Came here to say the same thing. The frontend looks super slick. Is it a purchased theme or did you build it yourself?

All my personal projects fall over with my poor design and frontend skills.

This looks really cool. Any plans to push to Android as well?
Don't be too negative of the previous company while interviewing because it comes off bad. But if you can explain things that were good, and things that were bad so it's not all negative the interviewer will understand.

> In the first 24 hours, we removed about 1.5 million videos of the attack globally. More than 1.2 million of those videos were blocked at upload, and were therefore prevented from being seen on our services.

Would this be bots uploading the video or are there 1.5 million individuals trying to re-upload the video to FB? If so are they also having their accounts banned for praising / supporting terror attacks?

Gimlet has only done two rounds of raising haven't they? What kind of valuation do you think they would be chasing?
Re:Google Photos API on Monday September 10, 2018 @08:38PM (#17956290)
Please build this. Google's Sync app is terrible. I don't understand their logic - if you have a high res photo on Google Photos, but the original on your PC (Which will be higher quality) it won't overwrite it. You need to delete the cloud version and upload the original. It's stupid - I had a free Photo account with "high res" photo syncing for free, then I moved to a paid account and I have to delete all my photos and re-sync - which doesn't work on Mac, so now I only have 1/2 my photos backed up... So annoying.
I use this, it's really cool. Thanks!
Re:Ask HN: What tech companies do you invest in? on Sunday June 25, 2017 @09:08PM (#14633232)
Indirectly through my super all the main players like Apple, Google, FB.

Directly, Amazon & Tesla + a bunch of cryptos (Do they count?)

It might not be anyones business, but it also shows the faith or future you see in the company.

Higher the amount of shares then the more you see their upside. The lower the number, the more they have downside.

Not asking to see how many shares OP owns, but can see it's relevance.

I'm thinking the same thing. Would love to see it earlier. At least by the time the right-hand drive market gets it all defects should be out of the car.
If they can hit 500,000 cars by 2018 would you assume they would be able to fulfil all world orders of model 3 by mid-2018?

I'm in Australia and put a deposit on in the morning the day it came out, hoping I'll see the car this year but doubtful.. next year? Maybe.

Re:Ask HN: How do I get freelance developer jobs? on Sunday December 18, 2016 @05:11PM (#13207992)
Meet Ups are a great place to go. There are often people trying to find developers.

Other ways are through LinkedIn groups or small business groups that you can find in your area.

At the end of the day it comes down to networking. Say yes to every meeting and say yes to meeting people. Even if they aren't wanting to hire you, they know your name and will pass it on.

I've freelanced for the last 10 years on and off. I've never needed to advertise, I just make a post on LinkedIn and say I'm freelancing or go to a Meet Up and contracts start coming through.

Looking at some of their clients I would say you're right. Thanks!

Came here to ask the same question. I've seen several sites use the same generator, looks real sharp.
I tend to hear the term "Rust on" (as in metal rusting). So the more rusted on you are the harder it is to get you off. The more integration you have across the board, the more rusted on you are and people can't be bothered trying to clean the rust off.
Re:Was Uber’s Branding Done While Uber High? on Thursday February 04, 2016 @06:44PM (#11038193)
When I watched this video yesterday I thought they are trying too hard to explain what their new logo means because no one will see the connection between the strange new logo and the Uber we already know.

Also - complete marketing wank.

I don't understand what is so good about this, I've been working with this technology in Australia for years. I can get the carrier and details of any number in the world with MNP Lookups.
