Authy founder here (we do Two-Factor Auth for Coinbase).

Looks like you didn't have Two-Factor enabled https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6947037). Enable it now. We've stopped lots of Coinbase account password compromises. Most of the time we see that the e-mail was hacked.

Do the following:

1. Enable Two-Factor Authentication on your e-mail.

2. If you use GMail, go to Settings -> Forwarding POP/Imap. Check that no "weird" addresses are added to your account.

3. Change your E-mail password.

4. Change your Coinbase password.

If you have Two-Factor enabled we can also temporarily block your account if you suspect a hacker is trying to get into it. Contact us at support@authy.com and we'll block it.

Great post. However there is 1 great utility missing:

Interestingly, the store side of Amazon appears to only use HTTPS for pages requiring credentials or those directly involved in a transaction. Try to view a product under HTTPS: it will redirect to HTTP. Session cookies can be intercepted and certain actions (adding an item to your wishlist, for example) can be completed without https. It seems that even with their compute resources Amazon has deemed the cost of deploying HTTPS on every page to be prohibitive.
Disagree with almost everything this guy wrote.

99% of startups and in house business apps will never need to scale at a level that an RDBMS can't support. We should all be so lucky to have the success that brings these horizontal scalability problems.

Also, I hope he lets us know what kind of incredible data he end up mining from his mouse movement logs. Surely every website and app on planet Earth has completely exhausted basic solutions like A/B testing and usability testing to make their apps better. The only solution now is to embark on a data mining expedition so that artificial intelligence will tell us how to make better software.
I highly recommend the above advice. 2-factor auth is a simple step that hugely increases security. You must have it on your email at minimum - since having access to your email typically gives you access to many accounts connected to your email - and probably most of your financial accounts.

I might also encourage Coinbase to limit the maximum dollar value of transfer from an account to, say, $100 per day until someone enables two-factor auth. Typically people have very poor security habits, and strongly encouraging them to improve them will help both users and Coinbase's reputation.
Ignoring the fact the main focus of the following website is a world away from anything HN-related, perhaps you might find the following article, from an ex-journalist, on the subject of crafting press releases helpful:

(Disclosure: although involved in rocknrollbride.com, I didn't write the article)
Yes! The war dialling in this movie was great, as was the hacking (or 'cracking' if you're gonna be precious about it). Also there's a scene where David needs to make a call without change and hacks a payphone using a technique that worked IRL.

Arguably one of the only two truish-to-life hacker movies ever made (the other of course being Sneakers, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105435).
It is similar to any post-war country chasing the people who collaborated. In a sense, justice has to be made; in the other, the war courts usually assign surprising low penalties. The reason is, once the war is won, there's only revenge in penalizing losers.

... but the "war" of privacy is yet to be won. So chasing individuals for collaboration may be too early.
You can still have an open and secure currency that's protected by the law. It would follow a minarchist philosophy that protects two parties from breach of contract.
I like the automatic time tracking, but why is this a web service? I'd prefer not to send data to a remote service unless necessary, and I can see absolutely no reason why this should be a remote service.
It's a cargo cult thing - people think "if I do like Google, I will be successful like Google!"

Data is getting bigger, sure. Movies in HD, umpteen-megapixel cameras, yadda yadda in the consumer space, but hardware is getting bigger too, for the same price. You can easily buy a terabyte drive now. My first HD was 20M and I thought I'd never need anywhere near that much!

But in the corporate space - where is this data actually coming from? If you have a company selling widgets, then by how many orders of magnitude do your sales have to increase before you have to worry about "big data"? Most companies could probably handle a tenfold increase in sales on their existing systems, even if those systems haven't been updated in a few years. Bread and butter software work is not going to change in the foreseeable future, it'll just have a different set of buzzwords.
When asked, vast majority of businesses say IP is not important
I agree. If you can solve the problem in a reasonable amount of time on current high-end hardware, it's not a big problem. If the only way to meet demand is by distributing the solution, then you can start calling it a big problem.
let's hope this doesn't go the way french breast implants went in the not too distant past!
If they have to be SLD then there's not really anything you can do as to avoid the number of individual certs.

In terms of cost two obvious choices arise:

* Maybe look into becoming a cert reseller?
* Make your own CA. You could then bundle, but you'd still need the individual certs either way.
Can't decide what to watch? I built this to help.
Because Muni is incredibly slow--I can walk from Fort Mason to Market Street faster than I can take a bus, and that's with a foot injury that has me limping and unable to stand by the end of the walk--and doesn't go anywhere useful. Caltrain is slow and expensive, lets off a several mile hop from Google, and requires an hour or more on the aforementioned awful Muni bus to get to the starting part.

If the public transit was functional, like in DC or NYC or Boston, we'd use it.
Although he mentions Hyper-V Virtual Machines, the real winner for me is VMware Player (http://www.vmware.com/in/products/player/). Its just like a audio/video player but for Virtual Machines.
You have very specific legal questions. You absolutely 100% need to talk to a lawyer.

Yeah, good bit of software, usually end up installing it. However....

As I currently dont have it installed I thought I would do so having been reminded by this. Highlighted paint.net and right clicked. Of course chrome wanted to go to paint.net, rather than search for it. Far enough, but absent mindedly I clicked in "go to", and my AV software went mental. The site paint.net seems to be highly dodgy.

So, yes, great bit of software, people should use and support it. Just be careful about where you go to get it. As should be obvious by this thread people need http://www.getpaint.net/
No, that's breach of contract. It has nothing to do with criminal law or legality.

You seem to be conflating civil and criminal law.

(Also, there is no employment contract in the world that gives up at-will, so ", or be fired" sentences aren't even breaches generally.)
Reading their website (http://www.carmatsa.com/index.php?option=com_flexicontent&vi...), as near as I can tell, they're basically claiming to be "closest yet" to a real heart, including "auto-regulation", which I think means they're saying it can beat faster or slower as you need more or less bloodflow.

The scariest thing is that they also boast a significant increase in battery life ... to 12 hours. Jesus, I get angry when my cell phone dies after 12 hours.
It is indeed rather nice. However I just started using PyCharm and it's on a whole other level:

There are some CAs don't charge for certs, so unless you want an EV cert or something silly, them?
Err I think you badly misread that... jarnix didn't say tables are bad, just that 100% width tables are easy to implement yourself. Zurb Ink uses tables too.
I would take a Spanish class on the side and focus your hiring efforts on bilingual people.

I certainly don't think that learning Spanish is your #1 priority.
IANASE, but that should work, so long as you're diligent about keeping everything that requires a login quarantined to a separate subdomain. Once you leak a cookie over to the public side, it's over.

There is also this:

> The NSA and its British counterpart, the GCHQ, spied on the official in charge of the European Commission's antitrust office, which has threatened Google with large fines and has already levied punitive fees from Microsoft and Intel, a new report says.

...from this article: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-57616173-38/nsa-spied-on-e...

This and my other example are recent enough to have come from the Snowden documents.
I was incredibly excited by this, but the article mentions that another company, SynCardia already has a thousand of these devices deployed into Production.
Why you should use IPython
Yes, I've found this too. Comments that are useful to more than just the original author tend to be at least 2-3 sentences long. It's hard to fit that many sentences into 80 characters, a total which is already being eaten away by indentation and comment prefix. (For example, your average C# function will be indented 2 stops. C++ member function declarations will be indented 1 or 2 stops. In both these cases you also lose 2 or 3 chars from the leading "//" or "// ".)

Before I used Comment Reflower, I used one of the example VBA macros that comes with Visual Studio. It was rather slow, and somewhat buggy (you're much, much better of with Comment Reflower) but it would - usually - word wrap your comments without making too much of a mess. But I noticed my comments improving in quality pretty much the moment I started using it, because finally I could say as much as needed to be said without it being a bother to keep things nicely formatted, or having to even think about the effort of keeping it up to date later.
It would most likely create legal issues [1]. Start by reading the employment agreement contract you signed with them when joining. More likely than not, and depending on where you are located, you already have an issue now since your side project is related to the employers line of business.

If the side project is of significant value to you, I would recommend pulling out your employment agreement, reading it yourself [2], and consulting a lawyer.

I think a win-win situation here would be for you to license the project to the company, where the license terms specifically limits their rights to what they need to solve their current problem at hand, and allows you to continue working on it. This can also save them time and effort.

[1] Note: IANAL, though am generally very aware of IP issues. Have read two books on the subject.

[2] These agreements are notable for using very long sentences, but are always very well crafted to be precise. You should not have an issue interpreting them right if you are a good software developer. They also use some specific terms though that you may need to learn. Wikipedia does a good job of explaining all of these. A term "related to the business" is amongst ones that are relatively undefined, i.e., it remains unclear from the agreements what is related and what is not [3].

[3] The term may be used in a much broader way than you think. Everything computers and electronics may be considered related as it all falls under the same trademark code. Yet, related may be used to imply only that that competes with the business.
I wonder if this is because a few very large companies hog all the IP to themselves. In other words, only a few specialists like Proctor and Gamble really put any emphasis on this in their business. That's why they mentioned that grocery stores are an IP intensive business, because they are filled with products from Kraft Foods, P&G, and a few other large multinational companies who are very dependent on branded products.

Most businesses, although they do have a brand to protect, put a lot more emphasis on quality and service. They don't need to worry if someone else sells the same product under a different brand, because buyers are not fooled by the lower quality and poor service products that knockoffs peddle. There are only a few industries like clothing where knockoff products can get traction in the market.
On that note, it's important to set your expectations correctly on new medical technology. Early heart transplants were considered a success if the patient survived surgery long enough to wake up; it took a lot of work to go from that to many-year survivals.

I'm rooting for whoever got the first one of these off the line, but if he throws a clot and dies next week, keep in mind this shit is hard. Hopefully they'll work out any problems that develop, iterate on the product, and by the time most of us need one of these, they'll have 20-, 30-, 40-year survivals under their belts.
What is it about Thailand that causes it to be so thoroughly mapped compared to every other country in the region?
The China Study also involves a large population of people who have historically had a calorically restricted diet.

There are simply too many broad variables in culture, history and genetics for the China study's claims to be valid. You can't compare two types of diets when one group is heterogenous and the other group is homogenous, and if both were homogenous or both were heterogenous, you'd have to draw subjects from the same population.
There are people who think they are doing a good job breaking and messing people up.

Well payed people too, some are probably reading hacker news. Still working and toiling at NSA/FRA whatever, and thinking "damn those plebians why cant they understand what we do is cool is good, we mighty advanced than our enemies"
You don't think this stuff is already actively being used?

I guess if until this point you didn't know such things could be done, then this could freak you out to a point.

That, and people can ask Google to take out any depictions of their property if they so desire. That is part of an agreement between Google and a Hamburg official responsible for privacy issues.
Google received 200k+ formal objections from house-owners to remove/pixelate their properties for privacy concerns. This caused a huge delay and as far as i know they're not planning to add any new cities anytime soon.
Not evil/lazy - after all, what could be less lazy than spending all that time pressing return and reformatting your comments? Just, to my mind, a bit unusual.

Manual word wrapping reminds me of the days before copy and paste and undo, which (due to my age) thankfully didn't last all that long for me. I personally do not want ever to go back to that time, though I suppose for some the idea might seem attractively quaint ;)
But maybe other Germans would guess a different percentage?

The Stasi perfected the technique, but that doesn't mean that anybody who uses it is on par with the Stasi. Psyching people out is natural human behavior. Heck, even Arnold Schwarzenegger figured out that stealing Mike Katz' lucky shirt before a competition might take off a few points.

Applebaum is probably less worried about his stuff being moved around to harass him and more worried about obtaining new computer hardware and a new place to live at this point. I really doubt that the main purpose of this attack was harassment.
Well, three alarm systems were shut down when he returned. Maybe, one of them was such one.

Still, if he noticed the changes right away he should have pressed charges against persons unknown so the police would examine his apartment for clues.
Ruby is also usable, as are a few other languages. Unfortunately you need to compile Vim with support for a given language if I recall correctly. VimScript is the only extension language available to all versions of Vim, so that's a consideration if you intend to share your creations.

That said, it's possible that a large percentage of people use a Vim binary with Python/Ruby/etc. support. I have no idea what the usage statistics are.
I see this sort of story being the downfall of bitcoin. Once a few of these things happen, trust will be lost in it and the bubble will deflate.

(Out of interest, did you "make money" from bitcoin, when it was going up)

Great points.

I would add to #1 that since the tool is clearly related to the line of business of the company, even working on it outside the work hours may not be enough to keep it isolated.

So if some agreement is worked out with the employer on use of this tool, the same agreement may further include provisions for keeping it isolated.

For #2. Not sure how this would help, but it is also possible to release the source of the tool while still retaining full rights to it (i.e., release without a FOSS license). This can prevent the third parties from using the tool, and "may" provide some protection from the employer as evidence of what was developed before using it for work.

Note: IANAL.

Well then perhaps one should explain their stance better. This drive by "bah. X sucks, use Y" is the slow heat death of well reasoned and informed debate and discussion.

Most eCommerce sites do not deploy SSL site-wide, but only on login and checkout actions. Look at Amazon, Wayfair, etc. Depending on how the site was coded, you can mitigate session hijacking over HTTP. I'd love to see examples of Amazon session hijacking because product browse pages are simply over HTTP, I think you'll find that it's not possible to hijack those sessions.
No it's not, it's literally $0. https://startssl.com/?app=1

Yes, I wonder though if books with interview prep sections like this aren't used more by the employers in later years as a reference for good interview questions to ask rather than programmers actually trying to prepare for interview questions they may be asked.
Don't know about you, but my heart needs a charge every six hours and it goes in hibernation mode every 12 hours.

Agreed. Nolo books are very basic.

The following is much better and does talk about many corner cases. It also is written specifically for the software-development case.

http://www.amazon.com/Intellectual-Property-Open-Source-Prot...

The book is written by software developers turned lawyers, and provided me with some fresh perspectives on the nature of the law itself.
StartSSL will let you do a multi-domain wildcard cert for $75 for 2-years (with identity verification). You toss all of your root domains on a single cert as wildcards, and use it everywhere. Cert lasts for 2 years and can be updated at any time to add new wildcard domains to it. You could in theory get 4 years out of it by adding a domain on the last day if your identity verification 2-year cycle, which refreshes the 2 years on the cert.

I use this method and it is awesome. One big multi-domain wildcard cert for everything.
This seems like a cool idea. What was your need for this solution if you don't mind me asking? Developing a library?
I agree, this is the one little app I find indispensable.
A US Internet activist and one of the people with access to Edward Snowden's documents, has told a Berlin paper that his apartment was broken into, saying he suspected US involvement.

GMAFB. The Snowden documents would be hugely valuable to _any_ government or large criminal organization (think drug cartels) that could get their hands on them. If you admit you have access to them you are painting a target on your back for groups beyond just the US government.

Little tip: If you don't want the news to be released before a given date, do not send out a press release before this date.

If you want to brief journalits before an official release date, do it in person and use a NDA. Otherwise it will not work (might not even work with an NDA).

Edit: And: The format will not help your chances getting published. Interesting content sent to the right audience will help you get published.
I don't agree on big data part. But I certainly agree on not innovating and not have a solid plan. MS doesn't have any plan, their biggest problem is they don't like to innovate and instead just love to jump on the bandwagon of any trend. I mean what's the point of Silverlight? Adobe Flash is already dominated market. Instead of focusing on HTML5, they just built another thing like Flash.

MS needs innovation and solid plan; not jumping on the band wagon of next hot topic.
I've worked on a number of teams that were all male - other than me, of course. In some cases, I had no issues related to the fact that I'm female. In other cases, I encountered males who assumed that I was incapable of performing the job, simply because I was female - and told me so. And even when I proved myself as capable as them - or more - I was constantly challenged/tested verbally on my technical capabilities in ways that the males were not. A few people continually told me that I was hired/retained/promoted simply because I was female. . .even after I had proven myself to be as capable - or more - than they.

That's quite a mental/emotion drain that males on all/predominantly male teams don't face - at least regarding their gender. And since all/predominantly female teams are rare in tech, it's a situation that male techies will rarely, if ever face, or even need to contemplate - at least regarding their gender.

So, I would be curious because I would wonder if I might encounter sexism on the team - sexism at a level that would drain/distract me. Well, I never let it distract me, but it was certainly draining.
On the California Labor Code:

Note that this specifically mentions "inventions". Inventions are clearly distinct from copyrights, to which software is subject to. It is unclear if the labor code was intending to mean all forms of IP including copyrights.

Also, in this case now, the side project is clearly related to the employers line of business.

Note: IANAL
