You work for a bank and you have the keys to the vault. You quit. The bank doesn't immediately change the locks to ensure that their security isn't compromised.

What happens to the keys after that is in my made up example doesn't matter. The bank is at fault because the bank has a responsibility to ensure the security of their operation, irrespective of how ethically or unethically their former employee acts from that point onwards.

A newspaper is an information bank especially in the Internet age.

EDIT: I should have specified "the bank is at fault for the total amount of damage" not that the bank is at fault full stop.
Hey guys, thanks for checking out Pocketsquare. I built this to give devs a better way to showcase their work. For me, my public Github page isn't always the best representation of the stuff I like to work on, and LinkedIn isn't optimized to show dev work.

So, Pocketsquare focuses on just showing your skills, projects (may or may not correspond to a git repo) and code snippets. You can also show work experience or education. I tried to make it simple and straightforward for non-technical visitors yet also visually appealing so it's something you want to show people.

Thanks again and I appreciate any feedback you guys have.

Edit: I didn't have time to put social links on the landing page, so for anyone who wants to stay up to date as I make pocketsquare more awesome, you can follow the Twitter account here: https://twitter.com/getpocketsquare or add your email to this list and I'll let you know when new features roll out: http://bit.ly/1RvGHIn

Thanks!

Of interest:

The following real life scenario below portrays an administrative API layer that runs in EC2, and how it compares to what the raw hardware costs would be in Lambda. It purposefully excludes anything to do with requests (CloudFront+ELB for EC2 and API Gateway for Labmda).

EC2 scenario:
2 c3.large instances, general purpose 15GB SSD (need two for HA, span AZs)
1 Yr All upfront reserved pricing on both instances

Lambda scenario:
1042 memory size
Workload running on EC2:
16000 requests a day to an endpt. 200 ms ave = 3200000 ms total

3200000 / 100 ms = 32000 segments of 100 ms

EC2 Cost:
1084(yr)/365 = $2.96986301369863/day

Lambda Cost:
32000 * 0.000001667 = $0.053344/day

The cost difference is so large because this workload is not a very high EC2 utilization scenario. We need extra servers for multi AZ HA and to handle bursts. Lambda handles both of these for you.

This also does not include the huge costs savings of no server management (security patches etc) that go into EC2 or Docker containers.

Yes, I agree...in fact, Tribune should be secretly thanking Keys...no matter what his actual intent, the incident got them to implement proper security...the $900K they spent they would've had to spend anyway and is a bargain compared to what could've happened.

But "oh the company should've had better security" is a not strong legal defense, in the same way that "the victim shouldn't have been walking alone at might" is not.

edit: just to clarify, I'm being flippant here since most of the main arguments for and against Keys have already been made...but I don't interpret Keys's actions as any kind of "white hat" hacking. According to the evidence, he most certainly tried to get Anonymous to burn the company to the ground, and he and Tribune are very lucky they didn't.

However, I do think it's dishonest for the Tribune to claim $900K in damages when that was the amount used to shore up their security after the breach. But the $17K they spent as incident response seems very reasonable. But to then tack on the $900K so that the maximum possible prison time is more politically palatable helps to perpetuate the worst parts of the CFAA and the justice system.

That would still make currencies far more stable than modern currencies. It's very unlikely that a significant source of gold will be found and even if it will be, it won't be in owner's interest to mine it very quickly.

The price revolutions were literally a one off event and while it's usually described as "rampant", the inflation rate was at most in the range of a few percent and it would be seen as moderate to low today.

but Netscape did the no. 1 mistake and tried to rewrite everything from scratch - I can not think of any working product where it is better to throw everything out and redo everything "the right way", rather than iteratively improving the code.

This emphasizes a restriction technical debt may place on your company if your starting foundation is sufficiently poor. Lotus did a combination of these two fatal mistakes, they had a small team of 7 or so guys write the first version in 8086/8 assembly language, and I'm not sure exactly what happened to that team, but their EMS memory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expanded_memory) mid-life kicker was unauthorized work done by a couple of guys who had left the company by the time Lotus used it in desperation because their complete rewrite of the code in C was failing so badly.

For that matter, their first Macintosh program, Jazz (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_Jazz) was fatally flawed in development. They again wrote it in assembly "for efficiency", but without close communications between team members. Instead, every N days each would bring a floppy disk with their updated code and a merge would be done. This resulted in a lot of duplication of functionality and a bloated binary (hitting the platform where it was at its worst); which among other things resulted in user frustration at having to swap floppy disks all the time as the Wikipedia article mentions.

Apple is a partial counterexample: Jobs rode a small team hard in creating the first rather limited assembly OS, software wise they largely wandered around in the wilderness and failed the complete rewrite (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copland_(operating_system)), then solved their problem by buying NeXT (and, oh, started bringing Jobs back into the fold, one of the very few non-programmers who can manage them), and doing a wholesale replacement with NeXTSTEP.

Not that MS does not do terrible things as a business. They do, exactly as any other business with that size. They have to or they will cease to exist in a few years.

Disagree. Microsoft's terrible things included screwing pretty much everybody who did business with them at the peer level, "You made a mistake, you trusted us," said 3Com founder Bob Metcalfe, quoting an unnamed Microsoft executive." (http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/2002/pulpit_20020620_0007...). You do enough of this and you run out of healthy companies willing to do business with you, and life becomes prohibitively expensive. Which phone carrier is willing to partner with Microsoft after e.g. the Microsoft Kin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Kin and I'm sure other stunts?

I can't think of another company at this level like this. Apple and Oracle, like Microsoft companies built on the vision of a single man, share some characteristics, but Apple hasn't screwed over every supplier, and works well enough with phone carriers. Has Oracle tried to screw over big iron competitors after it bought Sun?
Yeah, one of the most common requests I've gotten is adding more languages/frameworks, and I'm working on getting that out as soon as possible.

Even with a gold standard, you're usually not using gold coins directly (if only because it's hard to make coins for smaller denominations with it), but rather bank notes that are guaranteed to be redeemable for gold (as long as you don't try it out).

Is this just for the cash balance with the exchange or the bitcoin balance as well? I can't imagine it does, but it would be a strong selling point if it did. If its not, its pretty misleading as written.

> FDIC insurance covers all types of deposits received at an insured bank, including deposits in a checking account, negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) account, savings account, money market deposit account (MMDA), time deposit such as a certificate of deposit (CD), or an official item issued by a bank, such as a cashier's check or money order.

> FDIC insurance covers depositors' accounts at each insured bank, dollar-for-dollar, including principal and any accrued interest through the date of the insured bank's closing, up to the insurance limit.The FDIC does not insure money invested in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, life insurance policies, annuities or municipal securities, even if these investments are purchased at an insured bank.

Yes, and in the case of the Tribune company here, it cost them tens of thousands of dollars to "repair" the breach. That's the punishment for their failing of responsibility. It's not like they are suing to recover that money.

But I'm not sure how that absolves the actual criminal here.

Here in the US, we've actually fallen behind in terms of maintaining an environment that's appealing to developers who aren't young, (culturally) white, and male.

Limits to Infering Socio-Cultural and Linguistic Evolution from Google Books
> If you have a central place to plan the economy to distribute via need, that place is going to be heavily concentrated in power.

And this is why there is a left/right split within socialism, where the left wing - anarchists, libertarian socialists, left communists/libertarian communists, and a wide range of people using similar terms - argue for decentralisation and voluntary association as essential to safeguard the success of a socialist revolution.

You will also find that a portion of these ideologies argue for market mechanisms to various extents. There is nothing inherent in socialism that demands central planning. In fact, in most left socialist ideologies there would be no central organ with the power to impose central planning.

Even right wing socialists like the Bolsheviks were ambivalent about centralised planning to begin with, and initially did so out of pressing needs: They imposed strict planning initially during the civil war because a lot of people - the vast majority of who had either voted for other socialist parties (SR and the Mensheviks both did vastly better with the peasants than the Bolsheviks did) or the bourgeois parties in the 1917 elections - didn't exactly go out of their way to help provide resources to the Bolshevik government. But as soon as the threat of the civil war was over, Lenin introduced "New Economic Policy" that liberalised the economy substantially, undid a lot of the centralisation and allowed for a limited market economy. Lenin indicated he believed NEP, or variations, would need to be in place for decades. It was Stalin that led the extreme centralization under the Bolsheviks, after Lenins death.

But in any case: In the case of the Bolsheviks, the abusive concentration of power started with their coup d'etat against the democratically elected socialist government after the Bolshevik losts the preliminary elections in 1917, not with their subsequent changes to the economic system; by then it was far too late.

> You can have evil people as heads of organisations but their power tends to be limited.

And this was a central aspect of the left/libertarian socialist/communist/anarchist groups criticism against groups like the Bolsheviks and theories like Lenins "democratic centralism" and idea of a "vanguard". It's a debate that raged already from the 1850's, and continued as the Bolsheviks and their associates started murdering left communists together with everyone else opposing them.
It seems Cicero successfully traded his art of public speech for influence and than he traded influence for money. This is the only lesson I can see from the article.

That's Nets, which controls the credit card payments in Denmark.

However, it's at best a non-issue, because CC terminals can be put in "offline mode". So you can still pay, but the transactions will first be synchronized when the line is back up. So until that, they're stored on the CC terminal itself.

HOWEVER when running in offline mode, the shops will pay a larger transaction fee. Also there are some risks, e.g. the transactions are lost if something happens to the CC terminal, and furthermore, the shop cannot verify the card (which is automatically done when it's online).

So unfortunately, many shops don't want to enable it..

However, the problem relies in Nets itself. They control the credit card systems in Denmark, have monopoly on "Dankort" which is the danish equivalent to Visa (actually you normally get a Visa/Dankort hybrid so that when you're abroad, you use the Visa-part of the card). Nets also controls NemID, which is the Danish authentication method for public stuff (one-time passwords).

They have been criticized, but IT in Denmark is run by morons (sorry..).
