It's a sad state of the HN community that this post isn't already downvoted into oblivion.

edit: Oh look, a throwaway account!
I'm not happy either with this surveillance freak in a position with publicity. No matter how sure I am that his political attempts will fail again and again, with him repeating this bullshit over and over people are actually starting to believe things like that we need surveillance cameras to stop terrorism, even though surveillance cameras really can do fuckall about a guy hiding a bomb under his jacket and then blowing himself up or someone driving a van into a group of people.

Not to mention that this guy is actively helping out terrorists with that. He's spreading terror. He's making citizens here worry quite a bit, even though there's no real reason to be worried. You're a hundred times more likely to die of all kinds of things every day. There is no point being worried about terrorists.

Now I'm no crypto-currency expert, but from the outside looking in it seems like: In theory Bitcoin is worth $10k each or whatever it is now, but in actuality it's only worth whatever arbitrary limits the various 'exchanges' set on real-money withdraws? So how is this "decentralized"? There's still a semi-central location you have to go to in order to get any real, actual currency out of it.
You don't judge a move in poker by its outcome, but rather if it made sense given what information was available. You may not be this type of person normally, but I find that most people I come across have an incredibly hard time evaluating choices based on what information was available when they were made and not by their outcome.

In that alternate reality, there would be no Rust and no Servo, which would mean there would be no Firefox Quantum (as well as no ripgrep, fd, exa, Parity, etc.)
The opposite of a bad government is not a smaller government but a better government. Your same arguments could be used to argue that a bigger gourvenement with more authority on companies could be a solution.
Ultimately size is just a poor proxy for performance of a government and we need to start thinking in term of transparency and capabilities
The thing that annoys me the most is to change tab: on chrome / brave we can just swipe the top bar and change tab. On firefox, we need to first click on the tab button, and then find the right tab by looking at a huge list of tabs.
I find it much less practical and that's what got me back to chrome.
Well, arguably started at DigitalStyle.
I am also not a lawyer.

There is a distinction between wait indefinitely between an individual infringement occurring and suing for that incident versus picking and choosing which infringers to go after. The latter is not an option for trademarks.

Also, that appears to be an equitable defense. If successful, it would prevent an injunction to remedy the infringement but the holder of the rights in question could still pursue monetary damages. Again, I'm not a lawyer so I could be way off base here.
The only unique thing about this story is the amount of money they initially gambled.

There are lots of people who gambled on bitcoin in 2013, and the only difference is that they couldn't afford to gamble $8million.

I don't really find that particularly interesting or newsworthy
So if they had just enough people to "make Firefox", what would they do with it?

It's quite easy to see what Firefox would be with "just the browser". Take a look at some Firefox fork which packages almost identical software but with worse distribution, marketing, etc. What is the market share?
Simplify this to

write(a := read())

where write will not be executed if read fails, nor will a have any value assigned to it. Failure is an option and not an error.

So to copy standard input to standard output, we do

every write(read())

At the end of file, the read fails, the write fails and then the every fails and on you go.
I wish the Mozilla store hadn't gone away. I've used Firefox for a very long time but it's been three or four laptops ago that I was able to adorn my machine with Firefox (or Thunderbird!) stickers. Yes, it's a small thing, and I tout Firefox whenever I can, but I'm also a sucker for something I can slap on something that I carry around.

(I suppose I could also just make my own or have someone print them up for me alongside giving money to the Mozilla Foundation.)
> The chairwoman takes over $1M year? Why would an open source project need anyone who would be so unethical? This is like a city councilperson paying themselves $1M/year.

The Mozilla Corporation is 100% owned by the Mozilla Foundation. The Foundation determines the loan of the chairperson. And they pay the chairperson so much, because the industry pays chairpersons so much. Mitchell could find an even better paying job in no time, I'm sure.
Lots of people with high risk-tolerance got kind of rich by buying Bitcoin early. The only difference with the Winklevosses is that they had a lot more money to leverage in that early investment. It's not improbable that someone was going to have a lot of money and put it into Bitcoin.
Note those releases were based on an entirely different codebase to the Windows version of IE.
The reason why it’s expensive is that no HTML5 proposals are taking into account the cost of development and maintenance. “Anything goes” as long as it competes with the walled-garden platforms. Spending without budgeting nor cost evaluation is similar to going to a casino spending your life savings thinking you’re the lucky one.
> (Apple mandates that all alternative browsers use the system-bundled WebKit for user experience reasons)

So far, this is the only thing that really drives me bonkers about iOS and has for a long time. I'd love to be able to use an actual third-party browser with a third-party rendering engine, even if it meant having to install a particular signing certificate or some such. Doubly so for using browser-specific extensions. Who knows, maybe iOS 15?

(While I'm wishing for ponies, the ability to change OS-level default applications would be nice.)
is not bad, if they sell and the bitcoin price crashes, so what if it crashes, will only get more adoption, because is more useful than gold, especially with the new generation, and gold market cap is so much bigger than bitcoin, I would love a crash to buy some, rather than spending it on things I don't really need.
If Experian were really sneaky they'd pay teams of hackers to steal personal data from businesses so the affected businesses would then have to buy huge contracts for free credit monitoring for their users from Experian. That's not what's happening here, obviously, but it'd make a great Hackers-esque movie.
Apparently, they also sent out an e-mail with the same text to their customers, with an addendum that they are going to try to get a certificate for each customer with other CAs, and that to opt-out, one has to send them an e-mail.

I found that addendum quite strange. Such thing should be opt-in, in my opinion.
The awesome youtube channel Applied Science put out a 40 minute intro video to melting your own glass a week or two ago, going into the equipment, chemistry and recipies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUcUy7SqdS0 In particular, he talks about making your own photochromic glass that changes color in response to light.

I'd highly recommend his channel to anyone interested in science and fabrication.
Ask HN: Transfer app between developer accounts on PlayStore
I am an indie app developer, and recently, I received a pitch from a local dev shop to buy one of my Android apps. Now I haven't sold an app before, and the thing is that I have single account from which I've released multiple apps. I need to remove this app, and associated services from my account and move them to the other guy.

I found a page (https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/6230247?hl=en) on Google support which talks about transferring apps between developer accounts, but I am looking for information on what all things I should additionally take care of, and how much time does it usually take for the actual transfer to happen. All help appreciated.

While the downvotes serve to show disagreement the lack of arguments also shows where the downvotes come from.
But hey, animated poop icon. Apple's priorities are clear, or Tim Cook's anyway.
You're confusing "non-profit" with "volunteer work". Mozilla is, organizationally, no different than a for-profit venture, only with the mandate that all revenue is to be reinvested.

As such, they compete with all other software companies for talent. Sure, maybe working on an open source browser brings you satisfaction. But they could do so at Google, and get paid accordingly. I'm quite sure the compensation package for a Googler supervising 1200 programmers far exceeds $1 million.

As for how many people it takes to create and maintain a competitive browser, I'll take their experience over your wild guess. Remember that MS Excel Installer Team of 32 people? Yeah–big consumer software products are a beast, even if not targeting 5 operating systems.

And when Google comes around and is willing to give you $XXX million annually to set the default search engine to the one you would choose anyway, should they just turn down the money and go with bing out of spite?

Yeah, Mozilla has had its failures. It still seems terribly unfair to shit on them like this, considering all the good they have done, and are now doing again.
10 Hours to Launch – DomainWatchBot on Telegram
I have been making side projects for the past 15 years. The problem: I never went public about them. In 2017 I vowed to myself that I will change that. I did a great job in procrastinating on this for the past 11 month. But now I kicked myself over the edge and just went for it.

I made @DomainWatchBot (on Telegram) in less than 10 hours. And now I am here to tell my story.

I hope you try the bot and please send me some feedback.

He'd pay taxes as if he sold at fair market value. This scenario has occurred time and time again when someone acquires a lot of wealth through investment.

His best option would probably be to create an irrevocable trust which pays him a percentage every quarter. Then he won't owe any taxes on what has already accrued.

Then he can consider expatriation or moving to Puerto Rico.
they're protesting the status quo.

It's not about what is legal, or what is habitually done. It's about how things should be.

"Well why aren't they protesting every company?" There are only so many hours in the day.

A guy I used to work with quit many years ago to trade bitcoin.

He developed some buy/sell strategies that netted small profits, but he said it was hard to scale it up.

IIRC he said some days his trades alone counted for 10% of trading on the exchange. No idea which exchange it was or how long ago.

This also is basically buy-sell neutral, trying to get in/out same number of coins per day or per week. A number of other bitcoin market makers probably do something similar.

Given that, I wouldn't naively assume a daily volume number on exchange means the exchange could absorb an increase of one-sided sell orders that's even a good fraction of that volume notional without a major price drop.

Also given the lack of regulation I wonder how much of that volume is churning. Ie, fake trades just to increase volume (something illegal on regulated exchanges for stocks, swaps, and other financial products). Bitcoin billionaires have major incentives to keep BTC prices high, and I could seem them easily paying 'negligible' transaction costs to create artificial volume.

But of course I have no idea (like everybody else on this thread).

In addition, Fabric doesn't support Python 3. The feedback I've gotten back on when Python 3 will be supported and how much of the legacy fabric API's will be supported is even more limited.

There is a fork with Python 3 support: https://github.com/mathiasertl/fabric/

If you use fabtools, I maintain a fork of it for fabric3: https://github.com/develtech/fabtools/tree/fabric3
Question: Is there actually a good Independent browser for Windows at this time? That is, not Firefox, not Chrome, not Chrome-Opera, not Vivaldi (alias Chrome-Opera-2), and also not based on Chromium, WebKit, Blink, Gecko, Trident, or any of the major bits of one of the corporate browsers? The closest that I can see is Pale Moon, but even they are just a "better" fork of Firefox.
It is control over however, of the tangible embodiment of an idea. Like in movies where people fight over the last Bible in a post-apocalyptic world. The secular representation has a high degree of influence because true embodiment is too fragmented. The idea of the elephant only occurs with multiple people in multiple areas being able to observe their immediate environment (trunk, legs, etc..). If you take away the tools that allow for idea harmonization then the idea is crippled. Instead of a moving living elephant you have a chimera, or only static snapshots of what was.
Besides the obvious benefits to Apple, I believe the reason behind this is because allowing JIT execution would open up a security risk.
Great on the ACLU for making progress :)
Bridging the Gap Between Wearables and Healthcare
There are exactly four major engines, each of which has a flagship browser: Blink/Chrome, WebKit/Safari, Gecko/Firefox, and EdgeHTML/Edge.
Is their QA department in disarray?

It's not a matter of one department, it's a matter of culture which starts from the top. Jobs insisted on perfection, and that permeated the entire organisation. Cook is satisfied with gimmicks and is contented to just coast on the reputation Jobs earned. He just doesn't have the personal stake Jobs had, he's a manager not a leader. Just like the iconic HP was never the same once Fiorina took over.
I can empathise but wouldn't you prefer to know the true causes rather than fictional ones?

For that particular pairing, it might be self-esteem, how the individual handles other people's perception of themselves etc. If they can get a handle on the real causes, they can then build techniques to use SM without it being a drain and extract more benefits.

The reason I think its important and not just an optimisation is that one day, the gym might stop being positive. When the positives stop working, you then have a limited time window to fix the situation before you enter a downward spiral. IMHO better to get your hands on the real tools earlier.
Federal doesn't matter, until it does. It's decisive, for example, for war and peace. Those tend to have rather large effects on people.

Even without considering the lives lost, both American and foreign: The Afghan & Irak war have cost $5 trillion over the years. That's $60,000 for every US family of four that could have been put to other uses if those wars had been limited to a fast and cheap campaign against the Taliban government.
How many layers of indirection do need the money to pass through before you would feel ethical? That is, and using your example of "arms contractors" as an example an unethical business, would you feel comfortable working for a company who has arms contractors as customers? Or a company who has customers who have arms contractors for customers?

I ask this seriously. I personally often feel that there is no way to be a part of the modern economy without being complicit in an awful lot of evil. An issue that frequently bothers me is whether it's moral to make money by catering to the desires of those who made their money doing things that I would personally consider immoral. Then what about those who made their money doing business with those you find immoral?

Is there any solution other than abandoning morality or avoiding gainful employment? Are there useful references to read about these issues?
Apple has officially jumped the shark.

gold is a 2000 years bubble, which financial regulator, US accounts for 25% of the trading volume, in Japan is legal tender, the problem for 1 single country to let's say ban it, is that you don't want to be left behind, unless you're a dictatorship.

It’s extremely annoying.

Either own up to what you say, or don’t say anything.
No one alluded to not taking responsibility. But mistakes happen. Some things are confusing. OP isn't blaming Apple. But he would like some help reversing a mistake that anyone could have made due to the confusion that having separate itunes and apple gift cards causes.
I would first target a subset of HTML, for example static documents instead of web apps. You would have a specification like AMP which restricts what elements you can use. If a document used the full spec, I would fallback to another engine (e.g. WebKit). You could have full documents in iframes inside limited documents (but cross-frame scripting might be hard to get right in that case).

Also, I would try to make it as modular as possible. E.g. layout engine, css engine, js engine etc. as libraries, use the system codecs instead of bundling own codecs, and so on.

And it would help to have an extensive test suite, which you could take from other browsers.
I don't think anyone democratically voted for enshrining tax arbitrage across the bloc - this is the Irish government, a massive recipient of EU subsidies, gaming the system.

I've used SqlAlchemy with Flask. You only need a few lines of code to integrate them.

But yes, with Flask (or similar frameworks/libraries), you need to do the integrations yourself with the components you want to use. Advantage of Flask in this regard is, you don't need to fight with Flask to make it happen. That's why I'm saying it's better suited for complex apps that you want to build with your own abstractions.

The real problem is the cargo cult thinking when it comes to frameworks, instead of doing a cost/benefit analysis and thinking about trade-offs.

Following statements like "Django for complex apps, Flask for 100 lines of apps" without researching the reasons behind probably will result in more problems in the future.
It likely exists anywhere universities rely on alumni’s donations, i.e. anywhere universities are private businesses, like in UK. Probably not a big deal in places where unis are state-funded and places are not limited.
> Apple mandates that all alternative browsers use the system-bundled WebKit for user experience reasons

Not entirely true: Every browser developer is free to use whatever engine they like on iOS. Mozilla could use Gecko, Google could use Blink. They just don’t do it, because what’s not allowed is JITs (because security), thus 3rd-party JS-engines would always be slow.

So the reason everybody uses WebKit on iOS is not that they are forbidden own engines, but only JITs, so Apples is faster.
Does that answer the question at all? :-)
so just how much power will it use if i were to fire up a miner on one of these? i know itd cost a small fortune but id be interested to see just how high it would auto scale to as its billed as "unlimited"
I guess every purchase should require an interrogation. Thanks for your thoughts on liberty.
This is a valuable resource for developers trying to integrate with google services. The API explorer is the what I go to after reading the API documentation. The Google API explorer is a lot more usable compared to some of the swagger/openAPI based ones.
You should read up on GDPR urgently. It applies to anyone anywhere in the world processing data of EU citizens and has some massive penalties for things like not asking for specific informed consent and not offering an opt out. Using the excuse that you're just aggregating public data does not cut it.

I wish someone would just port Firefox mobile to iOS. You don't have to put it on the app store (which is impossible). Just zip up the xcode project, let me swap in my developer key, and run it on my phone. The protections against JIT and so on are enforced by policy, not by technology.

I understand it would be a lot of effort for little gain. But if more developers would offer their stuff as self-signable "xcode projects" (maybe even just a .dylib and some wrapper source), it would be really cool.

So screw over all the people that made transactions with the hacked bitcoins before the hack was found.

Holy fucking shit! Now that I think about this, it is a massive timebomb waiting to happen! Once you have hacked the bitcoins, you can tumble them with other bitcoins, exchange them to other cryptocurrencies (which are also 1 way transactions so the person exchanging with the hacked coins is completely SOL), or exchange to fiat currencies (although that would probably be the most traceable so probably not). As you tumble and exchange the cryptocurrencies more and more, it becomes more and more difficult to hard fork the currencies to undo the hack.

My wild prediction. At some point:

1: Some black hat will gain a controlling compute share of a cryptocurrency (either the chinese ASIC companies or a massive AWS/google cloud/azure... cloud mining to override the majority share and convince the network that some illegal transactions occurred).

2: They will then proceed to massively tumble the hacked coin through different exchanges through multiple different cryptocurrencies so that hard forking is nigh impossible to undo the hack.

3: Cryptocurrencies all crash because they are susceptible to mining takeovers which cannot be detected quickly enough to hardfork to undo the hack which render their whole design impractical.
