Show HN: Forth – Rethinking (and improving) News Hi HN -- After a thread a couple of weeks ago (https://ift.tt/3vKJ3OM) got more attention than I expected, and someone even suggested doing a Show HN (thanks wanderingmind)-- so, here goes: We're building a network of local journalists, along with others in national verticals. Our incentive structure exists in a way to promote news people want to come back to read, not clickbait headlines, divisive or anger driving hot takes, or lowest common denominator coverage. All geared to 18-34 year olds, who are less likely to consume local news in the traditional forms, like subscribing to a local paper or watching broadcast TV. It's still early stages; but we're proving out the concept. Newsrooms are infamously understaffed, so asking them to take on another platform is usually a nonstarter. Instead, we offer free, proprietary communication tools to help the staff communicate (https://ift.tt/3vKblJ5) and that syndicates updates out automatically. As we're onboarding traditional newsroom partners, we're also pushing forward with college students (see Ithaca, NY: https://ift.tt/3BhXKcV) and also automatically publishing White House Pool Reports (https://ift.tt/3mdksyN) which are public, but difficult to obtain if you aren't in the media. I'd love to hear what you think. And as an aside/shameless plug, if you work for a newsroom or cover local news, please reach out -- we'd love to have you on board -- jared at nillium dot com.

Show HN: Launch VM workloads securely and instantaneously, without VMs Hello HN! We've been working on a new hypervisor https://kwarantine.xyz that can run strongly isolated containers. This is still a WIP, but we wanted to give the community an idea about our approach, its benefits, and various use cases it unlocks. Today, VMs are used to host containers, and make up for the lack of strong security as well as kernel isolation in containers. This work adds this missing security piece in containers. We plan on launching a free private beta soon. Meanwhile, we'd deeply appreciate any feedback, and happy to answer any questions here or on our slack channel. Thanks! April 29, 2021 at 07:50AM
