mamikonyanaon Show HN: Online Learning Resources for Homeschooling

This seems like really good list. Any idea about the methodilogy used?

P.S. I wish there was a list like this for adults given the current situation.

why don't you guys use extended public keys instead of creating the smart contracts? wouldn't that allow the deposit of tokens to different addresses?

mamikonyanaon A historian unpacks the origins of our plastic addiction

> The impact of plastic bottles is probably lower than for alternatives like glass. Glass is heavier and causes more CO2 emissions because of the increased energy use for transporting them.

I'm curious about this, any chance you have references?

SEEKING WORK | Yerevan, Armenia | remote

We are a 2 year old startup focused on applying ML algorithms to finance, i.e. we do ML, algorithmic trading, etc. We have also done some freelancing work related to long term financial market predictions for retirement planning.

Currently we are trying to pivot, and looking for related projects in algorithmic trading, or ML applications to time series.

We mostly work with python (django for our website, and visualizations), we have also done minor work with c family languages.

mamikonyanaon A Soviet-era airport, once the height of luxury, faces demolition in Armenia

I was always surprised how little people care in Armenia about the old airport. Imagine you land in an airport that is nothing like all the other "conventional" airports with high ceilings and huge open areas. Wouldn't you want to just fly to Armenia if your experience starts in a museum like airport? Probably Armenians would not care too much to frequent in the old terminal, but it could be a nice turist attraction, no?

It is technically still part of the airport, so it's private property and you can't enter there. Haven't tried how tight the security is myself.

The old Terminal is really small, but the new terminal is not that much bigger. Having flowed out of both I don't think the size is the problem. The problem is lack of desire to invest (probably justifird financially) in presercing the building.

mamikonyanaon ContinuouSQL Triggers

Couple of questions:

- If the trigger function hits a service that takes a long time to respond, how does that affect the system?

- Why did you have to reimplement trigger functions, what was the problem with using trigger functions for tables on continuous views?

When you say adding more online algorithms, is that mostly going to be limited to adding more probabilistic data structures?
