I'm having trouble determining what they discovered here. 1) They bought 1 million dating profiles 2) They traced it back to Match.com and Plenty of Fish That's it? That's the news? Where's the meat? What am I missing?

I did a website for Visa a few years ago, and it required a pentest before launch. We tried to find a loophole to justify it not needing a pentest (because that would give us 3 more weeks to develop the site), but no luck. It was such a sim

It's fiction in that it can be whatever they want it to be. Like Amazon was known for years to intentionally not make a profit. They arranged their business so that all the money they made got plowed back into the business in such a wa

No, he's saying you should pay to update to the latest version. This notion that something you bought 8 years ago needs to continue to work, even though the operating system that it runs on changes, is just not reality.

We don't know how much of that he got to keep. The company raised $50 Million from investors (who need to get repaid), and there were other co-founders involved. He said $6000 was "not a drop in the bucket" for him, so I gues

He had at least 2 other cofounders, and the company had raised $50 Million from investors. He didn't get much of that $130 million.

Then it's a game of trying to find ways to not pay your affiliates. Do you want to be the retailer than gets known in the affiliate space for trying to find loopholes not to pay what they said they would? People would stop promoting yo

"The number of apps in its Windows Store had dwindled to 13 percent of the 1.1 million offered in 2014, the company said, and it needed less bug testing from Lionbridge, according to a January 2017 memo obtained via a FOIA request.&quo

Google was subsidizing their startup. Makes sense that they have to pay at least something.

The article is over sensationalizing something that really isn't that shocking. I thought they were going to index unlisted videos using brute force lookups of the URL, or that an API was leaking. Now that would be Hacker News worthy.
