Another idea: an online json editor
There's seems to have a lot of news crawler APIs lately, a quite google and found these:

[1] https://currentsapi.services/en/product/price

[2] https://aylien.com/news-api/

[3] https://www.cityfalcon.com/products/api/financial-news

What does the normalized news means? Able to query from a predefined RSS feed? Because I was expecting news coverage from different partisan source pointing to the same news event.
I wish to see some kind of encryption and token access for each module. A quick glance of the setup.py, it seems to rely on appdirs to store user data unencrypted?
Re:Nubia: A SoTA evaluation metric for text generation on Saturday May 02, 2020 @11:10AM (#23052185)
Based on your paper, it seems you didn't compare to other model based evaluation method such as Frechet Embedding Distance (FED). I would certainly like to see correlation study between each model evaluation method.
As someone who thinker with Text to Speech (TTS), I can say this apply to TTS as well. Good model such as Tacotron2 rarely scale beyond clean ( good text and speech alignmen ) large ( > 12 hours ) datasets.
Re:Ask HN: Will this be the end of Airbnb? on Saturday March 28, 2020 @11:12AM (#22711593)
Just sharing my friend experience, she had to end her exchange study early from Europe (due to recent escalation) and back to Taiwan. My friend however, wasn't a Taiwanese and require a place for her 14 days self isolation. She ended up finding an Airbnb willing to host her during the self isolation period (hotel usually have a central ventilation which isn't optimal for self isolation).

Totally agree, back in 2012 Intel, TSMC, Samsung pool together roughly 5 billions of investment [1] in ASML to manufacture the EUV machines needed to manufacture 5nm today.

A global recession is expected to happen this year due to coronavirus [1,2]. So it reminded me of this "trend" during the 2008 recession.

A similar discussion can be found here [1] as well which also got to front page as well. The content is strikingly similar : detail OCR introduction and goes to API introduction.

Re:The Future of War Technology on Thursday December 12, 2019 @06:08AM (#21770908)
Probably what he means are weapons used in black ops and special ops. For example the assault on the Osama hideout in 2011. But I think the more significant version are subsonic weapon fueling for proxy wars in Middle East.
When I started using buy me a coffee(6 months ago?), the payment portal was Payoneer. Is my payment portal still valid or I need to migrate to Paypal/Stripe?
