Ask HN: Any open source tools for searching across services?
Hello HN

I’ve been looking for a tool that would let me and my team search across SaaS services we subscribe to.

For example, our team uses Google Drive, but teams we work with use Dropbox sometimes. Similarly with Github, Figment, Azure, Notion (some use Confluence) and a few other tools. It’s an absolute pain to curate (we’ve tried) and search for things across them.

We haven’t been able to find any commercial tools that fit the bill, and CTO insists that because we deal with sensitive data, a trusted/certified vendor (based on industry standards for data protection) is needed. No such vendors found.

I convinced him that an open-source tool, with a security audit (we have a great security team that routinely tracks down vulnerabilities in popular tools) is also passable.

I understand this would be very useful for a lot of people outside our company.

- If something like this exists, and someone here knows about it, please point me towards it. I’d be so grateful and will buy you a coffee.

- If a simpler version of this exists, I have approval to contribute to the project and possibly bring some more dedicated man hours from the company.

- If it does not exist, I’m also willing to help start/maintain such an open source project. We agree it’s worth pursuing. If you’re interested, please let me know in the comments or through email.
It does have an impressive record. 12 years is a good start, but not a long enough track record to prove much. I've been investing for nearly 40 years, and have had many with 12 good years go sour.
> because you don't like the results of a free and fair election

This is what you think but they do not. They believed that they were protecting the integrity of the elections.
Answer the question:

'Who would be President on Jan 20?' - if the vote to approve the electoral results on Jan 6th were not completed - or - if the results provided by the states were 'rejected' by a congressional vote.

?

Bonus points if you can tell us how the 20th Amendment clarifies that for us.

Also, irrespective of what the legal outcome might be, what would most US citizens actually believe? Would the losing faction have enough faith in the institutional decisions such that they do not revolt? After all, we just saw a fair election in which ~30% of the electorate 'do not believe' the results.

You do see the 20 000 soldiers out there for inauguration? Why do you suppose they are there?

Finally - here is some background material to help figure out who wins in the end [1]

Yea or what about a game where you had to find a tiny link on someone's personal website, which gave you a clue to find a different thing on someone else's personal website.
I know people have been trying to drum up interest in personal sites.

We used to do stuff like that with geocities guestbooks.
You don't really get a choice when you decide you're going to write a project in a language. Senior devs will be required to work in the same language as the junior devs.

Incorporating them into neighboring blocks can cause problems. The current approach does well at giving us local population density, even if it is zero in these cases. Merging all these blocks together would result in inaccurate numbers for density in many small rural towns as their land areas are artificially inflated.
Cool, thanks for the paper. It looks interesting from the abstract.
This is people failing to understand that the problem was parler promoting itself for and refusing to moderate calls for violence, not just that such content was present.

When did non-right-wing protesters invade a seat of government? When did they brandish guns while threatening political violence against politicians? When did they reject the results of an election? When did they invade a legislature trying to prevent normal government activities?

More importantly, compare the reactions: when that idiot in Portland started a fire in the street, did they get widespread support? Did pundits and politicians praise them? They faced rejection from local up to national officials: Biden condemned non-peaceful protests but Trump & his allies incited them.
SPOT ON. Of the few times I used it I hated it enough to just go use a regular grocery and some 3rd party shopper service.

Not especially. Government has largely predictable load, and hosting on third parties is eyewateringly expensive (only approved suppliers, who overcharge).

In jurisdictions I’m familiar with it would require (nearly impossible) reform of the bureaucracy to make it possible.
Protip: Copy the link of any blog post written ontop of the medium platform and send it to yourself as a dm over twitter.

Unlimited access to articles & acts as a nice repo of the things you read.

This works because twitter owns medium and uses a special link shortener afaik. I'm guessing there is also a 3rd party website that will do this for you.

It might be better for society to help the orderly shutdown and consolidation of those areas towards communities dense enough to have a functional local economy.

This would integrate well with new New Deal style programs where people are helped to migrate to jobs that enrich society and those working; and possibly recapture the former community areas as nature reserves or other non-housing lands.

On any given day there are over 400,000 kids in foster care, and each year more than 600,000 kids will be in care for some amount of time. https://www.acf.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/documents/cb/afc...
But when kids are adopted out of foster care, the majority will continue receiving some form of subsidy, including health insurance and often a monthly payment, so those kids are being covered by this spending as well.
This was just another experiment for Amazon. Shutting it down just means it didn't work out for whatever reason but they'll probably try a similar concept again with a few twists. There are so many 'businesses' under Amazon and many of them compete with each other. Often times this doesn't make sense to the end consumer but these are all just experiments being run to see what kinds of businesses might work.
Also learning a new language, that is in some way related to the stuff you already know, is way less of a time comittment.

The thing is, if you do the whole country through some uniform process, you don't get into an endless discussion about how you should do it - what's in and what's out? What is the appropriate size and shape of this block, and this one and this...

I think what matters is to distinguish between "free speech" and "free propaganda".

What we have today isn't a loss of "free speech", but a surge of "propaganda" by powerful actors and the government.

Really nothing here has to do with "free speech" and everything is about what should be done when people in power start exerting propaganda to reaffirm their rule over others?
Honestly, Apple should have given them the middle finger back then and not agreed to any terms. It was a bullshit complaint from a record label against a computer company. I doubt they went after Apple Roofing or Apple Autotech, or Apple Consulting. They saw a big company in the making and wanted their cut.
Haha. True! I knew about D, but I forgot about it[0]. (I also know extremely little about it.) ;w; I feel bad.

I think it was a product from a different era. When Prime Pantry launched, Amazon hadn't acquired Whole Foods, and they didn't have a story for last-mile delivery yet.

So they had to ship your order from a warehouse, and the only way to do that profitably on low-margin grocery items was to batch them up into a large order in a box of uniform dimensions.

The fact that they no longer need to do this speaks to how far Amazon's logistics have come over the last 7 years.

And if they can't resign because they're in a bad financial situation (self-inflicted or not)?
First, I'll say +1 to the other commenters here encouraging you to develop the idea on your own first before trying to bring in other people.

But let's say you're going to ignore all of that and still try to find a partner first. Your advertisement gives me zero confidence that you have an actual business here. Your idea is: a personal finance budgeting tool, but "fun and easy to use" and based on how you personally manage your finances. I have so many questions! And as a former Product Manager you should have answers:

• What specifically is wrong with existing personal finance tools on the market? What is the killer feature that makes yours better? Have you tried https://lunchmoney.app/ ?

• Let's see those wireframes! User journeys! Something! Right now I'm left with the assumption that you've sketched out some login dialogs and a transaction list but haven't thought beyond that.

• Where's your user research? If you're looking for a cofounder, that implies that you have a thing that needs to be built. Do you know what that thing is? Have you validated with real people that this is a real problem they have? How many user interviews have you done? Again, my assumption is that you've done none of this.

• What will be your role in the business? How do you propose that you earn your 50% of the equity? Remember that "idea guy" is worth nothing... you need to bring sales chops, key relationships / industry credibility, recruiting ability, investment money, or some combination thereof.

• If you've actually thought through this stuff and don't want to reveal your secrets, why not? No one is going to copy you (probably), and you'll get key insight into your market. Before you can ever sell this to a consumer you need to sell it to your early partners.

Finally, remember that some of the best cofounder partnerships work because the people involved have prior history working together professionally. Which of your former co-workers could you convince to quit their job and join you? If none of them, why not? What would you need to do to strengthen your pitch? Do that.

I feel like it would only be right for this kind of project to not "stoop" to background-removal, but instead do something more ridiclous by throwing even more ML at the problem:

1. classify the image

2. use word-net to figure out what "container" word is most closely associated with the image's classification

3. search the container word, and pull out its dominant colors

4. return the colors that are in the image but not in its classificatory container. Unless that set is empty (e.g. a polar bear in snow), in which case return the colors you'd have given without all these extra steps ;)

Climate change will have the opposite effect. Both worsening extreme and unexpected weather and the high carbon cost of geographically remote living will consolidate people to where the infrastructure is.
I took a quick look at campaign financing laws in some other countries (UK, Germany, Canada, and Japan) and it seemed that the U.S. was the exception in allowing trade unions and industry associations to give money to politicians, along with unrestricted corporate contributions to political causes.

What would be considered bribery in many other countries is still legal in the U.S.
> When people debate the merits of "on-prem" versus AWS on HN they rarely focus on the contract terms.

if this had been electricity or water, instead of AWS compute resources, the tune would've been different.

I think the gov't just need to catch up with regulation - that infrastructure/utility providers cannot terminate without cause in the same way that an electrical utility cannot terminate a premise of electricity abruptly and without cause.

It would be great if we had a marketplace of ideas. One where offering arsenic-laced produce got you booted from said market.

With respect to the fact of the existence of an agreement being confidential information, usually an NDA will only apply to information that has not already become public through no fault of either party.
I'm saying that the hospitals and insurers, while somewhat adversarial at times, are largely aligned in their incentives. Chargemaster prices can drift upwards while negotiated discount rates fall to compensate.

The hospital makes more margin off of people not covered by the insurer, the insurer is largely insulated from the change, and everybody comes away okay... except the uninsured patient who has no negotiating power.

Not to refute your point here, but I consider improvements in the way the language lets you express your thoughts is also very important. But, I get what you are saying.

Consider an extreme straw man example of roman numeral system winning over everything just because of the inertia. The decimal system is great innovation because, it gave us succinct way expressing idea of numbers.

Not all languages are like that, but certain languages allow and encourage certain style of programming like OOP for java, though it is a multi paradigm language. I think inertia plays a big role here too. Java is always going to be OOPy language for the most part, because it is what community is built on.

Most problems in trying to understanding and communicating is going to be about concepts not the language. The syntax is probably some work, but half a day of work. But, I often do not find it hard to read the code in some other language, I get it once I see the code. But, even after seeing some code, I find it hard to come with code in that language. Because, that is the hard part. jq is one such language. Even though it is niche. When after reading docs, I find it so hard to combine all the small parts of it to make sufficiently large program. That will take, however similar the syntax is.

That is the reason, some particular style of programming dominating a language community. We got settle on something. Language is geared towards solving problems and introducing features for certain style. And that helps. It gives a coherent outlook to language and the community.

That is what I mean when I say, fragmentation is inevitable. Not everybody wants to understand all different ways of doing things. Even if the concepts seem understandable, thinking in terms of them is much harder for people. Multiple language for different dominant style seems to be a saner alternative than single language with all the different style.
What is the right conviction rate?

Your article says that a study of every legal case since WWII found that it was due to prosecutors not trying uncertain cases, which would seem to be a good thing for the innocent.

There are criticisms about allegedly forced confessions and such, but that seems to be unrelated to the conviction rate itself.
They are trolling. Downvote and move on.
Yes you're right. I was using beta as a measure of the idiosyncratic volatility, which is incorrect. I concede that point.

Show HN: Svelte Weekly Newlsetter
If Donald Trump wasn't a pathetic coward, then the US was somewhere between 1 and 15 minutes away from a civil war on January 6.

It might've been a short civil war, but if Trump had gone out and marched with the protesters like they thought he would and told them to stay in the Capitol building, you would've immediately created a situation where government business is suspended and the commander in chief is at direct odds with the military's constitutional obligations.

There was, and has been, a soft coup ongoing since that day, since the president at the time refused to issue any direction to the military and situation only started to be resolved when Pence took defacto command of the executive without invoking the 25th amendment. That process has been ongoing since then.

> Engineers use reliable and predictable statistical process control methods to ensure mass produced parts work together under a well defined standard

Last year I took a job from a surprisingly big car manufacturer. They had designed and built a 2 million dollar glue dispensing machine. Only after it was fully assembled did they realize that they didn't have a way to get the glue into it. They needed it to be running the next week. Engineers run into bugs all the time, we just don't get convenient error messages.
As an analogy, how many clear cut bugs do you think are known and exist in a backlog at any given software company? Answer: a lot.

So the answer is, you want to win rather than heal political schisms. Which is a perfectly fine answer! But that's the approach the other side has taken also, and well here we are.

Politics isn't about rationality or facts or what one side thinks is "reasonable." Nobody approaches the Israel/Palestine conflict by asking "well who has the more rational argument here?" That would be silly. Politics is about power, and appeasing (or not) different factions.
Why would you put the burden of tech companies' failure to regulate themselves on the victims?

>That's a misnomer, what if they don't know you exist? That's what sales and marketing are for, to inform people that could benefit from your product that it exists, essentially.

This is a fiction that salespeople tell themselves to help them sleep at night. I use twitter not because someone from Twitter Sales sold it to me but because I sought it out of my own volition.

Only bad products need sales. Good products can thrive on marketing alone because people want good products.
They are throwing their money away, if I didn’t download the game the first thousand times I don’t know why they think the 1001st time is going to be different. Isn’t that supposed to be the promise of online advertising? Effective targeting? Yet day after day I get ads for homescapes (thousand times no), Harry Potter (nope), rheumatoid arthritis drugs (even trying to target?), cramps (you had 50/50 and you missed), and so on. They might as well be taking ads out in a newspaper (I should not encourage them).
Amazon Prime Now was intended to be same day delivery. Amazon Fresh usually wasn't.

AFAIK when you order whole foods, someone goes to the store and picks it up for you. They don't have nearly as accurate inventory tracking as Amazon Fresh/Prime Now do. If you order things from Prime Now, they will arrive guaranteed. (well, 90% guaranteed)
But whats weird is sometimes inventory would be different depending on if you were on the primenow website, or browsing amazon.com for same day or fresh. Sometimes prices were even different - like items would be on sale from primenow but full price on amazon.com.

I very much miss prime now restaurants though. It was the best, no extra fees or anything other than a tip.
