Seems like it was a bug or glitch, price is now back to $990 and no Black Friday mention.
Re:Show HN: LogoFox – fast logo maker on Wednesday November 22, 2017 @12:27PM (#15758587)
It appears that there's a Black Friday deal right now to get the $900 VIP Package (professionally designed, etc) for $5.80.

Or it's an error.

There's a link in the article to an Android app they created called Skimmer Scanner that does exactly this.

FWIW - I've set ridiculously low buy orders on Bitcoin exchanges and had them filled by flash dumps and I wasn't the one who caused the crash.

Crypto markets are notoriously volatile. This isn't the first nor the last time this will happen.

You just summed up most public defenders.

I hope he gets a real/competent lawyer.

Maybe your server is overloaded or having some other issues - but didn't work at all for me on Android+Chrome. Tried multiple times.

Also tried in Desktop Mode, and received a server error.

Still interested in trying it out, will wait for a bit.

Re:Do you have a TTS API to suggest? on Monday January 12, 2015 @07:04PM (#8877312)
I'm just about to release a TTS API into alpha. Contact me (details in profile) if you're interested in chatting more about it and to try it out.

You don't need a login at all, actually. You can confirm an email if you want, but it's not (currently) required.
Typically I will not delete the record but will set an Inactive or Deleted bit on the record and exclude those from queries, unless the data is sensitive in nature.

I do this after years of experience of users wanting to retrieve deleted data, even years from when the record was originally deleted.

On larger datasets I'll then have a task run at a specified timeframe that will go through and cleanup/delete all of the Inactive records.

Seems the default root password is 'default' or 'password', and is listed in their manuals / documentation.

At the end of day one, possibly day two, of the site being down and losing money, I would have already transferred services and moved on.
Installed, signed up, app crashed. And now it crashes every time on load.

I uninstalled, sorry. Good luck.

How is someone illegally recording a movie a Homeland Security matter?

For posting data, you could check connection status (or $.ajax error callback) and if the client cannot access then store the data locally using localStorage [1]. When the connection becomes available again then post all data from localStorage to the end-point and clear out local store.

Totally understand, and I did open my laptop and check it out. Looks nice!

FYI - The link you posted hangs up on:

"Loading... (or you have javascript disabled)"

Using Chrome / iOS

"Mobile site is not available at this time Please browse the full site on your desktop."

No option to use the desktop/full version via my mobile device? Maybe some information about your offerings that compel users to open their laptops and check it out would be beneficial.

No TOS re-sign here.
Great idea, but aren't there some laws that prohibit recording people without consent?

Would you read / inspect each letter going out? What would stop a bad guy from sending a threatening letter to the President using a fake name and return address? It'd be postmarked outside of their actual city, with no link back to them unless you're logging IPs.
Any examples of what the sites could/would look like, without signing up?
