Engagement with employees in small startups #team #engagement

Thu, 10 Jun 2021 15:32:00 +0000

I spend 50% of time in recruiting, and the other in helping my current team perform better....

Which is majorly aligning them on goals and checking on how they are doing avoiding burn out etc.

What are the best ways to do this??? ha ha we don't have an HR team yet so maybe that's the answer?

Taking notes from Hacker News comments #hackernews #notes

Thu, 10 Jun 2021 13:29:00 +0000

Hacker News from YCombinator is a news submission website optimized for gratifying one's intellectual curiosity. Regular readers know that the real gold is in the comments of Hacker News.

But in the urge to submit/respond to the comments, FOMO other HN stories the knowledge in the comments are often lost if not saved(favorites). Even if saved, Memory ( /problems/41 ) should serve right to get what we need and when we need it.

I feel there's a need gap for a better note taking solution for assimilating knowledge from Hacker News discussions.

Deciding between job offers #employment #career

Tue, 08 Jun 2021 12:22:00 +0000

When there are several competing offers, it's hard to take a decision about which one to go with as just going along with the best monetary compensation is not always the ideal choice.

I feel there's a need gap for a service which helps one determine the best job offer based upon their career goals, lifestyle, location etc.

Remote work is making me lonely and depressed #remote #mentalhealth

Sun, 06 Jun 2021 02:08:00 +0000

I am a jolly type person who enjoys the relationships we make at office. For the past 1.5 years I have been working remotely due to the pandemic and I feel very lonely, depressed due to that.

Worst of all it looks like the remote work is going to be permanent and switching jobs is not an option as all other firms are offering remote work only.

Are you in the same position as me? What have you done to cope with this situation?

Identity Theft #cybersecurity #cryptography

Fri, 04 Jun 2021 13:42:00 +0000

Getting our identity stolen online can have debilitating consequences, With many adopting to the online lifestyle of sharing unfettered access to their personal data it has become very easy for a cyber criminal to steal someone's identity.

Solutions to safe guard online identity hasn't caught up with the rate of identity theft. Scammers are even using stolen identity to run successful fraudulent indiegogo campaigns and the one who got their identity stolen have to face the brunt of it (Read pinned comment of that YT video).

Technically inclined have had cryptographic measures like PGP key to verify their identity. But a solution to verify identity should as easy as sharing personal data online, for it to see mass adoption.

Royalty free music which is not overused #music #copyright

Mon, 31 May 2021 17:37:00 +0000

Royalty free music is often either over-used, or needs complex licensing to use it without copyright strikes. I propose building a SaaS service where you can access music and download and use as much as you need, based on monthly billing. The genres would be varied and you could use the music anywhere - on marketing videos, explainer videos, podcasts, video games, etc

I am a composer and would build it in nocode using Airtable as my framework. There, you could access all files, preview them easily, filter by genre and mood and download and use what you need.

I've noticed that folks with many Twitter followers experience a lot of spam, troll or toxic replies. Recently Pieter Levels shared his script to mute and make unfollow some of his followers by keywords in their bio and other criteria. This is his way to mitigate this issue.

Car manufacturers are silently cutting down on features due to the chip shortage and it's logical to assume it's not just limited to car manufacturers.

Nonobservant buyers could be at loss due to this.

A comparison website which lists such manufacturers with clear details about what has been cut down in a product due to the chip shortage when compared to the previous model year could empower the consumers.

A GitHub awesome list is collection of related GitHub repositories on a topic. E.g. Here is an awesome list on Free programming e-books - https://github.com/EbookFoundation/free-programming-books/blob/master/books/free-programming-books.md .

When I encounter such lists, I have to check each project for their GitHub stars (rating by users) for their popularity. If the stars are displayed besides the repositories, It can help me save time.

Wireless headphones glitch when out of range #audio #connectivity

Fri, 28 May 2021 08:21:00 +0000

It is really annoying when the music on my headphones starts to glitch the moment I move away from my mobile/ipad, I mean what's the point of it being wireless for a very limited range, obviously bluetooth is a low power tech and won't give you the ranges that technologies like wifi promise but for a start it would be great if headphones had the capability to store the next 10-15 songs so that I don't have to worry about keeping my phone with me all the time.

There can be other applications of the tech like an inbuilt walkman/ipod inside the headphones but my concern for now is to nothing but to improve the music listening experience.

Paywall avoidance for submission sites #monetization #news

Thu, 20 May 2021 05:35:00 +0000

Major online news websites rely upon paywalls for subscription to fund their journalism. But this becomes a hindrance for submission forums like HackerNews, Reddit etc. When the sites with paywall are avoided, the websites looses potentially large number of visitors from these submission forums and thereby potential subscribers.

One trick which is commonly used in these submission sites is to include the archive.org URL of the news article which bypasses the paywall in several news websites but not all e.g. Financial Times, But this results in the news website loosing all traffic from the submission forums.

News websites can disable the paywall based on the source like they do for social media, But perhaps a paywall service which can detect high traffic sources and disable paywall automatically could be useful for these news sites.

Accurate pulse oximeter for dark skin color #health #medicalquipment

Sat, 24 Apr 2021 05:47:00 +0000

Recent study shows consumer pulse oximeters are inaccurate for individuals with darkly pigmented skin. Researchers say that the pulse oximeters tend to overestimate the oxyhemoglobin saturation (Sao2) at low Sao2 levels.

Patients relying on just the Sao2 readings from the pulse oximeter alone i.e. SpO2 can risk missing out treatment at crucial time due to this inaccuracy and so doctors advice giving importance to the shortness of breath and trends of pulse oximeter readings over absolute readings.

There is a need gap for pulse oximeters which can offset the bias due to skin color after further research on this subject.

In today's world we organize by different apps. For example - email has its own folder structure, slack has its own channels, confluence has its own pages and g-drive dances to a different tune. This is a very reactive approach.

As a thinkers and doers, on the other hand we want to be proactive. And a better way to organize work would be around topics important to us, while apps are relegated to the background.

One of the biggest pain point for someone in the gig economy, is to know the value of our time; How much should I charge my clients for the work?

For someone making an entry into the freelance work, there might not be much options than to undercut the competition in pricing. But once we have gained some reputation for our work, Calculating fair market price for our effort is hard.

I feel there is a need gap for tools which help freelancers calculate the fair price for their time.

Consumer level local distributed computing #computation #productivity

Wed, 14 Apr 2021 05:15:00 +0000

Current Smartphones, Tablets for most is more powerful(compute) than their old computers. At this point we should be able to distribute the computing load across all our capable devices. Distributed Computing is now limited to scientific research, data science, machine learning and I feel it's high time we use it for solving some consumer problems.

I use low power computers by choice for my climate goals, So I have several low power task specific computing devices. Consider able to compress 2TB folder consisting of disjoint files using the CPU of computer, smartphone, tablet etc. If Handbrake could use distributed computing then the encoding could be much faster. Network is an Achilles heel for distributed computing, but average network bandwidth in home networks have been growing steadily.

The manufacturers themselves are unlikely to create an interoperable environment, but perhaps applications which function in the user space could fulfill this need gap.

Online investment communities (e.g. Wall Street Bets) are too big, they often lead to noisy, low quality discussions. It’s extremely hard to find people we can trust and have thoughtful conversations around investments with.

If there's a platform which can match me with like-minded individuals into small, tight-knit investment clubs it can help address this problem. Matching criteria could be based on our risk appetite, investment theses, time commitment, etc. Potentially each community can vote on its own portfolio, trade alongside each other and compete with other investment clubs.

No brand products #marketing #ecommerce

Fri, 02 Apr 2021 05:13:00 +0000

Brands have made developing cult following as the way to do business. This creates lot of negativity as I constantly see consumers fighting each other for their favorite brand over Internet forums, Private businesses shouldn't be able to command this much hold on their customers.

I think one way to address this would be the consumer choice to let go of the brands completely and buy high quality nondescript items without any brands. When I search for such no-brand products I see couple of websites pop up, many of them for just T-shirts with one difference being https://brandless.com/ which seems to be offering products from different categories.

I feel there's a need for more brandless type eCommerce websites, especially since the manufacturer can pass on the savings from brand development, marketing to the end consumers. Would you assert your consumer choice to buy products without any branding to reduce the hold private business have over you? If you are a manufacturer would you sell your product without branding through such eCommerce website?

When I want to find out more about something - could be an illness, a new topic I found interesting (AI/ML), or just new travel ideas, I spend hours searching online, reading reviews, blogs, forums, etc. and then creating a mental conclusion about what I found. In the process, I bookmark pages for later review and make notes if necessary.

Can I out-source this work to someone to kind-of, summarise the findings and give me a balanced view, highlight the most relevant links for me to look at and basically cut-down a lot of the initial time I spend on searching things?

Business scale based alerts #infrastructure #costsaving

Mon, 22 Mar 2021 07:09:00 +0000

When we run a small business, we use different services based on our scale(number of users) e.g. Cloud infrastructure services but the service provider itself has no information about our scale or goals and so the onus is upon us to properly scale the required infrastructure services depending upon the number of users.

Currently we can get alerts indirectly based upon our business scale e.g. When the API query limits hits a threshold or other monitoring rules(Network, Storage, CPU etc.). But we have to set each of those rules independently and there is no central product scale based monitoring service.

I feel there is a need gap for a centralized business scale based monitoring service which can send us alerts regarding our infrastructure services when our users grow or drop and not just based on the infrastructure resources. This can help us save money on our infrastructure services and also serve our customers without any interruption by not over-commissioning or under-commissioning.

Notice and fix common, small problems #lifestyle #advice

Fri, 19 Mar 2021 00:02:00 +0000

I would like help noticing problems that seem too small to worry about myself, but have already been solved by other people, so I can take advantage of these known solutions.

For example, if I'm washing dishes by hand, and I don't really mind any individual instance of washing that much, it could still be nicer to buy a dishwasher anyway. Perhaps I don't know that there exists a non-leaky portable dishwasher; it could be nice to be given that idea as a suggestion.

Currently my best idea is just to focus on whatever is the single biggest problem and investigate how to solve that, but that doesn't address problems that are common to many people and that have easier solutions.

Unfortunately this seems to be complicated by a few factors, including the fact that various people can disagree about ways to fix things, and also that others people can feel more strongly about an issue than I do.

History based education for everything #education #history

When I learn new concepts, focusing on the history behind the concept i.e. why there was a need for it, what problem it solved, what was the earlier iterations of it helps me to understand that concept in a much more intuitive way.

e.g.

Exploring how Pi was calculated 2000 years ago by Archimedes using n-gon and How the method was continued until Newton changed the landscape in 17th century by introducing his formula derived from geometric construction gives us greater understanding of geometry, arithmetic progression, calculus etc.[1]
How the usage of binary in the form of punch cards in Jacquard loom for repeating patterns in textiles; gives us the foundation of modern computing[2].

Wikipedia's history section does a decent job, but how about an in-depth, intuitive mechanism to learn concepts using its history?

When I'm watching a movie and If I don't understand a word I pause the movie and look up the word in the dictionary to understand that word. Streaming services like Amazon Prime show details about that particular scene when paused like Cast, Trivia etc. in their X-Ray feature but not synonyms or thesaurus for the dialogue.

Say I'm watching a video and press a special key e.g. 'S' and Synonyms pop up for the words in the dialogue sentence except basic grammar. It's not like every word in the sentence requires synonyms, there will be usually couple of hard words in a dialogue depending upon the movie.

I feel this is a great way to learn language, Me and my friends improved our English language skills by watching Hollywood movies and I'm sure there are many like us around the world.

New skills from short projects for organizations #skills #education

Fri, 19 Feb 2021 09:01:00 +0000

Hi all, since some weeks ago I have been diving in a new industry and learning new skills/knowledge. I have been creating small projects to showcase these skills. In the near future I would like to create a startup in the industry I am diving into. Before doing that, it would be great to have experience with organizations where I could help with my new skills/knowledge. In my view this would be a win-win. I would get to gain experience and use my new skills (before getting paid gigs and to build a portfolio), while organizations can benefit from the help in an area where they lack experience or time for.

Think about it as a very short project based internship. For a day-week max. For example, a small organization who wants help with their website and could use even basic knowledge of web development. You as a starting web developer or student, could help for two days In which organizations can benefit from someone helping them with their social media usage or web development.

Do you know of such platform? I would definitely be interested in trying it.

Reduce document file size to specific size #document #compression

Sat, 13 Feb 2021 07:35:00 +0000

Each website have their own maximum size limit for uploading .pdf, .jpg documents e.g. 100KB, 2MB etc. It takes a long time to reduce the size of the document to their size limit because the available tools compress the file size to an arbitrary size.

If the file is compressed to a size over that limit, the file cannot be uploaded and if the file is compressed to a size lesser than the limit it looses quality unnecessarily.

If the compression tool can take the size limit as input from the user and compress the file to that limit then this problem can be addressed.

Okay, it's not a real big problem but sometimes I want to be able to chat with several people at the same time without creating a Discord or Slack group. I'd like to have something temporary, with a simple link. You can answer me Google meet, but I'm looking for something focused on chatting asynchronously. 1 points posted by Petillant
