> Should there be the same laws kick in if they drive the price up, by say, adding fake orders on their exchange? I don't even think that should be illegal.

I strongly agree, and I do believe that there's price manipulation going on with the Gox situation at the moment. Is it just an attempt by Gox to make some money back? Or is it something far bigger aimed at damaging the reputation of BTC? Don't forget that Karpeles has recently been vulnerable to manipulation from the USG [1].

But It's surprising that you wouldn't want BTC, when on the road ahead lies Open Transactions, distributed exchanges, and so much more innovation that will take your above statement and put it directly into code. Thus making these wall-street tactics obsolete.

>>I was part of the team helping to coordinate between the other exchanges to ensure that they could quickly resume operations which they did no more than 48 hours later. Some exchanges were in fact completely unaffected, revealing as false Gox’s claims that this was a bug in bitcoin.

I don't think that reveals anything about what happened in MtGox. Also, don't know if anyone's noticed... but mtgox.com has a message now. http://i.imgur.com/YDONE4d.png

And note the word "DONE" in that imgurl URL. Ominous...
Because that's all we actually know and anything else would be gross speculation.
That doesn't mean you can't make it harder for the attacker.

Nobody is saying that Apple's wealth should mean they have no bugs. However, it does mean that they should have reasonable test coverage of critical security code.

I'm interested to hear from other YC members and alum but when I went through an incubator and we talking about pitches etc talking about total addressable market in this way was really a no no under the idea that it made you look amateur. We were told the best approach and more realistic approach was to start from the bottom up instead of top down.

I think it was one of the reasons that helped us realize what our true potential was and plan accordingly instead of saying we are going after the 100 Billion dollar travel market or whatever.

When you are put into the Vortex you are given just one momentary glimpse of the entire unimaginable infinity of creation, and somewhere in it a tiny little mark, a microscopic dot on a microscopic dot, which says, "You are here."

MTV Artist The Waatcher – Ferngully Single Release
Learning functional programming is not trivial, especially if you come from the imperative paradigm. Haskell was my first language and I still struggled not to think procedurally in the beginning , and the type-checker refused almost all of my programs. But after a while you start to get less and less type errors, and soon types will be your friend and guide you when writing programs.

I have to say though; static types itself doesn't prevent bugs, they only prevent common errors. But if you got an expressive type system like Haskell (or OCaml etc.) you can write well-typed programs. A great example is Yesod[0], which is a web framework completely designed around being well-typed.

0. http://www.yesodweb.com/

EDIT: Okey, "well-typed" may not be the right term. TAPL calls every program that pass the type-checker well-typed so what I meant is programming written type-safe.
Part of the issue is the wide spectrum of code of Haskell that people write. Beginners to Haskell will write code that is very radically different from the code that more experienced programmers write. Not to say that code that one writes in the style of Learn-You-Haskell or Real-World-Haskell level is bad but there is a wide range of choices of how to write Haskell.

Haskell also tends to also have a wide gap between beginner material and advanced material and not a whole lot in between. Some beginners will often come and see advanced discussions about the lens library for instance and will assume that they need to learn the lens library in order to program in Haskell. This just leads to disaster since it's nearly impossible for beginners to decipher the type error messages that come out of it until they grok the type system at a more advanced level.

This is likely what they are looking at. Start with a program everyone uses, but isn't critical production system, evaluate the language and get people familiar with the language. Follow it up with some more rewrites and eventually give up on the old C++.
One trouble with that is that the "source dump" style of open source that Apple engages in doesn't really attract eyeballs very well. Sure, you can go read the source, but it's hard to do much with it. It's hard to tinker with it, since Apple doesn't provide any good facilities for installing the stuff into the system. There's no place to send patches. You can send in bug reports if you find anything, but why would you bother when it's so hard to contribute code?

If you're interested in security and hacking on security code, OpenSSL would be a much better choice just because you can potentially become part of it, not just an observer.
One of the things I picked up from "How to Read a Book" (where they put forward that speed reading is usually just bringing slow readers up to speed), is that not everything is worth reading. There is so much to read out there, that you can't possibly read it all (relevant: http://what-if.xkcd.com/76/), and you have to pick and choose. One way to weed out what is relevant is to apportion the correct amount of time and attention to each thing you read. Some things deserve none of your time and attention; others may merely require a once through skimming to get everything of value out of it. Other works you may never exhaust (HtRaB's authors posit that only great books fall into this category, by definition). Perhaps much more important than increasing the speed of reading is developing the skill to be discerning in what and how deeply different texts should be read.
Given that I summarized the pretty-simple point from the previous conversation, if you really think that's wrong you should say why. The Internet has this core problem that people don't learn from discussions and then keep saying things that are clearly, obviously, and even trivially false, giving emotional weight to ideas that actively harm the understanding of others. I mean: look at yourself... in addition to not responding to the specific factual detail I laid out, you are refusing to even take thirty seconds to find the previous discussion yourself... this is work you should have done before ever coming here to post something on this subject... it is the basic, core due diligence that I would argue is not just a courtesy but a responsibility for those who join online discourse :/. This "you may have said something factual, but damn it I like being angry at people for no reason, so I'm going to ignore what you said and pull the 'you are trying to steer the conversation' card" is ridiculous... facts should steer conversations :(.

This is so very true, OpenSSH is probably one of the most secure pieces of software around. It has extremely high value to attackers, yet has had extremely few remote security holes in its lifetime.

They've invested years and many talented people in developing such a piece of software.

Everyone on this thread is being way too nice about this guy. He deserves to go to jail for a very long time.
He knowingly took money from people even after problems were discovered, and said nothing about it. And after the implosion he has still not fessed up to the truth! He deserves what he gets. I'm sure a movie will be made about this debacle st some stage in the future, but this chap doesn't get to become a motivational speaker in the end.
I am going through exactly the same wave of emotions at this time. I go through them every year or two and eventually it fades away. There`s nothing that triggers them, it is more just something that grows quietly untill it`s too big to ignore.

Every time I`m afraid that it will be permanent, which drives me to do things that are out of my comfort zone. Usually that thing indeed ends up being travel or making plans to travel.
I`ve learned to embrace it because it leads to big spurts of innovation and creativity, but eventually that feeling fades away and the whole cycle is repeated.

I haven`t talked with a psych, because it eventually goes away automagically, but I just figured that it probably wouldn`t hurt, so I`m going to make an appointment right now because of this post.

I can only say that I can relate with 90% of what you`ve described. If we`re going through the same emotions, you can be sure it can be diagnosed. Maybe you too should get some closure from a professional.

Good luck!
Distributing threads and processes across available cores is the job of the OS, not the application.
This is what I was thinking as well. An account isn't even necessary, just have a two step process on Formspree.

1. Enter your e-mail address. Click next.

2. Copy the generated code, //api.formspree.com/Kn2JanlPkZ into your form as the action. Obviously this code and e-mail combination is then stored in the Formspree database.
I wonder if it is an instinctive reaction:

a large new space has a lot of unknowns -> some of these unknowns could be dangerous -> a very large new space has a lot more unknowns -> very large spaces are to be feared.

This is based on nothing more than my imagination, but seems like a sensible evolutionary precaution.

The fun thing to think about is whether or not you can guarantee that the update you receive is actually from Apple and not someone sending you a fake via MITM.

Sure, they show a SHA1 on this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1726 but that could be MITM'd as well.

Yeah, the problem with gmail is not gmail itself, but rather its success. If everyone/a majority/too many people use(s) gmail, that puts google into a position where they would be able to change the system unilateraly, that is why I think it's stupid when people, in particular people who should know better, use gmail. Well, plus the fact that google has plenty of motivation to hinder privacy in emails because their business case is built on reading your emails, which makes it all the more scary that they could get into a position to dominate email.

Other than that: Oh, I hope you are right! But don't underestimate network effects - people were also stupid enough to let Microsoft lock them into word documents, which indeed were practically irreplacable for quite a while, and to a degree still are.

Yes, we get it... MtGox / Gox doesn't know what they are doing. Trying to reuse certificates is not a good way get people to believe that you understand server security.

Honestly, at this point, I don't know of what they could possibly do to get their customers confidence back let alone the wider bitcoin community.

And this has been big enough of a cluster-fsck to cause the skeptical public that isn't using bitcoin to stay away from it like the plague.

Why does this matter? The browser isn't even at bankofamerica.com, it is at bankofamericaa.com: it "adds insult to injury", but it doesn't affect the attack. No browser would notice, even with the fanciest watchdog services and certificate pinning, that the certificate of an unrelated website is "authentic" or not. The only way you are going to notice the name being wrong is if the user opens the certificate details dialog and reads the content; do you seriously think someone is going to do this and not look at the URL ;P? What this bug makes possible are not the age-old "wrong URL" attack, but an active MITM on the real URL.

This sort of reminds me of the services that would help you sell your crap on Ebay back in the day. Or even agencies that help manage your AdWords campaigns.

On one hand, I think we'll see more of these "management layer" businesses on top of other services (I have a couple friends who make good side money building out sqaurespace sites for people).

On the other hand, it seems opposed to where the actual service will head. AirBnB wants it to be easy to rent your place out. They will keep making their tools/calendar easier to update. They will keep looking for ways to improve logistics (cleaning, key exchange). That's the risk, IMO.

If YC liked it enough to invest, there must be something to it. But, unless it's an acquisition to AirBnB play, I'm not sold.

This, he writes, might force "monopolistic" public transit
systems to become more efficient by eliminating the
possibility of route swapping--like by charging a flat
rate per trip, as New York City’s Metropolitan Transit
Authority does.

Or they could adopt a fee per minute of travel, or a fee for entering or exiting a turnstile, as regardless of the ticket swaps the number of travel minutes and turnstile turns remains constant.

Alternately, if they switched to an unmarked electronic ticket, so you couldn't tell if someone was offering you a valid or invalid ticket, the information asymmetry could cause bad tickets to drive out the good.
It's not a case of the wheel needing to be round enough. The wheel is old and has not been able to keep pace. We have many people walking aside the wagon repairing the wheel at every turn. Those people are the current browsers. The wagon is the current technology and the people going along for the ride can see just how painful this is.

Anyone who has attempted to implement trivial things, like thematic scrollbars or cross-browser capable code, or dealt with dom thrashing via JavaScript, knows the amount of effort going in (or knowledge required) to do trivial things is ridiculous; considering how long we've been travelling down this road. Why are we still using a wagon? And why do we want to build more of them running in parallel?
It is very easy to get a lock icon on bankofamericaa.com and to get your browser to insist you are speaking to the real bankofamericaa. What makes this bug interesting is you can get a lock icon for a fake website on bankofamerica.com using a MITM attack: making convincing "secure" websites on alternative URLs has always been possible.

Peter Norvig's 9 Master Steps To Improving A Program
"Some exchanges were in fact completely unaffected, revealing as false Gox’s claims that this was a bug in bitcoin."

This reveals a lack of objectivity here. There IS a bug in bitcoin. There are workarounds, and some exchanges implemented those properly.

Of course, MtGox should have followed best practices and implemented a workaround, but the above sentence is - on its face - flawed and biased. The fact that some exchanges were immune to the bug does NOT mean that bitcoin bears no fault or that Gox's claims are false. This was and is, in fact, an acknowledged and widely known bug in bitcoin.

This bug was pretty serious. I'd better be extra careful and install and verify this myself.

Oh, good: there's a standalone installer available (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1726). But the download is served over HTTP. Maybe I can
just try the same URL with HTTPS:

$ curl --head https://support.apple.com/downloads/DL1726/en_US/OSXUpdCombo10.9.2.dmg
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Server: Apache/2.2.24 (Unix)
Location: http://download.info.apple.com/Mac_OS_X/031-3279.20140225.Zzasf/OSXUpdCombo10.9.2.dmg

Nope. Well, at least I can verify the SHA1 sum displayed on the download page. Wait, no, that was served over HTTP, too.

Okay, I'll follow Apple's instructions for checking the certificate fingerprint in the installer (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5044).
But that page (Last modified November 2011) displays a different fingerprint (9C864771 vs FA02790F)...and that fingerprint was also served over HTTP.

It doesn't seem like something that can easily quantified fairly. It's also worth noting the Tesla is over $30,000 more expensive than the most expensive winner out of the other categories.
Using Sketch like a boss
This got famous because:

- It really is a severe bug in a major platform (and by that I mean iOS not MacOS)

- It is easy to understand once spotted, so everybody who can read code in the entire planet can write about how stupid Apple is because they refuse to see the light and switch over to their favorite pet language/coding standard/methodology

- The NSA has massive MITM capabilities and is known to sabotage American products and this looks like a very, very convenient bug to have for them, leading to speculation that this could not be a mistake

- Apple haters.
Yeah, speaking of conspiracy theories, why is no one kicking around the possibility of sabotage from established banks? and/or governments?
