   Is there a concept in law as "you should have known"? Like, its one thing to not know that the thing you are saying isn't true (i.e. "my co-founder went to Yale" when he actually believes that he did). But another t

   I would bet that, with any inaccurate financial figures you quote to an investor, that "reliance" is easy to prove.

   RE: "Subjective fraud". Regardless of whether the fraud is intentional or accidental, misstating something to investors (i.e. "our revenue was $1 million last month" when you're talking about GMV) will still subject

   Yes I reading this too. Very interesting. Earlier in the doc, he says: "...our ability to pull bits out of random places of the Internet, bring them back to the mother-base to evaluate and build intelligence off of is just plain awesom

   I bet they had actual real evidence to act on (i.e. whistleblower), not just allegations from upset donors.

    An interesting read. Perhaps he should have said "Using SSL is like using antibiotics. If everyone is using it all the time, the attackers just find ways around it that are impossible to defend against and you're screwed." No

    I realize "mean time between failures" doesn't mean what I think it means, but holy moley. The engine can only go 25 hours between failures instead of the 120 they're aiming for? That's a pretty big gap in performan

    From what I'm seeing, it rarely dips below 50 seconds. So taking an average time, it could be less than a year. Also, assuming that if it hits 0, the game is over. So it could be over in a week or two once the focus dies down.

    I'm working on a year-long government project now to migrate a small bunch of websites from Windows Server 2003 to 2008 R2 (because extended support for 2003 ends this summer). Yes, we're upgrading to a 6 year old operating system

    I am also suspicious of the claim that a fixed salt+password hash scheme is "just as insecure" as a no-salt password hash scheme. The salt (unknown to the attacker) has to add at least a few order of magnitudes more security just

    Yeah maybe it's not the same solution. But it's a solvable problem, I believe. I trust that the Amazon team had this conversation 2 years ago, and came to some conclusion that the risk was manageable. Would they send their lawyer

    The security concern (for the drone and the contents) is a bit overblown to me. What about all those ATM bank machines in all sorts of "insecure" places? We've somehow figured out how to keep money inside a machine that is un

    I admit to not understanding the mindset. So I honestly want to understand it. One family in the article has two parents both with full time jobs. And they're living in a homeless shelter. I understand that they can't afford $3,00
