No.
Presumably, the manufacturer owes repair of the defect that they caused, nothing more, nothing less, and neither a broken sticker nor even any other damage is a reason for that liability to go away--possibly unless the repair would be completely pointless given the state of the device. No clue about the details in the US, but that's how that usually should roughly work.
1) My guess would be a lawsuit of some sort.
If that were true, why didn’t they do this kind of authentication right from the start?

There is little upside in screwing over millions of existing customers.
Nor you can today - a completely untrusted computer could fake the logout experience and keep a valid access token.

All signed access token, when logged out or revoked, should be marked so on the server side. Of course the untrusted computer should at the very least send the logout request.

Typically, a service should also let you see all your active sessions and let you revoke them.

In your README.md you have:

I suggest you use a full example.

iPhone 6S on 11.3. I just replaced the rear camera assembly and the front camera+light sensor+earphone assembly with third-party parts (on a moving train, I might brag). Everything works except the auto-brightness setting disappeared. I did Erase Settings and it's
still gone. I'm wondering if:

- I didn't place the light sensor correctly

- I touched it/ruined it

- the part is defective

- Erase All Content & Settings options is absolutely necessary

About 15 years ago my company made a long term investment in hiring software developers from India.

Do you think "very positive personalities" were a plus in this case? Obviously you don't want homicidal sociopaths on the team, but someone whose first thought was "What's the worst possible thing that could happen here?" might have come in handy.
I hate to use the <current year> argument but it's really sad that in 2018 we're still trying to make voluntary sex work illegal when every studies show that it 1) doesn't work and 2) makes everything worse for everyone involved. Also, the fact that the very president is known to have used prostitutes and that Washington politicians are well known to be big customers makes this hypocrisy really infuriating.
Was asked to give an estimate on a project that was offshored and I was amazed at a.) how few commits the developers did over several months b.) how little the person who hired the offshore developers was monitoring them. It's just so trivial to just check progress once a day, I like to commit to a development branch at least every day because I am paranoid about losing progress or experiments that I can reference even if I decide on something better later.

> simply transfers problems from one part of the domain to another.

No, it completely eliminates several huge vulnerability domains. Just because it doesn't solve a different one doesn't make it bad.
to be honest anything with "tracker" in the name gives me the creeps, to begin with.
<edit> fair enough that makes sense. It just felt a little sterile.

I get that some people may appreciate these types of posts, and I appreciate the intention of trying to be helpful, but it seems as if the tone were that of a robot. Little attempt at humor and a very cold tone overall. Is that what it takes to be a billionaire in Silicon Valley? Downvote me to hell but the tone and expressions of the article were far more telling than the actual explicit content itself..
Thanks for clarifying.

Can you share what language darklang uses (or what language it is based off of)? I imagine if it is a language the startup already uses, it would lower the risk of trying it.
I've lost an account on another service this way. They did a forced password reset. To set a new password, you had to go through the forgot password flow, receive the email, and then answer the security questions. You would think that if the passwords were compromised, the (probably plain text) security questions were certainly compromised.
Who are "they" in this story? You are making some vague references here.
So you're saying that you're sure that the problem that people usually attribute to bad strain relief is actually caused by slightly different plastic?
I came from a C# background, not Java, but didn’t find anything supremely confusing about class inheritance in JS. Differences to be sure, but nothing that was groundbreaking.

Debugging I can see as being a reasonable argument - as you step through code you should understand what “proto” means. That’s the most compelling reason I’ve seen thus far...
What is with perpetuating this idea that people have some duty to be responsible for companies' broken security practices? You're unable to prevent their fuckups - so you can only take steps to make sure you don't end up on the hook or otherwise severely impacted due to their negligence.

It's not my job to avoid repeating public information like mother's maiden name, historical addresses, etc.

Nor is it my job to worry about whether a bank will bypass confirming "secret question" strings for anyone stating they're just random letters.

As an non-responsible third party to any possible identity-based fraud, the only thing I see the need/ability to do to protect myself is watch transactions on my accounts (automation helps here, eg OFX), and be prepared to send demand letters/sue the surveillance companies for libel if they start spouting off that "I" opened accounts that I did not.

Feeling any more responsible than this is just helping to continue their negligent/lazy/broken-ass business processes.
There maybe little in the way of special regulations for cryptocurrencies but certainly fraud is still illegal, no matter the specific industry or asset.

I think when people say there are 'no regulations' it communicates an idea that theft, fraud and/or violating contracts are not prosecutable. Maybe that's my own flawed interpretation but I believe that's how it comes across to the average person.
> Pretty smooth process

You wouldn't say that if you'd had to support our users!

At least when we created the system, the method of private key generation differed from browser to browser. Then we had to sign their CSR in our offline PKI system and email them a password-protected PKCS#12 certificate bundle, and send them the password out-of-band. Finally, they had to import the bundle into their browser. It could have been simpler, but "big corporation" :(

That is how these proceedings go at this point (when you posted).

Prepared Statements from the Chairperson, then members of the committee, then the "witness" are read then open questioning is where the "winging it" happens.

That might work or it could backfire. With more build systems and more languages, then you can easily end up in the category that someone needs to know all of them to make meaningful changes. If you have people staying in their own part of the codebase it's easy to imagine significant bitrot occurring over time.

Sorry, I completely disagree.

Sex is one of the last places where women have more power than men. I believe that illegalizing prostitution and other forms of sex acts is a way for a male-dominated world to try to, yet again, limit the power women have in society.

A regulated sex marketplace is going to mean women can be much more picky about who they choose to sleep with, and can do so much more safely. They can use their sexual power to make financial gains for themselves. I believe this is empowering towards women, much more so than trying to erradicate all forms of prostitution.

There will still be illegal activity, but legalizing prostitution will decrease the noise on activity that actually IS bad (children in sex work, forced sex work, etc).

Also, if you already use a VPN I'd say you already don't trust your ISP but you want them to have more power?

My evil genius side tells me that ISPs have already been developing VPN clients and probably own many third party ones through shell corps and obscuring/finagling ownership offshore even. In the last few years some have really taken off and gotten lots of funding and advertising and fit this model, I won't name names but I have my conjecture suspicions on a handfuls of them.

Sketchy or poser VPN clients can say they don't keep logs but they can easily transfer it off to the ISPs which they are now LEGALLY allowed to sell off and share.

Because VPN clients are apps installed on devices (mobile/desktop/tablets etc) they can basically do anything to get that data including scraping destinations and content from unencrypted browsers and apps once the handshake is complete and decrypted.

You are thinking naively or aren't thinking predatory or evil enough to think like ISP bullies yet. ISPs didn't bribe and lobby HARD for over a decade removing privacy protections and neutrality of networks just to be blocked by encrypted transmissions.

ISPs have also been very friendly to surveillance overreaches, they probably cut deals for using that data and since there are so few and your gateway it is easy. [1][2].

A lot of people forget small claims courts are an option, lawyers arnt allowed, and judges are pretty sensible. Its a good option for sub $10k USD claims.

Large corps are unlikely to even show up, meaning you win by default.
There are plenty of moral hazards around prostitution, and banning it outright makes all of them worse. It makes the women involved criminals and deprives them of legal protection when they're abused.

The only reason to make prostitution a crime is if you think prostitutes themselves are committing evil. That is 100% a religious position with no rational support.
Not exactly, since individuals could still file small claims suits to get their money back if they don't mind the prospect of giving up the product at issue. I have successfully done this myself under similar circumstances.
About 95% smaller than FLIF I would think.

Ah no. If you listen to the sex workers who are generally WOMEN they advocate for legalizing and regulating sex work. Because they want a safe environment to work in.

By making sex work illegal you are preventing people in the industry from going to the authorities to report all the things you are against. You will never stop prostitution by saying it is illegal, all you are doing is allowing the criminal elements to thrive. If you care about preventing sex trafficking and child prostitution you need the help of people in the industry to ensure organized crime can not operate with a cloak of silence.
