Tell HN: There Appears to Be Another Signal App on the Apple App Store

The Aria attributes can be used to block at least some of the junk, eg in ublock origin:

there's stuff that's no longer easy to block this way, like promoted crap in the replies to a tweet. But if that gets to be an issue, I'll just greasemonkey it. Even with obfuscated classes, the injected content is easy to identify, it's just that css doesn't let you style 'elements containing (some complicated several layers deep selector)'

I did fine; mostly at prediction. Anyone who can't see the writing on the wall is fooling themselves, and telling young people otherwise (aka just study X as a generic javascript dude who studied in collitch) is a terrible, terrible thing.

Schools who sell sugar plum fairies should stake their students success. Are you willing to give this kid advice that you're on the financial hook for for the next 40 years?
> I look at it a little differently. The urban cores in the USA are actively hostile places for anyone to be. You step outside your door...into an empty hallway of doors. You take an elevator or stairs down to a place with a few mailboxes, then step outside.

> Outside, you have a narrow strip of concrete, possibly with a few trees, that you are allowed to inhabit. Beyond it is as asphalt with two ton steel contraptions whizzing past at speeds that will maim or kill you.

> There are a few places you can go from here. There are a few parks, where you can have some green space, along with the sound of the steel contraptions. There are other strips of concrete throughout the city between the contraptions' domain and the buildings. There are places you can pay to be allowed to occupy for a time. There are places you are paid to be for some number of hours each day. And there's the public library if you can reach it.

You've actually described the typical suburb. Step outside your door into a narrow strip of concrete, possibly with a few trees, and a shortly cut lawn, that you, at great expense of time, and money are allowed to maintain and inhabit (As long as you maintain it to the asinine, often environmentally-harmful expectations of your HOA/Municipality). Beyond that is a frequently sidewalk-less asphalt road, with two ton steel contraptions that are either stationary, or moving at speeds that will maim you.

There is nowhere you can go without getting into a car. (Corollary: Your neighbour will be driving home from the bar, every other Friday, drunk as a skunk.) The nearest park is a mile away. You have some green space you can look at, but its all owned by other people, and if you spend too long gawking at a stranger's yard, somebody might call the cops. [1] If you drive far enough, you may find dreary places where you can pay to be allowed to occupy for a time, called stripmalls. A few may even contain a library.

The former Toys R Us liquidated its stores, and a different company called Tru Kids acquired the Toys R Us brand name. There are a few people in common between the two companies, but intuitively it doesn't seem that the original Toys R Us survived. At the end of the day, people owed money didn't get paid, and a historically uninvolved PE firm did get ppaid.

The article [1], rather, seems to present the 2005 buyout as the terminal blow to a weak company; it was only after 2005 that maintenance of the physical stores was neglected.

Also, it's not clear how the specific reforms proposed by Warren prevent restructuring and changes in management.
How would hosting the site partially on-prem make things better?

Yep...there are dynamic languages (Ex: APL and Common Lisp) where you can use OO primitives, but it usually isn't as encouraged if at all. I don't recall hearing much about proper design patterns in those languages. I'm not saying they don't exist, but it isn't a big deal. Smalltalk on the other hand forces you to do OO and I just read most of a book on the proper design patterns to use in it. It certainly isn't as bad as when I started to learn Java (it's almost a minor miracle to me that as much stuff gets built in Java as it does with all the straight-jacket boilerplate it has) but it is definitely there. Especially in the scripting arena (shorter programs of maybe a page or two) I find that nearly all OO scripts I see would generally be shorter and clearer as a few global data structures and some functions to operate on it.
By all means investigate with your own due diligence using reputable lawyers, if you think its worth the cost (think of it like a casino - what do you assess is the probability of getting $1M - is there even likely to be $1M lying around that you forgot about)?

But DO NOT for any reason contact this company that cold emailed you because I'd put it at 99.99% probability that it's a scam. It's the same scam format as the classic 419 scam. But you kind of know this already, because you asked on HN!

A friend of mine taught high school math until recently. He told me a similar thing about math. The kids who are "good at math" in elementary school don't necessarily become the top math students later on. He felt that his best math students were the ones who were just curious about a lot of things as kids.

Email is similarly unencrypted by default and can be blocked if encrypted and being used as an active circumvention vector. Yes, mail servers outside the jurisdiction could work until https access to gmail is also blocked- but that’s not outside the realm of possibility (see: China) and also begs the question: how do you get to your secure gmail web interface if you need to receive a secure email before your first login?

Well, it's unnecessary work to install and maintain that internal CA. Keeping CA key safe is very important, because leaked key might lead to your internal connections to, e.g., Google be compromised, so it's like keeping a bomb inside your building. If you already have that internal PKI, you can use it, sure, but I still think that it's a bad idea to use it only for internal websites.

As a DBA, I can say that it takes 5 to 10 years for a new database or file system to be ready (reliable, few global mutexes, third-party tools, programming language support, etc.) for production with paid customers.

So you should be using MySQL or Postgres for the Source of Truth (SoT) and things like Cassandra or CockroachDB for specialized use cases (caches, end-user metrics with TTL, etc.) But I would never put important data in a distributed database since there's too many moving parts and it's impossible to verify if the input matches the output over a decade.

If you need multi-master for failover today, I would pick Percona XtraDB Cluster (I've used it in production for 5 years) or MySQL 8.

If you don't have paying clients, then it really doesn't matter what tools you choose.

An example of the above is MongoDB, irrationally beloved by HN. Until recently it had a global write mutex and a POS (myisam-class) storage engine. After most companies migrated off of it for production, there are two Innodb-class storage engines now (native and WiredTiger) that add credibility ... after a decade of data loss and poor write performance. Those new engines will be ready for heavy-duty use in ... about 5 years.
to be clear, I'm not saying it's totally not viable to just release a good game and charge for it upfront. there is a small number of studios/publishers who have such good brand recognition (or just consistently ship really good games) that they can actually make money this way. it can still work well for games with little ongoing maintenance cost from established companies making AAA titles or indie devs who don't have the same upfront costs.

all I'm saying is that there are other "game-as-a-service" models that can align incentives well between players and devs for ongoing projects without necessarily being abusive.

GGP is sort of right though. gamers are a notoriously difficult group of customers to please, and they don't really have a way to understand the business or technical constraints faced by the makers of their favorite games. the worst of them will be uncharitable and hostile, no matter what you do.

Instead of summarizing the terms, it could be like nutrition facts warnings. Cross certain lines in the actual terms and you're required to put "See full terms for what your personal data can be used for" or something. If the terms cross lines without putting the warnings, they can't be enforced.

That's probably inevitable - just as you can't have your cake and eat it too, you can't have a payment network that's freely usable by major companies who do business in USA and also by those under USA sanctions such as Iranians.

If a system is truly permissionless and decentralized so that everyone who's willing can technically participate without restrictions, then all first world companies will be prohibited to do commerce in that system (unless it's for trivial amounts or they do their own KYC/customer analysis to implement the restrictions), and if some system is going to be implemented by first world companies, then they'll be required to ensure that it's not truly permissionless and can keep certain actors out of it.

If you're an engineer, the best way IMHO is to work with other engineers on a trial basis or tiny project if you can. Interviews are usually of low utility, especially non-engineers doing the hiring or interviews that don't delve into real engineering problem-solving. You will develop a better gut sense and know good engineers when you see them: relentlessly resourceful, picks-up concepts fast, asks good questions, cleverly pragmatic, anticipating "gotchas" and hopefully bearable/approachable.

PS: "10x" seems like a buzzword blogger fashion than anything useful.
I would actually be shocked if US agencies can't do the same here almost all the time. There has to be at least one trusted root authority that is controlled by an agency. Do you remember when RSA made a $10 mil deal to give .gov a backdoor back in the day. There is no reason any major US based certificate issuer couldn't do the same, or an employee turned into an asset to sneak it to them, or they just straight hack the places and get certs they can generate anything on. You might be able to detect it by logging the issuer of the cert, the browser doesn't care who auths it as long as it is trusted. It would be odd for most places to have certs issued by multiple authorities.
Japan has one of the lowest birthrates in the world, well below replacement rates. Their society is also consists almost entirely of Japanese that all share the same culture. It would be very hard to emulate what they do and even so, no real guarantee that it would change anything.

I'm not employed as a programmer, so I'm somewhat detached from the business. I've noticed that the programmers and other kinds of engineers tend to split off into two different camps. There are "qualitative" engineers who are good at arranging and organizing things, and fitting things together. There are "quantitative" engineers, who solve problems through the application of math and science principles.

A small difference along one of these directions amplifies itself over time, as problems are assigned based on aptitudes and interests, resulting in a growing division. And I don't know if there's a consistent ratio across industries or businesses, but at the shop where I work, it's roughly 90% qualitative, and 10% quantitative. Any problem involving math is brought to the small handful of "math people." They end up being busy enough with just that kind of work and nothing else. If a project runs into a math problem, it grinds to a halt until one of the math people can spare some attention.

Likewise, the qualitative folks are perpetually busy too. Nobody is short of work because of gaps in their abilities. So I think it's quite fair to say that a programmer can do without math, if they find the right niche, but a programming project might need one or two math people from time to time.
My thoughts on this:

Did Livevideo offer anything new or different to what Youtube already had? Was it better than Youtube in any way?

We shouldn't forget Google couldn't compete with Youtube either. Google had to buy Youtube because Googlevideo was not as good.

Twitch found a way to compete just fine.
OK so I don't see the problem. I'm not trying to be insensitive or anything. I went through the same process. Is it a pain in the bum? Yes. Are the delays way too long? Yes. But at the end of the day, when you start the GC application process you usually get your temporary documents after a few months (it was 2 for me, another comment claims 6, I guess YEMV) and that's it. Then yeah, it's a pain to have to wait a year to have your marriage scrutinized by an immigration agent, but in the mean time, you can work, travel, etc.

My original comment was just wondering how a "immigrant marriage visa" would change anything.
>increases in property taxes

Progressive income taxation should make this moot. Also many expenses are likely tax-deductible. Combined with FHA terms, mortgage interest deduction, etc. and this is actually rather tax-advantaged over regular rentals

Sugar and caffeine, it's addictive twice over.

Although that also describes another beverage, coffee. The difference between the coffee and soft drink industries is interesting though. Two massive corporations dominate almost the entire soft drink industry, with a handful of minor providers (notably Keurig Dr Pepper) and a long tail of much smaller 'boutique', novelty, or regional brands. Comparatively, no coffee company controls as much of the industry as either the Coca Cola Company or PepsiCo do.

(Also, PepsiCo in particular owns a ton of other non-beverage brands. Their subsidiary Frito-Lay produces the brands Lay's, Cheetos, Doritos, etc. PepsiCo is huge for American consumers. To your point though, snack food isn't much better than sugar water.)
There are two different usages here: queer as umbrella term inclusive of LGBT etc, and queer as a specific identity. The usage as identity of its own is intentionally ambiguous/expansive but frequently implies some form of gender fluidity.

The term can also ambiguously imply a particular political stance with regard to the role of gender in society, or more strongly a particular leftist philosophy.

I am gay man, I do not identify as queer, I think that is pretty common. I'm fine mostly with the umbrella term, but also don't identify with enough parts of that politics that I wouldn't use the term myself ever.

The original commenter is right that the apps don't necessarily seem welcoming to the specifically queer identified.

> What I really meant to highlight is you cannot have a business online that google does not approve of without great difficulty

I disagree. I have worked at several companies with very successful sales and marketing departments where referrals from google were a noticeable but ultimately unimportant part of the revenue picture. I have also worked at a place that literally lived and died by the grace of a top ranking on google, once we hit the 2nd and then 3rd page, the business was basically dead. This sucked, but it was very nice for the company that replaced us. There is no inherent reason why one company should be entitled to the slot any more than any other (besides the google algorithm that determines ranking).
I mean, probably no.

This sounds like a poor idea for environmental conservation. There's already enough people reproducing, beyond the replacement rate (that is to say, faster than the rate of people dying). Maybe not the in the USA, but elsewhere in the world. The global population is growing.

This makes sense if:

a. you stumble across a bug by accident

b. you can get that $30K often enough to be a nice income in your country

c. you can turn the fame into a book deal, tenure, consulting success, or similar

Otherwise, it makes a lot more sense to take a salary with full benefits. For example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19797601
The scenario I'm talking about is not synthesising a RAW file from scratch, but being able to freely edit it and save the result back into a RAW file that looks "original". I don't think you've made any statements that indicate that doing that would be complex.

Again, this is not about faking a RAW file from scratch, just being able to edit it in place.
