I just find it difficult to see why the CSO would take such a big personal liability onto himself, but I guess we’ve seen some funky actions around the big startups elsewhere..

This is still baffling. To have that many records leak, and try to play a hush-hush strategy AND pay the hackers makes no sense at all, especially from a former federal prosecutor standpoint. There’s more to this story that is being told to

This is a problem I work on, but from a different angle. Run a company that does security sandboxes of a type that you can deploy internally to see what kind of attacks are happening and potentially collect useful telemetry out of the attac

I remember reading a twitter quote about someone who felt their workouts "didn't matter" if they didn't have their GPS tracker with them on the workout. Gym, as in the physical location, is also very much part of the &qu

The equation is a bit similar to the one played out in the movie "Goodfellas". You have two mobsters, the good mobster and the bad mobster, and a business. The bad mobster actively harasses the business in multiple ways, prompting

Does the de-anonymization serve any purpose at this stage? If the advertiser can successfully profile me based on what they can gather completely anon, I don't see why they need the further info. However, for any smaller player wishing

So is the claim here that even though they dont know me at a personal level, they know me as ”shopper_1092716718” and can target me whenever they want? If so, another fantastic example of expensive and complex regulation being gamed by the

I think they claim that this was a coding error and not a ransomware case. The timing is convenient though.

This is why I do keto. There are no cravings, no hunger spikes; After about the 3rd week, I haven't had a physical itch for anything sugary (it went away after the 3rd day, but kept mildly lingering for the first three weeks.) It'

There's not much utility to many things in daily life if you scrap it to its base components. It reminds me of the story of how Steve Jobs got John Sculley, then CEO of Pepsi, to join Apple: “Do you want to sell sugar water for the res

Oh wow. So from a financial standpoint they're not in a radically different position to earlier years (assuming between 10-20% more in other revenues), in fact seems as if they have approx 100M$ more coming in as revenue in comparison

Why not write a blog post about this yourself? It would be well received over here. It is obvious this is a topic you care about and have thought about through different angles, which is the type of thing HN folks love.

'Fake news' stopped being newsworthy to anyone in tech probably many years ago. I find the following HN guideline to apply well to this: Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of
