Executive Summary

Thanks for pointing this out, the content you referenced does go on to mention that we are flexible which is a necessity given how volatile engineering wages in Australia have been over the last 24 months.

Dabble | https://www.dabble.com.au/ | Remote / Hybrid (Australia) | Full-Time | Senior & Staff Software Engineers

Dabble is a social sports betting startup trading in Australia under a government issued wagering license. Since our launch in July, we have grown at a rate that has exceeded even our own optimistic projections, handling well over a million bets last month.

As a result of our growth, we are looking for multiple typescript engineers to join our small team. We strongly believe in hiring the best talent available and then getting out of their way so they can do their best work. If you are the person most of your team DMs with typescript/engineering questions, you are probably the kind of person we like hiring! Our core tech is typescript, react native, express, postgres, kafka & k8s on AWS. We are also hiring for a Lead Data Engineer (Airflow/DBT).

Applicants from all timezones are welcome to apply. Staff located in Australia are able to work fully remote or hybrid from one of our offices (Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Albury and Darwin).

For more info, please shoot a quick introduction to techjobs/at/dabble.com.au

Fun to think that games spun out fickr and slack. I wish we saw more kids looking up to Fake and Butterfield rather than say, Musk.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a platform to facilitate Tip #4: Idling in a Videoconference Room? Zoom is the obvious choice, but wonder if anyone has built something better for this use case?

Most of them would be on the free tier

Their DDOS mitigation is what sold us.

Have you called the enterprise support number? What was their response?

We are in the same boat, but guess where I have the phone number for enterprise support? Webmail on our domain. Lesson learned.

The other thing this article really fails to highlight is the DDOS mitigation service Cloudflare provides.

Cloudflare are disrupting a very established and lucrative industry. Companies like Prolexic charge a lot more for a lot less. Not to mention the whole "Are you currently under attack?" bullshit they pull where they charge you significantly more if you are currently a DDOS victim.

I wonder if everyone is missing a piece of the Cloudflare pricing puzzle.

What if they have negotiated contracts with wholesale data providers where they get a revenue share for any traffic they bring into the network? This would mean that the more sites they have hosted, the more money they bring in for their carrier (which they bill the downstream for) and in turn, the more they make.

I dont not work for Cloudflare and have never worked in the carrier/hosting biz, so this is just a theory. I am however, a very happy enterprise customer.

The TVC in question for those who have not seen it:

Does it matter? Hasbro didn't think so when Scrabulous became one of the top games on Facebook.

Nintendo protects the Pokemon brand very aggressively.

Sorry to rain on the parade, but isn't this simply a clone of Pokemon?

You start by selecting one of three monsters (they even resemble the starting three from the orignal game). The battle screen and fight dynamic looks almost identical.

Am I missing something?

True, but when used at the same time they are a nightmare. Methylphenidate has a pretty severe crash (at higher dosages) and caffeine makes it much much worse.

While I don't know all the details, it looks as if Groupon has gone about this the wrong way.

auDA have a very clear stance against this kind of squatting (from http://www.auda.org.au/policies/auda-2010-05/);

a. Applicable Disputes. You are required to submit to a mandatory administrative proceeding in the event that a third party (a "complainant") asserts to the applicable Provider, in compliance with the Rules of Procedure that:

(i) your domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a name [Note 1], trademark or service mark in which the complainant has rights; and

(ii) you have no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name [Note 2]; and

(iii) your domain name has been registered or subsequently used in bad faith.

I also forgot to mention in my earlier reply the one thing you should DEFIANTLY not do: pay an attacker to stop.

I often hear of attacks that are accompanied by an email demanding thousands of dollars via Western Union.

Attackers like this pray on small, non-technical businesses (eg blogs, small retailers) who often feel they have no option but to pay the ransom.

Guess what happens when you pay for the attack to stop? The attack stops, only to start again in 8 weeks time with a new, higher ransom email.

Most clients participating in DDoS attacks are plain dumb.

They will continually perform a GET request on a single page and not parse the response. This means they wont respond to javascript, images, cookies or redirects correctly.

You can devise a test that identifies attacking clients and then blacklist the IP addresses for a while.

While I'm sure this strategy isn't perfect, it has been sufficient for the two attacks I have been subjected to.

Edit: vladd's reply articulates this idea better than I was able to :)

As far as I know, there really isn't much out there when it comes to open-source. There is OASIS (http://oasis.sourceforge.net/), but I don't think it is in active development.

Personally, I'll be moving a couple of openx installs to Google DFP (http://www.google.com/dfp/info/sb/index.html) in the next few days. I've heard some good things about AdButler (http://www.adbutler.com/) but I have yet to use it myself.

Including this post!

Awesome. Censorship built right into BIND. Why didn't Senator Conroy think of this?

It seems odd that broadcasters wouldn't do this given its such an easy EQ hack.

Sun kind of did this in 1999 with the Sun Ray (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Ray)

This enables another notable feature of the Sun Ray, portable sessions: a user can go from one Sun Ray to another and continue their work without closing any programs. With a smartcard, all the user has to do is slip in the card, enter their password when prompted, and they will be presented with their session.

Anyone know the context of this?

Sorry to say you have a lot of bugs going on. My location was automatically set to Toronto (I'm in Australia) and when I go to edit the first link I added it tells me I have 371 links posted.

It's also not clear how I go about deleting links.

EDIT: Maybe I'm missing something, but your scraping of media needs a bit of work. I suggest starting with http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Facebook_Share...

While I don't agree with the tactic, it is actually a very clever way of reducing bandwidth usage by Telstra. Most youtube videos stream fine at 1Mb/s. I'd guess that a lot of youtube clips are closed before they are over and any buffered data is "wasted".

Here comes all the "A <insert language> Forum in x bytes of code" posts.
