Hopefully it will soon be possible to use this for software downloads even if the files themselves are served over http or ftp (including, sadly, many open source projects; the thing I like best about the popularity of github is that you know you can clone over https). It is depressing how much software can be downloaded from any of dozens of mirrors without a hash anywhere (unless your antivirus software checks hashes of such downloads, which it sounds like many on Windows do). Of course, these sites could already have an https page with hashes for manual checking but almost never do. Hopefully automated checking would convince a few to do it.

P.S. Blake2s would be a great additonal hash to support.

Yes, a server-side hook is basically an arbitrary python/bash/whatever script with access to the commits being pushed. You can enforce anything server-side.
I needed a simple "click to copy some data" so I made this simple function: https://gist.github.com/mdamien/a0f2bd91750a2d45c8ab

I feel like the need for a whole library here is a bit overkill if you have a "simple" usage.
Outgrowing Apache Storm: why we built in-house distributed stream processing
Remember, this is Amazon. A PR machine whose primary product is their stock. The Amazon web store is almost an afterthought.

I will bet that in a year these devices will be on sale there. (Amazon's going to give up selling the iPhone? Yeah right!)

This is just PR generated clickbait.
I went back to find the document in question to make sure it wasn't user error, and I think ziad-saab was correct, I removed a cell above it and I got the correct response. The cell above it didn't have any error indications though so I assumed it was working OK
Doesn't seem that crazy to me. One site I looked at sells 300 capsules for $15 and the whole page is littered with clear warnings about overdose. The lethal dose of caffeine seems to be around 5 to 10 grams so you'd have to eat 25 200mg capsules in a short period to get into danger. That doesn't seem any more dangerous than something like tylenol which they do sell.

Funny story, I use to work for a pharma company, and we had all that kind of stuff in a secure drug lock up area. You had to log stuff out, it was all very organized. We did a lot of contract manufacturing and we'd get large orders and bring in temp workers. We had a guy one day who ended up getting into the pure caffeine powder, the chemist in the lab figured he'd ingested 800 cola's worth of caffeine. Like you said, not going to kill you but we sent him to the hospital any ways. And we decided to only allow regular employees to get into that area :)

Run otool to check but Apple at least builds their stuff right and it's getting harder for companies to shoot themselves in the foot like that cause Xcode automatically does the right stuff for devs that are rushed not careful.
Agree - I'd much prefer an "undo/redo" button inside the app, instead of flooding my history state. They can change the URL all they want (for linkability) but leave my damn history alone!
Probably not. Apple Stores are in business to sell Apple products, always have been. Amazon sells everything, always has. So that's one point. Also, we don't know that Apple would not carry FireTV if Amazon solicited for space in Apple's retail store the same as any other 3rd party vendor.

I don't necessarily think this is anticompetitive on the part of Amazon, either. I DO think it's a cheap shot, and alienates me as a decade-long customer of Amazon.

Startup Chile's Successful Companies
Yes - they had an excellent brand for quantity of product and quality of service. Their whole competition with Google and lack of support of its products has been undermining that.

It seems a particularly bad move given the quick delivery space has many competitors now and Wal-mart, Target, Jet.com... have began competing with online orders. Reputation will be extremely important.
As some have said above, things get awkward with gray areas. Would reddit be prevented from banning the many unethical but legal subreddits? I will bite that bullet, but many will not.
Of course it's their fault, it's their own product?
This is not a good idea.

Should Amazon be forced to sell Confederate flags if they find them immoral?
Curated app stores are a good thing for users. Should Apple be forced to compromise the quality of their user experience because of random laws?
And Airbnb being forced to allow anyone to list properties seems like a major safety issue.

There will always be competitors to Amazon, and it's ridiculous to suggest that them not selling something means you're freedom is being compromised. Neither Google nor Apple will suffer from this move, and people can buy those products from other reputable vendors.

Besides, one of the barriers to competing with Amazon was a good payments system, and that has largely been solved in recent years.
The biggest streaming competitor to iTunes in the video space has got to be Netflix. And Netflix as well as HBO, Showtime, and many networks have had apps on iOS for many years, and AppleTV for a couple years (and presumably with the bar limiting the number of AppleTV Apps going away this fall, there will be an explosion of such Apps.)

I don't think you can say Apple is to blame (or Google, though the google situation I can't speak as clearly to because I don't know the technical details there.)
Would love to see this open sourced and able to run on my local machine (Tonic as a whole, I mean).
Ah, to live in a universe where Sears remembered it was a catalog store in the 90's and realized it could be again because of the web.
Off topic: Can we use the word 'Apple' instead of the logo? It creates a visual distraction.
Optimizing Android bytecode with Redex
I also have Prime but wish I could display it on our TV using Chromecast. The only way to do this is to cast a tab (desktop) or cast the entire device display (Android). It would be great if Amazon Prime Video supported Chromecast with a cast button like Hulu, Netflix, Youtube, Vevo, etc...
You don't have to have a literal monopoly afaiui, I think leveraging a strong market position in one area to benefit a different market can still apply. Not a lawyer though.

That's not wrong, of course, but I wonder for how many designers that portability is an important value.
We're using the word "embed" in what I feel like is a pretty generically understood web term of "take this external thing and embed it in your page".

The actual thing you are embedding is a version of our app, Tonic, which yes interfaces remotely with Node.js. I think this title is the best way of getting the idea across in a few words though.
Just out of curiosity, was streaming video your primary use case for Prime? I'm a huge fan of Amazon Prime (for purchasing goods with free two-day shipping), but I've never used the Prime streaming services at all.
I like this because I keep a U2F Neo-n device permanently in my laptop USB port. It's just more convenient for services that support it. In the future, I would like to require it for employees on our app.

However, when I go into Github to turn it on (in chrome using U2F devices I have already used with Google) it says "This device cannot be registered." Even when I remove the device it says that. I'm disappointed that the feature is not working.
That may be your personal opinion, but 15 'max(' on a single would not pass code review in any decently maintained project, especially when there is a cleaner, reusable alternative.

Moreover, complaining that implementing such a macro is too cumbersome because it implies finding a place for it in your code structure certainly doesn't imply professionalism. Just step back a minute and imagine the fresh intern comes to you with this code and explanation. Would it fly? Or are you just finding excuses because he's the author of a well known library?
In fact there was a version of Cisco VPN client that blew away /opt (and all of my macports) on first install!
I think the (relatively) small overlap between knowing your password and stealing your computer is important here.

Passwords are weak vs. many types of hacks, U2F is strong. And vice-versa (easy to steal the Yubi-key + computer, but they still need the password).
> I don't think this move is in Amazon's best interests long term.

I hope this is correct but I am unsure. People will probably not realize this is the case, and it is unlikely to affect _too_many_ people_ so the brand goodwill won't be that damaged. This is the same thing google does with search results, maybe not so much with competitors (maybe they do, I don't know) but they do penalize things they don't like. I remember the rapgenius penalty and to be clear I am not suggesting that this is the same thing as in the article, but to your point, I hope users get angry about this but I am unsure to what extent it will hurt them.
That sound you're hearing is DOJ lawyers clearing their calendars for the rest of the year. They're going to have some work to do.
You are free to start up your own competing platform if you don't like how one is run. See reddit/voat.

I'm not sure how creating (more) laws that govern how businesses are run will somehow result in more freedom?
I like the repl interface, and on the homepage screenshots make it look like it's a native, client-side app. I would I would actually like to have a rich node repl as a native app.

Just take the frontend code and replace the remote backend with electron?
I have found them to be constantly more expensive on tools vs Home Depot and Lowes. I used to think that Amazon would pretty much aways give me the best price (+/- random sites that may or may not be shady), but when it comes to any type of tools that has not been the case. I have also found Costco to be often times cheaper for household supplies such as paper towel, etc. Amazon's main benefit is convenience, but their price advantage seems to be slipping.
it's great to see indie.vc and its new approach to investments in companies; i think the challenge is that most vc models are based on a power-law (and i'm not yet sure how that fits with indie.vc's model)
A Node-style event loop leads to callback hell. It would be awesome to have something like Boost Asio.
But if the scenario is an attacker who can inject HTML tags, why wouldn't they simply run their script directly via <script>do_evil();</script>?
Less space than a Nomad. Lame.
Amazon needs to do a better job of explaining why they think Apple TV and Chromecast's restrictions are unfair.

Amazon's streaming is pretty good, I certainly wouldn't buy a device that doesn't support Prime Video.

Roku is pretty good, supports everything except Apple streaming AFAIK. One could make a pretty good argument Apple is the one locking people out.

But it might come across as Amazon throwing their weight around to hurt a competitor, which it doesn't even accomplish since there are so many other alternatives to buy those products.
In the US (even without a chip) you usually don't need to sign for smaller transactions - the shop assistant just swipes your card and it's done. This can even work on some European cards there (it did for my UK credit card).

Chip-and-PIN was invented to make card transactions more secure at a time when most transactions were 'offline', i.e. there was no direct connection from the card terminal to the issuer, so it wasn't possible to ask the issuer whether a transaction should be allowed. To attempt to combat card skimming, the chip was added, and terminals upgraded to require the PIN to be entered if the card had a chip [1].

Nowadays almost all transactions happen 'online', so the bank is asked whether the transaction should be authorised first (this is why there is sometimes a delay on terminals as they connect to the issuer). This means the issuer can run their own fraud detection before the transaction takes place. In the US they took this a step further, and just used that instead of requiring a signature to be collected for most purchases. To the end user it's an even better experience than NFC provides.

[1] This also means you have no reason to give your card to anyone, when the card needs to be inserted above/below the PIN pad, so it prevents another opportunity for skimming.
Does anyone here have a Kindle Fire Stick?
It seems to already have dual band, has double the memory/ghz of a chromecast and most importantly - does not need a phone or computer to work. It comes with an independent remote control and built in apps to run.
Plus, it already has Spotify.
I'm wondering why you would get the Chromecast over the Fire Stick.
I still don't know how you are linking Google.

1.) FTA, Google didn't abuse any patents - Microsoft used its patents to attack Android. Sure Google lost, but your claim that Google abused patents isn't backed up here, Microsoft was the aggressor and Google lost. Google has every right to believe that other companies are using patents to attack Android - thats exactly what MS did here. Show me a case where Google actively sought out to use their patents to sue someone else and then you have a point.

FWIW, the case in question isn't new, everyone else decided to play ball and pay MS 1% of all revenue except Motorola, which leads to...

2.) The litigation covers a period of time independent of Google. Are you seriously implying Google is the bad actor here when the litigation is over something that happened BEFORE Google acquired moto? Or are you trying to imply every Android manufacturer (Samsung, LG, HTC) are all just shell companies for Google (even though all the other "shell" companies decided to play ball with MS)?

3.) >you should not end up the only company penalized for actually abusing patents.

I guess we are just going to close our eyes and ears over Apple's 1B injunction against samsung over rounded corners?
Does that mean that it is Google and Apple that don't want to implement Amazon Prime on their devices? and not the other way around
Wow, who was the genius that came up with this idea? I was literally just talking about how annoying it is that prime video doesn't work with chromecast. Is breaking my habit of checking amazon first when ordering online really worth propping up prime video?
We had a pretty good discussion here when this was initially announced six months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9343021 Looks like they've had some success!
I think you're thinking of it backwards. Amazon Prime video working on iOS and AppleTV is in Apple's interest because it means however many prime members will use those devices. Apple's content strategy is purely about selling hardware. Apple's not getting into the content business like Amazon and Netflix are (both of them are producing original programming... all Apple's done in that regard is the iTunes music festival in London which seems to be more PR event and technology test than anything else.)

This is why Apple worked with Netflix, HBO, etc to get apps on the Apple TV even before the TVOS was ready.
Safari should blank any page for the Amazon video player to "avoid customer confusion" about what works well with Apple products.
That is definitely something we're considering.

Guessing here, but I suspect Prime Video runs at a thin margin (perhaps at a loss) and is used largely as a gateway for purchasing or renting non-prime video content. Amazon could only sell that content on device by giving Apple a 30% revenue cut, which may be unacceptably high.
They won't even sell Chromecast or Apple TV? Wow. Now I'm sure they'll never support them for Prime Video. I was really looking forward to watching 'The House of Cars' or whatever the Top Gear trio call their new show. I won't buy a Fire TV for just that show though. It is a real pain in the ass that as a paying prime customer since launch I have to rip videos from their service in order to watch them on my TV.
It's Amazon's first leadership principle: http://www.amazon.jobs/principles

I think Amazon is hitting the ceiling of what it can achieve - it's no longer following the system that got it so big and they're having to resort to systems like Amazon Flex to still be able to provide delivery on time.
Inline scoped Ruby methods with Ctags
US credit cards (both chip and non-chip) have PINs they're just used only at ATMs when taking cash advances. The article jdeibele referred to said that if you forced people to use their PINs all the time the rate of cash advance fraud would go up since it would be more likely that a skimmer would have the PIN (since there would be more opportunities to intercept it).
"Google and Apple now both have open SDK's for creating streaming apps for their devices." And with what provisos about selling through those apps? This is not a technical issue. Amazon just doesn't want to give up 30% of GMS (which would be an even higher % of its margins) on digital media.
Perhaps AMZN being a single company that provides a retail store and provides video streaming and provides hardware designs and provides software isn't in the best interest of the public.

Crossing the river with TLA+
The problem is that the internet has muddied what it means to do business in a country. If a Frenchman does a Google search, is that really Google doing business in France? Or even more ridiculously, what if I, who am not French, search for information about a French business or citizen? France seems to think it should have some power in these situations. That's not a reasonable demand.

I sincerely hope Google refuses to bend just to see if France has the balls to try and enforce their dumb laws. Maybe they will set up their own national search engine "froogle" that will refuse to perform searches for 12 hours every week because it's on strike.
That could be. It may depend on how much focus Google and Apple place on marketing this products. If I notice a few things I want aren't on Amazon in a row I would stop looking there first. And if I start searching google or wal-mart.com first instead of Amazon they lose those sales.

I don't think most people will care about this as a negative PR event - but the fact it can't be found may contribute to them not being the first search.
This does kinda feel like Amazon jumping the shark, particularly in light of claimed "customer obsession" and and that "Leaders start with the customer and work backwards." (http://www.amazon.jobs/principles)
You're not even remotely correct. A $20 one will work just fine. Caffeine is dosed in the 100+ mg range to 300 mg for the average person.
