Domain Auctioning Website
Hey guys, I had an idea to build a domain auctioning website as I'm sure like me a lot of people are fed up with the current domain auction websites, the leading domain auction site such as godaddy, sudo and others are so worst in so many aspects that I hate using them.

So I'm considering building it myself, domain auctions with help of escrow in between, and I'm looking for feedback and opinions from you guys on whether I should pursue this or not.

The idea is to provide a secure and reliable way for bidders and auction listers to transfer domain ownership and payment. The escrow service would hold the payment from the bidder until the domain transfer is complete, and then release the payment to the lister.

Here are some of the key features I'm considering:

* Secure payment sending and receiving through a trusted platform like (escrowdotcom)

* Verification of both the bidder and lister to ensure a smooth and fraud-free transaction.

* A user-friendly interface for managing auctions, bids, and payments

* Limiting the listings spam and overcrowding with junk domains by ensuring listers are asked to pay per day listing fee (like few cents/day).

* Limit the bidders from spamming/creating fake accounts from listers to hike offers through asking them to pledge a minimum from their wallet before making a bid (also minimal fee) and if they don't win the bid the pledge will be sent back to their wallets.

* Offer better customer service.

Any feedback or opinions you have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Why did you choose gold as an example? How about a sword? Claiming that physical and intellectual property are the same is reductionistic at best. The fact that both properties are protected by power doesn't mean that they are the same. Physical property is not copyable. Intellectual property is.
If you want a non-simulated memoir of someone's PhD, I highly recommend reading "The PhD Grind" by Philip Guo.. [0]

I read it in my last year of college. It was a page turner, and helped me think about whether I wanted to do a PhD.

There used to be brick-and-mortar electronic distributors all over Silicon Valley. They're gone. Not just Fry's. More serious places. Now we have online ordering, and all those little stocking distributors just can't compete. Mouser and Digi-Key are the way to go.
The last things I bought at Halted were some open-frame 120VDC power supplies.

The article discusses this: while there are some superficial similarities, the drivers ture out to be different, not similar, between human and murine populations.

To usefully do any such studies you’d need to develop a model supporting the thesis that there are useful and predictive parallels between the two species for the area you wanted to study. Which would involve other, different, murine and human studies.

I think it would be possible to get IRB approval for such studies after doing the enabling studies. But I’m not sure how to even design such enabling studies.
Sure, it perfectly sets the market clearing price at all times, but it has the inefficiency that the performer can end up with only a fraction of the total amount the attendees are willing to pay. All those middlemen add value not in a way that feels fair, like collecting a percentage fee. Rather, they get all the upside whenever popular shows sell out. I can see why artists don't like that.
The follow up with Rat Utopia addressed several of the issues with the mouse study.

More interesting was the final follow up selective-breeding study with "The Beautiful Ones". As Dr. Calhoun wanted to determine if the cognitive decline would persist in successive generations even when placed in a new unconstrained exploitation phase setting again.

The process was not reversible, and remained degenerative in offspring. Accordingly, I found this work greatly affected how I processed neuroscience material, and viewed violent behavior.

A lot of data people use Anaconda. Anaconda is sooo slow. Even on a very beefy workstation, Anaconda often needs > 10 mins to solve an environment, and often fails. I would be excited to try something without these issues.
>you can get hired and call yourself a "programmer" after a year of training today

That might be true 3 or 4 years ago, but I find that difficult to believe in the current job market. All the programming jobs that have come across my screen lately require a 4-year CS degree. Companies aren't hiring noobs lately. They're laying off more than hiring.
Thank you for your contribution. This is a great piece of FOSS!

Ask HN: Feedback on my life expectancy tracking startup
I am creating a web app where you input your details/habits/activity (date of birth, gender, exercise, drink/smoke, diet, etc) to track your life expectancy and see how it increases or decreases as you change your lifestyle. Would you consider subscribing to something like this and what are your thoughts?
If you are starting a new App, you should find it quite easy to get going with SwiftUI. Once you get the hang of it, you can really appreciate the simplicity for doing most things, especially when compared with the way things were, and still are the done in UIKit with UIViewControllers (viewDidLoad, willSomethingOrOther); but some other things you can find to be tricky.

The documentation is fair enough within Xcode to figure most things out by yourself, but there are plenty of resources online when you feel like needing some help.

I like the updates they are doing to Swift Data for the next round of OS updates, these should make things even easier and more straight forward to build certain Apps.

But yes, there are things to watch out for, make sure you learn the foundations well (e.g. @Observable, @State, modifiers), or you may find some unexpected things happening with no clear explanation.

Also keep in mind that not everything available in UIKit is available in SwiftUI, but there is plenty to cover lots of use cases nowadays.

You can also do some SwiftUI stuff outside Macs, there was this effort to bring SwiftUI to terminal, as in Linux. Ashen was the name of the project, but I believe that it hasn't received many updates lately. There are also recent efforts for Gnome if I remember well. And there are also some other general Swift updates that are very interesting, like Swift for micro-controllers or whatever they are calling it, and being able to create static Linux binaries (and do so directly from your very own Mac) without any dependencies that can run on any distro (or so they said IIRC), and built with musl for good measure apparently... again, or so they mentioned in one of the WWDC videos.

So... not so bad, but with all that said, I would like to add that, I really would prefer not to have any AI forced into any of my devices with the next update.
Watching them a long time, too many coincidences. Looks like fire-and-motion, make yourself the standard then make it hard to deviate or to keep up. If it’s not intentional, it’s incredibly damn convenient.
From your source: Cataluña, Población 7.710.136 personas, Emigrantes 61.597 personas, Inmigrantes 102.420 personas - https://www.epdata.es/datos/poblacion-inmigrantes-emigrantes...

"The most-visited region of Spain was Catalonia, with 18 million foreign visitors. Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia." "The coastal city alone, with its many internationally famous sites such as La Sagrada Familia, received more than 12 million tourists last year." https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-07-09/why-are-people-protes...

40K net immigration/year is much smaller than 18 million.

Even if those 18 million are in Catalonia for only a day, that's still 49K people.

Halted was an electronics surplus store. A really good one. They had old tubes, old ICs, stuff left over from Atari. They had aisles of capacitors, some with date codes in the mid '80s, and newer surface mount stuff. They had a whole wall of 1/4 W resistors at two cents a piece. They had all kinds of random parts for keeping old electronics running, and making new stuff. And they had a receipt for an oscilloscope they sold in the '60s to some kid in Palo Alto named Steve Jobs.

Unfortunately, the owner retired and sold it off for parts.
In sentences like "The last thing the US wants to see is for China to close the technology gap on this stuff", China is referring to the PRC. In sentences like "you may not be aware of this, but tsmc is a chinese company", China is referring to Taiwan. It is disingenuous to conflate these.

I'm actually working on a sideproject right now that can work as a Windows Explorer replacement with Everything as an indexer in the background. Among other things, this provides advantages such as that you can create virtual folders in the operating system that are based on everything queries. The latest thing I'm working on right now is being able to use plain text for searches by having an LLM AI translate plain text into everything queries.

I switched to Umami for now because the Plausible developers were totally disinterested in fixing bugs that silently dropped data.

These are still JavaScript solutions, so if their JS code is broked then you just don't get the data. You end up with unknown unknowns.

The only truly reliable data you can get is from your server logs, and obviously you are limited by whatever the browser gives you in the request.
We use Plausible but have found it quite slow for our needs.

In short commit is your stage.

It’s expected that you look at the commits before you push, the same as you do with staging. If you’d just "commit -am" the results would be the same.

And since a commit can branch you can have a multiple (conceptual) stages.

Jujutsu respects gitignore but cannot be told to not track in-file changes. Annoying when your peers commit customization files into the repository.

It was disgusting for me to answer on the first question about the simple iteration in Python, because I know the content of the hint by heart but how slow is unknown for me script language on some unknown hardware? My answer was 1M because in the one second of running an empty loop there is going to be some time for compilation of the code or we are just testing the speed of cache. We anyway are going to test the compiler's smartness than anything else. The "real" answer is 103M.

The entire difference is whether or not you have to type "if err != nil { return err }" repeatedly. Some languages force you to handle exceptions, and some force you to handle non-exception errors.
It’s great. Maybe we can turn it against OpenAI as established precedent if it happens

Hahaha. But seriously - remembering some things does not disqualify you from the diagnosis, just like not remembering doesn't confirm the diagnosis. If you're actually concerned, maybe talk to a professional.

I hear you man. The fact that a `byte` in ROS's bootleg protobuf is actually signed, and `string` is ASCII-only means that if you want to send a file or binary blob you have to use a `uint8[]`, which of course C++ will turn into a `std::vector<uint8_t>`. Good luck turning that into a proper `std::string` without an extra copy. And don't get me started on the comically scattered documentation for any basic use case that only ChatGPT can seem to make sense of. Better yet, the complete insanity that is node parameters - ever heard of reading from a file? Can't believe anyone takes this seriously.

ZeroMQ, protobuf, and a little thought would go a long way at our org.

I'm more-or-less just a dumb user in these matters, but I've been using Linux to boot Linux with my semi-elaborate desktop rig because that's how ZFSBootMenu[0] do. Keeping [fairly] quiet about unnecessary hardware (like nVidia drivers) during this bootloader phase seems to be doing the trick for me.

Or, at least: I certainly didn't have to do anything to the kernel for it to work. I'm just running whatever Void Linux is rolling with right now.

That's true.

Also, I think I seen that Macarena article. : ) It suggested to extend the research to primates and Spice Girls and finding songs that cure the damage of Macarena.
I think CPython does reference counting for its memory management, it still has to run a GC since reference counting does not handle reference cycles.

I don't disagree. But I have kind of the opposite take.

I can't count how many times I've seen simple code get turned into a hideously complex declarative language that has serious gaps.

Simple UI library code? Turn it into a custom declarative syntax that is now limited!

Simple build system that works and is debuggable? Turn it into a declarative syntax that can't be debugged and can't handle all the edge cases!

And so on and so forth.

I will admit that the idea of a font programming language sounds genuinely awful to me. So I don't really disagree with your premise. But I'm increasingly annoyed with declarative system when vanilla code is often simpler, more flexible, and more powerful (by necessity). :)
That's definitely an option I would add, where the auction lister can set a starting bid/minimum bidding and buy now price.
I've been trying to level up my pop sci medical reading the last few months, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that our understanding of the human body, how it works and how to fix it, is really still very basic. On the one hand, it's somewhat depressing how little we know and how blunt our tools remain. On the other, it's very exciting just how much of the field remains, frankly, wide open.

There's several medical revolutions just waiting to happen. The next few decades will, hopefully, be very interesting. If I was a young man, I would definitely be getting into biotechnology.
Well.. the project wasn’t intended to be an acoustic recording device for biologists. It was intended to be a microphone addition to a security project I have that would dynamically merge audio with video. Something you can’t do with microcontrollers.

But along the way, I added a GPS to keep the time accurate and then with the sub-microsecond time accuracy I thought of sound localization. So I developed it further into a sound localizing recorder with in principle enough time accuracy to localize bats that are close even.

With the power of a pi and sub-microsecond clock timing, coupled with a linkage into jackd that can support multiple consumers, you can both record and still have enough CPU to on principle perform real time bird recognition and localization. That is not going to be possible on a microcontroller.

With this project I have been able to localize explosions to less than 20m accuracy from microphones located more than 3km away. Again not something possible on microcontrollers.

The setup of the author is at his own home. Which means that in principle he’s not constrained by power. With that’s setup by adding icecast2 and darkice. Whilst still recording and not needing a big host host computer. Likely even better with go2rtc. Next on my list to try.
Two data points are statistically insignificant. It’s definitely not rational. As you said, it’s a beginning, but it’s not rational to state blanket statements even then.

> The media has covered the training (or lack of it) extensively.

I've never seen it in the media. Not knowing what the stab trim cutoff switch does is a massive failure either on the part of the pilot or the training. Not reading the Emergency Airworthiness Directive is a failure of the pilot.

> It seems like you want to point to a singular cause

Au contraire. It seems that everyone but me wants to blame a singular cause - Boeing. There was a cascade of failure here:

1. A defective AOA sensor was manufactured and installed

2. After the first LA incident landed safely, LA failed to correct the problem before sending the airplane aloft again

3. Single path MCAS inputs could not detect failure

4. Pilots failed to apply known emergency procedures

> require humans to act perfectly in accordance with their training, all the time.

Of course we try to design airplanes so they do not cause emergencies. But we still need pilots to train to react to emergencies. You don't put a person in the pilot seat who is not well-trained in emergency procedures.

Making airplane travel safe means identify and correct ALL causes in the cascade of failures. Most accidents are a combination of airplane failure and pilot failure.

Sometimes pilots make deadly mistakes. That's why we have copilots, they check each other. But in the MAX crashes, both pilot and copilot failed to follow known emergency procedures. Why they didn't, I have no idea.
First couple of years of my working life I did FEM analysis for a small but exquisite aerospace engineering firm in Germany. We were as far away from any launch in the whole development chain as on can imagine.

Yet all kinds of people found us by the company name and called with a wide variety of space related questions. Amongst them a fair share of wierdos, but not only.

Once a lovely old lady called because she needed help organizing a trip for her and her husband to watch a space shuttle launch as a birthday present for him. Unfortunately I could not help her but I really hope her plan panned out.
> Stylometric analysis shows this to be the same person with a high degree of probability.

Sounds like this is a new technique unproven to the high standards really needed for legal evidence.

The "anything plausible sounding goes" approach is already a problem for other widely used types of "evidence".

Those need to be stamped out too, not have new unproven crap added, making the problem worse.
> What if people want to grow food, does that then justify stealing it?

Maybe it does justify, if stealing doesn't mean depriving the owner of the food.

I want to create IP for free, but I don't have a surplus of time to create it. IP holders deprive me of the surplus, because it's going to reduce the value of their “property” if I create IP for free.
