This guy wasn't really a hacker, just someone who knew a little bit about tech and figured out a flawed system. I think that sums him up as a scammer instead of a hacker.

The story didn't mention how they were able to get his IP address in the first place. That level of detail is important for this community!

Sounds like a great business opportunity to me. I’m sure someone like pornhub or xvideos would love to charge 9.99 a month to store and allow private video/file sharing.

When i visited there last year, and talked to residents, it appears there is a lot of corruption that goes on, which seems to do more harm than good to their economy.

It's hard for me to read articles like this. If you don't like working at a high paying tech job, please quit and dig trenches, drag brush, or pick lettuce for minimum wage and no benefits. Then come tell me how much it sucks to write fragments of code while sitting in your air conditioned office.

Wow I had the same problem with the exact same feeder. This solution is awesome! I just ended up tying the unit to a table and called it a day. I also adjusted the food output, knowing he was going to get extra food from reaching up inside the feeder.

seems like another way for firefox to push their integration with yahoo search.

laff, forbes won't let me use their site with an ad blocker.

And I'm sure they 78mil they hand on hand is going to "disappear" to pay for "shutting down" their offices.

I think all this really does is remind everyone that they should review their current backup strategies

The bottom line is that 2 people should educate themselves on the legalities of marriage before they enter into the agreement. Far too often people just jump into legal contracts without understanding what it means to them in the long term. The legal terms of marriage without a contract differ from state to stage and if the wife wants to punish you could always just move into a different state, reside there for the minimum time and then divorce you there to get the rules in her favor. Always try to see it from the good and evil side. The point is that you would not purchase a home or a car without a contract or knowing what the implied contract is before hand. I've personally been burned pretty badly in a past divorce solely because I didn't find out the laws before hand and was tricked into something that I was not educated on.

Whats up with the negative karma here? People don't like the truth? Every day people get business off the ground in the face of serious negative criticism. People telling them they can't do something. Telling them that it isn't going to work. There is no way it would scale etc. Someone who decides that something isn't possible is just one less competitor for me!

I was going to ask this very question. Seems like the appropriate way would be to say 250 million. I mean you wouldn't say I got a quarter hundred dollars or quarter thousand...

With that kind of attitude, you would obviously not be able to scale anything that would meet even the most minimal resistance.

It's an add-on service for prime members not a trial. I'm not sure if there is an option for non-prime members.

Edit: looks like it is 11.99 for non-prime members. Also the unlimited everything option looks pretty cool. Really trumps dropbox and google drive.

It seems like one of those out of sight out of mind kind of things that happens to a lot of students. You don't really sit down and calculate just how much money it will cost monthly to pay for your shooling. The 144k comes out to over 650 a month for 30 years depending on interest rates. That's the payment on a nice car, for the majority of your lifetime!

There are some holes in this story, but I still think the general point is there. For one, if you want to get a law or medical degree, you really need to be driven! otherwise don't do it!! Debt it terrible and can really ruin your life.

I don't get the point of this. Do people not want to learn ES so bad that they will use something like this without understanding how to build an ES query object? All this plugin does is convert sql to an ES query...

paypal is by far the worst payment processing system that I have ever used...

This does not cover the only scenario which I was hoping it would. I accidentally pushed my api key/password to github and I want to "undo" that push and completely remove the history locally and on an origin? This is so obscure across many different outlets. And go ahead, flame me for pushing my password/api key to github, but all of you know you have done this at least once in your life!

its interesting that when people talk about the newest feature or framework in javascript, they tend to forget about javascript's core functionality. It's always necessary to look at things like promises with javascript's core functionality in mind. Take #3 for example, which is really just a function of the core way javascript executes, taking promises aside!

You would not do something like this would you in a normal day at the office? function myFunction(doSomething()){

};

so why would you do this.

Promise.then(doSomething());

doSomething() gets immediately invoked when the code is evaluated. It has nothing to do with Promises.

Don't forget the fundamentals!

I've never been much of a reader for the entirety of my life. I loved working math and logic problems even at a young age. tearing apart computers, working on cars with my dad, and learning new mechanical skills, never from a book. My parents really never pushed me to read very much. Now in my thirties I find myself only reading tech related news, source code and skimming documentation.

The site is only an example. You would actually order your own unique card to carry with you. No one would be able to guess your password since your spacebar code is unique to your card.

for the love of God finally!

The concept was tested by Tim ferris in the book 4 hour body. He noted that its a hard thing to keep up with because you have to keep exactly on schedule or you will mess everything up and then you just end up sleeping for a day.

Interesting find

This is the reason why I buy the "Dumb" TV version, and its cheaper too. No reason my tv needs to be hooked up to the internet, have apps, or a camera/microphone! I just need it to display images, I don't even need it to output any sound! If I could pay less for no speakers that would be awesome!

We live in a legal society that allows anyone to chop off their own hand. I see it as both good and bad in a lot of ways.

I would be nice to see businesses focus on trying to help people to a solution rather than feeding their addiction. This business helping them buy material things is just as bad as the corner street drug dealer. They are just dealing legal items instead of illegal ones.

If a business model were to come along that would help teach them how to attain what they want through financially responsible means instead of loan sharking, I believe it would be incredible for the impoverished society.

I have been in this sort of situation and I know the mindset. You can not even understand how to set goals, to figure out how to better your future! You have no idea what to do, and these business prey on that mindset.

However, if you had a business that taught how to save for items you need and want, how to set goals and put away money, it would greatly change these peoples lives!

RC Planes are far cheaper than drones and can fly FPV and have been around much longer than drones. They can also carry very large payloads as well. These whole what-if scenarios are good to hypothesize, but assassinations happen if they want to happen. They are not going to happen more because of drones.
