YouTube isn't a contender, but they could very well be if they wanted it. They're most poised. YouTube just needs to implement some of the gamer-specific features that Twitch has. Namely subscription revenue and broadcaster customization.

Most Twitch broadcasters are already using YouTube heavily as part of their income, just not for streaming. They upload highlights or other videos on their YouTube partnered channel.


What is your very old browser? That bit of information might, you know, help Twitch web developers reading this.


Well, yeah, I already contacted them directly when my browser stopped working with the site and they pretty much said they can't support stone-old browsers. Can't blame them.


When you leave the house you check that your keys are present in your pocket/purse/backpack/etc.

When you leave the car you need to check that your kid is not present.

A simple solution would be to put whatever it is you require at work, such as your wallet/backpack/briefcase, right next to your kid in the backseat. You should check for your wallet/backpack/briefcase before you leave the car, which in turn will have you check the presence of your kid.


How are the owners affording these costs? Sending calls and text messages isn't free obviously.

Or are they selling our information?

From the terms:

We use your personal information to operate, maintain, and improve our sites, products, and services.

That could be interpreted pretty loosely.


I don't really see the point of having 1Password on anything but your phone (unless you don't have a smart phone).

It seems like the most secure way to use it, assuming you've enabled back ups in 1Password to iCloud or DropBox.

Whenever I need a password I just grab my phone and look it up, then type it in. Sure, I have to manually type passwords, and my randomized passwords all have a minimum 18 character length, so it takes a bit longer. It's a plus though, because over time I memorize my passwords through repetition. If you have the program on a desktop and it just copies/pastes your password, you'll never memorize it.


Passwords are a terrible security tool - In many cases they are easier for computers to guess then they are for people to remember.

For me, not-memorizing it is the whole point of 1Password. 1Password lets me generate and store passwords which are MUCH longer/more random than normal people can memorize.

I store them on my PC, and lock/unlock them with a strong master password - They're synced via local network to my phone, and never travel outside my network. Where possible, accounts are additionally secured via 2-factor auth.

This seems like a much better solution than variations on song-lyrics, cat names, 'P4zzw0Rd', which is the 'standard' solution to passwords.

FWIW, passwords are something I'd consider a 'hair on fire' problem. The current solutions are very very broken.


Serious? All my passwords are randomized with their generator. There's an extension for every browser. So any time I need to login to a site I hit Cmd + \ and it auto fills and logs me in. Fuck typing and remembering passwords.


I guess I just don't want to install plug-ins on every browser/computer I use, since I have a lot. Plus work, library, friends' computers, etc. Memorization comes in handy at that point. As for typing, it's not like typing in even a 18+ character password is that slow.


With iCloud sync now, all you need to memorize is your Apple ID password (to install 1Password from the App Store and have it sync from iCloud) and your 1Password password and you can bootstrap your whole password database onto every computer you own. Typing 20-30 character randomized strings is something I try to avoid. What a pain in the ass.


In exchange for not memorizing my passwords, I get different, random passwords for every site I use. Given likely attack vectors, I have seriously upgraded the security of my data. Add to this the syncing and the ease in my workflow, and I'll never, ever go back.

Passwords are terrible. 1Password and related software make having to live with them significantly less terrible.


> While other companies like Square and PayPal have provided businesses with the ability to collect payments with mobile credit card readers, businesses are reliant on the provider’s apps to process those payments. CardFlight provides its clients with card readers, and also gives them an SDK to build payment processing into their own branded apps.

Does Square have any future intent to allow this?


All signs point to no. Square wants to be a prominent brand in the eyes of SMBs and consumers (e.g. Square Register, Square Wallet.) They don't seem interested in offering APIs or other white-label tools that help app developers feature their own brands and experiences. Seems like Cardflight clients can integrate payments into their own app experience, rather than having to push CardFlight's, Square's or anyone else's brand.


JavaServer Pages? That's an interesting choice.. and will probably rule it out for a lot of people. I'm not running Java on my web server, sorry. Interesting that a PostgreSQL product licensed under PostgreSQL is using an Oracle technology. Edit - removed the MySQL reference.


> I'm not running Java on my web server, sorry.

This attitude is interesting to me, because I use Play Framework and Dropwizard quite heavily. What exactly is the objectionability of a JVM versus, say, running PHP-FPM?


Maybe the objection is running the JVM on the server just for this tool?


As opposed to running rails or PHP just for any particular application?


Well yes, personally I wouldn't install Rails or PHP on my servers just to run a database tool.


Ok, but I wonder what you will use for a web-based database administration tool...


Given your apparent hate for the JVM, I guess you only run C web servers?


> JavaServer Pages? That's an interesting choice..

It's a GWT app. Some of the most awesome web tools I've ever used were written in GWT. Far from holding that against it I would see it as a promising sign that's going to be a high quality piece of work.


For what it's worth, TeamPostgreSQL is also a GWT app. Also, GWT apps are not JSP based, they are pure HTML and JS for the client-side.


I don't think anyone thought they were jsp for the client side... but surely they need some form of server technology for the server side -- and jsp would be perfectly usable for that?


JSP allows mixing client-side (HTML) with server-side code. GWT, and most modern frameworks, use regular servlets as the backend, and some (other) type of templating system with better separation.


You don't have to run this on your web or db or any other prod server.

Run it on a separate server or vm and point it at your db server.

Where do you see anything about MySQL?


I think he's just trying to make the Java->Oracle->MySQL connection. I don't see how using Java is in any way a vote of confidence for MySQL though, so the point seems moot.


It's strange how in California hiring is completely absent in all parts but Los Angeles and San Francisco. No San Diego? No Santa Barbara or San Luis Obispo? No Sacramento? Interesting. I knew tech was concentrated in the hubs, but I would have expected a little dissent.


Part of it is the source code. It specifically scans for keywords such as SoMA and associates it with SF. Other countries / states / cities get no such special treatment.

Made me sad as my company in Hong Kong (and all others in Asia) doesn't show up.


To be fair, saying everything on Hacker News is in San Francisco is like walking into San Francisco and saying everything is in San Francisco.


It's a lot easier to relocate to Palo Alto from e.g. Davis than to anywhere in California from, say, St. Louis.


Exactly: the magnetic pole effect. Similar with nightlife. People wbo love the night go to san francisco in droves, leaving the south bay quite tame.


You have to remember this is entirely self-selected. Just because there's probably a number of tech companies in those areas doesn't mean employees there are counting the days down to the first of each month to post here.


I have always been surprised how little startup activity there is in Santa Cruz.


I wish there were more jobs on the Central Coast.


While nothing like the Bay Area and LA, there are quite a few jobs available on the Central Coast. The catch is that they are almost always filled via personal connections rather than job announcements.


Slashdot should be imitating HN or Reddit's design. Liberal usage of whitespace is NOT a good idea for news aggregators. (too slow to scan content)


I'm surprised Reddit doesn't offer a service where you can have your own "clone" of Reddit (similar to how you can pay for a white label Stackoverflow subdomain). Like a SaaS replacement of vBulletin or PHPBB.


They allow you to just start a new subreddit. Or download the source and run your own....


Already exists (though a bit dead) http://www.reddit.com/r/slashdot


the reddit stack is open source (beyond their secret sauce anti-spam stuff) so you can easily run run your own reddit clone already.


It does. You can start your own subreddit, point your own domain at it, and then style it to your liking.

It's not super obvious, but the functionality has actually been there for years.


> similar to how you can pay for a white label Stackoverflow subdomain

[citation needed]


You cannot pay for a white label subdomain. You can however license the engine for internal use only (but pricing makes it only make sense for large institutions).

It looks like at one point, they did used to offer whitelabels:
