It's not related to this particular breach, but given this and Uber's other issues, it's not out of the realm of possibility that at some point they had a more serious breach invol…

It's very common, but there are lots of ways of addressing it.

This is in some ways more despicable than almost everything the Trump administration has passed so far.

Not sure why you're being downvoted for this. Seems like a valid concern for such a system.

Serving a static web page 8-50k times per second and doing some really complex processing 8-50k times per second are worlds apart.

If they don't fork, everyone affected by this will lose all of their ETH. Many would argue the correct thing to do is to not fork and say that people knew the risks beforehand, etc…

As a general trend, I don't think so, but this thread seems to be an anomaly. This is the first HN thread in a while where I felt like I stumbled into a default subreddit or someth…

https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/78aa07/red... That's a pretty funny easter egg.

In terms of user security, that's just not a good idea. Google has likely prevented an absurd number of account compromises (and therefore identity theft, fraud, personal informati…

The key point from the paper [1]: >Decreased depressive symptoms were observed in all 19 patients at 1-week post-treatment and 47% met criteria for response at 5 weeks. Small sampl…

WHOIS history on that domain shows the registration changed hands on November 15, 2016. Before that, it was owned by "Digital River, Inc.": Registrant Name: Digital River, Inc. Reg…

In practice, this isn't really possible, though. The binary is usually going to be slightly different. In theory you could RE the differences and potentially disprove a backdoor, b…

This seems more like a "hack" in the general tech sense than the security sense (even though it's probably technically illegal). I even think it'd be something YC would love to see…

>There are also things like Kaspersky previously volunteering to provide complete source access to the government. Our government declined the offer. How does this make sense? Firs…

What % of ICOs are seemingly legitimate? I see advertisements for ICOs on reddit and other tech websites all the time, and I have yet to find one that doesn't look incredibly shady…

I'd be pretty surprised if an attacker could actually get away with a lot of sensitive, actionable bulk user data from Facebook. DMs would probably be way too big in total, unless …

I'm not too surprised at the 3 billion. I'm just wondering how many of those correspond to real people.

How could a driverless car ever truly be tamperproof, though? At some point we'll just have to accept it as a potential risk.

Technically, yes, but as I understand it, they frown upon it and could potentially terminate your account. See this section of their ToS ( https://www.cloudflare.com/terms/ ): >SEC…

This seems like it has a ton of potential. I'm already thinking of the possibilities for my own Cloudflare-proxied sites. I hope it's not priced too harshly. Hopefully an added mon…

They're stupid if they're just saying something everyone already knows. It'd be like saying "the US government assassinates civilians with unmanned airborne vehicles" or something.…

Or a lot of tribalism?

I never thought I'd see the day where a Buddhist monk in robes is calling for the genocide of "Muslim vermin". (I don't think he literally said "vermin", but that's basically the a…

Yep. People complain about the "adpocalypse" and censorship from YouTube and Facebook, but they're really stuck between a rock and a hard place. That said, I think they should alwa…

I believe they were being sarcastic.
