k-ian··on Ask HN: What cryptocurrencies do you believe are going to 'blow up' next?
Since no one's actually answering the question here:

- Stellar Lumens has been doing well recently, IBM recently created a bunch of Stellar full nodes and will be using it as part of a banking on blockchain project

- SALT Lending is a cool new project that has started, where people can lend out their cryptocurrency in exchange for cash. If you default, the lender keeps the coins; if you pay back, you get the coins back, even if the value had gone up

- Zclassic recently re-started active development and seems to be doing well. The main devs are trying to get the community onboard with a hard fork, and I think it could do well if it actually takes off

- Metal Pay is a solid payment processor startup that I think could do well over the next few months

It's hard to find the right thing to invest in. I'd say pick 2-3 projects and buy some of their tokens, and don't sell at a loss unless the project is doing really badly.

k-ian··on Yemen's cholera outbreak now the worst in history as millionth case looms

This crisis is entirely man-made. Saudis are crushing the Houthi rebels, indifferent to civlian starvation and disease.

Nice, Guardian. Only a passing mention of the civil war that has led to all this. The US and UK need to stop funding Saudi Arabia's military in order for this to stop happening in Yemen.
