I had wondered, if companies are ordered by the Government to hand over the data and have little to no recourse to prevent it, are they then liable? No doubt a number of people tried to challenge the companies liability in these matters aft

I think this statement highlights something I'd assume some didn't consider when debating the issue on Errington's article, or Errington and the other poster didn't consider when making the joke. It is the Universities o

Depending on your position in the company, an employee may still have leverage in their technical experience or client relationships. I imagine such an employee may sign a non-compete that explicitly prevents forming or joining a competitor

Lexicographic analysis, I think it's called. Back at university, they would run checks against the byte-code (Java, woo) to find people who were sharing their source. Caught a few people out in the earlier years who thought changing va

I think they also have to prove that these sites actually had their information and did provide it. Otherwise they're just assuming that their information was accessible because their information was part of the dump. Likely though, si

I added it as an edit, but I'll comment here too: In context of recent events this is just a poorly and honestly unfunny joke. But the point isn't whether it was a joke though, the point is that universities have a long history of

You've written this a few times, but there's no proof that that is the case. MLH obviously had a commercial relationship with the University and that would likely entitle them to certain authorities. Unless your privy to the contr

In looking into who MLH were, I found their comments on the event: http://news.mlh.io/when-jokes-go-too-far-09-19-2015 In honesty, I completely agree with the actions of MLH in the expulsion. It is their event to run, and t

I may be wrong, but I believe the first dump only contained a month or so worth of transactions and the numbers were obfuscated. So likely not enough for credit fraud.

So knowing absolutely nothing about the relevant laws of the claim, I went and looked up 18 U.S. Code § 2315. How do the claimants intend to demonstrate the value of the stolen goods exceed the $5,000 or more test required by the law? More

Can Canadian rulings set precedent in American courts, or is this just a case of the claimants demonstrating how the issue has been handled in other countries for reference by the court?

I imagine for some its the impression that the transaction is instant, despite being a veneer over the same system that a regular bank transaction would use. I imagine that veneer is almost entirely their value prop to customers.

I'd love to know her justification for doing so — maybe to correct unexpected reactions\outliers that would hurt the study?

You can see how that is a narrow selection though? Men and women don't remain 'similarly situated' throughout their entire careers, particularly when you factor in child-rearing (paternity still being highly uncommon, and few

When you read the source text, you can see that they have been fairly selective in the criteria in which they dismiss size of the wage gap. I would argue that the text shows the study was produced with a political leaning. http:/&#x2F

> risk averse during interviews which accumulates over the years Careful now, that may be a commonly held belief but is also wrong. There are far more reasons why the pay gap exists and you can't simply clump it all together and bla

My apologies, I noticed a JS folder and comments on the page and assume it was part of the solution. (Seems the timeframe to edit my original comment has expired).

I feel like this is akin to "killing the patient to cure the disease." In the uses I can see for this, the way this framework solves the problem, to me, seems to be worse than any problem itself. Namely, I would like to know how t

Time and time again the argument against commenting is that "good code is self-documenting," which makes perfect sense for those experienced enough to document the code in their heads but I don't think holds the same value fo

One detail worth mentioning, and a few other bloggers have touched on this as well is that Japan, from a business perspective, can still be very xenophobic. Kind of a cultural and racial version of the "not built here" problem. If

I think part of it is that if they deliberately stifle their own copy-protection, it might make it easier for malware or pirates to learn how they did it and do the same.
