I think you're right. I don't think anything could be more persuasive then delivering on the Model 3 promises and bringing in cash. Relying on, as you say, smoke and mirrors, kind of admits the fact that they're struggling keeping the promise made with the Model 3, so they're changing the topic to a new promise.
This reads more of an advert for Cloudflare (we use it and live it) very little info on HOW they used Cloudflare to solve their problem.

It wouldn't fly. And the data may have been "laundered" intentionally or not - used to send emails, get new customers and social media contacts, etc. It may be hard to even trace anymore.
I'm not sure if anyone has ever claimed that open source is a guaranteed protection against every security bug.

Besides, this wasn't a security bug, was it? It corrupted the filesystem, it didn't give anyone else any undesired access did it?
A brief history of build tools
The article states that this disclosure came out of an board commissioned investigation into the activities of Sullivan’s security team. Do you think that other more serious breaches discovered by this investigation is hidden, or is this more of a general sentiment around how you perceive Uber?
Yeah, if only the three-letter agencies actually cared about cybersecurity. The agencies don't want all devices and servers to have "iPhone-level" security or better -- that much is clear. They're still fighting Apple over it and they try to get them to weaken their security "so law enforcement can get in" whenever it's convenient to them. Cybersecurity compromises be damned.

This is how they think. Their priorities are pretty far removed from "cybersecurity".

They also blew their chance with cybersecurity, when they passed a supposed Cybersecurity Act of 2016, that was meant to stop all of these data breaches from happening. But as all the critics said back then, the law was nothing more than additional surveillance powers given to the NSA and DHS/FBI. They never actually intended to use it to stop any of the data breaches - they just wanted to collect more data on people and add to the big stack of hay, in which they want to find their needle.

What build tools can do for you
@literally: Yes, and with updates they're so slow as to be unusable. Apple also doesn't permit OS downgrades, truly crippling all older iOS devices.
I have never served in the military, but I like to believe I live in a world in which military commanders are often stuck in a position of having to manage a load of testosterone-fueled lads out doing crazy shit that has the potential to be a "diplomatic incident" and are thus, sympathetic to the commanders in other countries that are often stuck dealing with the same type of lads.

So when a French commander calls up an American commander about some crap their lads pulled flying by in an SR-71 the other day, they're able to sort it out like adults, maybe the American commander relays that he will give his lads whatever the military equivalent of a stern talking to is and they'll both have a laugh, maybe make arrangements for a beer and it doesn't escalate into anything for the masses to waste their limited attention bandwidth on.

Now it's entirely possible I don't live in such a world, but to believe otherwise would simply leave me scared shitless in a corner.
It's probably true. Given enough time and people, someone's going to do it. You just gotta look at ancient civs and how they often would independently come up with really complex stuff. Given the spread of knowledge since that time, some discoveries might be easier.

Billions of people over hundreds of years produces lots of opportunities.

> How does this compare to the amount of money each of Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Apple burn every hour?

Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and Apple MAKE money. By the measurements of this article, Microsoft would have made $3-million per hour, every hour the last quarter.

Tesla is losing money, every quarter with exception of 2016 Q3. https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/ihSotBPE7Cv...
It's not controversial for most "other" groups either. Many people who think of themselves as free market conservatives will visit r/conspiracy on Reddit, and a headline about losing net neutrality is on the top of that subreddit's front page also.

I'm grateful for Google's work on Android but iOS or any closed source code being black box is ridiculous.

Reverse engineering and analysis techniques gives us enough ways to look into that so called "black box" and see what's going on.

So if Apple one day ships iOS with privacy intrusion built in, they will be caught.

I prefer to trust the motives, i.e. Apple doing reasonable things and staying away from funny business because they want to sell me iPhones.
Robert E. Lee is still in history books. He may have a few less monuments than he did a few years ago, but then those who read history books rather than just worshipping graven images of historical figures out of context might realize that Lee himself was opposed to such monuments to either side of the Civil War as barriers to national reconciliation and progress.
This isn't the money they "spent" in a quarter.

This is the money they've spent AND the money they've made added together, and THEN divided by last quarter.
But lots of people aren't...

They key part is "Warning: Once you have pushed a commit to GitHub, you should consider any data it contains to be compromised. If you committed a password, change it! If you committed a key, generate a new one."

Removing the secrets from the repository is nice to have, but not that necessary - what is mandatory is to ensure that the compromised secrets are no longer useful, since they aren't secret any more and won't be ever again.
I know Uber has a strong engineering culture, which is why I was so surprised. I think philsnow's assessment that organization-wide required 2FA wasn't available for GitHub Enterprise at the time of the hack is probably correct.
Because they're people too, and trying to survive in this perverse game of "Capitalism".

I value human rights more than I value state or federal "rights". And in this case, there's more than enough resources to go around.

And a second derivative answer - not everyone who came here had a choice.
It's completely legitimate to be unhappy with, and to disagree with, the decision to drop support for XUL add-ons. What I don't appreciate is the incorrect assumption that I, along with everyone else who supported this decision, did so in order to enhance DRM. I supported this decision because the XUL add-on "API" did not cleanly separate interface from implementation, and as a result major upgrades to the Firefox front-end and engine were becoming very difficult to undertake.
Unfortunately we’re already starting to see this.
> Even people without famous achievements have good and bad aspects.

Exactly! Is there a single person who doesn't have good and bad aspects? Nope. The balance isn't the same between everyone, sure, but 'no one is perfect'.
Very true. Rural folks have it worst: monopoly or no access at all. If a company like Sinclair also owned the broadband, only payola TV would work, YouTube access and bandwidth could a tiered add-on, they’d block whichever company didn’t pay the extortion protection money with no means of recourse.

Also, for everyone, billing would become more complexified, obscured to extract more money from consumers and thwart cost calculation and comparing with (the few remaining, if any) competitors.
I am rather disappointed in github for publishing this guide. The portion at the top stating

> Warning: Once you have pushed a commit to GitHub, you should consider any data it contains to be compromised. If you committed a password, change it! If you committed a key, generate a new one.

Is a good argument as to why you shouldn't let users erase this data from history, it's already out there so no matter how painful or convoluted your process is for regenerating auth credentials is, you need to do it if you've published them into your SCM. If the process is painful you might want to simplify it because you'll probably need to do it sometime in the future again... yes even you large corporate workers who have no control over credential regeneration, an arduous process leads to credential sharing between projects which is another horrible thing.

Yeah, this happens a lot here. I mean the cheapest and most effective way for companies to get away.
The issue is that they do run fractional reserves, even if they aren't supposed to. Much like banks of the 1600s.
It wouldn't. But I'd wager that Uber isn't going to be held accountable (or not very accountable) for this, so why not write the rules so that everyone gets to be as cavalier? It'd save a lot of companies the headaches that go along with I.T security.
The difference is that the companies you listed have very high free cash flow. Tesla on the other hand is free cash flow negative. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/freecashflow.asp

And you are "proving the point" that humans are fallible and make mistakes and "open source" never meant, and can't mean, that the code is magically of better quality?
Edit: Thanks for the corrections. I definitely messed up the magnitudes here. Was doing some other calculation on another topic and somehow I mixed them both. Sorry about that. Please disregard this comment as it it way off :(

While "trillions" is definitely inflated and hyperbole, I don't think it's THAT far off.

According to this The Guardian article [0] "At least $881m in drug trafficking money was laundered throughout the bank's accounts."

So 0.88 Tn. Definitely not "trillions" but definitely much more than I would've expected if they said "billions laundered".

Also, it says "at least", which I take it to say that the investigation was not complete so a final number couldn't be calculated and only a "lower" cap is given. Potentially it could still be "trillions" as in e.g. "1.3 trillions" (if that final figure is ever calculated or even published of course). So inflated, yes. Hilarious... not so sure.

Everyone largely agreed it wasn't in anyone's best interest to talk about it publicly though.
The field was set to 0 by a function it was passed to previously.. It didn't do that in older kernel versions so it kept the proper value, so a classical miscommunication (or none at all) between devs.
They're setting up a factory that is planned to produce 5000 cars a week.

It's only produced about 500 Model 3 cars total so far. Total, not per week. The financial press is getting worried.[1] Tesla has very serious production problems. They thought they could bring up a high-volume production line much faster than the big auto companies do. They can't.

Tesla might end up being acquired by some company that knows how to run an auto plant.

Lasseter's crime is apparently hugging people. That's not a "bad actor". This is far beyond witchhunt territory. Damn I'm glad I don't work in Hollywood. The entire industry appears to be disappearing up its own backside.
Would it be possible to counteract net neutrality opposition by writing requirements into software licenses? For example "this program is only licensed to be used on neutral network providers as designated by the EFF"?

While my first intention was to set a high penalty too. After a few minutes I thought there might be an alternative.

How about prohibiting breachers (companies which have had data breaches in the past) to collect data which is not essential for their business for a limited time span?

Something like: Hey you have not secured your customers data? So why do you want to store that data anyway? You want to promote only the relevant products to your customers? So we will give you some time to get your storage security right and therefore, you are not allowed to collect any non essential data for the next two years.

Yes, the essential data is probably the more important one, but at least it would bring companies with low security to store less data for a while.

Just an idea, what do you think?
The hackers wanted access to the code to look for Amazon keys. For them it doesn't matter if they get the code from the internal GitHub or from a developer machine.

It's not about changing things you support, it's just about consistency in your actions.

Taking the child labor thing into account, never being brand new electronics again would pretty much take care of that. One could make an argument that buying used goods is still supporting child labor, but I'd argue it's a sunk cost.

In those other cases, was the offering better than other companies in the area? Was there a compelling reason to choose that company over the others, and yet a majority of applicants still didn't show up to interviews?

You can tell people that their behavior in one area is wrong without failing to respect their achievements in another area, so your statement (as well as manifestly being false; disrespecting Feynman doesn't magically create another equally-talented physicist) is a non-sequitur.

I think you'll find that it varies by the job and your own personal level of "halfassed".

I can do most home maintenance stuff - electrical, most plumbing, fixtures, appliance repair, etc. I pay someone to do drywall work or painting - because I'm pretty picky and I can always see where my work falls short.

I think you'll find for finishing work practice makes perfect and is where professionals shine. You can certainly do professional quality work, but expect a learning curve and to be re-doing sections of projects that don't turn out too well. I know several homeowners who have re-done bathrooms themselves, and only one would I say turned out professional looking in quality. That guy is simply a perfectionist who spent an inordinate amount of time on the project.
It's only been posted twice to HN, today and 15 days ago. Both times by the same person.

He creates many many good movies. Yes, his bad behavior doesn't nullify his achievements. Many famous/talented people are jerks in history, and 99% won't survive under today's moral microscope. The achievements wouldn't cover what they did personally to other people, however, the reverse is also true.
From the article linked below:

A former Pixar employee requesting anonymity says Lasseter's leave of absence statement is "ridiculous" and "trivializing this behavior." The employee adds, "To sum this up as unwanted hugs is belittling and demeaning. If it was just unwanted hugs, he wouldn't be stepping down."

I am baffled by this bizarre logic. Belittling and demeaning who, exactly? And how on earth can you derive guilt from observing punishment? In today's Hollywood culture it is easily believable that the man who built the company could be forced out - even if only temporarily - for simply hugging people. Or is this anonymous person trying to imply Lasseter is actually a horrible rapist and nobody is willing to anonymously say so? Seems deeply unlikely at the moment.

How many successful companies are going to self-destruct by giving in to this sort of collective madness? Lasseter liked hugging people? 15 years ago he put his hand on a woman's knee? What message does it send that vast success for huge numbers of employees counts for nothing when put against people who are offended by this?
The bad PR might hurt more but I would error on the side of caution and say it has little effect. I have talked to drivers and passengers and they are unaware of those things .

And the fine should always be bigger than whatever the company pocketed from the "crime" during that time.

I think it was AT&T or Verizon that got fined the "record" $3 million by the FTC for tracking users' browsing behaviors for like 2 or 3 years.

The FTC should have asked (subpoena I should say) the company for reports on how much money it made per user from that tracking for the whole period, and then charge it a multiples of that.

Did it make $1 billion? Charge it $2 or $3 billion.

And do this sort of stuff across industries with a regular occurrence, so that companies can "expect" such audits, and so they don't just think it's a one in a decade fine that maybe one company in the industry will get.

I think you'll see abusive behavior drastically reduce.

Smoke and mirrors has been their game plan for 10 years.

Without major announcements, they don't get any great PR either.

Though you guys are 100% correct in reality - that's a little too much rationality for pop culture investing.

Personally, I would have announced the Truck - because so many autonomous folks predict that's where the initial disruptions will be and it's a whole other industry.

No, you're still misunderstanding. The comment is only comparing how well secured the data by whoever holds it. The claim is ONLY arguing that Google would secure the data once they have it better than carriers would. It is not arguing that Google is better at "acting as a company who cares about user's data".
