In my country, the laws are draconian and totally against this kind of responsible disclosure. But being a good guy, whenever I find something I write a strongly worded email explaining why the company's IT department messed up, how to

I was going to get an NFC ring initially. But then I woke up one night and decided that if I ever own a gun, and need it in the middle of the night because a zombie broke into my house. I'd want a system where I can stick my hand under

All of these are valid biohacks. I didn't mean to imply that NFC chips are the only things in this category. Have you done something interesting with your cochlear implant?

by amingilani 9y ago
Unfortunately no, this is a passive tag that can only let you read data that's on the chip. The chip also had a unique ID. Android or Apple Pay use your phone's NFC antenna to communicate. But they don't give out the same inf

It's a passive tag, so I can edit it all I want but then again I live in Pakistan, our tickets are paper :)

For a moment there, I was wondering what NASA was doing prospecting for gold in Argentina.

It doesn't matter. Most of the clients I worked with didn't have a running operation before and wanted me to start with a framework I was most comfortable with and so I ran with Ruby on Rails. Had I been a Java/Spring dev, I

Oh no, I'm sorry, I probably didn't explain right. Toptal let's you decide your hourly rate. $500/hour is awful in the sense that it's too darn high! :) You're welcome to set whatever rate you think your time i

So your code worked as intended, and the intention was to kill people since it was used by the military? You sir, have written the most destructive code on this thread. I'm sorry for how you must feel.

Oh my god, I laughed for a good 5 minutes on this one. The comments just add to the hilarity.

Yes, I work purely remotely. The screening process shouldn't be that tough. It's broken into multiple stages. The first three are short sessions. The longest of which was around (I think, don't hold me to it) an hour. The pro

Don't let that get to you, they have an intense screening process but after you pass it, that's just it. I'm 25, I have a degree in Economics and Finance, and no formal computer education. All I have is my self-taught experie

I don't want to share my exact rate, but I easily make a month what a Silicon Valley engineer at a seed startup can.. and since I live in a developing country it's an order of magnitude more than most people my age. If you're

As an alternative point of view, even if I netted the $25m at which point my quality of life peaks, I wouldn't stop working. I love what I do. Money is nice and all but I'm an inventer at heart and all the money in the world isn&#

Oh boy, sigh, I wish I could share something I just automated, it's insane. Like, everyone that sees it tells me it's pure genius. Problem is that it isn't ready to for the public. I'll do a show HN next week, but by GOD

top, ps aux, which, find, ls, rm, cd, cat, echo, touch, pbcopy, ssh That's pretty much it, otherwise I have a whole lot of cli tools too. Things like git, tmux, mosh, rails.. but I guess they don't count.

This may be an unpopular opinion but I feel strongly against titles like this. They could have very well gone with "...Facebook take Instagram Market share" but they wanted to make it personal and human. I'm disgusted by the

As a Pakistani that sees the bigger picture, I agree with you. It's a popular narrative in Pakistan that a lot of the country's problems are caused by RAW, the CIA, or any other three lettered acronym, and that a lot of our proble

It took me a while from reading all the comments to realize that it's a client side library that stores state in the URL. It's nice but I'm still not sure when to use it and why you made it. Maybe you could add your personal

Can someone please ELI5 what I'm supposed to be seeing? I just opened this page and saw a bunch of buzzwords. What is this? What is this for? Why is it hosted on an IP address?
