Uses XSS and Google Street View Data to Determine Physical Location
http://www.securityweek.com/hacker-uses-xss-and-google-streetview-data-determine-physical-location
wiredmikey sends along a brief (and quite poorly written) report from Security Week on Samy Kamkar's talk at Black Hat last week. In the video, which is amusing, he demonstrates how to obtain location information (within 30 feet, in the example he shows) of a user who does no more than visit a malicious website. The technique involves sniffing out the local router, breaking into it to obtain its MAC accress, and sending that to Google to extract the router's location from Google's Street View database.

Show HN: I Built a Task Board for Makers
https://www.7todos.com/
As crazy as it sounds, I really created my own task board because no one worked for me. There is just a huge gap between Jira (which is a mess) and something like Todoist (which is too simple).

So I build 7todos for myself. A task board to fill the gap. And over time a lot of people have joined and love it as well. One of my favorite feedback

"In my opinion, it does that better than all the other more comprehensive tools like DoneDone, Easynote, or Anywhere. Other tools may have more features or focus on teamwork, but when I work with them, I consistently feel like they slow me down. Not so with 7todos."

The kind of feedback you love to hear, especially as an indie maker

7todos aims to help you to get an overview of all workspaces and all your tasks across projects, and maybe it can also help you :)

Show HN: Populate a Full Movie DB from TMDB and IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes
https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/populate-movies
Hey HN, I just published an open source project which includes scripts and a guide for populating a high quality database of movies, including the most important metadata from major providers.

This includes difficult to access metadata like IMDB ratings, Rotten Tomatoes critic & audience scores, YouTube trailers, and more.

All scripts are idempotent and are designed to be re-run whenever you want to refresh your data, leaving the problem of data drift to these third-party providers.

The project's open source & free and uses TypeScript + Prisma, so hopefully some of you will find it useful for random hackathon project.

Ask HN: Code Myself Or Outsource?
Hi All,

I am an ABAP developer (SAP platform) and have this excellent concept of a educational website which i believe should do well. But I know nothing of PHP and Apache but I am technically good and CAN built the website once I learn PHP (may be twice or even thrice more time than what a experienced professional will take)

I have the savings to outsource the website development(and it is within my budget ) but I am not sure .

I can investment the time I spend learning PHP in marketing and community development which I think will server larger business interests ... but do
I really need to know PHP well in order to "Manage" a development team in future ? I am good at suggesting "features" that is my forte but to have them implemented by some one else do I need to know PHP my self ?I mean I can pick up PHP as time progresses but I am confused ... any suggestions will greatly help.. :)

What do you suggest I do ?

PS: I have currently a 3 sites up and running but they are on wordpress and joomla . No code myself
