I wonder what would happen if someone discovered an efficient algorithm for finding or predicting prime numbers or their factors. It would put the fundamentals of internet security at risk and likely much more. Has anyone ever considered a plan B for such a scenario?

When you are working on a large monolith, how exactly do you managed pull request?

Are they split into git-sub modules/ frameworks? Curious to know the development code review flow.

When I first created this app "7Web"(https://7web.co) couple of years back many suggested why don't I just use RSS feeds.

Personally I'm not a big fan of RSS feeds mainly because I miss the familiarity and UX of the original website where I spend half the time browsing through Desktop and rest on mobile/iPad.

I thought its just me but many of my users still use this app everyday.

Hi HN,

I have a habit of browsing a fixed set of news websites every day (including Recode, Techcrunch, TechInAsia, CNN, HN and stuff ) on both my mac and iPhone. But I found wasting a lot of time trying to open a new website in iOS Safari (open new tab flow) and the UX is very cumbersome and there is no way in Safari iOS to open all your sites in a single tap ( you can do that in desktop only).

Solution 1: So I tried to use FlipBoard and subscribe to all my Sites. this didn’t help me as the FlipBoard broke the UX of the original site and the order of the article was mixed up.

Solution 2: RSS feeds Not sure why but I just didnt like the whole RSS thing

So finally I decided to make an app to solve this problem.

P.s: Sorry for the repost. I didnt know about Show HN so my thread was lost. looking for some feedback.

One of the ios App I built needed contacts permission, but it's only within the app and never sent to my server. When I submitted it for review to Apple, they didn't approve the app asking the reason why I was accessing the contacts and if sending them to the server. Only if they are happy with the answer they will approve your app.

So in a way, iOS apps are much secure than Android.
