Our point there was this: the type of phishing that caught us was pretty casual, and aimed at users who weren't very technically sophisticated, and those users shouldn't have had access to our twitter accounts.

The proposed solution is certainly pretty drastic, but when it comes to securing twitter accounts, there aren't a lot of options. The safest one I can see is to connect the accounts to an email address that isn't part of our google apps organization, as that is the common attack vector here.

Our twitter accounts are a high value resource, and are pretty hard to protect. We have almost 5 million followers, and two factor authentication isn't even an option. Once hackers change the email address on the account, we lose all access until we can get in touch with someone at Twitter (which takes a while, even for us).
Are they even in production? I know if I write a check I can get a Tesla.
You mean, how much did the 'mole' see/hear/do before getting booted from HTP?
Are you sure on the first part? My read of the historical narrative is that folks attribute the success of Apollo to JFK, not Nixon, and not Johnson. However wrong or right.

Motor Trend didn't, so I don't see why he would. There are specific non-EVs which beat the Tesla on specific things, but nothing which beats the whole package, regardless of drivetrain.

(Well, Tesla towing capacity is kind of crap I think, and it would be a poor choice if you street parked, drove to a far away location without superchargers enroute, etc.)
We don't support Glacier yet. It's a good idea and one I'll run by the team.

I'm not sure why Amazon doesn't have a feature to mirror an S3 bucket to Glacier (which would solve your problem). I imagine they will but for the moment the closest thing they have is the lifecycle feature but it removes the file from S3 once it's moved to Glacier.

Happy to talk it through if you'd like. Drop an email to support@trovebox.com

This happened to me several years ago. I'm appalled they still do this! It's the main reason I deleted my account. For what it is worth, I've never once regretted deleting it.
IANAL.. but at the very least, I'd say its poor strategy because the people he's suing (esp. VC funds) are well connected in Silicon Valley.

It looks like he's equating "pass through" transactions with being a (unlicensed) Money Transfer Agent.

Hypothetically, If I was going to start a PayPal alternative, I would figure out a way to stay somewhat compliant.

If that fails, seek a declarative judgement against XYZ agency to get legal clarification, without dragging all the VCs, Angels and unrelated companies into the case.
One problem I have with the current 2FA on Google Apps is that there is no way to enforce 2FA for all users before everyone sets up their mobile device. If you've set the requirement for all to have 2FA, then new users can never log in.

You're then left in this limbo of some with/some without 2FA, and unless you actively pursue those without it setup, you can never change that system wide setting in the control panel.
It's more jargon than it is complexity.

Most people don't get electricity or internal combustion engines or computers or whatever, so that is kind of a scary standard.

I own ~95% index funds, which makes most of my research pretty easy. For the individual stocks I do own, I like to follow the analysis on Reuters. Even just spending an hour/week reading the latest news does wonders.

For Tesla: http://www.reuters.com/finance/stocks/companyNews?symbol=TSL...

Investing around a short squeeze is out of your control, and I would argue, not worth worrying about. The price will bounce around like crazy and some people will make 30% in a day while others lose much more than that, but in the end, Tesla's price will reflect their ability to turn a profit in the future.

If you feel like the future market cap of Tesla is larger than it is today (with all the usual time-value-of-money caveats), keep your money invested and don't waste your time fretting over the mayhem on Wall St.
The reason why companies use points instead of $ is:
1) Easy to keep the price consistent world wide
2) There is a casino chip theory that you spend more money when it is abstracted. People spend more when they use their credit cards as opposed to cash, etc.
3) You can sell point cards at retailers to the unbanked. In the Xbox case this is important because a lot of your audience is kids.
Tinker is a very basic REPL - it has no readline support or error handling - so I've just made a package to add Boris support to Laravel 4.

Meanwhile in Europe unpasteurized raw milk (good/bad?) is allowed to make cheese and wooden force feed geese to produce foie gras, horse meat and marmite yeah there I said it. I bet European countries have a lot of "traditional" foods grandfathered in even though barely safe. I'm sure the blame game can be used to make the US or European countries look bad.

Although it's great if rules can make us safer and animals lives better but even though there are some good rules and common sense to get rid of antibiotics, heavy metals and nasty pesticides. But this strikes me as noses turned up especially quoting radical animal rights groups such as the essentially ten year old Humane Society of the United States organization (pretty much ex-PETA extreme extremists took it over) .
That "some reason" is, as other comments have said, to only get responses from the most gullible marks. If you're gullible enough to respond to a typo-ridden email from someone claiming to be a Nigerian prince who just needs you to pay him a small fortune now in return for a huge fortune later, you're worth pursuing. However, that logic doesn't apply here since the phishing attack was targeted. That's why the email did not have deliberate typos. However, unlike Nigeria, Syria isn't an English speaking country, which explains the awkward phrasing in the email's one line.
Actually this exists, but not for cosmetic reasons. Hybrid cars on their motors are just so silent that they're worried that someone (probably someone blind) will be hit by them.
Well, that's one way to get blacklisted by everyone in SV.

I suspect folks at The Onion get completely legitimate lead emails with worse English than that on a regular basis.
There is a word that hasn't come up in this discussion, and that's Asperger's. I know some people with Asperger's who are very oppositional and some who are not. Given that ADHD is sometimes considered the tail end of he Autism-Asperger's spectrum (not always, this is new and controversial), I think it is reasonable. As top commenter bjhoops says: "it is probably much more common that some kinds of mentally ill individuals happen to be anti-authoritarian."

And I don't really agree with it either, but Einstein has often been co-opted by Asperger's support groups as one of their own.

From my admittedly limited reading on autism, Asperger's, and other behavioral diagnoses, they are not mental illnesses but rather alternate "wirings" of the brain. People on this spectrum can (to varying degrees) learn to deal with the "neuro-typical" world around them, but they can't change their brains. And these are not one-dimensional conditions: people on the spectrum have any number of different wiring, from social handicaps to language problems, hypersensitivity to touch or noise, face recogniition, etc.

I suspect that anti-authoritarianism is one of these dimensions. It can exist on it's own in an otherwise "neuro-typical" person, but it often gets added to other deficiencies on the Autism-Asperger's spectrum.

I am not saying that blind adherence to authority is "typical," but I think there is often a recognition of parental and social authority that is mostly normal which is what the anti-authoritarian lacks.
The above may be the best explanation of PhotoStream I've seen. What PhotoStream accomplishes: lets you VIEW your photos anywhere.

Problem is, that's not exactly what most of us thought it was for, because it's not solving the biggest problem we have: finding a universal HOME for our photos. We want wireless syncing of our photo libraries, and the ability to manage that remotely.

So like you said, we get into DRY issues - the issue of having to delete your photos in both PhotoStream AND on the device is super-cumbersome. It's very un-Apple-like - to the point that I wonder if they did any user testing at all on this one.
Lots of really great support tips and quotes in here, support is one of those tricky things that can wear you down. Worse, when you screw up on a support interaction, it is especially disappointing to the user.

Bugs can be fixed, relationships are much, much harder to repair.
The cynical answer is that you specialize in post-hoc analysis like this. Predictions, after all, can be wrong. :)

This is true in general obviously, but investing specifically is filled with explanations like this that make sense only in hindsight.
Ya, I thought Alan Greenspan was retired.
The last several months in Silicon Valley I do not remember the last time I went outside for more than 5 minutes and not seen a Tesla. I noticed about a week ago I stopped caring, much as I do not especially remark on noticing a Honda or a Ford. That's a good sign, though likely very geographically localized.
The easiest way to recognise the link text as a FQDN would be to check for http:// or www., but even without them (i.e. google.com/foo) users will still assume it's a URL. If attackers get creative with unicode (e.g. google۔com using U+06D4), it could be pretty difficult to identify text that looks like a link.
The law would do a lot of damage to the startup world if it were enforced as written.

It's quite possible to get a lower rate than what's billed to the insurance company if you're uninsured. Maybe not at all hospitals, but at many.

UK doesn't not work as described in [1], and I don't think any other country works like that.

In the UK, if you have a certain income (as low as £8,000), you must pay for national insurance, whether you like it or not, whether you're going to use it or not. If you want to use the faster/better service, that is private insurance, then you have to pay for your private insurance, as well as national insurance, both in full.
This thread reminds me never to open a business in Europe.
>Other than at the height of the lunar landing program, most Americans think it's a waste.

I think this has to do with the lack of notable "stuff" nasa has been doing over the past few dozen years because of budget constraints. People think nasa takes up a huge amount of the budget, and then when they hear that all they've been doing over the last few decades is LEO/probe work, it's not hard to imagine that a layman would be unsatisified with them.

>I don't think the space program alone is going to fix our underlying maladies, but it will help.

You're absolutely right on this. It certainly wont fix the problem, but finding a reason to dump a few hundred billion dollars into an agency that brings up to 14x economic returns in addition to a boost in national pride is a pretty good investment.[1]

"How to make your Apps Retina(AKA High Res, High DPI) ready?

Perhaps something that doesn't perpetuate the incorrect thinking that Retina is any different than other high definition/high resolution monitors?

I don't mind using Retina as the main keyword for communications sake, but it seems we should communicate that high res/high dpi are the same thing :D
Thanks it worked after I unpacked it.
Money transmission means moving money from one person to another. If you could use your Xbox to send money to a friend who also has an Xbox, then Microsoft would need a money transmitter license. Selling products, services, or "credits" for products or services, is not money transmission and doesn't require any kind of financial license.
1. They might actually know what they are doing or 2. they aren't doing payments of the sort that needs this sort of license.
The whole reason for this mess is that VCs refused to invest in his "legal" startup (didn't want to waste money on compliance costs?) and invested in a bunch of "illegal" competing companies instead.
Yep, exactly. April revenue was $115k.

I would argue that something as fundamentally impractical as the Arcimoto is more of a status symbol than a family sedan.
It seems really odd to me that AirBnb is being included in this list.

57. Defendant Airbnb, Inc. allows its customers to rent the homes of other
customers for varying durations, in lieu of a hotel. To process each
transaction it holds onto the customer’s funds, and remits those funds
to the property owner at the conclusion of the stay, minus its fee.

Well, okay, but wouldn't this apply to every company that acts as a marketplace between buyers and sellers?

Is the point of this to show the absurdity of the scope of the Money Transmission Act?
<a href="http://google.com/ onclick="document.location.href='http://www.hackersite.com/>http://google.com/</a>;

Oh, so you check that? How about I just position an invisible element overtop of the valid looking link? Or use the click handler to do a preventDefault/setTimeout?

The only way I can think of to even remotely feasibly try and catch this is to just track the last URL clicked if it looks like a FQDN, then compare that against the browser's URL on the next document.onready.

Of course, if the site has any sort of open redirection, then that's useless.

However, after all of this... The attackers can just switch to using links which don't have the FQDN in their label.
I hate to jump on the bandwagon here, but looking at the screenshot it's very clear that this was a conscious decision and honestly your response here is inappropriate.

Here's the facts of this flow (http://imgur.com/KSsinEq):

1. EVERYTHING that indicates a message will be sent is squished into one corner in 11pt font-size - smaller than anything else in the flow. Neither the header nor the explanation indicate a message will be sent.

2. The two links that you squished into a corner do not follow standard link conventions, they are neither underlined nor in classic blue. Which is interesting because across the rest of your site I see you use the underline convention of grey links (in the "save for later' and the footer for instance).

3. It's not white on black, it's #c8c8c8 on #3a3a3a, those are both muted tones that make the contrast significantly less stark. It makes a difference (check this out: http://i.imgur.com/Pypkv3n.jpg). The header is pure white on the background, so clearly you knew the color would make less of an impact when muted.

Why not just own up to the fact you wanted to get the word out and this was a classic attempt of a company being too smart for it's own good? I'm sure this version converted way better than when you made it clear it sent a message. Instead you come in and just fan the flames.
I'd be happy to try to explain anything. This doesn't even get into the little "unhedged" word's complexity :)

That's when you start getting into options and derivatives, which are (theoretically) priced on a 5 variable differential equation called "Black-Scholes" (intuitively, you are just buying the right to buy or sell a stock for a particular amount at or by a certain date in the future).

You could construct a trade using those where you would make a smaller amount of money if the price fell, but your losses would be capped above a certain amount. In investing terms, you could buy out of the money calls to hedge your short position, and then your loss would be capped at (price you sold - max(price you have to re-buy at, price you can call your options at plus the option premium). I'll stop there before I get too far out of my league :)
But Somalia has a government. It's just not very effective at maintaining order, or interested in it. The point is that Somalia is just not a good argument for why life without governments would be bad, especially since it does have one.
>But who is to decide?

In Europe it's easy: the region that created AND named the stuff is to decide.

>Imagine if the same thing happened to hamburgers or endless other common things.

It already happens, just not in a regional level but a corporate one. You cannot call your burger a "Big Mac" or "Baconator".

Also remember that the names we're talking about are not generic as "hamburger", but specific. Feta is a specific product, whereas the analogous to your hamburger example would be if a region has a monopoly on "cheese".

>Feta means slice, "φέτα", so they can't sell a slice of cheese in the EU, made perfectly in the traditional manner, calling it a slice in their own language as they have always done?

Feta is the word for slice, but is also a specific name for a specific cheese -- not to be confused.

(The fact that they are Greek citizens doesn't play any role, the right for Point of Origin protection went to Greece, not Greeks in general. Else any company worldwide could hire some Greeks or some French, and say it makes Feta or Champagne, etc).

>they've been making that cheese since forever I can't see how you can retrospectively then say people can't call it that.

Well, that "forever" is merely a century or less, since most of them weren't longer than that in Australia. Compare this with over two millennia of Feta tradition in Greece.

In any case, it's an EU law to protect the regions that create specific stuff and the consumers. Without it our supermarkets would be full of crap sold as "X", made for cheap in some foreign country with no quality control, and sold as genuine X.
We love our original, and quality/origin protected food a lot to let that happen.
Originally it was simply an 'every minute' cron job. That only scales so far ;)
I am also a novice investor, but the # of shares that are short are actually listed on the details pages of many online stock sites, for example: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=TSLA+Key+Statistics

Shares Outstanding:	114.52M

EDIT - I guess this is more relevant:

>The grief drives those larger companies (and investors into the smaller companies) to push for these laws to actually get fixed

Huh? The law just got rid of many of their competitors, and they're going to push to change the law?
Perhaps I'm new here, but any chance the title might get 's/Greenspan/Aaron Greenspan/'? I got real confused as to why Alan Greenspan might be suing tech companies...
The thing I don't understand is how this somehow didn't come up until a month before the event. I thought these things were planned way in advance... if they're not, they should be; organizing something like this is a pretty serious responsibility, and if you take that on, you should be a lot more diligent and proactive in securing your space.

Of course, without more information on what actually happened, when, and what kind of notice they could have realistically received, this might be a bit harsh. If Apple just kind of swooped in and said "hey hotel, we're going to be using you next month" and the contract required compliance... then it seems like the hotel management has signed a very one-sided and unfortunate contract with Apple (of whom I'm not a big fan but wouldn't blame for this).

Anyway, this is a shame. Hopefully next time they can get a reasonable guarantee on their venue.
I completely agree in most cases, however the Reuters article I linked was written earlier this week. Some market conditions necessitate a big swing in prices -- though guessing which direction prices will swing can be tricky.

If you wanted de-risk your position, you could set up an option straddle or just sell your shares before the announcement and then buy them again next week.
Did anyone read the part where he explains that he is not being represented by a lawyer? ("REQUEST FOR CIVIL LOCAL RULE 3-9(b) EXEMPTION AND RETIREMENT.") That seems a very unusual decision indeed. Does anyone have any idea why he would do it that way? Is it probably a money issue?
I think it'd be interesting if Kickstarter projects were required to (or maybe strongly encouraged to) donate a percentage of their earnings to another project(s) on the site. Making these percentages visible to users would be interesting as well; smaller projects might get some extra visibility from larger projects like Mr. Braff's.
>The grief drives those larger companies (and investors into the smaller companies) to push for these laws to actually get fixed

Huh? They're going to push to change a law that prevents smaller companies from competing with them?

Most of the small government crowd is partially libertarian. They ain't perfect, but you can get their votes on a number of libertarian issues.

They get a bad rap on the internet because the Republicans (whom they normally vote for) need religious conservatives to make a winning coalition, but they still do good. For example, the only obstacle to the internet sales tax is the House Republican caucus.
I too was shocked that Alan Greenspan was suing people. "The Fed has gone too far!!!"
