Playing Devil's advocate (as in, I agree with you, site A should never under any conditions ask people to enter their password for site B):

Lastpass does encourage visitors to that page to change their LNKD pw on LNKD and anywhere else it might be reused. The checker form is placed below that recommendation.

Anyone inclined to enter their (old?) LNKD pw on the Lastpass page would probably enter it on some other "leakedin" password checker page that's less secure. At least Lastpass tries to be trustworthy.

Regarding your point (2), I don't think it matters if the LNKD vulnerability has not been patched. Everyone should still change their LNKD pw, because the compromise might have been temporary. I agree that Lastpass and everyone else encouraging a LNKD password change should emphasize not to reuse passwords, but universally, and not specific to LNKD.
Thousands of items arguably don't belong in a combobox, they should probably be split by letter, country, prefix, etc.
"but in the complex format used by blog/wiki software de jour you will lose it forever"

Exactly. I don't understand why almost all blogging and CMS platforms store data only to database. I think that proper solution for most sites would be to keep DB for maintenance and indexing purposes. For visitors everything would be served from static files.

You must have been using a different framework called "Django" than I did.
I use Gimme Bar and love it. I also use Pinboard.

Pinboard I use for pointers to things - GitHub projects that might come in handy in the future, development/design resources, particularly interesting Wikipedia articles, and other things like interviews and magazine articles.

But there's some stuff that I want to keep. I used to have a `~/box` folder on my Mac where I'd keep pictures, quotes, and screenshots of web pages I really liked. I wanted to keep them locally so that I would always have a copy of them. However, there were problems with this. By just keeping pictures as files, I couldn't always easily find where the picture came from (not without coming up with a complicated naming scheme or moving away from the simplicity of just having files in a folder). I kept quotes in plain text, so attribution was difficult for them, too — I needed to be able to capture quotes quickly, so I didn't have time to also store the URL the quote came from. And screenshots of webpages aren't exactly interactive — if I wanted to look at some HTML to see how something was done on the page, too bad. I also didn't have a pretty way to look at all the things I'd wanted to keep. All I had was a Finder window.

I know that Pinboard's premium service can archive each bookmark I send there (I've been thinking about enabling it just so I have permanent copies of interviews), but archiving an entire page is overkill for when I just want to save one image or one choice sentence from the page. Besides, if I archive the whole page, how can I indicate which image/quote I wanted to save in the first place? Long story short, Pinboard's archiving isn't quite what I want (though, like I said, I've been thinking about switching it on for backing up interviews).

Gimme Bar is basically the best of all those worlds. I can save images, videos, quotes, and site designs. I can easily see where the image/quote/etc. came from. The site gives me a purdy way of looking at them. And integration with Dropbox means I always have a local copy of everything. Gimme Bar lets me have my cake, eat it, and have my cake stored in Dropbox (I may be stretching this metaphor).

Anyway, I really, really like Gimme Bar.

Yeah I should have stuck that in quotes. I was trying to keep the explanation as simple as possible.

You are right of course there is no need to keep hashes about once they have been compared against the db.
What's interesting is that virtually every single number spelled out from "eleven" to "onehundred" is used as a password.

I've also noticed celebrities are really common, such as "parishilton", "michaeljackson", or "jamescameron".

Oh look, you just invented array slices!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_slicing
Obviously the list was filtered to eliminate duplicates. It contains only what the hackers wanted it to contain. So, why does nobody mentions that it is HIGHLY LIKELY that the user names associated with the passwords (which are actually mainly e-mail addresses for LinkedIn) are also in the possession of the hackers.
So, if I would be the hacker - strip usernames, strip duplicate hashes, post list of unique hashes to let others do the CPU intensive cracking, retrieve cracked passwords, match with usernames (e-mail address), check same password on other accounts (first on the e-mail account, then google the e-mail address on forums or try on the services that interests me and say "forgot password, send it again to this e-mail address - thank you telling me that this e-mail has indeed an account with you..."), monetize somehow the data.
As a user that implies - IMMEDIATELY change your password for the e-mail address used to login at LinkedIn (if it was the same password); verify if settings of this e-mail account have changed (like an additional unknown address added to allow retrieval of the password, DUH),
try to remember where you use the same address either as login or to recover credentials, try to remember where you used the same password, google you e-mail address to help you remember; change passwords; consider abandoning the e-mail address if it is not your primary one,...
Also - did the amount of SPAM that you receive on the e-mail address used to login at LinkedIn suddenly increased, while SPAM remained constant on a similar mail account not connected to LinkedIn ? Maybe someone just sold your e-mail address, so the LinkedIn break may affect you even if the password is not in the list.
Bottom line is - LinkedIn approach appears to be: We have no proof that this particular account was hacked since password hash is not in the list - let's not overreact and let'sassume it is not hacked even if we don't have a clue what was actually hacked. I'm not to judge if it is the best approach for the business, but sure as hell I don't like this approach as a user.

Real Life Tips/Hacks
I use this kind of stuff in R all the time. Its actually wonderful how many typical data analytic tasks can be expressed in this format. Thats why, I suspect, both R and J have this operator.
Most intriguing read I had in days.

I am still thinking whats true and whats not in the text though...

Modern day scapegoats e.g. founders are just humiliated (Gates) and fired (Jobs) but not killed compared to earlier times scapegoats, who were actually sacrificed. So the question is, what kind of forces brought about the changes that made present times more civil?

So in a guaranteed civil environment, where the sacrificial lamb will never actually be sacrificed, but the most likely risks are not being able to make it (failed venture) or getting blamed and fired in a venture going downhill after hitting a peak, won't it make the averages go and try out things with a mind set 'if it works great, if it doesn't well the next time...'?

Heck even Google founders did try to sell it to Yahoo very early on. That's my chosen example of an average behavior, to counter the chosen examples in the OPs text.

So its all very interesting to read. But don't know what to do with it. But one thing I am sure of is that dedicated work and self sacrifice (like not wasting too much time enjoying here, and instead actually coding/working) does pay in some form down the line!

Addendum: Would want to add though, that my take away from the notes was extending the innovation period of a Startup. Not yielding to beaureucracy. If the intrigue was built to just drive in that point, it was well worth then.
The Hard Questions that VCs ask Entrepreneurs
Just a guess, but I'd think the most common cause of broken links is the original administrator retiring that whole branch of the site (or the site itself). Often the domain still works but that old stuff has been thrown away.

Often it's clear that what's there now is a lot better or more professional, so you can see why the person didn't feel like messing up the site with the old stuff - but that old stuff is still gone.

Other times the domain is gone, since the person or people have moved on to doing a lot better stuff and stopped maintaining that old site - "why bother." People change - a web site isn't something you publish once, it's something you publish every time your server answers an http request. Would you keep publishing everything you wrote 10 years ago?
Romania has 2 major ISP's, one that has always been very innovative, forward-thinking, has kept prices as low as possible (100 Mbps, unlimited data, for $13 a month, in pretty much any urban area in the country, and even some rural ones), and the other who used to be the landline/dial-up monopoly, but right now are playing catch-up to the other one a bit, but still doing pretty well.

We're still waiting for carriers to start adopting LTE in Europe, though, and it probably won't happen until 2014 or so. Hopefully, they'll jump straight to LTE Advanced by then.

Clicky hijacking leakedin.org (search for 'alert')
Yes. I agree that LastPass is probably a lot better than alternatives. They kind of have their balls on the line if things go wrong.

That said, I have not dwelled to details of how LastPass handles the site design to avoid unintended leaks, (I believe the issues with leakedin are simply unintended mistakes rather than attempted malice) but I sure as hell would avoid using or recommending their services should I find mishandlings of the data within such trivial applications.

About (2), It matters in the sense, that we have to assume that all of the sensitive data which has been leaked before will continue leaking until they have identified the vuln. The worst thing a user can do, is to insert a recycled password and consider the situation resolved.

Should the hacker still have the backdoor open, he'll just steal the new keys as well. Salting helps a bit, but it's far from solving the problem.

What I'm proposing is that people should change the pw twice. First instantly (and not recycling) and then when LNKD has confirmed that this individual attack vector has been closed.

How often do you actually drive 200+ miles in a single day? Personally I have averaged 8k miles per year over the last 5 years and renting a car for the single long trip 340 miles I have made over that time period is not exactly a big deal.

PS: People talk about how long it takes to get a full charge but if you can add 100 miles to the range in an hour while your stopped for lunch that bumps the daily range to 400 which would have more than covered me, but they can apparently get close to a full charge in 45 minutes.

You seem misinformed about multiple issues.

First, while it's certainly true that people of every age have complained about the past, it's also true that some ages were really shitty. Rome went through several really bad emperors, for instance. If we are to learn anything from history, we should learn that there exist signs that we are entering an age of tyranny. It's fine to debate what they are, or whether they are prevalent today, but it's not okay just to toss out any observation about the way things currently are with "yeah but people always complain like this" That's a pretty scary throwaway.

Second, and most tragically, the more laws we have the more the police have the ability to selectively choose. You seem to have it backwards. In a society with a few laws, if the cops bust you they have to pick one random one and try to make it fit. In a society with complicated, diverse, and sometimes conflicting laws, they have a lot more options over how to send you to jail, and it's more likely that one of these options will fit. In the states, for instance, we've made it a felony to lie to a federal official in the progress of his duties. That's so broad and free-ranging that even with an attorney present it's not clear what citizens should do to be sure they are not crossing the line into committing a major crime. The police get to decide. Likewise, many states are choosing not to enforce marijuana laws -- a stance I agree with -- but the national government is constantly enforcing them anyway. At a certain level of complexity, it's all about which laws get attention from officials and which don't.

It might seem that creating a more complex system of laws is a natural consequence of having a more complex and modern society. That's also a fallacy, as complex societal interactions have been working just fine with few laws for recorded history. However, the reverse is true: when a certain degree of complexity is reached, society actually becomes much more simple. Once the system is not understandable to the common man, police can do what they want, prosecutors can pick and choose which laws to enforce or not, and politically-connected people get to live like kings.

It is easy to think that each law we add somehow makes the world a more just and fair place to live in, but that's only because in our mind we pretend that this law will be applied universally. Authorities have long since passed the point where laws are applied universally. To hear and get excited about a new set of laws now is simply to desire to enforce one set of laws at the expense of another (we are never told which laws will be receiving less enforcement action). It's a way for politicians to get elected, not make society a more just place.

All of this is counter-intuitive, I'll grant. But it's not like it's a secret.
"How often do you actually drive 200+ miles in a single day?"

I'm probably not an average driver - I don't drive at all during the week (walk to work and pretty much everywhere else, taxi to airport) but when I do drive to go walking/cycling/skiing the total I drive in a weekend is probably close to 300 miles - either in one day or parking car where recharging won't be available.
