Sort of, but the benefit is more along the lines of regression testing to make sure when things change they don't break. Also it does random fuzzing which can generate weird, edge-case inputs, like bizarre Unicode strings or extremely large numbers. These might technically pass declared schema validation but end up breaking your actual handler or database implementation.

TypeScript-first API framework built on the idea that an API's specification, implementation, validation, and tests should never drift apart, because they are the same thing.

If you are doing it from the parking lot you don't need RFID/BLE/NFC you can use GPS. If you want to do indoor proximity via your app you can use a beacon with the sdks for iOS (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/deter...) and android (https://developers.google.com/beacons/). Estimote is probably one of the most popular beacon hardware makers https://estimote.com/ There are many.

If you really need to do this without a customer app, that has location services turned, on then you will need to use some service provider like kontakt.io. If you search for indoor location tracking there are lots of them.

Also note there are some privacy issues here. I wouldn't want to carry around a BLE card just so the staff at a petstore know that I am in their parking lot.

Also there is the cost of giving these to users, ultimately the customer will have to cover that cost, which I wouldn't want to do.

"This finding is inconsistent with the cholesterol hypothesis (ie, that cholesterol, particularly LDL-C, is inherently atherogenic). Since elderly people with high LDL-C live as long or longer than those with low LDL-C, our analysis provides reason to question the validity of the cholesterol hypothesis."

"We might also point out that the vast area in the middle is shared by both those with and without heart disease. In fact, the solid line represents about seven times as many people as the dotted line. That means that the vast majority of people who developed heart disease developed it with cholesterol levels similar to those of seven times as many people who remained free of heart disease."

I was expecting the same thing, and was also disappointed.

I am involved in Django and love it and the community. I only do RoR work when I have to and I hate it.

It comes down to personal preference. To me Django was much easier, more flexible, and "funner" to work in.

Finally a post I can respond to on HN.

1. If you want decent wireless phones I think your budget might be a bit low, check out the Snom M3 http://www.voipsupply.com/sh-m3dect-basic, or the Aastra 57iCT http://www.voipsupply.com/aastra-6757i-ct. (Cisco's phones are not worth the money)

2. SIP trunks/hosted PBX will save you some money but you need a good connection 3. You need QoS if you only have 1 internet connection. If you are doing a lot of calls at once you might want to get your another connection http://www.bandcalc.com/

4. If you go with a SIP trunk might as well use hosted PBX onebox, ringcentral, toktumi are ones that I have heard of 5. If you need high reliability stay on analog lines and get a server with FXS, I have used Xorcom. Cost is around $1100.

6. Do you need fax? Some hosted services come with faxtoemail and emailtofax.
