What can you offer? We probably don't want to do for money. What skills can you share so that the person can share his python expertise

Thanks. Your amazon fire idea seems like a good starting point. Like you I also only received searched from 5-6 yrs old. Hoping for something newer.
Hey, I am in exactly same shoes. I am also in early phase of development of a search engine with only free, non-auth walled content, apart from blocking ad serving platforms. I would like to discuss and see if we can work together. Care to talk? Email in profile.

Slightly related, Does anyone have a virtual machine image of Ghome-Development environment that I can use straight away. I am on a corporate RHEL 6 machine, so it has been very tough to be able to get the development environment up and running there.

I am not even able to mame changes to gnome-terminator 1XX version because of this.

How is this done? Where do you get the books and their first pages? I am wondering if Amazon API gives book preview also.
No. Its paywalled. But I work on making Emulation systems for a living. So, I know this for a fact.
Its always the same set of problems. FPGAs take too long to synthesize, place and route. Not much internal visibility or its not trivial to dbeug. not enough capacity as chips are becoming bigger and bigger.
Comman crawl may be good place to start

Ask HN: What is a good phone for to write code on?

I find myself away from desktop/table for fairly long hours (Example, at the playgorund with kids, standing on subway etc). I have to write (office) code while at such places.Is there a good phone you would recommend which makes it easy to write and compile code? (Java + Front end stuff)

Re:Stack Overflow for Teams on Thursday May 03, 2018 @01:46PM (#16988079)
Slightly offtopic, I recently looked at all top free internet websites/services that I use and wondered which of them I would miss if advertising dollars dry up. For me, it turned out to be stackoverflow and Google. I truly hope stackoverflow is a profitable venture at this point. I hope they have been trying various avenues to make money but no o no one has any info on profitability. Job ads pay well, but there is fierce competition there.
I am starting market research on Zillow/Redfin Estimate Accuracy tracker. It is an interesting topic to help people understand how their zillow estimate varies over time and with similar sales nearby. I assume the product would be useful to agents and home owners. Since, zillow is getting into flipping houses, this number will be even more interesting. If you are interested, we can team up. Email in profile.
Thanks. Will check it out

Ask HN: Software Recommendation for public facing wiki site

I would like to make a crowd sourced website where people can edit MVP, Tools, Organization structure, commentary on marketing of new startups. For this, I need a good hackable wiki site that is easily extendable (so I can potentially put ads on). Any recommendations will be appreciated. Mediawiki is good but not beautiful for my taste. Opensource would be great.

Re:Ask HN: Zillow and redfin estimates overtime, comparison? on Wednesday April 18, 2018 @01:57PM (#16869437)
I agree with the incentives part. But, apparently, some AVMs(not necessarily Zillow) are used by mortgage lenders to adjust their risk models. In such cases, I would assume lenders will first want to find out information about accuracy(through third parties).

You are right that zillow used to show accuracy by zip code. But I am looking for more granular info.

Ask HN: Zillow and redfin estimates overtime, comparison?

Hi, Is anyone aware of a service/website which shows how zillow and redfin estimates vary overtime(for a given address or region). Ideally, I want a report which alerts me when zillow modifies my home estimates. More generally, what are some services for tracking accuracy of automated valuation models?

Followup question. What are some good apps or toys for 3-4 yr old kids? Anything that can be used to teach about emotions?
I am looking tutorial type stuff than on being informed about releases etc. So, following contributors is not much use to me, personally
Thanks. This is exactly what I am looking for.
This is close to what I am looking for but for server side issues. 400k subscribers is impressive. Mind telling how find these articles? Do you use a crawler of some sort? How well is the business doing? (if I may ask)
Re:Ask HN: Anyone sells YouTube video lists? on Friday March 23, 2018 @05:20PM (#16662728)
I agree with the keeping updated part. I am just looking for a starter list of sorts. Thanks for idea regarding calling youtube in the backend, atleast until I have enough data. I will do with it.

Ask HN: Anyone sells YouTube video lists?

I am planning to make a youtube video search engine(hopefully better than what youtube offers currently). What is a good way to collect a million video URLs other than scraping or using youtube APIs? Does anyone sell a premade list?Followup question. How do podcast search engines get the data? Do they scrape from podcast websites?
