testrecord··on Lone Bitcoin Whale Likely Fueled 2017 Price Surge, Study Says
If you need public data from multiple cryptocurrency exchanges but don't want to deal with weird differences in exchange APIs, Blocktap[1] is a free GraphQL API (that I assisted in developing). We also open sourced our web socket data collection tool CCXWS[2]. It's a single, consistent Javascript API for most major exchanges.

testrecord··on All Tesla Cars Being Produced Now Have Full Self-Driving Hardware
Here in Pittsburgh I see Uber's self driving cars every once in a while. We've some pretty crazy/small/hilly roads here.
testrecord··on Serverless Architectures
Yeah, I guess less so now, but before C# was open sourced the only viable option was Windows servers and people usually used SQL Server with it. So in that case many people chose to lock themselves into that vendor and stack. So in my mind Lambda as a back end is no worse than that in terms of vendor lock-in. I suppose that Amazon will be able to provide support for many years given how much of the internet currently runs off of them.
testrecord··on See the things you’ve searched for, visited, and watched on Google services
I don't own an android phone, so there may be some more I don't see, but heres my list:

Web & App activity (search activity on apps and in browsers)

Location History (Creates a private map of where you go with your signed-in devices)

Device Information (contacts, calendars, apps, and other device data)

Voice & Audio Activity (storing your voice and audio inputs to your account, for example, when you say "Ok Google" to do a voice search)

YouTube Search History (Store your YouTube searches)

YouTube Watch History

They all have an opt out toggle.

testrecord··on Show HN: MapHub – A Google My Maps Alternative, Based on OpenStreetMap Data
1) Yeah, definitely. I suppose one could screenshot, but having a little more fine-tuning as far as dimensions, image size, etc is far more useful. 2) For sure, much like the border distance. 3) Ah, I didn't see the edit icon. Very cool.
testrecord··on Show HN: MapHub – A Google My Maps Alternative, Based on OpenStreetMap Data
Hey this looks cool. I see it's a beta, but some ideas that would be really useful to me and maybe others. MapBox (particularly the desktop version) can create custom stylesheets and do high quality image exports. I like those features if I don't plan to leave the map on the web (e.g. print, email). It would be good also to view the square area covered inside a polygon and be able to edit one once it's placed.
testrecord··on Scientists develop 'unbreakable' glass almost as tough as steel
Man, I've never had a problem with a broken iPhone screen. I worked for months on a pretty large construction site breaking up concrete while dropping my phone fairly regularly and it's still aces.

Obviously a stronger screen would be great, but a case does wonders if you want a functioning phone for now.

testrecord··on Apple CarPlay
They say that it supports other apps. I'm sure that one of the many other GPS app makers will release a carplay app like they did for iPhone.
testrecord··on How to make $800/mo from three lines of code
Well yeah, 3 lines of front end CSS. But there's a bit more back end logic that goes into it. But I do like the concept of relatively small yet profitable changes.
testrecord··on Joe Armstrong on Programmer Productivity
I picked up c# within a day or two with a working knowledge of Java. Some languages are easy to pick up given the right background.

I'll have to check erlang out. I only hear good things.

testrecord··on Torvalds' response to whether RdRand could be compromised in the Linux kernel
The file he mentions: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.... Just so it's easy for everyone to find.
