API only?

After detecting a botnet attack originating from Cloudflare IPs, we logged in to Cloudflare. Shortly after, we received the message: "Sorry, you have been blocked. You are unable to access www.cloudflare.com." We hypothesize that a larger scale attack is underway.

Did you use the API for this, or did you copy and paste into the GUI?

Congrats on the launch! I'm testing it now and are excited about it. I've tried few similar solutions in the past few days but they were buggy and not as feature rich as your solution. I do have a few questions:

- What's the differences between Assistant and Chat mode?

- If I have GPT4 access is there anyway I can insert my API key and use it with your app? I assume you're using 3.5 turbo.

- What toolchain are you using for splitting / chunking?

What prompts are they finding useful for creating SQL statements?

I save links as PDFs using DevonThink. I've yet to find a compelling reason to replace it.

I save the HN page as a PDF and send to DevonThink via the DevonThink browser extension. This way I have all the comments indexed and searchable via Finder or DevonThink. I tried webarchive but found PDF to be more efficient.

This is precisely the reason I am no longer a subscriber.

Shopify isn't a homogeneous marketplace that is comparable to Amazon.com. It's a SaaS ecommerce platform. I've seen these comparisons made lately and I don't understand it. What am I missing?

Being born in the 1980s I was curious to see what the American Black population's poverty rate was in the 1980s. To my surprise it was as high as 35% [1].

That's a pretty cushy salary - isn't? Anyone know how much a new Disney board member gets paid?

Reminds me of LiveZilla's visitor monitoring.

It's a pity I had to give up LiveZilla because of its terrible UX.

Same here. That's the only jolting aspect for us.

I suspect we'll have to use to-dos or calendar events. But calendar events don't seem to appear on the overview page and can't be checked off as completed either.

Anyway, clearly I need to keep investigating.

WASHINGTON —The following is a statement by Senator Chris Dodd, Chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association of America, Inc. (MPAA) on the so-called “Blackout Day” protesting anti-piracy legislation:

“Only days after the White House and chief sponsors of the legislation responded to the major concern expressed by opponents and then called for all parties to work cooperatively together, some technology business interests are resorting to stunts that punish their users or turn them into their corporate pawns, rather than coming to the table to find solutions to a problem that all now seem to agree is very real and damaging.

It is an irresponsible response and a disservice to people who rely on them for information and use their services. It is also an abuse of power given the freedoms these companies enjoy in the marketplace today. It’s a dangerous and troubling development when the platforms that serve as gateways to information intentionally skew the facts to incite their users in order to further their corporate interests.

A so-called “blackout” is yet another gimmick, albeit a dangerous one, designed to punish elected and administration officials who are working diligently to protect American jobs from foreign criminals. It is our hope that the White House and the Congress will call on those who intend to stage this “blackout” to stop the hyperbole and PR stunts and engage in meaningful efforts to combat piracy.”

So what happens next?

Realistically I don't think there's any legal action they can take - can they?

Also, how does Google "make this right" with them?

:-) Thanks!

Corrected.

121,000 feet = 36.88 km

From Wikipedia: The Kármán line lies at an altitude of 100 kilometres (62 mi) above the Earth's sea level, and is commonly used to define the boundary between the Earth's atmosphere and outer space.

That's not space. Though it's an amazing feat nonetheless.

Agreed. Sometimes it's just too obvious.

Public library + mifi

So was it a good idea for Yelp to walk away from Google's 700 million dollar offer?

Evidence, please.

How does it stack up to Cassini or New Horizons?

Interestingly enough, I notice it on http://www.wunderground.com/ homepage using Chrome.

Not exactly sure how they're using it?

So certain WordPress plugin trunks ( AddThis, WPtouch, or W3 Total Cache) were compromised? That blog posts seems very vague on the details.

Just enough FUD to scare both the novice and the advanced users.

Any core committers care to comment here?

scratches head

This is news to me. Perhaps the author of the post has gotten some basic facts wrong?

Google is the "cloud".

Apple gives the "cloud" branding and a logo.

Could this offer some protection from a gamma ray burst?

Baffles me too. A self-hosted WordPress install is pure vanilla and offers plenty of tasty toppings a hacker can integrate via core APIs and theme hooks.

This is nice linkbait. I will add to my swipefile.

6 patents pending? Is this all a big IP bet for them & their investors? That could really set back under funded entrepreneurs working on similar solutions.

Over 40 Million and you get to buy a vowel. Less than 40 million? No vowel for you.
