It is not listed as an in-scope domain on Uber's bug bounty policy. You would have to argue that the access was unintentional - that you believed you had authorization to access the server from Uber and that Uber had the ability to ass

Actually, you don't have to keep unhashed passwords around. You can just return the wrong password in a hidden field. When the form is posted, if the hidden field is set, you can do some analysis. This might involve storing some '

Interestingly the behavior is similar to what I have observed with Mouseflow recordings for organic Google+ and Facebook posts. The page is opened, the mouse never moves and the 'user' scrolls a couple of times. I wonder if these

The solution to this problem is code review. Good developers do not want bad code in the codebase. If you give them authority to stop bad code getting in, it won't. Unfortunately, 'negative work' developers are often perceive

If it is anything like the law in the UK, there is probably an exemption for B2B business communications. (I.e. the law protects consumers not businesses.)

I think it works both ways, too. Unfortunately there are some developers that take any form of criticism as negativity. Some time ago I discovered a major XSS security vulnerability in a very popular WordPress plugin (used on over 100,000 b

I thought you could already do this? I use Stripe in the UK, and can accept multiple currencies. I can also set up multiple bank accounts for deposits in each of those currencies (although I do not at the moment). I suppose this varies by c

I don't know enough about Basecamp, so I cannot comment on their product. But, that aside, your comment is not fair. You make it sound like competing with other products (even if they are better, in your opinion) is somehow malicious.

Discrimination is far more nuanced than it first appears. We accept that younger drivers pay more for car insurance. And that disabled people pay more for their health insurance. And that the government (in the UK) has a special business gr

Presumably it means unlawful or unethical discrimination, since classification without discrimination doesn't make sense.

That's my point: go work somewhere else. You can't work in a team that does pair programming and choose to work at different times. It's about culture match. If you don't fit the team, don't expect the team to fit y

It is always amusing for people to debate about 'open source' and how licenses work. They, as the CEO of Wix has, repeat the same misunderstandings time and time again. You don't need a lawyer. You don't need an opinion.
