Plenty of people on HN have problems to solve.
Plenty of people on HN want to solve problems.
So, an experiment: share a pain point or problem you've had recently (even if it's more like a minor annoyance / not a tech-related problem) and maybe someone will think of a cool way of fixing it for you, prompting a slew of 'Show HN' posts to obliterate your problems.
If your life is completely pain free then more power to you, and soldier on, you lucky saint!
It would also have amazing autocomplete for UnityScript, Actionscript and Python (e.g. for Python the autocomplete could determine return types from documentation and so forth). I've been thinking of trying to put all this together but I just don't have the time.
The show has such a rich data set and their bidding strategies are so simple that I would love to see someone break down the metrics on that show. It's rare that someone has chronologically recorded all bets of all competitors and followed up on the asset value after the purchase.
Strangely, this reality TV show could be sitting on valuable information about how people bid and how to predict a successful auction.
I'm mainly interested in how large the leaps are from competing bid to bid relative to the margin actually realized from liquidating the unit. My intuition says that the jumps will be larger on high margin units and they'll be more fine detailed when lower margin is present. Essentially, you're crowd sourcing the value of the unit.
While that may seem obvious, if this was proven to be true the best bets would be very small incremental jumps above the current high bid to signal low margin. If you did that you could convince the other bidder that you have information he doesn't have and since no one wants to be involved in a low margin liquidation the opposing bidder would have an incentive to bow out.
It's creating the allusion of information asymmetry.
I have not looked into that too much but I guess it is possible to find extension that does exactly what you need. Maybe even this extension could do that with some custom settings.
And Ive also collected 20000 pains before from twitter, or needs actually: http://www.ideaoverload.com/Find-ideas/New-ideas/Methods-gen...
Probably going to find a ml algo to sort them a little bit better
Make your MVP in this. You can work out many of the kinks in the idea from this, and get the idea of the flow down. From there,
and you can start thinking about what your design should really look like. Between the two, you should have a better chance of sharing your vision with someone else.
Furthermore, you are posting on a site full of engineers and developers. If you are really interested in building something, drop me a line. My email is in my profile.
1) Satisfying my physical/emotional intimacy needs (the physical is the bigger pain) 2) Commuting without being surrounded by strangers.
Go build a startup to solve those pains for me :)
- chill the f* out
- act natural
- lower your standards
It's that simple. Alcohol is known to help with the last step, btw.
Ideally a website where domain experts can share their business and industry pain points with a community of developers, entrepreneurs, etc. for us entrepreneurs to explore, give and get feedback.
also there are quite a few pain point threads if you run a quick search
