Ask HN: How Compressed Is Netflix?
3 by OJFord | 3 comments on Hacker News.
Recently I noticed that Amaazon Prime soundtracks seemed (anecdotally, for the small sanple size that I happened across in normal usage) to be vastly superior for surround sound than Netflix. The this morning I noticed that Netflix app data usage in Android is 'restricted', which I can only assume is because it doesn't want us analysing the size of xGB sources.

Ask HN: As a female/minority, how do you vet a company before taking a job?
26 by bwb | 41 comments on Hacker News.
I read stories about what it was like to work at Uber as a woman and I wonder how women and minorities vet a company they are thinking about working for or received a job offer for? How do you try to screen the environment and figure out if it is a hellscape before you enter? I'd welcome any feedback. I am working on a research project on how people analyze and screen when offered a new position...

Ask HN: Investments on Vinyl Records?
4 by mrdobelina | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hello, Me and my two co-founders we're working on an iPhone app (for now) for vinyl record lovers and collectors. We're having good traction and retention, testing some different pricing model and looking forward to a monthly subscription plan. The industry is a niche, a bigger one actually, and it's 15 years that is constantly growing. A mix of nostalgia and need of the people to own a physical product rather than an mp3. We're looking for investors or acceleration programs, but I'm always hesitant in what direction to look for in our case, considering the niche. Should we look for pure investors (for the sake of just money) or should we look for someone who's a vinyl collector? The market is there, opportunities as well, but this won't be an "AirBnB/Uber business opportunity" (well at least for now!). I know it might sound like a dumb question but somehow is not. I truly believe in this project (I'm coming from a failed vinyl record project which actually was well known between vinyl record lovers), I want to make it happen and I'm trying to figure out what would be the best approach to connect with someone who believe in us, the project and our vision. If anyone interested I'll share the links as I don't want this post to look spam.
