Show HN: A simple way to secure your home from cyber threats
https://www.qomodo.io
Hey HN - We have been working on qomodo this year which provides everyday homes with a simple way protect smart homes (with Ring Doorbell, Sonos, Google Home, Nest, SimpliSafe etc) from cyber threats.

We are wanting to get rid of having to install apps across multiple devices, trying to set up complex home networks for those with little to no technical skills.

Our mobile app allows users to interact with the qomodo hub (which plugs in to your router) to view security alerts (malicious activity that we blocked), manage their settings and set VPN locations (think for privacy but also changing your Smart TV location).

Right now we are using OEM hardware but are looking to develop our own now that we have our own firmware. Most of the heavy lifting is being done on AWS, and our mobile app is for the user/HW interaction (REACT). The app communicates with AWS AWS and AWS has a constant line connection with the box.
Currently in the middle of writing up an 'under the hood' type page, but for someone like my next door neighbour.

We had heavy python programmes on the box for a while but it was killing our HW resource, looked at maybe trying to compile in Rust but then decided to make the firmware as lightweight as possible so we did not have to rely on the box spec (ripped a bunch of python out) - we can process and do most things via AWS, lambda functions and some scripts (python and JavaScript) and jobs for the updates/blocking.

Getting started with electronics, open source hardware... on the cheap
http://www.makershed.com
open source hardware and arduino has come up a lot here so i got a special code for 10% off for hacker news readers (i realize it might be shared outside here, that's ok) this is for the Maker Shed, i'm senior editor @ MAKE magazine.

http://www.makershed.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=20

use code: MKHCKR on checkout and get 10% off - this is one of the few/best deals on arduinos and electronic kits. we now stock the new arduinos too.

this expires 12/1 - hope this wasn't spammy, i'd like to see more folks build cool projects.

if you're interested in the biz model behind open source hardware, wired has a good article...
http://www.wired.com/techbiz/startups/magazine/16-11/ff_openmanufacturing?currentPage=all

Show HN: RLP Records an ETH music registry prototype using acoustic fingerprints
https://github.com/aquaflamingo/rlp-records
Hi HN, I wanted to share a little prototype I was working on to create an ethereum music registry system.

The idea was that an artist could upload their music to the app, and the app would fingerprint the track and create an NFT using the derived data so that the music is claimed and searchable.
There's a demo video showing the project in the README.

The app is written using Hardhat, React, IPFS, Django, MVP.css and pyacoustid (the fingerprinting library). I had some ideas of how you could create on-chain record labels too
Show HN: Prosur: Logs all 3D printer activity in a DB, view it all in a browser
https://github.com/EDG5000/prosur
After much frustration in trying to reliably log data from my custom 3D printer with a heated chamber, I wrote this tool. I eventually decided to go all-in and make something very robust, and expand the scope to collect not just chamber temperatures, but images, print jobs, slicer settings, motor positions, etc. as well.
The tool displays all data in a single plot, which scrolls all the way back to 1970 and allows zooming out. The left sidebar shows print jobs, while the right sidebar shows slicer settings for the currently-viewed job and allows downloading the original print file.
The graph will auto-update every second.
The bottom bar shows a timeline of images, matching the x-axis of the plot above.

You’ve got whiteboards and stickies everywhere, people are collaborating more than they ever were before and information radiators are everywhere.

Kicking this "web" thing along
https://www.facebook.com/notes/yang-jerng-hwa/kicking-this-web-thing-along/10150475581148012
On a Ycombinator <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2975608">comment</a> about <a href="http://www.dartlang.org/">Dart</a> (a new web programming language by Google) someone wrote "I'm really hoping that we're coming to the end of the era where we use server-side languages to generate static HTML, and I hope we're closer to the end of the creation of new languages to do that."

I totally agree. I've spent the last year musing about how we'll be mailing entire VM states to each other in the future, the same way that people mail saved-games and Word documents today.

Since I started web programming in 2009, I've found the whole client-server architecture to be bunk (made worse by cumbersomely evolved W3 "standards" like HTML and CSS). Perhaps in the future, web servers and clients won't be written on different stacks that talk to each other like a wet market - perhaps they'll just share a common "virtual application" model, with a share "virtual addressing space" and pass messages back and forth about the state of the app in real time.

I guess node.js enthusiasts see something like this coming up, and contemporary implementations are simply the server-client-integrated frameworks like Google Web Toolkit.

Oh well. Anyone else sick of the web, and think it needs reinventing?
Poll: Will you change your email because of Epsilon?
Epsilon leaked email addresses and names. But it wasn't just a huge list, it was broken up by client and function. For example, CAUCE says that your potential use of prescription drugs may be revealed by which file your email was found in.

http://www.cauce.org/2011/04/epsilon-breach-criminals-now-know-what-prescriptions-you-take.html

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2459611

That may be the only effective physical solution (beyond "being careful"). But it's incredibly disruptive.
inDinero – Senior Web Engineer
http://srwebengineer.indinero.com/
Hi there!  inDinero is looking to bring on an additional engineer who will be working on the company's greatest engineering challenges. To be successful in this role, you'll have to be super smart, be well versed in CS concepts and studies, and you’ll need to have a passion for helping small businesses succeed.

We're looking for a Senior Engineer who can oversee the product growth as we attract thousands of new clients. We're unlike any other tech startup out there, because we're working to transform an industry that typically moves super slow.  Why work on yet another photo sharing app when you can change the way that businesses think about accounting and tax? This is a true problem that customers are willing to pay for, and we're growing our run-rate by 6-figures month-over-month.

You'll work side-by-side with co-founder Andy Su to work on the most challenging engineering projects in the company. This isn't just slicing and dicing html/CSS and simple ruby features… you're working on efficient ways to manipulate data across a multi-million row data set; you're helping facilitate money transfer between businesses; the list goes on and on, but you'll be assigned the most challenging engineering tasks that the company has.

Skills We're Looking For:

•Solid computer science background. Fundamentals in algorithms and complexity theory.

•Ruby on Rails, Java, HAML/SASS/JS, Sysadmin experience.

THINK WE COULD BE A GOOD FIT?
Shoot a note over to jobs@indinero.com with why you'd be perfect for the role!

As data breaches are making major headlines, from massive consumer brands like Target and Coca-Cola to financial institutions and local government, organizations are scrambling to understand how these breaches occurred and most importantly who was behind each attack.
