Not contradictory at all. Because IPO is such a lucrative investment, each round of IPOs can draw as much as several trillion CNY. This amount of money would have to be withdrawn from the stock market to "cool it down".
This is totally ridiculous. The man is a veteran software architect. When you're a veteran software architect, you don't NEED the source code. The only thing it tells you is a few syntactical idiosyncrasies of whatever language/framework you happened to implement it in, and it saves you time in typing it out.

Ask anyone who is familiar with GS's code base whether they would rather start fresh or have GS's code base. I've done this, and you can tell from my tone what they said.

I've also been on the other side of such a case; someone copied some code I'd written. Guess what, they couldn't get it to work because they didn't understand how it worked.

I suspect the jury is composed of people who are easily talked into a "cooking recipe" view of how software works. Well, just as I'm not going to be a Michelin chef from copying a recipe, you are also not going to know how to design an HFT system if you don't have a deeper understanding of how it works. Or maybe more to the point: there are plenty of people who copy recipes and make tasty food (my parents are quite good at this, actually). They don't get paid what a Michelin chef gets paid, because a Michelin chef is not a guy who just mixes some ingredients according to a formula.

And SSL should be used in those cases. I'm not saying you should never use SSL, I just don't buy the idea that you need to encrypt everything. Due to all the unencrypted bits like the IP address and DNS (and SNI?), sniffers can already guess what domains you're visiting anyway. Encrypting in those gives nothing that signing the plain text wouldn't.

I really don't find anything they did to be morally reprehensible. They didn't use a DMCA, but even if they did this isn't some idealist fantasy world. Not to mention that there's a legitimate use to DMCA. I'd consider it too.

If you're talking about the fact that they logged in to the scammers accounts, I'm not going to fault them for that. I'd do it too if I had the chance. I'm not going to sit by and let that happen to me. There's no legal recourse that can help you, the laws and enforcement agencies are too far behind. Hell, in the US we have people that don't use email dictating laws on internet regulations.

Location: Louisville, Kentucky

The company I work for, Techshot (http://techshot.com/), is currently looking to fill a couple of positions. We're a small contract engineering firm located just outside Louisville, in Greenville, Indiana. We focus on high-tech development, with most of our contracts coming from the government. We do a ton of work for NASA, DoD, NHS, and others, in addition to corporate and start-up clients.

We've been in business for 25 years, sent multiple payloads up on the Space Shuttle, built several new medical devices, and spun off a business making rugged LED lighting. We recently sent a payload up to the ISS, and we're under contract to deliver several more! With only 36 employees, it's a great work environment, with lots of schedule flexibility, and freedom to "go your own direction" with projects. We're currently looking to fill two positions: A Software Engineer and a Machinist.

Machinist Posting (http://techshot.com/documents/Machinist%20Posting%201_19_15....)

Looking for a general purpose machinist who can turn parts around rapidly when necessary. We shop out a lot of stuff, but sometimes we need to make things quick. If you have less experience than requested, but can demonstrate the ability to learn quickly, it's still worth applying.

Software Engineer Posting (http://techshot.com/documents/Software%20Engineer%203_13_15....)

Any software engineer would need to be reasonably comfortable with low-level interfacing with hardware. Embedded development experience a huge plus. Our software interacts with lower-level embedded device we've developed in-house, giving users a nice front-end interface, and offloading some of the heavy computational lifting.

I'm an Electrical Engineer here, and I can pretty confidently say that it's a great job for a technically curious engineer. There isn't a lot of opportunity to move "up the management chain" within the company, but the work environment is super-flexible, the projects are technically interesting and challenging, and the current team is intelligent and motivated.

If you have any questions about the company, job postings, or would like to submit your resume/cover letter, send me an email, bluyster@techshot.com.

Karma Labs, Inc. - Los Angeles, CA

We're hiring a full time full stack javascript engineer. Express/restify on the back, React on the front. MongoDB and Redis.

Employee number #7 (counting the founders), Engineer #3 (counting the CTO). Ideally this position will grow into leadership but can stay pure code if that is your thing.

Karma is launching technology that unifies your online reputation and lets you use across the sharing economy (Craigslist, Airbnb, eBay etc). Fun stuff, if you like javascript.

If you'd like more info, hit us up. hello AT havekarma{dot}[com] with "Hacker News Job" on the subject.
I have launched a simple iOS app, called Tomorrow, that allows you to record inspiring messages to yourself today, and you receive it tomorrow. The following day, the messages are gone. It's based on an idea to inspire your future self by tuning into your own voice. Tomorrow captures fleeting moments of inspiration and motivation while focusing on the person that is most influential in your life, you. I'd appreciate any feedback.
Please take this in the spirit it is intended:

I would never under any circumstances ever share personal information with a company that behaved as you have documented.

You believe this guy has scammed you so you went through his personal artifacts and shared communications to get vigilante justice. Fair enough as a person I dont blame you and find it funny, as a business you just cannot be trusted with personal information.

In the grand scheme of things, all you really illustrated is that for 25K empireflippers is willing to 'hack' someone who as you say yourself hasnt been established guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, but who you have 'good enough' info on.

'Professional' means operating by a business driven code of behavior. You let this issue become 'Personal', and as such took steps to get 'revenge'. You literally committed crimes during the course of getting revenge, and you 'transparently' confessed to these crimes in writing on a public forum that is tied to your 'professional' endeavor. You should have consulted a lawyer both before you took these steps, and before you confessed to taking this steps.
>> Not really hacking when they gave you the passwords already. That's like me accusing you of breaking into my house after I gave you a key to the lock.

If you lend me keys to your house for a specific purpose, am I also legally entitled to rifle through your drawers until I've found your car keys and then have a drive around in that? They used the word "password hacking" in the email, and using a password somebody has stupidly shared with you for a specific purpose to also access their email accounts and eBay, Namecheap is undisputably hacking of the illegal variety, even if the targets in this instance are particularly obnoxious criminals themselves as well as incredibly slack when it comes to security.

I can understand why someone might feel entitled to abuse the password they'd been given in order to see whether it helps them to recover their property, but to then boast about the felony they've committed on a corporate blog?
No. Amazing value because those sites combined were earning close to $1,200 per month in profit. $5K for that is an absolute steal, so Nate was just happy he got an amazing deal. (And didn't know the sites were stolen)

Final (YC W15) - Mountain View, CA - Full Time, On-site

Final is building the next generation of credit cards and is looking for:

Full Stack Engineer / Generalist (https://getfinal.com/jobs/fullstack/)

Frontend Engineer (https://getfinal.com/jobs/frontend/)

Final is a credit card that gives consumers total control over their merchant relationships and transparency in their spending. Rather than a single card number, Final generates multiple card numbers the consumer can restrict, and manages them automatically.

It works everywhere you buy; online, and offline, and implements with digital wallets like Google Wallet and ApplePay with zero updates to the payment infrastructure. With Final, you’ll never lose access to your spending ability from a breach, fraud, cancelled or stolen card ever again.

You can read more here: https://www.getfinal.com/jobs/
> Sorry, but as a consumer I pay the same rate day and night, and I think most in the US are like me.

Where do you live? I pay the same rate 24 hours/day as well, but I could switch to a plan with different rates if it provided value to me. I suspect most power companies provide the option at this point.

> Okay, but it seems like a pretty expensive way to ride out a few hours of blackout.

Is there actually a cheaper option, aside from sitting in the dark with flashlights and making sure that no one opens the fridge or freezer? If you want to ride out a blackout without basically sitting in the dark, you need either a big battery backup or a generator. My in-laws put in a whole-house generator and I think the total cost was nearer to 30K than 3K. (Edit: Actually, just looked at generators and they seem closer to 3K, so I have no idea why their setup would have cost nearly 30K. Edit2: They probably installed something closer to a 25kW generator, which would explain much of the cost.)

> The economics/policy of electric cars seem much better than home electricity storage, and all the benefits of PowerWall

A battery in my car will spend a large chunk of its time somewhere else. It's in intriguing idea to use the car battery this way, but it means when I take my car out, my backup power is gone. If I have solar panels, it also means my daylight charging is also gone (assuming I'm gone, with my car, during the day). So I think this would be great, but would not obviate most of the value of a home battery.

So you're calling for censorship?
But there is no money in making an open and interoperable platform. Or to be more accurate, there is a lot more money in having a closed and proprietary platform, which you can milk for years if not decades.

Ultimately, majority of people do not care whether the underlying platform is closed or open - they just want a product that works fine (eg. Facebook). So one of the rare ways open platforms can win over closed ones is if someone invests a lot in an open platform and offers a product with quality on par to those with closed platforms.

But it seems money drives a lot more effort in aggregate[1] than some desire to make the world a better place. So a vast majority of times, we see better products coming out of "entities" (corporations, people) motivated by money, which will do all it can to protect it's money source. Closing the platform seems a perfectly logical thing to do in that case.

[1] I define it as total man-hours spent on something.
Honestly, what was Grooveshark doing that was hurting anybody? If you'd answer by saying 'The artists' or 'the record companies', you're dead wrong. Record companies have insane income, while artists and bands make up a large portion of the world's millionaires. New or less popular artists were sometimes even positively affected by their music being on the site, as it made finding their music easier. The companies who sued are only showing the world what they actually care about. Money. Yeah, money. Cash, loot, dollars, euro, yen, moo-lah. Whatever you want to call it. I'm not saying that Grooveshark was perfect or that it's employees were saints, but I am saying that they were treated unfairly. The RIAA is trash, and Grooveshark's demise is a testament to that. Personally, as a musical artist and as someone who loves music of all kinds, I would never trust my music with any of these companies. The only way I can feel toward artists who go along with what these companies is disgusted. My music will always be allowed on streaming websites, as long as I get proper credit for it, not payment. Credit.
And it's clearer why twitter bought tellapart.

Twitter's problem per Ben from Stratechery is they can't grow registered users quickly enough, so they're resorting to building ads for unregistered users. The problem is those unregistered users don't monetize as well.

Tellapart built ad products for ecommerce companies. I've worked in that space a bit, and the problem generally isn't registered logged-in users you know a lot about: you can do pretty good recommendations and it's relatively straightforward to advertise to them; it's just that they are a small fraction of your traffic. So tellapart, by necessity, had to get good at advertising to low information drive-by users. That's what twitter needs; not for ecommerce necessarily, but in general.

It's still a shitty business though; if users aren't logged in and sharing information about themselves both directly and via data exhaust, twitter is fighting on more even ground with all other ad companies in the world and not exploiting the prize that no-one else has access to.
>Ask anyone who is familiar with GS's code base whether they would rather start fresh or have GS's code base. I've done this, and you can tell from my tone what they said.

I think that's a false dichotomy -- no one can remember every minute detail of every problem solved by a large application. To re-do the research would be a large commitment, hence I'm convinced the wisest choice would be "both," legality aside.
