Show HN: Directly query 100M+ raw records of cleaned, refreshed financial data
There are a lot of APIs that provide access to these types of data, but there were not any (as far as we're aware of) tools & services that provide access to query the raw data directly for analytical purposes.We get the data across different sources and clean, schematize them in a PostgreSQL databases so folks can query/analyze the data directly. We have ~100 tables of data across stocks,...

Hey all, we previously worked at large tech companies where we had in-house org charts that the company had built, and they were extremely useful. Simple UIs, fast, relevant up-to-date info. We would use them multiple times a day to quickly lookup which team a teammate is in, who their manager might be and their peers.
We really wanted to replicate this experience somehow and make the experience of searching teammates within a company good for every company out there. We started by looking into Slack since we saw a good amount of companies using Slack for their day to day communication channel. We've started off by building an org chat where you can lookup teammates directly within Slack.
Some tidbits of what we have: - You can look up your teammates, their managers and their reports directly within Slack (no going to a separate website, etc.) - You can manage / edit your org chart directly within Slack as well - Employee info is pulled directly from Slack profiles so no initial effort filing up your employee info - We also support importing data from other tools such as Google Workplace, Microsoft 365, Microsoft Azure Active Directory, and more as needed.
Would be great to get some feedback from folks here.

Re:Uber Posts $5.2B Loss and Slowest Ever Growth Rate

I never understood why people thought self driving cars would lift Uber out of their miseries. Even if they do make it more profitable (although it's not as trivial as you mention), they would also be in a much more competitive landscape compared to the duopoly situation they have now. The costs might go down, but it doesn't mean they would be able to maintain their market share.

$4B and $3B is for the whole years of 2017 and 2018. $1.3B is just for this quarter.

> It's pretty easy for people who care to "turn off read receipts" by disabling images or blocking it through proxy/vpn/whatever.
Setting aside the difficulty, being pressured to disable a generic feature (image loading) for a degenerate use case of that feature (user tracking) is annoying.
Ask HN: Some good engineering blogs that go through the design process?
Are there any good engineering (company or community based) blogs that delve into the design process while building their systems/products?I'd like to understand how teams compare tradeoffs, handle technical difficulties while designing systems for their products.
Ask HN: What's preventing us from achieving seamless video communication?
Better video compression? faster network speeds? alternative network protocols?With all due respect to all the amazing folks working in the domain, as a person working outside the field, the quality of even 1:1 video communication still seems far from ideal.Wanted to understand a bit what the main underlying hurdles are. Folks say there's less room for improvements with compression after H.264....

i personally like it, it's cleaner and there's more whitespace that helps with readability.

Re:Ask HN: What would it take to rate the web?

Yep, my focus was building it for SaaS services. It just so happened to be that the method of least resistance for something to get rolling, in my mind, was to do it via a browser extension.
At that point, it seemed more difficult to filter out websites that wouldn't fit into this category, hence the question: why not everything?
Your points on passion is valid though. Maybe folks just don't care enough about the web. I do think they do care about the services provided on the web though.
Ask HN: What would it take to rate the web?
My need came from browsing services online, and the annoyance of having to go through blogs, other websites, personal references to get a sense of how good, and still “relevant”, those services are. Then came the thought, what would it take to have something like Yelp for websites?Ended up starting a simple project over the week with that in mind [1], but wanted to discuss with others here...
