I don't mean they hold the cash, I mean they "write a note" that you have deposited $2000. So they know they can give it back to you at some point. If that makes it better I don't know. It was supposed to be a simplification anyway.

The issue with Bitcoin is that you current kind of need to know about how it all works don't you?

If you ever posted a sickle-and-hammer to the web, visible to the Hungarian public -- distributing it -- then you possibly could be fined for it. If you visit Hungary and you got fined, would you consider it just? Here's the Hungarian Criminal Code article in question:

Article 335(1). Any person who
a) distributes;
b) uses in public;
c) exhibits in public;
a swastika, the SS sign, an arrow-cross, a hammer and sickle, a five-pointed red star or a symbol
depicting the above, – unless a graver crime is realised – commits a misdemeanour, and shall be liable to
punishment with a fine.
(2) The person who uses a symbol of despotism for the purposes of the dissemination of knowledge,
education, science, or art, or with the purpose of information about the events of history or the present
time shall not be punishable.
(3) The provisions of subsections (1) and (2) do not extend to the official symbols of states in force.

I think the other "UK hacker" being referenced is Gary McKinnon, and the ten-year legal wrangle* to try to get him extradited to the US on charges of breaking into US government/military computer systems.

Rather than fight the UK on a hacker extradition again, the US seems to've taken advantage of the convenient fact that their target voluntarily placed himself on US soil.

*The core of the McKinnon fight seems to have been the fact that he was offered a chance at a much-reduced sentence if he cooperated and provided information about what he'd done and how he broke in, but on the UK side that was spun as a form of extortion (in other words, rather than a "be helpful and you'll get a lighter sentence" they read it as "fight us and we'll try to lock you up forever").

I would like the down-voters to explain why this is getting down voted. He is exactly right.

Have none of you seen what's happening in Sweden, Germany and especially France?

In France there have been many riots. All by immigrants who have low education, unskilled work and living off government welfare.

This problem has been there since 20 years and has just bred another generation. Give it another 20 years and with the birth-rate as it is for immigrants, it will just get worse.

There is a huge problem coming. With all these low skilled immigrants having their jobs being automated. What is the country to do with them? Oh thats right, more welfare.

Well guess who is paying that. So dear "javascript" developer, you want more TAX? Because you are going to pay for it.

That's why I'll never live in these countries. We are looking at 90% tax rate for the middle class. It happened in France for the high earners.

> Not sure that's true anymore with TypeScript.

Excellent point, and one of the less-advertised benefits of using TypeScript.

I tend to use Babel/Webpack in most of my projects, mostly because I have the time to waste on keeping up with the 'bleeding edge' and I kind of enjoy it (in perhaps a slightly masochistic way).

That said, more than once I picked TypeScript for some project not primarily because of its main purpose, but rather because it offered a simple way to transpile 'ESNext' to ES5. Despite the fact that a basic Babel/Webpack setup is second nature to me now, it still feels easier to just use TypeScript to do all of it at once, and get types as part of the deal!
He is apparently not aware of the multitudes of drive-by-wire systems being in development for years, which exactly mimic fly-by-wire systems, just much simplier. Eg. instead of 6 degrees of freedoms there are only 2. The control loop is trivial compared to airplanes, but on the other side the sensors need to be faster, as the obstacles are nearer.

To me, this is a GUI anti-pattern. Why do we have to go to Finder to customise the Touchbar? I looked for this option in System Preferences for days before I stumbled across this .. and then to have to hold down the magic Option key.

Honestly, these sorts of anti-patterns are what makes me think Apple has seriously lost the plot.
What happens when someone else shows up and points to the same name? I think what should happen is that it should ask the second person for proof and if they can provide it, the initial vote has to be discarded. But how? How do we know which vote is by the first person?

I assume we don't want to keep track of who voted for whom (secret ballot).

President Obama was right when he said the fix to problems in our democracy is more voter participation. Imagine if close to 100% of those eligible to vote, registered and voted. Voter fraud would be insignificant.

Ya, 30 minutes is not a lot. I have two kids, ages 3 and 5, and they get about an hour a day. They each get to pick a show that we all watch as a family.

Don't forget there's a social aspect to it too. If you cut then of completely, when their v friends start talking about paw patrol or strawberry shortcake, they'll be left out. Same thing with the latest app or whatnot. Sure, they'll never know them all, but knowing none will make it harder for them to relate too.

Building a drawing tool in the browser is complex, when one has to begin to calculate various stuff(do bounding boxes intersect, perform a affine transformation).

Could you share some insights?

Do you use an external math library like math.js(which seems to be very hewavyweight)?
Do you have a model with objects and other objects/functions that draw to the canvas, or draw the objects themself on the canvas?
When the user moves a object, do you update the model immediately, or only when the move has ended?
I still don't understand how removing my funds from CB into a wallet VS into an exchange has any issue on wether or not I'll get equivalent BCH. Also, I don't understand how removing my funds from CB (into a wallet, I guess) will guarantee them giving me BCH VS having not done anything and just left the money on CB. It seems the latter would have been easier for them to debit me BCH, no?

I'm so confused.

Edit: if I know my private keys for my BTC, does that mean they are the exact same for BCH? If so, how would I then "acquire" said BCH?
I suppose it could be considered more 'general' programming advice, not specific to JS. At least here on HN there seems to be a consensus that classical inheritance more than 1 layer deep is a bad idea (correct me if I'm wrong though, dear HN readers and writers!).

Personally I'm a huge functional programming weenie for no reason I can coherently defend, so I prefer to avoid ES6 classes. But quite often they end up being the most reasonable solution to my problem, and having syntax for it is great. I just avoid them by default.
I tried one out briefly, no f.lux equivalent made it unusable for me.
Night time in the US (especially California) has always been a quieter time. I live in Europe and when I am regularly checking HN I can often tell when it's start of working time in the Bay based on the front page.

You can do a quick analysis but my observation is that stories on the front page during west coast night time are significantly more stale (submitted more hours ago) and/or with less points. Something getting near the top during that time with ~10 points is nothing unusual (especially if the upvotes happen this fast).

Edit: Also moderator intervention is a much more likely hypothesis than 'tricking the system' on average on HN, but this case is well within the norm so I wouldnt suspect that.
>You clearly don't understand the concept of privilege.

You're purposely equivocating on the the concept. At one end you're giving me the dictionary definition to argue the point. But then you're simply falling back on the ideological definition - the one that I actually argued against and the one that is used in practice to push policy and browbeat those who disagree with you (this includes your responses and arguments).

>If you define "the West" as those places without extreme injustice, it's just circular logic

I define the West as however it is commonly understood. What circular logic?

>White men in our society do, in general and vast majority of situations, have some privileges over the experience they would have with darker skin or being labeled female.

Like what? Asians have the highest personal and house-hold income in America. When controlled for the difference in single vs two-parent households in black and white populations, the income disparity between blacks and whites disappears as well. There are more whites in prison and in poverty than all other groups combined. Race makes for great politics, but it isn't a factor to success. Nobody gets breaks. You have to go to work, bust your ass, and pay rent. If you don't pay rent, you get evicted. Bill Gates doesn't hand out stipends because you match his skin tone.

>Are you saying that merely mentioning a concept like "white privilege" is an ugly characterization of someone?

Yes. It is a loaded, ideological term that isn't based on reality. It is exclusively used by those who want to push a particular extreme ideology and dehumanize 'THOSE OTHERS'. If I get a group of people with varying skin colors, give you no other information, and I ask you to tell me about their life, their struggles, about what they believe, and if they are a good person, or an evil person or a criminal, or intelligent - you would be able to say nothing. And yet, here we are, you tell me how much 'headwind' the whites in the group got and how much easier their life is due to all their white privilege. Urgh.

>Yeah, I get that certain online mob-mentality identity-politics young folks are making words like "privilege" toxic to many because they have an aggressive and simplistic ideology around it.

I don't know about those 'young folks', but everything you've written thus far is on about the same level of toxicity.

>Imagine a context in which you happen to be surrounded by Scientologists. You sometimes try to argue with them about scientific reasoning and point out how exploitative and absurd their "religion" is. But they keep using illogical bullshit that their dogma teaches them. When you get out of that milieu, you commiserate with your friends who talk with you about how absurd the Scientologists are. One day, you interact with someone who happens to be into Buddhist-style

Consider that you're the Scientologist in your analogy.

>But your reaction is just assuming anyone who uses the term or talks about equity and injustice as real issues are automatically those people.

I'm just going by what you said.
It probably has, it's just that after it has been exploited it becomes a default part of everythings sensory kit.
Nobel prize winners on down, the more educated you are, the less likely you are to have children.

This has been tried in the West for decades and not worked so far.

> letting a fentanyl dealer rot in prison for the rest of their lives

This already happens.

> sting operations with cops posing as drug-seeking addicts to catch doctors handing them out like candy

This already happens as well, although you then have to draw a line between perfectly legal prescription and illegal dealing.

> If you sell drugs, you get executed

This policy is currently collapsing the Philippines; 7,000 dead already: https://www.hrw.org/report/2017/03/02/license-kill/philippin...

"Even prior to announcing his candidacy for the May 2016 presidential election, Duterte was already very clear about his intention to eliminate crime by eliminating criminals: “If by chance that God will place me there, watch out because the 1,000 [people allegedly executed while Duterte was mayor of Davao City] will become 100,000. You will see the fish in Manila Bay getting fat. That is where I will dump you.”"

The massacre of 100,000 people would put Duerte well into the "crimes against humanity" league.
Fruit picking (which the indigenous population doesn't want to do) is one such business model. Nothing is more nationalistic than living off the land of that nation and that is something native born Americans don't want to do.

If the conspiracy was to break into or attack US computer systems, it's a crime the US has jurisdiction over.

If it had been a conspiracy to break into or attack French computer systems, France would have jurisdiction over it. If it were a conspiracy to break into or attack Mongolian computer systems, Mongolia would have jurisdiction over it.

I don't see anything unusual here.

One of the reasons North African smugglers put people on makeshift rafts is because they know that NGO vessels will rescue them. The African smugglers and NGOs are in cahoots - effectively making the NGOs smugglers as well.
The black patches form the implication of a spiral

Indeed, it reminded me of the triangle illusion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_contours

The brain is very good at "filling in", so what it's doing in this case is perceiving the image as a masked-off spiral.

That also brings to mind, what would the "content-aware fill" tool in newer versions of Photoshop do to the image...?

I hope this is just the beginning. What would make this easier is a free platform for article submission and refereeing.

/bin, /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, /opt... is a mess on unices. There is no profound idea behind it. Someone needed a folder that was not interfered with, then someone started interfering so a new folder was born, and so forth. However, they are mostly just prioritized copies of eachother. / comes first, then /usr, then /usr/local, then /opt. The structures in them are identical.

On Windows, however, the only organized region would be that applications get a folder, but there's multiple potential locations (Program Files, Program Files (x86)), and they might also dump a bunch of things in various user-local folders, as well as the giant landfill that is C:\Windows. It lacks structure, to the point where there is even clones of UNIX structures in there (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts?!?).
