It's not overkill when a company scans every single file you have in your PC, keeps those logs on its servers, and then eventually can and likely will share that information with others, from law enforcement to MPAA or even advertising companies.

Microsoft has already admitted in its "privacy" policy that it can and will do such thing:

> “We will access, disclose and preserve personal data, including your content (such as the content of your emails, other private communications or files in private folders), --- when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to ---.” [1]

I mean - are you kidding me? Like "whenever we'll feel like it"? That's so reassuring that you respect your customers's privacy, Microsoft...Really solid privacy policy right there.

If you are power cycling your computer, it is not sufficient to shut it down and restart it from the power button.

You must disconnect its power by turning off the PSU or yanking the cable. I suspect a majority of tech people know this but your PSU passively supplies power to a few things on the board, this can be enough for controller errors to persist across a reboot.

I like the idea, especially as "content-length" and "content-type" should indicate the likely size and quality of the image. Given that, even the simplest things become problematic when we're downloading millions or billions of objects.

If a roundtrip to get a response from the server was 100 ms and we used this technique for the 720 million potential images they found from processing Common Crawl, that's 833 days if done sequentially. If you perform 100 requests per second, that's still 8.3 days just spent retrieving the HTTP headers, let alone to then download promising images.
But there is less concrete evidence to support the pirates’ most worrying claims.

less, or just none (e.g. the claim about data being sent from local disk)? In any case this is turning to be far from ideal for MS and makes me wonder if they really didn't see this coming when defaulting to not-so-private defaults: I already know people asking 'I heard this new Windows sends all your data to Microsoft, is that true?' because they picked up something vague about privacy in the local newspaper..

Privacy issues is all about scale. When groups of people can be mapped, it allows for discrimination and prosecution and that thought scares people into submission.

When actively looking I list companies, contacts there, pros/cons, recruiting process.

There's also the fact that for all those hacks, a non-negligeable portion of the people think the victims "had it coming". They feel it's wrong to take lewd pictures of yourself or join a site like Ashley Madison, so those hacks are justice being served.

They don't see the real underlying issue about privacy and informatic data. The day it's something more sensible like medical or financial records being leaked, I hope they'll change their outlook at it.

Basically M$ adoption of this strategy is the death knell for any semblance of privacy on the PC. It's amazing how far we have come to accepting such draconian measures in order to further marketing. There is still time people, come on over to Linux, the privacy here is still fine and will continue to be fine. And if you come over, then all the desktop software makers will port their software to Linux and all the collapse of privacy will be a bad dream. Barring that, every single thought you have you will not be able to record or publish without the surveillance apparatus of your country and the US knowing about it.

This is not some unfounded fear this is pretty much the current reality. Anyone who doesn't agree lives in a Pre-Snowden fictional world.

I hope so. Humans have shown for millenia that they are unable to give in to certain urges. Some things are well worth fighting against, but in today's society strict monogamy doesn't seem to pose a major evolutionary advantage (though I could be wrong).

When Secret came out, I always assumed such a leak would occur, especially since it was linked to Facebook. So I only mostly posted fake secrets to troll people :-D I wonder if a certain level of mixing lies with reality will become the norm online to increase the doubt over information that leaks.
No, it's purely a fashion/trend thing. Only ever seen them at parties and used as a gimmick to create a certain style of photo. Similar happens with vintage or modern photo booths hired for weddings.
Like brc said, the guys who had Porsche wall posters in high school in the 70 and 80's finally got wealthy enough to afford their dream cars. I think something similar happened with the muscle cars. Once the prices started to climb, then other forces also came into play as well but it was the initial yearning for the dream cars of their youth that started it I think.
I actually find that it is the more uneducated people that think this way - that the hacks are justice being served. The majority of posts that I see on HN and Reddit (and even with my IRL peers) seem to take on a more informatic stance.

I absolutely agree, but I don't see why Android users would be a minority -- I don't know the latest numbers but I guess there are more Android users already than Windows (10) users.

This is an interesting design question - which layer should be backwards compatible and under which significant freedom of design is allowed.

I'm not at all sure that the best answer is "source code". For x86 CPUs the compatible layer has been the ISA and that has turned out pretty damn well, suggesting that source compatibility is not the only and may not be the most effective choice.

Particularly if the source is C, which is rather ambiguous compared to most machine languages.

> official EOL from Adobe with an upgrade path (most likely to html5)

Flash-the-authoring-tool has been able to publish HTML for some years now, and an EOL from Adobe wouldn't mean anything (there haven't been any new features for SWF authoring in years anyway, so killing the tool now would basically just mean killing the HTML-authoring part).

The fact that some devs still make Flash content has little to do with Adobe, and everything to do with the fact that some clients (like ad networks) still want SWFs for various reasons.

Although this article is not about product development, I am reminded of how I described a product I was working on to a friend. My goal was to have the user experience be very simple and intuitive and yet what we did with the data on the back-end be so complex and unexpectedly good that the experience would feel kind of "magical."

I was hoping to invoke a certain sense of wonder "how do they do that" even while they enjoyed and used the practical outcome.

There's an easy way to do that: when the browser makes a request to some web site, the server serving it will detect the browser's user agent (which the browser sends with the request to the server) and will check the operating system specified. If it's Windows 10 - don't fulfill the request.

Here's a random example of user agent detection http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6163350/server-side-brows...
One thing that struck me about this is that all the messages from people worried their data are from men. Troy even states that explicitly: "very close to 100% of the emails I got were about men having accounts on the site".

Why is that? Is it because men are more likely to cheat, or because men are more likely to need the help of online services to do so?

I suspect both are true, but can say with confidence that the latter is definitely true. Women don't need sites to help them cheat; all they have to do is go out and they will be hunted down. As a woman I find this a clear sign of the remaining, quite sinister, gender inequality.

Anyone notice that the media is eating this up? But let me tell you the media also lent its support to this website. I was watching CNBC a few years ago and they had the CEO of Ashley Madison on and had a great time talking about their "brilliant business model", and how great the site was. No one seemed morally repulsed then.

Well I was curious just from a business perspective (and curious how many people would actually go for it). Turns out you could not even peek at the site without giving them your email address. So I did, thinking little of it, and discovered to my surprise that is all it took to create an account. After being thoroughly unimpressed (honestly I don't even recall the site it was so lack luster) I went to delete my account only to discover they wanted $80 to do so. Well, I discovered their brilliant business model.

Far more disgusting than any individual that wound up in this data dump are the heads of this business. How have we come to accept this kind of immoral behavior on the large scale, while blanket condemning all the individuals who fell prey to their game?
