yeah, and if you don't like the law [1], you can leave the country, except that there's no where to go. People are basically telling each other to kill themselves. It's really sad. Oh what's that, you can just try to change the law? What if laws concerning access to law making are concerned, for example? Right back to begging "your local congress man", which is a joke in my opinion, because there's no accountability. That's not just an analogy, there might be laws concerning your provider. For some, there is just one provider available and the law might enable its monopolistic position.

No, definitely not. Apple recently restricted apps' usage of URL schemes to check whether other apps are even installed on the phone.

It's possible they could be doing something really esoteric with an enterprise app (doesn't need to go through app review) or an MDM profile (can touch some deeper system stuff sometimes), but given that they're currently in the teaser email capture phase, I doubt this will ever crystallize into a real iOS implementation.

I think they're just trying to get some message out, which is fair enough. FWIW, you can always manually set your iPhone to greyscale in system accessibility settings, which they do point out themselves.

That seems harsh. If there's a paywalled article posted then it's fair of him to say that he can't access it because it's paywalled. If you have an issue with that then you should have (an issue with the HN rules and whether they should or) shouldn't allow paywalled sites/articles to be posted.
Have you read any of the other Odyssey translations? I'm very curious Wilson's translation. I read the Fagles, Latimore, and Fitzgerald translations in college and did a few weeks of translation myself in our Greek class (I went to one of those hippy-dippy "Great Books" schools).

I think I was in the minority, but I found the Fagles translation to be far and away the best. I definitely subscribe more to the school of poetic translation than literal translation, so I was intrigued by the Wilson translation. What were your thoughts?

You also have to see the context under which the politicians operated then. Unbridled capitalism had lead to colonialism and the World Wars ...

Wouldn't it be preferable to write only a forward declaration of the struct in the header files, and define the structs themselves at the .c files? In other words, wouldn't it be better to define them as Abstract Data Types (ADT) ?

That way, users of the library would have no direct access to the fields of the struct (e.g. hashtable->num_buckets;), they'd have to use a function declared at the correspondent header file. (e.g. get_num_buckets(hashtable);).

Direct access to member fields could break the data structure because data structures always needs to follow certain rules in insertion and deletion.
No, just suggesting the arb opportunity existing at all helped reel in price. I believe this was the intention.

People who smuggle other people across the Mexican border. Generally associated with cartel groups, and range from merely expensive to downright exploitative.
No....

'The Sinaloa cartel can buy a kilo of cocaine in the highlands of Colombia or Peru for around $2,000, then watch it accrue value as it makes its way to market. In Mexico, that kilo fetches more than $10,000. Jump the border to the United States, and it could sell wholesale for $30,000. Break it down into grams to distribute retail, and that same kilo sells for upward of $100,000 — more than its weight in gold. And that’s just cocaine. Alone among the Mexican cartels, Sinaloa is both diversified and vertically integrated, producing and exporting marijuana, heroin and methamphetamine as well.'

Show HN: FileNation – A simple way to send files using IPFS
Right now I am working in a new project called FileNation.

With FileNation you can easily send your files around the World using a new P2P technology called IPFS (InterPlanetary File System).

Our team is made up of 3 founders:

- Pol Baladas: founder of Seleactivitat.cat, winner of several hackathon awards and Data Science student at UPC.

- Joan Viladomat: Spain Country Manager at Landing.jobs, founder of Parkinghood and member of Ouishare.

- Alex Sicart: former CTO at Sharge, TED Speaker and Forbes 30 under 30.

FileNation is quite young but we already have some interesting achievements:

- Launch of the first functional version of our Product (MVP). https://filenation.io/

- More than 600 stars in GitHub showing the interest of the tech community. https://github.com/FileNation/FileNation

Since we are just in the beginning of FileNation and we have a very ambitious roadmap for our product.
The dot com bubble analogy is fashionable right now because it serves to push the desired narrative without having to deny or provide evidence against what is clearly a bubble. I'd imagine many of the people you see perpetuating this are the same that were denying the bubble a few months ago. However that doesn't necessarily make it wrong -- I'm very skeptical but I'd have a tough time arguing that nothing useful at all will come of crypto after a bubble pop. Wether it's worth it or not is another question.

This problem was definitively solved by David Chapman in his 1985 masters thesis:

AFAICT (I've been out of the field for a long time now) Chapman's work has been largely forgotten, which is a shame because it's brilliant IMHO. TWEAK is (or at least ought to be considered) the special relativity of classical planning.

Most of the initial commenters couldn't read the article due to paywall, that seems very on-topic.

I'm a bit torn about that. These are good articles, they should be posted/discussed.

You could link to things like the paywall bypass link I sent instead, but, there are infinite variations of those so you could end up with infinite threads about the same article which seems like a poor solution.
The risk vector isn't that the dev team will push "PR 666: add master key to all wallets". It's that someone will introduce a subtle bug (such as a side channel leaking your private key), which goes undetected for months or years, until it's revealed that they've been slowly siphoning off and selling bitcoin they weren't entitled to. In a scenario like that, people might not attribute value to the current chain or the months-old clean one.

> Why does the social network have to be publicly owned for law enforcement to be "publicly owned"?

I have to admit I moved the goalposts a bit. My thinking now goes like this: Many posts on facebook are not of strictly criminal nature, but are bad enough that they should not be public. And in the public sphere, there are many things that do not usually happen, that are frowned upon but not exactly criminal. Like defecating in public squares. Everyone can do that, but the absolute majority doesn't. And the reason we don't is peer pressure, public coercion, shame etc., not the threat of fines or proescution.

Now Facebook is a bit like a rundown shopping mall with gaming parlors, it stinks a lot, but lots of people use it and many use it specifically for the smell, so Zuckerberg has no motive to clean it up (unless a law forces him, like now, but then we get this discussion). What if facebook was instead a public square ran by citizens themselves. There would have to be some executive structure of course, but it would answer to the users and not to shareholders and advertisers, and that would change the whole dynamic of this situation, including moral/ethical norms of behavior.

And my experience from helping to run a small but general social network site (few thousand users at peak, no ads, 14 years running now) is that eventually this would work out better, because 'concerned citizens' gain the upper hand over trolls and hatemongers and most of the rest just accepts the prevalent norms and behave like decent people, without the thing getting too restrictive. Of course I know this won't happen with facebook and at that scale it's a completely different game but still, it would be nice.
No, I get why SK would want them; my question is about the US giving them nukes - more specifically, why would anyone believe that those nukes, even if the US did put them in SK, could actually be fired by the Koreans independently.

I don't think the US can convince anyone that they would really unconditionally give nukes to SK to do whatever they wanted with them.

Here's what I'd like to see. Either a plugin hybrid version of the Ford Fusion that gets at least 50 - 100 miles in EV mode (instead of 21), or something like a Tesla with a smaller (50 - 75 mile) battery powering the front wheels, with a 50-HP ICE powering the rear wheels. Something like this could still give you more than 95% EV-only, yet can still be your main car as you have the ICE as a range extender. And by trading battery for the gas engine, you end up with about the same weight/cost as a 350-mile range EV only car, but never have range anxiety.
A good friend from grad school (UK) emailed me last week. He had quit Facebook. I immediately responded and the interaction was much more meaningful than passive info sharing over Facebook. It was great to catch up, and get a more personalized and open message.

That being said it takes a lot more effort. Chances are it'll limit the number of people we keep in touch with. But that's probably not so bad, as it'll force us to focus on the people we care about most.

No the HN rules say it's ok to post paywalled articles. They then also say it's not ok to post comments complaining about it.

When I was living in Poland in the mid 1980's you were very lucky to be able to buy toilet paper, lightbulbs, bread, meat, fruit and a ton of other everyday stuff. Though lots of people knew someone who knew someone that had just slaughtered a pig which could get you some meat.

True in general. In my case I have the privilege of being white, male, and being born in the US. Pretty good stuff, but also: homeless, single mom without a high school education, living in crappy parts of the country for that kind of thing (Texas). There are (as the British would say) knock-on effects from that -- it took me a long time to learn effective spending habits. When you're poor, you spend money when you have it, because it will be going away somehow regardless of what you do. Also bad teeth, which, you know, I shouldn't be sensitive about, but I sometimes am. :)

Anyway, you're right, the privileges we're born into affect a lot of potential success. At the risk of sounding like an asshole, I'm trying to give my children all the advantages I didn't have, and genetically they're picking up the ones I did. They'd better damn well solve hunger or figure out world peace! :)

Good startups (and big tech companies) give employees refresh grants - if they continue to be a good performer, they get follow-on equity grants to replace the ones that have vested, and if they're a really good performer, the refresh grants are often significantly larger than the original hire grant.
Yeah, I was going to mention that. My dad worked for the NZ Dairy Corporation (which later merged with Kiwi Dairy to become the conglomerate known as Fonterra) at the time, and they had warehouses full of cars that they had no idea what to do with.
I like various discussion forums and talking to people online (often on IRC - when I'm programming). I like exchange of ideas, even arguing - as long as it remains respectful.

I consider message boards / forums bloated and clunky. I miss usenet and threaded discussion. Disqus technically does that, but it takes what, 20 seconds to load ? And after recent acquisition it's only going to get worse.

I think threaded discussion is much more like natural human conversation than "topics" on message boards. That's shoe-horning discussion. They invariably get off topic sooner or later, and moderators pride themselves on deleting posts that stray too far.

It boggles my mind why topic-based message boards remain popular.

Emacs is sort of a weird beast -- simultaneously tool and workbench. It can be infinitely shaped to fit the task at hand -- while it is in use -- but it integrates relatively smoothly with all the other tools available in a modern Unix environment, allowing those tools to extend the reach of Emacs without becoming part of it.

But really, I -- and everybody else -- should really just use an IDE. For OO languages you need to have intelligent refactoring (and IntelliSense) and so you need to have an IDE. Refactoring tools are to programming what nondestructive editing is to image editing: a total paradigm shift in workflow that no one these days can live without. It takes a lot of effort to extend Emacs to understand the target language well enough to support these features (and it won't be done in elisp).
