The ones using declarative blocking (like everything compatible with Safari or newer Manifest V3 web extensions for Chrome and Firefox) don't need access to your browsing context.

They're not as powerful as the ones that are able to inject content into visited pages or programmatically inspect and block/alter HTTP requests, but personally I think it's a reasonable tradeoff for the reasons you mentioned.

Chrome/Google got a very bad rep for pushing this change, and I don't want to speculate about their actual motivations, but the security aspect of it seems sound to me.

With uBlock Lite (which uses MV3), it's also possible to additionally grant "full site access" on a site by site base in case the rules-based blocking alone isn't enough; that seems ideal to me.

If possible it would be better to let India block wikipedia themselves, that way the government doesn't get to shift blame on Wikipedia. Whichever way it goes the government has a lot of control over the narrative and it's a lot harder for them to hide that it is their decision to block wikipedia completely.
Besides commercial rights, copyright also includes moral rights: the right the author has to the integrity of their work.

I kind of like the idea of allowing verbatim redistribution if the author or their estate is demonstrably not planning to make money off it, but attribution and integrity of the work should be preserved.
Ask HN: Opinion on my trading bot side project plan?
Hi,

I would like to start a side project from scratch: I want to make a cryptocurrency trading bot. This is mainly for fun and learning (junior dev here).

I'm thinking about trading on DyDx since they provide the possibility to run a node of their network to have orders broadcasted quickly.

For the moment I have started to brush up my math skills so I can start reading some literature about algo trading. Reading math is great but I feel this is not the main point. I could first make a MVP that paper trades on the exchange and when this is ready start exploring some fancy trading strategies. I feel it's going to be a long way since, for instance, I have never managed a server myself.

So, my question is what should I do first? I am thinking about leaving the theory aside for the moment and start with the following plan:

1. Renting some cheap server to get the basics of server admin, security etc.

2. At the same time read the DyDx doc to better understand their software.

3. Run their software on a server (it actually requires quite a lot of resources).

4. Create an MVP, the bot should be able to access all the information the node can provide, and place some dummy orders.
5. Create some CI/CD for the bot.

6. Read a lot of math and algo trading papers so I can improve the bot.

Would love to read any opinion on that.

Thanks!
Thank you for the feedback, this is already very useful! I will try to improve the flow and style, but that will take some time (or a human editor). I hope you’ll still find the content interesting.

Being able to make a product is one thing. Being able to sell a product to companies or investors is a completely different thing.

People spending too much on MVP do it because they don't know how to make the product. They know how to sell it and that's it.
ORM has never worked for me in any language.

Sooner or later we always hit the n+1 query problem which could only be resolved by a query builder or just plain old sql.

It always was a mess and these days I can't be bothered to try it even anymore because it has cost me a lot of hours and money.

> You fight the over-accumulation of wealth by making an inflationary environment

Inflationary environments are actually positive for these people, because it makes it easier to justify ever increasing rents.

The people that are actually harmed by inflation are employed and not particularly rich, so they keep their savings in cash, essentially. (Both their wages and their savings get devalued every year, making large purchases to get out of these toxic spirals ever harder)

For the same reason wealth taxes don't really work either... unless you revamp the entire tax system and somehow found a way to make rent seeking unviable (I.e. exponentially increasing property taxes by quantity owned). I'm honestly not sure how that's gonna be possible however, it's too ingrained into our markets and the consequences of such changes would likely be extremely unpredictable

Honestly, these days, with domains in general being nearly free compared to the profit potential of a single successful spammer grift, I’m not sure I even see the point of blacklisting domains at all. 25 years ago maybe a spammer would be devastated that he had to “start all over and buy a new domain and build up its reputation.” Now, spammers launch and abandon what, a million new domains a day? Google or anyone spitefully holding onto hard feelings about what a domain “did” years ago is pointless because the spammers will move on anyway. They wouldn’t reuse abcqwertuiop26abc dot xyz anyway because it’s safer to make up a new gibberish domain anyway. Only people who acquire domains legitimately are hurt by this.

I would want to experiment judging them based on what they’ve been seen to do in the past month.

Could you spell out the exact relevant conditions that you believe disqualify someone from delivering a "lesson on ethics"? It seems a priori unlikely that you could find criteria that are not obviously tortured and self-serving while also granting this qualification to a typical US citizen, especially one who has worked for any major tech company (as is the case for many posters here).

In the end, the mini was killed because it didn’t sell well. As much as I personally liked the size, if no one else is buying them I can’t exactly fault Apple too much for the decision they made.

The problem with the mini wasn’t the size of the phone I suspect, but the size of the battery. Even if a customer liked the size, they may not have been willing to take a significant battery life tradeoff for it.

> why is online music of such low value?

Partly because it's such low cost to produce.

A single episode of television requires hundreds of people working for a couple weeks minimum and costs from hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions.

How much does effort does it take to write and record a song? It's closer to a handful of people. And it's usually measured in thousands of dollars, not hundreds of thousands or millions.

A few hit artists spend more because they can afford to, but even that still doesn't compare at all with hit TV/movies.

> For a number of years, a friend of mine has had a '99 Plymouth Prowler. If I were to base car popularity based solely on people coming up to ask about the car, his would win hands down and you'd assume (naturally) that Plymouth just couldn't manufacture enough to keep up with demand. There's a huge difference between attention-grabbing looks to a vehicle that will have people stop you and ask about it and what people will actually buy when it comes time to buy their next car.

You should give sashank_1509 enough credit to be able to distinguish between the jokey/mocking questions your friend's Prowler gets, and the enthusiastic ones he reports receiving.

>It's tempting to point to its position as #3 overall as an overwhelming success

There is no other way to spin a $100K car being the #3 overall EV vehicle of any type other than a success, especially given that a) #1 and #2 are also Tesla vehicles, and b) one of them was the world's best-selling car of any kind, EV or not, in 2023.
As someone who's working in gamedev but never ever considered Odin I think that Odin might get more attention if there will be a well known project that is a)open b)good fit for Odin c) not too simplistic. I do not think a game project can be that open but something smaller might do. A project like this would make it clear how language tools work, all integrations and interoperability with languages and libraries look like and such. Even basic questions on build systems and text editor autocomplete setups may throw off hobby devs. Without a hobby project I feel a pro will not have enough information to evaluate language in production environment.

Et tu, toasty?

As time passes, the more I feel a minority in adoring rust, while detesting Async. I have attempted it a number of times, but it seems incompatible with my brain's idea of structure. Not asynchronous or concurrent programming, but Async/Await in rust. It appears that most of the networking libraries have committed to this path, and embedded it moving in its direction.

I bring this up because a main reason for my distaste is Async's incompatibility with non-Async. I also bring this up because lack of a Django or SQLAlchemy-style ORM is one reason I continue to write web applications in Python.
I dislike how Spotify is seen as evil when they charge a low price people can actually afford, and pay almost all of it in artist royalties. They make music accessible and affordable, and actually provide a path for new artists to get music out there without having to sign awful recording industry contracts- which are the real reason most musicians don’t actually get much of the money fans spend. It can help you discover a new artist you have never heard of, and they actually get paid each time you listen to them- pretty amazing really.
The really bad actors just buy and discard new domains daily and silly blacklisting techniques are powerless to prevent that. I don’t think they renew and come back to try to use their domains years later.

See the movie "The Corporation", which compares corporations to psychopaths; they're very similar in that corporations don't have a conscience.

Corporations, IMO, should not be involved in politics at all - only real people. Rich people would still have more influence over political decisions, but not to the extent that rich corporations do now.
In fact streaming is what saved the music industry from piracy. Total industry revenue in the USA peaked in 1999 and was on a steady decline since then all the way till the mid 2010s. It only then recovered when steaming became a thing, and now revenue has finally surpassed those highs and is seeing record growth YoY.
So like less than a tenth of one percent of the US coastline. Literally so uncommon in the US I'd have to go well out of my way to find a section of beach where this is applicable.
I think people still love music but the economic value has been destroyed first by piracy then by the various efforts to make distribution easier than piracy, like youtube or spotify. For me personally the value of books have also gone away due to Anna's Archive and #ebooks on irchighway but YMMV.

I think the value of music and books will soon go to 0 though because of AI.
> Perhaps Spotify overheads are too high,

Its says 70% of revenues, so even if they reduced overheads and their profit to zero artists would only get 42% more.

> perhaps that 70% goes to the wrong people.

Possibly. Who are the wrong and right people? Some people get a lot:

I think it should be possible to create a compiler which transforms arbitrary sql queries into a set of triggers and temporary tables to get incremental materialized views which are just normal tables. Those can be indexed, joined etc. no extra services needed. Such an approach should in theory work for multiple relational database systems if it's all adhering to standards.

I assume nodes capable of interacting via activity pub? Good question - if a server uses activity pub but not in a way that's compatible with say mastodon (e.g. they use notes for a different purpose), then does this count or not?

I think framing social networks with metrics like number of nodes or active daily users is inadequate and only designed to appeal to some VC/founder mode bros.

My stint as a EU McD worker did give me a feel of how well scripted low skill labour can feel like pleasant work. I didn’t appreciate it at the time but it was six sigma checklist everything. There is a magic to smooth operation. In all my other jobs (dishwasher, mechanic, cleaner and now 20 yrs in insurance) nobody came close to the McD smoothness of operations. I hope I bring some of this smoothness to the people working in my lines of operation. I’m going to ask them!
> It's the only way people listen to music - there's nothing else

It’s far from the only way people listen to music. I listen to music on FM radio way more than I do free streaming services (mostly Amazon music’s free tier) for the overwhelmingly majority (essentially all) of my music consumption, and have no user-paid subscriptions. Both are ad-supported and probably pay little to artists, similar to paid streaming.
It's possibly worth mentioning that Java is getting a vector API which explicitly abstracts over some of the details of SIMD, including width. You have a type Vector<T> which represents enough of some type T to fill a vector register (eg eight 32-bit numbers in a 256-bit register), operations on Vector<T> which produce another Vector<T>, and some way to break arrays up into Vectors of the right size for the platform. The API is a bit clunky, but you write code with it, the compiler performs a miracle, and efficient platform-specific vector code comes out.

Depends on the product.

I worked on a search engine for patents, for instance, where “minimum viable” meant “better than the competition” and it is not crazy for this to take 2-3 years of several FTE. Had we been smarter about it I think we could have cut the cost by 30% maybe 50% in fact I got it out the door half a year earlier because they let go of some features.

For run of the mill application work we badly need no code/low code (shocked how long it took to complete a moderately complex form app) but there is a very high bar for a product like that to clear. For instance I did an accessibility audit of the form app and found the framework we used shoved in h6 elements without using h5. If your low code tool does that and it is a hassle to fix it then it fails.

So that’s a product where the “minimal” product again is not so minimal.
My exact thought. 50-90% of an artist's revenue goes to record labels. They then run PR campaigns blaming services like Spotify for the problem.

Source? From everything I've read, BlueSky made a theoretically federated protocol, pulled millions of users onto its single central instance, then refused to enable federation in any meaningful way, so you're either on the central instance or you're effectively on some other platform that is separate from BlueSky and is shit. (Meanwhile on Mastodon, there are so many instances and no clear center - not even mastodon.social, since I block that one and rarely notice any loss)

You could even say it started with things like Thomas Paine's pamphlet propaganda.

It seems the problem is we have a system that was born from the printing press and this system simply doesn't work in the age of the internet.

All that really holds it together are these religious sentiments about the inherent good of democracy. Sentiments that have almost nothing to do with lived experience at this point.

It seems to me because of the scaling properties, the internet finds an issue free equilibrium of "vote for me because the other person sucks."

Then it is just a race to get the most views on how much the opponent sucks.
True. But if you look at Harris's platform, it's not very ground-breaking, honestly. It's mostly just par for the course. A fair portion of the reason my family is voting for them is because Trump is a danger to democracy. Frankly, I'd barely looked at her platform - I just knew Trump had tried to destroy American democracy, and that is all that matters.

I don't know how many people are genuinely enthused about her platform. Mostly it feels like it's fueled by hating Trump's platform and Trump (which, to be clear, is a valid reason!). I guess I should have been clearer - I meant that they're voting Harris not because her platform is great (honestly it seems about average for Democratic candidates), but because they dislike Trump's platform and Trump himself. They don't really care what Harris is proposing, as long as it's vaguely reasonable.
