Shouldn’t the hash be salted and useless elsewhere?
Provided that its hashed with salt / diff methods, sure - but how can you be sure?
That's not what salting does, and different hashing methods are irrelevant. The danger of having your hash leaked is that it can be cracked and the plaintext password recovered. The hash itself is entirely useless for logging into other services.

Wagies donating to millionaires is probably the funniest thing i can imagine.
Yeah, it's so absurd it's hilarious. Seeing people make millions of USD for playing games and mentioning others in a live stream made me seriously rethink the value of my own work.
this is a tired old complaint and anybody could say the same about pretty much any job that pays more than their own.
Telling blue collar workers you work in tech usually gets a nearly identical reaction to what you just gave. etc etc.

#204Based. Lot of streamers gonna feel some blowback on this. Not that it should matter but supposedly there’s a bunch that lie to their chat about the income they generate.

#205> An unreleased Steam competitor, codenamed Vapor, from Amazon Game Studios The choosing of the name Vapor is probably no accident when the main competitor is Steam. Just like when IBM launched the "Eclipse foundation" which was arguably based on one of Sun's most prized possessions; Java.
>vapor
>vaporware
I see no issue here

#206>the leak was intended to “foster more disruption and competition in the online video streaming space” because “their community is a disgusting toxic cesspool”. the irony in that it was leaked to 4chan
I have a theory that the more people use words like “toxic” or “cesspool” the more likely they are the ones causing and creating it.
They’re using it “ironically” which at this point is coming off as genuine

Personally, I do it once a month, to avoid donating to a billionaire. YMMV.

It's illegally obtained information, sensitive information, about thousands of individuals and their personal businesses. I don't think its appropriate, and I would hate to be on that list right now.
Isn't this the exact argument search engines have been fighting for years in relation to piracy? The data hasn't been provided, a link to the data has been provided
Sure. Morally what do you think is the right thing to do?

#209This kind of leak looks like an insider's job. What measures should and org take to avoid this? How does big tech deal with secrecy?

Isn't that the basis of the economy with the increasing wealth gap and so on? It's not really materially different to paying Disney millionaires to go watch the latest Marvel movie.
>It's not really materially different to paying Disney millionaires to go watch the latest Marvel movie. I feel like it's substantially different, you are paying Disney the money to watch the movie, you don't really care about the actors or other people who worked on it. On the other hand, twitch users pay for the sake of paying money, it's closer to something like strip clubs.
I feel it's a much healthier model, you're paying the creator directly to create the piece you want to see, and to show it, for free, to others.
