hellbanner··on I have forgotten how to read
Coming to HN less and less with shitty clickbait like this on front page.

hellbanner··on How a malicious seed generation website stole $4M
"Anyone who has ever built software knows that users rarely read FAQs (maybe 1-5%). Anyone who's ever made ANY product/service/contract knows most users don't read the fine print."

Expecting tools to work without reading the manual reminds me of

"Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" In one case a member of the Upper, and in the other a member of the Lower, House put this question. I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question."

If the user WON'T read the FAQ, then the FAQ shouldn't exist. So how to educate an illiterate user?

hellbanner··on Ransomware as a Service
Yes. Automated trading is going to bring about many terrifying things, unfortunately.
hellbanner··on Tokyo-based cryptocurrency exchange hacked, losing $530M: NHK
https://docs.gdax.com/#get-historic-rates

There are more APIs there, publically accessible, small rate limit, have fun.

GDAX == Coinbase API. Trading on Coinbase makes, AFAIK, a market buy/sell through GDAX.

hellbanner··on Hawaii "button pusher" refusing to cooperate with FCC, internal investigators
4 digit code on 144mhz -- just sending a code alone triggers alert? Wouldn't it need a payload to describe the msg?

It's back up. Was down for about 2 minutes.

hellbanner··on Yuzu – Nintendo Switch Emulator
Yes, but in 5, 10 years they will be just like the games discussed in the presentation.
hellbanner··on Show HN: Genact – A nonsense activity generator
Hah. You could turn it into a crypto-miner. Prototype "Digital Church", the more you stay, the higher numbers you pray: https://futuredistributions.github.io/digital-church/

Not so different from http://mamota.net/exponent/ or Cookie Clicker, is it?

Yours is closer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progress_Quest .

hellbanner··on Start Your Own ISP
Very cool. How much did you sell for?
hellbanner··on The Effects of Computer Use on Eye Health and Vision (1997) [pdf]
I'm not an optics expert. I have used Flux and haven't used Redshift.

I much prefer the Rose screen to Flux. Flux changes the colors but, sorry I lack the English to articulate this properly, the screen makes all light less "harsh". This is most visible when looking at a white background. Even with Flux on the rose tinted is much "softer" and easier to look at than the same screen without.

FWIW, a neurologist recommended the screen to counteract excessive optical stimulation from computer use.

I've stopped using Flux in favor of this screen, even at night.

hellbanner··on Update on Meltdown and Spectre
Not sure why you're being downvoted. Running any kind of financial service I would expect a corp to run their own hardware.
