The "Show HN" for https://Artpacks.org (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8962810) got 111 points, hit #2, and stayed on the front page for most of the day it launched (and part of the following day).

Over that two-day span, Google Analytics shows: 4,475 Sessions, 4,365 Users, 72,851 Pageviews.

Hourly pageviews peaked at 10,251, according to GA.

https://artpacks.org is an art project/collection rather than a startup/product, so YMMV.

This is certainly how dieting works for me.

I do much better when on an "extreme" diet. I feel like I don't have to exercise any willpower, I just eat what I planned to eat and in six months I have a six-pack.

It's so much more draining for me to exercise restraint at restaurants and with snacks than it is to just never darken their doors and banish them from my cupboard.

Is there a reason that tax couldn't be imposed on the buyer, collected by Google at time of "sale" (click through by customer on ad), and remitted to the government, regardless of buyer origin? In other words, if I live in Montana (no sales tax) and I pay Google to display ads in Spain, I don't see a good reason to not have to pay Spain's "sales tax" (or whatever we're calling it) on those ads. I don't see why it should matter where the ad buyer lives, or where the ad clicker lives. I'm paying an entity in Spain, therefore the entity in Spain is taxed (and that higher cost ultimately flows back to me, the buyer). Or am I not really paying the Spanish entity when I buy those ads?
Go away from this "co-founder"!

1) If you are tech co-founder, then he has to be a marketing & sales co-founder. You no need second tech founder in most cases.

2) The roles of each founders in a startup have to be defined before you've started.

3) "He wants to outsource all development to India" - that's a VERY BAD idea.

Good Luck!

"perfect" security does not exist.

For that matter, I think what "perfect security" could be like is the world in Orwell's 1984 --- definitely not something I'd want existing either.

If anyone is interested when the author talked about an overview of the iOS security measures, I created a more in-depth review that is an easy read and gives you a good over-view of the security architecture used. I'm happy to hear feedback if you enjoy it. The blog can be found at: https://woumn.wordpress.com/2016/05/02/security-principles-i...
Like a marriage, you should be in sync with your founder/partner. Anger, evasiveness, defensiveness when planning for the future are all red flags.

In fact I've usually had trouble with founders that were so slick and evasive I didn't notice they were not on the same page until too late. Later I learned they were listening at doors, making comments to team members to divide us, and even in one case following me to a dinner with an old friend (to make sure I wasn't being recruited).

So an obvious non-fit like describe by the OP is maybe an easier situation.
> Muslim societies that they actually stone people to death for adultery

This is false. Put on your skeptical, critical thinking cap:

1) Do you really know that stoning is prevelant, and not just a few sensational news stories?

2) Is there a high correlation? That is, are there Muslim societies that don't stone people (maybe in wealthy parts of the world)? Are there other groups that do stone people and do similarly brutal things (maybe in poor parts of the world)?

It's very serious to spread this misinformation; this is how hatred and discrimination spread, and how brutal things happen to minorities. Consider that many of the worst calamities in history are based on ignorance and hatred of the 'other' ethnicity, including what has happened in the wealthiest nations.
Isn't the issue that a Kiva system is more scalable since it allows for rapid handling of far more SKUs? A key part of Amazon's retail strategy is that it's the first place you go to look for something because you know they have seemingly product on earth...they're the default e-commerce site for many. My understanding was that these shuttle-type systems simply don't allow for that. Maybe I'm wrong...if so what are the other trade-offs? Thanks

What we got from 4 startup launches on Product Hunt, HN and more (exact numbers)
I don't think it's homogeneous, but the sentiment "feels" different. (Scientific, I know.) For instance, there aren't people here who are saying, "It's good we're outing adulterers: they deserve it."

I went back and looked at two of the largest HN posts on AM from last year:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10083536

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9914024

And yes, there are a lot of good comments.

* In3d noticed the same thing then that I'm noticing now: "It looks like the reaction of most commenters is very different compared to when Gawker exposed the Conde Naste executive. This hack might have done this very same thing to many people."

* ulrikrasmussen sees the sentiment: "I see a few comments sympathizing with the vigilantes behind this, implying that the exposed users had it coming."

* nicholas_t makes the point about implications to Muslim users: "There are people who live in countries where adultery is punishable by death. Likewise for being gay. There's already one person from Saudi Arabia who expressed his concerns on Reddit but there's likely to be a lot of other people affected."

* dsacco shared an anecdote: "I had an argument with my girlfriend about this. No matter what reasoning I used, no matter what I said, she could not agree that it was wrong that Ashley Madison (A.M.) was hacked. Her position was that marital infidelity is such a punishable offense that the participants on A.M. deserve to be publicly outed. In her view, it was not even up for debate. She felt so powerfully about infidelity that she didn't care."

So yes, the general attitude is the same. You're right. There are just more assholes who said things like: "Zero sympathy. I have zero sympathy for both this site and for the users whose information was stolen. You all deserve it, for being selfish, amoral animals." (A comment that was rightfully downvoted to hell.)
> Trump inherited lots of money

Do you have a source for that? My understanding was that he received a $1MM loan from his Father after graduating business school.
The claim isn't that there will be lots of these, so a small number isn't in any way meaningless. If some incident was going to result in a few more people getting struck and killed by lightning, that might well get a similar reaction.

This line gets to me because it paints a neuroscientist in an unqualified light. This kind of implicit trust breeds pseudoscience through inflated egos.
All guessing of course, but disagree with the insinuation it points to Russians still.

- Rambo is not just a lame attempt at sprinkling in an American cultural reference. It is exactly what an Easter European boy in his 30s would have been looking up to back in the day.

- Other than just Russian security services can find translators. English speaking / translating ability is not a rare, expert-only domain. Could have asked a friend.

I guess at the end of the day, nobody likes to be hacked by a random loner guy. It feels more validating to be targeted by KGB's successor. As it explains away the security failures -- "Well these people torture and kill, should be glad we only got hacked by them, could have been a lot worse ...".
This entire (sub)thread was started about how companies shouldn't be the ones blamed because legislators make it sweet for them to do so, why should the legislators bought by the companies foot all of the blame?
Early adopters promoted bitcoin as 'fast' and 'free'. So it's not surprising that people are getting annoyed when transactions can take ages to be confirmed and the fees are growing large.

Worse still is that dynamic fee calculation is a hard problem. You can look at past fees to try and guess a fee for a fast confirmation, but as more and more people do this, the guesses will get worse and worse. It becomes a silly game of trying to guess what fee other people are going to pick for new transactions, and then adjusting your fee accordingly.

Just look at one of the most popular fee calculation page: https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ - it's far too complicated, and has a bewildering range of numbers. Just to make it worse, they mix up bitcoins, satoshis and dollars to confuse people further. On top of that, fees have to determined based upon your transaction size. So users have yet another complication to the fee selection.

You need a calculator and a deep knowledge of game theory to make a transaction work. Currency of the future!

For your sanity please do not use Drupal 8! I have recently finished a very large project using Drupal 8 and it nearly killed me.

Without bashing it too much the main issues were severe lack of good documentation, bugs in the core, bugs in contributed modules and poor development workflow.

Funnily enough, as a result of this project I started investigating alternative cms's and from now on will be using Craft.

Initially I was concerned it wouldn't be suitable for a project as complex as the project above, so I spent a day or too recreating some of the more complex parts of that project with Craft and it was a dream!

The developer learning curve with Craft is one of the best I have ever seen with a cms. We now have devs who previously only did frontend using craft in no time.

Nothing but good things to say about it really!
Nothing to do with laziness. It's a matter of pragmatism. Some wild conspiracy theories are so out of touch with reality that engaging in correction or education (a rebuttal) is a futile effort and a complete waste of time.

If I told you that "I can't speak freely because agents of the shadow government are watching my every move via microchips implanted into my brain at birth", would you really take the trouble to respond with a rational rebuttal? By your own standard, would you be lazy not to do it?

I find it seriously hard to believe that you live your life by the motto that "every misguided thought deserves a rebuttal". You'd be an extremely busy person if that were the case.

This is a fairly awful policy for cloud hosting and VPSes. Microsoft's policy, and I suspect Amazon's and Google's, are to forward legal requests to the company or client using their cloud services and wash their hands of the matter.

For DigitalOcean to intervene here seems strange.
> Taxes shouldn't be seen as a burden, they should be seen as an opportunity.

What a load of garbage. Taxes are theft at the end of a gun and we have little choice in how they are used. It's downright ignorant to believe that most taxes are used for the betterment of society rather than to line the pockets of select constituencies. Your conflation of "society" with "government" is fictitious.

The idea of "serverless" apps really appeals to me. Where you can write your JS app and deploy it without having to own anything other than the domain.

This seems like it could be a key part but I'm wondering what other things a developer could tie into the get the entire "serverless" platform.

Product Managing Health
I'm an energy investor and get to work with tax advisors and lawyers very often in order to maximise tax structures and cash repatriation. Everything we do is approved by tax authorities and positively seen by our shareholders. I agree to a certain extent with you that companies are acting rationally. I can assure you it's my responsibility to make the best use of these tools.

However, the direct and indirect pressure large companies exert on governments to promote/create these loopholes is absurd. I recently went to a latin american country which is promoting foreign investment. Guess what tools they are using to promote such FDI? Correct, tax credits, tax agreements with tax heavens, zero withholding taxes on dividends, etc. I won't go into more detail, but I've seen obscene (but legal) tax structures were little-to-no corporate taxes nor capital gains taxes have been paid in +billion euro transactions.

IMHO, this is unfair to everyday citizens. Citizens end up taking the burden of supporting the govt budget, at the expense of higher tax rates.

Unfortunately in the EU, there is very little interest from countries like The Netherlands, Ireland, and Luxembourg in implementing a common fiscal policy, with no loopholes, as this would considerably damage their "competitive" economies.
Yes, this happens regularly. It's very difficult to prevent, because unconfirmed transactions are not guaranteed to expire after a known time. Your first transaction has been broadcast across the whole network of nodes, all of which have different retention settings. Even if one node drops your transaction, it is possible that another node will re-broadcast it again.
While I do agree with you that the hackers should be prosecuted (but in the same way than any other hacked service), what should be really prosecuted and repudiated are the regimes that allow that kind of "behavior". And I saying this assuming that you, as ex-muslim, agree completely with that statement, after all the punishment for leaving Islam is... a bit extreme.
You would think though if he was living in the US or Canada, he would at least make a more up-to-date pop reference than Rambo or Terminator. If he was living in the west, he would probably at least cite Mr. Robot or some "betrayed" hero like Jason Bourne.
Let's ignore the topic of the video itself since gun control is quite a controversial issue. If you start producing political videos (and despite being a parody, it's certainly political) that contain libelous "paid for by" messages you are going to have problems regardless of the subject. There's a reason you see these messages in every political ad that airs in America, people take them very seriously.

To the anonymous downvoters, note that it is illegal (and not just a civil issue) to falsify this kind of statement in some states. I'm not sure what people are disagreeing with since nobody has left a dissenting comment, so I'll just ask this: if the target here was a parody video encouraging mothers to abort 104-week-old fetuses that claimed to be "paid for by Planned Parenthood" would you have the same opinion? If not I think you're letting your opinion on guns get in the way.
A quote from Eiiinshteen? Oh and look at the author it's Andreeeaa Kuszewskiliowitz.
"Higher doses will lead to headaches and, paradoxically, tiredness and drowsiness — not stimulation."

False. You're right in that it won't help them very much -- specifically because taking overdoses of amphetamines tends to lead to things like insomnia, tachycardia/dehydration, and mania/psychosis.
Full disk encryption (FDE) is a UX issue, not a technical one. You don't need a secure cryptographic processor, but the UX sucks without one.

A simple, working, FDE setup would be something like LUKS running at boot:

1. Turn on phone
2. Phone loads up initial bootstrap OS
3. Phone prompts user for master key
4. Master key is used to unlock volume
5. Regular OS boot continues

If the master key has enough entropy, brute forcing it becomes impossible. The phone won't "disable" as there's no self-destructing component (i.e. "secure crypto chip") but that doesn't mean it can be cracked. Boil as many oceans as you'd like, you're not going to brute force 256 bits of entropy.

The UX problem is that the master key is a PITA to enter if it's long enough to be cryptographically secure. That's what a crypto chip is supposed to solve. A limited number of attempts with a shorter passphrase.

I would look at the motive. State actors will use the information for economic and security benefit, not broadcast to the world. A guy who wants attention, to be thought of in the same vein as Assange and Snowden, will announce it to the world.

Plus, I think if the system was as easy to access (via $1.5k 0day hack purchased online, and was disabled via reboot on June 12th), then I think lots of other people had access, including state actors. I don't think they would announce it to the world, just quietly use the information.

Also, I don't think Guccifer wants to influence the election, as he seems to have an impoverished understanding of the facts. I think he just wants to show off.

As for a coverup? I don't think it would be as loud or as prolonged as this (Streisand effect). It seems there is even more forthcoming info, too.
It's unlikely that they'll suffer any consequences. The CA death penalty (i.e. root removal) is usually only used in cases of massive breaches, like in the case of DigiNotar. Sometimes, root programs force CAs to adopt things like Certificate Transparency or limit CAs to certain TLDs as a result (i.e. a CA that primarily issues certificates for a specific country might be name-constrained to that ccTLD to minimize the risk for other TLDs), but that wouldn't apply here as StartCom already uses Certificate Transparency and they don't really have a "primary" ccTLD they issue for.
