 26, 2019 at 10:23AM

The Sunday Times
The Sunday Times.
Diamonds Are Forever is the fourth novel by the English author Ian Fleming to feature his fictional British Secret Service agent James Bond. Fleming wrote the story at his Goldeneye estate in Jamaica, inspired by a Sunday Times article on diamond smuggling. The book was first published on 26 March 1956. The story centres on Bond's investigation of a diamond-smuggling operation that originates in the mines of Sierra Leone and runs to Las Vegas. Along the way Bond meets and falls in love with one of the members of the smuggling gang, Tiffany Case. Fleming's background research formed the basis for his non-fiction 1957 book The Diamond Smugglers. The Bond novel received broadly positive reviews at the time of publication. It was serialised in the Daily Express newspaper, first in an abridged, multi-part form and then as a comic strip. In 1971 it was adapted into the seventh film in the Bond series, and the sixth one to star Sean Connery as Bond.

Project E
Project E.
Project E was a Cold War arrangement under which the United States provided the United Kingdom with nuclear weapons for the Royal Air Force (RAF). It was later expanded to provide warheads to the British Army, and there was a maritime version known as Project N that provided nuclear depth bombs. US personnel retained custody of the weapons, and handled their storage, maintenance and readiness. The first bombers equipped with Project E weapons were Canberras (example pictured). Due to the operational restrictions, and the loss of independence of the British nuclear deterrent, Project E bombs were phased out in the strategic role in 1962, although they still equipped tactical bombers, and were used on the Thor missiles operated by the RAF from 1959 to 1963 under Project Emily. The British Army acquired Project E warheads for its Corporal, Honest John and Lance missiles, and its artillery pieces. The last Project E weapons were withdrawn from service in 1992.

Hydnum repandum
Hydnum repandum.
Hydnum repandum, the hedgehog mushroom, is a fungus of the family Hydnaceae. First described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753, it is the type species of its genus. The cap is dry, colored yellow to light orange to brown, and often develops an irregular shape, especially when crowded. The mushrooms are characterized by spore-bearing structures—in the form of spines rather than gills—which hang down from the underside of the cap. The mushroom tissue is white with a pleasant odor and a spicy or bitter taste. All parts of the mushroom stain orange with age or when bruised. A mycorrhizal fungus, H. repandum is broadly distributed in Europe, Asia and western North America, where it fruits singly or in close groups in coniferous or deciduous woodland. This is a choice edible species, although mature specimens can develop a bitter taste. The mushrooms are sold in local markets of Europe and Canada.

Emesa helmet
Emesa helmet.
The Emesa helmet is an iron Roman cavalry helmet from the early first century AD. Its face mask, covered in a thin sheet of silver, presents the individualised portrait of a face, likely that of its owner. Decorations, some gilded, adorn the head piece. Ornately designed yet highly functional, the helmet was probably intended for both parades and battle. Its delicate covering is too fragile to have been put to use during cavalry tournaments, but the thick iron core would have defended against blows and arrows. It bears acanthus scroll ornamentation, indicating that the helmet may have come from the luxury workshops of Antioch. Confiscated by Syrian police in 1936 soon after looters discovered it amidst a complex of tombs in the modern-day city of Homs, the helmet was eventually restored at the British Museum. It has been exhibited internationally, and is now in the collection of the National Museum of Damascus.

Xixiasaurus
Xixiasaurus.
Xixiasaurus is a genus of troodontid dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous. The only known specimen (a partial skull, jaw with teeth, and forelimb) was discovered in Xixia County, Henan Province, in central China, and was given a species description in 2010. Xixiasaurus is estimated to have been 1.5 metres (5 ft) long and to have weighed 8 kilograms (18 lb). As a troodontid with some similarities to Byronosaurus, the genus would have been bird-like and lightly built, with grasping hands and an enlarged sickle-shaped claw on the second toe. Its skull was long, with a long, low snout that formed a tapering U-shape when seen from below. The frontal bone of the forehead was dome-like in side view, indicating an enlarged braincase. Troodontids had keen senses and were probably agile. The lack of serrated teeth indicates that Xixiasaurus and some other troodontids were herbivorous, as they had lost the ability to slice meat.

Fôrça Bruta
Fôrça Bruta.
Fôrça Bruta (Brute Force) is the seventh studio album by Brazilian singer-songwriter and guitarist Jorge Ben, recorded with the Trio Mocotó band (pictured) and released by Philips Records in September 1970. It introduced an acoustic samba-based music that was mellower, moodier, and less ornate than Ben's preceding work. In a largely unrehearsed nighttime recording session, the singer improvised and experimented with unconventional rhythmic arrangements, musical techniques, and elements of soul, funk, and rock. Ben's lyrics explored themes of romantic passion, melancholy, sensuality, and—in a departure from the carefree sensibility of past releases—identity politics and elements of postmodernism. A commercial and critical success, Fôrça Bruta established Ben as a leading artist in Brazil's Tropicália movement and pioneered a sound later known as samba rock. The album's first American release came in 2007, the same year that Rolling Stone Brasil named it the 61st greatest Brazilian music record.

Show HN: Songcraft – Online Songwriting Platform and Guitar Tab Builder Hi HN! I'm Gabe, the creator of Songcraft ( https://ift.tt/2Oe8G4J ). I recently dove headfirst into songwriting, and I quickly grew frustrated with my process. I found songwriting difficult enough without having to wrangle a mess of different tools, and there's no great solution to build chord sheets and tabs (unless you love pure text input). So, I built Songcraft - an online songwriting platform and tab builder. The drag-and-drop editor makes it easy to jump from chords to lyrics to melodies. I added a chord progression generator and chord recommendation engine to ensure the ideas keep flowing. The integrated tuner, rhyming dictionary, metronome, and audio recorder allow you to stay focused without distraction. A few months ago I shared the beta on Hacker News and got some incredibly helpful feedback and some amazing beta users. Since then, I've revamped the product and made a ton of improvements and additions. Today is launch day, and I wouldn't be here without Hacker News! I'd love to hear your thoughts and answer any questions you may have. Drop a line here or at gabe@songcraft.io. March 20, 2019 at 11:21PM

1896 Cedar Keys hurricane
1896 Cedar Keys hurricane.
The 1896 Cedar Keys hurricane was a powerful tropical cyclone that devastated much of the East Coast of the United States, starting with Florida's Cedar Keys, near the end of September. The storm's rapid movement allowed it to maintain much of its intensity after landfall, becoming one of the costliest United States hurricanes at the time. The fourth tropical cyclone of the 1896 Atlantic hurricane season, it washed out the railroad connecting the Cedar Keys to the mainland with a 10.5 ft (3.2 m) storm surge, and submerged the smaller, outlying islands (mainland flooding pictured). The hurricane killed at least 70 people in mainland Florida, and razed 5,000 sq mi (13,000 km2) of dense pine forests in the northern part of the state. In Savannah, Georgia, fierce winds unroofed thousands of structures. In Washington, D.C., the White House grounds were left in disarray. Monuments at the Gettysburg Battlefield were damaged. Along the storm's path, it caused at least 202 deaths.

Launch HN: Cliperado – Automatically take screenshots of your whole service https://ift.tt/2FhJyWm
Launch HN: Cliperado – Automatically take screenshots of your whole service Cliperado ( https://cliperado.com ) is an online tool to automatically take screenshots of your service and keep the shots up-to-date in your help guides. The idea for Cliperado came when we were creating visual step by step guides, to reduce our support volume, for an other service. We needed about 200 clips for each language. It took so much time to create just a few. I was pulling my hair out. Especially with the thought of having to check all the clips for changes in a month from now, manually. You’ve probably seen a few online tutorials with outdated and confusing screenshots. You probably have a some outdated screenshot in your own manuals. I get that, it is just too much work to keep these updated manually. So we created Cliperado, to automate this. How Cliperado works. Cliperado takes full page retina screenshots of your online service. It can take screenshots of pages behind a login screen as well, by filling out forms, clicking on buttons or hover over menus, etc , etc. You can crop a screenshot, add arrows or highlights, to create clips for step-by-step guides. Cliperado hosts these clips online. You can schedule Cliperado to refresh the screenshots weekly. Changed screenshots are highlighted in the visual sitemap, so you don’t have to hunt down changes. When you expect a screenshot to change with every refresh, you can mask certain areas, to exclude these from comparison. We hope you want to give Cliperado a try. We are looking forward to your feedback. March 20, 2019 at 05:08AM

John C. Calhoun
John C. Calhoun.
John C. Calhoun (March 18, 1782 – March 31, 1850) was a senator from South Carolina, a Cabinet member, and the seventh Vice President of the United States, from 1825 to 1832, under presidents John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson. Calhoun began his political career in the House of Representatives as a prominent leader of the war hawk faction supporting the War of 1812. Early in his career, he was a modernizer and a proponent of a strong national government and protective tariffs. By the late 1820s, his views reversed and he became a leading proponent of states' rights, limited government, and opposition to high tariffs. His support for South Carolina's right to nullify federal tariff legislation put him into conflict with unionists such as Jackson, and in 1832 he resigned as vice president and entered the Senate. As Secretary of State under John Tyler from 1844 to 1845, he supported the annexation of Texas as a means to promote slavery, and helped settle the Oregon boundary dispute with Britain.

Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral
Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral.
Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral is a Gothic revival cathedral in Cork, Ireland, whose modern building was completed in 1879, and today belongs to the Church of Ireland. The cathedral is dedicated to Finbarr of Cork, patron saint of the city, who may have founded a monastery on the grounds in the seventh century. During the medieval period, the site underwent successive wars and repeated construction and damage. Fin Barre's rebuilding was commissioned in the mid-19th century as the first major project for the Victorian architect William Burges, who designed most of its architecture, interior sculpture, stained glass, mosaics and interior furniture. Many of the external sculptures, including the gargoyles, were modeled by Thomas Nicholls. The exterior is capped by three spires, and is mostly built from local stone. The main entrance contains representations of over a dozen biblical figures, capped by a tympanum showing a Resurrection scene.

Launch HN: Nabis (YC W19) – Cannabis Shipping and Logistics https://ift.tt/2uaj5VN
Launch HN: Nabis (YC W19) – Cannabis Shipping and Logistics Hi HN! We’re Vince and Jun, the founders of Nabis ( https://ift.tt/2UKLnlz ). We are building a software and infrastructure solution to ship legal cannabis products for brands to licensed dispensaries throughout California. About two years ago when the legalization of recreational cannabis was pending in CA, we were excited as consumers to be able to try out a variety of products without having to get a medical card. While we knew that many more brands were coming to market, we discovered that there was a lack of supply chain infrastructure to support the growing demand. We started out driving our own personal vehicles across the state to help a friend ship his products just to learn more about how the supply chain was set up. We learned that brands were still predominantly self-distributing, since you can’t just Fedex cannabis products due to compliance restrictions. Apart from shipping, the lack of secure warehousing space, a ubiquitous cash-based payment system, and vague new regulatory language all created massive friction to building a sound and cost-effective supply chain for cannabis products. Once we started shipping more orders than we could deliver ourselves, we hired a team and built out a web portal that automates the most tedious parts of our operations, especially with regards to compliance and paperwork for shipping, storing, and testing cannabis products. We wanted to help scale the growing cannabis industry that was about to legalize, and convert more of the illicit black market into the legal market. When recreational legalization commenced in January 2018, we applied for our distribution license since that would allow us to continue building our business as the logistics backbone for the industry. We thought distribution was the best place to start as it sits right at the center of the supply chain as the final checkpoint before products are sold into the retail market. By scaling out distribution, we help drive down the costs for everyone in the industry due to the economies of scale that we can achieve by owning one set of infrastructure for multiple brands, rather than having each brand build out its own delivery and warehousing solution. Today, Nabis tracks and delivers over 1,000 SKUs for nearly 40 of the largest brands to 90% of retail dispensaries in California. The data that we track gives us insights into the cannabis market as it continues to grow rapidly, providing data-driven metrics of what brands and product categories will perform best in the market. We want to continue to support as many products that consumers love by ensuring reliable shipping and logistics of products to retailers. By expanding our infrastructure and portfolio of brands, we’re hoping to achieve our ultimate goal of scaling cannabis access to the masses and become the widest distributor of cannabis products. Thanks for reading and hope that you continue to support the legal cannabis market! We’re looking to build a community of technologists to grow a data-driven supply chain for the cannabis industry, and we’d love to talk to you if you’re interested in working with us.

Tom Thomson
Tom Thomson.
Tom Thomson (1877–1917) was a Canadian artist active in the early 20th century. During his short career he produced roughly 400 oil sketches on small wood panels and around 50 larger pieces on canvas. His works consist almost entirely of landscapes depicting trees, skies, lakes, and rivers. He used broad brush strokes and a liberal application of paint to capture the beauty and colour of the Ontario landscape. His paintings The Jack Pine (pictured) and The West Wind have taken a prominent place in the culture of Canada and are some of the country's most iconic works. Although he died before the formal establishment of the Group of Seven, Thomson's art is typically exhibited with theirs. Nearly all of his work remains in Canada—mainly at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, the McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Kleinburg and the Tom Thomson Art Gallery in Owen Sound. His accidental death at 39 by drowning is seen as a tragedy for Canadian art.

Launch HN: Bottomless (YC W19) – Coffee Restocked with a Smart Scale https://ift.tt/2Hpu7yV
Launch HN: Bottomless (YC W19) – Coffee Restocked with a Smart Scale Hello, HN! We're Michael and Liana, co-founders of Bottomless ( https://bottomless.com ) Bottomless automatically re-stocks coffee using a smart scale. Users leave their coffee on the scale, then we detect the perfect time to trigger re-orders. We ship the scale for free when customers buy their first bag. We met in college, and bonded over talking about businesses we could build together. You could say we've kept in touch since then: we're now married. Bottomless was born out of our frustration managing our household stock levels. We always seemed to be running out of one thing or another. When we thought about it, we realized that restocking was a universal problem. But if this was such a big problem, why was there no great solution? Subscriptions should be a solution, but they don’t work well for items that aren’t used on a set schedule. It seemed that if we could capture data on usage and stock levels in a passive way, we could solve the problem. Thus, Bottomless, the concept, was born. The market for stuff people repeatedly buy is enormous. (We'll leave an exact estimate up to the reader's imagination.) We decided that to start we'd establish a beachhead with a single market. We landed on selling premium coffee because it's cheap to ship and has good margins. It also is much better shipped straight from the roaster than bought at the grocery store. In the beginning, we built the simplest thing possible to test if the concept would work. We hacked together a scale prototype, made five of them and got them into the hands of friends. We bought coffee from roaster websites with our customers’ addresses to bootstrap supply. The goal was to test if people would leave their coffee on a scale, and if we could reorder at the right time. It turns out they would and we could! Since then, it's been a matter of making larger batches of scales. We bought a few 3D printers and acquired quite a few burned fingers from soldering. We've benefited from a few technological tailwinds. For one, smartphone supply chain has driven down the cost of components quite a bit. We've been able to build hardware that works for this business model out of super cheap WiFi modules and LiPos. Also, the level of open source software for ML is quite powerful and well-documented. We're aware that we are just scratching the surface of re-ordering hardware. We'd be interested to hear ideas that the community might have about this space! March 16, 2019 at 03:02AM

We've discovered that the way most people end up with their current bank is by default (ex: parents set it up for them), rather than by choice. The complete opposite was the case for credit cards; credit cards were actually chosen based on their qualities. We began to wonder why a solution that combined the rewards and benefits of a credit card, with the simplicity of a bank account didn’t exist. After extensive research and testing of various existing products, we determined that everything came up short for our personal needs. That was the problem. Whether it was simply the lack of a clean mobile user experience, or rewards that were relevant, nothing managed to fit the bill. Since banks are a fundamental part of our everyday modern lives, we shouldn’t have to settle for a less-than-stellar experience just because that’s the current standard. That’s when we realized, we don’t have to settle. This was an exciting enough realization for us all to quit our day jobs as product managers, designers, and engineers. We decided we needed to create a revolutionary bank. In order to solve this problem, we created a new-and-improved debit card. We are focusing our efforts on debit because it is currently the most popular payment method. Although debit is the preferred method, in the real world, there is little incentive to use one over the perks offered by credit cards. This unfortunately leads the majority of the dissatisfied group to settle for credit cards, with their offer of limited perks that typically come hand-in-hand with unavoidable debt. Our business model is sustainable because we are partnered with a smaller regional bank and don’t have the hefty over head of a branch network. The reason we don’t see larger banks offering debit cards with rewards is because of the "Durbin Act”; a federal mandate which slashed interchange margins of banks with more than $10 billion in deposits. This was done in order to protect consumers and merchants from increasing and predatory prices that banks were trying to instill. If successful in our mission we hope to keep the up and comers out of un-necessary credit cards and raise the standards of user experience for banks. There is no reason why dealing with your bank should be as dreadful as the DMV. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on what we are building and are open to any and all suggestions.

Planar transmission line
Planar transmission line.
Planar transmission lines are flat, ribbon-shaped transmission lines with conductors, or in some cases dielectric (insulating) strips. They are used to interconnect components on printed circuits and integrated circuits working at microwave frequencies, since the planar lines are suited to the manufacturing methods for these components. Transmission line theory is used when the line is longer than a large fraction of a wavelength. At microwave frequencies, this distance is measured in millimetres, which is small enough that these lines can be used for constructing components as well as interconnecting them. The cross-section of the line is usually kept constant so that its electrical behaviour is highly predictable. The first planar transmission line, stripline, was conceived during World War II by Robert M. Barrett; other types in modern use include microstrip, suspended stripline, and coplanar waveguide.

Launch HN: Nala (YC W19) – Internet-Free Mobile Payments App for Africa https://ift.tt/2JeCyiB
Launch HN: Nala (YC W19) – Internet-Free Mobile Payments App for Africa Hi HN! I’m Benjamin, one of the co-founders of NALA ( https://www.nala.money ), an application that simplifies the process of making mobile payments for our users in Africa. My co-founder Sam and I first met back in 2016 while I was working at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (focusing on financial services in Africa), and he was earning his Ph.D. in computer science at the University of Washington (researching mobile money security in Sub-Saharan Africa). As you may know, the way that mobile payments are made in many developing markets is quite different from how they're made in the rest of the world. In much of Sub-Saharan Africa, people make payments using mobile money, an electronic wallet service that is typically tied to a user's cell phone carrier and sim card. Using a 39-46 digit sequence of short codes (i.e. dialing a code such as 150 30, waiting for a screen to pop-up, dialing another code and waiting for that screen, repeat, etc.) that are received by the user's cell phone carrier, a user can request to send money to a friend, pay a bill, or purchase airtime all without being connected to the internet and accessible via smartphone and basic feature phone alike. (M-Pesa, which you may have heard of, is just one of the many such mobile money services offered in Sub-Saharan Africa). While mobile money has undoubtedly transformed the way that millions of people transact, the process of executing a mobile money payment is time-consuming, arduous, and prone to error, resulting in a less than ideal transactor experience. After moving back to my home country of Tanzania in 2017 and conducting 700+ on-the-ground interviews, Sam and I founded NALA, the first internet-free mobile money smartphone application. NALA interfaces with existing mobile money providers (M-Pesa, Airtel, tiGO etc.), and provides users with a simple Venmo-like payment experience. To deliver this capability, NALA has built a USSD automator tool to send requests over existing USSD channels. Our product serves as a central platform where users can initialize payments for all of their mobile money accounts (having multiple sim cards and mobile money accounts is extremely common in Sub-Saharan Africa as inter-network transaction fees are lower than out-of-network fees), and for the first time ever, access their transaction histories through our rich transaction tool. While we will make a percentage cut for every bill payment and airtime top-up that is conducted on our platform, we are primarily focused on growing our active user-base. As Sub-Saharan Africa mobile money usage proliferates ($860+ million in daily transaction values and close to 400 million mobile money accounts), smartphone penetration approaches 40%, and the fastest growing middle class of any continent comes into its own, we believe there is massive potential to transform and shape the African payment space. Building a product that thoughtfully addresses our users' financial challenges is what excites and energizes us. The pernicious transaction fees that mobile money users are subject to is an area of particular interest and focus. We would love to hear about HN's ideas and experiences in this space, as well as answer any questions you might have! March 15, 2019 at 04:05AM

Show HN: C++17 In Detail, a book that will move you from C++11/14 to C++17 Hi! Last year in August I've released my first self-published book. C++17 In Detail Available at Leanpub: https://ift.tt/2LgTiRU Keeping up with the latest changes in the language is quite hard. C++ moves quite fast recently, and there are many exciting features added with each iteration. The book shows all the significant changes in the language and the Standard Library. The chapters are much easier to grasp than reading reference pages or the Standard itself. It's a great guide for any C++ developer who knows a little about C++11/14 and wants to move forward. In August the book was 90% ready, and I worked since then to write the last chapters and improve the content. In March it reached finally the 100% status :) I would appreciate any feedback! You can also ask me about the publishing process. March 15, 2019 at 12:47AM

Packers sweep
Packers sweep.
The Packers sweep is an American football play popularized in the 1960s by Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi. It is a variation on the sweep, in which a back takes a pitch or hand-off from the quarterback and runs parallel to the line of scrimmage. This allows the offensive linemen (usually the guards) and the fullback to block defenders before the runner turns upfield. According to one estimate, the Packers sweep gained an average of 8.3 yards (7.6 m) per attempt in its first three seasons. Lombardi built his offensive game plan around running it, or threatening to run it. His teams of the 1960s won five National Football League Championships and the first two Super Bowls. Five offensive players from these teams were later elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and Lombardi was elected shortly after his death in 1971.

Launch HN: Travelchime (YC W19) – Doc for travel planning with friends We're Peter and Harry, and we're building Travelchime ( https://travelchime.com ). Travelchime is like Google Docs for planning vacation travel with your friends' recommendations. It lets you add places and attractions you're looking to visit to a doc, export them to Google Maps, and collaborate with your friends who've been there or are going there with you. We used to plan our trips using Google Docs and Sheets, but it was a pain. We'd write the documents, then had to add the same places to a map for when we're on the trip. We also often sent these out to friends who asked -- there's nobody whose recommendations you trust more than your friends -- but it's hard to find which friends have these docs. We built Travelchime to solve this. With Travelchime, you can: 1. Add all the museums, restaurants, and places you're staying/want to visit to a doc on Travelchime, and see them on a map with their opening times, links to Yelp, and more 2. Share the doc with friends on the trip or ask others for recommendations: multiple people can edit/suggest at the same time, just like Google Docs [1] 3. Export the places to Google Maps for when you're on the go 4. (Optional) Read some itineraries from around the web to get inspired! We use basic machine learning [2] to parse itineraries for the places they mention to help get you started 5. Once you’ve gone on the trip, you can share the full itinerary with notes to inspire your friends We haven’t monetized, but will eventually link out to hotels that work well with your itinerary and get affiliate commissions there. We've gotten a ton of support from Hacker News in the past: when Yale shut down our courses website, Hacker News rallied and got the attention on it to save it ( https://ift.tt/1m1R3RF ), and past HN launches (e.g., for WrapAPI: https://ift.tt/1UQiNfO ) got us our first paying customers. We love the direct feedback we get, so if you're planning a trip soon, give it a shot and let us know what you think either here or by email at peter@travelchime.com! [1] To enable real-time editing, we use Quill ( https://quilljs.com/ ) and ShareDB ( https://ift.tt/1Mdh2AB ), both amazing projects. We had also tried Draft.js, Slate, so if you want to chat text editing hit us up!

Launch HN: Superb AI (YC W19) – AI-Powered Training Data https://ift.tt/2O2N771
Launch HN: Superb AI (YC W19) – AI-Powered Training Data Hi HN, I’m Hyun, one of the co-founders of Superb AI ( https://ift.tt/2J9xifT ) in the YC W19 batch. We use AI to semi-automatically collect and label training data for tech companies, and help them implement machine-learning based features faster. Almost all the magical AI features that we see are actually built using training data powered by humans. Companies build software tools and farm out to a bunch of people to click and type things repeatedly to label the raw data. That's how training data is made, and that’s a very large portion of what an AI is, up to this point. It has worked well up to now, but the process is not very fast and often prone to error. Moreover, the size of training datasets has increased exponentially over the past few years, as it almost guarantees a higher AI performance. AI engineers are now handling datasets as large as tens of millions of images, and thus there is a great need for a better way to build training data. We started out as a team of five — Hyun (myself, CEO), Jungkwon (CTO), Jonghyuk and Moonsu (AI Engineers), and Hyundong (Operations), and after about a year, we are now a team of thirteen members. We have backgrounds in robotics, computer vision, data mining, and algorithmic programming, and we all worked together at a corporate AI research lab for around two years. While working on various projects from self-driving to StarCraft game AI, we experienced first-hand how building the training data was one of the biggest hurdles for developing new AI-based products and changing people’s lives. We initially tried to solve this problem from an academic perspective and published a research paper on using coarsely labeled training data for machine learning [0]. Soon, we decided to work on a more practical and widely applicable solution to this problem and that’s why we started this company. So how do we use AI to solve this problem? There are largely two approaches we take. The first is, we try to automate as many pieces of the data building pipeline as possible using AI. To do so, we split the process into many smaller steps. If we take an image-labeling task, for example, putting bounding box labels around each object can be split into 1) scanning the image to find the type and location of each object, 2) drawing bounding boxes around each, 3) refining and validating all annotations. Some of these smaller task chunks can be completely automated using AI. For others, we build AI tools that can assist humans. And for really difficult ones, we do have human workers to do it manually. It’s a tricky problem because we need to understand what kind of tasks AI can do better than humans and vice versa, and carefully choose which tasks to automate. Secondly, we try to improve our AI components throughout a given data building project using a human-in-the-loop AI approach. The key is that we bootstrap and feed portions of the training data we make back into our AI so that we can fine-tune them on the fly over the duration of a project. For example, we may start a project with a baseline AI (“version 1”), and for every 20% of a particular training dataset we make, we iterate and keep fine-tuning our AI so that by the end of the project we will have AI “version 5" that is specifically trained for the project. So as our AI components improve, human contribution gets smaller and smaller over time, and in the end, we will need very minimal human intervention. Ultimately, we want to make it like how humans learn. We see others do something for a few times, and we quickly learn how to do it ourselves. As our technology improves, our AI will be able to learn from only a few examples of human demonstration. We found out that using AI in these two approaches not only makes the process faster but also more accurate. One of the reasons there is an accuracy problem with existing manual labeling services is that humans have to do too much. They spend hours and hours doing the same clicking repeatedly. But by us making it almost painless for humans to figure out what to do, they not only get through more data but they are not as exhausted or cognitively loaded. Our current customers, including LG Electronics, are from industries ranging from autonomous vehicles and consumer to physical security and manufacturing. A large majority of tech companies have a shortage of AI experts and need to develop machine-learning based features with a very limited number of them. As a result, these companies do not have enough resources to build their own automated data building pipeline and often rely on outsourced manual labor. We can deliver training data much faster and better than these vendors that extensively rely on manual labor. We are extremely grateful to have the chance to introduce ourselves to the HN community and hear your feedback. And we're happy to answer any of your questions. Thank you!

Show HN: Building computer labs in schools in Africa https://ift.tt/2HsXUpH
Show HN: Building computer labs in schools in Africa My name is Nelly Cheboi. I am the co-founder of https://ift.tt/2UuEmEZ , an organization that fosters a more technologically literate Africa by building computer labs in African schools. I was raised in Mogotio, Kenya, in abject poverty. At nine years old, I collected wild vegetables on my way from school to cook for my younger sister. The only way I knew out was by studying. So I studied. I studied hard. And I ended with a full-ride scholarship to Augustana College, IL. I was majoring in Chemistry before I discovered computer science my junior year of college. I loved it. With only three semesters left, I decided to get a degree in it. I also built a school with the aim of fostering digital literacy. I doubled down on my work-study program, got some donations from friends and four months later I launched Zawadi Preparatory (www.zawadiprep.tech). We admitted 30 kids at its launch in January 2016. Barely 3 years later, we are at 150 kids. In summer 2018, we built a computer lab at Zawadi Prep. We collected computer donations, bundled it with elementary OS along with open source education software. There is no broadband internet, so we downloaded terabytes of content for our local server including Wikipedia and Stack Overflow. We showed the villagers how to make a Rails app at our free after school program. I cannot think of a better success story than the one of my seven-year-old niece, Michelle. My friend came over to the lab. Michelle asked, "do you want to see our content?" They were like, "sure." She then opened up a computer, navigated to `192.168.0.2` and said, "look, we have all these." I teared up a little bit. I did not teach any of that. Our goal for 2019 is to build 10 more computer labs in 10 different Kenyan schools. I always wanted to end poverty. To me, teaching digital literacy is the best way I know how. We now have over one hundred donated workstations. To meet our goal, we need a few hundred more. https://ift.tt/2UuEmEZ March 13, 2019 at 07:34AM
Apollo 15 postal covers incident
Apollo 15 postal covers incident.
The Apollo 15 postal covers incident was a scandal involving the crew of NASA's Apollo 15 lunar landing mission, who in 1971 carried about 400 unauthorized postal covers (example pictured) to the Moon's surface. American astronauts David Scott, Alfred Worden and James Irwin agreed to receive about $7,000 each for carrying the covers into space. These covers were inside the lunar lander Falcon as Scott and Irwin walked on the Moon, and were postmarked both prior to liftoff from Kennedy Space Center and after splashdown. Though the astronauts returned the money, they were reprimanded by NASA for poor judgment and were called before a closed session of a Senate committee. They were removed as the backup crew for Apollo 17 and never flew in space again; by 1977 all had left NASA. In 1983, Worden sued for the return of those covers that had been impounded in 1972, and the three men received them in an out-of-court settlement. One of the covers that had been provided to West German stamp dealer Hermann Sieger sold for over $50,000 in 2014.

Launch HN: Axdraft (YC W19) - Legal documents for startups in minutes https://ift.tt/2UwzXS1
Launch HN: Axdraft (YC W19) - Legal documents for startups in minutes Hi HN! We are Yuriy and Oleg, founders of Axdraft ( https://ift.tt/2XQ5ksW ). Axdraft offers free legal documents for startups. We have built Axdraft, because we believe that sometimes founders don’t need 20-page ironclad contract, 2 weeks of negotiations and detailed explanation of all risks. On early stages you just want to have a good, balanced agreement fast to move the deal forward while it's hot. The biggest difficulty here is that lawyers push us to perceive contracts as unique and, therefore, not possible to automate. Usually, by saying unique, they mean that there are 20-50 possible variations of a clause in the contract. We are a team of brothers, who combine legal and tech expertise, Yuriy was a lawyer for almost 8 years at one of top law firms in Europe and when he started noticing that even the most complex legal transactions have many patterns, he reached out to his brother Oleg, who at that time was Senior Software Engineer at Booking.com in Amsterdam. We teamed up to try to figure out and automate most common variations and allow any young startup, as ourselves to draft a document, which they need now. We spoke to about 100 founders and came up with a list of top-6 contracts startups use, including: (1) NDA; (2) Pilot agreement; (3) Services agreement; (4) SaaS agreement; (5) SAFE; and (6) Employee onboarding. We are already working on Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Founders Agreement and LoI, which are top-4 documents requested by users. We will be more than happy to add other documents upon your request. Our main differences compared to Clerky, LegalZoom, RocketLawyer and similar solutions are: 1. we focus on startups, which makes the content more tailored; 2. we offer documents for free, because I see little value in the legal document itself. The main value of a lawyer, in our view, is in counseling, sharing the liability and providing you assurances; 3. we offer plain English description of the implications for each choice you are offered when drafting a document; 4. to use Axdraft you don’t have to register, because we want to create flawless and super-fast experience for founders to create legal documents; 5. we are happy to customize documents of registered users with their logos, company details and some custom language upon request. We intend to monetize Axdraft by giving an option for startups to submit any document drafted with Axdraft or a document they received from third party for approval or review by a lawyer for a small fixed fee, which would still be much more affordable than engaging a law firm. Currently, we offer founder to founder review, which is not a legal review at all, but more a business advice from a fellow founder, who is eager to share his experience with similar contracts. We estimate the market for this product to be less than 1 bln USD at the moment, but we expect it to grow as the number of startups founded each year increases and as we expand into a larger 7 bln USD market of small businesses (under 20 employees) in the US. We are really excited to hear your feedback about Axdraft. Please try it out at https://ift.tt/2SXiEIk (registration is not required) and let us know what you think. March 13, 2019 at 03:24AM

Launch HN: Latchel (YC W19) – Rental Property Maintenance as a Service https://ift.tt/2u2xrau
Launch HN: Latchel (YC W19) – Rental Property Maintenance as a Service Hi HN! We're Ethan, Jullian, and Will. We're the founders of Latchel ( https://latchel.com/ ). We handle 24/7 maintenance for residential property managers and landlords across the US. Ethan was Director of Product at One Planet Ops, the creator of websites like contractors.com, homegain.com, and many other lead gen marketplaces. Jullian is a self-taught developer and designer who has built mobile and web apps, most recently at picmonic.com. Will comes from Amazon, where he helped design and deploy the last mile delivery operations for Amazon Fresh, Prime Now, and Amazon Logistics across the US and the world. Will started the company when his family needed help running the family rental properties. His grandfather managed the properties full time all the way into his mid 90s! Sadly, his age caught up with him and he could no longer take care of the family business after getting diagnosed with Alzheimer's. The disease progressed quickly and unfortunately the family did not have a succession plan in place (advice to anyone with a family business: plan the succession early, you don't want to spend energy worrying about the family business when you want to focus on taking care of a parent's medical or end of life care). Will helped his father with the properties as much as he could while working full time at Amazon but was quickly overwhelmed by the maintenance dispatching and follow-up. He saw that the overall process was very similar to the logistics and delivery problems he was solving at Amazon. After looking for solutions online and calling Ethan to see if he knew of any solutions they couldn't find any. Ultimately, we teamed up to build what we couldn't find on the market: a service to handle rental maintenance problems and ensure work orders don't slip through the cracks. Maintenance coordination is a difficult problem to solve because it is fundamentally a communications problem that isn't easily solved by software. First, most contractors are third party and take jobs infrequently from a property manager, so they're extremely unwilling to adopt a new process for reporting work is complete or for getting paid. Second, tenants also interact with their managers rarely, so mobile applications (and even online portals) have low adoption rates among renters. Lastly, property managers face an agency problem--ultimately it isn't their properties, it is their clients who own the property. The property manager is responsible for its care and maintenance and want to be able to have all of the details of what happened and to know why certain decisions were made in case something went wrong. We sell monthly subscription services to property managers to take all of their maintenance calls. We have two paid subscriptions: 24/7 Emergency and a premium option where we handle both emergencies and non-emergencies. We also have a free software tier that gives property managers an online web portal for tenant maintenance request submission. This online submission tries to detect emergency scenarios and our software automatically calls the property manager in case of emergency. In addition to the monthly subscription services we also take a 10% referral fee from contractors we source for the jobs (we cover the credit card processing fees). The HN community is full of people working on simplifying the oftentimes ugly interface between the real world and idealized technology systems. We'd love to hear your questions, thoughts, and concerns about this problem space. March 12, 2019 at 11:59PM

Washington State Route 522
Washington State Route 522.
State Route 522 (SR 522) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Washington that serves the Seattle metropolitan area. Approximately 25 miles (40 km) long, it connects the city of Seattle to the northeastern suburbs of Kenmore, Bothell, Woodinville, and Monroe. Its western half is primarily an arterial street, named Lake City Way and Bothell Way, that follows the northern shore of Lake Washington; the eastern half is a grade-separated freeway that runs between Woodinville and Monroe. SR 522 connects several of the metropolitan area's major highways, including Interstate 5, Interstate 405, SR 9, and U.S. Route 2. The present day route of SR 522 was built in stages between 1907 and 1965, beginning with the Red Brick Road from Seattle to Bothell, then part of the Pacific Highway and later U.S. Route 99. Since the late 1990s, the SR 522 corridor between Woodinville and Monroe has been partially converted to a freeway to address safety concerns and a growing population.

Launch HN: MedCrypt (YC W19) Medical Device Cybersecurity https://ift.tt/2O1RFdW
Launch HN: MedCrypt (YC W19) Medical Device Cybersecurity Hi HN! We're Eric and Mike, founders of MedCrypt ( https://ift.tt/2u3aST7 ). Our mission is to make it easy for healthcare technology companies to build cybersecurity features into their products. I (Mike) was previously a product manager at a medical device company and witnessed an increasing concern about the security posture of Internet-enabled medical devices. This culminated in a couple of big device companies needing to issue recalls for their medical devices due to cybersecurity vulnerabilities. It struck me as an interesting transition from cybersecurity being a compliance requirement and instead a concern when managing patient safety. Being concerned about the lack of resources available to implement data security properly, or at all in some cases, we decided to build a platform that helps healthcare software and medical device companies properly integrate data security features into their products, while actively monitoring them for vulnerabilities and suspicious behavior. We address this problem by providing our customers with a configuration driven library that exposes a simple API to access data security operations, crypto library versioning/vulnerability tracking, key management, and device behavior monitoring. The features our solution provides also happen to cover all of the FDA’s new requirements for data security in medical devices ( https://ift.tt/2VQR6Gk... ). These requirements place special emphasis on proper data encryption, signature verification, intrusion detection, and vulnerability monitoring. While medical device vendors could go through the trouble of pulling together open source crypto libraries, certificate authority APIs, and monitoring solutions, or even write some of their own from scratch, we believe MedCrypt's platform offers a better alternative. We handle the complexity of integrating open source crypto libraries with PKI and monitoring infrastructure and provide simple API calls for key provisioning, certificate generation, data security ops, and monitoring. Medical device vendors use their account on the MedCrypt platform to tell us about the individual computing components that make up their device, what types of data are stored or transmitted over the wire, and what kind of security is required. This allows us to point the vendor to the appropriate MedCrypt library (C/C++ libraries or bindings for NodeJS, Java, C# .NET, etc.) to use for each component and creates a generic provisioning configuration that the MedCrypt library uses to generate the appropriate key pairs, communicate with PKI, and register CBOM metadata for vulnerability tracking purposes. Once the device and its keys are approved (via our provisioning API or predefined filters) and the certificates and signed configuration are delivered to the device, MedCrypt's library uses the certificates and the security configuration to enable simple API calls to secure the device's data. For example, after being provisioned, if a glucose monitor is required to sign each set of measurement data sent to a central system called "data-capture", the API call is boiled down to: int returnCode = glucoseMonitor.dataFor(&securedData, "data-capture", rawMeasurementData); Under the hood the MedCrypt library is using the signed data security configuration to select the cryptography resource, sign the data with the appropriate secret key, construct a data payload that encapsulates the original data and signature for delivery to the "data-capture" server, and (if enabled) registers monitoring events with regard to when and with which keys a signing operation occurred. On the other end, the "data-capture" server can verify and get access to the measurement data through an API call: int returnCode = dataCapture.dataFrom(&rawMeasurementData, "glucose-mon", secureData); Again, underneath, the library is using the configuration to establish what type of security is required for this data and whether it can trust the public key referenced by the signature on the measurement data. If the public key is trusted and the signature is verified then the original measurement data is returned to the user. The signature data can also be returned so that the integrity and provenance of the measurement data can be verified in the future. If enabled, an event is recorded indicating the status of the signature verification and from which device/keys it was generated with. The library can also be used to apply security to sockets, encrypt data at the application level, and monitor additional events, all driven by the signed configuration describing the security preferences for this device. When our monitoring service receives metadata about the security events on the device, we can then scan for anomalous behavior. Our behavior-monitoring baselines are developed using the data from multiple classes of medical devices from multiple vendors, giving our customers access to a dataset larger than they’d be able to build on their own. Medical device vendors should be able to focus on building innovative clinical features while using best of breed tools and platforms for things like security. We believe we’re building security tools in a way that optimizes data security without compromising clinical functionality. We’d be excited to hear your feedback, and how you think a healthcare-specific cybersecurity company can help medical device vendors facilitate secure connectivity.
