I can't recommend JLCPCB enough - tiny PCBs, good prices, quick turnaround.

I couldn't disagree more. Connect is written in Flash and has serious stability issues. For better or for worse Zoom is stable and intuitive for adult learning.

I just ordered a bunch of these, yesterday, from Farnell.

I've received fake electronics from 3rd party Amazon sellers and eBay.

For testing a PoC I will buy knowing there is a risk it's likely fake - but once I've validated a design I'll go to Farnell.

Ooof never before have I instantly lost 3 hours from one HN link. Awesome blast from the past!

Not that the authors would claim any differently, but I am going to go out on a limb and state that RDBMS Horror Stories are more frequent, and with higher overall impact.

Purely from a SQLi point of view we have: https://codecurmudgeon.com/wp/sql-injection-hall-of-shame/

"I used a series of articles from various online media. I don't have copyrights to provide them with this project, so you will have to use your own source."

and

"Create the text folder and fill it in with *.txt files which you'd like to use as the test data source. "

It would be interesting to see what a layout full of source code/terminal history would generate - although you'd have to take into consideration all variety of autocomplete functionality (tab key usage) in text editors to get accurate input data, not to mention window switching shortcuts etc.

TL;DR - it was the Russians (GRU)

You are confusing E2EE encryption with encryption in transit/rest in the commerce example. The majority of transactions today are encrypted in transit and (you would hope) encrypted at rest so that the bank and selected parties can access the data (including the customer). There is no bank that would encrypt financial data using E2EE so that only the customer and merchant could access it, which is the analogy here on E2EE with messaging.

Sure, now we are looking at tokenization which reduces the risk merchants store your details insecurely, but commerce will always require a bank to store your information and share it with legislators for anti money laundering purposes etc.

No, 51% refers to the active mining pool (who package and validate transactions) vs 51% of the currency itself.

To your point of "out of sight out of mind" I wonder how much this impacts recycling programs. E.g. I'll just throw everyone in the trash because it's gone vs I'll recycle plastics etc separately which reduces "smelly" garbage.

Hats off to attempting to explain a deeply technical topic to a variety of audiences, acknowledging different learner needs. A lot of posters here would probably benefit from taking a humanistic approach to explaining what they do to non-hacker news readers!

There is a decent amount of python code in there if you look around :)

The password is legit, but watch out for the double quotation marks. It should read CrDj"(;Va.*NdlnzB9M?@K2)#>deB7mN

How useful to now have a list of most popular OS/Browser versions to maximize (spear)phishing attacks.

> from House (PC / Windows 10 / Edge 14) > from Senate(PC / Windows 7 / Chrome 56)

Will be fun to do some analysis after a while and see if there are any obvious trends (House vs Senate, where do outdated browser/OS combos visit the most).

Having used pfsense for a good few years, we recently switched to Meraki.

Global infrastructure and Meraki APs just made it easier to go with their ecosystem, despite the licensing costs.

Terrific visual explanation. Would love to see this extended to explain permissions and smart contract aspects of hyperledger/ethereum.

Forcing a user to sign up before they've seen the content is a big miss. Strongly suggest you rearchitect this and offer sign up once users want to save progress/sign up for notifications.

Fantastic initiative. My wife works in knitwear and I've been cooking up a disruptor for what is frankly a lagging industry. Current best-in-class software can be seen at e.g. http://www.stoll.com/stoll_software_solutions_en_4/pattern_s...

We use Rackspace, AWS, Pair networks and a local VPS provider.

Anecdotally, I would say Rackspace has the most intuitive interface and good telephone support. They've just released new performance instances which are cheaper than AWS: $0.08/hr for 2 vCPUs, 2GB RAM and plenty of SSD vs $0.12/hr for AWS 2 vCPU m1.medium.

Our local VPS has fantastic customer service and we know each other by name.

Amazon has the real truly global infrastructure (Rackspace UK is a separate entity to US, ASIA) and Route 53 Anycast is outstanding.

We'll be trialling out Google Compute Engine to see how it fares.

For now I see Amazon for global DNS infrastructure, but I can't see Rackspace going anywhere.

Seems like Gartner have previous with Rackspace: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/11/20/gartner_openstack_cr...

Good luck getting all the part-timers through DV!

I think it raises an interesting point: how many interesting links get overlooked because of poor titles? And how many titles are more interesting than the links?

Coming from a technical/academic background, good copy is not something that is emphasised - are we missing a trick?

Non-technical companies which do this tend not to apologise - it draws attention to the mistake which most of their (non-technical) customers never noticed in the first place.

I guess github doesn't qualify for the non-technical crowd :)

Just saw this posted here yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5395009

Interestingly, I fell for the sensationalist headline of the Register instead of clicking the original HN link entitled "Port scanning /0 using insecure embedded devices" (which I saw and ignored).

I wonder if it will be same here on HN!
