I see where you are coming from, and agree. I also see where the article is coming from and it is from the point of view of the seller and particularly a new, small, little resource seller. When one is in that situation, the real goal is to

Yes! Great advice! That is exactly what Show HNs are for. Tell the founders how they can improve such as including security and privacy information in their marketing materials.

This thread is about this specific app/idea/team. It is not about potential security problems in general. The parent could have just asked "what is the security and privacy?" rather than make baseless assumptions and acc

I get a 404 for the first link in your article. Thanks for reference to the Baidu study, it is very interesting.

Even scientists communicating directly to the public is what I'm talking about rather a journalism major not understanding physics.

For me, I have always had a problem with how dark matter was portrayed in the media, even more scientific media. It is only fairly recently that scientists have been communicating dark matter as a problem with several possible solutions to

As a data engineer who needs to crawl websites sometimes, Mixnode looks interesting to me. I agree that it is hard to make scraping a product because it is so use case specific. However crawling, defined as downloading all HTML, PDF, image

The modern world was built by corporations. Access to clean water, cheap and healthy food, energy, infrastructure. Yes taxes fund a lot of it but it is corporations that largely do the work at least in the US. Being for-profit is a good thi

Share price will almost certainly take a major hit. It already has based on this news. But I don't think it is the end of Tesla.

I certainly don't want Tesla or SpaceX to fail. Nor do I want Elon to fail however he screwed up big time as the CEO of a major, public corporation and should be held accountable like everyone else. Celebrities, even ones trying to mak

The answer to your original question is "yes". The SEC does not like when CEOs make misleading statements even once. All I did is point you in the right direction. I am not going to go through 100s of cases to find something that

Add "misleading" to the search and the first few results seem similar to what Elon did. Making public, false, and misleading statements to investors is something the SEC gets pretty upset about. https://www.google.com&#

Yes. SEC litigation releases, press releases, report major updates to cases including the resolution. Here is a Google search for "prohibited acting officer", the key legal phrase/keywords, on the relevant section of the SEC

How do you tell the difference in an interview or a medical consultation? We aren't talking about products.

For me, it depends on what I'm building. If there is a GUI, then I usually write basic HTML and CSS using Bootstrap as my foundation. I prefer that over Balsamiq because I can work out flow as well as layout. If it is an API then I des

identity theft != credit card theft Yes, credit card theft is not a big deal and you don't really need any protection because the CC companies are pretty pro-active about it. That is not what we are talking about. Yes, real identity th

Why? You really want to spend all your time fighting someone who gets a hold of your information? It is not a one or two times thing. Go talk to people who had their identities stolen. It is not fun and it can take years to fix everything.

Your credit score can be ruined by this and then when you need credit, such as a home or car loan, you are screwed. If you are lucky to be independently wealthy where you can pay for everything with cash, then no problem. But very few of us

Freezing it is relatively easy and you don't have to spend time monitoring. Monitoring also doesn't really prevent identify theft. In other words, better safe than sorry.

Maybe that would help in less developed areas, but I doubt it would work in a place like Boulder, CO. Boulder rent just keeps getting more and more expensive. There are several reasons for this but most of the land is being used already. Ch

No one owns Lucene. If everyone stopped developing Lucene, Elastic could devote resources to it which they already do. I don't think that is a potential risk at all.

If the business logic relates directly to the data, then that is my preference. I think it simplifies a lot of things for a REST API too. Thanks to the JSON support, I often write plpgsql functions that create the result JSON and the web se
