If the user logs in from a device we haven't seen before, or they haven't logged in for more than a year (or six months, or two weeks etc), send them an email challenge. Maybe the email address on file is also cracked but it'

Passing it off as proceeds from a vending machine business was smart, I wonder if he actually had a fleet of vending machines to make that plausible. Of course you’d need to be able to show receipts for cost of goods sold… money laundering

Kids already get the raised bumpers, now their ball can explode at the end of the lane

Hmm... sensors read the vector/spin/color of the ball as it travels down the lane and models its trajectory, the real ball drops into a concealed pit at the end of the lane just before where the pins would be, the screen shows a r

I think they're already adapting to that- posting lots and logs of slightly different ads from different accounts, probably all going to the same place.

How much would you pay to have your project on the front page of Hacker News for most of the day? More or less than $20,000?

Yes, the water will get cold.

You could achieve this without any permanent alterations or opening the wall by putting a submersible pump in the tub and hooking the output up so the output from the pump goes into the shower head pipe. The water would come out of the tu
