SEEKING WORK - Auckland, NZ or REMOTE Laravel Expert:
I have 6 years experience as a Laravel developer and 4 more before that as a PHP/Web developer. Previously I was CTO of a startup (Designer Wardrobe) - I took that website from a 5 page MVP to a massive codebase that served around 3 million hits/month. More recently I helped another company speed up an important API they were having trouble with, I took the loading time from > 5 seconds to ~300ms without any breaking changes.
I currently run my own startup and I am seeking part time consulting work to help me bootstrap.

This is really cool but pricing for commercial images seems high. At work we use pixelz.com which is an API for human image processing. They clear cut/resize/rotate and recolor for around $0.60 per image. Results are fantastic, we have around 1 in 1000 images that have to be sent for reprocessing.
The only advantage I could see to using this is the instant turn around.
Edit: I was looking at the one off pricing. It looks like subscriptions are really good value.
Maybe this is real, but it doesn't seem to line up with what I have heard from other Youtubers.
Firstly it is almost certain that a video is initially demonetized by an algorithm. Only during a manual review is it looked at by a human.
The main complaint from Youtubers is that the algorithm is way too strict and inconsistent. But the manual review process is pretty fair and the vast majority of videos get remonetized. The issue here being that by the time a manual review is complete most of the views for a video have already happened.
I could of missed it, but I have seen very few complaints about the manual review process being overly strict or biased.
I have the exact same use case and have not been able to find a service that does it. We have a machine learning service that generates some content for each user but the rest of the email is just a standard newsletter.
In the end we just fire it from our web application like a transaction email, this has a few disadvantages though:
- Sending to our list of 100k users takes a good portion of the day, although this could be fixed if we used the bulk send APIs our transnational email provider has.
- Our marketing team can't easily edit the rest of the content in the newsletter so it generally remains pretty static or needs developer time just to send a newsletter.
I'm not really sure how such a service would work though, would the email provider make a webhook call back to your servers with the user id and you server return the content for that section?
I have been looking for an abstractive summarization API for quite some time, any idea when you will be releasing this. If you are planning any sort of beta I would love to be part of it :)
I really like VueJS and I actually think it is a pretty safe choice. While it has been gaining a lot of momentum recently (especially in the Laravel community were it has become the default frontend framework), it has actually been around for well over 2 years. Evan talks about the stability of the project more here: http://blog.evanyou.me/2015/10/25/vuejs-re-introduction/
Another really important point is that Evan is able to work on this fulltime thanks to a really successful Patreon. This is super rare for a open source project but pretty much guarantees support for the project for the foreseeable future.
First I would say Pokemon Go has done incredibly well to handle such massive growth so quickly, no doubt they were able to leverage a lot from Ingress but I could imagine many other companies having days of downtime while trying to scale up so quickly.
I also tend to disagree a bit with the article. For every situation like this were early scalability is important their are a 1000 MVP apps that are prematurely optimized or over engineered. At the end of the day the chance of anyone building an app that will get over 100,000+ in a week (and keep those users coming back) is very very very slim.
I am not a short sleeper, in some aspects I wish I was. The advantages seem huge as you would be able to be a lot more productive. I wonder though if the personality traits of restlessness and not being able to switch off are common among all short sleepers?
I can't speak for Apple but a number of other large companies in EU have done exactly this, I assume because they have no choice as they can't change the price of a subscription after it is active.
This looks really cool. I love the demo application integrating with Brackets. I could imagine me setting this up and running it on my Chromebook instead of Google Drive.
Yeah in all likely hood any other .com's will be parked but as you mentioned in your post similar domains are selling for $1400 or around the price you are happy to pay. If this one broker is asking way to much move on and find a different .com that you can afford.
