Ask HN: Dictation with Automatic Punctuation Software
I recently tried to find a speech to text software, which would allow me to take notes while at a meeting. Very disappointing -- dictation software I tried, that is built into mac, iOS, google docs, which comes for free, requires you to enter punctuation manually, or speak out commands like "new line", or "comma". When you are at a meeting and want to take notes -- this is not how people speak...

I have recently launched a new web app https://www.wisaw.comGoogle search console tells me that at least 88 pages were crawled and indexed.

Ask HN: Who is running full Bitcoin or Ethereum node these days?
Given the current size of the complete blockchain for BitCoin or Ethereum, who would be able to afford to run the full node these days? I know that I can't. It almost feels that one would need to purchase a specialized hardware which would not be chip, just to be able to run the node. Isn't this by itself defeats the purpose of blockchain? And it's not getting any better over time -- it's only...

Ask HN: Finding marketing co-founder
There are different variations of similar questions that people ask about all the time -- how to find tech or business co-founder. I have decent tech skills (I can build software with my own hands). I do have reasonable understanding of product and business principles. What's lacking in my case, a very special skill -- ability to promote the product to masses efficiently. I can do basic web...

When a company makes a decision to hire software engineering team offshore, they usually use the argument "it's not about saving money any more -- it's about tapping into a talent pool, which is scarce in the USA". Well, if this is the case, should the US government consider imposing some sort of a fee to make sure, that the cost of "talent" to the company is the same, regardless of where it...

Ask HN: Should I worry about Android any more?
I'm currently working on a mobile app, and, naturally, I want to reach out to as big crowd as possible. However, this is a one person effort for now, and I do not have capacity (nor much desire) to maintain 2 completely different platforms all by my self (IOS swift, and Android Java), it's simply is not practical (although I have created a prototype for both). I was seriously considering...
Ask HN: How to be found as a technology co-founder?
There are tons of articles on the internet about how to find a technology co-founder. I believe, there is another problem that also exists. If you have strong technology skills, but no business connections or experience, it's virtually impossible to be found as a technology co-founder, even if you've got a desire and ambitions. Can anyone suggest an approach, what should one do in such...
