There is a difference between providing "free software" and operating a "free service".

+1 for frisco (hopefully most of us) that understands the basics of a one-way hash!! The more precise answer is they at least were storing password in plaintext.

The federal government? He has a job for life and can go home and get baked on some righteous NoCal weed every night. Really, what else do you expect?
606.
by jhancock 17y ago
No, because your not a bank ;). Our government thinks very highly of banks, don't expect similar treatment.

Don't count on a bank handling data security well. Here's a story for ya', I won't use the bank's real name, but it rhymes with HSBC. Anyway, a while back, I was logging into my online banking and the password no longer worked. So I called

don't be offended, hey, its Friday ;)... but you can't appeal to a lower court.

Has Google complied with the order yet? I would hope that Google would see it in their interests to appeal. Considering the judge's history, odds are an appeal would go through pretty well and Google gets to keep its reputation in tact for

Its probably too early to know if you really will continue on the existing project. Take some time as you need and if your work still feels like the right thing to do, continue. If over 6 to 12 months, its not working out, don't push on f

This is how I've always handled it as well. There really is no better approach. To keep the legal stuff simple and the costs of acquiring the equity low, I hand out the equity when the founder joins (usually you can do this at a penny a s

Regulatory capture may always exist to varying degree. To lessen the effect takes involvement. I fail to see how my view is naive. You only have two choices: "get involved" or "do nothing". I am fully aware most people do nothing (excep

thanks. I think that sums it up very nicely.

I agree with the first part of your response although its not really a goal of this form of stimulus to hand out "fairly". The goal is to provide for macro-economic stimulus. The second part of your reply depends on many factors. Not ever

Most agree that things like the H1-B program are broken. We have tons of data over many years to support this. The assertion that creating a founders visa enables more successful startups that in turn makes the economy grow (preferably sus

I'm not hearing unanimous support. I am disappointed that investors that openly support a founder visa have not published a pitch on par with what they expect from founders pitching to them. You guys should be able to write better pitches t

Here's a link to 5 people you may want to tell this to: http://www.federalreserve.gov/aboutthefed/default.htm Its my understanding they are buying out "assets" from private institutions in the trillions $$ these days.

Every adult U.S. citizen is a part of the "political class". The greater the involvement, the more you reduce corruption and even out influence. There is no other way for a Democracy to work properly. This is not limited to the paltry a

yep, the "revoked arbitrarily" aspect seems to not be well understood by most.

It seems you are trying to argue the case that health insurance is not "insurance" in the way other instruments are. I think we all get that. There are certainly better words, but that's the word commonly used and I think most people can

I have used the last two ubuntu LTS server releases for production dedicated servers. Never had a problem. Its very good stuff for mainstream production systems. I came to ubuntu from FreeBSD. One of the many things I liked about BSD sys

I'm guessing the SEC is both underfunded && following political direction. They may have needed more funding to go after all the potential illicit trading the last 10 years or so, but it seems they could have gone after more than

I'm not sure why he feels this is a correlation. But if you consider that access to capital is one of the best ways to reduce risk when starting a business, it may be surprising to see such a large number of those with no access to capital

I recall sometime around my 2nd or 3rd year in college someone remark that students go into engineering mostly from "blue collar" families. I never thought about it before that of course who would want to work so hard at engineering when y

I'm glad I read it. I'm pretty sure I would always draw like the "liar". I am a terrible artist and resort to boxes and lines from the overhead view. I better start practicing some truth art.
