Ask HN: Can this iPhone data be recovered?
14 by mod | 5 comments on Hacker News. My niece, I think, is learning a lesson the hard way, but I promised to do everything I could to help, and this is my last step. Briefly: * iPhone 7 plus, I think * Last backed up Nov 2017 * Baby born shortly before Nov 2017 * 18 months of baby photos, not backed up * Phone became disabled via ten password attempts * No iTunes machine was previously "trusted" * Phone is hers, has receipt etc Is this recoverable without data loss ? She doesn't care about the phone. She's willing to buy another phone and wait out quantum computing or some brilliant future hack. She is not willing to do a restore and lose her baby photos. Does apple have a backdoor or a way to enable this phone? We also can't get it to connect to wifi--she attempted to up her iCloud size to allow a backup over wifi, which I thought was pretty clever for a non-technical person. Any other ideas to recover the photos? Thanks HN
What is the MIT style of teaching calculus?
7 by crypticlizard | 1 comments on Hacker News. I recently heard from a student at my college that the teacher I'll be taking for Integral Calculus mentions from time to time, "I teach Calculus the MIT style." Can anybody tell me what that means?
How I turned a MVP into a SaaS in 1 month
3 by usfslk | 1 comments on Hacker News. I don't know if you remember but I already posted here, my app was called LongLiveSS, it was a very bad choice... I know, but the idea was good and few people were interested in the solution and subscribed to the newsletter so I decided to make a better version. The first release (built in 7 hours) was horrible, the app wasn't loading JavaScript on some pages, meaning a blank image as screenshot, sometimes the server freeze because I was using the free plan on heroku and so many other bugs I discovered.. that wasn't very serious but now it's here. The 2.0. This app is still very minimal and does only one thing but it does it well, taking screenshots at regular intervals. On free accounts it's 3 days min. interval but if you decide to upgrade you can take a screenshot every 5 min. I am planning to add these features pretty soon - Up to 3 Links - ZIP archive download - Push notifications What would you like to see in the next version? Learn more at http://bit.ly/2ITKtQC
Ask HN: Anyone makes 200k as a software engineer outside US?
55 by ilcavallo | 33 comments on Hacker News. Best salaries I have seen in Switzerland/London are around 140K CHF or £120k as permanent or 650-700 per day as contractor. That is around 155k USD permie and roughly the same considering 10 months employment as contractor. This is a quite rare and top salary in both market but seems a fairly common salary in Bay Area/NYC. Never seen anything above that here in Europe. Also the big bonus/shares culture is not as prevalent in Europe. Anyone here making more than that or knows anyone that does?

Ask HN: What Went Wrong at SilentCircle and Blackphone
5 by ignoramous | 2 comments on Hacker News. The company had a great founder-market fit (PGP inventor Phil Zimmermann, Apple's Jon Callas [0]), and raised $130MM in funding to pull off the Blackphone [1], built on SilentOS based on Android [2]. I could totally see a need for privacy oriented offering in the space (esp since Apple's PR is getting all serious about it). They weren't too soon to the market either (2015/16)? From your perspective, what could have gone wrong? [0] http://bit.ly/2KYmBh2 [1] http://bit.ly/2Vl5KZL [2] http://bit.ly/2KWJ2mR
Ask HN: Have you started a business because nobody wanted to hire you?
40 by ccdev | 13 comments on Hacker News. Also, how did that turn out? Did your business become profitable to the point where it replaced the need to look for a job? I'm curious if you've ever been driven to start a business simply you had little or no alternative choice for making a living. The business could be any kind of legitimate enterprise big or small. Doesn't need to necessarily be software or tech related, could be something from more traditional trades or disciplines.
