nice work! I'm liking the naming of the colors :)
I'm slowly building something similar in my spare time. It's a multi-color search engine for street wear (and perhaps other stuff)

If I need to log in sometime in the future, I simply reset the password.
Try and do it cheaply as well. The places you end up staying as a result puts you on an interesting path where you can meet some very interesting folks.
I try and do a 1-3 month long snowboarding trip each year. Buy a season pass, find a room in a hostel and hang out with the other seasonairres. The total cost is only slightly more than a 1-2 week holiday in a hotel. I've meet some awesome, crazy, fun, random and right-down good folks from all around the world.
The imagination gets fired and after some time, I actually really look forward to coming back home and working on something.
On a sort-of related note. You might find this interesting. Record video from drone and overlay it on mapbox maps
Another tricky part of skin detection is false positives. ie, what if the actual product is that color?
Some things I've noticed and will be taking into account are: Skin areas tend to clump around the same locations in photos. The product is usually the focus and skin is near the edges. Product types also tend to share similar photo layouts. So with that, skin color in those zones score higher.
I'm building something similar in my spare time.
It performs multi-color image searching on street wear. You can select a bunch of colors and adjust the ratios.
Here's a very early in-development version. http://www.inthatstyle.com/womens?colors=73a1d3,e84b34&ratio...
(I'm a little worried about posting that on HN since it's unoptimized and will probably crash.)
I'm currently working on skin detection & exclusion during the color detection phase and am looking at using basic machine learning techniques. The key challenge I'm facing is differences in skin tones.
A perceived upshot is that the restaurant must put an emphasis on quality at reasonable prices, otherwise they won't draw those crowds and I'm definitely not going to wait for a crappy meal.
However, the "no reservation" method itself seems to help draw crowds too. Kind of like the lines outside a night club seem to draw people. Throw in a bit of edgy branding with some cool marketing and it pulls well - having an "image" works.
Queuing is a bit of a cultural thing/expectation over here. Having someone cut in line can be a huge no no. If someone bought their way into the queue, I could very well see it causing some highly vocal responses. But I'm sure there are people out there trying it out.
And it seems to work.
Places like Burger & Lobster or Meat Liquor usually have very long queues at prime times.
I've been building something in my spare time and between freelance gigs. It's at a good working prototype stage. I just want to spend a solid month polishing, plugging in minimally required data, release it and see what happens from there.
At the same time, I've just been offered a new contract which will put my project on the slow track for a good half year but it's money coming in.
Being able to focus on something that I'm interested in is amazing. My creativity flows and I see results occur at a pace that keeps motivated even more.
Yet, I don't know what decision to make - Financially sound status quo or happy pipe-dream.
but... I'm reading everyone's comments with great interest.
All the other fonts use the weird typewriter 'a.
I must admit, the pacific was seemed hugely ambitious and I was wondering if something would come in and derail it. I never thought that espionage reasons would be one.
In the 90's, I heard that ihug internet used to get their bandwidth via a satellite to the USA.
Do options like this still exist? Would they even be feasible for todays bandwidth requirements?
It would be interesting to know what kind of options exist that could provide some much needed competition against the Southern Cross cable
in case you are travelling...
Markets aren't rational.
I understand the problems and points you have raised however, this post is probably not a very good idea if you value your reputation.
When people google your name they might interpret this post as coming from someone rather arrogant.
Just sayin' :)
If it has any effect then the side effects would be my first major concern.
This opinion piece feels rather inflammatory
Best of luck for the new role and thanks for your posts. They provided a great insight into a world we techies are so close to but never really see

More screenshots too plz
Are they on the same pay scale or do they pay less since it's a "startup" a money can be tight
It feels like the recruitment industry in general is very cut throat and has high turnover.
And in an industry that has a shortage of skilled people to begin with, that's probably not a good thing.
