morgosmaci··on A Dad Took Photos of His Kid for the Doctor. Google Flagged Him as a Criminal
It was removed but there was a discussion about a similar account over on the Photos reddit this week. https://old.reddit.com/r/googlephotos/comments/yzz03x/it_loo...
morgosmaci··on Tell HN: Godaddy canceled my domain, gave me 2h to respond, then charged €150
They don't actually have to pay for it by using "domain tasting" which gives them the option to grab the domain for up to 5 days. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name_front_running
morgosmaci··on Google keeps records of everything you buy, even if you delete the email receipt
Ah so it does, but that URL has a bearer token that only lasts for one minute. Try it again after a minute.

Edit: I don't work on this stuff, but have seen it challenge me when trying to do this exact thing.

This shouldn't be true any more, I just tried it out by grabbing the lh[0-9]* url for the image bytes and that won't open in an incognito browser without a Google Login. Can you share with me how to reproduce this "url copy"? If you want to send it privately just tack gmail.com onto my username.

Or you can file feedback from the photo web page and just tag me in it.

You can revoke a link. Go to the shared album page. (clicking on the link will take you there) Click the options menu item and there is a toggle for link sharing that will revoke the magic url and token.
morgosmaci··on We rendered a million web pages to find out what makes the web slow
Wait a company logo about javascript that uses {}? Maybe thrown into a single color circle? Mild Shock.

Edit: I will give you that their web page header and pricing looks very similar.

morgosmaci··on Show HN: Make comic book layouts in the browser
If I had to ask for a feature, it would be to make this "layouts for the browser" instead of/in addition to "in the browser". Where the output would be html/css to do the masking so you could assign an image to each panel.
morgosmaci··on Google AdWords charged me for clicks in Istanbul while location-targeting the US
And that was half of this post, the blog was as much about using their new product to track this problem as it was about finding the problem. Kudo's to solving a problem you find while making the product.
morgosmaci··on Every Noise at Once
Talk about false advertising. I couldn't find the button that plays all of the samples at the same time.
morgosmaci··on Hey advertisers, track this
I would guess that as third party cookie blocking becomes more popular, the more aggressive sites will fall back to IP tracking more often.
morgosmaci··on How Not to Acknowledge a Data Breach
How not to report about how not to acknowledge a data breach includes dubbing silly music over the other guy speaking to further prove your smugness. While it is always fun to say I told you so, you can still be professional about it.
morgosmaci··on Post-mortem of March 12 Google outage
(°ʖ°)
morgosmaci··on Most polluted cities of 2018
All of the US cities in the North America top 50 are rural CA cities. I have to assume that their over all badness last year was due to the fires.
morgosmaci··on DuckDuckGo Traffic
Why not "Just F-king Duck it."

morgosmaci··on Facebook photo-scanning lawsuit could cost it billions
But who has to opt in, the person taking the picture, the person uploading the picture, any and all people in the picture?
morgosmaci··on How to Easily Detect Objects with Deep Learning on Raspberry Pi
Another great tutorial I have found is the guy who runs an AI on twitch that plays GTA-V. Here is his object detection tutorial playlist.

morgosmaci··on Tell HN: I just wanted to say: thank you, Hacker News
I find it interesting that you are not having a problem finding Jr SWE roles. I co-run a computer science career community (CS Career Hackers) and I often get a lot of complaints by new grads about the lack of Jr roles.
morgosmaci··on Show HN: Embedding Deep Learning models into your Slides using R
I wonder which numbers he demonstrated. All straight vertical lines are strongly marked 8 for me and all very 2 looking curves with a straight line at the bottom are clearly "3".
morgosmaci··on Guaranteed Minimum What?
And then with out any human interaction, the tablet asks politely for a 20% tip... I wonder if the tablet makes less than minimum wage too.
morgosmaci··on Google Earth Redesigned
None of which are on the photos team or have the time to rewrite it for the newer stacks.
morgosmaci··on Show HN: LuaGB – A Gameboy emulator written in pure Lua
It is nice to see how far this has come. I watched most of the early development on Twitch.
morgosmaci··on Alphabet's Project Loon says it will run the program with fewer balloons
The saying is you miss 100% of the (moon)shots you don't attempt.
morgosmaci··on Scammed By A Silicon Valley Startup
You would have to download the app they spammed with vibrates and let it install.
morgosmaci··on Ask HN: How do you use Amazon Echo?
Yes, the EPS log (eat, poop, sleep). The first thing a Dr. will ask you if your baby is not feeling well is are there any changes in any of these.
morgosmaci··on Notes on Google's Site Reliability Engineering Book
I was an SRE who was most comfortable in C++ who changed ladders to a SWE team who was primarily Java. To be honest it was harder to learn all the team specific stuff than pick up Java.

The reason Python tends to suck is not all really nice libraries are ported to it in any reasonable amount of time. (If you need it, you end up doing the work). Go sucks in new and totally different ways.

morgosmaci··on 10M Concurrent Websockets

    apt-get install -y redis-server
    echo "bind *" >> /etc/redis/redis.conf
/shiver....

And your new redis server joins all of the other unprotected ones directly connected to the net with no protection or real security.

morgosmaci··on How I took control of my personal finances. Simplicity in money saving
Not a comment about whether it is an add, but Blinq is already a crowded name, you may want to think up something unique. There was a dating app with AI hot or not ratings here just a day or two ago with the same name, not to mention the discount website that already has blinq.com.
morgosmaci··on How I took control of my personal finances. Simplicity in money saving
The ones that jumped out at me as I read:

"public communication tickets" "bot so healthy" "You probably realised taht you won’t be able to makea cut" (2 in one)

"I go o the grocery"
