Not 100%. In Threema, a malicious server could replay an old add-this-user message after that user has been removed from the group to re-add it to the group. But it could never add new users (since add messages are encrypted by the admin). Also, the server can't tell group control messages from regular text messages, making this even harder. Replay protection has been added in the meantime.

> Well, they used not to notice it as they were writing off the local taxes against fed taxes.

Deducting state taxes make state taxes look exactly like loss of income. If you would notice an equally heavy loss of income, you'll notice state taxes even with full deductibility.

Now, if it was a federal tax credit at full value of state taxes paid, sure, you wouldn't notice the state taxes. But that was never the situation.
While any comprehensive survey on the topic will likely show your comment to be an example of false equivalence, I cannot help but think this may be the one instance where it actually serves a useful purpose.

If, somehow, it became a common narrative that the Democratic Party was equally blatant in their abuse of the power of redistricting, finding legislative solutions to this cancer on democracy may come within reach.

I'm probably not the first to stumble upon this wisdom, as I seem to recall one of the people responsible for the map in Maryland admitting to similar reasoning along the lines "as long as it is legal, we have to use this tool so as to survive".

> At this point, the property should be razed (roof issues, structural issues, mildew, pests), but that costs money too.

And when this sort of thing gets truly out of control, you end up with Detroit syndrome. A city with a tax base so small it can't even afford to tear down unlivable properties - and consequently can't encourage reconstruction that might expand the tax base.

Hell, Detroit got to the point where serial arson was one of the major ways of cleaning up abandoned properties. I think people underestimate the degree to which this sort of disuse is not just a missed opportunity but an active harm.
I like how smart, cool and autonomous a cat is. It's an adventure to teach a dog where to poop, but put the kitten in the sandbox, maybe dip your hand in it for a second, and they just learn it straight away. I had three kittens about a year and a half ago, their mom was killed by a car while they were less than a month old. We fed them, changed the sand, played with them a couple times a day and cuddled them, and in a bunch of months they were ready to go their way. I love dogs too, but they are way more harder to take care of, and they'll just poop anywhere. They are way more playful than cats, though some cats can be very playful too.

I'd rather pet somebody elses dog and have a cat for myself.

No, agnivade's post was earlier, as you can see from its ID as well as from https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=mozillagfx.wordpress..... We put it in the second-chance queue, described at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11662380 and links back from there.
When we see a good article that fell through the cracks and put it in the second-chance queue, we try to pick the first submission of the article.

When we do this, the submission timestamp on the front page becomes the time it was put in the queue, approximately. That's why it looked like a later post than yours. I don't like doing this, but not doing it invariably triggers a barrage of questions and complaints ("what is this 2-day old story with 3 upvotes doing on the front page"). You can always see the original timestamp by looking at the submission in the user history (https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=agnivade) or the site history (https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=mozillagfx.wordpress....).

If they get good enough, I can totally imagine them being keyboard-driven too. I'd love to be able to just type a quick "email" saying "order paper towels" when I'm at work and not have to shout into my phone in a quiet office.

(To be sure, the tech for a lot of this already exists they're just not exposing a text-based version.)

I wouldn't want to be quite as verbose for a text-based version, but oftentimes it really is easier to type more versus less if you're confident the recipient will read and parse the intent of the whole phrase.
The smart contract that performs these actions still exists and anyone can (and some people like me do) interact with it without touching the website UI / front end. The pictures of kitties are easily recreated once you have all the secrets of the genome, which we do (well, there could be more secrets but we could recreate the ones we know about which is all we can/could care about). The legal aspect of that latter part is murky but the CK devs promise they are working to clarify despite the complexity of this new space.

Yeah the game would lose 99.9% of its potential userbase without the front end, but if the remaining 0.1% wanted to build a new web interface we could and the game could go on. This may seem similar to spinning up a legacy WoW server, but the difference here is that we’d still have our own actual kitties and no be able to cheat the system so the game integrity remains in the blockchain version.

Not by itself, but it does provide a portion of what is needed. Specifically:

> The developer may want to use the policy to assert a promise to a client or an embedder about the use—or lack of thereof—of certain features and APIs. For example, to enable certain types of "fast path" optimizations in the browser, or to assert a promise about conformance with some requirements set by other embedders - e.g. various social networks, search engines, and so on.

You're right that there's more to it though.

On the subject of OSS projects on the side, I'm really interested in the dual licensing model - I'd like to have my code licensed under a strict copyleft license so people can see the code, but a more permissive license so businesses can use it.

Based on articles like http://www.mikeperham.com/2015/11/23/how-to-charge-for-your-... I've figured out the following:

OSS license - AGPL - I'm building web services distributed as docker containers, so AGPL makes sense because it forces businesses to buy a license even if thy just deploy an instance of the service without modification.

Commercial license - this is where I'm stuck. MIT / BSD isn't a good fit because the business is then free to make and sell their own version of the service. What license will allow a business to run my service, and customize it for their own needs if necessary, but not re-license or redistribute it? Based on https://choosealicense.com/appendix/ it seems like the Mozilla Public License comes close, but it forces businesses to disclose the changes they've made - which I doubt they'd want to do.

I don't want to write my own license - anyone know of a good existing license or template? Don't mind buying it if it's less than $100, but getting a lawyer to write one is much more expensive.

Echo Arena. Best VR game out there hands down.
No, worse. That thing would turn into the tumble dryer from hell with partial power. It has no blade pitch control (like a helicopter does), requiring power on the motors in all four corners to maintain stability.

The real emergency situation to worry about would be a total power failure. Failure of the individual electric motors will likely be extremely rare but a battery fire or controller failure could send this thing falling like a rock due to the lack of auto-rotation. It has a BRS chute but that won't do anything in the critical ~500ft band above ground level, too low to deploy normally. Additionally, I hope they've figured out how to guarantee safe chute deployment while inverted because of the tendency to tumble with no/partial power.
Ask HN: What's the best way for a 16-year-old to guarantee their success?
Hi there HN. I'm a 16-year-old who isn't quite sure where they need to go next.

I'm a confident web developer working with the JavaScript stack (Node.js/React). Though I've been moving towards Rust these days because I don't like the ecosystem.

I am doing an apprenticeship in webdev but am not really learning anything, but I'm okay with that. I am very lucky to be in this position.

I don't really have any ideas for something to develop and sell. Actually, that's a lie. I have a few, but I don't think they would lead anywhere. It feels as though the SaaS market is heavily saturated and almost everything that money can be made from, already exists.

I was thinking about going into cryptocurrency, but it's difficult for someone my age to get into, highly volatile, and I prefer the technology side to it rather than trading anyway.

I also enjoy learning about netsec. I've executed some common attacks in the past such as deauths and MITM attacks using open source tools, but haven't been able to do anything especially impressive with what I know. But again, I feel like this would just lead to a 9-5 job, albeit well paying.

If I had to define a goal, it would be the same as most peoples. Retire early. Perhaps I'm just asking the same question as they are.

Thanks.

I think of the definition of "gated community" as a little squishy so I wasn't sure of absolutes. Now that I think about it more though, the "gate" part pretty much necessitates private roads as public roads would be open to the public. Kinda feel silly, "public" is in the name.

The thing that I don't understand, as a developer, is how these types of bugs even make it in to these releases. Was the "lock" functionality in System Preferences changed at all in any meaningful way for the App Store panel. It doesn't seem like anything about that functionality is sufficiently different so how did this break? Did they bypass the check in order to work on the panel and forget to re-enable it or something? I just don't see how these things happen...

Edit: I just checked an old work machine that we have and the lock isn't even included on the App Store pane in Sierra. This leads me to believe that the only bug here is the inclusion of the lock icon and prompt without the actual code behind it to do the authentication. Seems like the bug is that someone put a lock where it wasn't supposed to be or it was added for a future addition to this panel. Either way, definitely not as major as I first thought.

Exactly. Successive governments in the UK waste vast amounts on money on stuff like health service reform, which get unpicked by the next government. It is deeply stupid the amount of money we in the UK spent on brand new nursery schools that were built 2000-2010 and then abandoned after 2010.
And that type of investment creates higher QOL for the residents who live there, I don't think anyone would argue that as the case for sprawly suburbs.

Apple's compliance with Beijing is morally weak but financially strong, not just for them but for Apple Developers.

A month ago, Apple noted that it has 1.8 million developers in China (and/or developers publishing to China -- not clear to me). At any rate, the Apple platform has made those developers $17 billion dollars.[1]

So China is big business for Apple developers and I assume many of those developers are US/CA/EU/AU/etc. who benefit from the platform being available in China.

> If all the described events happened in Mexico then you'd get back pesos. If all that stuff happened in the US you'd get back dollars.

Say I'm dealing with a subsidiary of a Mexican corporation that operates in the US. They ask for payment in MXN, but both they and I know they're going to send it to their parent corporation, converting it to MXN in the process. They and I also know that, to get the refund, they'll have to pull MXN out of their treasury and convert it back to USD. But I still did pay USD to the subsidiary—my card didn't automatically convert USD to MXN to pay them or anything.

I would expect, in this case, that my refund should happen from the subsidiary, and should be the original USD I transferred, even if that now costs them more to convert back than it was worth going in.

However, I would also expect that if the corporation entered bankruptcy, and was unwinding its debt obligations, then I, as a creditor, would probably only see the current MXN value of the parent corporation's liability to me. (Or rather, the subsidiary—who owes me the money—would unwind with no assets held to pay out, so I would then sue the parent corporation for said assets, and end up with MXN.)

These are not questions anyone should be "trained" to ask. These are natural questions that should come up when asked to implement some requirement.

When I'm handed a requirement I don't go run off and start typing code. I ask clarifying questions because I have never once seen a req that didn't make me have questions. That should come natural.
