This incident fails to explain why common stockholders should have zero voting power. That decision doesn't fall naturally from "an early VC had onerous terms that we didn't vet".

Lots of CIO-type buzzwords and acronyms in this, including many coined by Twitter themselves. More worthy of a skim than a rigorous reading. But interesting for a bird's eye view of how complex Twitter is behind the scenes.

A lone request for the logo image with no other simultaneous requests in the log could probably be gleaned as a lastpass extension lookup. And again in this scenario (which we don't know if it's accurate, yet) it's pulling th

Well, sure, but any out-of-band communication is potentially a leak. If the extension pulls every logo whenever you run it (notwithstanding whatever caching is used, if any), then every site that has a logo could track when you open the ext

For both. There should be standardized icons on USB-C cables denoting what the cable is capable of doing so that people don't fry their devices by using the wrong cable.

The incentive is not give USB-C a bad name by having people fry their computers and devices by using the wrong cable. Try googling "usb-c cable won't damage". There should be standardized icons denoting what the cable is capa

Right, and that's exactly what I'm referring to. See this article that got a lot of attention: http://blog.fosketts.net/2016/10/29/total-nightmare-usb-c-th... Or just look at the USB-C cables sold b

Agreed that the vault blob almost certainly hides all of this, but the question still remains about how the logo is initially obtained. There still might be a leak to lastpass when the logo url is first requested. And if the extension is pu

Serious question: WHY can't the computer industry do this for USB-C cables and ports? It's desperately needed and shameful that they haven't done this.

Agreed. In fact I found this post a little obnoxious. Not only is it an observation that is at least two years behind the times, it offers no new insight into everything that we've learned about VR in those last two years. Heck, we&#x2
