Ask HN: Rural Rentals for Remote Workers

I have a single rural rental property that I want to market to SWEs or similar remote-only knowledge workers, particularly those looking to relocate from an urban location and get (far) away from it all. For context, I manage the property from next door for my out-of-state parents; it's a truly idyllic place to live and work.

I expect that I am not alone in either having such a property to rent or desiring to find such a place to live, so I suspect that niche services exist for these demographics. I have looked around, but the options are overwhelmingly diverse.

As I respect and value the HN community's perspective and opinion, where would you be looking for such a property?

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: DTL: a language and JavaScript lib to transform and manipulate data

Show HN: DTL: a language and JavaScript lib to transform and manipulate data
15 by jk0ne | 1 comments on Hacker News.
DTL is a project that began it's life as part of a another piece of software for a startup I founded a few years ago. For that project I needed a way to describe how to rewrite data in a portable way. I needed to be able to create the rules on the fly and store them in a database, I needed them to be able to describe transformations I hadn't thought about, but also needed them to be safe and predictable. Though the startup didn't survive, the language I made was so useful to me I felt I had to extract it and make it usable to everyone. DTL is the result. Though the npm module is relatively new, the language itself has been in use in production systems for years. Over the past couple of years I have been working to make it more accessible and useful to newcomers. Though it's really powerful, I tried to make it easy to use and simple to understand so that you can get up to speed quickly and use only as much as you need. To summarize: DTL is a javascript module and related CLI tools that are really handy for transforming data from one format to another. It's made to allow you to specify your transformations as data (JSON by default) which means they are easily shared from frontend to backend and vice versa, as well as making them easily stored in databases, etc. It can be used as part of your project to transform data between APIs, between the frontend and your database, etc. and can do simple mappings as well as complex calculations. It can also be used for validation and is really handy for extracting useful information from large / complex datasets (there are some great examples of this you can try on the website). The CLI tool (dtl) is like jq on sterooids, allowing you to slice, dice and remap csv, yaml, json or even plaintext data doing anything you can describe in a DTL transform. If you ever wished you could `grep` in complex data structures, today is your lucky day. :) I'd love any feedback you have and if you think of anything it doesn't have that it should, I'd love to hear that too.

Education tech – how to fund?

We built an AI tool to help graduate students learn and professors teach.

Profs at two universities keep reusing it and it surveys well with students.

I can't figure out how to get a school to pay for it. Admins dismiss it as a toy. The profs say they would pay, but that there isn't a budget. Students don't get a vote.

The application could be massively improved, and is already helping students learn important topics.

How do I figure out how to pay for development?

Ask HN: What Happened to Airbnb Pricing?

I recall back when AirBnB was growing (circa 2013-2015 in my mind) the appeal was primarily price. Yes, there were conveniences around having an individual place, etc, but I recall most AirBnBs being priced well below hotels of roughly equal quality.

When I look now, it is often cheaper to stay in a hotel than an AirBnB of roughly equal quality, sometimes significantly so. This pattern has held in at least 10 major/minor US cities I’ve used over at least the past year.

What economic forces are at work to cause this?

Anyone else feel this? Maybe it's just me.

Tell HN: OpenBB scraping GitHub emails for marketing spam

A recent post[0] went around about OpenBB. I starred their GitHub[1] repository because I was interested and now I've just received an email[2] thanking me for signing up for their newsletter.

Look, I hate to call the project out but I'm tired of people scraping GitHub for emails and blasting out marketing spam. And I'm confident they scraped my email from GitHub because that's the only place 'github@mydomain.com' is used.
