The data is simply not there. Especially with the new end to end encryption system. The best they could do, if they could do that, is give you undelivered encrypted messages. Unless they've been lying to us all along.

Judging from the thread list, this is a problem.

I just joined a company which is starting out on having a small in house software development team to boost their business and this has been a real pain point for me. It's really frustrating when you're expected to break a task do

I'm really interested in hearing more about this. I mean "Internet 2.0". Anh pointers on where I can find material that speak about the ideas you've expressed? Obviously I'll hit Google but you might just have somet

And oh, I knew what an IPod was before I ever knew a Macintosh existed.

Except in that case, he unearthed another completely unrelated vuln. I agree that some actions are u ethical, but does that really matter so much when a black hat is unethical anyways? The fact that he reported meant he was harbored no mali

For us it was the 90s/2000s. Ahh the good old days of having to visit friends to see a PC running Windows 95. Don't you just feel blessed?

>Software companies have become sweatshops where you are supposed to justify your absurdly high salary with insane hours and unreasonable expectations. Sadly, I've felt this way for the past two months since I took my new job. I ha

You won't understand because you fall in that category. But trust when it's said. You avoid certain challenges because of your race and sex and that is a given. That said, that doesn't mean that you sailed through life on a

Yet we know not all critical vulnerabilities are created equal. That's why some get a 10k payout and others get a 2.5k.

So Wes got only 2.5K after successfully proved he could access signing and api keys,after he was threatened with a lawsuit. How does setting up a shell and collecting credentials and then downloading them later give you a pat on the back? I

How then do we assess the extent of the vulnerability? As Wes proved, a simple looking RCE can lead to a huge breach of security due to failures in other areas. I agree that limits must be established, but also, these must not end research

Accurate. In the other case, they threatened because he proved the vuln was much much greater, infact I call it a billion dollar bug,and wanted to cover it up. This time they're proudly telling us because the attempts failed or were no

I just went to that thread, read both articles and the HN thread. Your post is completely inaccurate.

I've seen a vice documentary on Sakawa in Ghana and I must admit. These guys are smart and thorough! They actually have me insights on things I see all the time, but failed to see the implications of.

Uber us quite literally a supervillain! They've done almost every despicable thing in the tech industry. Sabotage, illegal practices etc al. That's why this is actually big on HN. With uber, shoot first then ask questions later!

My biggest regret as a programmer is having to work for businesses who neither value nor understand the software development process. Who simply aim to milk, milk, milk and milk some more till you ate burnt out and sapped. Programming itsel

And on Samsung, we have Samsung apps. Double standard? Yes, not all of them are Samsung apps but those are mainly what Samsung users rile them for. Once again, you are not forced to suffer this. You have the freedom to get out of this. In y

Because they like the awesome hardware, they can install the software from another company if they wish and even use other app stores they trust, or better yet make their own and run them instantly without a hassle. It is the freedom of cho
