I find it a decent barometer for how much a topic is being searched for. This is relevant to determining the popularity of a search term, which relates to the popularity of a topic.
Switzerland had a similar open source solution a few years ago. Unfortunately, the train operator forced it to shutdown as it was scraping the data from the timetables. Not sure how the new solution works but I hope it sticks around.
The situation with trains (and data) in Switzerland is complicated as each Kanton has it's own rail network. In 2016 the SBB _finally_ started making it's train timetable officially available (some info on that here - https://www.itmagazine.ch/artikel/64746/Open-Data-Plattform_... ) which is I believe what this map uses, after shutting down people scraping the data.
That said, what has always irked me is they gave the data to Google as far back as 2007, while refusing to make anything available for sites like local.ch and map.search.ch (who's map was partly basis for the original Google maps). Refusing may be a leading term but certainly there was no help given to local Swiss companies, while Google already had the train times in maps.
This doesn’t match my experience. Google requires feeds to be in a specific format [1] but the feed is push from the agency. When I was intimate with the details, agencies were strongly encouraged to publish these feeds at a public url. There were all kinds of things about the format itself that might not have worked for the good folks at local.ch but access to the data is not likely to have been a problem.
There’s gotta be a compelling government interest like health or safety, right? I don’t think “crypto is useless junk” will hold up to strict scrutiny.
I believe you're correct according to the linked Github repo:
> Sloth is essentially a friendly, exploratory graphical user interface built on top of the lsof command line tool. The output of lsof is parsed and shown in a sortable, searchable outline view with all sorts of convenient additional functionality.
There should be more GUI's for the command line tools, imho. Imagine if we could get a parsable json from the cmd line tools that allows for a standard UI to be built ..
There's a cli/python utility called jc, which can parse some cmd line tool outputs (including lsof) and convert them to JSON (can also convert many file formats to JSON..)
Thank you and the others who also submitted it as originally this post was flagged. Probably because I changed the title after submitting it to "Show HN" but I am unsure.
I am glad now that I spent the time to put it on github.io and not on some old server of mine that would have been hugged to death.
You have some good points. It won't be easy. However, most DAO's the creators of the DAO usually hold the most tokens/voting rights. The DAO itself can be deployed in several different structures which will take a few first movers to lay the framework for what works well. Regarding payments it could be pay to vote or other models which I have seen out in the wild in Web3.
I can envision a proposal mechanism which pulls funds from the DAO pool to fund development for a specific feature.
