Brazil World Cup 2014 Highlights Android App
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wesurfweb.world2014goals
Hey Guys, I just published my first Android app on play store. The app simply lists all the FIFA 2014 matches and which team won the match. The biggest feature of this app is you can actually watch Match highlights. Currently, Match Highlights are available only for first 33 matches, but soon I'm going to add other matches as well. You can watch high quality videos of all the goals scored by players and matches. It's that easy. I tried to make the interface as minimalist as possible so the purpose of the application can be accomplished without any ado. You can download the application from here: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wesurfweb.world2014goals Let me know how's the application and what can be done to further improve the application. Also, let me know what other features or things you'd like to see in this application. If it's not available in your country, let me know so I can send you the apk directly. :)

People's road in India's far east.
http://www.deccanherald.com/content/327342/miracle-man-builds-peoples-road.html
"The 28-year-old IAS officer Armstrong Pame used Facebook to raise funds for building a 100-km public road. Armstrong Pame, the sub-divisional magistrate (SDM) of Tousem, which lies in Tamenglong, his home district, and the first IAS officer from the Zeme tribe of Nagaland, is the man who was instrumental in single-handedly taking on the ambitious project of building the road without any state government aid."
Would that songs' "sharing" model violate copyright laws?
So lately I have been to my friends house and he has like entire wall of CD, probably 10,000 or so.
I was browsing through and picked 4 that I like. He told me no problem, as I always return them "on time".

Then he said "you're web programmer, why dont you build a website where I could upload my music instead of you coming and looking through CDs one after another?", so I smiled (he is not that much into computers or internet) and replied "that's like a graveyard of companies that did it and quickly got in serious legal troubles". Although I am not aware if someone is/was in jail for audio copyrights infringement, but I am sure its not easy to live with $1B in liabilities because you had 1,000 songs and the judge said each was worth $150,000.

So he replied: "well, you borrowing those CDs from me right now. This is not illegal, as I do not make any money off of you and the same time if you posses those CDs, I cannot listen them at the same time, riight?".

Does he have a point or not?

In other words: lets say I design a simple website based on Amazon S3 (traffic) where you can upload your music (I could do a md5 checksum on client side of each file and if a it exists on server, skip uploading part [I know there are different bit rates and coders etc but that checksum approach would limit bandwidth usage anyways]) and "share it" with acknowledged/accepted friends only via "borrow/lend" model.

If A and B are friends, then A can look through B songs list, and B can look through A songs of list. At any time, either A or B can "borrow" a song/CD from B or A. Once this happens, that song/CD become unavailable to the owner, until he request it back (then it "comes back" right away into the owner's profile, and lender looses rights to play it). There would be no functionality to download/copy/own the song by lender (you could only play it via web or maybe some stand alone player or perhaps a plug-in to existing players?), but I wouldn't loose any sleep or put serious efforts into protecting the system, since there are always ways to break into it or copy files.

So what do you think?

Sharing to me means you had something (a file), you split it (copy) into two and shared it/pirated it.
In this case, only one person at the time would have/own the song/album. Is it still pirating?

I wonder if that model would keep RIAA's claws off and give them some serious headache. ;-)

Petrodollar Warfare & Collapse of U.S. Dollar Imperialism
http://www.chuckcoppes.com/index2.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=44
From an international perspective the EU economy is much more fiscally balanced than the US. The EU does more trade with OPEC than the US and would certainly welcome a monopoly petroeuro exchange system. This would have the same effect as subsidizing the EU economy and the ECB is already creating monetary debt instruments (Euro bonds) to absorb the coming influx of petroeuros. The EU is now the largest economy in the world (not the US) and China’s largest trading partner is the EU (not the US). When America’s financial house of cards collapse the UK may have little choice but to finally join the Eurozone for survival. European economist Dr. Krassimir Petrov keenly observed that “the British most likely did not adopt the euro [in1999] namely because the Americans must have pressured them not to otherwise the London IPE would have had to switch to euros, thus mortally wounding the dollar and their strategic partner.”[40] The petroeuro challenge
The U.S. Economy according to Thiel
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu4VkOBq4NE
Peter Thiel says the U.S. may be facing several years of slow growth or stagnation. However, in a globalized and very competitive world, there are surprisingly big constraints on political action that can lead us toward being less capitalist and less competitive. In short, we will compete, although it will be an increasingly difficult slog unless our technological means elevate dramatically.

Show HN: A couple of links about Stable Diffusion AI Generation
https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/wiki/Features
I've been studying Stable diffusion for some days and this Github page I linked in the title shows the incredible power that Stable Diffusion has Right now, and it is growing everyday. I think people on HN ought to know and discuss about it, and share their ideas and discoveries.

It can do text-to-image out of nothing with a customer-grade GPU, and image-to-image for incredible variations that you can guide with the criteria you choose.

https://imgur.com/a/Jt76AHA

Just check that picture out, I made variations from the base picture top-left, either to black-ened, or to white-ened, or to the combination of both... The power is infinite. It is called "Prompts matrix".

You can run it from your own computer preferably with 8GB VRAM+ GPU, or cloud-based virtual machine (I managed to run it on Microsoft Azure but not for cheap). To install Stable Diffusion and experiment for yourself, simply follow this page guidance: https://rentry.org/voldy#-guide-

If you just want to try out simply you can check out "beta.dreamstudio.ai" but it's not free beyond the first 200 images. It is free on Huggingface but it's struggling with the demand so I Won't link it.

It generates 512x512 imges, but you can ENHANCE the fuck out of it with this link: https://github.com/xinntao/Real-ESRGAN
Check out the link "Portable Windows". You can commandline it and batch a whole folder with a .bat script, on Windows (and Unix of course). It's free, no strings attached (as far as I know).

If you generate texture or paintings you can generate a normal map and a displacement map, with CrazyBump.com. You can BATCH it a whole folder to their respective normals. There is a free trial which does the job, but buy it if you can, because it's awesome.

Here is a cool link about SD: https://lexica.art/ ("the SD search engine")
Here's to showcase the most important PROMPTs the engine can handle: http://stable-diffusion-guide.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws...
At this link, you can buy and sell PROMPTS: https://promptbase.com/ (it's a great place to have great ideas)
Finally here's a database of prompts and their generated picture, to get ideas: https://laion-aesthetic.datasette.io/laion-aesthetic-6pls/im...

That's it for what I learned as of know. I hope people will talk about that and so we can get more nerds into the Stable Diffusion and make it even more open and awesome.

Thank you for reading

Ask HN: Website for industrial automation parts for DIY projects?
Can anyone here recommend a website where one can buy "industrial" type gadgets for custom building "machines"?

Specifically what I am in need of right now is a low cost solution for automatically proportioning (by weight) pet treats. They are an odd shape and a bit sticky so our existing machine can't seem to cope with them, and apparently a proper machine which can handle it is ~ $100k.

So in the meantime I thought perhaps a person could take some off the shelf parts and build something from scratch.

The second question is, can anyone comment on how these things are programmed? Would it by typical to have an API accessible from a windows machine to control them?

Germany’s Momox secures investors to go to the next level

[Germany] Serial entrepreneurs and investors Christoph Janz and Mark Gazecki have invested in Momox, Germany’s leading online trade-in service for media products. Momox has run on revenues since 2003, but is now pulling in around €10m a year. The German-only site, which lets users trade-in their used books, CDs, DVDs and games for cash, will use the investment to expand (and hopefully get a UI makeover, geez). The combined investment was €250,000.
