I've been working on a hosted version of such a service. This is just the kick I needed to finish it up.

Keep an eye out for 'Show HN: Expiry alerts' this weekend.

Yup, I thought it was worth pointing it out. re: http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html

Confusing world.

It's a font.

Context unclear. Did the OP solicit upvotes? If yes, then where?

I'm not the author but I imagine it would be hard for the author to decide which way to go.

He/she could choose a library/framework (say react or angular) but then you'll exclude people not using these libraries.

jQuery is the common denominator which would allow the broadest support.

EDIT: of course eliminating jQuery entirely would be even better

How quickly we forget that Slack was hacked not more than a year ago.

Sounds like a storm in a teacup if indeed the endpoint is served over TLS.

If there are other ways to confirm whether a user exists or not (signup email check for example) --

I would add that the 'bonus' of not informing of the correct error provides minimal security gain and hurts usability.

I focused on simplicity; yet something that's useful.

You can just go to http://mitm.it on the device. It's a 'magic domain' for the proxied host. See http://mitm.it/doc/certinstall/webapp.html

- Who are we

We're a funded bitcoin startup focused on broad digital currency adoption. Our primary product, Celery, is a easy and fast way for customer to acquire digital currency.

We launched a month ago and the response has been positive and overwhelming. We need to get build new features, release a mobile app, scale our infrastructure while still doing a good job at handling our current customer order flow and performing bug fixes.

Our stack: JavaScript, Python, Scala, C, AppEngine, EC2, S3, Backbone, Node, Compass, D3, Redis, SQS, ELB

What we're looking for

Broadly, we're looking for a developer passionate about coding. Knowledge of JavaScript helps a lot these days but other languages are fine too.

Currently though, we need someone to take charge of building our mobile app. Want to go native? use cordova, titanium, xamarin? -- you decide. Don't know what to use? That's cool too as long as you're willing to learn.

What we're offering

  - Competitive compensation
  - Small team (6 folks right now)
  - Ability to traverse up and down the tech stack
  - Sweet co-working space with free beer (WeWork)
  - Learn stuff about the hot digital currency and payments space
  - Buy new hardware for yourself

How to apply

Shoot us an email to careers@gocelery.com

I'm getting a 503 after it finishes loading the initial assets.

Great article. I had not heard of sysdig previously.

Based on the timestamps of the entered commands, I guess one of the takeaways for the attacker is to look into config management tools (eg ansible) :)

I asked for this before. Could you please add error bars to your plots?

Could you kindly add error bars to your test results?

Compared to Perl though, thankfully in Scala you do have a static type system to protect you from going too crazy.

The article is about an investigation into why outlook was taking a long time to open paypal emails.

It is not related to relying on paypal's email for payment processing.

I'm in; I have the book; Is the next checkpoint on Sep 27 (Chapter 1)?

With 8 chapters, this will stretch past Dec, is this correct?

Another direction you might want to explore is to learn VHDL or Verilog and implement the CPU on an FPGA board.

You can get a prototype board for around $100 and should be able to build something to cover most of, say, the MIPS instruction set.

This would be a more engineering oriented project; I would follow along an 'introduction to computer organization' style course from a university (just google and you can determine the required textbook, exercises etc).

It's exciting to write some C code, compile it to mips instruction set with gcc (I had to do some fudging here because my cpu didn't implement the entire instruction set) -- and then run it on the fpga and get the right numbers.

"Short call" might be a better phrasing than "writing unhedged Call Option".

When someone mentions "unhedged Call Option" (as in the title), it usually means long call, not short call.

OneNote + DropBox.

Thanks for the input.

It is their product and I'll incorporate this info into the pricing factors, thanks.

I have somewhat of a spec but it needs more review before it can be considered a serious set of requirements.

Time-estimate is fine. I'd rather do it for a fixed price -- the company did agree to have a term structure for compensation 15% at start, 15% at first milestone etc.
