If you want to see an example of that exact thing, I've got a small suite of wrapped FFMPEG tools doing exactly that via Gooey. Having things like screen recording, gif creation, trimming/truncating in a GUI just makes them way more convenient for my frail brain compared to FFMPEG's tough APIs.

These databases already exist. Typically the way it works is after you claim an identity, they will look up past addresses, phone numbers or employers then present multiple choice questions asking which one is part of your past. The companies I've seen that do these are not hosting (or claim to not host) any of the data, but rather have hooks to fetch it from financial institutions. I think it's mostly credit bureaus, but could also be banks.
As others have said, humidity makes an absolutely staggering difference.
I would indeed see the bias if that was the question that they were asking. Was it?
99.999% of people who 'receive payroll' should not be storing all of their money in cryptocurrency. The majority of that group can't even easily come up with $1,000 in the case of an unexpected financial emergency.
The dream for me would be to have my USD denominated paycheck deposited into my account as BTC. I get to skip what we in crypto call fiat onramp, where I have to deposit money into something like Coinbase then pay a fee to buy BTC manually.
Show HN: Tuneal – an API to ship features without a dev cycle

> You can have a family, a house be sustainable but not earning enough to be able to pay for a year off of work.

I think we have different definitions of "sustainable", then.

What you're describing sounds one step up from living paycheck to paycheck. And the fact that "most people are in that position!" doesn't make it a good position to be in, or a necessary one.
Hello HN,

I am one of the creators of Tuneal. Tuneal is an API to ship features without a dev cycle. You can build features using higher-level primitives and then embed them into your existing products. We work at companies that love those no-code / low-code tools but the lack of flexibility in those tools makes us ache.

We made Tuneal to be completely hackable - components come without any styling out of the box, you can write JavaScript to integrate business logic and CSS to make it look great. Once you’re ready, you can add the flow to your site with an API call like below:

Tuneal.init({
flowId: “xyz”,
containerQuerySelector: “#xyz”,
props: {},
callback: (event, appData) => console.log(event, appData)
});

Tuneal is still very early. We would love to hear your thoughts and interesting use-cases if you have any. Thanks! :)
I was surprised to see the repository was Archived. Is it not being maintained now?

Well, then you need to set up a Federal Cryptocurrency Reserve System (FCRS) in the US, and a European Cryptocurrency Central Bank (ECCB).

And if that happens, you probably need a World Cryptocurrency Bank, and an International Cryptocurrency Fund as well.

Wow, things are going to get fun!
>but within my tech and personal circles, no one still really uses it.

It seems it's been made almost deliberately hard to use in the US as a currency because of the tax situation surrounding it (reporting it as capital gains and tracking when you bought/sold). Normal people aren't going to be excited about it when they find they have to pay capital gains tax for that coffee, or equivalent Venmo transfer.

Edit: If I'm wrong about tax situation let me know. But I started to use a crypto transaction tracking service so I can do my taxes easily next year. The tax situation surrounding crypto makes me nervous.

It looks like it's missing the user side of the equation. As in a user can validate they-are-who-they-say-they-are *once*, but Stripe is missing an opportunity to allow users to: validate themselves to a website regularly (OTP tied to identity), allow individuals to update their information (address change), allow individuals to revoke authentication, etc. It is a great foundation and there's huge opportunity for growth in this product.
Another danger is that the senior management can change without passing on the knowledge of the informal networks that were in place.
"I'm not sure what your point is?"

My point is that religious people, whether Christian, Muslim, or whatever, have a serious impact on our lives, and it would benefit everyone if we engaged with them as real people rather than fantasy stereotypes.

Fictional media can help with this by giving us insight in to what people are really like. My contention is that this is more desirable than merely leaving them as faceless talking points in the news.
But thats the same as Germany, no? You still have to pay for health insurance when you quit your job, so thats something to take into consideration before you resign, not only in USA.

Just read that and...there's nothing. Fauci's one of the most prominent people on the planet, dealing with one of the worst pandemics in recent human history, so I'd honestly expect his emails to contain way more interesting stuff than what the Tangle pulled out. If that's all there is, no wonder it's crickets from everybody except the right, who have an obvious interest in discrediting Fauci and a notable disinclination to give a shit about facts.

You can use TC hidden volumes that will log you into different volume depending on entered password. It is not possible to detect that a volume has hidden volumes.

Something like this should exist natively in Android and other operating systems, but obviously there would be a push back from governments.

Assuming you are believe the US dollar is a paper note "backed by nothing." Many people strongly disagree with this statement.
This patronizing line of commentary is so tiresome. I guarantee the median Bitcoin industry participant has an excellent knowledge of banking history. Half the people in Bitcoin are there because they’re aware of the trends in fiat money since Executive Order 6102, August 15th 1971, etc.
> Chat apps use Identity to verify bots and prevent bad bots from spamming real users.

Is bot spam rampant on discord or something? Are less invasive forms of verification (eg. SMS, credit card, or requiring a deposit) not enough? Can it not be solved via technical means? eg. requiring users to opt-in before receiving messages from a bot?

> And shipping services use Identity when a user is suspected as a fraudster—to double check before creating fraudulent shipping labels.

Yet I can buy hundreds of dollars of goods off amazon (or any other e-commerce site) without uploading my ID and giving them a live video feed of my face.

For both of these use cases, I don't doubt that ID verification provides benefit, I just find the privacy tradeoff to be unacceptable. As an analogy, a store can probably cut down on shoplifting if they performed ID checks at the entrance and kept a visitors log, but I think most people would find that unnecessarily intrusive and would refuse to patronize that store.
While I'm sure UK police are after the same powers (or already have them!) Ireland isn't a part of the UK.
Not being able to speak for someone implies you do not know their thoughts or motivations.

So in the second sentence, you acknowledge that you do not know the thoughts or motivations of the person you are responding to, but the preceding sentence implies that you do know the thoughts and motivations of some other people, and what they would or would not have done a couple hundred years ago.

I.e. a very strong claim about one group of people you do not know, followed by an acknowledgement that said strong claim cannot be made for another group of people you do not know.
Oh yes. This could be a nice interface to provide other inputs we (plan2scene) want as well. Like photo to room assignments. Then, plan2scene can create 3d houses with appropriate materials. Thank you for sharing this link.
Nah, the echo chambers are tightening into dominant and submissive; it seems like people are because they are reacting to patently extreme behavior, but in reality modern culture is very much a leftist dominant narrative with a submissive conservative boogeyman narrative.

The issue to me is more that the extremes are so extreme as to be unworkable; you have people being unironic nazis, monarchists, and marxist-communists, so anything else will seem sane and balanced. But it's definitely not being out of an echo chamber.

Yeah it seems like Zoom's falling prey to the "we're a 10,000 seat contract but we really need this feature" stuff. I think using Zoom was fine as long as you could effectively ignore the UI (yeah "Join with Computer Audio" is completely nonsensical, double especially at that phase like, oh yeah I would like to make that decision right now where people don't know I can't hear them and they can't hear me, cool cool cool), but if you're actually using Zoom features beyond like, everyone get on Zoom, it's not wonderful.

Microsoft didn't set out to commoditize computer hardware, IBM did. IBM literally wrote the manual for IBM AT (later ISA) and then shared it with the world with the intent of commoditizing add-in cards for their PC. IBM however thought that by controlling the BIOS, they would retain control of the PC. COMPAQ reversed engineered the BIOS a year later and essentially dropped control of the PC market into the lap of the owner of DOS, Microsoft.

I think Joel is taking some liberties to push his narrative. Either that or he's regurgitating some nonsense barfed in his ear during his time at Microsoft in the 90s about how it was their plan all along. Microsoft wasn't being savvy with the way it licensed DOS to IBM, they didn't seen the coming reverse engineering of the BIOS. Quite simply, they didn't license DOS exclusively to IBM because they couldn't.

After licensing BASIC, IBM later approached Microsoft to source an OS in part because they had a deadline and because their failure to license CP/M was by virtue of the fact that they were IBM. Gary Kildall heard "IBM" and basically told them to get fucked. Microsoft became their Trojan horse to prevent another Kildall situation.

There's a lot of different stories about the origins of QDOS from Microsoft paying SCP to reverse engineer CP/M to QDOS containing CP/M source code. Regardless, Microsoft didn't have an exclusive license to QDOS when it re-licensed it to IBM. It wasn't a tactical move, Microsoft didn't provide IBM with an exclusive license of QDOS because at the time it simply wasn't there's to give. They managed to acquire ownership of QDOS from SCP prior to the PC launch but again that wasn't with the intent to commoditize computer hardware.

Post PC launch and COMPAQ clone, Microsoft wasn't fully at the helm either. IBM saw the error of their ways and sought to rectify it with PS/2 and MCA. If Microsoft had assumed control then IBM probably wouldn't have teamed up with them to build OS/2. Microsoft did however understand what OS/2 meant for their own bottom line and sought to subvert IBM. I would argue that up until the mid to late 90s, Microsoft was largely protecting it's own interest from IBM who was trying to wrangle back control of the PC market.

Again, Microsoft didn't design this. It wasn't their intent from the onset, the market fell into their lap and they fought off everyone else's attempts to take it away.

> If Kraken Financial had been in full operation in March 2020, it may not only have ended up insolvent by mid-March but would likely have been subject to a bank run. In practice, it has more in common with a prime money market fund than a bank.

Sounds about right
No, but Reed-Solomon codes are used on on CDs.
Yup. They sure did. I work for a bank. We saw people across the country be VERY financially responsible. They spent less, they saved more. It was GREAT for the people, and TERRIBLE for our profit - BUT our own CEO said it is better for us to have responsible citizens than to make a quick buck.
A former colleague of mine has three children and no spare office room in his house, so his work-from-home met with school-from-home. He thought about buying a trailer like those used on construction sites, but those are also not prime office-material. I guess once the children are at school again, he will be happier.
You might as well stay at home and do nothing because no one wants to work around whiny crybabies like you,anyway.
While that sounds like a great ... in all likelihood by the time it hits the public market most if not all the value will be extracted by the investors. With a branded company like this and equity markets as frothy as they are. I doubt there will be much value left for retail. Hopefully Im wrong though.
I don't think Ireland scopes their warrants like the US. I think warrants are location based.
The only way to verify an identity is to call out to the identity issuer and confirm the details and pics on the id.

A fake ID is still a fake ID. Just because it passes a looks-similar test doesn't mean it's being verified.

verify
> verb
> make sure or demonstrate that (something) is true, accurate, or justified.

If it's not confirmed by issuer(in person or programmatically), it can never be 100% thus can never be verified.
> $1.50/user may sound outrageously expensive at first, but having seen all the engineering power it takes to build something like this at Uber...it's a totally fair price.

I observed other teams struggle to build and have tackled challenges posed by identity, 1.5$/user is terrific price. Handling PII data in itself is a rabbit hole of engineering, product, and regulatory challenges. Let alone creating unique identities, matching, and what not.
Not really, it would be better for KYC to collapse under it's own weight.
Microsoft didn't design or intend the commoditization of PC hardware. It fell into their lap by happenstance and they fought to retain it.

IRC doesn't need to boom. The communities matter; IRC is just a protocol.
Hm, maybe that's not specific to Germany, but in this company there are lots of people who think something like this:

- Totally not my problem, see how you figure it out for yourself

- We've never done it that way

- We've always done it this way

- Don't look left and right while doing your work

- I don't want to improve but I don't like where you are

- If you're not physically at work you can't be working at all

I think Germans sometimes have a specific sense of order and structure for work. Also succesful people, like in hard-working and making something out of themselves, are often belittled and in general nothing to look up to.

These cultural "problems" creep into workplaces, too. To paraphrase a bit more:

Work is a place you go to and leave after 8 hours. 8.5 hours precisely, because of 0.5 hours of lunch break. Don't stay longer, but NEVER leave 15 minutes earlier. You also don't hang out with colleagues for a beer or food, except for the colleagues from your pack. But you only meet those in your free time to talk about the other colleagures.

Also the other packs/departments are probably all idiots. "Online people" don't work at all, because I never see them on the phone, they just chill and surf the web probably. And they even work less now that they stayed at home because of Covid.

I've experienced all of this not only in my current but in other companies and I start to think it's a workplace-culture thing, where Germans don't realise that we're all in the same team but some people work just differently than others. This leads to a lot of envy, bad mood and stress, because I've always got the feeling that I need to fight. Fight for how I work, what I work on, how I communicate that to clients and so on.

So, I'd like my leaders up in the C-level to work on "relaxing the people", connecting the departments, thinking more about purpose and mission and vision and less about whether we can make 5% more profit this year.

I'd love if we would get something like a Skillshare/Udemy/LinkedIn learning membership for all of us and you get two hours a week to learn whatever you want, so everybody can become better.

I'd love if the company would support renting a bike, but "it's too complicated/too much work". I'd also love if I could get rid of most of the wall units here in our space and instead get a couch and some plants. Best we will get (learned that today) is that we can paint one wall in a color we'd like. We might even be allowed to paint that in our working time, but we'll see.

I don't expect middle to larger companies to be like a startup and everything is possible all the time and so on, but I think in Germany we need to see work more as a place where you are also allowed to have fun and enjoy the environment and learn and develop yourself and look next to the road and so on...
>The majority of that group can't even easily come up with $1,000 in the case of an unexpected financial emergency.

They could if they had been saving in bitcoin :)
As far back as I can remember this has always been the case. Sometimes there’s weird situations where buying is cheaper but generally, when looking at the immediate term renting is cheaper.

But it’s pretty dumb to do an analysis like this NYT article as it’s important to factor in some amount of time for decision making. These can get pretty complicated but just a basic personal model factoring in 2-3% annual increases in rent compared against ownership costs is what I used to choose rent over buy.

It can be used for a specific decision (eg, “I’m going to live in Fooberg for 5 years, what should I do?”) or macro life planning (eg, “I’m going to live for 60 more years, what should I do?”).

It’s funny how these articles are so clickbaity and missing on basic reporting and analysis. I think it’s based on the few people who actually sub to the NYT like reading about populist stuff (eg, landlords bad, can’t afford to buy).

Of course these things are true, but they’re always true. Maybe it was awesome in 1945, but it was super hard for someone in their 20s to buy a house in the 80s and 90s and it’s super hard now. Tl;dr; you probably still want to buy a place in 9/10 situations since rent goes up and mortgage is fixed and eventually ends (although taxes and insurance and maintenance sort of index to inflation).
This is good. Some things I think you should consider:

- Get users (hah, easier said than done of course).

- Comments will help people find variations (not everyone has the same equipment, or have physical issues that require a variation of the workout, comments will fill that void).

- Split this up into categories (core, legs, etc)

- Link this stuff to YouTube videos (it’s just easier to watch someone doing it with proper form)

- Last but not least, become an app. A routine is a checklist, so make it so people can hit ‘done’ on a completed rep, maybe input the weight lifted. Track it, charts.

- If you don’t do any of this, I’m going to.
> But what Im saying is the ASIC tech is applied to other chips not in the Bitcoin space making computing more efficient overall. This future savings dwarfs the current usage.

Is the development of bitcoin ASICs actually driving any general purpose advances? My understanding is they were just applying existing advanced technology to Bitcoin. The idea of an ASIC isn't new, and Bitcoin mining is niche compared to other areas (e.g. cell phone processors, desktop CPUs & GPUs)
For some people. Those people will never use a Kraken Bank account. A lot of people in bitcoin today don't care about the crypto-libertarian cause.
Does a full scale clinical trial and misses the window for marketability because the other companies skipped it
