If the actual owners were observed by the FBI operating the site for two weeks, and served N specific images, would they be committing a crime? Causing harm? Yes?

If the original owners sold to new owners, and the FBI observed the new owners serving the same N specific images for two weeks, would they be committing a crime? Causing harm. Yes?

If the FBI muscled in and took over the site, serving those exact same N images for two weeks, would they be committing a crime? Causing harm? Yes?

The solution to "nice things get stolen" is not "don't have nice things", it's "make it so people don't want to steal nice things".
Not all evo-psych critics are blank slate fans. Some of us just like our science to be based on repeatable experiments. The truth in evo-psych, that humans are animals that evolved in various environments, sometimes has only a tenuous connection to the claims of evo-psych. (e.g. that any particular aspect of modern life has some sort of link to some particular aspect of life on the savanna -- how could we possibly know that?)
Between 1993 and 2012, Property Crime has fallen from a rate of 4740 to 2859 per 100,000 inhabitants in the US. 2012's rate was 60% of 1993's rate. Burglary from 1100 to 670 (61%) Larceny from 3034 to 1959 (65%).

Compared to those dramatic declines (and yes, 1993 was a pretty bad year for crime in the US, but that's the FBI's stats), motor vehicle theft has fallen off a cliff.

In 1993 there were 606 per 100,000 inhabitants. in 2012 there were 230. The new number is 38% of the old number.

I hear about fairly advanced car thefts in the UK all the time (RFID cloning, etc), but it's a problem that virtually doesn't exist anymore in the US in the eyes of car enthusiasts. (Yes, 20 year old Honda Accord parked in the ghetto is still a target. But modern vehicles in relatively good areas are simply not something we worry about anymore).

Actually, I got it for free! There was a shipping mixup, so I got a refund, then a week later UPS found it in a back room and finished delivering it.

But even if I hadn't, it was super cheap. Look up the Sony xperia M4 Aqua, it's only $150 unlocked on amazon.
Oh, but banning paid private event staff is uninclusive towards people with limited outdoors experience!
Studies in bonobos point to there being a very strong genetic component in fact. Bonobos and chimps being our closest relatives I think the biological evidence is more compelling than you think.
Here in the salty Midwest, "winter beaters" are a popular thing. Not that they defeat the cold and snow, but that they sacrificially get beat on when it's nasty out.

Keep gas-guzzling, 4-wheel-drive, wins-in-a-crash truck thing with rusted out underbody for December to March, and a nicer car that never sees salt for the warmer months. Exchange insurance from one vehicle to the other as necessary.

Governance. Those who execute the law enforcement shouldn't define priorities, except for the daily basic investigation.
App version for android: http://forty7.org/tmp/hnapp/hnchat.app.arm.apk

I'm making a website tool to convert website to Android apps, so was using this as a test.

If anyone got an x86 android device, I also generated x86 version of the app: http://forty7.org/tmp/hnapp/hnchat.app.x86.apk
Actually we don't know. It's impossible to know. The government tells us these individuals shared horrifying pictures, but if a journalist (for example) wanted to verify these claims, she'd face prison time too for downloading the images. So in theory it could mostly be a bunch of nude selfies taken by 16 and 17 year old teens which are circulating around these websites. Or maybe it really is horrific imagery of babies and toddlers being brutally raped, as horrifying as that sounds. Impossible to know. If it's the former, I have a serious problem sending people away to prison for decades because they want to see a nude 16 year old (keep in mind by the way the age of consent is 16 in most states). If it's the latter, then by all means. I guess I'm just an optimist, but I have a hard time believing that tens of thousands of people on just this one site want to see toddlers being brutalized. Additionally, I would hope that the supply of such images is quite low. On the other hand, I would imagine there are many more people interested in 16/17 year olds, coupled with the fact that almost every teenager has a camera in his or her pocket, means that the supply of those pictures would be far greater and far more subject to sharing. When the FBI says "suspect X was found with thousands of child porn images including toddlers under 5," that could be 2,000 images of nude teen selfies with 2 toddler images accidentally downloaded. But it's really impossible to know what's going on - it's illegal to do any independent investigative work and this stuff never makes it to a jury. The FBI just has free reign and they tell us "just trust us."
With Rust, I've only heard of some people making Slacks. I don't use Slack, but at least one person mentioned on IRC that the Rust slack they were in was pretty much dead, so I'm not aware of this happening to Rust yet. We'll see as time goes on. There are something like 50 #rust- channels on Mozilla's IRC and ##rust on Freenode, though.

I've also heard of quite a few very active JavaScript Freenode channels, though Slack does have a lot of inroads there depending on which particular segment of the community you're into.
For those not in the Seattle area, it may be useful to understand that Seattle PD is in the middle of a months- or years- long work slowdown - a police strike, when you do away with euphemisms - in response to federal oversight of the department. They will barely respond to most crimes, so rising vigilantism is hardly surprising.
Many old people downsize to a condo because:

1. The kids are out and the house is too big for them.

2. They are usually one floor units and have an elevator.

3. They don't have to maintain nearly as many things.

And a place with a metro is good if you can't drive any more.
Could the same thing or something similar be done with a yubikey?
Binary Economics in a Nutshell
Average of all phones is likely pretty bad, considering quality and quantity of cheap chinese phones. The average of your visitors is probably much better, but still a meaningless number.

More interesting: the Galaxy S7 has a 2560x1440 display. Same for the HTC 10 and the LG V10. The iPhone 6 Plus has a 1920×1080 display, with the iPhone 7 about to be revealed.
"Unexpected constraint" is a very curious choice of words. In my experience, when you teach novice programmers, braces and semicolons are the unexpected constraints. Line breaks and indentation is a bit more expected to the novice programmer. ("Optional semicolons" like in JavaScript seem to be the worst of both worlds.)

Programmers with experience will expect things to behave like the languages they know. If you are experienced with Python, Haskell, or YAML, they won't seem like surprises.

Funny that Notepad++ and Kwrite have given you problems, those are usually fairly good editors and should be able to write Python / Haskell / YAML just fine. I wonder what happened to cause those problems.
All I am free to say about this is that we look hard at diversity issues in hiring and put a lot of effort into eliminating them, and that I personally believe we do a better job of stamping this out than any other company I have worked for in my career. I suspect, but cannot prove, that our process gives better diversity results than most of the ideas which are "popular" on HN at present.

I do some work on this personally. I'm just not allowed to discuss the details at present.

(The reasons why I'm not allowed to discuss this are due to tedious bureaucracy, not anything interesting. I have tried to get that changed, but it would require more effort than I am willing to expend on a problem that will go away in time.)
A lot of people here have been mentioning Postman but my personal go-to has been Advanced Rest Client [1]. It's open source, has Google Drive integration, and seems to have a pretty impressive development rate. For me, it's a definite plus that there isn't a paid tier so the developers don't have any incentive to limit the free product. That said, Insomnia looks like a nice contender and I look forward to giving it a shot. The reuse of variables across requests and the automatic generation of boilerplate request code both look like really nice features that ARC lacks!

Experience. The worst horrors I've seen have been in the finance sector. I'm currently working on one where the developers don't know transactions exist. And millions of dollars of transactions daily are coordinated by users emailing inline csv files.
The idea the some people "cannot consent" is disproven by the fact that some countries allow underage people to have consensual sex with each other but not with overage people. Somehow they can consent sometimes but not other times. Where I'm from, it's common for kids to be having sex at 13. They "can't consent" but somehow do it anyway without breaking the law.

This is great news, but mountain gorillas were also moved from endangered to critically endangered status by IUCN. ALL of humanity's closest relatives are either critically endangered (the two species of orangutans and two species of gorillas), or endangered (bonbos and chmipanzees).
Source? I'd be interested in reading about that.
Make it extremely infrequent, so the expected probability of re-infection is about once a week. For instance, have a 1-in-7-times-24 chance, and re-run every hour. This way you don't rely on local state, so there's no local state for AV to corrupt.

When a victim pays, provide them all of the keys - a paying victim probably won't wait multiple weeks, so in the common case it should just be one or two keys. Storing these keys shouldn't be too much load on your servers, and ransomware doesn't really need to care about integrity protection, so there's no inflation of file size from repeated encryptions.

Paw is really the way to go if you can swing the $50 entry fee. Extremely polished native app, with so many features.
I think it's ridiculous there is a minimum age at all. Sure I wouldn't vote for a 21 year old, but there is no reason they should be excluded from running.
I can think of at least one other "name" collision.
I've been using Insomnia since the beginning and I really appreciate how receptive gschier is to feedback and how the support side of things are handled.

I'd love to hear what you're planning on working on next and how you plan to monetize (if you're going to) :)
Ya, ARC is a pretty good one! Have you heard how the developer is handling the announcement of the shutdown of Chrome apps in 2017? Curious if they'll hop on the Electron bandwagon too.
"What's in here right now doesn't need any Swift runtime support. That will change very quickly as we try to add support for things like arrays, classes, structs, strings, etc."
Funny, the older I get, and the more businesses I become involved with - the more I realize that even the silliest, most trivial problem on the outside takes relentless execution and talent to make successful.

With age, came the wisdom that I am best when supported by a team of people who take up the fight alongside me. The challenge then, becomes to inspire, reward and treat my collaborators with the respect and dignity that they deserve.
The Future of Coding Schools
There are sites out there with pictures and videos of people being tortured and killed freely available for download. Also animal crush videos is a thing. Very disturbing stuff - I accidentally clicked on one link on 4chan. I don't want to elaborate on what it was, but I closed it immediately, almost vomited, and I am very careful about clicking random internet links from now on. Surely this stuff is not any better than child porn and there are people who enjoy looking at this material so why don't we ever go after the people sharing this stuff?
It's a vicious cycle: Nobody knows the vision, so they just iterate on the process, and the process is inscrutable, so nobody can extract a vision for it.
I've lost the reference but it was a study of sexual behavior in bonobos and their "non-discriminatory" attitude and practices. Bonobos of course being famous for their sexual proclivities and chimps being famous for their violent proclivities.

If you google relevant keywords I'm sure it will turn up.
I'll share this here since I have something similar/relevant.

Forth does it differently. There is no syntax, no redundancy, no typing. There are no errors that can be detected. Forth uses postfix, there are no parentheses. No indentation. Comments are deferred to the documentation. No hooks, no compatibility. Words are never hyphenated. There's no hierarchy. No files. No operating system.
Sure, back when industries weren't on an endless cycle of cost cutting and when consumers (esp. 14-24yo) actually had an attention span, LTV was something marketers could rely on. Today the younger the consumer, the more fickle which equates to no loyalty and endless churn.
Insomnia is still in the early stages, so talking to users is something I spend a lot of time and effort on. It's the only way to make a good product :)

My current plan for monetization is to add multi-device sync (almost ready for beta) then team collaboration features shortly after. There are also some advanced features left to implement like OAuth support, scripting (settings environment variables from response data), and a few others.

Thanks for the comment!

"Most people that helped nasa with the space race have been forgotten. to imply that ^these women^ should not have been forgotten because of their ^race^ and ^gender^ seems silly to me. "

Motherhood statement. Let me guess: male, white, middle class and educated? Women of colour experience a different world to you.

I lived through the late stage of Apollo and the space race and followed it closely as a kid and never read or saw images of scientists, technicians other than the stereo-typical short white sleeve engineer with glasses. This is a book and film I'll be looking out for.
I think it is absolutely a genetic disposition - it wouldn't make sense any other way. A friend of mine from high school was always interested exclusively in older women, like 40, 50+. In the same vain, there are people on the other end of the spectrum into prepubescents, but they wouldn't openly admit it the way my friend did about his preference. Why would a person choose to be a pedophile? It makes no sense. Just like a person in 1970 wouldn't choose to be gay. Individual people overwhelmingly choose the path of least resistance.

Starry-eyed kids with no sense of ownership to root them anywhere else, always ready to study and jump ship every 6 months? :p
Bad project name for SEO purposes. Do you really want people to trudge through SERPs of some popstar who makes vapid music before they get to your project?
Part of the company culture is that we value always being able to expect that everybody you encounter is a strong engineer who will do sensible things when presented with data.

You never go into an encounter with a new person or team being unsure of whether they're going to be difficult. You never have to avoid dealing with "that guy". You get to trust everybody that you meet.

It doesn't just improve overall quality, it makes it a better place to work. Good engineers are happier in this environment, and there is pretty near universal agreement from people who have experienced the results that this is a thing worth preserving.

There are plenty of things about the hiring process which get enthusiastic internal debate, criticism, and data-driven analysis. This is not one of them. This is a thing which we really like.

(Full disclosure: I have gone through the interview process twice, failed the first time, passed the second.)
You see this in say, Amsterdam too. But it's not that the bikes won't get stolen, it's that eventually they absolutely will, and then you'll just buy another bike again for almost nothing (which was also probably stolen - or salvaged from the canal after it was stolen and dumped...)

Not all bikes, but the beater bikes in Amsterdam are all just rotating through the population. It's kinda like a game.
Swagger UI seems to do a pretty decent job. The thing I like about swagger is you create one canonical description of your API and model and then generate postman collections, API docs, and client/server stubs all from the same source.
Because that would add little entropy at the cost of much inconvenience, which is the opposite of what you want.

Indeed, I have a winter bike for this reason. And another bike for taking to higher theft / vandalism areas such as downtown and the university campus. Plus, admittedly, it's fun to tinker with and ride different bikes. ;-)
our solution definitely ended up looking like your first example. it wasn't that solving the problem was particularly difficult, but just something we hadn't really run into. previous approaches of just using em and rem were working fine for the most part, but for one particular use case we wanted more.
Don't forget that if a 21 year old has consensual sex with a 15 year old, he might end up ostracized on national TV (To Catch a Predator), arrested, thrown in prison, and forced to register as a sex offender for life, while in France or Italy (among many other countries) there would be no story and both parties would continue life as usual, possibly getting married and having kids (as did many couples of similar age a couple of generations ago). It is troubling that age alone determines whether a rape occurred. That is insulting to real rape victims.
I wish that more personal projects were posted here on the site. It's a bit tiresome to read about startups.

Show HN: App uses GIFs to improve your health
Earlier this year I created an app that helps you eat healthier. I just overhauled it. It works like this:

1) Pick one simple habit to work on.

2) Check off your habit every day for a week.

3) When you check it off, the app shows you a funny GIF.

4) After you do your habit for a week, you move onto a new one. This way, you don't take on too much at once.

Would love to see what you guys think.
I wish paw team had "paw light" - free edition with limited set of features for folks who cannot afford $50
Yeah, I think it's a losing game to ask users to do more work because we technical people think it better or more correct.
I live in a college town, with suspected organized bike theft. The theory is that bikes are trucked to say, Mexico, then sold - they aren't sold locally. That makes it very hard to track down your own bike.

I also remember the classic film The Bicycle Thief, where all the parts of all the stolen bikes are taken off, and liquidated that way.
I didn't downvote, but I'll take a shot at answering. Your post had a touch of condescension, sort of: "well I work at Google and you don't, so I obviously know better than you ...".

Kind of reminds me of this HN comment and rejoinder:

Yes, I did.

You generally don't know the history of the people you're interacting with here on HN, so it's not always appropriate to act so smug about where you work.
I think you are exactly right, the traditional automobile manufacturers don't stand a chance in the "new world". I liken them to carriage makers in the early 1900s and the likelihood that they could make the transition to a completely new way of life. Sure, some of them did make the jump and you can even find a few modern day carriage makers, but for the most part they all died out when the Model T came to town. They just couldn't adjust & adapt as their whole world was wrapped up in the traditional way to make a vehicle.

I love the concept, this feels a useful need that I didn't know I wanted until now -- which, I believe, is the best kind of reaction to a new product.

The triangle shape doesn't resonate with me; I think it's really awkward. I propose something like an 'imperial' profile yo-yo (called 'classic' in the image [1]), where the two disc-shaped halves can snap together.

[1] http://cdn3.volusion.com/cxlem.jbcmk/v/vspfiles/photos/YO_No...

I think that style of design is recognizable to be snapped together while maintaining separated shape that is not unwieldy to handle and pocket. Not to mention 'velo' sounds like a plausible rhyme for yo-yo and in my opinion, sort of onomatopoeically and etymologically conjures an image of a fast and nimble device like a yo-yo.

I agree, a lot of younger programmers think they have 3 years experience when they've had the same month of experience 36 times.

And this is not a dig against old people per se. But it's the sunk cost fallacy.

If you've only been doing something for 3 years, and it's wrong, it's easier to convince them that it's wrong, vs. if you've been doing something for 20 years, it's a lot harder to convince somebody that they're doing it wrong.

Especially if they've been successful doing things their way for 20 years.
Rent controls, such as those built in to the amount which a landlord can raise the rent per annum, are often specific to the tenant and their lease. Thus when the tenants die or are able to get booted off the lease / kicked out of the apartment (NYC has very pro-tenant housing laws), the apartments go for the market rate and the cycle begins anew.
I'm not talking about 14 year olds; I'm talking about people in single digits, and children who can't walk yet.
