At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the high roller database itself were stored on its own IoT device linked to some "high roller analysis as a service" platform.

This looks really nice. Having a bit of trouble getting the bridge running on node v6.11 on Windows 10.

The app mentions requiring the latest version of node but it's not clear whether you need the standard LTS (6.11) or the bleeding edge (8.5).

Thanks!

From an outsider/user perspective I feel like Google's internal philosophy is more algned with "keeping the algorithm happy" rather than deal with any single customer on an individual basis.

The bill[1] itself is plain language and easy to read.

The bill establishes a 'basic economic security working group' to investigate the broader issue of how to properly support sudden mass under-employment. The bill doesn't only mention the automation of jobs but also the widening equality gap and globalization of jobs. As per the bill, Hawaii has a heavy reliance on a service-based economy and is already significant displacement of local jobs.

I don't know how these bills work with schedules/deadlines (there doesn't seem to be any timeline specified in the bill) but I'm quite excited to see the first findings.

WSJ is discriminating against Google's user-base by blocking content that Google presumed the user would have access to. Yet WSJ thinks they're the ones being discriminated against. As WSJ is finding, Google will not even bother attempting to index, sort and recommend content that is unavailable to 99.999% of its user base. It's nice that they're supposedly better off, or at least the same off, without high Google results. Though I doubt this will stop them from endlessly attempting to game the system.

This is a cool idea but it still falls very short by not serving users outside of the US. To the point where the welcome page doesn't even acknowledge that there may be global interest: https://tv.youtube.com/welcome/ (enter your ZIP code, no country picker ... YouTube, you do realize you're on the internet, right?)

Does YouTube care about getting content to the world? Or just getting as many of their fingers in the pie as possible and abusing the current geo-restricted licensing model while they can?

Was wondering the same thing.. come for tech news, get instantly put off by vocal users forcing US politics in the conversations. I thought the no politic rule would help with that.

It is unfortunate that you are required to use the MS Store (sign-up required) to install Edge extensions. This is not a requirement of the base browser application itself. Chrome doesn't force you to sign-in to install extensions, why does Edge?

Not sure what to think about this in the context of HN. I've seen other such stances in other communities where it just ends up being a way to enforce/preserve a political bias. Where some stories get a pass for special reasons "oh, this is noteworthy, and from a credible source!", it's just laughable. I hope this doesn't happen here.

I appreciate the response. I had no idea things were this bad.

How does IP spoofing even work outside of those DNS reflection attacks mentioned on Krebs' blog? [1]

> "many were garbage Web attack methods that require a legitimate connection between the attacking host and the target, including SYN, GET and POST floods."

I constantly see references relating to DDoS attacks about how IP spoofing is such an obvious trick to use but I've never seen any way to actually do it. Why wouldn't every device on the internet spoof their IP?
