Hello Friends,

We want to share the project we are building for over a year now. Try: https://ai.nocodez.com/

Why we decided to build NoCodeZ:
We talked to many product builders. They said that it is hard to convert ideas into complete products without a strong technical team, especially when you want both web and native mobile apps (for iOS and Android). We built NoCodeZ to solve this problem.

Our Mission: To help you go from idea to app – quickly, no coding, no technical knowledge needed. We use the power of AI, NLU and Automation on an MEVN stack to achieve this.

What you do:
• Write a business story about your idea.
Describe the story with who (users) is involved & how they interact.
• Go through details about what the user sees in the app, and what the app does when the user interacts with it.

What you get:
• A web app deployed in our cloud
• Mobile apps - Native IOS (in swift) and native Android (in Java)
• Deployed backend infrastructure (server, databases, scaling, etc)
• Complete test scripts (positive and negative test cases).
• App management portal to manage users (provisioning & control)

Answers to FAQ:
Yes, you get Apple AppStore and Android Play Store ready apps.
Yes, you can connect your datasets to the app.
Yes, you can connect APIs to the app.
Yes, you can automate system tasks in the app.
Yes, you can change the look-feel of the output app (may take more work)
Yes, you can control data access by user type or role.
Yes, you can create login with google, or other SAML based tokens.
Yes, you can enable 2FA for user logins for added security.
Yes, large complex enterprise apps can be built, they take more time (like 1 month).
Yes, simple apps can be built in one or two sittings.
Yes, you can make changes to the app after you build it.
Yes, you can expand the app, at a later point in time.

please tell me what you think! info@nocodez.com.

I suspect the point of contention here is that people expect their unsubstantiated nonsense to be taken seriously, treated with respect, and accepted by the general public.
Any non-native English speakers feeling like: So is that why we need to suffer a lingua franca that does not map 1:1 spoken and written?

This must be the world's largest tech debt. :)))
Btw. I have a friend who likes fast reckless driving. Now we could yell about it or just except that some people like to drive with no regards to theirs and others safety and not punish them for it and maybe even pay fines for them?
The Dex array programming language
These are two great examples of just how thin and self-serving the counter-arguments to crypto being an energy hog are. I'll save you some time...

The premise of the first article is that the carbon footprint of fiat currency needs to include the impact of an endless cycle of debt, inflation, recessions, and wars that fiat currency enables. Regardless of whether or not that cycle is true and driven by fiat currency is one thing... assuming that cycle would end if we could flip over to crypto is solidly ridiculous.

The second article talks about the fact that 75% of miners use renewable energy. Dig a level deeper into the source they cite and you see that it's 75% of miners who use renewable energy as a part of their "energy mix" (LOL) - and that it's more like 39% of the energy used in mining is renewable. They go on to talk about Great American Mining's efforts to mine using captured methane emissions from oil & gas production. It's an intriguing concept but it's literally in its infancy, and the source they are focused on looks like it accounts for less than 1/3 of methane emissions - https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/overview-greenhouse-gases#m...

The fact that the reasoning is so very thin in both of these examples tells me everything I need to know. People just want a headline to point to.
Does sharing a NYT article mean "look at this article I believe to be true" or does it mean "look what the NYT said"?
I’m responding to the assertion generally. The format of ISA financing has become more sophisticated over time, but the fact that our interests are entirely aligned with our students has never changed.

If I take out a car loan for $20,000 I have not been paid $20,000.

I have never lied about this. Not once. My words are taken out of context to try to make it seem like I lied, but I did not.
As the article clearly mentions Manhattan as the location of the school, it can be deduced that the country is the U.S.

As for the population ratios in the U.S, a short internet search tells me that there are estimated to be 330 million people living in the U.S as of 2020, of whom it is estimated that 46.8 million are african americans and 60 million are hispanic. That comes down to 14.18% and 18.18% respectively.

So given some margin for error, and accounting for other minority groups, only 1 in 3 would be of another skin colour than white in the U.S.
I did. But unless you think the act is vindictive and specifically intended to punish, the analogy to a protection racket doesn’t make a lot of sense.
Is the government itself granted first amendment protections as an association of citizens?

Or is it thought of a fundamentally different sort of entity, that yes can enter some sorts of legal arrangements, but isn't granted all the rights of a citizen?
I doubt they are inflating them and it's trivial to check by going on both CB and Binance, looking at the order books and executing a few orders against them.
Reading stories like this makes me wish I had no morals and were willing to scam people for personal gain. I wish these scammers would get punished instead.
As I mentioned in a different comment, maybe it depends on the region, with many of my friends who post being from East Africa. Would you mind sharing in which part of the world are most of your WhatsApp contacts living?
You're agreeing with me and the grandparent comment.
Then why don't we all use gold as payment?
You're having a difficult time grasping what debt and credit is.

It's not a negative thing, it's a positive thing.

Advanced economies run on credit, not cash and it's a matter of allocating services and resources more efficiently based on need, and of course, being able to plan ahead for outcomes.

Nations that don't have a functioning financial and credit system will not be wealthy, it's just that simple.

Here is a YouTube by Ray Dalio where he explains what credit is, and how it functions in the economy. [1]

PoS is yet to be proven, I'm really hoping eth2 shows that it actually works, because the other ones with PoS aren't that heavily used or tested in adversarial ways.

When it comes to money and value, the utmost important thing is security, that's the tradeoff that Bitcoin makes and that's what people are buying into. Everything else is secondary.
Hey Great comments! Thanks a lot. They certainly help to get a better understanding of how the type system actually work under the hood :)
> Factory farming is accelerating the rise of superbugs

Downvotes don't change facts. The browbeating over people misusing antibiotics at the individual level is a lot like plastic producers guilting consumers over recycling when the root cause is from industry.

Factory farming uses antibiotics purely for profit, the health of the animals is only an ancillary benefit. Animals fed antibiotics grow larger, driving higher profits. It's a tragedy of the commons situation, since the abuse of antibiotics has major negative externalities for us all, but the profits are reserved for the owners of the factory farms.
I don't think this is all that useful for displaying 2D works of art. Perhaps if it was sculptures or if there was a high-res version of the painting with specular and depth maps that made sense to view in something other than a flat plane.
The advise on how to take advise. In that case I would need to see advise takers that has failed a few times taking advise from successful founders giving advise before taking your advise.
Woah, great example for go-app/wasm. Love it!
It happened to be the lingua franca for the field at the time. So?
I am no expert either, but a paper-napkin calculation tells me yes, this can happen.

Basically, just based on impulse and energy conservation, and some assumptions on the size and number of fragments, a head-on collision of two satellites going opposite directions at the same orbit should send some pieces of debris into much higher orbit.

How likely this is to happen in reality, and thus how big a problem this could be is a subject of modeling and much more complex calculations.
Not OP, but I mostly highlight and occasionally sprinkle in some text pointers. My goal is for future me to be able to pick up the book and only have to review the highlights to understand the important points.

Occasionally I’ll also use an index card as a bookmark and write page numbers with 1-2 word summaries of big ideas.
> from the perspective that men and and women are equal

Do you mean "identical"?

I wonder what makes you think that men and women would function precisely the same? (Apart from physical things)

People can be different, but still be equal (as in equality)
They also seem to have quietly closed early users' accounts and taken the holdings.
After creating software for almost 30 years, this is still true.

But...it's not their fault. Asking anyone to precisely describe a complex system that is subject to change will have the same problem(s).

This is why Agile[0] was such a breath of fresh air. And Iterative Prototyping, MVP's, all that. It's massively easier and quicker to slap something together, put it in front of a customer and ask them what's wrong with it, than it is to ask them what they want in the first place.

In my experience a quick "it should do this" is good enough to get that going, and then iterate from there.

[0]Actual Agile. As in the Manifesto. Not this Scrum bullshit.

DuckDuckGo Announces Plans to Block Google’s FLoC
It's coming, but it's not there yet; you can't buy PoS ETH on any exchange I know. May be anywhere from 1-3 more years, but hopefully sooner. There have been coordinated efforts by the ETH miners to prevent the transition which has resulted in a political clusterfuck in the Ethereum landscape.

Cardano is the top cryptocurrency currently on PoS, and while I agree that the next cycle will be the ETH cycle, I think the one after that could be the ADA cycle.
So, a psychiatrist is an MD and, as such, can prescribe medicines. The psychologist is-- to all intents and purposes-- a therapist. (I'm painting with super broad brushes here, there are psychiatrists that operate as therapists first and medicine prescribers second, etc.) I suggested a clinical psychologist because they're usually the ones who have the training to act as a therapist while also understanding how the brain works. They're often the people trained to assess someone for ADHD.

No matter what, any good doctor will want to have you assessed by a psychologist or a psychiatrist. You may want to ask your GP if he or she is willing to prescribe the medicine provided a psychologist/psychiatrist diagnoses you. That's usually the easiest thing to do.
Ask HN: Are startup ideas built from college dropouts dying?
Seems these days the biggest ideas need industry expertise
Not really. High speed collisions are high entropy events, so debris fills state space, and you get SOME debris at high altitudes (usually in highly eccentric orbits). That being said, low altitude is much safer since you don’t get as many long lived dead satellites
I think the answer is that they will allow them to use the platform which is equally open to anybody wishing to debate what they are saying. I know it's hip to consider everybody who does not parrot your opinions as a "white supremacist" but if you really look at the people that are in the movement you will find that they are miniscule in numbers and, for the most part, pretty foolish and easily ignored.
I built a (diff) app that doesn't, but I have no idea how to promote that without making people even more suspicious.
The space station has to add energy almost weekly to overcome drag. If it didn't it would likely come down within a couple years. When they want to throw trash away, they literally just drop it off the side and it burns up eventually: https://gizmodo.com/iss-ditches-2-9-ton-pallet-of-batteries-...
> If all you care about is energy usage and transaction speed, the traditional finance system still wins

Does it though? There are so many things to consider when talking about the "energy usage" of traditional money. All the vans moving money around, manufacturing, items to support PoS systems, sorting, protecting the money and so on.
Just put a carbon tax on everything that has environmental externalities, it's as simple as that, it doesn't make sense to target a specific industry, especially one that uses stranded/renewable energy.
By saying "I'm not trying to cast doubt" they in fact acknowledge their statement casts doubt. Surely you can see how...?
> "You are correct that GDP is being misused if people suggest it is a measure of success or quality of life. GDP is what it is, a measure of economic activity (any economic activity, more than just conversion of natural resources into monetary capital)."

gdp (and gnp before that) has been trumped up and misused by the mediopolitical machine for decades, so this has (unfortunately) become a distinction without a real difference.

rather than a resource-oriented view (stuff getting turned into money) as the gp posited, i'd suggest that economic activity should be viewed as the total (levered) labor production of the population instead. this makes it more about the flows rather than the stocks, a dynamic measure rather than a static one. it also centers the discussion around the attribute we centrally value and should be focused on, productive activity, not merely any economic activity, which can be entirely unproductive, as we see with more and more capital concentrating without productive purpose.

no matter what, you'd still need to discriminate and discount activity caused by negative externalities, as the gp astutely pointed out. but that could be a simple as adding a minus sign in front of that activity, as the term itself suggests.
Here's what it'd look like (taken from Reddit):

"The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.

Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.

Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.

Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi TU understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas."
It's a good question. It turns out that linguists can discover quite a lot about how some languages were pronounced before audio recording existed. I got some insight into this by reading the first chapter of an academic book on the pronounciation of Latin where there was a summary of the different kinds of evidence that can be used. Unfortunately I don't have the list to hand so the following is just my random brainstorming:

* the pronunciation of descendent languages, especially when there are lots of them, or lots of different dialects

* comparison with languages that have a common ancestor

* how words were transcribed from one language into another

* how words were changed when adopted from one language into another

* what spelling mistakes were made, particularly in cases where the writer was less educated or being less careful, such as graffiti

* rhyme and metre in poetry

* in literature, cases where someone is mocked for their pronunciation

* puns and wordplay in literature

* and of course cases where ancient authors have written more or less explicitly about pronunciation, either descriptively or prescriptively
They were persecuted, not prosecuted. And this is HN, not 4chan.

Do better.

google wants the content up. it is in their interests for there to be as much mundane fluffy ad-watch-generating content as possible.

having it DMCA'd down is a problem for youtube. content id is how most of the material can stay up, the riaa can stay happy, and google can sell ads.
If it's cheap to buy a phone then I think the management at the company absolutely should be buying the phone, I just fail to see why the employee should be forced to install something on their own phone for work.

It sounds all this "efficiency" ends up in the favor of the company and in a way that just seems out of balance.
I’d be ok if even some of the guilty people went to prison. We don’t imprison every single drug user.
Right, ideally it would work that way, however shifting that over to non-elected and private entities with zero accountability is even worse. At least if government is babysitting it's partially people's fault for voting that way, but I agree even elected officials should know not to force morality on the people.
> There is a fundamental difference between functional requirements and the tasks required to implement them.

Tasks that don't honor the 'why' of the work can make someone look productive when they are not (or indeed, when they are being destructive).

I see the same thing in 5 Why's analysis. There's always one faction that wants to come up with an inactionable 5th Why. It is remarkably easy to steer such discussions to whatever agenda you are pushing.

If you're talking about Syphilis diet and exercise could make the problem worse. Your opportunities for random hookups are more frequent when you are fit.
"I guess it's unfortunate for you that other people have different priorities" was snarky. The site guidelines ask you not to post like that, and your comment would have been fine without it.

Full Emoji support is ... horrendous ... I look into it about once a year; I think there are proposals for unicode but as of now it's still super hard to detect if something's a single emoji symbol or not (the most current regex I saw for emoji-matching was, IIRC, several KB in size...). Some day in our cyberpunk future we'll get there...probably some decades after full self-driving vehicles have become standard...
How are they making making money exactly?
Also I'm not really sure what saying "we don't know the long term effect are" accomplishes. It's not really adding much to the conversation.

You are making the claim that there may not be any long term effects to the vaccine, but the information you cite has nothing to do with mRNA-based vaccines. I'm simply suggesting we don't have the data yet to make such claims.

I’d also really like to understand this better. I did some (casual) research and couldn’t even find any decent papers addressing this.
And Microsoft Windows.
In order for append-to-back to have O(1) amortised running time, the capacity needs to be multiplied by some constant >1. Any constant would do just fine in terms of complexity, but 2 is the obvious simple choice, being the first integer greater than 1.

If the capacity is only increased by some constant each time, rather than multiplied, this leads to O(n^2) running time for a sequence of n append-to-back operations, surely something to be avoided.
Any comment like this is just a set up for “show HN” in a fortnight
NiceHash shows a profitability of $9/day (1) given $0.08/kwh which is average in China (2). So to get a positive return on your investment assuming a cost of $700 per card, it takes less than 80 days. Never before have you been able to launder and invest your money at the same time.

The questions of number of cards and electricity usage are pretty secondary and easy enough to hide. Go off grid, setup a similar legitimate company, lots of options to hide it.

This is backed by the fact the vast majority of hash power for BTC comes from China (3). There are world wide shortages for sha asics and gpus. I'm not describing a hypothetical.

This is a touchy subject in the US so I don't want to get too into it, its a bit off topic. The shortest and most neutral answer I can give is that minority political groups in the US use identity as a tool to push for political change.
If we do this under our respective businesses and our net profits are both $0, what money would be owed?
It also reduces the surface area of collaboration, sharing, open sourcing, security audits, etc. We have standardized in English and it is as arbitrary as any other language - English just happens to be the one chosen.

This whole thing needs to be condemned, we get it - its fun to do something about your local language and be proud of your culture - everyone is. You should be. But, trying to peddle this into mainstream is a monumentally catastrophic. I don't want the world to be fragmented - we need to get together and build better tools.

If anyone who has worked on Chinese datasheets, oh boy, you know the pain.
No, not under criminal law. It requires a civil suit.
