I don't think you understand how the internet works. Some websites only serve static content and don't deal with any sensitive information. Without seeing Cloudflare's data set the…

2. Information that can be actively exploited, but can also be fixed so the previous disclosure is harmless. This means passwords, authentication tokens, etc. I wouldn't call the d…

My biggest issue is that they didn't release their data-set. With something this major, it's standard to either have a third party investigate or publicly release your data so it c…

Cloudflare mentioned they only went through about 2000 leaked responses out of over a million. That combined with random people on hackernews STILL finding private data after the p…

Hey at least mine is an obvious throwaway. And I don't think 17 comments in two months is that bad compared to ten in 5 years

:( My bad.

Tagging along on the top reply here, but does anyone else notice some serious HN gaming going on in this thread? Accounts commenting that have made 10 comments in 5 years, people d…

they only sampled a few thousand leaked responses out of over a million. The margin of error is 2.5% on conclusions because they didn't use enough data, not even close.

Also, a lot of web spiders are not benign. All sorts of bots troll the internet looking specifically for data leaks like publicly visible email addresses and SSN's. I'm sure they'r…

antitrust is all bark with no bite these days. Most industries having 3-4 "competitors" that don't actually compete is the new norm. I wouldn't be amazed if a link is shown between…

So every website that uses cloudflare should ask their users to change all of their passwords, credit card numbers, and SSN's? This leak is being downplayed by webmasters because i…

And 1.2 million people dying is nothing compared to the number of people on the earth. IMO a leak this bad should be enough to sink cloudflare. A provider of SSL was randomly spitt…

In total, between 22 September 2016 and 18 February 2017 we now estimate based on our logs the bug was triggered 1,242,071 times. Wow, so just as bad as we thought. We did not find…

Ouch, this is much more thorough than my attempt to debunk the post.

realistically any hash table bigger than the 32 bit boundary will be well outside any CPU caches and possibly even ram. At these sizes the memory latency will dwarf CPU speed

The author seems mistaken about a couple things relating to hash tables. He doesn't seem aware that, by far, the main reason for using power-of-two hash table sizes is so you can u…

The Iran thing is too bad. Besides our governments not getting along, it's possibly the most advanced, moderate, and educated Muslim majority country in the middle east. Maybe seco…

At this point I think I'm just going to start the blog I always planned but never did :). I've got about 10 pretty long articles buried in my docs folder about marketing and a bunc…

We were bootstrapped :) . Old school company that had been around for 20+ years, just needed a kick in the pants since advertising/marketing has changed immensely since the dawn of…

1) Remade website to be more professional looking, faster, more focused towards SEO, mobile friendly. I could write many pages on this :) but following online guides will get you i…

My argument doesn't have anything to do with multiple inheritance. C is the only one I know of that supports multiple inheritance and it's largely considered a historical mistake (…
