Show HN: Krucible – temporary Kubernetes clusters for testing and development - <AUTHOR> https://usekrucible.com/ <comment><AUTHOR> Author here. At the last two companies I've worked at we really needed—and didn't have—a solution for spinning up throwaway Kubernetes clusters that we could, for example, easily and reliably test our deployment process in. Kind ([https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kind](https://github.com/kubernetes- sigs/kind)) does a pretty good job of addressing that but requires setting up a bunch of infrastructure that needs to be maintained and doesn't easily work in a containerised CI environment. Krucible is an attempt at solving those problems by allowing you to spin up Kubernetes clusters via an API quickly and affordably.

Krucible is still in its early stages but I wanted to show it to the community and get feedback. Happy to answer any questions.

<comment><USER2> What about kind doesn't work in CI? The Kubernetes project uses it in that fashion?

<comment><AUTHOR> kind can definitely be made to work in CI but it's often difficult. For instance it's not necessarily easy to spin up new containers from within the container that your CI job is executing in. That's not an unsolvable problem but Krucible eliminates the problem entirely.</comment></comment></comment>


The 10X Product Launch - <AUTHOR> http://www.ashmaurya.com/2011/10/the-10x-product-launch/

<comment><USER2> Pretty much no one needs to worry about scalability in the beginning. A properly constructed system will typically be more than enough.

And most should defer the pricing question by going free or freemium at the outset. If you end having built something that people like, it's easy to make money.

</comment><comment><USER3> One of the more useful things I've seen on HN. However it seems to only really apply to B2B. There is a bit of a hand wave about B2C at the end. Would love to see more thoughts about its applicability there.</comment>

Empty trucks, falsified records: How changes at the Postal Service brought chaos - <AUTHOR> https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2020-09-17/louis-dejoy-usps-changes-delays <comment><USER2> I was joking around with my freight broker that I should start a hot shot operation up.

He responded that in all seriousness, that demand in my state had outstripped capacity by 2 to 3 times because of increased delivery demands, largely due to COVID.

I have no idea if DeJoy is making mistakes, but capacity shortages in delivery are not as simple as "DeJoy is a jerk trying to kill the USPS". A lot of it has to do with a sharp increase in shipping over the last few months.

<comment><USER3> Yes, which makes political appointee DeJoy's moves to reduce capacity during: 1) an election cycle, that is dependent on vote-by-mail, whose 2) suppression just so happens to favor the politician who appointed him, whose 3) job security hinges upon his reelection, and 4) his non-zero chance of facing criminal charges for his role in this.

Is there an interpretation of this situation that they were acting in good faith? Sure, but given the brazen, unchecked corruption of the last 3.5 years, such an interpretation, to put it mildly, is undeserved.

</comment></comment><comment><USER4> >Loading dock managers have falsified records so it appears that trucks are departing earlier, some mail has been sorted twice, and in at least one case, a large shipment from Amazon was turned away because facilities had no space to process it.

I think the problem is bigger than just DeJoy

Ask HN: How to consistently get higher paying clients? - <AUTHOR> First a little background; I've been freelancing as a React dev for the last two years. My clients love working with me, but I'm having some trouble getting them to pay higher rates - I've set a goal of charging 2000/week but I've often had to settle for less.
I don't have much of an online presence and got most of my current clientele through word of mouth (ironic since I work exclusively remote).
What do you suggest I focus on to get the best ROI? Should I start a blog? Do some open source projects? Just visit meetups and network? <comment><USER2> Blogs can take a loooong time to pay off (and some never do, no matter how well they're written).

I'd suggest that you start by finding some slack groups. Many of them have people looking to hire JS developers.

<comment><AUTHOR> Do you have any you'd personally recommend? How do I even go about finding them?

</comment></comment><comment><USER3> Base rate and location? I sometimes had trouble charging over $125/hr from the Caribbean, but from Atlanta its way easier.

<comment><AUTHOR> Southern Europe. I work exclusively remote though. 2000/week is my base rate - I also have a discounted rate (1000/week) for slow periods. I have more than enough demand at that rate though.

<comment><USER3> So, your location and constraints pretty much put you in a disadvatange when its time to negotiate. Development work is viewed as less expensive in the EU, unless you are in certain key parts. Remote also means you are perceived as an off shore option.

If your goal is to get more deals in the US, then you should look into establishing a presence in whatever market you aim for. That means incorporating and visiting the place for a short while to network.

<comment><AUTHOR> What kind of networking are you suggesting? [INSERT TECHNOLOGY] meetups?

Also, what hubs do you think are a good choice for networking in Europe? I was thinking London and maaaybe Switzerland.

<comment><USER3> I suggest you leverage meetup.com to het an idea of what kind of nerworking opportunities are there. Do keep in mind tgatz networking in another country is not cheap. Id start at the closest tech hub. Maybe London or Berlin. Then try and get a sense of things there.

Ultimately, you might want to hire a sales person here in the US. This brings a whole different challenge but might be worth it.

Google Fi replacing phones under warranty with refurbished phones - <AUTHOR> I bought a Pixel 3a XL about three months ago. About 2 months ago speaker and ringer stopped working. I have had numerous calls with Google Fi support. The best they can do for me is send me a refurbished replacement probably of lesser value. This is for a phone under warranty. This is quite unfair. <comment><USER2> Consider yourself to be very lucky, I dropped Fi when the protection plan for my Nexus 5X which had a swelling battery after less than two years only offered a cheap "Motorola" phone that among other thing was reported to have bad WiFi performance, negating one of the big advantages of Fi.

Here, as long as this refurbished replacement is the same device, and the warranty either continues, or if needed gets extended by at least a couple of months, you should be OK. Many returns have absolutely nothing wrong with them, or something really minor.

If Apple's iOS software quality wasn't awful and getting worse, I'd recommend checking out iPhones, I just had a very good experience getting a problem fixed at my local Best Buy. But having to be concerned that software updates will take out your phone, or WiFi, or other basic functionality means this will be my last as well as first iPhone.

</comment><comment><USER3> They've always done this. Worse is the phones in my experience have had the same issues over and over again.

</comment><comment><USER4> "Refurbished" simply means not from new stock. It could still be an unused phone.

What about the retailer?

</comment><comment><USER5> It does seem unfair, and it's also a common practice. Apple does it too.

</comment><comment><USER6> Would it be fair if they paid the difference in cost?</comment>


Have startups run out of ideas? - <AUTHOR> http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/digitalcontent/2008/07/have_startups_run_out_of_ideas.html <comment><USER2> I read the post and was left waiting for the punchline... Where is the argument for startups having run out of ideas? I mean there is not connection between the PG paper (a list of submission topics he would like to see) and the title of startups having run out of ideas.

Anyway, it's just a very shortened talk about PGs paper. Does anyone find anything in the post actually interesting?

<comment><USER3> Well, this might be a good example for PG's request #3: "New News".

My initial inclination is to deride the Guardian's obvious lack of ideas -- it's easy for me to laugh at this me-too article, because I'm a news.yc reader already. But from the point of view of a Guardian reader who has barely heard of PG, this might be a very good article. It certainly reflects my opinion that journalism would be better if it spent more time linking people to good content written by credible experts and less time misquoting them, jeering at them for being mere "bloggers", or trying to pretend that ignoring them will make them all go away.

But, yes, the title makes no sense and is obvious linkbait. _Amateurish_ linkbait. The Guardian's editors need to hire some linkbaiting consultants with Digg experience.

</comment></comment><comment><USER4> PG's way of email is precisely mine. In fact my inbox is actually renamed to ACTION and I've written before about how I manage email: [http://www.jgc.org/blog/2007/06/measuring-my-inbox- depth.htm...](http://www.jgc.org/blog/2007/06/measuring-my-inbox-depth.html) and <http://www.jgc.org/blog/2006/01/how-i-manage-email.html>

I use a combination of automatic filtering (i.e. POPFile), fast keyboard shortcuts, and public shame (I publish the number of items in my inbox on my web site) to keep it under control.

</comment><comment><USER5> Startups didn't run out of ideas, its just that the simple stuff that you can do on your own, has been done to death, and the VCs are too enamored with the "easy" stuff, trying to get a piece of the pie, that they don't want to take the risk on something complicated which involves a much higher investment. I mean look at all the web companies getting funded in the startup phase, most of them are pretty small investments.

One one hand, I like the idea of a free, good resource and a gentle introduction for those who need it, and on the other hand, I fear that some people really shouldn't be exposed to programming in the first place, and too gentle an introduction leaves them with an unwarranted feeling that they actually know what they're doing. On the gripping hand, I've been known to have my moments of being an elitist bastard, so bear with me here.</comment>

An emerging black market offers Amazon sellers ways to cheat the marketplace - <AUTHOR> https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/leticiamiranda/amazon-marketplace-sellers-black-hat-scams-search-rankings <comment><USER2> Just today I was browsing for new wine glasses. I finally found the product that I wanted and checked out a couple of options on Amazon. The first two reviews for the pair[1] I liked were complaining that they received counterfeit items.

The reviews are verified reviews, but there's no way for me to know which third party they bought it from so I could avoid them.

I ended up buying them on the manufacturers website. The shipping might not be as fast, but I got a great discount by signing up on their newsletter and it ended being significantly cheaper than Amazon.

This isn't my first experience like this. The biggest pain point of shopping outside of Amazon is the checkout experience of a lot of smaller sites and slower shipping, but I would much rather get my items a couple of days later than have to deal with returning counterfeit items.

I'm surprised about how Amazon is dealing with this issue. It's the growth at all costs approach, taking care of this would hurt their sales numbers -- but that's a pretty myopic view of things. It's the kind of attitude that flooded Twitter with bots, since taking care of that issue would hurt their growth numbers that investors love.

I really hope Amazon fixes this since I like the idea of a one stop shopping experience, but maybe people buying from the manufacturers directly might be better for everyone involved. A universal checkout experience (one login, saves CCs and contact information) would make Amazon obsolete in my opinion.

<comment><USER3> Amazon commingles inventory, so it doesn't matter which 3rd party you select from the product page. Any one of them can inject the counterfeit into the supply and affect sales from the others.

<comment><USER4> just a note: this commingling only happens if it is "fulfilled by Amazon" vs buying directly from the 3rd party through Amazon.

<comment><USER3> A bit more clarification, the page right now says:

"Sold by Spark Maestro and Fulfilled by Amazon."

While this is a 3rd party sale, it will be fulfilled from the inventory Amazon has from any other seller. It has to ship from the 3rd party to be safe from counterfeiting.

<comment><USER5> Not exactly correct; the seller has to allow comingling as well.

<comment><USER3> Does the buyer have any way to tell if an item is commingled, and if the seller they selected does not commingle? The pressure to get the buy box on competitive items means missing out on sales if you don't commingle.

</comment></comment></comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER6> >For just $5, Seller Mafia will "brush" an account, which is when a product page is stripped of all information except its reviews and listed with a new product, which is against Amazon's marketplace rules. This allows a seller to inherit a positive star rating and high ranking for a product without ever selling anything. So a shopper may see a four-star product like a jade roller, but the listing has had previous lives as a garage opener and a step stool to earn that average four-star rating.

Ah, that explains several incidents where I rebought a previously purchased item by searching through the listings in my order history, only to receive a completely different product (I once received lace underwear when rebuying a specific shampoo for example).

<comment><USER7> Wow this is really sleazy.

This seems like something that Amazon could solve by having humans in the loop, but they probably have too much inventory.

<comment><USER8> This seems like something Amazon could trivially solve with software. Product name, description, and listing categories all provide obvious context about what is being sold, they could easily analyze these changes and detect abuses such as this.

I'm surprised they don't automatically scrub the rating and reviews (why not just automatically generate a new listing and list the old one as unavailable?) for such consequential changes to a product listing.

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER9> "Amazon declined to comment on the specific black hat consulting firms named in this story, but it told BuzzFeed News that these 'bad actors make up a fraction of activity' on the site."

So some number below 100% apparently.

<comment><USER10> This is one of my hobby horses. 1/1 is a fraction. Don't say something is a fraction, say it's a small fraction, or express it in ppm or something

<comment><USER11> Languages work this way when the meaning is unambiguous. No one is going to say "I used to live in London in the United Kingdom. The big one". No one's going to always say "So desu ne". No one's going to say "a small fraction" when "fraction" will suffice.

It's natural language. Conciseness is high value.

<comment><USER12> Not to correct you as such, more to share a nice word: "concision" is a bit more pleasing than "conciseness" in my opinion.

<comment><USER11> Funny story but I actually used that all the time till someone told me it wasn't a word and I believed them. Truth set adjusted. Thank you.

It sounds so much more natural.

<comment><USER12> It does. People have a weird tendency (it's not that weird I guess, it's the same "force" that means less frequently used verbs are more likely to have regular conjugations) to just use <adjective>ness when there are so many beautiful words out there...

Don't get me started on "comfortableness".

</comment></comment></comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER13> This all seems completely intentional on Amazon's part. Why? Because it sends people to the amazon branded version of the item, one they sell directly, or a substitute. This is clearly an action they are taking to under cut their 3rd party sellers. Amazon can and is doing this. And it is working. Why would amazon want 3rd parties to sell something that sells well, when they can take the sale directly away from competitors? Co-mingling is just their excuse that covers up what they themselves are doing. A very convenient straw man for a problem that they don't want to solve in any other way that doesn't benefit only them in the end. This is a long play to have their cake and eat yours too.

</comment><comment><USER14> Something that I don't see alot of people mention that is another huge problem on Amazon is that many products are exactly the same white label products with different logos and slight variations. Lots of the same alibab products slightly customized. Some consumers are paying way more than others for the same product.

</comment><comment><USER15> Coincidently this week the podcast "Decrypted" featured an episode that details how difficult it is to compete on the Amazon platform, especially against Amazon itself. [0]

[0] [https://www.bloomberg.com/news/audio/2019-04-22/as-amazon- ge...](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/audio/2019-04-22/as-amazon-gets-bigger- sellers-feel-the-squeeze-podcast)

<comment><USER16> Yeah, it turns out that, for tons of product categories, the value is in controlling the customer relationship, not in merely offering goods for sale. Who woulda thought?

The way you get around this, by the way, is by doing the hard work of establishing a brand that customers are willing to pay for. Even then, a certain segment of the market is going to go for low-price. Nothing you can do about that.

</comment></comment><comment><USER17> I've stopped buying from third party sellers on amazon. And I've bought a lot less from amazon proper too. Probably started about 4 years back.

<comment><USER18> I did the exact same thing as you around the same time-frame and with the amount of comments I see on here extolling Amazon I assumed I was an outlier. What made you tail off? I was in the UK and I started noticing that while they had originally been cheaper for most things, they were not and the convenience (or inconvenience if I was out when a package was delivered) didn't really offset that particular delta. I made the exception for about a year after I caught on to that in order to buy second hand books because typically they would retail for 1p with a ~£2.50 postage fee but I stopped that after a while for various reasons (travel, ebooks, relocation).

<comment><USER17> Books are about the only thing I still buy at amazon. It probably started with a purchase I made that kept delaying shipping, but the price was like 20% better than anywhere else and I didn't need it anytime soon. After a couple months and like 6delays I canceled the order and decided to start buying from bestbuy and Walmart. (Also Barnes&noble locally but their website is bad and their app is even worse.)

Oh the other thing that definitely turned me off is searching for something like a hoodie and getting a page full of results that each give ranges of prices from $10-$50 and the only one for $10 is an xxs in dingy white and everything else is $50. (Just made that example up)

<comment><USER19> That's the same on AliExpress, if you search for SD cards you get offers for $0.01 cards and when you look at the offer you chose capacities and the 0.01 offer is for a 1 megabyte SD card that is sold out.

</comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER20> I saw an interesting example of cheating during one of Amazon's sales. Someone had posted an "updated" version of a board game that wasn't updated, it was just a different language version. It was hard to tell if the release date was updated but everything on the page pointed it to being the same product. However it was prices higher of course.

</comment><comment><USER21> What I find really interesting is that Alibaba inside China has already solved this problem in Tmall and Taobao (it doesn't really work for international sellers).

Once you've built up a buying history and reach the level of VIP you get a guaranteed refund policy while claims are being investigated. If you request a refund you get the refund while they investigate.

Also refunds for counterfeit are triple on Tmall (optional on Taobao) which makes it fairly easy to figure out if something will be real or not. The seller also has to have a bond of different amounts which is public so you know how much they trust their own products.

I thought that this would be interesting since Amazon just pulled out of China. This is probably one of the main reasons they struggled here. (I live in Shanghai as an expat)

</comment><comment><USER22> Any single thing there is not-insignificant demand for will have a market. Think of any possible thing and google "buy [that thing]" and you will find a seller or a story about sellers.

The question is what Amazon will do about it.

</comment><comment><USER23> Say sellers banded together to form a communal market site. The market would be jointly owned and controlled. What are the barriers to that? Is it just a mass coordination problem?

<comment><USER24> Amazon's strength is their logistics network. Any co-op you've just described will have an incredibly difficult time competing on shipping prices and speed of delivery.

<comment><USER8> Yeah Amazon clearly dwarfs the logistics capability of nearly anyone, but as far as the 2-day delivery advantage Amazon has, there are some companies making competition in the space: ShopRunner is one I'm aware of and I'm sure there's others.

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER25> Amazon should just sent employees to those black hat seminars, learn how they work, and block them. As long as there's a market for black hat services, Amazon can find it as well as anyone, sign up, and block it.

<comment><USER26> I'm an Amazon consultant and I wasn't aware that super urls were black hat until recently. Even today, "gurus" or big Amazon software companies promote urls and launch services.

I think Amazon usually catches on and starts suspending sellers after 6 months to a year after an exploit is discovered but that is a really long time. Even then a lot of these issues are probably small beans compared to the major abuse I see on their platform from Chinese sellers. I can't imagine what kind of counterfeit problems they might have but they have been making changes so I'm sure they'll figure it out within the next year or two. Changes like more seller suspensions for manipulating sales rank, TOS updates, requiring photo ID for new sellers, vendor central updates, and more.

In the long run, it won't matter what third party sellers do because Amz will probably sell directly themselves the 20% of the catalog that makes 80% of their sales whether through their own secret private label brands or their vendor program.</comment></comment>

Hey, I'm Gosha.

I see how programming is just connecting business objectives with reality, not a craft unto itself.

Languages are all the same to me. I also wrote toy languages and primitive type systems. I've been doing a lot of mobile and front-end work past couple of years, but I know my way around back-ends, architecture, deployment.

Most of my experience comes from consulting. You can see my some of past works & references here: [http://goshakkk.name/works/](http://goshakkk.name/works/)

I also keep a blog about React Native & React ([http://goshakkk.name](http://goshakkk.name)) and have self-published a book about forms in React ([http://goshakkk.name/the-missing-forms-handbook-of- react/](http://goshakkk.name/the-missing-forms-handbook-of-react/)).

I'm only looking for jobs in product companies. No agencies.

I'm a practical developer who's happy to work at any level of the stack using a variety of different technologies and languages, always eager to learn the best practices of each to produce idiomatic and correct solutions.

I'm not opinionated, although I do have opinions and preferences. I'm happy to embrace the fun challenge of adapting to the given situation. I love to learn different technologies out of a genuine interest in gaining different perspectives on software development, both to help me keep an open mind and to be mindful of the variety of different approaches that can be taken to solve a problem. You can get a sampling of this in the link above to my notes.

About Me:

Technology manager / director and SAAS solutions & integrations consultant for e-commerce. 17 years in the business. Full-stack web developer for most of that. Startup founder, growth hacker and Product/UX for a moment too.

I have been a hiring manager, recruited and staffed up engineering teams and I know gobs of stuff about the technology business. Just wrapped up a year stint as a tech director at a digital agency in Los Angeles to return to consulting, though generally open minded to whatever opportunities should cross my desk.

Technologies: Python/Django, PHP, Javascript, HTML/CSS/SASS, Shopify/Liquid, MySQL, Wordpress, CRM/Salesforce, analytics and many many vendors (ask). A little NodeJS, some light devops, a smidge of React. Also dabbled with iOS, Unity & C# for VR.

Technologies: lua, python, perl, kvm, hyper-v, linux, windows, ansible, and formerly c/c++. Poking at rust and godot in the free time.

Résumé/CV: Short time game developer into technical support into datacenter sysadmin in a mixed environment. Run a homelab for practice and providing servers for friends.

My history has put me at every angle of computer and software from development, deployment, and how best intentions actually end up with end users. I do a lot of investigating and untangling inherited networks that use all sorts of well aged technologies. Additionally I am the premier source of debugging the magical perl scripts written by folks who don't share a common language that do something but nobody knows what.

I love every part of what I have done but wouldn't mind moving to new frontiers such as hardware. Prosthetics have always been a keen interest of mine and would love to break into that world somehow.

Hi. I'm Craig. I'm a full-stack analyst developer with over two decades of experience of a wide range of full life-cycle software projects.

I work primarily, but not exclusively, with Microsoft technologies and the .NET framework, leading complex and challenging enterprise software development projects to successfully deliver robust, secure, scalable and efficient software solutions that produce genuine and quantifiable business value.

Throughout my career I've built web, desktop, server and embedded software and am just as accomplished at designing and developing a single use website for a dozen local users as I am a global microservices infrastructure supporting millions. I've helped numerous businesses of varying sizes in varying industries get their technology investment right and I can do the same for you.

Recent projects include:

\+ Successfully lead, developed and delivered complete greenfield and bespoke web site and back-end web platform for a leading UK children's charity, forming a core component of a complete brand refresh and redesign.

\+ Successfully lead project to develop industry leading anti-motor fraud website, web service, OLAP & OLTP system and data warehouse including one of Europe's largest anti-fraud databases for a Top 40 UK law firm.

\+ Successfully designed and delivered market-leading, best-of-breed corporate travel management web & desktop-based product suite for a company who, largely as a result of the technology, were later acquired in a multi-million pound deal.

Email: email@example.com

I'm looking for an internship because my planed research job for the summer fell through. I'm a fourth year undergraduate in CS at the University of Toronto. So now I'm looking for something interesting to do over the summer.

I program a fair bit on my own time, largely in Rust. A few examples of things I've done are:

\- Implementing coroutines and generators from scratch in Rust (with a bit of assembly) [0].

\- Creating a text to speech editor also in Rust [1].

\- Made a realtime raytraced pong game in C++/Vulkan [2].

I like to work on low level projects, but am very flexible, learn quickly, and am happy to help on any interesting project.

I've been a TA for the last two years for a variety of theoretical CS, math, and AI courses. Two summers ago I worked for some cognitive science professors developing an android app for memory research. Last summer I was jack of all programming trades for a molecular genetics lab.

Get in touch if you have anything that might be interesting.

Hi, I'm Alex. I'll solve your problem in something related to programming: 1) web/mobile/desktop, 2) data science/machine learning, 3) security & 4) blockchain/bitcoin.

I'm stronger in the first 2 areas. And less strong, but pretty interested still in the last 2.

I'm looking more for long-term partnership rather than hire, get done and forget thing.

My 2 latest projects are a) [https://NullUrl.xyz](https://NullUrl.xyz) and b) internet shop which is online already but not fully functional yet. I built these from scratch.

Programmable Fax – API for sending and receiving faxes - <AUTHOR> http://twilio.com/fax <comment><USER2> If Twilio will sign a business associates agreement, this could be huge in the healthcare field. EMRs have terrible interoperability so doctors and health systems typically fax health records to one another. However, this service does not look HIPAA compliant based on the sparse documentation. It doesn't look promising that they will sign a BAA according to this document. [https://support.twilio.com/hc/en- us/articles/223136467-Ensur...](https://support.twilio.com/hc/en- us/articles/223136467-Ensuring-HIPAA-compliancy-with-Twilio-made-applications)

<comment><USER3> You might want to take a look our service, Interfax, an API-powered internet fax service provider, which addresses HIPAA and offers BAA's.

In fact, we cover a range of regulatory/standard requirements such as PCI-DSS (Tier 1) and EU GDPR.

We're now also looking at the Oz equivalent of these types of legislation.

[https://www.interfax.net/en/hipaa_compliance](https://www.interfax.net/en/hipaa_compliance)

<comment><USER4> I'm only familiar with RightFax in the EHR world. How does Interfax compares to it (are they even filling the same need)?

<comment><USER3> InterFAX is the SaaS version of RightFax. No installation of hardware, software, or phone lines required. (But, as with any Saas, trust in the vendor is necessary).

</comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER5> This has been kicked around for a really long time and I'm happy they finally launched it.

Around 2013 or so, one of the junior engineers on the Twilio Voice team pitched his innovation week project with a single slide saying "Fax: The time is now." The time has finally arrived! Congrats John.

<comment><USER6> Guessing this will kill Phaxio. Compare the pricing:

[https://www.twilio.com/fax/pricing](https://www.twilio.com/fax/pricing)

[https://www.phaxio.com/pricing/](https://www.phaxio.com/pricing/)

<comment><USER7> it's amazing that phaxio have gotten away with such high prices for so long.

<comment><USER8> Phaxio founder here.

Our pricing might seem higher (and may be in certain situations), but it works a bit differently that Twilio's. Twilio charges you the 1c _plus_ the costs of the call. Phaxio is an "all in" rate _including_ retrying the call. And, at Phaxio, if the calls all fail there's no cost to you.

I'm not saying that we won't adjust our pricing (#competition), but there's a difference in the actual unit cost.

<comment><USER9> How long does it take to send a page of fax? Their pricing is 0.007 per minute. I haven't seen many fax machines take more than a minute per page, but they would have to take 10 minutes to catch up to your pricing.

Edit: Fixed time to comparable pricing.

<comment><USER10> I'd be surprised to see more than a couple minutes for even a complicated fax page. I've seen 45-70 seconds average for a not-too-complicated page.

It also depends on the baud rate (never thought _that_ term would come back, eh?) negotiated between both ends. A 14400 baud transmission will of course be faster than 9600.

<comment><USER11> I paid $10 to send a 28 page fax. I absolutely believe utility and govt companies still use fax because they want to make somethings very hard for the average customer. There's no reason why I shouldn't be able to send an email a pdf to show good credit so they don't charge me a deposit fee.

Twilio please build a mobile app so those of us who don't live with typewriters and fax machines can deal with our nasty govt.

<comment><USER12> Where in the government do you still have to fax things?

<comment><USER6> This had me curious, so I tried googling for

      site: *.gov fax

Was surprised at the results. It may not be the only conduit, but it is there for job applications, VA benefits, applying for a headstone in a national cemetery, court filings, IRS documents, and much more.

</comment></comment></comment></comment></comment></comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER13> I just assumed from first glance that this was an early April Fools (I guess it must be April 1st in Australia by now)

But after seeing full API docs... is this real? I'm so confused!

<comment><USER14> I'm guessing it's an American thing. I think they still use checks too.

<comment><USER15> In the US, checks are free; wire transfers cost money. Yes, that's annoying.

[edit]

Even stranger, I can go online and have my bank mail a check to anywhere in the US for free. It's $20 to send it directly to someone's bank account.

<comment><USER14> The concept of mailing pieces of paper as a way to pay bills is so strange to me. Fore reference, I'm in my mid thirties and have never used a check in my life. I remember my mom used them when I was very young, but I don't think I've even seen one in about thirty years.

<comment><USER16> You've never taken piano lessons or bought Girl Scout cookies or paid rent, have you.

<comment><USER14> No, don't have them here, and yes I have, but bills like rent go straight to my online bank.

</comment></comment></comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER17> If anyone's first reaction was along the lines of: "Faxing in 2017?" or "Is this an April Fool's joke?", consider that the healthcare industry still uses faxes frequently.

I once interviewed at a company that was building software for ordering durable medical equipment in hospitals. They told me that all orders were faxed to the insurance companies, and the error rate for copying data to the faxed form was about 90%. This results in repeated fax transmissions and patients waiting days to know whether their insurance company will buy them a wheelchair.

Using an API like this, you can at least digitize one end of the process, error-free, and still deliver the expected fax to the other side which hasn't upgraded yet.

<comment><USER18> No :-)

My first reaction was "I have to rewrite one of these in a week or two, is this API easier/cheaper to use than our current vendor?"

I suppose if this post had come up a few months earlier or later, I would not have cared so much. But today, I'm all over it.

</comment></comment><comment><USER18> Here's how it looks like it works to me:

(their stuff is of course HTTPS, and I'm assuming the caller's support links would be as well. Each REST call also has authentication tokens, of course)

=== Out: ===

You POST data to their REST resource, including a link to your PDF document, which they pull (as well as phone number data). Presumably, you want to add some kind of temporary security token/nonce to the link that you give them.

Twilio uses the link to pull your PDF, and sends it to the previously indicated number.

=== In: ===

You GET a list of FAX doc IDs. I don't see query parameters for date ranges and/or phone numbers, but presumably you can do so.

You GET the metadata for a FAX ID obtained from the previous list. This includes a temporary link for the image data.

You GET the image data from the indicated "authenticating" temporary link. It's unclear what the format is (accept headers???), but it's likely PDF only.

===

What seems to be missing in this process is a way to associate an inbound FAX with an outbound FAX (e.g. - barcode or other built in OCR index value). This is needed so that you can support "sign this and send it back" workflows. The phone number is not enough: many docs could go to the same phone number, and the remote signer could send the FAX back from any number, anyway.

<comment><USER3> Your description is right. To give this a visual dimension, here are sequence diagrams showing how outbound and inbound faxing work at another provider (disclaimer: I'm a co-founder at Interfax):

Outbound: [https://www.interfax.net/en/dev/dev-guide/using-interfax- for...](https://www.interfax.net/en/dev/dev-guide/using-interfax-for-sending- faxes)

Inbound: [https://www.interfax.net/en/dev/dev-guide/using-interfax- for...](https://www.interfax.net/en/dev/dev-guide/using-interfax-for- receiving-faxes)

Your suggestion for a "sign this and send it back" workflow is an excellent idea. Indeed it shouldn't require more than a single fax number per client, leaving the barcode to do any necessary association. But I would say that this functionality is not best placed on the fax service provider's system, but rather in the application that creates the document to be signed and eventually receives it back. Here's what I mean: [http://imgur.com/a/JEldx](http://imgur.com/a/JEldx)

<comment><USER18> Thanks for the sequence diagram. That's exactly what we're doing.

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER19> Anyone see anything about how they handle simultaneous incoming faxes to the same number? With other faxing APIs we've used, if we get a new inbound fax while another is being received, the second (new) inbound fax will get a busy signal and not get procewsed.

Phaxio has said they can handle any number of simultaneous inbound faxes, but we haven't had a chance to try them yet. It would be nice to know if Twilio is an option.

<comment><USER10> Multiple simultaneous incoming is fine. They'll all get received properly.

<comment><USER20> HOW WOULD YOU KNOW!

/s

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER21> The shocking thing about this is that there must still be enough Faxes being sent to actually justify this new product.

Where are they still used at 'scale'?

<comment><USER22> A _lot_ of the Uber-for-food-delivery startups use them for ordering at restaurants because there is no text-based API to restaurants and the UX of receiving an automated phone call is poor.

They're _pervasive_ in finance, insurance, employee benefits, etc.

They're also a good one-to-many API multiplexer. So many businesses can take a fax and have a human operate on it that many software companies can use them to add actuators to their software without having to bizdev the company into adding an actual API integration.

<comment><USER23> > _food-delivery_

So it's easier/cheaper for a restaurant to have a dedicated phone line for faxing (plus fax and supplies) than connect a printer to a PC?

Is this because someone needs to actually print incoming emails or orders? And if yes, is there an opportunity for some kind of software solution that would always print what it receives, with no human intervention?

<comment><USER24> The short answer is 'yes' — fax machines are actually a pretty great solution to this problem. If you think about it, there isn't really that much overhead for having a fax line and a $40 fax machine vs running a full computer + printer combo, set up is trivial, faxes have a very well-understood track record, and the 'sender' gets direct feedback on whether or not the physical document was successfully delivered.

If there's a software gap here, it's being filled as features in modern Point Of Sale systems. That space is really crowded right now (Revel, Clover, Toast, 'more modern' offerings from legacy providers like Micros and NCR). There may be an opportunity to provide a more niche offering rather than a comprehensive solution like those, but the space is far from empty.

<comment><USER23> I'm not looking for startup ideas in this domain, I was just wondering "in general". If the PC + printer is already there (surely it has to be for accounting, etc.) why have a fax.

But ok, if the fax and the phone line cost next to nothing and it "just works", then sure it makes a lot of sense.

<comment><USER24> A lot of these restaurants _do_ have a PC + printer in a back room or office somewhere. If the restaurant is owned by a group (or small chain), that setup may only exist at one location.

They can (and do!) put the fax machine right by the kitchen.

</comment></comment></comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER25> This is pretty neat. From the API docs it looks like they've really reduced it down to, " _Here 's a PDF, send this to number XYZ_".

Here's a fun side project for somebody: Make a network tunnel that uses faxes as a way to send packets back and forth. You can encode the packets as a QR code, ship it over via fax, and then reply back with another fax. Be cool to see that in action with a human doing the receipt / transport vs. a fully automated one (two computers using Twilio API).

</comment><comment><USER26> Tons of great information on this thread. The idea that in the year 2017 we are transmitting sensitive data at modem speed technology is somewhat mind boggling. The fax server market is very mature and has evolved, however the transport has not. etherFAX has created the largest ecosystem when it comes to fax and healthcare ([https://etherfax.net/solutions/etherfax- sen](https://etherfax.net/solutions/etherfax-sen)). etherFAX supports and serves every major fax server application and EMR. Having over 6 million connected endpoints in healthcare allows for end-to-end encrypted transmissions and guaranteed delivery, without traversing the PSTN. The Fax Federation (faxfederation.com) allows for other fax server providers (like Twilio) to join said ecosystem.

</comment><comment><USER27> This is neat! But I have to expose the PDF to the internet for Twilio to pick up the file and send it?

[https://www.twilio.com/docs/api/fax/quickstart#send-a- fax](https://www.twilio.com/docs/api/fax/quickstart#send-a-fax)

<comment><USER28> [https://www.twilio.com/docs/api/security#validating- requests](https://www.twilio.com/docs/api/security#validating-requests)

 _Twilio cryptographically signs its requests_

Not sure on the specifics of a GET vs the normal POST callbacks but they definitely are aware this is an issue.

<comment><USER29> I'd be surprised if it wasn't similar to (or exactly like) their POST auth. They concatenate the URL, the post variables (alphabetically sorted) and your twilio account id and hash it with your auth key. They put that hash into an auth header on the post.

I had to dig into it because we had a reverse proxy in front of our app and the hash generated by their client .net library was understandably different than what they sent because the domains were ultimately different.

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER30> Came up with a use case for this within our current product within 30 seconds of seeing this, love it!

</comment><comment><USER31> WTF?

"Programmable Fax" \- as if fax was somehow not accessible to computers before twilio invented a proprietary API for it. Yes, it was, believe it or not: You can indeed send faxes from software, via a fax modem connected to a landline, or an ISDN TA connected to an ISDN line, via a GSM MT connected to a GSM network ...

Or, if you like your internet and don't want to deal with older communications networks directly, there even is a frickin non-proprietary API for it that was standardised nearly two decades ago: T.37 and T.38. And there have been companies offering gateway services that allow you to send faxes to the PSTN using those APIs for about as long.

</comment><comment><USER32> I am interested in how this works on the back end, and whether or not they're using t.38. And if they're using t.38, how reliable this service is. As someone that played with -- nay, engineered -- a faxing solution over a couple of years' worth of side project time in order to facilitate playing an ARG, I can say confidently that faxing over VOIP lines ("t.38") is almost impossible to do reliably.

</comment><comment><USER33> now if they could implement barcode recognition for inbound faxes and plug into taskrouter they would have a very compelling offering.

<comment><USER34> What's the use case for barcode recognition? Sorry I've never had to use faxes much myself so I'm curious.

<comment><USER19> For us — we send out requests for medical records to doctors' offices. When doctors send records back to us, they usually include the cover sheet we sent over. Since that cover sheet has a barcode on it, we know which record request the incoming records are for.

<comment><USER18> Same. At work we are in the process of rewriting an application that sends FAXes to doctors for their signatures. The barcode is on the edge of the doc, rather than the coverpage, but otherwise, same. The barcode is used as less error prone OCR for a record number so the FAX can be associated with the right "file". The users requesting the FAX loop view the returned document when it comes back to verify it (or at least, they will, when I finish recreating that feature :-) ). HOWEVER, users DO NOT sift through all incoming documents with data for other people which is none of a given user's business. Having to do so would be not only an inconvenience, but a data privacy issue.

Plus, I would rather somebody else build doc ID OCR in a language other than Java so I don't have to build it myself. This is going to come up time and time again.

 _Common decency_ dictates that we must do everything possible to make faxing as _hard as possible_.

When someone asks you to fax something, _pretend you have no idea what they 're talking about_.

Then ridicule them.

<comment><USER36> Not everyone that demands a fax wants it through fax. Making someone's job harder socially won't get a business, organization, or agency to change their ways.

If you want places like healthcare to stop using faxes, propose a secure solution that meets their needs and fulfills government requirements / restrictions.

</comment><comment><USER38> Oh thank goodness! I've been waiting for this. Been looking for a quality alternative to efax for my wife and now I can build one for about 1/10th of the ongoing cost.

</comment><comment><USER39> I think the last time I sent a fax must have been more than ten years ago. How is sending a fax better than emailing the document file or a scan of the document if it was already on paper?

As for doctors using faxes,that sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

I live in Norway, all the health records are online so my GP and any hospital in the country can see my records (if I give consent), prescriptions are electronic and paperless, etc. I still get snail mail letters from the health system but that is simply because I have not got around to applying for a secure email account (the state gently reminds me now and again).

</comment><comment><USER41> I would love to buy an app that uses this. Faxitnice stole my money

Police, Computing, and Nationalism – Kamau Bobb - <AUTHOR> http://kamaubobb.com/2019/01/police-computing-and-nationalism/ <comment><USER2> This will seem tone deaf, but while the author tries to emphasize the fear he felt, this final story seems not very oppressive; and while he makes statements claiming a person of privilege would be treated better, I wonder how.

The most fear invoking aspects:

1\. Police have hand on holstered gun as they approach a deadly machine (car) and possibly armed unidentified person (I believe this is policy)

2\. A "grisly" attitude in asking for ID before telling the reason for the stop. And being told to keep his hands still and visible after he had fumbled his wallet.

3\. Waiting for backup - and backup securing the stop, but ultimately being the nice good cop.

Here's why I don't believe he feared for his life

1\. He stood up for his right to not offer ID. (this is inadvisable but legal)

2\. He texted his wife despite the wallet debacle where the officer told him to keep his hands on the wheel. (this is questionably unlawful and disobeying an officer)

3\. He was quickly free to go, though his vehicle would be impounded because an uninsured vehicle can't be driven. However, he decided to be frustrated with the officer and not grab his personal belongings.

4\. Ultimately, he discusses with the officer that he is free to use a cell phone, talk to state farm, resolve the issue, and ultimately, trusts the officer with his cell phone.

5\. By the end, he is asking if the ticket could be destroyed (despite now knowing he in fact broke the law) and discussing the officer with the backup he was afraid of.

A good lawyer would tell him that he should have done the following:

1\. Should have had bill of sale and insurance in a provisionally tagged vehicle.

2\. Should have cooperated with a driver's license, as he is driving a vehicle. Even though he doesn't legally have to. Unless this would incriminate him.

3\. Shouldn't have said anything. Take the ticket. Should have let them impound the car, take his personal belongings if he isn't being detained.

4\. Go home. contact lawyer, let lawyer find out why insurance wasn't paid, and count the $300 of impound fee and ticket up to an accident.

<comment><USER2> I would love if the downvoter had a conversation about this though; It's not my place to say whether a person had fear or not, but I feel this was written about and posted for reasons that make and expand that fear; in a fearmongering way.</comment></comment>
