I'm personally more upset about their continued incompetence in their response to the breach, than about the breach itself. I'm sorry I can't write more right now...

First they suppressed valuable information in the form of interviews with their CISO that were public until September 10, when they came down for some reason.

Then they started tweeting out links to a phishing site that looked just like their own "equifaxsecurity2017" site. About this time, the CIO and CISO were removed from the picture entirely.

A few days later, each of these gaffes became known. Meanwhile they had delayed long past the timeline outlined in legal requirements for their reporting of the breach. Where are the Congressional interviews with their executive directorship?

Not on the calendar yet, why don't we schedule it for next February 30th. First of never. I'm just as incensed about the (seeming lack of) response of law enforcement, which admittedly I don't personally have much visibility into, but seems inadequate.

At a minimum I would argue that Equifax needs a "time-out." Ideally they would not be handling the response to this situation at all. They should go on the hook to pay someone competent to handle the response.
Right, with thorough documentation, a large deployment of users/testers, and a good bit of power, the largest downside to using a Gameboy as the soul of your product is price.

I guess this means price point was not a concern of this product
Remote code execution in Apache Tomcat 7.0
You're right, String has three fields. It's Array that's just a single reference. Is the overhead of passing three fields as a parameter so high that passing a reference is faster? Pointer chasing isn't free either, after all. I can certainly imagine scenarios where that sort of microoptimization pays off, but it seems like it would be rare.

As far as large structures go, I'm thinking "large" like hundreds of fields. Any time I've seen people concerned about large structures, they misunderstand the value-typedness of things like String and Array and are worried about the contents of those things, which isn't really part of the size of the struct itself. But that's just what I've seen.
That's funny I liked the second act much better. I found the study of human nature in the first act too depressing.
While getting payroll correct is definitely complex, not paying people at all is an unforgivable and inexplicable failure mode.
It wouldn't surprise me if this is what happened. Even in medical device development it's not unusual to start out using some piece of hardware "until the real thing is available" and then get so far down the line that when the "real thing" is actually available, it makes more sense to continue with what you started with.

The entire instrument has to be validated anyway, so whether you use a GBA for its display or purchase a standard display isn't really a big deal. If it's price comparable and you can manage the supply chain, go for it. I can see Manufacturing complaining, but that's about it.
I mean, maybe I'm alone here, but I find it a little upsetting we can't have country-specific variants of Chinese characters because it'd take up too much code space, but we can have a gazillion emoji.

And at the same time the shoulders of the highways in the Bay Area (280 and 101) are literred with trash, the roads in San Francisco have so many potholes that you need an SUV to drive on them, and South of Market you need to be very careful not to step on piles of used syringes that are seeping off homeless encampments.

There was a case of somebody suing McDonalds with the claims "that the combined effect of McDonald's various promotional representations ... was to create the false impression that its food products were nutritionally beneficial and part of a healthy lifestyle if consumed daily" and "that its use of certain additives and the manner of its food processing rendered certain of its foods substantially less healthy than represented" ( http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-2nd-circuit/1181336.html ). The suit was dismissed because the lawyers who wrote the complaint didn't claim that the affected customers actually believed the advertisements.

It happens a lot where people make this jump from autonomous machines to sentient machines. It isn't a small gap. Going from domain learning and genetic algorithms to develop solutions for a hardcoded task to sapience is a huge leap.

It won't be accidental, or at least come out of nowhere. We should be able to see it coming even if it will come out of evolving algorithms. There will absolutely be intent in constructing intelligent artificial life.

I'll take a stab at guessing. I think in order for merchants to be paid in BTC or other crypto, it needs to be instantly converted to cash. Why? Because the value of BTC can swing wildly and retailers can't afford that risk when their margins are low. Also, BTC transactions can take 20 minutes to an hour to confirm sometimes, so that matters too at some level.

I think something like Tether, which pegs its value to the USD, might be a better approach for crypto-based e-commerce. BTC can more easily be converted to Tether, so it would probably work better for everyone involved.

It's just not as well-known yet.

>Thats upto the business to decide, not you. You choose to not get credit from them if you have objections to how they run their business.

Regardless of what the business decides, no, Equifax is not required to assess my credit. If the business decides to go to McDonald's to get lunch while they are doing this process, that's not required regardless of what the business decides. It may be nice for them, it may make their process easier, but it's not /required/.
Using this title as my new tinder bio
you need only one reason to use app - your contacts there

if I will find only one my contact on Wire, it can be amazing as much they want, but it's useless, reason why I switched today from Hangouts to Facebook Whatsapp as my secondary messenger (primary is Signal), which I really don't like (especially bloated UI with 2 unnecessary tabs out of 4), but there is not really any other option, since nobody use Allo, Skype has horrible UI, and very few people use Telegram or Viber

telegram, wire or signal are fine for people working in IT, but if you have contacts outside your work circle they are pretty much useless

One correction about Redash: Redash is open source and you can host it yourself too, in case you have an issue trusting a 3rd party with your data.

The proxy approach is something I thought about several times, but I am aiming at providing a collaborative tool, where it's easy to share the results and work with others. Depending on a proxy running on a user machine breaks this.

But having said that, I'm sure there are many whose needs Franchise will fit very well. So kudos on launching a great tool! :)

Gulp runs in node, which runs single core so compilation speed will be effected by single core speed. I'm not really that familiar with how "Parallel" msbuild/roselyn is these days in regards to core usage. I'm pretty sure Roselyn/Visual Studio does some very clever stuff when compiling your code. I think it keeps a shadow copy of your on disk files and only recompiles the AST sections it needs too. I remember watching a talk on how Anders reimagined the .net compiler to approach compilation this way. You should probably look at other multi-core workloads you might be doing on the dev machine that would benefit from the increased core count.

I'm not sure why people immediately jump to conclusions that things like this are the result of actions by three letter agencies. I just don't understand why people do that?

On another site, having a similar conversation about this very topic, multiple people jumped in to assert that this was done at the behest of the NSA and that the legal mechanism for doing so was a National Security Letter. No amount of linking was able to convince them that that's not even what an NSL does. Nor would they believe that an NSL contains no such mechanism to force a company to do such.

Worse, it was multiple people who believed this. It wasn't just one isolated individual. Even showing them what an NSL really is made no difference to them. I pointed out what it did have the power to do, and they countered by saying that's what they claimed but that it could secretly do more. I asked for a citation and was told it wasn't out there because it was top secret. They linked to some of the most outlandish stuff, as if Cold War spies were actually proof that the NSL could compel Intel to include the ME and to include exploits in the code just for NSA use.

It went on like that, for a good day and a half of back and forth. I finally gave up trying to help them be sane.

I don't get it. I truly don't understand. These are otherwise bright people, or so they seem. I'm well and truly flabbergasted by this behavior.

Depends on what sort of literature or history floats your boat. I don't recall if I'd had exposure to the term in formal schooling, but certainly ran across it in such as Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Baroque_Cycle), Fullmetal Alchemist (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0421357/), and a variety of historical fiction (most of which it's been well over 15y since I've read, and as such I've long forgotten what it was).
It is normal for a President to own a hotel chain. I didn't realize he's breaking some long-standing rule with that. Just because no previous President happened to own a hotel chain doesn't make it abnormal.

The holiday thing is something to complain over.

But...

Since the original statement of the Secret Service paying for property they make use of has absolutely nothing to do with either of your questions, I believe you are a bit misguided.

It is completely normal for the Secret Service to pay for usage of property and/or services during their duty. It has been in place for some time and payments have been made to numerous persons of both parties for years.
Just add random data so every encrypted has to be brute forced and then you'll see the NSA applying for more Bluffingdales, a bigger budget, and more side channel attacks, like the Intel ME.

> No it's not, few people care about what skin colour the characters in a work of entertainment have, unless it is fundamental to the plot or an aspect of the source material. At very least, they do not care enough to self-segregate and bear separately the cost of producing an entirely different set of works of entertainment which are of competitive quality.

Do you have any evidence to support this ridiculous claim? Two of the largest movies of the year (Get Out and Girls Trip) are predominantly black produced. The issue is getting Hollywood to fund such ventures, not demand for them.

> No untainted mind watches Game of Thrones and thinks "You know, it's weird that this fiction styled after old Europe is full of white people.".

Actually, people do say this. It's a completely fictional universe, and even if it wasn't written into the source material, the show creators could have made an effort to ensure that it wasn't so eurocentric, at least by casting. No such luck. The main representations of people of color that I remember—the sand vipers—were hands down the worst part of the entire show so far. You think people don't notice this shit? What kind of bubble do you live in? People care that they see people who look and talk like them on TV. Everyone else in game of thrones speaks with out of place ethnic accents; way to screw over everyone but the danes and the brits.

Finally, I'd just like to point out that diversity increases the strength of TV shows. If you watch Friends, it's like they were living in this tiny bubble that only existed in NYC coffee shops. Their world is nearly unrecognizable to me despite having lived in the same city about the same age. Had they had any diversity on the show, maybe it would stand the test of time better. Now it just looks dated and white as fuck—way whiter than you'll ever find in NYC.

> I am confident that Apple is not collecting a photo database, but not optimistic that it can't be hacked with fake faces. I dislike the fact that the police can point the phone at someone and have it automatically unlock.

That's what I thought too when the Face ID feature was confirmed (post rumors). It's easier for other people to take one's phone (talking about known people here), point it at the face and unlock it without the owner's consent or interaction. This is not that trivial to do with Touch ID, where one would have to grab the owner's hand and place the finger (or fingers) on the Home button. The odds of being deceived into unlocking one's phone without knowledge or consent seems to be higher here.

From a privacy perspective, I also worry about how governments would use these advances in technology for surveillance (if we believe Apple's claim of fingerprints having an error rate of 1 in 50000 and face recognition having an error rate of 1 in a million).
My university used to use SSN as student identifiers. So you'd walk down the hallways and trash bins would be full of discarded test papers and homework assignments with a nicely printed SSN and full names on all of them.
Yes. We had fertility issues too (so hard to find apps that support that!) and as a mostly-SAHP here I feel out of place in SF and struggle to find resources beyond facebook groups. Resources like Winnie (https://winnie.com/), in fact, which reduces a lot of my stress over taking a baby to a restaurant. I can definitely get on the rage-train about these things not getting funding while Juicero and Theranos throw away $$$$$$$.

I think there's even more that I haven't delved into in my comment that might be a concern. As you point out, yup, experiences and preferences are all over the map. I'm sure these companies did their market research, and all three of the ones I mentioned definitely target pain points for pumpers (comfort, milk amount, and ease-of-use). I'm sure cost will become less of an issue once insurances start partially covering the pumps. Just, who knows if it will work out, it's complex for sure. And I say this as one of the few(er) parents that would not hesitate to drop $1k on a new pump if I could.

Hell, there is even a video making the rounds in my EP groups of someone demonstrating hand-expressing 6 ounces (a lot!) of milk, for underproducers and for people stuck in hurricane-stricken-no-power areas to learn from. Too bad Facebook keeps removing the videos for explicit content. But the half hour of wringing out a boob just to feed your baby... many parents will definitely do whatever it takes!

Your wife is a saint. I am so sick of looking at pumps (all four of my pumps...) and pump parts. I am quitting cold turkey on day 366 of pumping. No pump design for no amount of money will help me with that, hah.

In the Netherlands every citizen has a digid, which is a two factor digital identification mechanism. Almost all government and almost all (semi-)public companies use it. Works like a charm and very secure.
Last I checked, the US Government requires:

* Government Issued IDs -- Most situations. Police Tickets, Court issues, etc. etc. Usually your driver's license. This is effectively a security token, since its illegal to make illegitimate copies of a Government issued ID (although cryptography should be used in future ID efforts IMO)

* Tax PIN number and Last year's tax refund -- Pay taxes and do tax refunds. There's a ton of OTHER information you need to submit with your taxes to get it processed. The SSN is purely the "username" for your taxes, it isn't the "password".

In the free market? People use SSN as a password, because free market doesn't give a care about you or decent security practices. Or at least, Experian doesn't (and they're a free market actor)
