AFAQ RAZA BHATTI: December 2020

For 2021, I was planning to launch my first project to the public. I have gone through a long list of consideration points concerning technical and legal aspects but I still feel that I am missing some points (which I am not aware of because it‘s the first time). So I was curious if there are any people out there who had similar experiences which led to “I wish I knew at that time“ moments. Happy New Year everyone!

For comparison, the blackberry stories about the reaction to the launch of the iPhone were fascinating, though those came out later of course.

Show HN: Simple idea to make Google billions of dollars

Here is a simple idea to use free of charge. I don't care as I would just like something like it for my own use. Some credit would be cool. This took me all of 5 minutes to think about so it isn't like a great effort was liquidated.

Call me a google aficionado. Or google fan (is that even logical?). I would like to see google beat my idea over the head of Amazon. Since I know they have wanted to do something like it for a while now. So here is the plan drawn against the Amazon corporation:

Google Maps Menu

a story

So you search for a business on google maps one day.. and you notice a button beside most businesses in the results list, labeled "menu". Intrigued by this new button, you click on it and it shows a rounded rectangle scrollable box. In the box you see items which you can purchase from this business. Thinking.. hey this is google, this is cool, you select a quantity of your item(s) and checkout with google play. During checkout you agree to flexible delivery costs but you set an upper limit. You are told you have to set an upper limit to delivery. You are told at that point that if you make more purchases the overall delivery fee will be lower. You are like man, I should buy everything this way to get covid free deliveries. You make a bunch of orders, services, products, food. The web page tells you've saved 33% on delivery costs.

In the next scene, where the order is received: the shop keeper gets the order bagged and ready, and sends the ready signal to google. The munchins inside of google's computers dispatch the driver to pickup deliveries in all those make shift drive throughs popping up everywhere.

In a reasonable amount of time later, you get your orders.

The end.

Until tomorrow

Integrating Zoom Using PHP

Hey,

I want to integrate the zoom in a website where online classes would be conducted. There may be at least 8 classes/meetings at a time. It should be on my website interface and shouldn't redirect to the zoom website for meetings. I want these integration done by PHP because whole the website is developed on PHP and there would some data stored in the database regards to meetings/classes. I searched a lot for this on google but couldn't find a way to do it in PHP. I think it may be something easy for JavaScript developers as mostly guidance/tutorials/ways for JavaScript/nodejs. But I'm unable to find a way for that in PHP.

Maybe there would another way rather than using zoom to achieve the goal.

I'm just posting here to get the idea if that is possible in PHP or someone has done it in past and provide me some information/help regards to this project.

Any suggestions and help would be highly appreciatable.

Thanks!!!

The startup is now running itself (>5m profits) without having raising capital. This is the second time this has happened - a previous startup which I was offered a cofounder is now in 9 figure valuation.

How can I overcome regret for these decisions?

1. What are your online accounts security best practices guidelines?

2. How often do you update your password?

3. Are all your accounts have the same password or different or differential?

4. Do you let your browser retain / save your passwords?

5. How long should a password be? Are 8-character passwords still OK?

6. Do you write your passwords on paper? If so, how do you secure that paper?

7. Is 2-factor / multi-factor authentication an absolute must or can I skip that option for accounts that allow me to skip?

Ask HN: What will be the 2021 trends in tech?

What I like about this time of year is that people tend to publish their predictions for the following year. While many of those predictions turn out to be comically wrong, I still find value in identifying some high level patterns in people's thinking.

Can you think of any interesting new trends, or did you come across anyone else's that are worth sharing here? To somewhat narrow the scope, I would suggest that we focus on the tech industry (although that's very very broad these days).

Ask HN: What moment led to you becoming a coder?

Since many of us will be sitting in our old rooms again, coding away on some Christmas project or another (and I hope this remains respectful to those who aren't at home, or can't be at the moment), I wanted to know what led you to become a coder in the first place? For me, it was Winter Challenge (1991), where, as an overly confident 14-year old, I tried to manipulate my high-scores by changing the EXE (or COM?) file. I broke it, of course. And with no backup disk, I set out to just make another Winter Challenge in Q-Basic. Which, obviously, failed even more so. But many PRINTs and GOTOs later, I had found a hobby that has given back so much over the years. I was curious to hear your stories.
