They might if it affected their states tax revenue and was only a plastic landfill (which is to say, not a compromise but a pure self interest play).

Based on some quick googling (not an expert in the related physics like some sibling commenters seem to be), earth’s orbital velocity around the sun is ~30km/s and the sun’s orbital velocity around the center of the galaxy is 250km&#x2

Possibly, but the rock also came to rest on the mattress and not underneath her basement so there’s a possibility that it was already sub-sonic and that the dog had a chance to hear it before it arrived.

If you haven’t tried already and you’re interested, you might try filing a FOIA request for any documents that the company might have. The early days OSS / SSU documents are largely public information these days and when they’re not, i

Well… maybe. I mean, certainly we could find out that was the case and that there was a safer sunblock alternative we might have been using if we had only known about it- but compared to what we definitely know today about sun exposure I th

I don’t think you’ve meaningfully proved that claim. The point was that you can, in fact, quite easily game stats even for murder. I’ll add this[1] as another example. [1] - https://www.vox.com/world/2015/12/1

The term is “sequestration”. You are correct that trees are a temporary capture, and even then- only when you plant woodlands that did not previously exist. Given enough time, the trees that are planted will decompose or burn in a forest fi

It would certainly be interesting to see the data, but I’m not sure if I’d expect the results to point towards any particular monolithic user trends. I think a lot of users (perhaps the majority?) are using flagship devices released within

Probably not as many “PHP App” authors in the immunology space, so frustration with newcomers could reasonably be expected to be lower.

Mutable collection type static field members that are actually mutated, sure. Thread creation in a static initializer? Yeah, that’s going to be a leak- but what you said was: > It’s safe to assume that if there’s any statics there’s a pe

This is one of those scenarios where the answer is likely to be “both”, but I doubt you’ll get anyone discussing YouTube internal architecture in enough detail to be satisfying. Just look up what Vitesse is and compare what that implies in

Based on my comments and the reply from a mongo employee in the previous thread about this: yes, they changed the defaults in 2017: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27613761 That said, it also seems like the docker imag

I respectfully disagree with both of you. Security should be binary, within a given set of requirements / implementation parameters and the intended threat model. Security must be binary within the space of “are you authenticated or no

If you give out your personal information to, for example, newsblur- the odds are very, very good that this wasn’t the first time you’ve entrusted a company to protect your privacy, and whether you realize it yet or not- you have already be

Right, and there should be a sense of shame associated with being pwned by, for example, not setting a password on your public internet accessible (redis || postgres || mongo) instances. You didn’t get hacked, you let a child have their way

Thanks for the info, I haven’t payed attention to mongo since the last time I was personally burned by data corruption in the pre-2017 and web-scale (/dev/null db) era. Sounds there’s a mix of blame to go around- but it also sound

And would you take that statement at face value from a company that just left their docker based mongo instance Internet public? It’s safe to assume that your info has already been leaked, but situations like this are why that assumption is

Right. Maybe someday, with enough public shaming in situations like this, mongo will reconsider those defaults. Or not, maybe their best potential customers should continue to get burned publicly in incidents that have a direct line to thei

Is it too soon to ask whether the mongo instance in question was available publicly to connect to with perhaps the default installation password?
