No, but it makes sledgehammer-prevention worth something greater than zero and something less than the cost of sledgehammer repairs.

Bug bounty programs, presumably, prevent unsavory exploits at some point in the future. Having this responsibly disclosed was damaging still, but cost LastPass less money than having it exploited later.

I'm not sure where that falls on your "significance" scale.
Yeah. But even if they both charged the same amount of money, I think they'd just both go out of business, because nobody is going to pay for what either has to offer.
I don't think you'll find a way to seamlessly build native iOS apps from Windows. Visual Studio has a great development environment for iOS apps but the compilation still has to happen on a Mac. It's more difficult for developers, but Apple tightly controls their entire stack.

> You could make hundreds of thousands of US$ from exploiting this

Oh no, not this type of comment again. Infosec people always make fun of HN for this exact type of comment. The total lack of understanding of the economics of bug hunting doesn't stop people from commenting here.

Noone is paying $100k in some imaginary black market for web exploits. I mean have you even considered who buys exploits and what type of attacks they conduct? There isn't an active market looking to noisily grab passwords from a low-grade consumer password manager that no enterprise or governments uses. Your XSS/SQLi are only worth a marginal amount of money to the corporation you're pen testing.

And supply/demand is always what drives prices, not the potential damage (or benefit) you can imagine a particular exploit doing. This is as true for vulnerabilities as it is for some business software or mobile app your create. Just because in a perfect situation it could generate x value for a customer doesn't mean there is either demand or an untapped market for it.

A browser-based iPhone zero-day on the other hand can fetch some money. But even then your grey market for this is tiny and most likely not going to be some criminal overlord paying out $100k in bitcoin to kids on a darknet forum.
Disagreeing with an article is no reason to flag it. Although you aren't disagreeing even, just saying "it sounds like SJW (??) so I don't like it and no one else should".
Most everyone else is working and volunteers are often actually temporary employees, which is another reason little old ladies take the responsibility on. They're living on fixed incomes and a little bit of extra cash is always welcome.
Hello Julsimon, this is Simon from Dashlane's Support team. Thank you for your feedback. We have indeed ran multiple checks on our end and can confirm that we are not vulnerable to this type of issue. The code used for our auto-fill functions is shared on all our platforms and has been audited multiple times.
But if the police want to incentivize you to find cocaine, how hard are you going to look for only $500?

In the sense that "Oh yeah, I just casually stumbled on an enormous exploit of security software" the bounty is a good deal. In the sense that "Should I look for holes in this thing? Is it worth my time?" it's absolutely not unless the person is interested in it academically or for reputation.
Mods, can we get a (1995) on here?
If you post a well-shot picture on Instagram you'll immediately get a bunch of random (but not spam) Likes and maybe a comment or two (I assume people search their interests via hashtag: "#architecture" or "#cars" or etc.). Same with Reddit or Hacker News; post a comment and you'll often get an upvote/reply/comment/banter in return. On Facebook your IRL friends will Like your stuff.

Without a meaningful number of followers, on Twitter you get nothing.

Hashtags eat into your 140 characters, and are mostly used ironically or for singular events/causes, which aren't really appropriate for the majority of tweets. So no one's going to find it via search or hashtag.

There are no communities/topics/forums/subreddits to join. No way to tweet at all the other people who like this one thing.

So to get any kind of notice/interaction with a Tweet of your own you're left to tweeting at someone else, which feels wrong/argumentative/pushy for all the reasons this article laid out. Infinitely more intrusive than a comment reply. Hoping that they either retweet you or reply to you, which gets your tweet those precious views, favorites, and replies enjoyed (and dreaded) by the most average tweet of a well-followed account.

Those metrics (and lack there-of) either lead you to not tweet yourself and only follow [celebrities / internet-celebrities / news] or constantly [reply-to / tweet-at / annoy / troll] those same high-profile accounts. Which is better for Twitter?
Do you have a couple of examples of 'right wing censorship' outside US, let's say in Europe?
When I worked in plants, I remember gangs of battery charging stations that had a crane to swap batteries out on the forklifts. I can't imagine distribution centers not installing something like that for these trucks (eventually). Even if swapping isn't a feature in all electric trucks to start, there's almost certainly going to be some sort of conversion kit to make it possible in the future.

80% trichloroacetic acid is readily available (generally for skin peels and wart removers) and can be used to chemically destroy the nail matrix. If you don't mind not having a toenail on that toe, you could probably do it yourself at home with a bit of prep.

I agree. But I truly wish there was an open forum that wasn't influenced by government actors and with the same reach as Facebook. Maybe if Wikipedia had discussion rooms which were just as fancy and used by just as many people, it could prove vital during such times.
It doesnt matter who whom likes. The reply OP came across in a way that made me assume his main intent could be "troll".

> I have the unpopular belief that you alone are responsible for your actions. There is a modern oppression narrative that has been used to justify systematic racism and sexism while masquerading as egalitarianism.

Personally disagree here:

Our worldview atm is skewed. The system we use to judge our values is the same that created our values.

Imo: If you want to have egalitarianism you need to actively enforce policies to counter our bias until our value system adapts.
> I said that most employers would love to have employees where the salary is not the first (or even top 3) factors in their decision to take a job.

Sure, and most employees would love to have an employer who isn't trying to pay them the minimum possible. The idea that it's a bad sign for employees to try to maximize their salaries while it's okay for employers to try to minimize them is an absurd double-standard.

No, you can sell to the appropriate folks who will effectively launder the legal risk for you. Someone like Hacking Team.
I'm wondering how many ports they are going to remove. Fingers crossed they will keep plain HDMI and not make us go back to Thunderbolt / MiniDisplayPort.

(Oh, and it'd be nice if they did something about the potential for Thunderbolt viruses...)
Yes, exactly. Hence the maniacal focus on "users first" to reach critical mass because if you don't do that you are dead.

Then "money later."
I have the MiBand, and it drops hundreds of times. I had eventually lost it. Sure, it's only $10, but it doesn't make sense to buy anything just because it's cheap.

And I have the earbuds too. Sure another $10, but the sound is very mediocre compare to the stock headphones I got.

I also have one of their TVBox, bought it mainly for my Chinese parents. None of the channels work anymore oversea.

Sure, $10 who cares. But I would rather spend bit more on something that last longer than a manufacturer producing more electronic junk to this already-polluted planet.
> We use various resources (public data, information from VCs) to figure out the base market rate for each position.

So you're basically paying what everyone else is paying (on aggregate) rather than figuring out yourself if SREs and developers are worth to you as a company. This seems like a lazy-ish approach to me and negates most of the positivity that salary transparency has.

I realize though that you're never going to find an approach that satisfies everyone, so maybe this one works well for you (StackOverflow is an awesome site!).

> The same benefits, equipment, remote work, autonomy, opportunities to speak and contribute to open source, etc are the same.

That is tautological, "the same benefits are the same". $11k buys a lot of extra "benefits" in the world.
:::::UPDATE::::: we found a way to get there and will absolutely be making use of all these incredible resources, when we get a job and have free time and money we'll go back and help out too

Wow, this is amazing. Thank you so much for all the information, I'm literally crying right now. Can I ask how you know all this?

After the better part of a year in this situation in Florida, I managed to get a friend to put us up two hours north of NYC, but there was a change of plans and we need to leave by next week. So all those amazing people are slightly out of reach right now but we'll definitively go if we manage to get to NYC, but we can't because there's no-one we can stay with.

The main problem we have right now is Catch-22. We need a job to pay rent for a roof over our heads or buy food. We need a roof and food to apply for jobs. We don't have any more savings left to keep us coasting by, any more family left that can help, or any more friends that can put us up. We managed to stay off the streets up until now but it doesn't seem like an option anymore. No-one wants to put us up, even for the promise of back-paid rent, and no-one wants to give us a job. We're at wits' end, really. We have two college degrees each for christ's sake. If we were in NYC proper we could go in person to do all of those things but we're not. I completely agree with your assessment and will definitively start looking on craigslist. Re: R, doing some programming once in a while between applications keeps me sane, which is absolutely a priority right now. I don't know why I just wrote out all of this, sorry.. thanks for all the advice

How I Tracked Down a Flaky Test
There was an active campaign of misinformation by the FBI to turn Panthers against each other and discredit Party members.

Again, I'm not arguing that's what's going on here
try to take a more balanced view. just as we should not automatically assume that a person making an allegation is not telling the truth, we should also not automatically assume that the person being accused is guilty of the allegations.

by requesting NOT to have a judicial investigation the accusers are effectively saying "we are content to allow for trial by torch-wielding-mob in the court of public opinion and reputation" instead of allowing for a trial by an institution established specifically for impartiality and upholding the rights of both the accusers and the accused.
Umm, so twitter is a private company. Yeah, they can censor whoever they like. Can the NYT censor if they want? YES! Should they, likely not b/c of backlash from people like us. What we have to realize, is that unless there is a non-profit totally open "commons" then there is really no recourse for us. Did Twitter damage us monetarily? Are they even responsible outside of their terms of service? Suspect even that has language that subjects it to change at any time. In short, the idea that "twitter's fucked" is well...stupid. You can say what you want, but you know what...twitter can kick you off at any time. That's just the way it works. Has been that way since the days of BBS and later AOL/Compuserve (and yes, I was kicked out of many of those rooms too).
That's pretty neat. Thank you for taking the time to write all this up.

That said, you can get the same kind of flexibility in Lisp or even Lua, among others, and I'm having a hard time thinking of a use-case where such a thing would come in handy.
Facebook generally has a policy prohibiting the posting of gore. If pictures of dead bodies and/or graphic wounds are being posted, it's no surprise FB would remove it.

Yep. And the news sites should report on Facebook's censorship so its users can make informed decisions on how and why they continue to use it.

> Bush and Cheney were much more progressives than conservatives.

No, they weren't. They were authoritarian conservatives. (In the US, there's often a confusion between "conservative" and "libertarian", and if you confuse those and assume anything that isn't libertarian must be progressive, I can see how you'd make that mistake, but Bush/Cheney is about as far from progressive as you can get.)
From age 0-12, the Gujurati lived in circumstances that were below the bottom 5% of the US, same as basically all Indians: http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/01/31/the-haves-and-t...

Were their ancestors forced into slavery in the USA, then Jim Crow, then systematic segregation and on-going police brutality?

You seem to be suggesting that bad circumstances at time X cause bad behavior/outcomes which then is passed down through the generations.

Lets assume this odd Lamarckian theory were true for a moment (I don't think it is) and explore it's consequences. Wouldn't this provide a specific causal mechanism for hereditary inferiority of various groups, thereby making it more likely that such theories (usually termed "white supremacist", though not by me) are true? Lets consider another group - folks persecuted by the Nazis, and hundreds of other incidents before then. Shouldn't they be underperforming?

(Let me emphasize that I'm a Darwinian, not a Lamarckian. I'm just exploring your theory and illustrating why I think it's false, and why I think you should too. Let me also point out that you made this hypothetical American black, in my comment he was "statistically typical" which would make him white.)

The historical experiment I refer to is the Gujurati diaspora. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gujarati_people#Diaspora

Your last line suggests you are having a strong emotional reaction to the idea I'm attempting to convey, namely that Gujuratis engage in certain behaviors that drive success while other groups don't. (Or perhaps it's the idea of black Lamarckian inferiority that is causing you negative emotions.) Can I ask why that is?

(Tangentially, why Gujus vs Tamils? No compelling reason, Gujus just spring to mind because a good friend of mine - with whom I occasionally discuss issues like this - is Guju. But I believe that a Tamil immigrant would also behave differently and have better outcomes than an American.)
There are a body of accusers who don't want to be targeted or draw out a process. In some circumstances it sounds like Jacob walked a fine line in terms of what is lawful making successful prosecution unlikely.

There should be an unbiased mediation system available to resolve this, but the judicial system is not that. This is a shift in society as we begin to care more about these types of allegations.

Just as these things were often unfairly ignored before they may now be addressed in ways that are potentially unfair to the alleged perpetrator.

It's an evolution of our society away from bias towards the agenda of dominant men. Like it or not, this is the direction we're heading.
Unfortunately comparing European and US salaries is comparing apples to oranges.

Not only there's vacation as other people mention, but most importantly and often ignored : tax rates and retirement.

In those 55k, you also probably have a bigger tax bill, so it would be more fair to compare money that ends up in your pocket.

Retirement: you probably have a national system, with a formula that tells: if you worked X years at salary Y, your retirement income will be Z.
You might also have extra retirement plans if you want to save more.
In the US, retirement pensions is not a thing (except maybe public servants etc?), So you're responsible of saving by yourself. The employer will sometime help (like for every dollar you put in your retirement plan, they'd match 50 cents, up to ~20k per year), and that money you put in the retirement plan is tax free, but the point is that it's money you theoritically should not access until retirement.

With those 2 factors, the money you actually get to use is different, and then the cost of life is different: raising kids in the US until college, would be a different price than a kid in the Netherlands until the end of university.
you're not a judge or a jury. stop acting like one.
Yeah I should've have mentioned in my original comment but obviously there are varying degrees of this. My situation was not something I could ever fix myself, only fix temporarily. The only solution was killing a section of the root with a chemical.
There's more shitty companies than unicorn companies out there, by a landslide.
I think the point is 1) it encourages more people to go the black hat way and 2) $1000 just isn't worth all the time people spend not finding bugs before finding one. So no one is encouraged to look in the first place except maybe the few who find it fun to do in their free time.

Side-note: isn't there a grey market that buys exploits (for sums of ~$100k depending on the exploit) and sells them to government agencies or larger corporations? I think I remember one company charged $500k / year to companies and government agencies who wanted access to their "exploit database". Seems like this is the best route to go with these kinds of exploits since it is completely legal.
A fast (level 3) charger can recharge a 120 mile truck battery in 1-2hrs today and potentially less than an hour in the future.

A Tesla Model X (5000lbs/2500kg) pulling a 5000lbs trailer uses about 700Wh/mi. If you assume 1kWh/mi for a small delivery truck, you'll need a 120KWh battery.

ChaDeMo chargers are ~62.5KW, Tesla Superchargers are ~135KW and future level 3 chargers could go up to 300KW.

We have a lot of nuclear power plants. There hasn't been much new construction, but there hasn't been much decommissioning either. It makes up about 20% of our total electrical generating capacity.

The problem is that turning nuclear reactors into Pu238 requires a lot of extra work and equipment. They produce small amounts, but separating it out is tough. You can make more by irradiating other waste products, but that's not easy either. Apparently some stuff used for making nuclear weapons can be used for this purpose (note that nuclear weapons use Pu239, not 238) and the shortage happened because those facilities were closed.
If you think that is bad, you should reconsider your car. A big truck is 3x more efficient than a Prius. Take a look at the numbers and analysis presented by "Why are cars unable to match the efficiency of the 18 wheeler?"

I am not sure how the findings of this report can reinforce the expectation of fairness in the selection process. The reports points out to evidences of various election fraud tactics (voter suppression, registration tampering, illegal voter purging and fraudulent voting machine tallies) which have been carried out to eventually influence the outcome of the election.

Also, I wonder how can the Democratic party can still be credible in denouncing Republicans efforts to suppress voters the right to vote when employing the exact same tactics during the primaries.

It's not easy to see how the article could "compare modern progressive SJW viewpoints" because it was written in 1995, before that derisive term was invented.

But yes, it is quite possible that discussion here will be tired sloganeering.

To keep that from happening, we have to engage with the piece itself.
No syncing -- you get all the benefits of accessing from the cloud without overloading your local storage. Just a guess.
There is a sort of rating system, in the follower ratio. Each follower represents a "vote" for the value of that person's Twitter stream.

It's not only the number but also the ratio. There are people who have 200,000 followers because they are following 200,000 people. This tells you their tweets are worthless. (And if you're following 200,000 people, you're not reading their tweets.)
This is cool, I like having targeted domain expertise in job search.

I'd say these days it is important to have salary transparency (http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2016/07/salary-transparency/)

The market for hiring good engineers is so competitive that most posts w/o transparency will likely be ignored.
Regardless of your opinion of The Man Himself, the company employees people that are good at things beyond social engineering. I've seen two separate engagements with them (one as a 3rd party and one as technical contact), and both found significant non-trivial vulnerabilities that needed to be patched.
