Show HN: Feathr – An Open-Source, Enterprise-Grade Virtual Feature Store
https://github.com/linkedin/feathr
Hi everyone! We are engineers from Microsoft/LinkedIn, and we released an open-source Feature Store called Feathr a few weeks ago (https://github.com/linkedin/feathr). It has many highlights like below. Feel free to check out the repository and let us know if there are any questions! We also have a few blogs and recordings in case folks want to learn a bit more about it:

Open Sourcing Feathr (https://engineering.linkedin.com/blog/2022/open-sourcing-fea...)

Feathr + Azure integration (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/feathr-linkedin-s-fea...).

Tech talks on Feathr (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZg01UKQMTY)

And its highlights include (more highlights are in github repo):

Battle tested in production for more than 6 years: LinkedIn has been using Feathr in production for over 6 years and have a dedicated team improving it.

Scalable with built-in optimizations: For example, based on some internal use case, Feathr can process billions of rows and PB scale data with built-in optimizations such as bloom filters and salted joins.

Rich support for point-in-time joins and aggregations: Feathr has high performant built-in operators designed for Feature Store, including time-based aggregation, sliding window joins, look-up features, all with point-in-time correctness.

Derived Features and centralized Feature Registry which encourage feature consumers to build features on existing features and encouraging feature reuse.

Happy to chat about it if anyone is interested in it!

Ask HN: Do Hackers Trust Keybase.io

Looking for a new experience, abroad, my company in my bag: where?
Guys,

I currently run a small consultancy firm in Switzerland. Business is doing well, almost routinely. But I am bored. I am now considering the idea of moving abroad but I have no idea where to.

Question: do you know any good resource that provides specific information for business owners willing to start abroad? I am looking for some sort of worldwide economic development index ranking, combined with some information on how easy it is move and start a business (VISAs, costs of living, conditions and costs for starting a new company, etc.)

Any ideas?

Ask HN: Has Real Estate Tech become more attractive for founders
A few years ago a post about "Why Real Estate Tech Is So Attractive For Founders" was very popular on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7070930 I think the general consensus then was that Real Estate Tech was not attractive to founders. I'm curious to know if people think it has become more attractive now with more money being poured into the sector.

Hello everyone! I built MeroChat as an alternative to the countless video/group chats out there. In a nutshell: text based, 1-on-1, and platonic interactions only.

It works like this: fill your profile as much as you want for conversation starters and let the site suggest you people to chat with. Suggestions cannot be filtered in any way, only skipped. As a form of moderation, some features are only available after a certain amount of karma has been earned.

Feedback is highly welcomed. You can try it without signing up by clicking on "I want to chat without an account" :)

Canal #moritz PTnet

Mobile First, Right Thumb Navigation
http://fsm.bdconf.com/blog/mobile-first-right-thumb-navigation
To be more thumb-friendly, why shouldn't we consider placing navigation on the right? Roughly 90 percent of the world is right-handed, so wouldn't this make more sense? The most easily swipeable area for righties resembles a rainbow starting from the bottom left arcing toward the top right of the screen. Below that rainbow is a thumb/palm blind spot, above that rainbow requires a user to shuffle the phone in the palm and a thumb extension to reach. The taller the screen, the larger that area above the rainbow becomes and hence more difficult to navigate. Even the smaller-screened phones such as the first-generation iPhone, have this less-reachable area.

New Google Maps is now rolling out to everyone's desktops
http://www.engadget.com/2014/02/19/google-maps-redesign-public-rollout/
Looks like Google is rolling this out to everyone. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the design, but that's entirely subjective on my part and I recognize that.

HOWEVER, what is not subjective is how slow it is and how often it causes my browser to hang (judging from the comments on this article, I'm not the only one who has experienced this...). Has anyone dug into it to see what it is that is causing this version of maps to be so resource-intensive?

How to protect your business network from spam and email viruses?
http://indoposting.com/index.php/internet/355-security/10214-how-to-protect-your-business-network-from-spam-and-email-viruses
Seven tips for securing your organization's network from spam and email viruses

Providing security against email related threats has become a burden for most IT professionals in 2006. According to a recent study by Postini, spam and email viruses now make up to 80% of all emails sent out as compared to 50% in 2000. As a result, IT professionals now face a tougher challenge in providing network security for this amount of spam. IT professionals also have the disadvantage of defending against new forms of email threats such as spam zombies, directory harvest attacks, mass mailing trojans, as well as the latest email virus.

Ten things I wish I knew earlier about the Linux command line P. 1
http://tuts.pinehead.tv/2012/09/11/ten-things-i-wish-i-knew-earlier-about-the-linux-command-line-p-1/
We all learn new things over time as we use applications with a vast amount of possibilities. Of course, some of those things would have been so useful if we had known them earlier. Here are 10 command line tricks that I wish I had learned much sooner.

Note: these tricks apply to bash, which is the default shell on most Linux systems. If you’re using a different shell, they may not work for you. If you don’t know which shell you have, it’s probably bash, so go ahead and try them!

Show HN: A Trust-DNS based dig alternative
https://github.com/bluejekyll/trust-dns/pull/1680
Hey, HN. I thought you might be interested in a tool I wrote over a few days. As part of a recent IETF hackathon event demonstrating dynamic DNS updates over a private and secure channel (DoT, DoH, DoQ) I needed something to demonstrate the that the software was capable of performing the tasks. This was relatively straightforward with the what I think of as excellent CLI capabilities in the Rust ecosystem with Clap, https://docs.rs/clap/latest/clap/. Anyway, I thought I'd share it with the HN community in case folks find it useful.

The tool is vaguely like `dig`, I called it `dns`. It's similar in that it allows a single DNS message to be sent and await a response. This is by no means as comprehensive as `dig`, yet, but might be suitable as a simpler and easier to use command. For example, issuing a DoH query can be done with:

`dns -p https -t cloudflare-dns.com -n 1.1.1.1:443 query www.example.com. SOA `

And similarly a dynamic update can be performed with:

`dns -p tls -n ${NS_IP}:853 -t ${CERT_NAME} -z example.com. create txt.example.com. TXT 60 HELLO_WORLD`

For auth I still need to wire up SIG0 and TSIG support, at least SIG0 should be easy enough. I'll try and find some time to do that when I have a moment.

Anyway, I'll try and respond if there are any questions in this thread today.

Thanks-

-Ben

Ask HN: Javascript Animated Icons Becoming Mainstream?
I've noticed more and more the use of animation of CSS, instead of gif icons. For example, on Google's Chrome OS page (http://www.google.com/chromeos/features.html), mousing over brings pretty animations done (almost) purely by rotating or swapping images.

Is it feasible to do this to your own website? Has anyone done it?

My startup pivot idea. Comments?
Hi, I recently posted a thread to gather pivot ideas for my startup (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1734466). I got many ideas, and I thank HN for being so helpful.

Given our less-than-satisfactory traction, we would be willing to try a rather major pivot. Do give your feedback on this idea:

1) Imagine an Addthis/ShareThis button, made specifically for ecommerce. Just a sharing button on your store/product pages.

2) Anytime a visitor shares to Facebook/Twitter and that share results in new visitors/leads coming in, the sharer gets a discount coupon as an incentive.

3) Alternatively, the sharer gets a (bigger) discount coupon only for sales made by their friends, not merely visits.

4) For either scenario, the technology provider gets a cut.

Would you want to use a system like that, say, if you are a retailer?
