They probably put this as a joke, but someone should try sending a report in Klingon ;)
Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2014) on Friday October 03, 2014 @06:02AM (#8404872)
AdPushup Inc. is hiring for JS Experts @ New Delhi, India office. Full time

------------------------------------------------------------

We're a disruptive AdTech company[1]. We're closing an angel round[2]. We're really cool[3].

We're on a hunt for extreme JavaScript Engineers for whom prototypes, closures, promises, MV* are the way of life. This position requires one to work on our unique (soon to be patent-pending) ad delivery and placement engine.

Check out the following link to know more: http://adpu.sh/jsguy-hn

[1] - Who isn't? :) Seriously though, we are actually changing how ad placement & optimization works.

[2] - Not made public yet, but the above link has some of the investors mentioned.

[3] - Well, nothing to back this up. But we're cool. Trust me!

Re:Samsung Galaxy Back-door on Wednesday March 12, 2014 @06:51PM (#7388963)
In my understanding, it needs operator level access to control the modem, or is it also possible to control the model using a MITM like scenario (off the air interception). If the latter is possible, it can become all the worrisome! Any ideas?

I think it's a pretty solid way of establishing "delivery". But Credit Card company supporting BitCoins, that doesn't sound too probable, since easy availability of BTCs could be a threat to Credit Cards.
Re:Taking a second look at free fonts on Wednesday March 12, 2014 @05:34PM (#7388566)
On a quick read, the article doesn't talk about the licensing for the free fonts. Several free fonts I've liked are free for personal projects or websites, but are chargeable for commercial projects - and one should be careful about selecting them.

Secondly, fonts are very easy to pirate. The commerical fonts (eg. TypeKit fonts) can be copied and reused with a bit of HTML+CSS knowledge. Anyone know of a way to enforce the font licenses?

Re:SketchDeck Turns Terrible Slide Decks Into Beautiful Presentations ... on Wednesday March 12, 2014 @05:28PM (#7388524)
Interesting service. I'm thinking about the privacy/security concerns. Many PPTs contain proprietary material that cannot/should not be shared to third parties. NDAs exist, but they're difficult to enforce or sometimes maybe an overkill. How are the founders looking at addressing this problem?

Or something automated with minimal (or none) human intervention is desirable?

Re:Seamlessly Buy with Bitcoin using Zinc on Wednesday March 12, 2014 @05:22PM (#7388491)
I'm still looking for an exchange where I can buy Bitcoins simply with a Credit/Debit Card. I hurriedly read the title as:

Seamlessly Buy Bitcoin using Zinc

Missed the "with"! Anyone else wanting this? Or if it already exists, can someone point me there?

Re:Show HN: I've been making one HTML5 game per week. Here's my 10th game on Wednesday March 12, 2014 @05:18PM (#7388468)
I loved the games. They aren't simply demo projects, but real, interesting & challenging games! Good game play, actually enjoyed them! :)
