Not really. A specialist law firm can give you a risk assessment, give you an overview of all relevant regulations that you need to follow, recommend security firms, connect you to any federal agencies that can help or need to know and all discussed in layman's terms (or at least exec-speak). If your CSO is good, then it's a second opinion. If he or she is not, then it's the only way to get the help you need.
Well, for starters, they're not our customers, they're our client's customers. So I suppose the only thing you're missing is that certain businesses have specific business requirements for address verification?
There's a somewhat loosely standardized set of severity levels in security audits: informational, low, medium, high, critical.

So no high or critical issues were found. That means probably nothing exploitable.
Of course. Stock prices tank, dividends disappear to pay fines and restitution, and the board calls an emergency meeting and sends that half-wit packing amidst a cloud of words like "malus" and "clawback".

It goes entirely without saying that a CEO with a failure of that magnitude in his wake is lucky to get a job managing a pizza joint after this.
It probably depends on exactly what and how complex your “transformation” is. You definitely can do lots of automation with $ git itself in terms of committing, merging, opening PRs on GitHub via $ hub, etc.

Another idea is if you can refactor the common bits into a shared standard library, for instance the design pattern is something like a system with a bunch of plugins, then most of the plugin repos become very tiny. Ideally you’d also have some sort of infrastructure automation around deployment.
I love it. I couldn't help but make fun of it by sharing it and saying it's certain to be success!

And I honestly hope it meets its goal.
Its a rich mans hobby. Just expensive as hell to develop. Art assets cost a small fortune. Anyone remember Kaneva? They are still dropping 20 million a year into it with nothing to show, and that's been over 10 years. Helps to be a billionaire!

In the 80s and early 90s, I also would refuse to give my SSN for non-taxid purposes.

I also was worn down by the system. Employers wouldn’t understand. (HR was horrid.). Buying a house was more difficult. Medical provider relationships were more complicated.

Cheers to you.
Do you or anyone similarly have any suggestions or recommendations about NetBSD or OpenBSD? With Linux, the decision to choose Debian and CentOS has been easy for me. Ubuntu is very popular and Debian is at the top of the lineage tree. Similarly, RHEL or CentOS is very popular in the industry where RHEL is at the top of the lineage tree and CentOS is just the rebranded RHEL made available for free.

But with BSD, inspite of being very interested in it, I have not been able to pick one due to analysis paralysis. If I have enough time only to spend time with one of the BSDs, what possible criteria should I use to evaluate them against one another and pick one?
The CEO may blame a lone underling, and congress may blame a lone CEO, but congress shares in the overall blame. Regulation and stiffer penalties are needed to balance incentives so that corporations are motivated to invest in security. As things stand, executives seem to rationalize skimping on security as a smart business decision.
According to the article, they've dropped the 4 patent infringement claims. Further, from the coverage recently, it looks like they are having trouble showing that their IP was used inside Uber. They have a slam-dunk case against Levandowski, but he's not a defendant.

Ask HN: What would it take to recreate react-native?
React is now under MIT, but react-native is still BSD + patent grant. How long do you think it would take to redo it under MIT?
Culture of the the company, not this one guy, is to blame.
You could have something great here, but I don't really know as I'm not looking for a "conversational interface".

It looks like you've gone the 'build it and they will come" route, which rarely works.

What I would do is think about who your perfect user is. What sort of company? Or user.

Then go and find them, talk to them, and see about getting your first implementation up.

Try to find 10 customers as beta users.

You're broke and your visa is almost up, so you're going to need to act fast. But if you can find a customer that will pay you an implementation fee, you could get on your feet fairly quickly.
Depends on what it is. For the data they sell to marketers, you couldn't trust it to begin with. Try asking them (or frankly any other player in the space) about their data accuracy and they'll send you a white paper full of more bullshit than you've ever seen in one place. As for the credit history data, who knows...
I wouldn't be surprised. That entire industry is shady. Songkick is trying to sort out the mess.
C++ RTTI is only for class objects, and only useful when they are manipulated by pointer or reference. I believe I covered that sort of thing with my statement, "Some static languages support OOP, and so stuff some minimal type info into objects for dispatch.". It's a gadget which provides an alternative to the structure of doing everything via virtual functions on a base class reference.
I know that SS is not a national ID, but it effectively is.
But its an ID with no password, someone thought this was a good idea?
> Why such a sweet deal? Obviously it’s no easy task running a major corporation, so a commensurately meaty paycheck is to be expected.

Statements like this really grate on me. Corporations large enough to afford seven-figure annual salaries already have dozens, if not hundreds of great, capable employees that could do at least as good a job as these guys for 100th of the cost.

The obscene salaries are purely the result of collusion.
If you really think your security is dependent on the practices of one person, then that is the problem.
My favorite is one site I encountered that let you create and login with such an email address, but the forgot password form couldn’t handle it and would 500.
The line between OLTP and OLAP is getting more and more blurred. There are new databases that sit in between, so I think letting those categories go away is a good idea.
This isn’t the most helpful answer but I’ve heard similarly to the sibling comment that most of the search for these roles happens through backchannels. There’s discussion around related topics in the app Blind.
It can be done using Adobe After Effects and the Bodymovin plugin.

>The Cagots were not an ethnic group, nor a religious group. They spoke the same language as the people in an area and generally kept the same religion as well. Their only distinguishing feature was their descent from families identified as Cagots.

Yet, now despite a history of abuse and segregation, descendants of the Cagots are now just seen as "privileged whites" who need to apologise for historical slights against ethnic groups their ancestors never met.
I would be very interested in doing this. Unfortunately I just checked their pay scales and... well, they’re pretty bad. Which to be honest surprises me because I’ve followed some of what USDS/18F do and they have talented folks.
That’s definitely possible, but would be pretty devestating too. That would probably only be employed if the judge believed that the evidence was being withheld, not destroyed. If magically evidence of said destruction ever came to light however? Prison.

This was clearly a failure on the CSO’s part, for which the CEO should take responsibility (after all, he hired her).

One thing I don’t get, though. How did the CSO get hired? It seems obvious that she had no qualifications or skills whatsoever for the job. How do I get a seven-figure gig like that? (I’m kind of serious — how do these positions get filled by people who are so fundamentally incompetent, when many, many individuals could do a better job?)
Halting in a defined manner vs. continuing computation while undefined conditions prevail are fundamentally different outcomes. This is indeed a difference.
Yeah I learned a bit some years ago. I used books and some online materials available from a professor at NC State University (not sure if those are still online).

It's a tough language to learn on your own, in part because the syntax is so flexible. You can essentially form a sentence with all the words in the wrong order and someone would still more or less understand what you're saying. Of course, formal Hindi does have "rules" but they aren't consistent across the materials I found.

Another issue is formal vs conversational Hindi. The materials all teach on formal Hindi, which is good, but on the other hand you'll sound awfully stuffy speaking formally to someone who's accustomed to, say, bastardized Mumbai Hindi (which itself is kind of an amalgamation of 3 or 4 languages).

The books don't teach you much that's very useful. I remember in one book I got, one of the first things it taught was how to ask someone how many siblings they had...

The NCSU materials were very "throw you in the water and try to swim."

Frankly I'd just go with Rosetta stone or find a tutor.
The kits cost $13.
What's the best way to a) structure the credit system so this doesn't happen and b) incentives to ensure compliance with that structure?

I suspect most people here find the CEO's explanation lacking (and most people who read the NYT, hence the headline): it's no use venting here.

I'm more curious about how to move forward, but I'm not a security expert. Let's assume credit bureaus are here to stay: we, as a society, have decided to lower the price of loans by reducing risk for lenders via easily available credit histories (with all the benefits and drawbacks).

How have some companies and agencies have managed to keep data secure, and how can we encourage other companies and agencies to do so, via carrot and/or stick?
Peace prize is not treated seriously, not by audience not even by itself. It is political stunt nowadays.
You are misrepresenting what is being said. If you don't agree, it's because you are either 1) biased or 2) ignorant and you should investigate the matter more.

That seems like a pretty good rule of thumb.
I have personally spoken to a Democratic voter who told me about committing voter fraud. It does happen.

Of course, because there is no voter ID there is no accurate way to measure voter fraud. Because there is no way to measure it, it can be truthfully claimed that there is no evidence that it is significant. Because there is no evidence that voter fraud is significant, there is no need to introduce voter ID.
That's fundamentally a big part of the point: you never directly handle any payment info, which frees you from most of the tremendous liability and security concerns that come with directly handling payment info.

Can't express enough how much I love stripe's design. It's so inspiring. After working in a SAAS company for 3 years, I learned how difficult it is to fight for a good design with engineers, PM and managers. Lots of them don't care or respect about design.

This is from Apple Special Event 2017

(Steve Jobs’ voice) "There’s lots of ways to be as a person. And some people express their deep appreciation in different ways. But one of the ways that I believe people express their appreciation to the rest of humanity is to make something wonderful and put it out. And you never — you never meet the people, you never shake their hands. You never hear their story or tell yours but somehow in the act of making something with a great deal of care and love, something is transmitted there. And it’s a way of expressing to the rest of our species our deep appreciation. So we need to be true to who we are and remember what’s really important to us. That’s what’s going to keep Apple, Apple, as if we keep us, us. "

The design of stripe is definitely a good example of this statement.

Nope. I'm prety sure that's completely intentional, both for security reasons and for branding reasons (e.g. anybody using a Stripe form knows that the website they're on can't actually see their payment info).

> So the leader has to go because employees can't separate work life from home life?

Yeah, and bad companies. But a leader has to lead. And it wasn't just employees having issues. The CEO is the face of the company, and if they can't lead either employees nor can they effectively be the face of the company, they have to go.

> Yes, because his opinion on gay marriage is irrelevant to his work as a CEO, just as my activities on the weekend should have no bearing on my job.

Your activities don't involve being a leader or being the face of the company. If you can't do that, you can't do your job as CEO. This happens all the time. See Equifax as the latest example. The CEO wasn't personally responsible for the security issue. But he was the leader, and his priorities sets the companies priorities. He leads, and his failure in leadership is what fundamentally failed the company.

If you think a CEO and a junior level employee have the same responsibilities and are graded on the same metrics, you are sorely mistaken.

That's already true, it's just ignored and not enforced.

> My disagreement is with killing people. I particularly have a problem with killing people who do not wish to die by withholding care because they're no longer useful, too expensive, etc. This is the institutional murder that I'd like to avoid.

> I particularly have a problem with killing people who do not wish to die by withholding care because they're no longer useful, too expensive, etc.

Me too (and I hope I made that clear in my previous comment).

> I'd prefer to err on the side of caution rather than make blanket "right to die" laws. Right to die laws a) expand like all laws do, and b) get misapplied in tragic ways.

They seem to work out pretty well in places like Switzerland.

> I am therefore assuming you are a very dangerous, if well-meaning, person.

In the context of an informal online discussion, I don't see the point in agonizing over the exact wording; I feel that my intent was clear enough in the context of the thread. If someone is of a sound mind, and wishes to end their life through euthanasia, they have the right to do it.

I don't see the "euthanasia" part itself as the "thorny" bit. The details of determining the individual's mental state (i.e. the method of testing their sanity), documenting that, and preventing abuse of the law. But that's the nature of the law; provide protection for citizen's rights, and preventing abuse of those rights.

> I am therefore assuming you are a very dangerous, if well-meaning, person.

I think you're reading too much into a couple sentences typed during my coffee break.
This comment breaks the HN guidelines by taking the thread further on a generic ideological tangent. That leads to informational heat death. Please don't do that.

Is there actually any agreement among scientists that there is a causal relationship between fast food consumption and obesity? I mean at an epidemiological level -- obviously if I eat ten Whoppers a day, I'm going to have a problem.

My favorite recent hypothesis for the obesity epidemic is the increase in snacking [1]. It seems very easy to believe that highly preserved snacks are becoming more available in these countries at the same time as fast food does.

Yeah, this is lack of empathy (and understanding of the reasons behind obesity).
Interesting stuff, though I could have sworn I'd seen something similar before, to do with the waste draining being one of the reasons we need sleep (i.e. the body needs time to drain the accumulated waste products).

Anecdotally, whenever I've had that droopy-eyelids nodding off sensation, when it passes it has always felt like the tiredness is literally draining from my brain.
How Important Is Visual Design?
Coming from a background of design, I could argue all day about the importance of great design. Whole companies have gained their competitive advantage, not because their product was better, but because their design was (scan.me who sold for 50mil - https://siliconslopes.com/snapchat-buys-scan-me-for-50-million-a6d89221c2e6) . Design adds credibility and creates joy when using a product. I believe that companies who care about the design of their products, website, marketing materials, etc are taken more seriously and stand out among competitors - YET - I have seen over and over again the ugliest sites be massively popular and effective (reddit, hackernews) internet marketing funnels with design that would give any designer a conniption - yet they are highly profitable and convert like crazy. So my question is - How important is design, really? Curious to know how you feel.
I agree that there's not much new in Mozilla being more left-wing than right-wing, even open-source is practically software communism, but man this dead-beat horse of Eich, again, and still not telling the whole story as it happened, just because you want to push your political agenda.

The witchhunt on Eich was primarily by the media, that of course had found the most exciting story in the tech industry in a long time.

And as far as we know, Eich stepped back by himself. Maybe he was pressured to do that, but until you can find evidence for that, you're being dishonest, if you tell the story different.

And lastly, yes, it was said by Mozilla that they should have reacted earlier, but that was not in the context of throwing Eich out, like you turn it, it was in the context of clearing that situation up, maybe talking to Eich, so that he makes a public statement about it or whatnot, before the public pressure gets big enough for him to step back. Because this story had become public at an earlier date already, Eich just wasn't yet CEO then, so it got much less press coverage.

Ask HN: I'm less productive with TDD. Am I doing it wrong?
Hi guys,

I've been programming for about four years now. I was taught on the job by a friend, and I've always learned to make one small piece before connecting everything

For example, if I need to make a simple 2D game, I put together the rendering function, then a separate function for handling key-events etc.

The gist is that I don't really have a blueprint on paper, it's all in my head, the blueprint comes together when I glue everything together.

I've been taking an introductory programming course and it's been asking me to jot out every function I need, all the variables, and write all the tests before hand before implement the actual code. I've been finding this challenging. I've not found a case where writing tests actually helped with writing the program. For me, it's been a hindering process. Am I doing something wrong here?
You're entirely missing his point; imagine all states implement the exact same system, if that'll work, then it'll work for the nation as a whole, size is irrelevant. Yes, there are other factors at play, but he's addressing the size issue, not the other factors, so your objections are off point.
There seems to be a lot of hype around the Mac. And I don't think there's a 1000USD IdeaPad that would give me 12 hour battery life.
Going where the work is. Actually showing up at an agency and sitting down face to face with people that could use help buys a lot of credibility, especially in the public sector.
Its even worse as freezing is useless as all of the info you need to lift the freeze is the same that was lost in the hack, provided you don't mind forging a few documents (see 0) and using the mail.
