Yes, within a Tor, if you access certain hidden service, you are pulling data from the node that has the corresponding private key. I guess the threat model is when there's some MITM between a user agent and Tor, perhaps via some type of malware. (Because your browser can't tell if you are really accessing hidden service or not.) At this least verifying against certificate coming from a hidden service server would verify that it is coming from the host intended.

One of the comments on the article itself mentioned css being served seemingly from www.homeaglow.com, which was weird to me. So I did some investigating. Looking at the DNS of both flymaids.com and homeaglow.com, they both point to separate IPs (184.168.221.1 and 184.168.221.13 respectively), but have an additional CNAME to http://cleanerconnect.herokuapp.com.

Looking at the error on the heroku page directly, and comparing everything from the license info, help console, website copy, it seems that they are all the same company, operating under different brandings.

The privacy agreements are what really get me though. Looks like they are identical, except the brand names:

http://www.homeaglow.com/privacy

http://www.flymaids.com/privacy

And if you go to http://cleanerconnect.herokuapp.com and inspect the broken icon, you get "https://s3q1w2e3.s3.amazonaws.com/brands/logos/".
Looking at the two sites' logos gets you the same URL, with an actual filename:

https://s3q1w2e3.s3.amazonaws.com/brands/logos/fly_maids.png

https://s3q1w2e3.s3.amazonaws.com/brands/logos/homeaglow.png

And the two domains/common backend makes sense, if it is really just a CNAME you could detect what URL the user hits and plug in a few variables. The different IP addresses on the A record are what confuse me, but I don't know much about DNS configuration.

But yes, it seems that flymaids and homeaglow are the same company. And I don't think it's a stretch that homejoy was among those as well.

> ...we both know it's not true.

I know no such thing. When I want to share a search result or anything else -that doesn't require authentication- with a friend, I copy the URL in the address bar and paste it to them. This is how The Web works.

> ...if this was in a link which was automatically shared... I would agree with you [that this is a bad thing.]

So, it would be acceptable to you if Google put your Google Account login and password in URI-encoded plain text in the URL of your search results? Why or why not?

> Not to mention that making a API call every time you need to do something as basic as backtracking on your search...

1) Google already does exactly what I described when you make a search on *.google.com with a Javascript-enabled browser. It's what lets your back button work with their JS-based page updates. ;-)

2) A person driving his User Agent doesn't use the History API to go to a previous search result. He uses his back button or equivalent key combo.

You need to look at it from a different angle.

The article starts by reporting on a $90 million dollar settlement and a "sea of lawsuits against both Pandora and Sirius XM".

The gist of these lawsuits is that one entity is collecting profits on intellectual property that they have not properly licensed nor made any effort in paying the rights-holders.

Copyright holders are winning these lawsuits because they are able to show a judge that someone else is refusing to acknowledge the commercial rights of the copyright holders and thus they are awarded damages.

Every time that someone is making money either directly or indirectly through copyrighted material they are consistently found liable for damages. There are common law precedents going back many hundreds of years and plenty of statue law that reflect this interpretation of copyright.

One of the roles of copyright systems and regulated public markets for copyright has been to reduce the number of unnecessary lawsuits. Instead of a world where people are using the justice system to properly route payments to authors and publishers, it was decided to introduce a concept of honorarium payments.

These lawsuits are not going to go away. Copyright is baked right in to the constitution of the United States and has been a part of Anglo-American government and legal systems for hundreds of years prior.

The only way to stop the lawsuits in the United States would be with a constitutional amendment that took away congress' right to establish, regulate and enforce a public copyright monopoly.

The current copyright monopoly is pretty far removed from the intentions laid out by the US Constitution, the Copyright Act of 1790 and the Statue of Anne, but the foundations, that authors have a right to a limited monopoly on authored works and thus a right to any of the profits had on putting that property to use, are quite robust from the standpoint of individual rights balance with those of the public good, and most importantly, at creating a functioning commercial marketplace for ideas.
We could always exterminate them again and make them extinct. Would be a very human thing to do.
One CPU cycle per row saves 27 seconds of one CPU's time. That 10 seconds was saved on every CPU in the cluster. So if there were 50 CPUs, that's 500 seconds, or ~20 cycles per record, by the original calculation.

In reality, the change in data type probably optimized disk access more than it did number of CPU cycles. That can often be more of a bottleneck.
The lack of ability to share search results is a conscious decision by Google to make their search engine feel private and personal.

You have your own Google that knows a great deal about you. It's is tailored to you, your location, your life. Google has become an extension of self.

Making search more social by adding simple sharing capability means that you would be less likely to use Google for personal and private search queries.

The reason I don't get it, I think is that I've never cared about stylistic decisions, ever. Why would anyone care, I have no idea.

I can configure my editor for either spaces or tabs. I run npm install when starting with the project anyway, and it will also fetch any devDependencies for me (which means a script such as npm run stylecheck can be made available). The project lead decides the rules. Or there can be no style rules, it doesn't matter - most of those are very superficial and have little to no effect on anything.

I'm not sure the crime rate statistic is relevant in the context of the flood of threats being directed at the event. We're no longer talking about 'random crime' at this point. Also, if there's going to be a threat of violence, I'd prefer that threat not to happen in a state where people have easy access to guns; I understand that many people have trust in crowd-sourced defense (ala a well-armed populace) but I like to think the police and the event security are better choice for that.

Self-driving cars still need a way to pass that specific mountain range. Right now there is the old rail tunnel, the road tunnel and the mountain pass. The latter usually closes in autumn as do many others in the Alps. The road tunnel has a length of 16.9 km and two lanes. All of this creates a huge bottleneck. So unless someone invents a flying car, tunnels will still need to be built in regions like this.

Sure. But unfortunately, here in the US, we have especially bad drivers. And even great drivers can make mistakes or get distracted. I have a virtually untarnished driving record, yet I'd still welcome such added protection. After all, pilots have enjoyed such systems for decades.
Something that sets things up so that the actual domain registrar becomes the only valid issuer of certificates for any given domain.

That would kill the possibility of unrelated entities issuing and obtaining certificates (well, unless you go with a registrar that happens to cheat on you, but at least you can avoid shady registrars and limit that possibility. Also if you registrar is that shady, they could already today switch around your nameservers or WHOIS records if only for a second and simply buy a certificate)

In my experience, life is easier when you admit your mistakes without business speak, and just take the blame (for example: "I" instead of "We"). I've written a lot of mea culpas for mistakes which impacted customers, and the more direct and transparent I was, the better responses I always got.

You made a mistake, you know you made a mistake. Admit it, apologize, and move on. Your excuses or context probably aren't going to help your cause.

No, it's not a "no-brainer." Copying and pasting the URL is, AFAIK, not a common use-case for the majority of browser users. I'm reminded that right now as I type this in Safari, which some time ago made the decision to hide virtually all of the current URL except for the domain name. If you think back a few years farther back, then you remember when URLs and search boxes had different inputs, rather than the omnibox that is now standard feature across the major browsers...which means that the conscious recognition of the URL is even less likely among most users.

Furthermore, the design trend is such that in most consumer-friendly websites, users have been trained/encouraged to share via buttons -- this is something that Google itself explicitly encourages in Google Maps -- again, deemphasizing the fact that URLs are (well, generally) available in the omni-box.

So I think it's a reasonable assumption that users who copy-paste from the omnibox are relatively rare. And those that do do it have something that button-pushers don't: the ability to examine what they've just copied-pasted.

Again, I don't think this is a case of "Oh, but everyone should know better than to blindly do such-and-such", a sentiment that many of us agree is wrongly applied to the hitting "OK" on agreeing to indecipherable TOS screens. But I can see why it's not an obvious design decision given the feature set that Google wants in its search functionality. The more I think about it, the more I think it should be more incumbent upon the user to notice what they of their own volition have decided to send out as text.

How is that different than the expectation required of users who send out screenshots? When I want to screenshot a webpage on my desktop -- even though I intend just to show the webpage, I know not to use the fullscreen-capture option because it will capture lots of metadata, even if the browser page itself is in full screen. Same deal on an iphone, in which screen-capture will leak metadata about you as a user (when the photo was taken and thus, possibly your time zone. And also your carrier) unless you intentionally crop it out before sending. And cropping out photos is very unintuitive on iphones (i.e. it is not easy to do without jumping into a third party application)

You could be right.
In college my friend told me about this gig selling art that I took him up on. We picked up a moving truck from a warehouse and drove it to a city about 20 hours away and set up art sales in hotels. When I asked the owner of the operation where the paintings were from he said Asia.

The paintings themselves appeared to be legitimate paintings. Most were different, but a few were very similar to other paintings packed into the truck. Often an object in the painting was moved slightly. Some even looked like classic paintings, I found one or two variations of Van Gogh's Starry Night, as mentioned in OP's article.

Each one of these paintings sold for about $40-$100, depending on size.

I made decent money for a college kid but I declined a second gig as I was concerned about where these paintings were coming from. I pictured a sweatshop like scenario with painters inhaling fumes while getting paid pennies for each painting. It's good to hear that probably isn't the case, at least according to this article. The paintings were also marketed as being painted by "starving artists" and the whole operation felt a little dishonest.
Ah that makes sense, thanks. I missed the implicit "we're in a class definition" in the original post.
Actually, I'm breaking out the pitchforks. One of the requirements for PCI compliance is that you do NOT hold credit card data for any longer than absolutely required. Given HomeJoy was not doing any more billing of credit cards, these should have been removed from their system.
The thing is, is IBM as a corporate entity unaware of it? I know people who work for IBM who are much smarter than me, and who will always have a high level job as innovators in the IT industry, but they have 0 say in what IBM does, says or wants.
Slight OT, but it took me 4 hours to realize that it's Google who's crawling the URL of pages (mostly cron jobs, or admin sites) that nobody should have never stumble upon.

I'm not sure how this works (the URL I paste and use in Chrome is sent to Google?), but it came back few hours later from an agent called "Google favicon". The IPs in 66.249. range strongly suggest it's a legitimate Google bot.

Why they do it - no idea, but just to be save I blocked all 66.249. and 66.102. traffic across my systems.

EDIT: yes there is robot txt that dissalows all traffic. Google ignores.

This is very internal site - no need to have everyone from 66.249 acessing it.

I would venture that your parent meant that we should use 'dumb' cloud services that just store encrypted data which are then retrieved and de-crypted on the client side.
Do you realize that the post is less about FlyMaids being "unclear" and more about it being completely dishonest, as well as using user data provided to HomeJoy without the permission of those users?

It seems dangerous to me as well, but I should point out that viruses don't typically do that - they are either dangerous or not. They might change how infectious, or which species they target, but it rare to go from harmless to dangerous.

It's also not in their interest to be dangerous, it's better for them to simply be infectious without causing serious illness.

Whoa, I had no idea Bobs game was still around. I figured you had shipped it or abandoned it a long time ago. Y-Combinator is a bad fit for most indie games with a few exceptions, simply because unless you're Minecraft, even if you are very successful you won't have a billion+ dollar exit. Because there are tens or hundreds of thousands of indie games and only one Minecraft the odds aren't very good for investors.

If you're looking for investors Indie Fund (indie-fund.com) is a good option. They'll invest small amounts of money in projects they find interesting for a ~2x return on investment (no equity, etc.) Your game has been in development for a really long time, so you might also want to look into releasing it as an early access game. That might bring in enough money to finish it.
