newsmaster··on JP Morgan files for anonymous online payment system
Call me paranoid but sounds like they're trying to stop institutions adopting bitcoins as payment to each other otherwise they'll sue? What's the definition of institution anyway? If it's got customers then isn't it the same as a company/business?
newsmaster··on Bitcoin 0.8.6 Released: Updates Block Size Limits, Free Transactions, OS X Bugs
Genuine question: Does this mean Btc is not so decentralized after all? Could they possibly decide one day to release an update to exercise ultimate control/power over btc?

That's alright, it's the first time I'm reading it today too.

newsmaster··on Process videos in browser using FFmpeg compiled to JavaScript
http://www.easyprintscreen.com saves me time firing up photoshop.

(shameless plug) more editing tools coming soon :)

Funnily enough I'm using a color pallete plugin written by @bgrins who is working on the OP project.

newsmaster··on Quant turned whistle blower explains how the market is rigged [video]
Is it possible for a non-finance orientated coder to get into the industry? Or does one need to be a math genius as well as a coder?
newsmaster··on The secret world of cargo ships
The difference is obvious to you and me and western folks. But to the average brown kid on the ground seeing his village get blown to pieces, he aint gonna know and he'll be the one sending the bombs when he's a bigger boy. Why not use the drones and send targeted dinners to his table and he'll be a likely friend to the US in the future.
newsmaster··on The secret world of cargo ships
Funny, that's exactly what the brown people said.

Now you're 1 step closer to figuring out how to build this tool :)

newsmaster··on The secret world of cargo ships
Might be a good idea to stop doing things which cause people to send you bombs.
newsmaster··on Teenagers say goodbye to Facebook and hello to messenger apps
I'm really not sure about the branding of it. You'd think it was a game or flashcards or something in that region.
newsmaster··on Teenagers say goodbye to Facebook and hello to messenger apps
Funny, I finally took the plunge too just the other day and I'm not a teen. Deleted everything, my whole account, every post, every photo, every tag, every poke, after I downloaded a copy of my stuff of course. But it was not easy task, oh no! They deliberately make it difficult to delete things! The only way is manually one by one, but its worth it. Finally FB free.

My reasons? Well it got really annoying how it turned into a Womans Magazine! Maybe I'm getting to that age when my friends are getting married and having kids, but I'm really not interested in posts of babies, Miley Cyrus BS, Royal Wedding nonsense etc... The list goes on and I only subscribed to reputable news sources like the Times, Guardian.

newsmaster··on Show HN: My embarrassingly simple printscreen weekend webapp
Hey Biturd seems like you're using a lot of screenshots in your workflow but what are they for? Product development? I only stumbled upon this as a side project and would like to see how it fits in with people. thx
newsmaster··on Show HN: My embarrassingly simple printscreen weekend webapp
Thanks! I'll add more tools this weekend and polish it up a bit. How much would one be willing to pay for something like?
newsmaster··on Show HN: My embarrassingly simple printscreen weekend webapp
My apologies, I've added it to the save button now.
newsmaster··on Show HN: My embarrassingly simple printscreen weekend webapp
I ran into a security error 18 with Safari after pasting the image from clipboard and running the data through Canvas .getDataURL(). Perhaps Safari devs could make an exception for clipboard images?

The imgur id is in the URL after you press save :)
newsmaster··on Show HN: My embarrassingly simple printscreen weekend webapp
Haha, there's no monitoring setup, infact there's no backend at all :)
newsmaster··on Show HN: My embarrassingly simple printscreen weekend webapp
I was halfway creating a progress bar when I thought the design sucked so I kept it simple, but yes coming weekend a progress bar will be made.
newsmaster··on Show HN: My embarrassingly simple printscreen weekend webapp
Oops, I tested on Win+Mac. Guess I'll be downloading linux then.
newsmaster··on The easiest way to say « Fuck » to Internet Explorer
Not everyone can upgrade to IE11 unfortunately. I'm on vista and stuck with IE9 so I don't even bother.
newsmaster··on Javascript RAR reader
Very nice. Client side JS is getting more and more powerful. I've been playing with a JS gif compiler lately and I'm amazed it's even possible.
newsmaster··on Show HN: See where in the world the F-bomb is being dropped
I wants to know about the CBomb
newsmaster··on KitKat’s primary interface is Google Search
So where's the chocolate?
newsmaster··on Russia: Hidden chips 'launch spam attacks from irons'
"by connecting to any computer within a 200m (656ft) radius which were using unprotected Wi-Fi networks."

wow it's better than any wifi router I've ever owned! Time to buy an iron.

newsmaster··on Ask HN: What meds, pills, vitamins do you take on a daily or almost daily basis?
May I ask about your reasons for using steroids and HGH? Are there any other benefits aside from getting ripped and muscle growth? I did research into them a while back and even located a supplier but I really don't like the needles.
newsmaster··on NSA monitored calls of 35 world leaders
I suspect this is already happening. There was a guide/tutorial posted a while ago on how to hijack a forum/thread and redirect the flow of conversation. I can't find the link but it was very detailed and wouldn't surprise me if someone was profiting from selling such a service as pr/thought/damage control.
newsmaster··on Frequency-shaped background noise generators
Don't know why but I find the babble noise really creepy. http://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/babbleNoiseGenerator.php
newsmaster··on How to Charge $546 for Six Liters of Saltwater
What's the price of water in the desert? Somebody clearly realized this and appplied it to US healthcare system. Way to go capitalism.
newsmaster··on Inside Caracas' Tower of David, the World's Tallest Slum
Well I hope the community pulls it off and makes it the most awesome place to live in Caracas, then go on to become a model solution and case study for future housing, I hope.
