Thanks, I'll add them to the list of resources we have in the repository.
Your point is good. I'd solve the problem like this: Instead of whitelisting certain kinds of attacks and parts of the company for bounty eligibility, I'd create a very limited blacklist. This blacklist would consist of actions which, despite being good-faith security research, would cause unacceptable damage to the company. For example, blacklisted actions might include:

- Deleting the company's data.

- Stealing from customers.

- DDoSing the site.

If you find a bug by taking any of the blacklisted actions, you get no bounty.

This approach protects the company without unduly limiting the thoroughness of the review.
I never can tell these days.
'Just want to add that this shows a very large misconception in the corporate security world. Security is not something you can get a "B - good effort" for. Security is all encompassing. You either get an A+ and the hacker does not get in, or you get an F and your data is gone. There is no middle ground.'

That's not true. There are substantially different levels of security required depending on the expected resources an attacker can devote to attacking you, and you can be better or worse at resiliency and recovery (where dollars and hours very much form a continuum).

Steve Case: Don’t let the United States turn into Detroit
F1 has always been intended to move tech into production cars. It was never just about fun loud cars. It's definitely true that a few dozen cars running laps for a day isn't going to have much effect on the climate, the point is to improve millions of cars in the future.
How is it any different from "one ton of gold" versus "$40 million in gold"? Surely the latter provides more useful information to the general public?
On Linux making a standalone binary is surprisingly easy:

$ fsharpc file.fs # can run the generated file.exe via mono at this point
$ mkbundle --static file.exe -o file

Now ./file is a statically compiled binary. Easy deployment.
It is thought of as harmless and it is in a lot of combo medicine. So you can take a cold/flu medicine with it in it, then some tablets for headache, then maybe another cold med, and my headache is really bad, more headache medicine, I mean it is thought of as harmless.

What articles like this completely ignore is that toy stores are not divided into a blue boy's section and a pink girl's section. There's the "girl's section", and then there's "everything else".

They are taking the fact that some things are marketed explicitly to women as evidence that everything else is marketed to men. It's absurd, but that's feminist navelgazing for you. Same reason they blame men for women's beauty standards, even though it's women and women's magazines who enforce them. Things marketed to women by women as being for women.

And then something like Goldieblox comes around that's like shitty pink meccano with dumb girlie stories attached to each box set, and behold! It's somehow going to set girls free of the pink tyranny... by being stereotypically aimed at girls.

Or you could just buy them ordinary gender-neutral LEGO. The one that boys and girls alike can enjoy.

This feels pretty rich coming from the same guy who kowtowed to the copyright industry in order to bring us baked-in DRM on the web.

In practice, the singularly boneheaded decision to allow DRM into the official HTML5 spec will have a far greater impact on the average user's web experience than NSA backdoors will.

With most of our open-source projects at HubSpot (http://github.hubspot.com), we've tried to keep things modular and small, doing one thing as well as it possibly could be done.

It seems that he pointed out a security vulnerability in your infrastructure - something you do have control over. And if a vulnerability is found in an external service you use, do you feel that you don't have a responsibility to mitigate the risk posed by the service whether or not you have direct control over it?
Want to get comfortable sleeping only 4-6 hours a day? Have a baby.

Seriously, though, while the page is a bunch of marketing bullshit I'd be interested in buying if it came out as a product. There really seems to be something to timing your wakeups to coincide with your sleep cycle. I have a very predictable 90 minute cycle and fall asleep very quickly, so I've had good luck with those sleep timer apps that wake you up at multiples of 90 minutes.

Another significant danger is posed to anyone who has been drinking in the days before taking the drug. The enzymes which process alcohol also process the paracetamol, and will be present in elevated levels, potentially causing liver damage. What is important is that the danger is caused by taking paracetamol some time (hours or days) after having consumed alcohol; most people think that paracetamol is only dangerous when taken with alcohol.
Wow, I had no idea things have progressed this far in the F# world on Linux. I might have to try it on my next numerical project.
Thanks for posting.
I found it interesting that I agree a lot with the title and disagree a lot with all the rest of the article.

First: "There are studies funded to measure hand firmness and eye contact because they're indicators of authenticity and enthusiasm."

Really?? I understand the importance for the CEO to be likable, even if he is an asshole. Steve Jobs had that precisely because of his authenticity and enthusiasm. But why make such an effort on faking it if you can be it?? What a sad life to fake evey handshake. Authenticity must need a bit of practice, because we are kind of trained to "lie to please". But with some diligence, one can start to be a little more self-confident and authentic, caring less about others might think (see that this the exact opposite of faking handshakes?). And enthusiasm should be natural too. If you are not enthusiastic with the product you are creating, you shouldn't be creating it. Or at least you should expect and accept that it will no "enchant" anyone and work hard to be just profitable.

If I understood it correctly, the first part of the text tell to "dress to match your audience" and practice your handshakes in order to be more authentic. In other words, go through a great length of faking to be authentic. That was just a weird advice.

I will try to enchant, be authentic and enthusiastic by rejecting every advice Kawasaki gave here. I think it is the logical thing to do.

I would just like to point out to dba7dba that his account seems to be banned and the post appears as [dead], just like all the other posts he wrote in the past 294 days (but not those before). Reading his contribution in this thread and some of his earlier comments, it is not at all obvious why he is banned - moderating a forum is fine, but letting someone post for another year without telling them they are banned seems outright cruel - what is going on here exactly?
They sure write a lot but for someone more technologically oriented, the water plasma engine or CAT is most interesting.

http://pepl.engin.umich.edu/thrusters/CAT.html

"First, from a propellant tank, our fuel propellant will be injected from its storage tank into the plasma liner, a quartz chamber that distributes the gas and contains the plasma. The gas is turned into a plasma by a radio frequency antenna that surrounds the liner and launches a plasma wave known as a "helicon." Then the plasma is launched out of the liner with magnetic fields from extremely powerful permanent magnets, pushing the satellite in the opposite direction. Unlike conventional rockets, almost any gas can be used as propellant for the CAT - even water vapor! "

Some ion engines use electrostatics (charged grids) for accelerating the ions. Maybe here it's just their random movement?

Here's the noble gas helicon double layer thruster, I don't know how related the CAT is related to this:

There is practically no history behind the term "libertardian"

I should have clarified: personal history.

That said, I thought I was being original when I coined it and found (with some satisfaction) that I wasn't.

Convincing people of their follies isn't my primary goal. Understanding their follies and the dynamics behind them are. While I generally don't launch into discussions spewing "libertardian" (present instance being an exception), I do use the term. More often in referring to the philosophy and those who claim adherence to it (itself fraught given the lack of cohesion it and they exhibit).

Of the four cases of adherents I describe, only one is likely to be persuaded by facts and/or reason anyway, typical of any other faith-based religion which puts belief over evidence. So my success rate would of necessity be quite limited.

And the point at which you stop showing respect is the point at which I start calling you out for it on HN.

As I said: the lack of respect for facts and reason (of which there's a long personal history), and the tedium in repeatedly plowing that ground, is why I've resorted to a memetic shortcut which encapsulates if not elucidates the fundamental flaw. That said, while acknowledging your call out, it doesn't in the last bother me for the reasons stated above.
> So what? There are enough games with female protagonists.

I'm speaking to my own experience here. And my experience as a woman who prefers to play games as a female character is that there are not enough games with female protagonists that are not explicitly coded as "girly pink games about girly pink things". Which are generally not the kinds of games I like to play - I like the fast action reflex loops.

That's what. There are not enough games with female protagonists. And even most of the games that offer an option downplay the female option in all the advertising, make it an extra unlockable, etc. Yes, there are exceptions. I cherish them.

I think I'm gonna go pull out Bayonetta again and sigh wistfully.

edit: Oh yeah. And again, I can't speak for all women - but there are exactly three FPS games I've played to completion. They are System Shock 2, which stars a female AI and a completely ungendered protagonist, and Portal 1/2, which star a female AI and a female protagonist. If there were more manshoots that were not about being a man wandering around shooting other men, maybe I would play more of them. Or maybe not; due to my lack of interest in their narratives, I have little to no of the basic "put cursor on target, compensating for travel time" skill at the heart of manshoots, so they're pretty frustrating for me.

So the '324 is FBI on phone handset' comment, is this the FBI transferring $40M from Silk Road wallets to some other wallet? Or is it something else?

Also one wonders what is done with the 'evidence' after the case. I could imagine the FBI simply deleting the wallets but does anyone know their actual policy?

Go take your misinformed whining somewhere else. HTML5 does not have DRM. It merely standardized an API to allow media content to talk to a content decryption module. But there is no actual DRM in there.

You are right, though, that this will have a pretty big impact on the average user's web experience. Namely, it will let them view protected content without requiring proprietary plugins (e.g. Flash, Silverlight, etc). So it's pretty good for the average web user.

Both.

It is fair to do a detailed investigation of the fires as the regulator is fairly unfamiliar with high speed electric vehicle crashes and any resulting fires and so from the regulators perspective it is wise to be cautious, because if they get it wrong they could suffer considerable political fallout.

It is also fair for Tesla to feel that it is getting unfairly overscrutinised by the regulator, because it probably is compared to a manufacturer selling a similar number of petrol cars.

Take all their hardware, storage media and notes (including online data storage services); interrogate the person; find out what accounts (and 3rd party sites) were involved from various sources including that interrogation, analysis of stored data, and internet wiretaps/logs to obtain the neccessary credentials, and transfer those bitcoins to a separate wallet that the feds control.

If some bitcoins are stored at some 3rd party providers such as Mt Gox, subpoena them to freeze all such assets and transfer them to feds.
My initial reaction was that this does not meet the "viable" keyword.

However, in MVP, "viable" is from the customer perspective, not the business perspective. The MVP is viable for the customer to use, not necessarily viable for the business to continue providing in its minimal state.

I see no issues using Scala in a simple context. When you buy more equipment for your entertainment room you do not turn on all the devices at once, you use what you need.

From that perspective, it is very possible to right clean, maintainable, succinct, performant code in Scala with classes, case classes, pattern matching, immutable data structures and the stackable trait pattern. Scala 101 as far as I can tell is fairly obvious if you have done a lot of Java programming - you know where the pain points are and how Scala can shorten or eliminate the problem. I think something which would serve the great majority of Java developers as a better Java.

As a Scala newbie, I didn't find it hard to get there to understand how I can sunset my Java programming with Scala, and I'm having a hard time finding a reason to go back. The arguments against Scala (like yours) seem to often get lost in big ideas (being a lifelong musician myself Hickeys instrument talk was only marginally inspiring), whereas I'm looking at LOC and syntax and I really like what I see. I can do the same thing in Java, but with more effort.

I think the only benefit Java enjoys right now is better tooling. It still might be the best choice for large teams due to way it shoehorns development styles (and I actually don't mind coding it in at all, its pretty nice), but for my personal projects, I'm definitely focusing on Scala right now.
...if we were about to pay, we couldn't justify our out-of-scope decisions for anyone else.

What, are we in kindergarten? Does Prezi not have managers entrusted with taking decisions? They can run their bounty program however they want.

That they choose to run it in this fashion sends several messages in addition to the obvious, "we are obnoxious miserly prats". While hackers in white hats might be hearing "concentrate your efforts elsewhere", those in black hear exactly the opposite message. Many people who might previously have admired Prezi for their innovation and paid them money for their services, have now heard a reason to find other means to create presentations. Potential acquirers and potential hires have heard that this company's management finds running a bounty program challenging.

EDIT: Maybe I'm being too harsh. Apparently this is a largely Hungarian company; it's possible there are cultural misunderstandings in play. From a (perhaps cliched?) American perspective, however, following the rules is less important than accomplishing the goals of the program.

WHY OH WHY is polyphasic sleep so attactive? Read about it a little bit, and realize that it is totally, TOTALLY unnatural, nearly impossible to maintain for any length of time, and possibly dangerous to your long-term well-being.

If you are working on a submarine, then maybe polyphasic sleep is useful, because of the extraordinary circumstances. Otherwise, it is simply a bad idea.
