At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the high roller database itself were stored on its own IoT device linked to some "high roller analysis as a service" platform.

This looks really nice. Having a bit of trouble getting the bridge running on node v6.11 on Windows 10.

The app mentions requiring the latest version of node but it's not clear whether you need the standard LTS (6.11) or the bleeding edge (8.5).

Thanks!

From an outsider/user perspective I feel like Google's internal philosophy is more algned with "keeping the algorithm happy" rather than deal with any single customer on an individual basis.

http://www.snopes.com/supreme-court-justices-stand/ a complete fabrication is 'mostly' false. "What's true" is not even relevant to the claim.

The bill[1] itself is plain language and easy to read.

The bill establishes a 'basic economic security working group' to investigate the broader issue of how to properly support sudden mass under-employment. The bill doesn't only mention the automation of jobs but also the widening equality gap and globalization of jobs. As per the bill, Hawaii has a heavy reliance on a service-based economy and is already significant displacement of local jobs.

I don't know how these bills work with schedules/deadlines (there doesn't seem to be any timeline specified in the bill) but I'm quite excited to see the first findings.

WSJ is discriminating against Google's user-base by blocking content that Google presumed the user would have access to. Yet WSJ thinks they're the ones being discriminated against. As WSJ is finding, Google will not even bother attempting to index, sort and recommend content that is unavailable to 99.999% of its user base. It's nice that they're supposedly better off, or at least the same off, without high Google results. Though I doubt this will stop them from endlessly attempting to game the system.

This is a cool idea but it still falls very short by not serving users outside of the US. To the point where the welcome page doesn't even acknowledge that there may be global interest: https://tv.youtube.com/welcome/ (enter your ZIP code, no country picker ... YouTube, you do realize you're on the internet, right?)

Does YouTube care about getting content to the world? Or just getting as many of their fingers in the pie as possible and abusing the current geo-restricted licensing model while they can?

Was wondering the same thing.. come for tech news, get instantly put off by vocal users forcing US politics in the conversations. I thought the no politic rule would help with that.

It is unfortunate that you are required to use the MS Store (sign-up required) to install Edge extensions. This is not a requirement of the base browser application itself. Chrome doesn't force you to sign-in to install extensions, why does Edge?

Not sure what to think about this in the context of HN. I've seen other such stances in other communities where it just ends up being a way to enforce/preserve a political bias. Where some stories get a pass for special reasons "oh, this is noteworthy, and from a credible source!", it's just laughable. I hope this doesn't happen here.

I appreciate the response. I had no idea things were this bad.

How does IP spoofing even work outside of those DNS reflection attacks mentioned on Krebs' blog? [1]

"many were garbage Web attack methods that require a legitimate connection between the attacking host and the target, including SYN, GET and POST floods."

I constantly see references relating to DDoS attacks about how IP spoofing is such an obvious trick to use but I've never seen any way to actually do it. Why wouldn't every device on the internet spoof their IP?

Indeed, it is the only post-build babel dependency required if you want things like you say: async/await. The rest are the babel dependencies are build tools.

Following on from this, what are the best/recommended epub readers for the desktop? (Windows in particular) I don't have an eBook reader and it's not a format I've dealt with before.

Kudos to the GitLab team. I've been running it for 12 months now on premises. The Omnibus package makes the instance unbelievable easy to install and upgrade, so there's no excuse not to run the latest versions. I've just been watching my instance get better and better over those 12 months, better UI, more features and better performance. I really love the software and can't talk it up enough.

If companies are going to keep trying to get out of paying bounties for insane vulnerabilities like this, white hat researchers will just move onto something else, leaving the bounties to be paid out by the black market. Bounties aside, contacting his employer is a disgusting move.

It looks like the PHP code is the front facing web code which then makes curl calls into the server.js code as you suspected. Presumably server.js is run using node which listens on port 8090 and exposes a few ipfs methods which just calls into the local ipfs binary on the system using exec calls.

IPFS is an interesting project and this is a pretty cool usage of it.

Is it generally a lawyer's job to advise a client when a case may attract negative publicity? Do they even care?

uTorrent has been crapware for a long time now and I'm not sure why people support it. Since people are plugging their favourite alternatives, my current favourite by a long shot is qBittorent[1] which is open source and natively supported on Windows/MacOS/Linux/FreeBSD.

This makes me so sad, it makes me wonder why the National Association of the Deaf doesn't try to encourage recruiting volunteers to the association to help with closed captioning. With this litigation I feel they're only alienating those that can actually help their cause.

Rather worrying when a popular software package site gets hacked like this, they could have easily kept the original site up but just replaced the binary download and file hash and nobody would really know.

Visual Studio for C#/.NET work (usually webapis)

Sublime Text for Javascript and other general text editing

Our whole team generally uses these editors, though they have to use VS, they are free to use anything other than Sublime for JS stuff - they still prefer it though

I still have Notepad++ hanging around from before I started using Sublime but will no longer feature on my next workstation builds.

I like this interface over the current one. The only issue I had with it is not having millisecond steps to create a decent loop. I also wasn't getting a thumbnail preview in the black box when seeking the video.

Nice useful tool.

Can anyone confirm whether this is a portal 'in the cloud' or if it's simply a web server hosted on the Squink itself?

Very cool project, I wonder if future iterations by competitors will drive the cost down.

Knowing nothing at all about investing, this looks pretty awesome. I wish they could provide a global service, being outside of the US.

What are the limitations of using a platform like this to buy shares and what would the limitations be on their side to be US only?

The eventual goal is not just as a meal replacement but a full diet replacement that eventually won't need to leverage crops, for areas with no arable land.

Most meal replacement shakes I've seen (not including those used in the medical industry) aren't suitable to replace your entire diet with and are generally very expensive per meal because of this. Most also warn against using the product to replace every meal with.

I think it's very good to have a mainstream product like this that attempts to cover 100% of the suggested daily intake, simply to bring into debate what the daily intake should really consist of? And if we can achieve it in countries that are too far from supply of actual crops.

Looking at the Cordova Platform Support[1], barely any features are supported on Firefox OS - does anyone know why?

Odd coincidence that I was just watching a video on TempleOS today. I had heard about Terry Davis and TempleOS previously and his God-worshipping operating system - but had never seen it in action.

This video gives you a glimpse into what he is like and what he has achieved on his quest to build the operating system for God: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EViG0Q4lTeA

Very, very bizarre yet mildly interesting. I was surprised to read he only ever runs it in VMWare - I thought perhaps he was just running it on a very specific set of hardware.

FTA: "I still haven’t forgiven Microsoft for their countless misdeeds so Asp/C#/F# are all right out. That may be shooting myself in the foot here (cut off my nose to spite my face), but contributing to this decision is that I work exclusively with linux (both on desktops, laptops and servers) so the MS ecosystem has become totally unfamiliar to me and I don’t like running windows on servers (though, of course there are some workarounds possible here and Mono is quite good). So, the L in my LAMP is firmly established. And besides, I don’t have a lawyer on the payroll to make sure that my licenses are all read, ok’d and acceptable."

I really think the author is missing out here - for the sake of just sticking with what they know and not wanting to do any actual research, it's impossible to come up with an actual objective choice. So misinformed, I get that .NET/C# development is not everybody's cup of tea but I think it's crazy to title an article "Choosing a Web Framework/Language Combo for the Next Decade" without even evaluating an extremely popular option due to simple disinterest. The lawyer comment is just irrational fear (and I get is probably meant to be a bit of a gibe towards Microsoft's licensing schemes), unless you're writing something completely from scratch, you need to be aware of the licenses of ANY library/framework you depend on, even if they're free.
