Show HN: CantonPay – registration-free Stellar payment linkshttps://cantonpay.online

I built CantonPay because I wanted a simple way to accept Stellar payments without creating a merchant account. You can create a payment link without registering, send it to someone, and receive the payment directly to your Stellar wallet. It also has an API and webhooks for integrating payments into an application. The current version is running on Stellar Testnet, so there’s no real money involved. I’d especially like feedback from developers who have built payment flows on Stellar. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49635070 Points: 1 # Comments: 0

DIFF: A Relational Interface for Large-Scale Data Explanationhttps://andrewxiwu.github.io/public/papers/2019/macrobase-sql-VLDB2019.pdf

Abstract: A range of explanation engines assist data analysts by performing feature selection over increasingly high-volume and high-dimensional data, grouping and highlighting commonalities among data points. While useful in diverse tasks such as user behavior analytics, opera- tional event processing, and root cause analysis, today’s explanation engines are designed as standalone data processing tools that do not interoperate with traditional, SQL-based analytics workflows; this limits the applicability and extensibility of these engines. In response, we propose the DIFF operator, a relat…
