How do you get Apple to take down a malicious app?
I've been trying for the past month to get the app "Toast Plus" removed from their store after it stole 6500 dollars worth of XRP from me. I've decompiled the app and showed them the exact lines of code that are doing the dirty work. Meanwhile i've watched at least 100K USD worth of XRP being funneled into the thief's account from users like me, who thought they were using the old Toast Wallet app that it is emulating. Emailing appreview@apple.com gets me "we will look into it" one liner email and absolutely no follow up. Do they really not care that an app in the finance section is stealing from their users???

What if you set out to code the RiteTag backend?
http://osakabentures.com/2013/08/what-if-you-set-out-to-code-the-ritetag-backend/
What if you could be a co-founder of RiteTag?

It’s 18 months in the making, and about to be re-made. We need 3 back-end engineers for our bootstrapped startup. If this is not for you, perhaps you might forward this post and/or connect me with the backend php person who you know – who should be in a startup with a hell of a future?

Spoiler: This doesn’t pay up front cash. (And yet, we’ll take on no new flakes.)

An untapped search problem?
http://pipeline.corante.com/archives/2007/08/21/sorting_through_the_piles.php
>I now accumulate piles of PDF files and the like, scattered among folders on my hard drive(s). How to organize them?

there has to be a better way of doing this than just plain tags. can't be social (yet) since the pdf's are copyright and should only sit on your hardrive. maybe some stored routines that search all /references/ for keywords and sticky notes on the pdf etc etc
Can't get computer to connect to GSM modem
I'm a student working on a project that involves interacting with a GSM modem via AT commands. I've been having trouble connecting my computer to the modem.

What I know: The modem is on, the drivers are installed, a sim card is in one of the modem's ports, and I see the COM ports in the device manager.

However, when I try to use puTTy to enter with serial, it launches, but it never works. On one of the ports, it lets me type, but it never responds when I use the command "AT". On all the others, it simply won't let me type anything.

I have been stuck on this for a while and any suggestions would be appreciated.

Software Engineering vs Computer Science
I am an aspiring Software Engineering(MS) student.
I want to know the difference between a software engineering graduate and Computer Science graduate ?
What is the role of an SE and what is the role of CS?
which among the both have better job opportunities ? or do they both weight the same?
what are the jobs that both of the above are likely to get?
as SE will I be able to enter the realm that a CS student does? And can a SE apply for a job where it says "B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Computer Science or equivalent,"?
Thanks

My friend's feet hurt, so she invented new shoes
http://www.flipslip.com/about
Esther is a friend of mine that lives here in San Francisco. She's a single founder. I've watched from the sidelines, and once or twice given an opinion or two, as she started her business in the last year or so.

It started with her hating to walk around SF in heels and not wanting to carry sneakers. She hand-made her first prototype, has researched and found manufacturers in LA and China, and basically done every thing on her own to get her product out the door.

She had a personal problem, saw that other people have a similar one, and went out to solve it.

Ask HN: What is your motivation for working on open source projects?
Working on open source projects takes lots of time and effort and in most cases there's no financial reward.

The questions:

So what is it that motivates you to commit your valuable time to working on open source?

How much time per week would you spend working on open source projects?

Are you trying to make your open source work earn you money?
Ask HN: What hobby projects do you work on after your 8-hour workday?
I have recently begun to feel that my day job does not give me the satisfaction I once used to get. More and more stuff is moving to AWS. More and more stuff gets automated. Instead of using my computer science skills that I once used to love, I now spend my time figuring out and groking the idiosyncratic design decisions made in AWS, Kubernetes, etc. They are not pretty. They are not elegant. I would like to work on some hobby projects again where I can explore the joy of computing again. But I have a full time day job and a family. I can spend maybe 1 hour or 2 hour max per day. So looking around for ideas.

When you are not talking
Hey everyone. I wanted to wish everyone a merry Christmas day, whether you are Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Atheist, or believe something else.

The president and the first lady sent a Merry Christmas message out to all today, and I watched it on youtube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rq4HDwY9Mc
(I will comment with a clickable link later)

What I find myself doing sometimes when I watch a duo like this, is watch the person who's not talking. It's a hobby of mine to study human psychology and see what works well.

Anyway, I think Barack Obama and Michelle have done a great job here. It's largely about the mindset which you are in when you are staring at the camera, and supporting your partner. You have to listen to them as the audience would, but face the audience.

I think when we present our ideas as a team, we can all benefit from learning to be a better "supportive cast member" when we are not doing the talking.

Webmag uses Slinkset (YC O8) to remix another webmag's end-of-year album list
http://paste.patrolmag.com/
I thought this was well-executed and a nice spin on editorial content.

Disclosure:

1. I know the patrolmag people.
2. I originally suggested the idea to them, as it was something I'd thought about doing on my own site.

Question for the slinkset guys:

How hard is it to set up a subdomain like this? Do I have to have DNS control? One of the side effects of moving to slicehost and getting a sysadmin is that I have to run all that stuff by him. This adds a little extra cost to setting up something like this on the fly.

Judiciary budget cuts may lead to lighter sentences
http://www.law.com/jsp/nlj/PubArticleNLJ.jsp?id=1202620133741
"Pursuing legislation that would give federal judges greater flexibility to sentence below mandatory minimums was another longer-term strategy announced by the judicial conference. The judiciary pays for offender supervision at an estimated cost of about $279 per month per offender. Officials said that offenders sentenced under mandatory minimums spend more time under supervision. Congress is considering a bill, the Justice Safety Valve Act, that would allow greater judicial discretion at sentencing. Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. supports the legislation."
