Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2020) on Monday August 03, 2020 @02:51PM (#24041781)
Ternio | REMOTE | Full-Time

Ternio is responsible for the development of Block Card™, a prepaid crypto debit card accepted anywhere that VISA is accepted. We are uniquely positioned as having been one of the first providers approved in the US. We offer a whitelabel, API based solution for third party partners to directly integrate our underlying technology and platform and provide fiat on and off ramps for the greater crypto community. Our newest product is a full fledged, US based checking account. We'll be international by end of Q4 with other fiat on and off ramps. We're profitable, growing rapidly, and get to tackle interesting problems bridging traditional banking and cryptocurrency.

## ROLES

We're looking for a variety of roles, including:

* Full stack generalists specializing in JavaScript (node.js, express.js, Typescript)

* A lead developer (US based only)

* A senior cloud ops engineering looking to wrangle our sysadmin needs (and have a say in devops procedures)

## STACK

You can find a healthy mix of Ubuntu, AWS, Typescript, express.js, node.js, Laravel, Vue.js, Postgres, Redis, websockets, core nodes, and third party APIs and SDKs.

And here I was thinking this was directly related to the Cardano project.

Isn't the timing of this a bit of a coincidence with the announcement of the new SHA1 collision exploit?
This is of importance because it's core to Stellar's mission: https://www.stellar.org/foundation

The fact it's tied to a Keybase wallet is important because Stellar's path payments functionality was just launched on Keybase. To summarize, you can use Keybase to send someone any asset they'd like using any asset you're holding, all on Stellar's decentralized exchange. It happens transparently behind the scenes to convert assets: https://www.stellar.org/developers/horizon/reference/endpoin...

If it lends any credibility to you, Stellar was initially backed by Stripe in 2014: https://stripe.com/blog/stellar

Sorry, fixed.
For those of you not on Keybase yet, here's the most important piece of information in the post:

"To qualify: you must have a Keybase account registered before this announcement OR if you're new to Keybase, you must connect your Keybase account to a GitHub or HackerNews account that was registered before this announcement. This is to prevent bot signups to Keybase."

The difference is one has a dedicated security team and the other does not.

I'm slightly concerned about routing my traffic through a non-major player in Anycast when I don't control the routing or software. I'd be worried it's quite an easy target for someone to do some DNS hijacking or packet sniffing.

There's a certain level of trust when I use 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8. I'm unwilling to take the risk for this solution. I'm not sure what would help in the trust department to legitimize a solution like this.

I would bet on too much screen time for the whole family; seen it first hand. Parents sitting on their devices all evening and not interacting with their children. It's a missed opportunity for learning, especially at a young age.
Re:Coinbase Debit Card on Friday April 12, 2019 @09:28AM (#19644584)
My two major gripes are that it's first hitting the UK market and it has liquidation fees associated.

I agree with the premise that we shouldn't need to convert to fiat but unfortunately we have to follow the pace of adoption. You could create a POS device tied to a service that accepts crypto-only via chip and pin or magnetic for the business. I'm doubtful many businesses are hearing from their customers that they want crypto only payments, however.

I lead the development of a crypto debit card in the US. If anyone has questions, shoot me a message.

Which ones are touting crypto-friendliness (aside from Cash already having integrated crypto into their own app)?

Probably a good thread to post this in... Anyone have an extraordinary use case for the domain facialrecognition.ai? I'd love to put it to good use.
It's built on Quorom, it is not itself Quorom.

Just a heads up that the YC blog spits out far more data than it should when it errors out. I received a 503 and encountered this:

    Service Temporarily Unavailable

    The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

    Additionally, a 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I'm honestly surprised it's not ridden with ICOs like my Facebook sponsored post feed these days.

Tell HN: The term serverless needs to disappear

Small rant on something that truly annoys me.The term "serverless" needs to go away.You're utilizing servers that someone else is managing. By definition, it's not a server-less architecture. You still point a DNS record at it.There's got to be a better name choice which intermingles the concepts of managed servers, auto scaling, etc.

My theory is that these tunnels are truly being built to support the Hyper Loop. It's only a matter of time before they acquire one of the companies that did all of the R&D work.
Re:Feds searching passenger cell phones at SFO on Thursday May 11, 2017 @01:56PM (#14318100)
Traveling internationally isn't uncommon and is becoming more commonplace with advances in air travel. I'd rather not be subjected to an invasion of privacy while on vacation.
Re:Feds searching passenger cell phones at SFO on Thursday May 11, 2017 @01:31PM (#14317864)
Maybe you don't mind about this specific invasion of privacy, but you should be extremely mindful of setting a precedent for future laws. When does it end? What will they be forcing you to do in the next couple of years? What will our children have to endure?

TLDR: your pricing model change lost a customer.

Used to use your paid version until the new pricing model. I don't use it often enough to warrant paying, so I just setup the old version on my own VPS.
