Show HN: Indicator Dash – Rank and compare to mitigate crypto market uncertainty
For the last two years, I have been hard at work to launch Indicator Dash, along with its parent company, Hex Datum OÜ (https://hexdatum.com/). Before that, I was an academic for over 10 years, a career that culminated with my PhD thesis, entitled "Graph-Based Entity-Oriented Search", successfully defended in 2021. More about me here: https://josedevezas.com/

Now, a bit about Indicator Dash.

Indicator Dash is a crypto analytics product where we provide normalized signals, ready to be combined by the user in a personalized manner to support learning or decision-making through rankings.

I believe this approach to be a middle ground between raw indicators and algorithmic trading approaches. Here, users only need to understand what the indicator represents, but the interpretation process is already done, in the backstage, by Indicator Dash, resulting in specific signals extracted from multiple indicator statistics or configurations. This enables regular users to create custom pair ranking solutions, at the distance of a click, without the need to learn about algorithmic trading and implement their own script. Of course, this comes at a cost: only indicator interpretations implemented by us are supported, but we plan to keep expanding our indicator signals for a long time!

We also collect, categorize, classify, and index crypto news articles, extracting and organizing entities into a knowledge graph. All this content is available through our search engines, or through beautiful ego network visualizations, that let you explore crypto contexts, to learn about new actors in the field and discover new coins.

If you'd like to test Indicator Dash, you can sign up for a free account, or use the coupon, specifically created for Hacker News, to get a 50% discount on basic or premium accounts until October 2022. The coupon can only be redeemed 10 times, so get it while it's fresh! You can also watch our demo video here, if you'd prefer: https://youtu.be/Pa5WujQ8bXA

Let me know what you like, dislike, or would like to see in Indicator Dash! Your feedback is invaluable. If you'd like to structure feedback, you can also leave an entry here: https://feedback.indicatordash.app/ And thank you for taking the time to learn about our first Hex Datum product!
Actually, no. I assume major debris is tracked.

So, we can verifiably determine whether the money has done its job or not.

Or shall we do nothing?
You can have multiple displays connected to an HDMI hub with different refresh rates. I have this problem with a projector that runs at 240 Hz in a TV that runs at 60 Hz. It confuses my receiver.
Token storage vulnerability in MS Teams
All stats thus far show that countries generally deemed to be 'soft' on crime have lower crime rates, significantly lower portions of their population in prison, and have significantly reduced recidivism rates.
Probably. The people who use professional quality studio microphones to send heavily compressed audio over Microsoft Teams also confuse me greatly.
51% of people being able to enslave the other 49% of people is terrible, and there absolutely should be measures in a democracy to protect minorities against majorities.

But what's usually left out when people bring out that argument, is that the alternative is worse. If the 51% can enslave the 49% in a democracy, then the 1% can enslave the 99% in a system where people vote with their money. In both versions, you need to protect groups with less power, but democracies distribute power much, much better than "capitalocracies" where 1 dollar = 1 vote.
Usage-Based Pricing for the Creator Economy
> Of course, cycling involves greater costs and danger.

Very true. I considered that too. My solution:

- bought a secondhand citybike iso race bike
- always helmet & reflective vest
- longer but safer route alternative
What makes the TV software better than OS software?
Looks like Python, and partially JavaScript, are eating Java's lunch. I knew that JS is popular, but I have not expected Python. Do you think it's Oracle's mismanagement that led to this?
Politicians Setting the Tone
Pretty much. I was quite tempted to put "(no)" after title but I guess HN usually wants exact titles.

That said, measuring Russia's economy is kind of hard anyways because most of the wealth is concentrated in oligarchs and they have enterprises all across the world. Very often even if one of the oligarchs is doing well financially it won't exactly translate into Russian people gaining any benefits (most likely it will be yet another yacht for that oligarch) but they will still probably count it as an increase in their country's GDP.
With all due respect to Art Garfunkel, whose work I greatly admire...I would suggest to tone it down a little bit :-) and maybe change the text on the page 1968 to 1978 from "We are pleased to present a listing of every book Art has read since 1968." to maybe "We are pleased to present a listing of every book Art bought, opened once, perused, read a few pages and some he read since 1968..." :-))

From 1968 to the end of 1978 you have approximately 3650 days...And since the page has the somewhat unusual take of also prominently listing the number of pages of each book...I was able to gather the total number of pages amounts to 43,612 pages. 12 pages per day for 10 years? Uhmmm...
These things are largely a matter of taste. The iPhone photos look nicer to me, overall. There are a few cases of closeups shot with the iPhone where the photos are relatively soft, but I suspect that's just bad focus, camera shake, or subject movement. Also seems that the Pixel ramps up the contrast more than the iPhone, which will tend to make things look a little sharper.
> Is there any post which goes into evolution of prisma from initial days of exposing graphql API directly to using it as wire protocol in the query engine?

To be honest, I think the most comprehensive resource for this is a Twitter thread [1] that I posted from my personal account that explains the different turns we took in the product direction :D

Otherwise, there's yhr blog post "How Prisma & GraphQL fit together" [2] that also touches on the same topics but might be a bit dated since it was published before we released the Prisma ORM for production use.

> And now the likely removal of graphql as wire protocol. What are the key reasons to remove the use of graphql query language?

The short answer is that it would allow us to make us more optimizations for the bridge between JS- and Rust-land in Prisma Client. However, this is not an urgent issue for us at the moment so very likely won't become a priority in the near/mid-term future.

Next-gen BMW EVs to get new battery tech for 620-mile range
Being big means more money and resources, yes, but this also means having more employees, and more assets, ie. a much bigger attack surface.

Believe it or not, it's much easier to successfully phish a big company where you have unlimited pool of emails to tap into.
Yes. OTOH, I've seen New York Times editorials warning that the Democrats will likely lose control of Congress in a few months, because they've been too busy with their ideological d*ck-measuring contests, pie-in-the-sky projects, etc. to pay much attention to the "bread and butter" problems causing daily misery for millions of their potential voters. And a whole lotta those folks are likely to return the "ignore your needs" favor on election day.

Government problem-solving rule #1: Any 5-year-old can recite "my government will solve..." slogans. Actually doing stuff requires that you actually control the government.
> I just lost the purse with my phone, or my device broke, or got stolen, or whatever, and need the damn TOTP code to telework _right now_.

So, wait for a new authenticator device to be shipped to you. Like, if the work laptop broke, you'd presumably have to wait on a replacement for that, too...
You don't know how this person lost their number. How quickly they lost access to it. What actually happened.

Maybe the last time this banner appeared, they still had their number. Maybe things just co-coincided with the worst possible timing. Stuff like that can happen.

I'm really not comfortable calling them completely incompetent over this.

Also there have been reports of people getting locked out for no fault of their own as well. And those people too have no chance to do something about it.

But even if it is incompetence or gross negligence - as a software company, you'd still want people to be able to report that stuff happening, so that at least you get statistics that you can use to measure the effectiveness of any improvements you try to make.

If those problems occur so frequently that it's no longer financially feasible for you to actually look into them... then maybe there's some incompetence going on at your own side, right?
Even though I liked some of this article’s insights, I found out at the end of it that it is just a hidden ad for the author’s own community ($100)
This is the real reason the British would want to give it back to India. Whether it belongs to India is highly contestable. But the British holding on to it will continue to remind them of their dark days, the manner in which they acquired this and the consequences they created around the world. The Koh-i-Noor today, is the perfect symbol of colonial exploitation. Like an Elder Wand, it induces a lust for possession and attracts undue attention to itself. It has never turned out good for any of its owners.
It can be much more subtle than that and I have seen people like you fall for it (or for other social-engineerings attacks) more than once...
Maybe I'm a bit jaded, but what would the hackers get that hasn't already been revealed from hundreds of other high profile hacks in the past 5 years?
Pip vs. Conda: an in-depth comparison of Python’s two packaging systems (2021)
It's difficult, 1000 people can see what you wrote and it just takes one to misunderstand or jump to conclusions. That will motivate someone to respond (to feel self-righteous or helpful) more than someone agreeing with what you say. To me it's just the physics of a message board and you have to accept that reality while not taking it all too seriously.
No, you’re just refusing to understand what he meant, just to be “right”.

You cannot fully block an app’s internet access.

You can disable its cellular data permission, and you can disable background refresh, but as long as you’re connected to Wi-Fi the app can use the internet.

You would have to manually disconnect from Wi-Fi every time you wanted to use the app.

And yes, I own an iPhone.
I avoid Altera altogether because Intel doesn't seem to care much about them. Quartus has either been abandoned, or received the barest minimum updates. Setting up a new system is an adventure in patches & workarounds.*

*It's possible that some of this has been remedied, I gave up on them a few years ago and haven't checked back...
Honest question,

What would happen if we assume that those with low self esteem self-select to match the toxicity in their head in choices of social media consumption and choice of social media platforms?

Somewhat the kissing-cousin to the observation that those 1-percenters on social media that create such as GaryVee do not use sm platforms like the bottom 99 percent.

I.E., SM platforms are a mirror in showing that we still have somewhat a broken humanity society structure.
You can trust folks at HN to find whatever edge case is necessary to disprove the usefulness of anything crypto.
Distributed applications running on chain have literally just started. Enormous opportunities there.

Already multiple huge apps such as: Uniswap, Opensea, MakerDAO, Compound, Balancer, Curve. A lot of small stuff that could grow like Opulous. Lots to be built. Huge field of opportunity.
awesomeeeee
In theory this runs just as well on TVs if the right drivers are present. They ship postmarketOS versions of their firmware, for example.

Sadly, pmOS doesn't support any TVs as far as their website is concerned (https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/TVs) but with some work (getting the mainline kernel to boot based on the GPL sources or getting the built-in kernel to boot pmOS) you can flash your TV with this firmware. In practice you won't be able to do much with it as TV SoCs are almost always shipped with underperforming hardware and as little RAM and storage as possible, but you could.
What does mainstream mean? What’s your unit of measure?
But people have used computers before. It works exactly the same as a computer. I think it's much easier than using typical smart TV interfaces.

It has the added bonus (over typical smart TV interfaces) that typing text becomes much faster. You can use the web browser as a web browser. You can use uBlock origin. You can have several tabs open at a time and switch between them at a sensible speed. It's so much better than a smart TV.

You don't need the room cluttered with cables, you can put the laptop in a cabinet underneath the television.
Removing incitements to violence seems like a good thing, and I would guess their customers (the advertisers) fully support it. The fact that they do it so badly is entirely on them.
This regularly shows itself as being true: our bodies know more than our minds let us in on. Sometimes I just have just a feeling that something is wrong or something, while not being able to pinpoint exactly why or how. But wait a few minutes ignoring this bad feeling, and it turns out to be true.

As I get older, I also find my body acting more and more for me. Have something important in the morning to do? I don't need to put the alarm anymore, I'll wake up by myself, not really knowing why until a couple of minutes later when I remember "Oh, I had this thing to do, good thing I woke up!".

I think this is what happened in the authors case as well. His mind maybe didn't realize it at the time, that there could be timezone differences that were important, but his body did, so it did its best to steer him towards waking up on time just in case. And in this case, it turned out that his body knew better than his mind.

Maybe this is what people mean when they talk about "gut feeling".
That’s not what I said (of course). Multiple others in this thread decry the same thing.

And you can be a great developer and still misunderstand crypto. But I really struggle to see how you can be a great innovator and fail to see cryptos potential at this point.
>Basically sums up EU tech scene.

That's a bit unfair, because the "scene" care's (think of CCC and Netzpolitik).

But what's sad is that the politicians have absolutely no clue, absolutely no interest (well like you said "Not even caring enough"), then you have Flinten Uschi who don't even know that Helicopters need replacement parts do flight reliably.

And then you have leader's who don't even know what the Internet is...no really! They think it's a normal "can be regulated without been called China" transport of information created by twitter and email...maybe Zoom too (just look at the discussions about Chat-control v2.0)

Then the whole Operating-system thing, every real entity in this world try's to have alternative's to Microsoft (i am NOT saying Microsoft is evil..but you know Cloud-act etc..) and what do we get? A Lidl-Cloud and huge Microsoft installations at every important part of Governments and with every NEW project. Munich (LiMux) is a perfect example how corrupt and Anti-patriotic[1] whole Europe and especially Germany is.

We have not a single affordable and reliable Cloud in Europe..and NO Hetzner makes business in the US since ~4 month so they fall under the Cloud-Act too, that made it instantly unusable for European personal connected information.

[1] With patriotic i mean look for the well-being of your people's and hold up the base ideas of your society and law's (because that's the job of politician...well in theory), and NOT the nonsensical "i love my Country because i do"
Since this should only be a last resort you could limit any recovery to accounts that have no recent logged in activity to reduce risk.

Google at least have your past IP addresses which should allow law enforcment to identify you (at least narrow the question down to a handful of people who could all be asked if they have a claim to the account unless you only ever accessed it from public networks). Doing all that detective work is not going to be cheap but right now you don't even have the option to pay for it if your online account is worth a lot to you.
Several years ago, to learn about machine learning, I wrote an algorithm that learnt what the best links in a Wikipedia article are to click in order to find the shortest route between two random articles. The answer was pretty much what you’d expect: top of the article, see also section at the bottom, first paragraph of each section, and then the rest of the article
I have submitted this exact article three days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32821927

Can someone tell me how this apparent duplicate comes into being? I was under the impression that HN consolidates identical submissions.
Well his actual “speech” there said why should the US stay in NATO when the EU is dependent on Russian energy and also directly funding the Russian economy.

Trump was not uniquely correct about this. Obama warned Europe about this same thing.

That's the LCOE perspective, but the costs for the end consumer include ancillary functions that the TSOs have to procure or build out themselves. So far I have not seen an electricity grid with a high penetration of renewables that has resulted in lower total costs, which isn't that weird considering the price for a highly distributed grid is complexity.

Thermal pollution doesn't have to exist for newer plants, you can use the waste heat for district heating. If we assume there are no political forces that try to stop this (big if), then it becomes a purely economical calculation to see if it makes sense.

In another comment you mentioned 40% capacity factor in a system with equal parts wind and solar. This seems a little high right now. The best performing offshore parks are around 55-60%, but it's usually lower. For onshore it's 25-35% and offshore is 35-50%.
>>The last known owners aren't sovereigns of a nation anymore.

India is a democracy, people's government. So your argument doesn't stand.
I would say you haven’t looked into smart contracts, NFTs and distributed apps enough.

Look into Uniswap, Balancer, Curve, Compound, MakerDAO. Read what Vitalik Buterin has written on his blog and watch some podcasts with him.

For people outside of the art world the narrative around NFTs is “it’s all fraud / it’s all silly pictures of apes”.

This is demonstrably untrue but its hard to show this to the hive mind here since they want to believe that it is true. But a lot of folks in the digital art world will tel you that NFTs have been a godsend.

Basically you are looking at tokens (99% of which are a scam) instead of looking at applications (99% of which are also a scam). The fundamental problem with crypto right now is the lack of regulation - without regulation it’s become a free for all for all kinds of scams and ponzis. If you were a criminal today the best way to make money is crypto. There is no regulation. You have to separate the wheat from the chaff but the chaff is humongous due to the lack of regulation. This gets a lot of people confused and they just end up dumping the whole space (unfortunate but understandable).
How much does Oracle cost for something similar? It seems people are willing to pay money for something as crucial as a database if it works well.
You can do whatever you want, just don't pretend that the amount of the fine is not completely arbitrary.
I disagree. On my laptop running Windows 11, the edges of context menus are horribly pixelated because of the round corners they've added. Maybe there's a setting to fix that but I shouldn't need to look for that after I hit the "update to Windows 11" button.

This is something GNOME does better for God's sake and they can't even show thumbnails in a file picker!

I'd say Windows is selectively polished. Some parts are worked out beautifully while others are hacked together. macOS is a lot better in terms of polish (but a lot worse in many other aspects).

Well I said troll because of the trolling behaviour. Using inflammatory/divisive wording about "judgements about social justice" is not constructive to the debate and I am properly downvoted because I fed the troll. It doesn't make it better that acknowledged that I fed the troll.
I had a manager — who I basically loved — that loved to say “assume positive intent”, perhaps from teammate $T

And I tried!

But my priors were that teammate $T has rejected ideas from most of my design documents for (imho) inconsequential reasons — Eg there were framework scalability concerns of using a framework that handles 1x-1000x the projected growth of the current project.

Telling me to “assume positive intent” from feedback saying it wouldn’t work “because scale” (when we were comfortably 4-5 orders of magnitude away from those problems) felt pretty empty.

More honest pushback would essentially be “this solution didn’t need this scale yet”, or “we can afford to re-architect this right now” — “finding deals” becomes a rent payment from someone figured
Thanks to Julie for this; but I'm still a bit confused.

Does anyone share a suspicion that these myriad of anachronisms and bits of weirdness creates unnecessary complexity that swim through the system like a goblin in the machine? And that, if with 20/20 hindsight we just simplified things a bit, that many of our systems would be much more resilient and easy to manage?

I feel that we hacked the internet together, and in the impending rush to build more and more on top of it, we just resigned ourselves to the mess.

None of this (well, most of it) should be inherently hard. If we 'did it with foreknowledge' I wonder if all of these IT level networking issues would be pedantic, i.e. something you read a few quick docs and away you go. Everyone an expert pretty quick.

Merely looking at the options for my DSL device, my god man, even after all these years in tech, I'm still a bit bewildered.

Even at the consumer level, if I go over to someone else's house, I can't 'change the channel'. No idea what I'm watching, or the abstractions behind how it got to the TV.
I recall that PG started it because he was writing essays, and doing talks, and students at the talk were asking him for more advice.

And then another point where he figured that angels were getting a pretty damn big cut, because one of the angels who invested in his company got an excellent ROI.

And the first YC batch was outstandingly good.
