Ask HN: How to Showcase Favorite Hacker News URLs?
I have 75+ tabs open on my phone with my favorite HackerNews articles.

I want to move this to an extremely minimal website where I can keep a running list of all my favorite articles, and share it with my friends.

Any suggestions?

CSIRO megatrends report
http://www.csiro.au/resources/Our-Future-World.html
The five interrelated megatrends identified in the report are:

1. More from less. This relates to the world’s depleting natural resources and increasing demand for those resources through economic and population growth. Coming decades will see a focus on resource use efficiency.
2. A personal touch. Growth of the services sector of western economies is being followed by a second wave of innovation aimed at tailoring and targeting services.
3. Divergent demographics. The populations of OECD countries are ageing and experiencing lifestyle and diet related health problems. At the same time there are high fertility rates and problems of not enough food for millions in poor countries.
4. On the move. People are changing jobs and careers more often, moving house more often, commuting further to work and travelling around the world more often.
5. i World. Everything in the natural world will have a digital counterpart. Computing power and memory storage are improving rapidly. Many more devices are getting connected to the internet.
Make sure to code my site in HTML5
http://brolik.com/blog/make-sure-to-code-my-site-in-html5/
Everyone Knows It’s All About HTML5, Right?
The vast amount of information available on the Internet and the increasing tech-savvy of today’s business owners is fostering a new understanding of web design, application development, social media, and more. At Brolik, we love an informed consumer and really love an informed client. Recently, though, we’ve been getting asked a very interesting question and may have a surprising answer. I’ve heard other developers complain about the question, and I’ve heard business development folks explain the answer incorrectly. Do you know what it means to ask: “Can you please code my new website in HTML5?”
Show HN: Humanish AI – open-source Version of OpenAI
https://beta.humanish.ai
Chase here - our mission is to build an open source AI company focused on developing products for enterprises. The repo is at https://github.com/humanishai (please take a moment to star!) and our home page is https://beta.humanish.ai

After a decade of working at several labs and companies including NASA and Target, I originally quit my job to start a generative media company at YC. We didn’t manage to solve that problem, but we learned how hungry people are to use the biggest AI models.

However, when we signed up for access we were put on a waitlist, it bothered us how we needed to send our users data to third parties and get approval before launching our product. Waiting weeks or even months for access felt exclusive if we could get access at all to the big models, and it felt wrong from a privacy perspective. AI should be accessible to anyone. We designed Humanish AI to solve these problems.

We made Humanish AI with a set of features that can be extended easily. All of the code will be open source. And all of the models will be too. There is a Discord server where we will train models together with the Open Source community. We'll post on Twitter and Instagram. Anyone can help out training, adding features, or making suggestions on Github rather than being excluded. I am personally stoked to read every single one of your suggestions and reply myself!

You can have source code access to every part of the process from data collection and cleaning, to training and infrastructure, to backend and frontend, to challenger/champion deployment systems, and we are building a cloud version you can sign up for too. That means our plan is to have the best parts of the 3rd party deep learning model providers but are more privacy and developer friendly.

We’re thinking of adding features around many more modalities, so please let us know what you would find useful for an enterprise you know.

We are platform and language agnostic, with a very simple setup. If you want Python, we give you a library. For anything else, there’s a REST API you can signup for to get early access https://beta.humanish.ai The repos have instructions for AWS, Terraform, or Docker.

We’ve launched this repo under MIT license so any developer can use the tools. The goal is to not charge individual developers. We make money by charging a license fee for things like multiple users, user permissions, training or fine tuning custom models, providing a hosted version, support, and any new features or models an enterprise needs.

Give us suggestions for your enterprise: github.com/humanishai Leave a star! Is there something you want? Make a suggestion in Github discussions or make a PR and I'll personally merge it in. For any new paid feature, to help us out, or for investment reach out to sales at contact@humanish.ai

Notes on software development
Babies Hacking
So I'm a nascent hacker and father and the similarities between the two are, to me, astounding.

With both yesterday's crowning achievement is quickly lost to the gravity of today's task. The psychological ups and downs as well as the motivation and risk inherent in it just blows me away sometimes.

The craziest similarity I've seen to date is the potential each has to shake the world itself.

Just as any project could be the next google or facebook so to any child could be the next... You can fill in the blank.

What do you see, or think, about this analogy?
Show HN: High Browse, esoteric web search (alpha quality)
https://highbrow.se/
Hi HN,

I’ve been developing my own take on a web search engine for about six months.

I’ve crawled just a few pages each from about 10 million websites each at the moment, but only the most lightweight websites are included as of this moment.

I’m keen to hear what you make of this, and what you want to see next.

Cheers,

Why is nytimes.com allowed on HN?
Every day I see several posts for nytimes, and often they're not really HN material. But whats worse is that every article requires a subscription.

Why are non-free articles getting posted that most people wont be able to read? Or is it just something against me or firefox?

Learning How to Code Is A Waste Of Time
http://www.forbes.com/sites/tarabrown/2012/01/10/learning-how-to-code-is-a-waste-of-time/
Sure, it's super awesome that there are a ton more resources out there for people to learn to code, but without the fundamentals I'm not sure what's going to happen.

Codecademy has decided for 300k people they should learn JavaScript because they can build a game with it. People are heading into a black box without rhyme or reason as to what they are getting themselves into.

I don't see how this is any better than picking up a Dummies book. Let's add some more context to these "how to code" sites so that people don't get discouraged 1/4 of the way into learning.
Cloud Closures Remind Us of The Importance of Backups
http://blog.mover.io/cloud-closures-remind-us-of-the-importance-of-backups/
While the shutdown of Cloudee, Nirvanix, and FileRock caused some rumblings in the cloud this week and a subsequent storm online, there is somewhat of a silver lining. It is a valuable lesson to all about the importance of regularly scheduled backups.

Every industry experience ebbs and flows and though some cloud companies find themselves unable to compete, cloud storage is here to stay. This month Verizon reported that cloud utilization grew by 90 percent between January 2012 and June 2013, and that organizations are on average increasing their cloud budget by 45 percent per month. The same blog post indicates that only 38 percent of organizations report the use of cloud services today, with 80 percent planning on doing so over the next year. Credit to Arthur Cole for a great blog post.

While the cloud isn’t going anywhere, the signal created by these shutdowns should serve as a reminder of the importance of backing up your data. Many see the cloud as their primary back up option and while this can serve well for the most part, you can never be too safe with your data. And we're not just talking shutdowns. Outtages can happen from time to time and if you need your files RIGHT NOW - you could be out of luck.

Some options to better safeguard your data include cloud to cloud or cloud to premise (i.e., your home or office) backups. The beauty of backups is that they are simple, and once set - so are you. Backups are insurance against the unexpected. They’re your second chance. Your serenity while others scramble.

If you’re looking for a secure, convenient, and fast way to backup your data, we can help with that. Weekends are the perfect time for a backup schedule, as people are likely away from their desks.

Ask HN: How many servers does Twitter have?
Over the years we've gained an idea of the number of servers google along with some info on the number of datacenters. Facebook recently took on the project of building their own datacenter and previously released some numbers of servers. I have not however seen any numbers on twitter.

Does anyone know the number of servers twitter has?
Hacking Gmail for Privacy and Profit. My battle with Gmail drafts.

Ask HN: How to get a general tech background?
I have been in the IT industry for years as a non-technical, BA, PM and now manager. While I understand things at a really general level, I still struggle with basic technical knowledge gaps. What would be the best way to approach self-directed learning for overall IT development, from infrastructure/networking through basic programming languages and approaches through web technologies. Just something to have a comprehensive, if not super deep, understanding of the whole picture. Is it better to start from the foundations of infrastructure or move from understanding applications (object-oriented design, java..etc) and then onto how things work together?
CSS Animated 3D Greeting Card
http://markroland.com/portfolio/css-greeting-card
My wife has crafted beautiful handmade Christmas cards for the last 2 years. We would love to send them to all of our family and friends, but the supplies are expensive and they require a lot of time to make. I've seen nice animations of greeting cards on sites like punchbowl.com, but they are usually done in Flash, and we all know the problems with Flash, right? So I set out to make my own CSS-animated version.

100 Days of the Little Lisper
http://thelittlelisper.blogspot.com/2010/07/what-is-100-days-of-little-lisper.html
I remember reading that great book 'The Little LISPer' by Daniel Friedman. I really enjoyed it.

With the rise of lambda expressions in C# and soon in Java7, and other developments like the Clojure language - it seems that these ideas are back on the radar, even in the Enterprise space.

This guy is working through the 3rd Edition of book in solving the problems in Common LISP. He's even got twitter updates going on @thelittlelisper. It's be great to watch him finish it off.

Show HN: HNKindle.appspot.com, get Hacker News articles delivered to Kindle
http://hnkindle.appspot.com
While Hacker News is a great place for finding great links/articles, it cannot be subscribed to (unlike a blog). This makes it difficult to read this through devices like Kindle. So last weekend turned to be pretty productive for me trying to put the two together:

http://hnkindle.blogspot.com/

The application uses a specialized library (boilerpipe - http://code.google.com/p/boilerpipe/) for extracting just article contents from links. Also, HN has a lot of links showing up in the Top 30 moving up and down every single day. I have put in place a simple heuristic (which is explained in the app) to chose only the prominent. At the moment, the heuristic is quite arbitrary.

Your feedback is most welcome!

Ask HN: How to learn about Linux system internals?
Coming from reading a SRE job posting at Google i saw:

"Experience with algorithms and data structures and/or Unix/Linux systems internals (e.g., filesystems, system calls) and administration."

I have a good grasp of algorithms, at least to the extent that I could further my knowledge in this domain alone.

How would you suggest learning about Unix/Linux systems internals?

I was thinking of setting up a linux server and managing it, any suggestions for good places to start in regards to practical things i could do with it which would expose me to the internals?

Covid 19 Censorship on Medium
Aaron Ginn has written a thoughtful, well-researched piece on the spread of Covid 19:

https://medium.com/six-four-six-nine/evidence-over-hysteria-covid-19-1b767def5894

But as of 12:30 pm US central time / 5:30 pm UTC, Medium is returning a "410 This post is under investigation or was found in violation of the Medium Rules."

You can still read an earlier version of the post on Internet Archive, without pictures, unfortunately: https://web.archive.org/web/20200321144004/https://medium.com/six-four-six-nine/evidence-over-hysteria-covid-19-1b767def5894

Show HN: Minimal Static Site Generator
https://github.com/mivanit/pandoc-sitegen
`pandoc-sitegen` uses pandoc and mustache templating to turn a bunch of markdown files into a minimalist site, while still allowing for things like an automatic list of blog posts.

I was really frustrated with the complexity of most existing static site generators like Jekyll and Hugo -- it seemed like even a basic blog required an immense amount of configuration and provided tons of features I didn't need. I built this mostly for myself, but I'd love any feedback on it :)
Ask HN: What happens when bots flood NFT art markets?
I was reading this post today (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26285655) and the comments discussing how most of the Internet has been overrun by automated bots which clone source content (eg: a news article from Reuters) and then:
- Effortlessly tweak just enough of the verbs/nouns so as to avoid DMCAs (which take time/effort to dole out anyway)
- Can pad the content with auto-generated keyword-driven crap that outperforms SEO more than the original source ever could
- Can do this across thousands of sites at once, etc.

So now take NFT artworks, and marketplaces, etc. What's to stop bot networks start creating:

(1) Thousands of shady "shell" marketplaces that visually look, feel, and operate no differently from rarible.com, opensea.io, etc...
(2) Taking perfect source copies of artworks and generating billions of sales to unsuspecting users, and logging it all to the blockchain...

Now you've got perfectly "valid" sales and contracts all flooding this giant decentralized blockchain, causing utter mayhem not only for buyers but also the sellers, whose life is now bound by an endless ritual of finding fake marketplaces, fake sellers, sending out DMCAs, and constantly updating their social presences to say "Hey everyone, sales are only legit if they're bought from <MarketplaceA>!"

I feel like this is just one of a million outcomes from simple thought experiments on this and I'm wondering why there is seemingly zero discussion on it or just how hairy this is 100% going to get.

Is there a consensus starting to form? Am I getting it all wrong?

Ask HN: identifiying sketchy/regulated/illegal/high-risk business data
I am in the process of integrating credit card processing for merchants using our POS to run their store. My processor has stipulated as part of the underwriting process that we do due diligence to prevent fraud by analyzing data entered into our system to weed out prohibited business[0].

This is more complicated than just blacklisting e.g. "gun", because that will miss things like "O.F. Mossberg & Sons", which is a firearm manufacturer. While a lame blacklist will likely do the trick as far as passing due-diligence requirements, I'm interested in what the "right" solution looks like.

TL;DR — is there a service or library that matches input data against sketchy/regulated/illegal/risky businesses?
