This is irrelevant. Even in a fully socialized healthcare system we would still want orgs and companies and the government looking at patient data to figure out better therapies. Just because the current data comes with price tags doesn&#x2

I think one nuanced take on this is that oil can be burned in many different ways, some more harmful than others. For example, smoke stacks without filters are obviously more harmful than those with them. The companies that operate power pl

Yeah we do. HN made a lot of intentional choices to avoid becoming a generic social media clone. There's a reason why nobody is replying with reaction GIFs in the comments or linking to rickrolls. HN is a unique piece of software that

It can probably create more than cartoons, and even with cartoons there are plenty of very offensive and dangerous terms you could use to create dangerous and offensive cartoons. I mean, I would love to be able to type in anything I want in

If the lack of abstraction is a requirement, why use a language like Go at all? Shouldn't you be using C for these sort of projects?

What the author fails to account for is that even if Stripe is a mouse, the majority of its customers are insects. Small businesses with <$10000/mo revenue are not going to care about Stripe's other services because the small b

This is fine for toy projects but not for commercial applications. Consuming private APIs without permission and making money from them leads to lawsuits.

I would say it is fair for AWS to have a complicated signing method, because you really do not want your AWS account falling into the wrong hands or being intercepted through some MITM attack. With an AWS account an attacker can bankrupt

Of course, if you're the one setting up the network it's always secure, it's only if someone else does it that you are vulnerable.

This looks like a .xcodeproj file. This isn't source code, it's auto generated metadata for the Xcode IDE. You have to check it into source control because Xcode is dumb and sometimes breaks your project if it can't find its

Oh damn, you might be right and I might be getting this mixed up with some press coverage on Hey. I vaguely remember them mentioning this rule as a reason why their app got taken down; because their site made clear that the IAP option would

Graphics are nuts. I did a lot of research months ago into how to build my own CPU, RAM, OS etc. from the ground up. I was able to figure out how a bunch of things worked that I didn't know before, and overall feel pretty confident i

My understanding is that Square is solely a payment collector, you can't send funds out of Square to other accounts like you can with Stripe. If Twitter had went with Square then I think every Spaces creator would have to set up their

This is my thought as well, Stripe is so creators can withdraw their earnings once Twitter has collected them through IAP. You can't use a Stripe checkout in app unless you sell physical products.

And they do! Phone contracts, electric bills, shipping fees. Everyone gets their cut when they deliver a service to the user. After I get Twitter from the App Store, the service is delivered. The App Store isn't doing anything other

Why not allow other competitors to take over these software responsibilities if they want to? Why can't Google Play be on iOS too? Do you think Google wouldn't be able to effectively curate, distribute, and secure its own app stor

Who is forcing you to leave the walled garden? All we are asking for is an option to install unapproved apps. You don't have to install them if you don't want to.

Isn't that just called getting pulled over?

Relying on users to install security and safety updates is 0% effective.

Obviously paying for textbooks is not the breaking point, but it's a similar mentality (that society should not be responsible for its kids) that leads kids to crime when they have no marketable skills that can be used to get a job.

I don't know a single person who enjoys going to a gas station. Paying $40 a week just to hear some loud noise is an incredibly lame proposition, and only makes sense if you drive your truck for fun instead of utility. Most people buy

I'm not following - how would a smaller (and presumably lighter weight) truck have worse fuel economy than the giants we see today?

Home repair and gardening / recreational farming come to mind as hobbies where a flat bed would be useful. BMX or dirt biking too.

I had this thought too. A Kindle is a fine investment, especially because you're just going to use it to read books anyways (not many first person shooters to play on an e-ink screen).
