I made a tool that can help traders (in cryptocurrency markets) automate their TA based strategies. I am not sure what you consider popular, since this project is definitely in a niche space (so reach is limited). I used to post it here and there, but since it's an open source hobby project I don't feel the need to go out of my way to let new people know about it.

1. I started the project to learn more about automated trading and cryptocurrency markets, and working on it to this day still scratches that itch.

2. Searching Github, Google and Reddit I guess.

3. I used to be quite active on an online forum that was basically the full community (bitcointalk).

4. I do think so yes, it depends on why you are doing open source.

The project is: https://gekko.wizb.it/
My company uses Kinesis for stream consumption, but everything is stored in both Redshift and Glacier (we expire redshift data after a year or two but Glacier is kept forever). This is our canonical data store.

Smaller subsets of events are kept in Redshift/Postgres/MongoDB databases, depending on the purpose and how they'll be queried. These keep anywhere from 48 hours to 6 months of data depending on the purpose, sometimes it's just the raw events filtered in a certain way, and sometimes a projection based on those events. Either way, if we catch a bug in our logic we can re-run it for the past year of data or whatever.

Plus everyone who worked at those closed stores is now out of a job.
Yes; thanks for pointing that out. A small blind spot since I've been following the story, you're 100% right.
Do you foresee middlemen like Amazon eventually going away, or being even more essential?
Spot on. Taxes have been missing from this entire HN discussion. A primary reason for investing directly in real estate (even in a syndication as a passive investor) is to get the tax benefits. For example, with the "eREITS" from fundrise mentioned above, these are just like public non-traded REITS (ie no depreciation, interest deduction, or 1031 exchange).

Often with a strong commercial real estate project you can show taxable losses but still get positive cash flow. Why? Because of generous IRS depreciation treatment of the improvements. Then, when you get to the end of the investment and you can sell it, you can just defer the capital gains taxes indefinitely by using a 1031 exchange. This can be done until you die, when your heirs will get your property with a "Stepped up basis", effectively eliminating the capital gains tax altogether.

You can't get this with REITS. Doesn't matter if they are publicly traded, non-traded, private, or the new fad eREITS.
I started a forum by creating a bunch of accounts, talking to myself, and pampering my first users with my menagerie accounts to make the community seem like a small charming group even though it was just me.

I was 17, my forum eventually took off, but I don't think I'll ever have the energy for that again.
That's an awful lot of bold claims without any supporting evidence or logical analysis.

Why do you think the 12% stake is a loan?

Why are you so sure no smart investment company would have a genuine long term interest in Snap?

Why will younger people grow out of it in the next 5-7 years? And if it's going to take 5-7 years, why would the stock be under $10 (keeping in mind it's $12.64 right now) in the next 6-8 months?
A tax on earnings? Do you mean revenue?

I think that's a bit insane and lot's of business wouldn't be able to survive. If I buy something for $100 and sell it for $110 I now have to pay tax on the $110 amount rather then the $10 amount, increasing my tax tremendously.

For businesses with lot's of inventory that would be murder.
Everybody wants to live in a country with a reasonably low Gini index. The disagreement is only about what "reasonably low" means and how to achieve it.
I know all you alpha-nerds just never want to leave the house and could live in a 20foot square cube and sit on the toilet with your laptop while only consuming auto-delivered soylent and a caffeine IV drip for all you care, but let me help you all out with a little in understanding this retail thing:

Retail is mostly about entertainment now, primarily for women. Women like to shop for clothes and try stuff on. They like to be taken out to restaurants and movies and go to these with their friends. They like to go see their personal trainer at the gym. They like to go and get their hair and nails done and gossip. They send their kids to the math tutor. They send their littler kid to gymboree. They have a coffee at Starbucks.

If you look at some of the retail REITs and listen to their conference calls, a lot of stores are going out, but a lot are going in. Things are definitely changing to be more service and health oriented and the Big Box and Mega Mall trend is certainly over. The smaller format residential and mixed use stuff is going to be fine because they are more about services and entertainment as opposed to merely transactional delivery of mass market goods. People still want to leave the house and go somewhere.
Fair point but this function grants them immoral control of both ends of the market.

Often they lie to producers to lower prices then lie to consumers by selling these deal at the usual rate (or faking a false discount week for appearances and then put back products back on the normal shelves).

As other said, economic and information asymmetry is not good.

Honestly .. aggregators should be a national thing, there's almost no competition to be had there. Kinda like internet, it should be way more neutral, except maybe on safety check (again, something to nationalize).

Something of an aide from the main thrust of your argument:

> Orchestral musicians fit

My friend who was in the Boston Pops disagrees - the pay was crap (he had to provide music lessons on the side to maintain a reasonable income), the pressure was humongous, and their off-hours practice to keep at the top of their game puts our own hobby programming efforts to shame. Like video games, all musicians want to perform in the big orchestras, creating a highly competitive supply glut.

I'm also fairly certain that most mathematicians and philosophers come nowhere near to our power distribution curve.

That leaves us in the company of bankers, lawyers, and surgeons. Not the highest prestige group of people to exist alongside. Especially since, while well off, we're making nowhere near their "Fuck You" levels of money.
-2 points. Struck a nerve with someone.
How does it compare to Hydra/Dex? What I'm missing is a page that tells me where it sits in the ecosystem. A versus page if you will.
Do you know if self-hosting has any kind of impact on SEO?
> There is no 'correct one'.

Bitcoin Cash and segwit 2x have a major difference: in bitcoin cash there is replay protection (purposefully) and in segwit 2x there is not (also purposefully). Because segwit 2x is a meant to be a hard that kills the other chain off, there IS a correct chain - the chain with the highest proof of work. This is explained in the original bitcoin white paper.

Miners are signalling with an overwhelming majority that segwit 2x will be the chain with the most hash power / proof of work behind it, and because there is no change to the transaction formats, if it gains the majority of hash power, it is considered the valid continuation of the bitcoin blockchain.

I don't know if it's popular, but last year we released PullToRefresh.js[1]

1) We started it because other options out there required to change the whole structure for our site, so the focus with ptr.js was to make it as easy as possible.

2) + 3) The initial traction was on HN of course, but from there we got a mention on a few major twitter accounts, tympanus and a lot of development blogs.

4) I believe yes, it's unfair. You've put quite some time on creating a thing just to be ignored by the world because it's not clear enough what it does (there are a lot of OSS out there that doesn't have a demo link, it's hard to find, or the description is not clear enough). You should spend a few hours on the presentation; it doesn't need to be visually awesome (altough it helps), just think what would it be like if you stumbled upon this project and you knew nothing. What would you like to know? Where to check it without downloading? If it's not possible to demo it online, a gif or video might help.

But it could be a one off. That is, someone was born with a mutation that gave them amazing levels of visual acuity, but didn't pass on that trait to children.
The charts are over a decade, wouldn’t be surprising if North Dakota could be explained by the oil boom that happened there. No idea about Utah...
200 unique items is just a basic house. You are forgetting all the essential products used to operate said house as well as all the family members inside, plus pets. 200 is average.
Thanks for the comment! That would be ideal and it has crossed my mind but I have given little thought on how to do de-duplication right (premature optimization from a maker's perspective). Right now each page and its assets sit within it's own "bucket". But yes page assets and all these dependencies can really add up fast.
We didn't use Redis Streams, but NuGet.org is built on this concept. NuGet.org is the public repository for NuGet, the .NET package manager.

We have a public unified log (JSON blobs, behind a CDN) containing all events about package publishes, edits, and deletes. The rest of our endpoints have background jobs reading this log and updating different "views" of the package data. Each event's unique ID is a timestamp of when it was added to the log, much like Redis Streams.

We have found this is a powerful concept which has helped us build a very reliable infrastructure where almost all public endpoints are static JSON blobs served by a CDN. The only compute we need for customer API calls is a search service.

We hope one day that our unified log (called the "catalog") will be used for custom client needs and for package replication (e.g. corporations behind a firewall that can't talk to NuGet.org directly).

Progress, at least under capitalism, enables(or pushes) more and more people to do stuff that is less and less necessary, because junk is growth and growth is what's capitalism aimed at.
This is going to be brutal over the coming decade. "The most recent government statistics show that salespeople and cashiers in the industry total 8 million." Contrast that with 70k coal workers. Imagine the devastation in the coal belt spreading to suburbs all over mid America.
I'm not saying this article is wrong. I do find it interesting that it is posted just before most retailers post their quarterly earnings reports, while the sector is already severely battered with huge short volume.
This would be true only if China, et al, just took the jobs and did them the same. But Asia is not just known for their cheap labour, they are really really good at running factories and manufacturing products.

If their only value prop was cheap labour then manufacturing could easily have flourished in plenty of other countries with cheap labour (eastern europe, latin america, africa?). And plenty are geographically closer and have more similar language/culture to the western markets than Asia. But there is more to it, Asian countries have a talent for it and have mastered manufacturing and related industries like steel production.

I doubt any American factories could legitimately compete with Asia, even if the wages were the same, without some heavy-duty automation. And Asia has many other advantages around vertical integration of factories, such as access to raw materials, from there and other countries they've developed relationships with.

Now it's possible these advantages are just a side-effect of the fact the industry residing in Asia in recent decades but I believe there's far more to it, even regardless of the wage advantages, they are very much deserving of that industry.
Exactly. If you raise taxes on graduate students, regardless of how precisely the money gets shuffled around, the net result is going to be less money available for research and the necessary labor, and therefore lower research productivity. This tax increase is really a back-door way of cutting federal investment in research (and training researchers).

Historically, public markets have also provided a platform for important non-commercial informal civic interactions. The review section of e.g. Amazon doesn't seem to cut it.

Malls hold no interest for me whatsoever. There's nothing there worthwhile, other than employment. Malls have nothing: no libraries, no Good Cafes, no places to hang out, no parks, no museums, no zoos, limited live music, no outdoors. And the few things it does have: like some book stores and places to eat, are all engineered to get you in and out and back to the Mall's singular focus: Spend, spend, spend: shop till you drop mentality.

However, I do feel bad for the people that will lose their jobs over it.

Let's make towns have downtowns, with beautiful brick roads, scenic ponds with some ducks, perhaps a waterfall, some nice cafes, a lawn with benches, some parks, some nature, trees, live music, a library and museums. It's okay to have some retails stores sprinkled around here and there, as long as they're original, and not those mass market plastic selling behemoaths we see everywhere.

Imagine how much simpler a commercial charging station is than a gas station. You already need electricity for a gas station, but you no longer need to send tanker trucks out to fill tanks and technicians to maintain all the mechanical pumps, or even the auditors who make sure that the pump is measuring gallons correctly.

It will be really easy to enable long distance travel for EV's that can DC fast charge. Charging for your home area is covered by wherever you park it.

Seems like a gas station death spiral is inevitable, once there is a solid travel network in place and ample 200 mile range EV's available.
> Communist 'thewire' is your source that too for when there is official clarifications?

The value of your comment dropped with this statement. Calling something or someone as “communist” and using it as a derogatory term in an unrelated context is inappropriate, IMO.
You fake it until you make it, that is how reddit got started.
The repeated charts all the same size makes it a "small multiple" [1]. Laying them out in a meaningful spatial way is a brilliant idea. I don't know if there's a name for that.

Google used to provide rare value: large scale of organization of information. They also philanthropically raised standards f the web: way better mail service, map service.
Using similar calculations, we figured it at about $2k for our roadtrip last summer, so sounds right.

However, flying:

$550 after taxes and fees is the cheapest I've gotten an LAX/IAD roundtrip for in a while, so $3300 minimum for flying.

Parking for 3 weeks is about $200

$3500 is the flying price, and often I can't get tickets for under $600 that match our schedule.

Depending on the 405, it can take 3 hours to reach LAX and park. You really don't want to have to be running through the airport with little ones, so plan to be there 90 minutes before flight. It usually only 4 hours in the air going west-to-east (east-to-west is longer) but figure time sitting at the gate an taxiing means a minimum of 5 hours on the airplane. So nearly 10 hours of travel time.

Issues with flying that were non-issue in car:

We cannot change our schedule even by a few hours without incurring fees with the airline.

LAX/IAD, plus price sensitivity means almost certainly flying United. I'm not paying the economy plus price times six, so my knees are touching the seat in front of me the entire time.

We had a 20 month old, already nervous from flying for the first time fall asleep on the taxi-way with her seatbelt on, resting her head on my wife's lap. The flight attendent insisted she must be sitting up for takeoff. Said child was screaming for the next 90 minutes from being woken up.

kid potty training? Not while flying, since the fasten seatbelt sign always goes on at the most inopportune times.

It's true that none of these were enough to get us to stop flying (having a kid with PTSD was what did that; you don't want to be locked in a box with 200 strangers when he gets triggered), but it was surprising how much less stressful it was even compared to flying before we had him.

Perhaps cross-country will still be niche, but certainly day-long road trips will jump in popularity when nobody has to do the driving.
I think you might be refering to the changes in object colors due to ambient light. A gray object outside probably has a dark blue shadow. This can apply somewhat to typography, as the color you choose for type should be related to the colors around it.
I was thinking of going with some out-of-the-box hardware to do it but like you said, there's no greater control over a system than building it yourself.

Looks like I'll be buying parts and building my own equipment soon.
These transportation companies will be able to order modules of various sizes — short ones, medium ones, long ones, even pickup modules. But the performance will be the same for all because nobody will be passing anybody else on the highway. That is the death knell for companies such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. That kind of performance is not going to count anymore.

If he's right, kill me now. I really don't want to live in that world.
Just FYI: it’s trådfri, which is a (quirky?) way of writing “wireless” in Swedish.
Not that its computationally hard to say is this a naked person (#notahotdog from silicon valley). It's more along the lines of show me all naked pictures of ME on the internet, is probably more computationally hard.
My daughter prefers to pick her toys out in person. For everything else, Walmart Pickup is fine (order the day before, order is brought to the car when you arrive).
Oh, absolutely. It seemed that I would have to say goodbye to Tab Center with 57 and was very unhappy with it, but thankfully it turned out that I was able to make it even better than before. userChrome.css rocks :)

For reddit, all the content was submitted by Steve and Alexis at first, then they got a couple of friends to start submitting.

To make submitting for themselves easier, Steve made a special submit page that would also create an account at the same time, and then make the submission from that account.

After a while they noticed people they didn't know were submitting, and then PG mentioned them in an essay and things started taking off.

They knew they had something the first day they didn't have to submit anything.
tl;dr: The opposite of New York.

I grew up in a town with a high per capita income, but fairly low inequality. There were a few tiny religious and Montessori schools, but pretty much everyone's kids went to the public schools. Home prices probably varied by a factor of 10 or 20; there were both crappy old duplexes and McMansions, but no genuine slums or palaces with car elevators. No one commuted by helicopter. The richest and poorest had shared interests.
In Norway, Finland and Sweden that is going to be quite a bit more than 30 miles for lots of people.
Another obvious attraction of capsules would be the potential to recognize, tune, and maybe even manually introduce labeled concepts in nets during training -- perhaps enabling one shot learning?

This is not obvious to me at all. Can you please explain?
I've worked at Kohls and JC Penney, and anyone with half a brain who has worked in an entrenched retail chain has seen this writing on the wall for many years. Clothing from these stores are generally out of touch with modern trends. They can't keep up.
