They do. But that's not the question being asked. It is, should a hardware store be able to charge different prices for the same kind of shovel?
That's not been my experience at all. But I'm relatively new to extension maintainership, having only picked up the Firemacs baton earlier this year. No doubt your own experience equips you much better to comment on Mozilla's interaction with extension devs than mine.

Look, I get it, okay? It's a pisser. But throwing this kind of shit around helps nothing and nobody. It just makes life a little worse for everyone in the blast radius. Maybe you're fine with that. More likely you're just mad. I get that. But it's not an excuse.
Programmers are so bad with this, this needs to be a more respected aspect of writing software in general. "Well, I comment everything" isn't enough. If you spent hundreds or thousands of hours on your API, but skimp on the part where you actually look at it from the users' point of view, that's such a colossal waste. You have to multiply the number of future users with the hours wasted on tedious setup hoops and learning confusing naming conventions. I look at the damage bad UX design can do to society, culturally, and I weep. A single bad decision, there, can cause millions of wasted hours.
Last I knew, there were "unbranded" editions of Firefox - editions without the Firefox logo and name - which allowed users to disable the signing requirement. The ESR (extended service release) edition might also allow it.
> Senior FCC officials also provided some more details on the rollback of federal net neutrality rules. For the most part, all consumer protections in the 2015 net neutrality order are being eliminated. That goes beyond the core net neutrality rules that outlaw blocking, throttling, and paid prioritization.

> For example, rules requiring disclosure of hidden fees and data caps will be overturned. The FCC will relinquish its role in evaluating whether ISPs can charge competitors for data cap exemptions and will no longer oversee interconnection disputes that harm Internet service quality. For a longer list of what's being eliminated, check out this previous article from July. As we wrote then, numerous consumer protections rely on the FCC's Title II common carrier authority to regulate broadband providers, and those rules will go away as a consequence of Pai's plan to eliminate the Title II classification.

I'd really love to know how US citizens benefit from not knowing about hidden fees or data caps.

This is straight up tyrrany. The people voiced their opinions overwhelmingly in favor of net neutrality but those comments seem to be ignored and entirely not even asked in other cases.

Someone needs to stop Pai.
I think there’s a lot more software developers at the big tech companies making $400k or more in total comp than you think.
Warning Signs About Another Giant Bitcoin Exchange
Fair enough. The first four words of my post do violate the policy, but the following words, which make up 95% of the content, do add to the discussion and make an important point.
What? Uber acted in an unethical manner? Seriously, is anyone surprised? I kinda hope (but not really) that they get hacked again in June 2018 and play the same trick.. us in the EU will have a party on Uber's corpse over GDPR.
Not any time soon, gotta pay the bills somehow! :P
do you consider $249 free?
Deleting your account at Uber doesn't delete ride info[0]

In a lot of cases companies still leave behind an email stub to prevent users signing up over and over again for signup deals

The only way to ensure your data is safe is to never hand it over in the first place - signup with a fake name, prepaid card, etc.

If we had the will to implement law, this would be laughably easy to solve: A 'checks and balances' approach of [personal criminal liability of the individual] vs [financial liability of the company] would work quite well:

Person(s) act to cover up a data breach -> Individual criminal liability -> A long time in federal PRISON.

A data breach is disclosed -> Massive FINES on the company (up to and including liquidating and shutting the company down), but no personal liability or criminal charges.

So, the only really hard part of this problem is the political will (vs lobbying / powerful people) to implement law at all to address this. Until we start taking privacy and data leaks VERY SERIOUSLY from the perspective of liability, nothing will happen. Sadly, to me this means nothing will happen :(

For me it only works partially and only for a brief time.
Man, I don't know if Uber is evil or if most tech companies are evil and Uber just doesn't drop the kind of money on PR strategery that an evil company need to drop in order to seem normal. But either way, holy cow does that company come off as toxic. They've completely revolutionized the drive-for-hire industry and all anyone ever hears about it what a D-bag their CEO is or how toxic and mysogonist their work environment is or how hard they work to spy on their employees and customers (to the point that the CEO of Apple had to have a Come To Jesus talk with the CEO of Uber) or how their employees feel like they are getting screwed or, now, how they are concealing massive data breaches. It's like how I imagine Uber would be if it was run by Magneto instead of Tony Stark.
I was around during MtGox too. This is nothing like MtGox. The difference is frozen funds. MtGox froze people's money. Bitfinex hasn't. Simple as that.

Sorry about that, meant to say "lectures" not "videos" ... But I mean ... the videos for every pattern is free, so if we're gonna split hairs the title is correct!
I _really_ hope they let braintree handle that and don't touch PANs. If they do store PANs, presumably they'd be audited and hopefully would store them more securely. But hey, I guess you never know and less exposure is always better.
They were redeemed by Bitfinex at full face value.
Uber accounts are frequently sold on underground markets - they're sourced via endpoint malware and shared passwords

You should check over all of your accounts and machines - I doubt it has anything to do with this leak
A friend is an extremely high achiever and has been promoted rapidly in a ~1000 person company based on their work and reputation alone. Recently, as they have had to begin participating in more and more high level functions with directors/executives, unwanted touching has occurred more than once. Despite every effort to physically move away from the situation and send clear signals it continues.

You can bet they are in a position where not only are they uncomfortable saying anything, they are also is absolutely looking to jump ship to a company where this does not occur. I can guarantee you that allowing these people to continue these actions without punishment will certainly hurt the long term success of these organizations.

Anyone with half a brain knows these actions are unacceptable, the problem is those with more than half a brain realized they were able to get away with it previously and chose to continue acting in a way that provides them a sense of power and satisfaction as up to this point they simply could. This is no longer the case and a lot of people who aren't all bad and simply thought they could get away with it will (and should) lose everything for this.
This is absolutely awesome. I barely use Git myself - my use cases have pretty much been https://xkcd.com/1597/ - but the two main features I have needed to use are --depth=1 (to download just recent files) and "just fetch this one file from this one directory".

--depth=1 occasionally breaks repos because of the way Git works. I THINK (don't cite!) that Git stores submodule information in the master repo's history. So when I do a depth=1 clone with something that has submodules, I literally don't receive the metadata about the submodule information. But now the local history I do have is borked, and the only way to really fix it is to rm -rf the destination and start again.

But it's typically directories with submodules that also have massive histories. Like ffmpeg, for example. Yay.

--

Git doesn't have a "just grab me this one file or directory over there" option. It would probably be possible, but would probably be a massive hack to implement without even considering the internal architecture of Git - I don't know how the packfile format works (been meaning to find out one of these days) but it does seem that it shoves multiple files into the same packfile databases.

--

Finally, I am really happy to hear that Fossil-NG is somehow (?!?) going to be able to import Git repositories. I never wanted to learn Git - I've been trucking along like the XKCD above, but somewhere along the way I realized that it just wasn't the superior architecture and was glad I'd never adopted it. At some point I hope to learn Fossil and Mercurial, with Git a begrudging afterthought.

I love how Git is referred to not once but twice as a _legacy_ client xD
Definition of rape culture: a society or environment whose prevailing social attitudes have the effect of normalizing or trivializing sexual assault and abuse.

Seems an appropriate use of the term.
If your ISP decides to do the same thing, where are you gonna go? The vast majority of Americans do not have significant choice when it comes to service providers.
Tell them the truth:

All demographic data every where is vulnerable, because it must be stored as plaintext, because we don't have nation wide unique identifiers.

As someone who worked in Hollywood, you cannot be farther from the truth.

Movies are not produced by aliens. They are done by people like you and I. Similar to people who work at Uber, or Google, or Goldman Sachs. Or at your employer. There isnt a "hollywood" type.
Why was this only worth 100K? How did they verify info was deleted? And how does this show up on an expense report at the end of the year?
Yeah, some kind of card. I think Estonia was issuing something like this.
I didn't imply that people doing inappropriate things should be able to get away with it. Just saying it can be complicated in some cases, though obviously not in others.
Requiring a super-majority might work...until big money finds a way to buy itself a super-majority.

I'd rather not hope and pray that they're able to do this. Plus, I know that in many parts of the country, they won't be interested.
Her pioneering work on these processes led to an understanding of the mechanism responsible for auroras. She found this work wonderful, and her immediate reaction was to tell her brother, who’d first introduced her to these beautiful phenomena all those years before.

But then a second thought crossed her mind. “Richard is pretty smart, and if I tell him about an interesting problem, he’ll find the answer before I do and take all the fun out of it for me.” So Joan decided to strike a deal with him. “I said, Look, I don’t want us to compete, so let’s divide up physics between us. I’ll take auroras and you take the rest of the Universe. And he said OK!”

[...]

In the early 1980s, Joan wasn’t the only Feynman seduced by solar-terrestrial relations. Her brother Richard had kept his original promise to her not to work on auroras. Despite an impressive polymath career in which he applied his genius to a spectacular spectrum of problem-solving across the fields of maths, physics, chemistry, and biology, he had never turned his attention to Joan’s chosen field.

But then he traveled to Alaska, an important centre for aurora studies. On a tour of the facility, the head of the lab pointed out many of the interesting geophysical phenomena that were yet to be explained. “Would you be interested in working on it?” he enquired. Richard responded that he would, but added that he’d have to ask his sister’s permission. Joan remembers that he came back and told her the story. “I’m sorry Richard,” she replied, “but I’m not giving you permission.” Richard duly reported back that his sister had refused to allow him to study auroras!

Word of this story eventually got round, and people would come up to Joan at conferences and ask her if it was true. At one meeting, a colleague from UCLA told the gathering that he wanted “to publicly thank Richard Feynman for not studying aurora, so that we can all have some fun!”

Wait, what? You think government regulation should dictate how I let competitors access my L7 application servers to host their own content in the name of "neutrality"?

I think I must be misunderstanding what you mean. How could a "neutrality" argument possibly apply to my proprietary application stack?
A Rust kernel would likely make this function part of an implementation of the Clone trait, which would lead it to getting the error described above.
That amount of milk would last a couple days if snack is included in tuition. 20-40 glasses of milk, twice a day.

If for some reason you have too many gallons of milk,
you can also use toilet paper, 10 rolls per 5 minutes. You can never have too much toilet paper, some late parents even buy the soft stuff too! lol

A huge fine isn't always the best deterrent and it makes people generally mad at your child care center.

Everyone gets a chuckle out of seeing a dad walk in with three jugs in each hand... It's a light hearted walk of shame and it really works to deter late pickups which is the real goal.
Just to make sure I understand - are you saying that on a properly loaded ship, no more than ten seconds should pass between the deck going out of level and then returning to level? Does it matter if it's rolling side to side, or front to back?
Data Breach Transparency

- At a minimum, their should be a penalty that grows from the time the breach was learned to when they disclose it publicly.
- There should also be penalities for not being transparent about what exact data was leaked for what users.

Social Security Number

- SSN is similar to a password- you want to keep it hidden, and if it leaked, you should change it. However, we can't change it. Perhaps it should be considered more as a password?

User Data Rights

- People should know what personal data companies have on them. A good example of this is Equifax storing peoples home addresses- this could be disclosed. On the other hand, a it is probably fine to exclude other types of data, such as an advertiser storing your zip code- people probably don't care as much.
- Should people have a right to have certain kinds of data (e.g. SSN) removed from websites?

Adoption from USA Nutrition Label

- Is it a good idea to mandate companies disclose the security they use? For example, at one time reddit had their passwords stored as plaintext and they got hacked. Disclosing basic security hygiene (e.g. password storage) somewhere standardized in the website would make it much less outrageous.

Technology Improvement

- Certain technologies enable hackers more than others. SQL seems to enable a lot of hacking. Should we discourage it?

Having 6,7 ISPs where I live using 4 different technologies (broadband, lan, optics and mobile - 4g and WiMAX) means that the moment Netflix starts charging more because of ISP A, I will be moving to ISP B.
the two wrongs in this case are the supposed wrong you did originally, and then the "wrong" of hypocrisy.

I agree with your overall point, though.
Did you try googling "delete apple id"? It's pretty straightforward. Given that, what point are you trying to make?
Please look at least at the rest of the HN front page before taking discussion off topic with complaints about HN.

Better still is to use HN search (it's at the bottom of every page) to see if a topic has been discussed. Most of the time people post such complaints, it has been discussed thoroughly, and they just missed it. Usually more than once.

Whether or not everyone did it in order to enhance DRM, it is still the case that that is one of the end results.

Virtually nobody who works in DRM would agree that the add-ons model has anything to do with the effectiveness of DRM. If you have access to the user account running Firefox, running arbitrary unsigned native code in the Firefox process is trivial.

> Another is that Firefox no longer supports general purpose computing.

XUL add-ons were JavaScript. Web Extensions are JavaScript. You can write whatever Web Extension you want for whatever purpose you want.

For fun I check eBay every year or so. I've seen them on there anything from $50 sometimes, right up to $3600 I think was the highest I've ever seen. Average is around the $1000 usually. I think it depends on whether it is first edition or not, or signed by Brian at an airshow etc.

Also not trying to imply you think they should get away with it. I had a really touchy situation with the person and 2 others, one of which knew what was going on and one who did not, discussing what is and isn't acceptable anymore. Unfortunately it ended with everyone thinking I'm crazy and the actions will continue towards them and they have no recourse to change it. I really hope for all of their sake that they soon realize they do have the power and if they fired everyone who had been treated that way for speaking up there would be no one left based on what I heard from them.
Put a lawyer in charge when your strategy is to defend lawsuits against issues and mitigate the fallout of issues, rather than to, you know, prevent the security issues
"I do not think the government should mandate specific practices; it's too complicated, too fast-changing, and too hard to police."

I disagree.

Breeches are inevitable. "when", not "if". Today, for interop, all demographic data must be stored as plaintext, because we don't have national identifiers.

The only fix is to issue globally unique identifiers. Then we can encrypt demographic data at rest. Greatly mitigating the damage of breeches.

That's why we need a federal level solution.
Welcome to lobbying ver, 2.0.

Again, he spent one day amping himself up so that he could spend one evening play-acting as a misogynist jackass, including throwing this single (offensive but also somewhat jokey sounding) line at a woman after she suggested that he buy her a sandwich so they could eat together at her place, but then took the sandwiches he bought and was about to leave without him. She can’t have been that offended by the line, considering she came back a few hours later and invited him to her room.

The point of the story is that misogynist jackasses can be successful at finding one-night stands a bar but he didn’t enjoy it, so he only ever tried it twice.

Maybe you think that is damning evidence of some inherently irredeemable character flaw, but let he/she who hasn’t ever once spent an evening being an asshole (intentionally for an amateur sociology experiment or otherwise) cast the first stone.

"My grandmother should be able to install a root"

She can, it just yields plants, not apps.

In all seriousness, this was an unintentionally hilarious comment. You can be against walled gardens, but one of best arguments for their existence is because grandmas in general can't be trusted to install root certs.
Security, as far as a corporate entity is concerned, is fundamentally a way to reduce business and legal risk. A lawyer at the top, making those decisions with the input of technologists, seems like it should be reasonable when things are working correctly. This isn't a failure of skillset or knowledge, it's a failure of ethics and leadership. (Which should, to be clear, be punished far more severely than skill-related incompetence.)
