Curious if you explored any external tools before building in-house? Looking to do something similar at my company
Don't have access to the full article so I've only read the abstract, but what's the feasibility of deployment here?

Ask HN: What do you write about?

I've set a goal for myself to improve my writing by actually writing everyday. However, I'm not entirely sure what to write about. I'm curious to hear what fellow hacker news readers write about.

Hey Feross, took this class in the fall and loved it! Highly recommended for anyone who wants to get the lay of the land in web security.

Curious how you got the search to work in the fb ad library. My queries seem to just hang there?
Highly recommend the book, "An American Sickness," for reading about tactics like the one described in the article that Big Pharma and other players (e.g. insurers) in the healthcare ecosystem use to extract money out of said ecosystem.

Just wondering, in what ways are you different from Front (I’m not too familiar with the space)?
A big theme in the class was the importance of understanding the real experiences of potential beneficiaries. The specific team in the picture wanted to understand what it was like to be in SEAL training since their project specifically dealt with that problem area.
I'd like to politely disagree. I took the Hacking for Defense class at my school and had a completely different experience from the one you worry about. I think the most important misunderstanding to clear up is that the hacking in the class is not about hacking in the NSA/cybersecurity sense but rather the process of building something. Just like at a hackathon, students aren't all trying to hack the school's wifi etc., this class is about using a different approach to tackling military problems.

I've attached a link to our class website which contains a superset of the problems that my classmates and I tackled throughout the quarter. Hopefully you'll find it informative.

Those are my classmates! I took the Hacking for Defense class with them this past Spring at Stanford. I found that fundamentally the class trains students to apply the iterative, quick-moving, need-based approach to product development often found in startups to military problems that have traditionally had lots of bureaucratic overhead. We were exposed to a ton of different people through our interviews and were constantly asked to create and improve our minimum viable product as we learned more about our problem space. Overall, I would highly recommend the class.

Many of the Bay Area public high schools are very good. Schools like Monta Vista, Lynbrook, Gunn, and Palo Alto high school are top in the state if not the nation.
