Show HN: XPress Compress – Homebrew Compression Algorithm, Compressor/Extractor
My final project for undergrad used this service along with WiFi packets sniffed from coffee shops to show the privacy implications of leaving WiFi on in public.

Since phones/laptops send packets containing the SSID of saved networks it is possible to locate home/workplace of a device, assuming the networks at those locations have a somewhat unique SSID.

From that perspective, I'd say a common SSID is better to have than something unique.
Depends on what/why you need verification and if you want financial incentives. Forgive me for not taking the time to read into your product deeply. Sounds like you want a distributed DB. The blockchain part assumes you want shared verification via work and give people a reason to stay around and keep it shared. Blockchains just seem to be the distributed DB du jour these days to solve consensus. So I'd say sure, you can use a blockchain as your distributed DB, or you can use another distributed DB (if you can find a decent one) and add simple author verification. But no reason to automatically assume blockchain is the best distributed DB for your use case unless financials are at the core of the product. Hell, for "millions" you could just pin a bunch of data to IPFS signed by the authors.

Discovery/search is a whole other problem that blockchains don't help with either, and is not really an easily decentralized problem in current tech.
There's a Vice article link elsewhere in the comments, and at the end of the linked post, that explains what it is and why it mattered.
This is being a bit too "edgy" for me. Not to defend Forrest Gump as an all-time great or anything, but is there really something wrong or unsavory about its conception?

What you call "exploiting a demographic" is more like "having a target audience instead of trying to be all things to all people". Sure, Boomers are a huge generation. But they were entering their 50's when Forrest Gump came out... and studios usually aim at 18-34 year olds because that's who spends the most time and disposable income at the movies.

What you call "Spielberging" is probably just a combination of cinematography, soundtrack, and accessibility over hipster snob appeal. In other words, good mass-market filmmaking.

Maybe this particular movie isn't your cup of tea, but there's nothing negative or cynical about this. "Cynical" would be hijacking HN threads to bring up urban walkability, UBI, random potshots at Baby Boomers, or any of the other standard hot buttons that typically guarantee upvotes and validation.

Half an hour? All I can think of is: “git is a command-line program to manage source code. GitHub is a graphical user interface that builds on top of git, and adds some features like issue tracking. We installed git on our server. This is were we host our private source code. GitHub is the place where we host our open-source source code.”
I have no knowledge of this issue, but there seems to be more background here: http://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic/t174687/SleepyHead-Project...

You'll have to make your device use the server, so I think you'll at least have to add it to the front of the list.
First pass at website:

1. the main paragraph on the first page "what if anyone in the world..." describes a problem that not many people have, and I suspect fewer have identified. You're targeting content creators, but, it is unclear if you are a) hosting the content b)helping me monetize it c)tracking content usage d) all/some of that? I suggest you break it up into specific answers to those questions.

2. is this really like an "open source DRM"? As in, this can be used to track the hashes of digital content across other platforms to track who reads them, where they get viewed etc? I don't think so, but I can't quite tell.

3. why bother with tokens? it is far from clear what purpose they will serve? Gamification? use for payments? Tokens with economic value have exchange problems, consider whether it's really worth that, or do you just want to have transaction blocks that keep track of content?

My advice: consider whether the system you've build could work for a more limited use case like Enterprise Content Management, or provide an authoritative content/governance layer on top of one company's content. Can you manage versioning? Access control / retrieval? Or really just pointers? if pointers is all, then can you offer a way to integrated many different datasources, into a single way to deduplicate/manage/report on individual content items across an enterprise?
A while back I started to think about something like gan.tv (it's an owned domain I see) for computer generated entertainment. This cat one and the person one would be example channels. I assume we're going to get pretty creative with how we use automated creativity in the near future.
Ask HN: Anyone Else Use Legacy HTML Gmail as Their Default?
Because Inbox by Gmail shuts down in a few weeks I just tried switching back to the regular gmail.com and have discovered it has gotten so slow while I've been away that it's unusable. I can't even hover over a message and select it without waiting for a lag. I found HN threads musing about using HTML legacy, which seemed crazy but I was desperate so I tried it and it has stuck

Now I use Legacy HTML Gmail as my default, I've bookmarked the search result "category:primary" to replicate the must-have filtering that the main gmail uses to shift junk into tabs that you don't have to click on. I've also started clearing my inbox on my phone even when I'm sitting in front of my computer.

Am I nuts or are others seriously using Legacy HTML Gmail as their desktop default?
This is part of an ongoing series where I'm documenting everything I'm learning as I create a heads-up display on my Raspberry Pi. Because I was using the Pi as a server before, I didn't want to install a full desktop environment just for one application. This in turn has taken me down a path of learning more about building lightweight applications, and I wanted to share what I've learned with others.

Note: I've been publishing to Medium and mirroring on my own blog until I get the styling on my blog worked out. I know folks on HN aren't big fans of Medium, so I submitted the version on my blog.

In this story, it was only lower-level engineers that took a stand for user privacy. It was them against everyone above them at Amazon. Doesn't sound like Amazon-the-company deserves credit.

Update to clarify reasons for this characterization: Parent used the words "refused" and "insisted," which strongly suggest conflict between the pro-privacy engineers and others at Amazon involved in the project. And "so that no future engineering team could decide to stealth 'unmute'" suggests a lack of trust in long-term company management. Nothing in this story supports the later statement that "Privacy of customer data is considered the most important thing to Amazon."

Evolution didn't do anything to help my body accommodate that. All I get is back/neck pain, short hamstrings, hampered digestion and a shitty posture.

Sure I still need to sleep and eat, but that's about it. We're talking million of years of slow and incremental changes dictated by environmental constraints VS 200 years of exponential technological almost entirely tweaked for convenience.

Look at obesity, diabetes, back pain epidemics ... clearly most people diets / lifestyles are not matching what evolution engineered them for.

> Per your example we still need a community with strong bonds, a diet of lean proteins and greens, and a dusk till dawn sleeping pattern to function optimally.

To "function optimally" yes, but even without that you can live very long, reproduce &c. A few thousands of years ago you'd just die.
So... in the time in the US where both sides are yelling at each other about being special snowflakes, we have the largest snowflake ever observed just floating by. What a weird coincidence and what a time to be alive!

Thank god! some of those were monsteras.
What I have come to believe is the "Tragedy of Systemd" - and if I am wrong on this, please let me know - is that it was a virtually unilateral decision to make the change, by one person, without any input from others.

It was like all at one shot - here's this huge and largely non-transparent init system created by seemingly one person who it felt like was shoving it down everyone's throat. My way or the highway style.

That, on top of what felt/feels like a lack of transparency about how it works (I could look at init scripts and understand them fairly easily and how they worked together - systemd seems almost a mystery to me; I just have to trust it works - so far so good I guess).

Maybe I am wrong on all of this - again, if I am (and there's a good chance I am I feel) - please let me know.

Discovery is definitely hard. We've created https://github.com/lbryio/chainquery which parses the blockchain and pumps it into a SQL db for better searching.

The favorite pool I have ever been in had bromine instead of chlorine. The water was so silky and velvety and didn't sting at all. Totally different experience.

It was in Hot Springs, Arkansas and the specific chemistry of the water there made it where they couldn't use chlorination due to interactions with the unique water there. I wish all pools were brominated.

It was in the neat pool on the side of a hill here-

>Unlike chloramines, bromamines are disinfectants with activity that rivals that of either free chlorine or free bromine. In addition, bromamines do not produce the noxious odors and associated eye and skin irritation attributed to chloramines.

I don't understand what is supposed to make an insight "obvious". Well, I do, but only in that obviousness is a property of the relationship between an individual and an idea, not a property of the idea itself. There are many ideas that were once novel to me that are now obvious insights. Conversely, there are many ideas that were once obvious to me that experience has since contraindicated. With that personal definition of "obvious", reading this article was a little bit of a bizarre experience.
Hello, Totemic (YC S17)
> As soon as you have lots of reductions, etc. where threads will wait a CPU will also be a much better choice.

Two things:

1. Reductions have been implemented efficiently on GPUs for a while now. See this implementation of Parallel Prefix Scan https://developer.nvidia.com/gpugems/GPUGems3/gpugems3_ch39....

That right there is your standard "reduce" algorithm on a GPU. Its work-efficient and utilization of the GPU remains very high.

2. GPUs have a ridiculously efficient "barrier" instruction. In fact, GPU "Barriers" are implemented at the assembly level on GPUs. Thread synchronization is actually very, very, very cheap on GPUs. In fact, if your workgroup matches the wavefront / warp of the underlying GPU, then a barrier is simply a NOP: as cheap as it gets.

The main issue with GPUs is that they are a bit mysterious right now. Not a lot of people program them. But the more I work with them, the more I realize how flexible and fast their synchronization tools are.

But from a company's perspective, isn't that 23% the only number that matters?

The point of the study (and I have some issues with it too) is that the 23% could be 30% if you dealt with the toxic employee, or at the very least 23% is still doable without them, even though it seems like it isn't because they're better than average.
Right, that's a single company's management system, but our economic system selects for best companies == groups of people. So, no, the point was completely wrong.
I'd support this, though I do consider myself a responsible herbicide user. I use only spot application of glyphosate (on dry, sunny days) to help tackle invasive species, or to prepare lawn for conversion to native prairie instead.

Where I see the big problem is the standard practice of treating entire lawns with fertilizer and pesticide mixes. It's such a strange practice to me.
"Punchtop is an audio game"

No, it is not: it is a drinking game (as the Wikipedia page linked by the author clearly states). Music is only incidentally used to mark the passing of time: a timer works just as well.

St Pete is bike/pedestrian friendly relative to other parts of Florida, and I think it's getting better. I actually think that is one reason why the area has been growing so much over the past decade. There is actually a bike trail [1], which was made by paving over an old railway track. I used to take that trail to bike to downtown, and it was extremely safe.

In contrast, I now live in a newer FL city on the Space Coast that is currently booming. Seeing all of the car-friendly development makes me cringe. Nothing is in walking distance. Traffic is terrible. A man backed into me at a stoplight. I have to take a shuttle from my company's parking lot to my building because we have to accommodate so many vehicles, despite the fact that many employees live within an acceptable biking distance.

They also address that in their response. It stems from the fact that they use memory-managed programming environments, so they don't have that level of control over memory.

What domain or discipline (specifically undergraduate major) does infosec fall under if not electrical engineering or computer science?
I vaguely remember this being a plot point in an episode of 'The Adventures of Pete and Pete'†. I'm sure there are plenty of chemists that have valiantly attempted to find something that could both stay stable in UV-blasted chlorinated water and react with a weak acid to give an absorption in the visible wavelength. . .but that is a very long and hard-to-fulfill wishlist.

Anyway, it's just any sort of amine reacting with chlorine that produces the chloramines that irritate your eyes. Even if nobody urinated in the pool, the sweat people produce would still be able to cause it. Obviously it wouldn't deplete chlorine as quickly, but it isn't that irritation only comes from urine alone.

Further, I'm more worried by this:

Is it unhelpful, or just different? In the case of systemd, isn't it logging all the errors in the journal so you can see prior occasions it had a problem and errored? What is the error output in the jouirnal? Is it better, worse, or the same?

Systemd makes the process two steps, which you think is worse, but you've failed to address whether the possible benefits of those two steps (error retention, possibly more or different levels of error reporting) have been taken advantage of, and how that looks.

There's a difference between something being worse and just different. So far all I've seen is different, and possibly worse, but you've left out the information that would be required to determine that.

The only reason it is even 'illicit' is Apple arbitrarily determines what may or may run on iOS. It's not illicit when PC software does something Microsoft doesn't like.
