I opened the demo and said out loud "this is nuts!". Amazing job team.

huh…

azar1on AltStore: An alternative app store for non-jailbroken iOS devices

It's been around since September 2019.

azar1on Removing Holocaust Denial Content

Whole lot of people defending literal Nazis in here.

azar1on Library Music

It's shutting down later this year: https://www.residentadvisor.net/news/43548

Another tradition of divination in Iran is called fal-gush. You hide behind a fence and listen to the conversations of people passing by and use it to answer your questions.

azar1on πfs – A data-free filesystem

erm... that's Jorge Luis Borges

azar1on Ask HN: What is your commute like?

Seattle: Live 2 miles from work. Walk most days (45 minutes), which is longer than taking the bus (20 minutes). Usually take the bus if I'm tired or not trying to stand around in the rain.

azar1on f.lux for iOS is no longer available

I think you're correct. They were distributing an iOS app outside of the approved channels, which is explicitly called out near the very top of the Apple Developer License Program agreement:

Applications developed under this Agreement for iOS Products, Apple Watch, or Apple TV can be distributed in four ways: (1) through the App Store, if selected by Apple, (2) through the B2B Program area of the App Store, if selected by Apple, (3) on a limited basis for use on Registered Devices (as defined below), and (4) for beta testing through TestFlight.

azar1on Show HN: A Firefox extension to break the habit of typing distracting websites

I feel like it would work better if it took you to something like a shock website ;)

azar1on Facebook '2G Tuesdays' to better understand markets like India

Exactly. This article really changed the way I thought about optimizing for slow network speeds: http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/why-availability/

azar1on Rand Paul Pledges to Immediately End NSA Mass Surveillance If Elected President

"third-trimester abortions" - Excellent straw man. How about his proposed personhood legislation? https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/113/s583?utm_campaign...

azar1on Millennial women have seriously narrowed the wage gap with men

You can tell the same thing to the fathers, then.

azar1on [dead]

Youtube, too...

azar1on Stay-at-home dad

The patriarchy affects all of us negatively. The sexism here is in favor of keeping women in the home and the men anywhere else (preferably in positions of power). Any person not falling into their respective gender role prescribed by these rules will be punished.

azar1on We were wrong

I see no denial of the author's freedom of speech here. The author is free to host and fund their misogynist drivel on their own server, and Kickstarter doesn't seem to be denying that. Kickstarter has a business to run, and has some semblance of ethics, so it has chosen to refuse to offer its service to this content.

azar1on The World's First Laptop for Dogs

This seems to be an April fools joke from 2009: http://www.slashgear.com/toshiba-petbook-k9-provides-pups-wi...

azar1on What's next Google? Dropping SMTP support?

I'd love to read how you set that up. Any links you can point me to?

azar1on The New Google Maps

Or even share on Google+

… on second thought, I'm sure even Google knows they'd be preaching to the choir there.

azar1on Turing Drawings

Auto-IDM

azar1on Flat UI colors

It doesn't work for me on Safari Version 6.0.4 (8536.29.13) with no Flash installed on OS X Mountain Lion.

Javascript Console says: TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object (evaluating 'this.htmlBridge.style')

I'm guessing this is because I don't have flash installed.

azar1on ping `curl whatismyip.akamai.com`

I like `curl icanhazip.com` because it's cuter.

azar1on BitTorrent’s Secure Dropbox Alternative Goes Public

Would love it if source was released (or if somebody could point it out to me).

It's interesting that this joke comes the same day that The Verge declares "smell might be the next big thing in advertising" [1].

azar1on Introducing A New Article Design

Did it make anybody feel weird when the browser started scrolling? Almost made me nauseated.

azar1on Sony announces PS4 with 8-core x86 processor, 8GB GDDR5 memory and DualShock 4

Er… have you used a Xbox 360 lately? Most of the dashboard is ads: http://images.eurogamer.net/2012/articles//a/1/5/2/9/2/2/6/A...

azar1on Via introduces APC Paper: A $99 Android PC

Case is "Recycled pressed cardboard with high-grade aluminum", so I'm guessing the paper is just on the outside of the real case.

azar1on The Next SoundCloud Becomes SoundCloud

Another cool thing about ▶ and browser tabs happens when you open up Soundcloud in a tab and start playing, then open up another Soundcloud tab and hit play. The other tab stops!

azar1on Show HN: Pipe, library to run ifttt-like alerts locally

Damn, I was talking to a friend about writing something like this just yesterday!

Good job!
