subie··on Saturday – a fun way to capture and share video (iOS)
"Saturday is the best and most fun way to share video with your friends and the world around you!"

Hmmm it'll take a lot to convince people of that. Downloaded it and so far it's an alright copy of Snapchat with maybe one or two 'new' features.

subie··on Facebook Files Patent to Secretly Watch Users Through Webcam
I've been noticing this a lot with HN Facebook posts. You'll always find a FB defender in the top comments.

subie··on Fire Travis Kalanick
Clickbait title and forced to register before seeing any of the article.
subie··on PopSQL
Can only sign in with Google.

I get it for collaboration but this puts me off from using it. Give me another option like "Continue without Google" or "Sign up with email".

subie··on Pirate Bay Founder: ‘I Have Given Up’ (2015)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTOKXCEwo_8

Really great doc about the Pirate Bay team.

subie··on Ohio inmates used salvaged computers to commit credit card fraud from jail
To the top! Really interesting read. I'd probably do the same if I was locked up and given access to PC parts.
subie··on Tinder Online – new web version of the dating app
busted? Getting privacy warnings and 403 forbidden errors.
subie··on Show HN: Hypersurface – a modern polling app. (Vue and Socketio)
The animations make the site seem slow. I'm waiting 1 - 2 secs before interacting with each page. Also, scrolling the page is interrupted when you're hovering over the boxes.
subie··on Trolling the Entire Internet
Luckily the article isn't all about rotten.com. It just mentions it as a site that was around before social networks.
subie··on Chrome 57 – WebAssembly enabled
I don't see any mention of WebAssembly in this post besides one comment.
subie··on Caporal.js: Build Awesome CLI Apps with Node.js
Why did you decide to build this instead of using Commander or Vorpal?

subie··on The Applied Machine Learning group at Facebook
> more relevant ads

They seem to think we find this valuable.

subie··on Alt-E Fund
I'm incredibly skeptical of this. Graphics are ripped from Wikipedia, Basic SquareSpace site (Low effort), All accounts social created in the last few days.

Seems like an easy way to get some cash.

subie··on Telegram.org launches Telegraph
+1 for Pepe.
subie··on Show HN: A crowd sourced front-page of the world wide web.
Is it an entirely separate service? So far it doesn't appear to match HN's top news.
subie··on Spotify excessively writing to drive
I can attest to this.

Playing a song from a phone 'pushing' to a device on a slow connection always causes troubles for me.

subie··on Spotify excessively writing to drive
I had heard Spotify uses P2P quite a bit.

People on this forum are reporting that its eating up 50GB's on idle. Could it be possible they are using idle clients to help stream content to other users?

subie··on MacBook Pro
I'm still using a 2008 Macbook for most of my development. You'd be surprised how much OSX can do with little resources.

That being said I wouldn't buy a new laptop without a quad core.

subie··on Dyn Analysis Summary of Friday October 21 Attack
That's very cool. Wasn't aware of this technique.
subie··on Dyn Analysis Summary of Friday October 21 Attack
The attacker is still spending resources giving out instructions to the bot army.

Unless they are using a setup like @tomschlick mentioned or some P2P thing.

subie··on Dyn Analysis Summary of Friday October 21 Attack
Wouldn't it be costing the attacker some amount of money running the C&C server?

I'd think at some point if the attacker isn't getting the same results from the attack he'll wait for them to scale back then strike again.

Is my thinking right here?

subie··on Show HN: Story-based course on Black Lives Matter and media misinformation
The site does seem well done. Not polished as you said but some very good work. Good luck on this!
subie··on Node.js v7.0.0
I came across this just the other day..

subie··on Finally somebody works on mobile games online testing
Literally nothing here to see.
subie··on #WeAreTwitter
well this is certainly cute.
subie··on Google Pixel: the Android iPhone you've been waiting for
You should also give the Ars Techinca review a shot.

subie··on Google Pixel: the Android iPhone you've been waiting for
Wouldn't be surprised to see Apple unveil something similar to Daydream in the next year or two.
subie··on Facebook is talking to the White House about giving away ‘free’ Internet
Surprised? I'd guess it would be easier to pass it here.
subie··on Ayu: A theme for modern web development
Would love to use this on Atom.
subie··on DATADOG got hacked?
Did you make that key public at any time? Its fairly easy to leak keys on github that get picked up by automated bots. AWS is very good about covering charges from account 'hacks'

I wouldn't jump to conclusions on Datadog unless you can verify they only had access to the key.

(Just went through a key leak with AWS)
