Looks cool, some things I would add: - Increase vertical scroll after adding a widget. - Add code detection from title to save some time: - In the video you set the title to "Ruby Methods Example". - Loop through the la

This sounds more like encryption than compression and I don't understand how it could save space the majority of the unique data is still needed for each movie. I hate to say it and I would love to be proved wrong, but my theory is tha

Another theory that I read was that Sloot had somehow linked analog and digital (he was supposedly a TV technician before) and that he was parameterizing data from an analog signal using a small amount of data. Source: http://jan

Nearly everything that you do on a page is trackable if you have JS enabled including how you moved your mouse on the page ( https://api.jquery.com/mousemove/ ). To keep the technical details short: the events are logged

If you want to add a huge improvement for this, then listen for the hash changes, and switch to the correct tab once changed so that they change when the back/forward buttons are pressed.

The biggest issue that I can see with this is abuse. Do you have a way of preventing email spam and outgoing DoS attacks?

This is fun gag to play. But something that would really awesome would be if you could call your script if an unknown command is run and have the script look for a command that's most similar to the misspelled one and ask if that'

But how will you install it on the phone? They only allow installs through App Store.

Wouldn't that require a jailbreak?

It's 2016, everyone has JS enabled. The ones that don't are most likely bots (now even that's changing thanks to projects like phantomjs).

Do what? I read the article and the song was the first thing that popped into my mind so I thought I'd share.

Still I'm seeing fairly large services use things like XML-RPC to contact their servers.

That's usually the case, but I can't really come up with anything as I can't find any downsides to it.

But RESTful APIs have been around for so long though, does this the existing infrastructure situation really apply to this?

Ask HN: Why don't people just stick to something universal for APIs?

Well if he wasn't the Wikileaks team would've said something. He also has other people working for him which would be able to help him out with this. And thanks for the downvote.

Shouldn't be too difficult to surpass by temporarily using mobile data or setting up an antenna for long-range wifi.

This sounds right and the way these regulations are set is bullshit. Sure, there should be regulations but it shouldn't lead to large fees and make it difficult to pay or receive payments online.

I bet this will revolutionize online payments.

For $10 per month I'd say your best bet would be shared hosting (or a VPS at best) together with Cloudflare's free plan (for the SSL and CDN).

Sounds cool and it's more like 1.8M. Sadly I don't think it'd be much use for anyone since Archive.org takes care of all archiving. The only time that I'd see screenshots come handy is for live previews.
