Exactly! In any kind of support role the number one pattern you observe is that there is always a lack of information. Maybe they are flooded to the point where they really cannot respond to these reports, but from what I've seen over 2/3 of support requests and bug reports require extracting more information from the submitter (even when the form specifically states to provide as much detail as possible with examples).

I just chalked this up to a guy that was so excited to have discovered such a major flaw on facebook in disbelief. And yes they have rules and guidelines in place to protect users but clearly this was a case where a little creativity in handling situations would have helped educate the developer that this isn't how things are done at FB and get him on the right path while acknowledging his contribution without celebrating it... amateurs. This was almost guaranteed to be a publicity incident but then again maybe any publicity is good publicity :).
Can you give some examples or links to particularly memorable posts?

Hardly anyone files a bug for fun. I can't imagine that the masses would file bugs since they don't know what they are in the first place. So when anyone files a bug and attach their name with it, they should be taken seriously. What was more important was that he made it clear that he made a post on someone else's timeline without him being friends with them. Red flag right there.
Either ignorance, or a healthy dose of youthful, idealistic liberalism.
Looks as if it's only the length of the article body.

A little superfluous, but I can dig it.

Actually, in strong patriarchal societies, these sort of behaviours are NOT tolerated, mostly because women are assumed to always "belong" to someone else (be it her dad, husband, tutor... whatever), and when people DO try funny stuff, other men will put a end to it.

Societies where people start to feel entitled to have women, are the ones that unite several things at once: materialism, individualism, lack of women to marry, or lack of advantage in having a marriage.

Both sexes will always strive to have sex, that is part of being human, but when the "normal" way of having it get screwed, people find alternative ways...

Be it in a hedonistic society with lots of parties (usually those that have everything I mentioned, PLUS became matriarchal, those societies mimick perfectly matriarchal primates), or in a misoginistic society where women are viewed as prizes (on those that lost classic patriarchalist values, but retained the male dominance, like India since 15 years ago, or Saudi Arabia), and some has a bit of both...

Nothing can prepare you for hang ups. But how you react to it shows your character. And if you can't handle it, find a job that doesn't require cold calling.
I noticed that they closed off generating new API keys. It's possible that this is because they created their own iOS app and could be working on an Android one.
Extending Ruby Classes
Understand though that the people working on Facebook's security are real and very smart and by and large not the least bit interested in screwing other bugfinders out of 0.00000000001% of Facebook's operating capital.

But they certainly are happy to act as total pencil pushers when it comes to parting with that 0.00000000001% of Facebook's operating capital.

I look forward to Jim Denaro's blog post. Perhaps my viewpoint on this completely wrong and could be corrected, but for now this stinks of a cop-out behind red tape.

Edit: Further clarification below ... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6240105.
Let me take a shot at answering this.

1. India has a lot of beautiful and varied landscapes. There are mountains, lakes, forests , beautiful beaches , backwaters. I cannot do justice to the amazing places I have seen.

2. Almost everyone speaks English. In some places, to make the tourists feel more comfortable people have learned Hebrew, French and German.

3. Things are indeed cheap.

More controversially, I have also been told by travelers that the other reason India remains so popular is that drugs are incredibly easy to score, especially in some tourist spots.

The other thing is that a lot of tourists do not keep travelling among hordes of poor people. If they go to Goa, they hit the beaches directly where they meet other tourists and other people trying to sell exotic crap. If they go to the mountains they live surrounded by other tourists.
If finding a Scala position in the US (I assume) is already this difficult, here in Brazil it's infinitely harder. I guess our startup is one of the very few that has a fairly large system in production running on Scala, Play, and Akka. It's next to impossible to find people with experience yet alone experience in production. The key is to find people genuinely interested in learning.

This is really cool. Thanks for releasing it to the world!

Of course it is as secure as the virtualbox Sanbox is, but some variation of this statement would also be true for Flash, for Java and a host of other technologies that despite whatever flaws they had did allow a lot of interesting things to be built.

I am here musing, trying to come up with something nice I could build once the Linux-packaged version is made available...
... sometimes I do 20 million database queries before breakfast.
They were very quick to determine that it was an isolated incident. I'd be interested to see if any more of this surfaces. Of course I'm sure being stupid enough to put extortion into email is isolated.
Being real and very smart does not preclude you from being an asshole.
I'm impressed his former boss sent him a note to state that he felt really bad about the way things happened. It would be nice if he'd done more initially but it still takes a lot of character to write that note and apologize vs just blow it off or chalk it up to the past.
That's a problem with whoever designed the new landing page then, not a problem with Bootstrap 3.0.
I was pretty close to contributing to this kickstarter, and the comment is at odds with what I could find about the guy whose company it is (a Canadian guy who seems pretty interesting), following his personal links, etc. That comment on techcrunch really bothered me, though.

The guy's name is Patrick Edwards-Daughtery and this is his personal site:

I lived once with 6 indians that came to Brazil on a contract.

One wanted to learn portuguese, and knew english really really well, and loved to talk (also he knew like 6 indian dialects, he really liked languages), and he was married.

Talking with him, and later with the others when he was nearby, I learned that this is a kind of new thing, and they are confused...

Seemly the merging of a traditional patriarchal culture with the western materialistic culture led to this weird bizarre culture where women are not seen as human anymore (and the lack of women because of female infanticide do not help either)

EDIT: And yes, they are curious, and are not shy about it, also they loved museums a lot... They visited in 4 months more museums here in Brazil than I ever did in my whole life.
It really is fascinating. Professional equipment combined with consumer luxury marketing to sell a dream of overnight success to aspiring filmmakers. A super-secretive company whose marketing is founded on "transparency". Over-promising and under-delivering seen as a feature. Industrial espionage. Patent lawsuits. You can't make this stuff up; it's better than fiction.

I think there is a need for more platforms that isolate the 'mission systems' parts from the flight controls systems. There are tons of applications that should not require developers to become a controls engineer to implement.
Since you seem intent on furthering this conversation, here's an honest suggestion for you if you want to truly think about what you are arguing. Extensive academic thought already exists related to the argument you are trying to make -- in short, that it is worth restricting diversity in order to normalize cultures across the globe:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postcolonialism

Postcolonialism, and especially postmodernism, are very complex concepts that require a great deal of study to grasp, but it may be worth your while if you want a serious challenge to your argument.
> In fact, the more hate I get, the happier I am, I feed off it,

The NSA must be extremely happy from all the right things they're doing.
If the media hasn't consistently presented "hacker" as negative, why is it seen as such? After all, everyone who actually knows what hacking is a: sees it as positive, and b: is irritated at the media presentation.

Facts is facts, man. Sorry if you don't like the snark, but I'm not sorry for telling the truth.
"We" do not "give" for "services". There is a privileged group of people who are entitled to not paying taxes at all, but instead extracting them with violent force (and servicing a huge paperwork that hides that violence.)

Policemen do not pay taxes from their salary (even if formally they do). They are net tax receivers. And they also get to hold a gun to your head when you do not give them money, or refuse to pay it from your employee's payroll, or something else (as I said, the paperwork is huge and complex to hide where exactly the gun is being pointed).

When you are being robbed and then given some bribe to make an illusion of a good done to you, it's not a "service", it's a bullshit of a catholic caliber.

As I mentioned many times again on HN, pro-government or pro-law rhetoric is no different from religious bullshit that one group of people uses on another group of people at the expense of someone else.

Compare:

"Without religion and church there's no morality" => "without government we'll have anarchic chaos"

"You must trust pope because he's set here by God" => "You must trust mr. president because there is society that elected him"

"If god does not exist, who created everything?" => "Without government how would we build roads and fly to the moon?"

"The Bible says what's good and what's bad" => "The constitution defines our rights."

"If you are against religion, you are against morality" => "If you are against government, you are against society".
How does this make any sense at all? You imagine Facebook's security team as a bunch of green-shaded pocket-beprotectored bureaucrats? They're appsec people spending their team trying to tackle one of the hardest appsec problems in basically the whole world.

Who would even have time for ceremony in a situation like that?
You can't actually see all the left-menu items on http://getbootstrap.com/components/ on a 13inch screen.

"Anyone who is worth a shit has been fired at least once."
Both pages show the exact same content with relatively small positioning changes. For me, however, the new version is definitely more pleasant to look at.

That being said, Bootstrap is supposed to be a starting point, not the final style. Going flat means less work for us developers when we start styling their components.
Yup, and we'll be working with these folks make this more official shortly. Stay tuned!
abused

Really? Just because FB's security team was dismissive of a real bug report due to a language barrier they could have overcome with the tiniest bit of due diligence?
They would promise a machine capable off x by a certain date, miss the date and then tell everyone that they are the best in all situations.
I might try this when I get home - I'm new to Ruby/RoR and I had a hell of a time getting the twitter-bootstrap-rails gem and it's dependencies installed on my windows machine and just went with Foundation.
People often forget that Greenwald hasn't had any experience in this kind of security. Snowden and others had to work him through setting up GPG and by his own admission he didn't have any knowledge of encryption or anonymisation before the Snowden affair.
Nice opinion. You could have done me a favor and actually offered it in a more helpful way rather than referencing a quote from an idiot....

If anyone else is interested in checking out the foundation framework, here's the link to save you a google: http://foundation.zurb.com/
I disagree. Just look at the people in this thread asking how to install it. In a VM you will mimic what you will eventually do, and installation is an apt-get or yum away.

If someone is learning off of, say, Windows, their experience may possibly be quite different to what they will experience if they run this within a VM.
v2.x supported IE7, so yeah. Since we dropped that we were able to make use of it.

Edit for typo
seems to me like you need to learn some basic programming to cleanse and reformat data.
Since you listed python here already, it may be that you already know some basic programming but if a program takes forever you probably need to learn about algorithmic complexity. You may program something that's in principal correct but may be very expensive to calculate.
This link seems to cover the basics http://community.topcoder.com/tc?module=Static&d1=tutorials&...

So other than that, there's the R language that's pretty good for statistical analysis of data.
If you're serious about data analysis, learning to program and either improving your skillset in python or learning a dedicated data analysis language like R will help the most.
Automation Myths: The NSA Can't Replace 90% of Its System Administrators
It seems pretty clear to me (Occam's razor):

1) he was told he had to use the same monitoring process all the other providers were using

2) as a state secret, he couldn't reveal he was doing it ever to his users

3) if he complied he would totally undermine the nature of his service

Anything else is superfluous.
Whatever set of things you are obviously doesn't preclude you from calling people you don't know "assholes" either, does it?

This is all you have to say?
Crowdsourcing by Bird-Watchers Maps Migrations
I threw my idea list at the guy (I think it was only 80-something deep at the time) and were tossed some ideas back and forth. Ultimately, I decided I didn't really think he was the type of partner I was looking for. Absolutely nothing personal against him and I assure you, his offers were legitimate and he very easily had the means to accomplish what he put forth in his original post. It simply can't down to him being a business/sales guy, when I wanted another technical person; and him looking to fund full time development of an idea, whereas I wasn't all too concerned with those financials.
But that part is circular. I want to know if a given act is unlawful.
WOW WOW you say "abused"... strong language there. He was trying to show the bug to them. This guy looks like he never read the TOS in the first place so he wasn't going after abusing. He didn't communicate properly is the way I would put it.
Yeah, sorry about those changes in the RCs. Really we used the wrong label and are sorry about that. All in all though, everything with those pre-releases worked out really well. Just a naming thing :).

And thank you! <3
I've often dealt with "big data" by using sampling and stratified sampling and it is nice to see they're building something that can automate this process.
I have seen this culture of misogyny and treating women as sexual objects in almost all places in India I have lived in. Not trying to counter your point, just saying that this observation could have been written by a woman who spent her time in Kolkata/Chennai/Bangalore/Mumbai rather than in Pune. In fact Pune in some respects is much better than some of the cities I mentioned above.
I think you're confusing the joy of travel with a vacation. I believe the two to be very different things. India, the Middle East, China offer very different cultural experiences, and most people travel to take a glimpse of those experiences.

The crimes and experiences as highlighted in this article however are completely inexcusable.
I don't see where in my post that I diminished its sales.
I agree that it was braindead, however, there is a great deal of deliberation involved. Any other form of "meeting" (to be grossly and dangerously euphemistic) would have involved lawyers and probably also consular assistance. A misuse (or, if you prefer, abuse) of anti-terror legislation is the only possible way to intimidate, interrogate and hold a foreign national who has not (and does not) currently commit a crime on British soil.

"Stopping and detaining" was exactly the one option British authorities could not use, because that would have put him outside the law-free zone that is the airport. That's why they chose another way, and that's why they get, perhaps unexpectedly, a great deal of backlash from this.

"all rapes that were reported in media were done by people from lower rung of our society?"

Wow, thats a strong comment. I am sure you have concrete data supporting that!
word my bad
I like the idea you mention. Sounds like it can be used for many endeavours.

OP, do you have any traction in developed nations?
Stolen documents? No, no. He was, at worst, carrying a copy of information someone else copied without being allowed to so.

You see, if he were carrying stolen documents, someone at Booze Hamilton would be saying "shiiit, that manilla folder with the post-it saying important stuff, don't lose got stolen!".

If someone tells you a secret, hd might be a hero or a villain... but a thief he is not!
I thought he handled that quite well, he specifically noted that his handling of thermal expansion was correct on the small scale.

Note that he mentioned that all of the renderings were correct for three pillars, but did not take into affect what happens when you expand to several thousand of them.

I would expect a rocket engineer to understand thermal expansion in an item that is 100 feet long, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did not understand what it was like when working with a 300 mile tunnel.
Private browsing hacker style
You're right - the second one really starts to shine there, doesn't it. The colors are more alive and vivid and less washed-out looking.
Ugh, that's what it is :( I didn't see that and I hate websites that mess with your history...guess I'll switch off showterm for now :(
Yes, there is a logic to it. It shows very clearly that governments around the world are using anti-terrorism laws as a blank warrant to do whatever they please (particularly to foreigners). If the detention authority extends to someone who interacts with someone who interviewed someone accused of exposing an anti-terrorist program, there are very few things left outside its reach indeed.
What are the benefits of drip marketing?
Ok fine, you've drawn me in.

The main counter argument is that you simply have no right dictate how others communicate, despite your declarations of improved efficiency and increased idea proliferation. I think people who spend tons of money on clothes and other trappings are wasting resources and contributing to unhealthy societal development, yet I do not go around demonizing these people. I kindly share my view to receptive listeners, while also attempting to recognize my own biases and inability to perfectly understand this massively complex world. Do you also go around proselytizing SUV owners for their massive waste of gasoline? Why not?

Lastly, it would be impossible to quantify this, but I wonder how much cultural richness, diversity of thinking, etc we would be losing if all of the sudden everyone was forced to only use English? My bet is that it would not be a trivial loss.

Anyways, I wouldn't be surprised if translation technologies make this discussion completely moot in the next couple decades.
Very tough story. What I don't get is why someone who is so good at sales (the story supports this) is on food stamps. If you can say, "I landed clients A, B and C" then a competitor would hire you to do it for them too, no?
Also he did mention on whose wall he posted and that they are not friends so this should have been a red flag on its own.
Thanks for the input! She's full time (though more like double full time) front-end engineer and designer. Designing both the web app and ios and android apps. Definitely worth it :)
Mr. Miranda: They were threatening me all the time and saying I would be put in jail if I didn't co-operate. (...) They got me to tell them the passwords for my computer and mobile phone. They said I was obliged to answer all their questions and used the words 'prison' and 'station' all the time. (...) I don't even know if it was documents that I was carrying. It could have been for the movie that Laura is working on.

So he did give his passwords (there's really a law in UK for that) and he was carrying something, exactly as the interrogators expected.
As a citizen of a (current) EEC-non-EU member country a feel there's a huge difference. But yes, my comment was a bit pedantic :)
As a brazilian that have lived in India for some time, I could tell you that the form democracy present in both countries today has a lot to do with incidents such as the reported on the post.
The historic distance between poverty and middle-class just grows as the public institutions can't provide basic (or with the minimium required quality) services to the poor: education, healthcare, housing, etc.

I don't agree with the _poor people have a different moral_ argument presented by 'gnufied, but there is an intense feeling of social tension on a daily basis on both countries, which is clearly related to the income gap and the almost tribal mindsets developed by those completely different realities.

Besides the economic factor, India also displays consequences from gender issues liked to its patriarcal society and sexual repression. Unsurprisingly, the lower part of the social pyramid is also the one that suffers more from a conflict between the exarcerbated sexuality pushed by media and the to be said moral values of society. The education system wouldn't reach that part of the population with the same quality as rich or middle-class people, which, as said on other comments, also suffers from that on a lesser degree.
+1 for the great choide of title. The article is actually about the community taking over development, which is not really proven 1 week after starting the idea. It's not like cataclysm (a zombie rogue-like) where the developer built a running program and a community around that peace of software and now they finished a Kickstarter and developed the program some recognizable steps ahead. After a week of forming a new team it's not even clear if the team itself will hold up.
I completely assume that Google will turn over your entire email history to the US government whenever they ask, and without telling you, then or later.
It may be interesting to hear that story as well.
You imagine Facebook's security team as a bunch of green-shaded pocket-beprotectored bureaucrats?

No, I do not. I am sure they are as smart as you say they are.

More importantly, I think the people who make the call to pay/not pay the bounty are not the same appsec people.

They are the ones who I'd agree are the green-shaded pocket-beprotectored bureaucrats (and pencil pushers).
Undoubtedly. DevOps as a movement is at risk of being the playground of startups and small businesses, with little impact in the enterprise.

More of a concern to me, though, is that "DevOps" will simply become another meaningless buzzword, like "Agile". They'll adopt the phrase but not the culture.
