Show HN: Realtime DAO
Hey, my name is Vini. I created this app on a hackathon, the idea is for people that are part of DAOs, they can have extensive proposals and discussions, so, I created bot to save time for people. Realtime DAO is a great tool to stay up to date on the latest news and insights around decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) proposals. With this Twitter Bot, you can get real-time updates from the DAO proposals so you never miss a beat. It uses a combination of natural language processing and machine learning algorithms to extract the most relevant data from DAO proposals and provide insights to users. Let me know if you have any suggestions or questions.

Regardless of insurance or lack thereof, customers are obligated to pay for services they receive.

> Position problem can be handled beautifully by variants based on row polymorphism, such as in OCaml or PureScript. There you can access the fields not by their position but by a key, like keys in objects in JS, meaning that they don't have to be ordered at all. It's like an inverse of a struct: in a struct all fields/keys are guaranteed to exist, but in a variant only one of them exists. Due to row polymorphism they can also be extensible. You can even "handle" a particular field/key and remove it from the type but keep all the other ones and delay handling them.

Exactly. OCaml's polymorpic variants implement a subset of set theoretic types for specifically defined types - see also this ICFP'16 paper https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/2951913.2951928

For languages with more first-class/principles set-theoretic types see the Ceylon type system (sadly dead and archived at Eclipse ceylon-lang.org) or TypeScript (though they obviously also have to deal with JS which makes everything more messy than necessary).

With "Flattening" I mean applying the usual laws of set theory for simplified types: Either<Either<A,B>,A>> is doesn't express our intent for a function return or parameter type if we don't care about the position of A, just whether it is an A, the same with Either<A, Either<A,B>>>/etc, so we'd want all nested variations normalized to Either<A,B>. But we also don't care about the difference between Either<A,B> and Either<B,A> - normalizing this is already not easy without metaprogramming/type reflection. At this point it ceases to have any significant relationship to the original Either type. If we'd use it still to signify A|B and would actively need to call normalizing functions to keep our types clean and simple in this way, that adds non-semantic (regarding the intent of our code) noise to our code or we need to hide the complexity by using more abstract tools like e.g. monad transformers. If instead the language already provided these types, this complexity caused by embedding set theory inside the language doesn't leak into our code and our intent can be expressed more clearly in types without "bookkeeping" artifacts.
This is only exacerbated when going to higher arities of sets/Either.
I, too, have been using HN for over a decade. I never add my email to the accounts for recovery lol.

> perhaps even more!

And that’s also part of the disconnect here. I don’t believe this to be true fully. Growing up, the people who performed the best were the ones that really delved into the features of the calculator. They also installed more games. Did programming. The ones that did more than what the teacher taught. They would be the ones to remember whether not there were “devastating?!?!” contrast or battery issues. That’s just my opinion and experience (which is also why I provided other relevant personal details for perspective).

I do understand your line of thinking though (e.g. people who perform the worst use the calculator more because it takes them longer to do homework). The question then becomes this. Who has the better, unbiased memory of how the calculator functions: the struggling student or the one who cultivated a fondness and really explored its capabilities?

I did mention that I used my calculator(s) a lot in the same sentence that you had an issue with at least lol

Also, I just searched for HN comments related to SAT. There are a few from high schoolers and adults. Not many. But enough to satisfy me lol!
Perhaps it isn't the orginization in that example, but the detached and shareholders who have limited liability.
Most people on HN are from the same cultural niche Apple is located in, in a country founded by actual bonafide Puritans.

Of course they are OK with a machine being an obnoxious prude.
> "guaranteed to work for many years" if you don't need them calibrated I guess.

Unless you need traceability for contract or regulatory reasons, oscilloscopes don't need regular calibration. Most of the time, you're probably using them for rough visual confirmations (e.g. is this signal behaving like I expect it to) more than precise measurements. In any case, it's rare for an oscilloscope to go seriously out of whack without a physical insult (like being dropped or exposed to major overvoltage).

This is so bare facedly a profit driven land grab. These people don't give a damn about conservation or culture, they just want to use their burgeoning social power to force a kind of "Exclusive economic zone" onto their neighbors so they can implement a commercial fishery for their own exclusive benefit, free of any kind of regulatory oversight or environmental protections.

As someone who lives near a bunch of various first nations, I've seen this pattern playing out more and more lately. They come up with some bullshit rationale about "Protecting the environment and their culture," use that to brow-beat the politicians into capitulating to their demands out of fear of any kind of pushback being labeled as "Racist" and then as soon as the first nations groups gain control of an area or resource, they keep doing whatever they claimed they were against even worse than the people who we're previously doing it (ie. cutting down more trees that the loggers, catching more fish than the fishermen) and then once they've cut down all the trees and / or caught all the fish, they just plonk down some condos on their "Sacred land" and turn into rent-seeking landlords.
Interesting question. I'd assume that being an office worker is easier, but I've never been a vagrant. Seems like money would be the main problem, paying for food and things like replacing the phone when it broke. Having no secure location to keep e.g. books, spare clothes, groceries, would get stressful after a short time, for me anyway.

How are you defining "vagrant" ? Homeless, no job, depending on things like soup kitchens and shelters, sleeping outdoors in good weather ?
> Of course you can - in javascript. What is stopping you? (except that you don't like it)

If you mean by setting `position: absolute` and then using left/top/right/bottom to position your element, that won't work. You can't plug your code into the browser's layout dispatching mechanism to correctly react to size changes, reflows and all that. You can do that in any native UI framework.

> The app you make, you can ship by simply sending a link.

Depends on what it does. If it needs to store data locally and/or work with files for example, doing that on a website that runs in a browser is a pain in the ass both for the developer and the user. Last time I checked, if you want to generate a file for the user to save, you have to encode it into base64 and "open" it as a data: URI. Isn't that utterly bonkers?

Is that the reason there's so much whitespace everywhere these days? Is that also why all controls are so confusing that you sometimes have to try interacting with them to understand what they do?

Not everyone's goal is to simply have as many users as possible.
the original post has a full section about Matrix’s support for E2EE group video calls, which you can play with at https://call.element.io. This, and much more, is the point.
There used to be a plug in for bulletin that would do something similar to users you hellbanned; it would render the site much more slowly, would show errors frequently, and in general made the forum a frustrating experience. (In addition to hiding anything they posted from others!)
This reminds me of one of my former ESPN co-workers - Mike Davidson[1] - who founded of one of the first community news sites (Newsvine[2]) back in 2006.

Newsvine had comments and upvotes and link submissions and posts - it was very reddit-esque except it was focused around the news. The team had to have a way to deal with spammers and trolls. They found the most effective way was to flag a user as a troll on the Newsvine backend. If the troll flag was set to true, Newsvine would add a random 10-60 second delay to every page load for the troll's account. IIRC it solved the problem pretty effectively.

Right... I constantly (literally, every day) get value out of LLMs due to their ability to do some reasoning.

Is it advanced reasoning? Maybe not. Is it flawed often? Yes. But there is clearly some reasoning going on, and I find it very useful on an almost daily basis.
Subways just aren’t necessary in most US cities. Buses and dedicated surface busways are the answer—using new clean technologies such as electric or hydrogen.

In a way only the US can do, we need to kill the romance with trains and subways and just be practical. Wheels are wheels. Put the money into comfortable new buses; keep them clean and well-maintained; and reduce car traffic in the city centers by creating designated busways and major parking facilities.

It was honestly be great if I could drive to within 15 miles of LA and park my car in a secure parking lot and get on an an express bus into the city center. That’s my dream.

Late XX century has shown that people don't want to live "out there" in the wide fields or lush grasslands.

Instead they would line up for an overpriced apartment in London or a condo in Silicon Valley. A nice coast with view if they have the money.

It would not be easy to beat people into moving off Earth en masse, if they aren't willing to move out of metro area.
There is a logical issue here, people are accusing Google with the line of attack that large scale gives them benefits. I've seen variants of this before:

> “It’s absolutely not true that scale is not important,” Manber wrote. “We make very good use of everything we get.”

I think that is true, but then the obvious conclusion - if one party doesn't have 90% of the market then the quality of search results will be lower. Successful anti-trust prosecutions against the party with 90% of the market will have a likely outcome of:

1) Reducing the quality of service for everyone.

2) Pushing the 90% market company to be one domiciled somewhere with more reasonable monopoly laws.

Successfully proving that more data -> more scale -> better results is actually implies that one company with 90% market share is desirable. Although I'm still not going to use Google search, I don't think that argument is correct. But the line of attack is not clever.
This comment is hard to address without understanding the details of your project, but I will at least say that it doesn't mirror my experience.

Generally, I would use the same tools (e.g. ./gradlew build or docker build) to build stuff locally as on CI, and config params are typically enough to distinguish what needs to be different.

My CI scripts still tend up to be more complicated than I'd like to (due to things like caching, artifacts, code insights, triggers, etc.), but the main build logic at least is extracted.
We are currently moving to CNPG and have tried CrunchyData and Zalando in the process. The other two we abandoned while trying it out.

Zalando:
- Relies on WAL-E which is now obsolete
- Documentation all over the place
- Hacky setup that deviates from K8s standards (no easy way to set user through supplying secrets, for instance).

In general, it feels like an operator to be used internally at Zalando according to their conventions that they just open sourced. It doesn’t seem like they want (or get time) to support other conventions. I don’t think this is a bad thing, it’s already great Zalando open sourced this. Just important to know when you decide to use it.

CrunchyData:
- Incomplete documentation (Certain values settings are missing from their API specs)
- Hacky user setup.
- Doesn’t support running without backups enabled. (Obviously, you’d never want to run without backups setup on prod. But when testing, it’s nice to not need to have a perfect setup from the start. Without backups, it will let the database pods fill up their PVC’s with a WAL. Even when not doing any writes. It fills up at about 10GB/day.)
- Backups seem to randomly fail.

It looks pretty OK otherwise.

CNPG:
- Adheres to K8S standards
- Seem to realise that an Operator will (currently) not fully replace a DBA. Their kubectl plug-in is great to interact with the cluster.

Obviously we still need to test rollovers and restoring from backups, but so far it’s been easy to setup.

It does suffer from what most operators suffer from; their CRD is a mess. The UID of the Postgres Container is specified on the same indentation level as my switchOverDelay, superuserSecret and bootstrap spec. Would be nice if these would follow a more logical grouping (pod spec, users, switchover).
This sounds like a neat infinite money trick, are these the right steps?

- Take out huge, collateralized SBA loan

> Cali, NY and Texas are the majority of what I see.

California, New York, and Texas are very large states with lots of businesses accounting for about 1/3 of the national economy, so (especially given that people often overestimate the share of the largest contributors when not actually doing the math) that it would seem like the majority.
It’s different from the FTC because its funding comes directly from the federal reserve.

So the CFPB--a bureau within the federal reserve--cannot be funded by the federal reserve?

So it’s independent of both the President and Congress.

Just like the federal reserve.

The federal reserve doesn't just set interest rates and lend money... they're also tasked with regulation of the financial system. So it makes sense that the CF(inancial)PB would be part of it. In fact, the creation of the CFPB was just the consolidation of work done by several bureaus, including the federal reserve. Kind of like when DHS was created--just a reorganization.
So you have agency in theory but not in practice? I don't know many coworkers who can afford to live anywhere near our office aside from management and people far along on the technical promotion path. Every state, city and area is different but I can't imagine these circumstances are rare. Homes without commutes tend to have a much higher price or rental cost than those further away. If 80% of your workers have to commute to get to your office what agency do they really have? The agency to live in a van parked a few blocks away?
Maybe that's because all traditional religions are way outdated and the modern emergent cults are all hostile towards reproduction.
> When google first appeared it was a revolution compared to everything else.

At first it wasn't even because their search was that much better than anyone else's. What made google popular was that it wasn't a massive, messy, ad-filled page of things you didn't care about. Other search engines were bloated "portals" that tried to do everything: email, news, shopping mall, weather, etc

Google had a simple clean interface that loaded instantly on a typical dial up connection and that's really what got people to make it their homepage. Today, google has slowly turned into exactly what it was created to solve. Ad-filled bloated pages that try to be everything by pushing things you don't care about in your face.
Ironically cnn types are the ones who want to cancel or rewrite Agatha Christie, in particular "And then there were none" to which I think they're referring.

Anyway, I was thinking how screwed up it is that we live in a world where supposedly we've come a long way civilization-wise, but we have major world powers where important people get "dissapeared" and we just sort of mention it off hand or maybe joke about it, when really our fellow men and countries that we do business with (while maybe not russia now) are just murdering their opponents. There's some pretty major doublethink or cognitive dissonance going on.

"Did you just murder a bunch of people?"

"Maybe"

"Um, can we have some oil/manufactured goods/whatever now?"

It's super screwed up.
Yeah, it even goes down to the physics of harmonics.

> No, that's a made up fact that is wrong. Brands tend to be pretty consistent in their quality over time, especially those that have been around a while

You said you use logos as a proxy for quality because you don't have time to understand how to evaluate quality, nor learn what brands have quality but no logos. There is an inconsistency there. How would you know quality if "does it have a logo?" is how you evaluate it?

> The amount of money I spend buying a reputable brand is well worth it given the time I save

Do you save time and money though, for real? Clothing is literally the thing that touches your body the overwhelming majority of your time and clothed is the only way the vast majority of people will ever see you. Isn't it worth taking an afternoon or a weekend and learning the fundamentals of how to look good? I mean if you want to spend a lot of money on a reputable brand and be sure of quality, try https://www.jcrew.com or if you want to be adventurous https://makia.com/

I don't see anything novel there. With millions of videos and content creators on the platform, it was statistically highly probable that one of these videos would match what he should create.

In that case, it’d probably be best to just handle deletions at the application layer (e.g., setting a “deleted_at” timestamp field with scheduled permanent deletions later).

And in terms of data compliance, it’s very important to make sure permanent deletions propagate through your backup systems within a reasonable amount of time - Google Cloud[1], for example, is ~180 days.
