I use an external feed reader, inoreader (and am thinking about using Gnome Feeds or whatever its called when it's a little less buggy), so it's useful for that anyways. I can just paste the home page in instead of digging around for a feed link in footers and what not. But I take your point, Firefox removing support really hurt me at the time too.
I had this a few years back, but their explanation made a lot of sense: "even if you tell us, we're going to apply exactly the same fraud detection algorithms anyway."
Prion pathophysiology isn't completely understood, and there's some literature to suggest certain types are caused by environmental factors.

Regardless, curing cell aging is only the first step in "curing" aging. Some cell types simply stop dividing as a natural part of the lifecycle, and it isn't necessarily telomere related.

Additionally, the only cells that don't shorten telomeres over time are cancer cells. Aging is a complicated process we don't understand.
yes, that's what I said. For the longest time they only had comments though and not the posts themselves (or at least, they didn't advertise it if they already did). Now they have it but they don't have a proper meta tag and they don't link to it anywhere that I can find.

Very cool that you made these apps. I’ve wanted to make some educational apps for quite some time, but have been too lazy / indecisive about the whole thing.

If you don’t mind sharing, how are the apps doing? Are you seeing consistent downloads? How about pricing? I noticed both are free—are you planning to monetize at all?

You don’t have to answer anything you’re not comfortable with. This is just a space I’m interested in, and I wanted to see how your experience has been.
1. Not an emergency, but I'll see what I can do (although the 3 schools my kids have been in have had spare clothes on hand for these situations)

2. Good. I'll be there when I can being that you're not asking for my consent and are more than qualified to make that decision

3. You already have a list of my child's allergies. Follow your policy which I have already agreed to, but thank you for the non-urgent notification

If Trump’s account gets hacked it will be difficult to tell the difference between his normal incoherent ranting.
Unless they believe they can get away with it.

Let's not be naive. The Big Brother agenda of Google didn't happen in a vacuum. They have government support and protection from some factions of our intelligence agencies to this day (although, perhaps not for much longer). The whole original concept of "Google" as a search engine (and tracking app) was originally a program of DARPA (same for Facebook - originally called "LifeLog"). Do you really think they cut all ties with the government when they went public? Neither Google or Facebook are what they appear to be.

"Privacy" in the sense that it pertains to selling your info to advertisers is just a sideshow; i.e. not the real problem.

Furthermore, ads in the console only annoy developers, the people who are rarely in charge of the money. You want developers to advocate for you, not against you.

Also, a centralized command in the package manager enables generating lists that their accounting department can use, it can even be part of their automated pipelines and taken into account when they're billing projects to their users.

For larger companies (the ones that are most likely to afford this), making it easy for a problem to go away often matters more than the price itself.
I've found sublime text to be the one exception to the slow text editor trend. It's native ui instead of based on electron, wish it was open source but I'll happily pay for good software.

Yes. The idea was that eslint let's you do whatever you want, but it's daunting to download eslint and then be asked to create useful rules from scratch, and eslint doesn't have amazing defaults, and it would be kind of cool if the JS world could be more like the Golang world with gofmt. These are valid observations!

So Feross tried to solve this by, yes, making an eslint config and a thin wrapper around it to run it, then giving it a really pretentious name in the hope it would become The Coding Style for JS. It didn't work. Airbnb has always had a significantly more popular eslint config package, and more recently the Prettier tool has solved the problem Standardjs was trying to solve much better (and become much more popular).

And the issue with trying to do what Standardjs is trying to do is that if you're not the most popular solution, you're part of the problem. :)
> ...it's a complex systems problem...

I very much agree with you.

Look, I don't consider hn readers to be some elite crowd of "great men" (no offense everybody). My point wasn't about "great men solving the problem" of inequity. Rather, this was an opportunity for me to speak to an audience whose privilege might often shield them from the downstream realities of the consequences of their actions, from the stakes. This particular issue is very important to me and hits very, very close to home.

> We dismantle it, or it destroys us.

"We" is who I was addressing (not so much "great men"). I'm aware that people reading this website have a certain kind of agency. The fact that this is a systemic issue means that it's on each of us to critically awaken to the world in ways that stretch us outside of our comfort zones, and to discover our agency in dismantling systems of oppression. It doesn't absolve people of privilege from doing the hard work, nor does it absolve oppressed people of theirs.
After seeing this comment and the reference to RIP Medical Debt, I got curious and was Googling around about this and came across this article:
https://blog.credit.com/2016/06/john-oliver-follow-up-146870...

Looks like there are some questions that still needs to be answered about whether this is necessary and if there are still consequences (like tax) for doing so.
Homo Economicus
This is not a dichotomy. We can have a tech sector that’s also compliant with laws like GDPR.
This fine is precisely in line with the intentions of the European Parliament when they signed the GDPR into law.

That is certainly a statement that no one could argue with. I think the argument is whether those intentions are actually good, logical, or workable.

For example, the fine structure is explicitly designed so that they could take all of the assets of a small business and wipe it off the face of the map, but only take 5% of annual revenue of a large business. Does that reflect an intention to consolidate market power in the hands of a very few companies? That would be a bad intention in IMO.

Nah Zuckerberg is a high functioning psychopath with no morals at all.
To shed some more light on the situation, the Uyghurs in the region had affirmative action programs and were exempt from the one child policy. They had more perks than regular Han Chinese.

However, with the spread of Salafism [1] in that region, China started to suffer multiple terrorist attacks a year. With the worst resulting in 35 deaths and hundreds injured [2].

As a result, to stop these terrorist attacks, China started these de-radicalization centres. Since then, there have been no attacks.

I’m just curious how you imagine this happening. @realdonaldtrump tweeting “I HEREBY ORDER...” is not a legally binding order. Launching nuclear missiles or whatever requires authentication codes and can only be ordered via a portable radio alongside a series of codebooks, all of which is carried by a military aide who is always near the President. Another country isn’t going to start a war based on some weird tweets. It’s an extremely unlikely and weird risk.
You are correct.

I will never understand why apps that profess allegiance to privacy upload entire contact lists.

Sure, users will complain it’s harder. They’ll always complain, but you’re protecting them and their contacts who have NOT provided consent.

This proves it’s not China since Tencent would just give their information to the government.

Fair, but it's E2E by default, and only requires a (burner) email address to sign up. If you're careful, there's not much to be gleaned from the remaining data.

Chinese companies would just give the data to the government. So there would be no need to spy on them.
It reduces the set of people who can access your account from "people with the password" to "people with the password and access to my phone."

It's less like a 2nd factor and more like a poor man's password-protected private key authentication, but it's way better than just a password.
Random or ambiguous icons without text is a huge UX failure. You can’t assume people will know what it means aside from very obvious ones like the floppy disk save icon.
I've been thinking about this for some time and have decided open source and funding for sustainability are fundamentally incompatible. Like another commenter said, few companies are donating of their own free will, but they are willing to buy a license. So the solution is to sell licenses.

But at that point, it is no longer open source. The world needs something in between totally free open source, and private closed source. I'm calling that in between model Super Source:
https://supso.org/

Think about it: what do the customers (primarily companies) like about open source? Primarily, that there's decent code already written that they can easily find and use. And that they can view the code, integrate it with their software, and perhaps make small modifications if needed, or offer drive-by pull requests. And sure, they like that it's free, but most companies would be willing to pay a small fee for licensing if they had to.

Projects that use Super Source have their code online, viewable, downloadable, and usually free for individuals. But for companies, they require a small licensing fee in order to use the software. So it's no longer technically open source, but still has a lot of the benefits.

This isn't just theoretical. Hundreds if not thousands of companies have signed up with Super Source.

Get in touch if you're interested in how it can work with your project.
Your inability to see what is offered is remarkable. You seem only capable of spreading petty & superficial greivances. Maybe you really totally missed the whole point of the thing by honest means but more likely it seems you're trying to be mean, & picking small points to gripe over. Open your mind, bro.
OK, well said. If I jumped the gun a little, it's due to my acute (& perhaps too raw) sense of how a narrow focus on individual responsibility frequently serves to protect the very systems that are being subject to criticism. I can see now that you intended something more nuanced.
> It overwhelmingly supports the premise

Well yeah, that's what it is supposed to do but it is hardly a study - you don't list any counter examples. Where is Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft? Those are simply the largest companies I can think of in tech and they all happen to be counter examples.
Full article not accessible because of soft paywall, but: I feel we're surprised by these revelations because our current timeline of civilization is constructed using surviving artifacts and fossils, both of which are exception, not norm. The vast majority of evidence of ancient civilizations probably got completely buried. It's not outside the realm of possibility that there were early civilizations over 100,000 years old, whose artifacts have now been wiped away by plate tectonics and the ocean.
That’s true. But I’ve found on a couple occasions that I couldn’t see a car in my mirror when driving at night because it was very dark colored and its headlights were hidden by my b-pillar.

This sort of thing wouldn’t happen much when headlights sprayed widely, but newer focused headlights are harder to see from the side.

Oh, and as for "logocentric" being a problem -

Imagine a world where the money to even have a seat at the table of politics is denied to you. No matter how much you rant and rave, no matter the depth of expertise brought to bear on the issue, Some freaking Moron with Money buys ads that get the general populace whipped up into taking that side against their own interests.

Now imagine there not being a party that even pretends to care about the issues that matter most. One pretends to care, generally, but the other seems happier to blame the victim.

And then, when you and everyone you know have screamed for change, the sympathetic-branded party acknowledges it! To offer token effort, "incrimental" change that just gets rolled back even harder in 4 years. The "liberals" forget it was even an issue at all unless we flood them with more cries for mercy.

Nobody batts an eye that life is harder for an increasingly invisible majority of citizens. The game marches on. And nothing of value has been been permanently gained in the last 30 years without a judge setting precedent... Precedent that a Trump-appointed judge will maneuver to deliberately overturn.

Bernie is the Sensible Centrist. He's last call for the Democrats to be relevant. Trump is Repugnicans' death throes. Anyone else? Will just be similarly irrelevant, if not outright malicious.

It’s probably the CIA.

Looking at the list of apps monitored, there were several Chinese apps on there.

Chinese companies already share all data with the government, so it doesn’t make sense China would need to waste resources and spy on them.
Posting here with your name, Benni Frank (if it's even close to your real name) probably permanently kills your privacy. You can't delete HN posts.

Your best bet would be to post on a public message board like reddit with a throwaway email address using a VPN through another country with a Tor browser from a public library.

But, again, if your name is anything close to Benni Frank, you're already identifiable.
You managed to calm me about the pricing, but I still don't see why this app would need to be hosted at all, considering I wouldn't use the bank import anyway.
10 years ago I traveled to china. 8 and 6 years ago I traveled to russia. In all cases, I used my standard credit card for most stuff. No issues at all, and I didn't tell the bank beforehand.

5 years ago - months after the last russia trip, I used the same card to buy a small service from a company in sweden. I'd bought multiple times before - same service, same company for many years - and this was... $9?

Transaction flagged - entire account frozen, without warning or notification (no call or email or text) - marked as 'fraudulent activity'. Without telling me what was going on, several auto payments were declined over the next few days, and it took hours to sort everything out.

Absolutely no rhyme nor reason I can see as to how 'fraud detection' is done.
> The difference is in people's expectations of mobile vs. desktop apps. You'd never install untrusted software on your desktop

I knew many Linux desktop users who had installed the Slack client back in the days we used Slack at work. Myself I have installed Skype. Not that I find Skype particularly good, but sometimes I need to communicate with people who have no clue about software freedom.

So, yes the number of "untrusted apps" is significantly lower on a (Linux) desktop, but "you'd never install" is an incorrect characterization.
Interesting. Would you say this is similar to a visual programming language like Max/MSP? I was always intimidated by the large screens of spaghetti (almost literally, because of patch cords).

How do you deal with large complex code? Lots of folding?
Nice work Mubashar!
Not the same crossing the Tasman sea. It's mixed in Australia. One can only have 5 pre-paid mobile numbers under 1 name (activation limit). However, you can still buy SIM packs from supermarkets or convenient stores, not sure if activation requires ID, it may depend on provider.

NZ is obviously loose due to large number of tourists, I reckon. So easy to get SIM cards, I've got 2 (spark and 2 degrees). US also requires ID to get SIM last time I was in bay area (2016).

> Indeed Uber did try to enter Indonesia they failed, they were out of most of South East and East Asia, because they don't have enough engineering talent to build a system

Because they don't understand the local market, period. Nothing more than that. It has zero relationship with Uber not able to hire engineering talent. They simply don't know the market.

If you put the smartest engineers in the room but they don't know the business domain, they will fail from Day-1. I think people put Engineers over everything else where in majority of the situations, business-domain-knowledge trumps engineering excellence.

That is one reason. The other reason is that Local will choose Local (China with tons of Chinese only service). Indonesian President, Mr. Joko Widodo, for sure will promote Gojek more than Uber.

> So why would you think those companies do not have a talent to build systems better suited to their own environment

You have to understand the context here.

Why do you think Gojek opened a huge "lab" in India?

Why do you think Grab opened a "lab" in Seattle and hired Steve Yegge?

You may not realized this but they are not the only South East Asia "Unicorn"/"Decacorn" who opened R&D Labs outside their "homebase".

I can't share much of the details why these companies (_and_ a few others) decided to do so but feel free to guess a bit here and there.
A well crafted message that inflames followers to riot...

I'm the kind of person who, for example, doubted the Covington Kids story from the beginning. By which I mean I'm not particularly alarmist about a putative vast right-wing catastrophe taking place. But any popular leader (and he's very popular among the people he's popular with) can start incidents like that by accident.
Here's a little regex that matches most of these. If anyone wants to improve on it, go for it. Way too lazy to do this by hand. Inconsistent use of semi-colons & "and" mean it'll probably be hard to actually make it perfect, but oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Thanks for compiling the list though, this is good stuff.

In Russia one cannot (in theory; actually it's possible sometimes). In Japan an ID is required as far as I know.
Ideally we do! In my experience there are quite a few services that will take the SSN without requesting photo id at all. For instance: cash app.
Correct me if I'm wrong...

The dilemna for the game producer is that if they let the games sell at the say India price but in all markets, then while brick-and-mortar stores in India may remain viable with such prices stores in other countries might not, AND the game producers want those shops to sell their games.

With iPad games for example there are no B&M stores but there is also the desire to take advantage of income variations by extracting some more margin from higher-earning customers. Regional differences between app markets seem to exist and to be meant to get this extra margin.
Even worse than that, removing your phone number will _silently_ disable all other 2FA methods, even if you already had SMS 2FA turned off. The only way to prevent your phone number from being used in account recovery is to disable 2FA altogether, because Twitter does not allow any 2FA without a phone number attached to the account. It's appalling.
