Ask HN: Should we own the free stuff we pay for?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30345201Last week I received a spam email from ~generic dumb scammer #199209842982~ here it is for your amusement: https://imgur.com/YYqOgYEI've blurred the sender because it might have been a hijacked account, and it's not like it's hard to get a new gmail account anyways. You can also see that I've blurred all the other people too. Yeah, the scammer cc all his targets.I was in a good mood, so I replied and made fun of him and warned all the other recipients that, "hey, just in case you're distracted, yes this is a spam email". I didn't use any curse words, or strong language, but I was a bit edgy.Two days later, my google account was suspended. Apparently, my account was being used to send unwanted e-mails. Ha! I just became a spammer.And let me tell you, it was very frustrating to be blacklisted like this. A little context for you, I'm a DevOps engineer and I've been using gmail for the past 15 years. I'll skip the classic 'my files, my contacts, my email' because I had backups.But I lost aFeb 15, 2022 11:33 AM

Show HN: Pumbaa – A portfolio simulation tool for passive, index investmentshttps://pumbaa.app/Hi HN,About a year ago I wrote a few scripts and spreadsheets to calculate the historical performance of various passive investment portfolios. There is portfoliovisualizer.com but if you are not from the US it's less relevant because everything is calculated with respect to the US dollar, and you cannot combine funds from other countries (say from the EU).In the past month I managed to turn it into a web app with the goal of giving individuals better tools for financial education. It allows you to build a portfolio composed of a few index funds (ETFs or mutual funds) and simulate its historical performance. It currently works with 7 currencies and includes funds from the US, EU, UK, Canada and Israel. Intentionally, only broad-market, passive index funds are included.If all of this doesn't mean much to you, you can visit the examples page to get a taste of some interesting portfolios. Here is an interesting example: For the past 22 years, US long-term treasuries had very similar returFeb 11, 2022 1:15 PM

Show HN: We’re helping teams do root cause analysis with Prometheushttps://www.asserts.ai/blog/announcing-asserts/Hey HN, I’m Matt and I’m on the founding team at https://www.asserts.aiWe help teams use their Prometheus metrics to solve problems faster and remove the toil from their troubleshooting workflows. Everyone already uses dashboards and alerts, but these don’t scale well. Why not? The usual advice is to alert on symptoms but then you have to hunt for the cause of the problem by either sorting through lots of dashboards or writing PromQL queries. That gets tiresome when you’ve got a busy on-call rotation or a complex app.Here’s what we do: you send us your Prometheus metrics and we scan them to build a map of your app and infrastructure. We continuously check your metrics for common problems like resource saturation, error spikes, and so forth (we have a library of health checks but you can write your own too in PromQL.) You also set up some service level objectives so we know what’s important to you. When something goes wrong, we show you both the symptoms of the problem and all the potenFeb 9, 2022 8:07 PM

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish and Free Softwarehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30269511This is my highly opinionated but closely observed view of the rise and fall of free software.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish)In 1997 I worked at Worldcom qualifying backbone and data center routers. I wrote a tool to report on and display the health of all of the thousands of computers they could reach. I released it as free software. Eventually it was hosted on Sourceforge.My next big project in 2001 was Axiom, an IBM Research computer algebra product that I rebuilt and released as free software on Savannah, a GNU site. Later versions were released on Sourceforge, Litsoft, and eventually Github.All public work I've done is intended as "free software".The first real attack using "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" on free software was "open source", aimed at a more corporate-friendly version of free software. This is the beginning of the "Embrace" step. There have been many steps in between I'll skip.The Extend step is now in motion. Extend takes an idea and "Feb 9, 2022 6:11 AM

Show HN: Three Magic Wordshttps://www.threemagicwords.app/play/Here’s a free, fun, novel five-letter word game for the web! It’s a game I originally wrote for the iPhone in 2010, but wasn’t able to finish before my first child was born. When I left my senior web developer job in September 2021 I figured I would postpone looking for work and finish the game before another 11 years passed, and expose myself to new skills doing it (in this case, Swift). I released it on the App Store in December, then turned my attention to doing a web version — when suddenly Wordle was in The NY Times, and then everywhere.Perhaps foolishly, I plowed ahead and here we are. Like Wordle and some other NY Times word games, there is a single daily puzzle, but like traditional crossword puzzles, it gets harder throughout the week.Feb 8, 2022 1:06 PM

OneChronos is a "Smart Market" for US equities—meaning we match counterparties using mathematical optimization instead of classical human auctioneer mechanics [1]. Our flavor of Smart Market—combinatorial auctions—lets users enter orders spanning multiple securities and specify matching preferences way beyond just price and quantity.We didn't invent Smart Markets or combinatorial auctions. Roughly $1T/year flows through them in industries ranging from display advertising to telecommunications. The underlying theory was the subject of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences [2]. We're bringing them to capital markets, and we have both the customers and the regulatory clearance to do so. Our initial user base contains the household names cumulatively responsible for ≈70% of US equities trading volume.Today's market structure costs institutional investors at least a trillion dollars annually.
