This is very cool. I have been working on a way to get a hestmap of distance from roads to plan Backcountry hiking trips but this light pollution data seems much simpler.

Amazing news. Kinda sad to see that Stripe was not on the list of early adopters but I'm sure they will implement it soon.

In Switzerland we build an awesome eBill system ontop of the equivalent thing to FedNow. Its all run by Six Group which is the biggest Stock Exchange but it is jointly owned by the big banks and government. So they all agreed to add this eBilling system. Its so much superior to having paper come in the mail all the time.

So much is possible once you have instantly confirming transactions supported by all banks. Suppliers can assume all possible customers have a bank account that can do this in contrast to the crazy world of sending paper checks by mail.

Interesting writing style

Funny how on the same day we see google announcing that BRAD will not expand into Europe

does any one have good practical experience running Supabase locally? Its against their business model to have this run well so I'm a bit scared of the growing lock-in.

(P.S. if Supabase is listening some customers like myself would be willing to pay a significant amount for support in a kubernetes/docker deployment running on our servers. We currently pay $50k - $100k simply for enterprise support contracts for each Cloudera, kafka, Kong, Flink... Not your target customer group so would be silly to add thoughts out laud )

Given the comments here this seems to be one of most inaccurate articles to reach the front-page

Another important question would be how does this fraud estimate compare to fraud for private insurances. Perhaps private insurances reject more claims and look in more detail but they don't have the ability to directly hire a police force like the Government managed version of insurance.

If this $100B number were accurate I would expect a certain group of politicians to jump on it. The total Medicaid spend in 2021 was $734B . So that would mean 14% of Medicaid payments are fraud. This would mean you could simply take ~100 Medicaid bills at random from the whole country and have an agent go follow the money in detail and 14% of the time they would end up arresting someone ? Seems like this could easily self fund more agents if the numbers are true.

Cool, but your read me is kinda empty. Maybe some elaboration, comparison or the like ?

Also a lot of the big VPN brands are blocked so its hard for a regular person to get one. I recently helped someone out to get one required us to iterate through a number of providers each time me sending them the binary over signal so they can try it out. Spoiler: mullvad vpn was first to go through

down vote for Scaleway, got burned by them.

They changed the pricing out under me and make it difficult to migrate out. At the time there was a very restrictive upload bandwidth so it would have taken weeks to upload my database backup files to the new hetzner servers. We ended up putting effort into finding the core data which can't be lost and only uploading those individual tables/row filters.

IDK how they are now but for sure go check upload limits.

The search does not seem to be returning what your searching. Example search "IPFS" nothing comes up that mentions IPFS or related tech . I guess this is a fake it till you make it POC ?

Lame move google, CDC = Change Data Capture .

I loved reading this, thanks for the collection.

The funding trouble is somewhat surprising. Has anyone gone through and done a deep dive comparison of other open source projects that are doing fine.

Mastodon, doing fine on donations because the product small and well defined ?

IPFS, from the start they planned to make money with fileCoin and IPFS is a supporting service they develop because it is useful for fileCoin?

Elasticsearch, well defined product with traditional enterprise feature split and users who are very accustomed to paying for this kind of a product ?

MongoDB, well defined product and much more restrictive license ?

Supabase, much less to develop because they are mostly gluing existing code together. But they are bringing out some great new things and the glue has value . And again its a database so people are accustomed to paying ?

gitlab, nginx...

There are actually countless open source companies doing well when they are in a category of product that people are accustomed to paying for.

How far away would matrix be from becoming something like Cloud Native Computing Foundation or Linux Foundation. I suppose larger tech companies need to start making money with Matrix not Goverments or smaller anti capitalism groups.

Thanks for pointing this out. Can definitely put this dataset to use

recently i had a legit use for going past the 10th page of google, after which it wants to give me no more into. I tried the same query on kagi only got 2 pages.... I don't see if the premium actually gets u more

Is it just me or is this category of product exploding right now?

Here, a list of similar tools that let you easily make a data model and generate some descent UI from it ?

https://budibase.com/ https://baserow.io/ https://directus.io/ https://strapi.io/ https://nocodb.com/ https://keystonejs.com/ https://saltcorn.com/ https://www.plasmic.app/ https://www.appsmith.com/ https://www.jigdev.com/ https://www.sanity.io/ https://www.jetadmin.io/ https://dashibase.com/ https://cortezaproject.org/

The above are only the open source ones with a descent number of GitHub stars. I can't think of another time when I found so much competition in one product category. Or am I mistaken and this is not special?

Try adding site:uptodate.com for medical information. A large percentage of US hospitals pay for access to the full app for all their docotrs. The idea is that UpToDate pays people to constantly review the literature on topics and update the summary in their article for a fast reference on the job. (Not sure what the downside to this free web version is but you can find the whole catalogue on your typical pirate sites)

FTX was a centralized exchange. Those who believe in trying to build an alternative financial system did not use centralized exchanges except perhaps for on-ramp off-ramp. Uniswap among others has been stable with very audited open code that prevents anyone from doing what FTX did.

Just want to remind ppl to not put them in the same bucket.

Overblown title. -Its not the government but a private energy company

-The turbine is 20+ years old and was scheduled to be decommissioned at this time.

"A spokesperson for Energiekontor, which built and runs the rest of the windfarm, said a time limit to its operational permit meant it expected to have to dismantle the five remaining turbines by the end of 2023"

"Rebuilding the turbines to make way for the expanding mine was part of the original agreement that allowed the windfarm to be constructed in 2001, he added, and not a result of a recent change of German energy policy"

I think it's worth talking to a few people who have master or phds in Philosophie. From my sample the general rule is that staying philosophy results in your have a huge set of new questions but no answers. So i am very skeptical of spending time on reading more philosophy than i have.

Just a comment on that second to last paragraph. Rest is good imo

Hetzner for the win

Jesus has no one in this thread ever build a legitimate product online and tried to get noticed by legitimate customers that will get value from the tech you build?

SEO is something you just have to do, can't get around it for some products. Some of it you can think of like how you have to follow bullshit conventions to make a resume easy to understand for recruiters. And others is just plain getting your name out there.

The competition around black hat SEO and spam content is disgusting but what can you do, just gotta try to get more links. Here my analogy would be how we all complain about inflation and housing prices but then when you wanna move to SF or Seattle you will still participate in the madness and bit 100k over asking price.

I also build one, be kind to me too corepo.org. ;P

Congrats on release, legit game.

My initial reaction is negative. I have really bad vibes with oil/gas industry mining and pollution. So now i'm wondering if there is a market for this same kinda game but its all renewable industries. Sustainable crop rotating farms, fog collection water source, planted forest for wood construction, public transport for workers, wind/solar power everywhere.

Also i think big chat apps will be surprised how few of their users switch. I still see open source projects regularly moving from rocket.chat to discord for the UI.

Cool and now let EU regulation learn from this that you can have interoperability with encryption

I know HN has something against Blockchain. But there are some really smart people working on the idea of a permanent web.

For instance https://www.arweave.org/ is based on the concept that you prepay for 200 years of storage but storage cost is decreasing over time so it's also like a future option on advance of technology.

I guess people also know IPFS i just didn't see it get mentioned.

And also i hope everyone here who cares about this topic is donating to the Internet Archive which also a solution.

I wish so bad that the signal crypto integration would have been done better. They could have implemented a wallet and generated revenue in the hundreds of millions like metamask does.

Starting a new blockchain obviously has founder incentives which are great but it only makes sense when people feel like your contributing to the diversity of blockchains not simply copy pasting monero.
