Show HN: Nuzzle – Like Sudoku, Just Harder
Hi HN, I published my first game on app store. Its a number puzzle game like sudoku.

It's built on React-Native. I used mobx as a game engine. It was fun and challenging.

I created promo codes for HN, so you can download it free :)

An explanation of what this is would be good.
I work on a checkout product that is implemented as a third-party iframe. We set a cookie so that a user can have their information remembered for the next time, so that if you've shopped at merchant A, you won't have to fill out your information again when you want to shop at merchant B or C. We don't use it to track you or profile you, it's literally just to make it easier for you to check out (which makes our merchants happy because they see less drop-off). We have a very simple and obvious way of opting out of this, directly in the checkout itself, if you for whatever reason don't want to be remembered.

Unfortunately, because most people don't visit us in a first-party context, we are classified as a tracker, so we can't read our cookie anymore. The result being that our customers have a worse experience. If they want to get prefilled, they'll now have to go through this weird redirect song and dance so that we can interact with them in a first-party context.

So yeah, while I'm generally for enhanced privacy, I think this specific implementation is harmful. I think that all it achieves is that it consolidates the ability to track users to a small number of giants that you routinely interact with in a first-party context on a daily basis (Facebook, Google, etc).
Secrecy. This is the one thing the CIA respects. All else - human decency, dignity, culture - is irrelevant in the CIA's mission to rule by secrecy.

The corruption of government begins with its secrets. A truly free people keep no secrets.

Many people would agree.
Now I'm curious how blue the original lights were, since the current ones are pretty green, though not as green as in the west.
Leave aside everything she did wrt Wikileaks. That's a can of worms that need not be opened here.

What has she done since? Has she done anything to warrant a Harvard fellowship? As far as I can tell, her greatest contribution to humanity has been a novel use of emojis on twitter.
Arch was my favorite distro for a long time. The Arch and Gentoo wikis are still my go-to for linux-related information.

Arch was my favorite distro right up until I installed NixOS. NixOS is the first distro that has truly innovated since Debian.

While I could maintain an Archlinux install for several years without much effort, I am guaranteed to be able to maintain my NixOS install longer than I could possibly want to. I am guaranteed a clean, working system. If something breaks, I need only reboot, and pick the last derivation in GRUB.
What is the method of collecting this information? Lecture of https://github.com/GoogleChrome/css-triggers/issues/21 shows that it might not be accurate.
This attempt to repress her rights of speech and participation in open culture is, clearly, an attempt to compel people to not even question the reasons for why she leaked sensitive information.

Another slide down the slippery slope of American-style totalitarianism.
As another person posted. It's probably a surveillance attempt gone awry.
Much cooler: Germany's highest criminal court ruled that you can be an accessory to attempted murder... of yourself ("Verfolgerfall").

That was a case of two robbers who were fleeing the scene. One of them looked back and saw himself pursued. He shot at his pursuer who actually was his accomplice. Both were convicted of attempted murder.
> "US military is a deeply evil institution"

How so? I'm curious about what you classify as "evil."
I've primarily worked on Linux for 3+ years.

The US Congress, elected by the people, voted for the war.

The CIA, FBI etc. act on behest of the people, in terms dictated by elected officials with oversight. It would be absurd to suggest that an espionage apparatus would be 'democratically elected' or 'transparent'.

As far as the 'video' - it was the unfortunate death of a few extremely irresponsible journalists, who ventured deep into a war-zone, directly into a firefight - with and armed escort - without coordination with US elements. It was utterly stupid of them, frankly. Their deaths were tragic - but could have been 100% avoided by some basic adherence to common sense on their part. I don't think the military, after reviewing the video - might even change any protocols on the part of their combatants. I think the only changes they could make would be stronger in their conviction to forbid or warn journalists away from combat zones without protection or at least communication.

I'm sympathetic to Manning because I think she felt what she was doing was 'right' - but it wasn't. And 99% of the time people in the CIA etc. are trying to do their jobs well, and for most of them it's a moral cause, they have a sense of duty.

And of course I'm not saying they don't do bad things, or that the 'secrecy' of their activities might result in some bad news. I wouldn't absolve them entirely - just that they are generally a force for good.
I know it sounds crazy, but my refrigerator beam some whistle alike sounds. If I move my head like one foot beside I don't hear the sound, but one foot on the other side and I hear the whistle.

Edit: I have a video of it, it's not as clear in the video as it is in real life though. You have to put volume at 100%.(https://www.dropbox.com/s/7h7n46kzqarzt0l/fridge.mp4?dl=0)
I would say that what she's done is stand up to the criminal government currently using its mighty powers to repress millions of individuals around the world.

She stood up to this power, suffered personally for it, and survived. That is a very strong message, and its one that needs to be heard - not just by the privileged students of Harvard, but the world at large.

She's a hero, because she thwarted elite power brokers' ability to rule, un-hindered by public opinion. If this is not a valuable asset to future generations of public, needing education, I don't know what it is - but of course it should come as no surprise that the power elite do not want younger generations to respect her sacrifice.

It is clearly not going to be good for the military-industrial complex if more, younger people, start questioning the lies they are told about why their nation state is at war, exporting wholesale destruction to the world.

No, the act deserves prais and respect. People- are just people, they do deserve a normal live - and that they are persecuted is wrong. But you do not become a holy saint by dissenting and one good act does not make one a good actor for all eternity.

Yours sounds like a Language-based Operating System, except you didn't implement protection in the language. Anyway they've been around for a very long time. The Burroughs system that I'm familiar with was around in the 1960s (from 1961 according to Wikipedia).

You're mistaken. Bash functions and unix commands return an exit status (an integer), never text.
Of course it is underpowered compared to what Linux offers. The main point is that Powershell isn't designed for Bash-like scripting.
>> users will be confused and angry

What an ironic statement, considering that that combination can be lethal to a company.

Besides, have you ever heard anyone say why they prefer to use Facebook even when they are aware that it is tracking their every move? Usually the answer is "convenience". By the same token, not getting confused or angry is also a great convenience to the user. Very few Wordpress users actually care about the baselessness or meritlessness of using one JavaScript library over another. They just want Wordpress to work.
Which is why no one uses it. The good thing about boost is you get to evaluate features based on merit and be choosy. Putting these in the standard creates an expectation that developers be aware of how to use them.
So, with your approach to device security, let's go with the device gets wiped upon the addition of keys.

Then the attacker installs some apps including some special ones designed to spy on the user.

Then they remove the screen lock, or set the password to something guessable or that turns up as a suggestion when Googling for "I can't get into my phone" and return the device to where the user had it last.

The naive user finds their device, gets in, and notices their data is gone. This is real harm.

Now they start using the device, and they are spied on, on an ongoing basis. This is more harm.

I'd have to say your system as described isn't working.
Perhaps it was HAARP or different kind of electromagnetic phased array?
> "There is quite a big movement right now to promote the rights of transgendered people, it's like the late 1980's for gay people - wherein stereotypes were being fought against, and issues brought into public discussion."

I don't think the "big movement" is really all that big (.3 percent in the US). If you said they were extremely vocal and loud, then I'd agree, but to say they are a big movement is an exaggeration.

> "Some will regard the 'transgender' as even a deeper transgression of 'norms and values' and to others it might engender deeper sympathies - nevertheless, it definitely adds a dynamic to the story."

I think you're right on this point, some people will care about her gender situation, others, like myself will think that its a bit gross. In any case, it should be separate from what she did and the content of what she leaked.

> pretty low for many companies

C'mon. It's not just pretty low for many companies. It's extremely low for almost all companies. Automattic found it extremely low risk for themselves.

If it's not extremely low for almost all companies, then you expect Facebook to initiate patent claims. How soon do you expect to hear that Facebook played offense on them? How many companies do you expect to hear that Facebook threatened or filed against?
Using certain CSS properties will trigger various phases of rendering in browsers. For performance reasons you want to do the minimum amount of work possible.

An example: adjusting the width of an object will understandably cause the browser to relayout the page in every browser. But what if you just wanted an animated bounce effect? You could animate the width of the object, but in practice a scale transform would perform much better in most browsers as it typically doesn’t trigger a relayout.

So this page just gives you information about which phases are triggered by which properties in which rendering engines.
The Difficulties of Being Married to Someone with a Mental Illness
Recently a man in UK was jailed because he repeatedly raped his daughter. She had told him she was lesbian, and he reportedly wanted to rape it out of her.

People in UK still face higher rates of violent crime; there's still discrimination at work; there's only very recently been legal parity; there are increased rates of death by suicide.

http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/corrective-rape-women-re...

> This week a father was jailed for 21 years for sexual offences including the long-term sexual abuse of his two daughters. The abuse of his younger daughter began when she confided in him that she might be a lesbian. It is reported that the father decided to rape his daughter to “prove” that sex with men was “better”.

> For those of us who work with asylum-seeking women, this story of the rape of a lesbian or bisexual woman is all too familiar. “Corrective rape”, as it is chillingly known, is a common experience for women in countries where homosexuality is illegal or culturally disapproved of.

> No wonder such women seek asylum in the UK, a country which in some ways flies the gay flag with pride, allowing same-sex marriage and protecting LGBT people with laws prohibiting discrimination. However, rather than being protected and given sanctuary when they arrive in the UK, so many of these women end up locked up indefinitely in Yarl’s Wood Immigration Removal Centre in Bedfordshire

What Facebook (or for that matter Google) does is not competition. They're far too large to really compete with when you're getting up and running. Everything that even gets close to something they do or might want to do gets bought out.

I can't imagine anyone thinks such a situation is in the best interest of the user.

To the extent that there's a rule to go by, it's that in general dialects are mutually intelligible and languages are not, and video of this speech is not comprehensible at all to me (a native English speaker), so that arguably pushes it into "language."

But of course there really isn't a rule, though. In practice what gets called a language vs. a dialect is mostly political. Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian are at least somewhat mutually intelligible, and Moldovan and Romanian are essentially the same language but for a border in between, as are Bosnian, Serbian, Croatian, and Montenegrin. By contrast, Mandarin and Cantonese aren't mutually intelligible at all but are supposedly both "Chinese dialects," and ditto for the various colloquial flavors of Arabic. The saying among linguists is "a language is a dialect with an army and a navy."

Unfortunately, beta-eta reduction on Church-coded terms (as in Morte) is much weaker than what is commonly understood as supercompilation, and it is false that "no matter how many layers of indirection you might add the binary size and runtime performance would be unaffected".

Again, the problem here is workers voluntarily entering into illegally mislabeled positions. Where do you get the idea that a cafeteria worker or a bus driver can't leave to work for another school? Also, these are extremely low skill positions, there's nothing stopping these people from getting other jobs, why you feel like these workers have "one choice" is beyond me.

I still don't understand what you're getting at. These people are free to work wherever they wish, and you've yet to demonstrate that there's something wrong with contracting in principle, when done legally.

People shouldn't be unionizing, they should be talking to lawyers.
I believe blue1 meant that the page could do with a short explanation at the top… I was wondering the same thing until I realised what it was about.
Startup complacency: the flip side of startup success that nobody talks about
Truthfully as a lawyer , well I am pretty close to be an ex-lawyer cause I now code for living we really dont need software so much. In my office we had an old database running on DOS when I became a lawyer in 2008. I got rid of it and replaced it with Dropbox. Used extremely simple folder structure and that was pretty much it.

I was even considering making specialised software for my father's law firm but I never saw the use for it.

99% of lawyer's work is not arragning meetings or organising documents. Even I who I was very new at the time I did a ton more photocopying documents and answering calls from clients than any form of organisation.

This is why law orientated software fails to become popular for lawyers. What we need as lawyers , what would be really appealing is an AI that can look through case law and help us formulate lega arguments. Unfortunately the technology simply is not at that level.

What makes it worse is that even though coding can be an extremely repetetive process law practices is not, you literraly dealing with diffirent problem each hour and you have to filter and combine various amount of information. You may think that organisation is the key here but because the main focus are legal arguments not so much evidence there is very little to do in that area other than having AI and feeding you ideas.

Problem is that lawyers are using a lot of thinking power and because their is not technical in some cases it can be called even philosophical , it would be very difficult for an AI to be actually useful in this area, unless there is a large leap in technology I am not aware of.

I am not a US lawyer , I am a Greek lawyer and yes we have plenty of legal software in my country as well, that almost none is using. DOS and a dual core at 2.0 GHZ is more than enough.

The problem with the third factor has always been a balance between cost, inconvenience and how easy it is to turn it into just another something an attacker has.

Retinographic analysis is gold standard but it's hellishly expensive. Fingerprints can be copied. Easily. Facial and behavioural analysis sit somewhere in the middle, with too much scope for false negatives.

So fingerprints aren't a username or password because they're not that factor... But used alone, they can be as weak as a username, in many senses.

Ah, I guess that explains it.

As an American, I've wondered for years why we armed, trained, funded, and provided cover for bin Laden and other mujahideen, al'Qaeda, ISIS, and spent trillions destabiizing the Middle East to bring death, terror, and stone age fundamentalist Islam back to the picture.

Now it makes sense. It's because it's what the American people want.
