Units are quite easy to convert, but I think there are lots of obvious reasons this information was sought. First off it was really cheap to steal and had nearly zero risk (Israel has no way to prosecute anyone in China). Simply the psychological factor of knowing that your secrets could be known to anyone who wants them is justification for such a hack. Finding solutions to problems or weak points in the system are a nice cherry on top.

You should remove that. Otherwise, you should receive down votes.

Edit: For clarity's sake, you should remove the complaint about downvotes.
So it's hard to tell if the existing comments are trying to be snarky or if they just failed to explain their non-snarky intent, but they're getting voted down into an abyss and I would sincerely like to know what his political background is. So far my searches only yield people who are probably not the same Chris Beard. I do not mean this question to voice any particular opinion or as a commentary on the last CEO, but given the reason a new CEO was needed in the first place, I think it would be very interesting to see the political background of the person they chose as a replacement. Are they publicly pro-gay? Or have they been relatively neutral?
Relevant comment:

@wodim I adhered to the FB responsible disclosure procedure. FB replied saying they're already aware of the issue and closed the ticket.

I believe you are supposed to get notified when rated 4 or 5 regardless of whether you rated the other person at all.
Yes, that was the argument in Freakonomics and they're completely right.

The real estate market can be extremely receptive to low prices, so if you list your house very low, you're likely to sell it much faster. The bulk of the money the agents make will come from the part of the house that could sell very easily. If a house could sell for $200,000 today, but you have to have it listed six months before it could sell for $220,000 (which is unknown at the time, of course). The seller agent is going to make $6,000 of the $200k sale (3%) but will only make $600 more from selling it for an extra $20,000. And a lot of the time that 3% number is high. If they aren't a broker, they're splitting that 3% with someone else, so maybe the extra $20k sale price only nets them an extra $300 in their pocket.

When I was selling my house a few years ago, I talked with one agent that was recommended to me and he was so blatantly obvious in his desire to get commissions that I couldn't believe the people who recommended him failed to see that. He came in, refused to list the house for less than a 6% split (this is negotiable, 5% isn't uncommon at all) and wanted to LIST the house for around $8,000 less than what I actually sold it for a few months later. It wasn't that big of a house and was in an area with very affordable housing, so that extra $8,000 was high enough of a total % to make a huge difference.

Also, I'd venture that many people selling their houses still have a mortgage on the house, so the huge base commission the seller agent makes isn't even coming off of the owner's profit, it's coming of the amount they need to pay back the note.

You're all making this much too complicated. Who needs the client to make multiple requests when you control the server? Client does "GET /" and the server starts sending a large index.html using irregular sized packets at specific intervals.

But suppose we broke it, now we have to fix it, right? Start padding everything to power-of-two size boundaries with a minimum of 16. Or if that would make Tor traffic too identifiable, then instead add random()%packetsize padding to each packet. Either would reduce the number of detectable packet sizes below a 1500 byte MTU to 8 at the cost of less than doubling the bandwidth consumption.
Then the point stands. If a Russian researcher has an exploit on the 13th and thinks the prize is worth it, she'll enter. Why would anyone else enter? With that in mind, the proposed profit model seems unlikely.

I disagree. A political donation was the sole reason the previous CEO left that position. I think it's quite crucial for the future of Mozilla, not to mention an interesting insight into how this decision may have been reached internally, to see the public political record of the successor. I don't believe this question intended any snark or negativity whatsoever - it's a valid question, IMO.
> The question remains, however.

Wait, is it a real question or sarcasm? You seem to switch back and forth.

> Does he or does he not support the GLBT community. It was of such consequence to Brendan Eich that he was let go.

I don't think that's an accurate description. Eich's past public participation in a particular attack on equal rights targetting that community triggered a public controversy including publicized boycotts of Mozilla, but I don't think that there is any basis for concluding that he was let go because of his stance on LGBT issues rather than his perceived inability and/or unwillingness as CEO to manage a PR issue that was affecting Mozilla. (And even that may just have been the straw that broke the camel's back -- as I recall, there were reports that he was a controversial choice with split support on the board from the outset for reasons unrelated to the LGBT issue.)

> So it must be that Chris Beard does support this community.

Or that the actual issue around Eich is more complex than the what you are trying to simplify it to.
>But we took the analysis one step deeper. We asked: does the displayed match percentage cause more than just that first message—does the mere suggestion cause people to actually like each other? As far as we can measure, yes, it does.

Hm, that is unexpected. Wonder how long it will last.
> others might say "requirements for the candidate to not hold offensive, discriminatory political opinions".

Or just you know don't give significant amount of money to enshrine your offensive and discriminatory political opinions into law, expect open arms when nominated to head a company generally considered progressive then whine that it's unfair to scrutinise and criticise your actions.

It's the spirit ever since the term "hackaton" caught the attention of the employers and the events are organized by companies for their profit instead of hobbysts/enthusiasts just for fun.
chatmasta is talking about the _buyer's_ agent. In the US real estate market, the buyer's agent is typically paid a percentage of the sale price. So the buyer's agent has an incentive to convince the buyer to pay a higher price. They of course also have an incentive to convince the buyer to buy quickly, for the reason you said.

Oh, also the _seller_ is typically the party that actually pays the buyer's agent. Yes, this is pretty messed up.

Mike Masnick's AMA
Yikes 180/m may seem like a lot ... but in the world of data that is a very small amount of usage. Your site says "big data" so this limitation begs the question -- Are you big data (enterprise) or not?
You can have your content just fine without anyone taking it from you - just don't publish it. Wanting to both give the content to people and keep it to yourself at the same time is a bit contradictory IMHO. I'm not strictly against people being able to restrict how their content is used, but they definitely should have to explicitly state this. The content itself wants to spread and it will do so if left alone. Unlike your car, remember, which won't magically multiply so that every single person looking on it gets his own version. Anyway, if you want your content to be restricted in some way you should just say so, because what you want is unnatural and exceptional in case of content (and perfectly reasonable, natural and common place in case of your car, where, conveniently, you don't have to do anything if you happen to wan't it to not be stolen).

One person's marketing gold is another's marketing cheese.
Trademarks are classified by "Goods and Services". A bus company is clearly different from a mobile app. A mobile app (Instagram) is clearly the same as a mobile app (Bolt). For the purposes of trademarking, the similarity of a "mobile voice and messaging" app and a "mobile photo sharing" app is not quite as clear. I'm sure some lawyers would be happy to help clear it up.

So, while I get your intention, that's not how trademarks work. If Bolt doesn't have a trademark, they should stop complaining.
thanks for this. It came in just at the right time as I was looking into this.

I would also suggest not to look for a cofounder, per se. Try to get a working MVP and get some progress yourself. Even if you are a pure software guy, you are easily able to learn the 1x1 of business development as biz dev is nothing more than 0 and 1. :) I mean, the rules are the same for code & business. There are some variables, some loops, some functions, that is it.

I would not specifically search for a cofounder, but search for the right people who can help you to push the product, even without getting 30% of your company. people who like to talk about idea, help you with daily problem startup problems,...

within a very short time, you will learn much about people, how they act and you will soon find one or more people who are really interested in pushing you project forward.

just because i am curious - is the tool planned for the european or us market?
That's probably right. In which case it's comparison between "small SUV" and "crossover". I think the Lexus RX may be the former, unless they changed the platform from her 1st gen RX.
Unlikely. Facebook went overboard with it after hiding it from their users. OKC has always done this with their data, although I am more than a little disturbed by them showing deliberately bad data to their users.

Also who the hell though it was a good idea to have a dating site without pictures (even for 24 hours?)
> A political donation was the sole reason the previous CEO left that position.

No, I don't think that's a justifiable claim. A political donation was the trigger for a public controversy, which was a key event leading to the previous CEO leaving the position. The evidence does not, however, provide anything like clear support that the political donation itself was the sole reason that the CEO left the position.
Wow, this comment thread went full Reddit in record time.
Yes, this is a bad post.

It gets close to an interesting question (using multiple Google services can result in a domino effect if you violate the TOS of one).

But it raises so many peripheral points, and is so full of whiny after-the-fact juvenile justifications like the one you noticed, that it's impossible to filter out the interesting part.
It's not crazy. Guess what, sometimes publishing an app is more than just writing code. I've had to dig through them before too. Compared to what the iOS team has to deal with I consider it a pretty lightweight process.

If you just want to hack around with some code, then post the APK somewhere and tell your friends to download it. If you want to publish an app in an app store, that is a fundamentally different thing. It's not even engineering. This is what product managers and legal teams deal with at companies. If you are a solo app publisher, you still have to deal with it. You don't get to opt out of these costs just because it's not fun.

Those aren't even the right T&C. These are the developer ones, and they're even shorter.

Asking why you're being down voted is not the same as complaining about being down voted. If you legitimately don't know why I think you should ask. It's an opportunity to learn what is and isn't considered proper etiquette.

A functional CEO would remain so even in the face of an astroturfed outrage attack. Negative PR, including targeting persons rather than the company directly, isn't exactly a new feature of the business environment.
Chris Beard has already been (interim) CEO of Mozilla for three and a half months now: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/04/14/mozilla-moving-forw...

I would assume, though I could be proved wrong, that any of his political/social/religious/other positions that he or anyone else wanted to make public would be well known by now. (Remember that Brendan Eich's Proposition 8 donation was well known two years before he was promoted to CEO.)

My personal views, not necessarily shared by other Mozillians:

Brendan's support of Prop. 8 was part of both public record and common knowledge, including his public response to the 2012 controversy around it. With this knowledge, the MoCo board promoted him to CEO. Both this decision and his decision to step down were controversial because of his public political activity. Now, if a new CEO candidate had taken actions similar to Brendan's, that would reasonably affect their views and the board's (and Mozilla's staff, community, users, partners, etc.) about whether it would best serve the project for the board to name them CEO. Obviously, eyes on Mozilla in this regard. But it does not necessarily follow - as much as some people want it to - that every belief held by the new candidate must be suddenly made public and deemed relevant to their job.

I there's a version of the fundamental attribution error at work here [1]. People have decided that politicization of the CEO role is something intrinsic to Mozilla in particular, rather than something that would happen with any organization that put itself in a similar situation. (And conversely, not happen when the situation is not similar.) It truth, the same situation could repeat itself. But if it does, it's just as likely - probably more likely - to involve a different company and a different individual.

A lot of people think that the author deserved the punishment for his stupidity. However, I think he had an important point that needs to be discussed: that he was dismissed without a fair hearing and was banned for life from services unrelated to the one on which he committed the offense.

I think this is a growing problem that more people need to be aware of. We do not have the right to use modern marketplaces (such as the Google Play Store, Apple App Store, Google Adwords, AirBnB, Ebay, Uber, etc.) Instead, we have permission from corporations to use them. If an individual bases his livelihood on sales through one of these and then makes a mistake, the company is likely to ban him, destroying his income. There is currently no guarantee of due process or proportional punishment. When you are banned from the majority marketplace, one often has no real alternative. Can anyone make a living selling his goods on the second most popular auction site?

I think we need to fight for the right to due process and fair punishment online.
Show HN: MyLock Easy Encryption
The issue is letting your brand be accessible on some third party's (often) sub par app/platform, where you don't get access to data (often) and have little to no control on the UX. The tradeoff is app fatigue and a cluttered app store. It's hard to remember what app does what and many sit on your device rarely used since they become forgotten.
We've been playing with this architecture. It makes testing a lot easier - you just shove data in where needed and things pop out the other end. It also forces us into splitting things up in a more sensible manner. Along with easier testing is easier reasoning.

That said, like most new architectures/frameworks finding a big example (not just a TODO app) is really hard. We are currently prototyping a big app using React/Flux and we find ourselves having to question ourselves a lot more than we'd like.
I'm sorry but you're quite wrong. Fair Use under the USC is an exception allowing, primarily personal [but by no means exclusively], use of otherwise copyright material. Eg fair-use covers limited educational exceptions, incidental infringements (you take a photo and it happens to have a copyright protected work in that isn't the feature of the image), etc., etc..

Fair Use is a legal defence against a claim that you have tortuously infringed someone's copyright. The reason it works is because under Fair Use exceptions there is no tort committed, that is why you get off. It's _not_ the court saying "well you committed a tort against them but it was only a small one" it's the court saying that under the USC there has been no tort committed.

If someone died whilst you were defending yourself, you don't "get off" it's ajudged to be (and considered in the relevant code or statute) acceptable, you didn't murder them. If you murdered them and you win on a legal-defence of "self-defence" then there was a miscarriage of justice.

There are many good guides, http://copyright.columbia.edu/copyright/fair-use/what-is-fai... - note in particular the penultimate para on balance. Even some commercial uses are judged "fair use" just as educational or library uses aren't always allowed. For example Google are allowed to show thousands of DeNiro images on their site under a fair use exception (eg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_10,_Inc._v._Google_Inc.).

IMO the de minimis use of single, low-pixel size, established cultural images for avatars where there is no actual commercial harm to the image maker and perceivably no commercial gain in the meets with the balanced consideration of the 4 characteristics of fair-use material.

Relevant bit from the article:

Google explicitly states that any new accounts created by you will be immediately terminated. Google tracks everything you do. They track all the IP addresses you access your accounts from. They read your mail and track your location, they read your docs, they know your credit card numbers and home and work addresses. They also know who your friends are and who you chat with and email. It’s possible, but incredibly difficult to fool their surveillance.

His Google Music account was cancelled as well. And one could imagine, easily, Google launching a platform (Google Fraud Detection) to allow 3rd parties to determine if a developer or system is suspect--which in turn could result in blackballing for everyone.

Apparently not, and it seems that question was settled long ago. I'd say every "side" of this story definitely agrees that Brendan, and the reasons he was removed from the position, are VERY relevant to who can and will hold the position of CEO at Mozilla.

So, while it's a bit sad, I don't think there can be discussion of Mozilla's CEO for some time into the future without the related discussion of Brendan Eich.
To be clear, I was referring to the complaint about down votes, not the comment itself. Complaining about down votes is expressly called out as something that should not be done.
