It was, but I don't know why. I'm curious to hear if Heroku releases any information about how this happened. Heroku's DNS was returning a single 100.64.x.x address which is in a reserved range.

Equifax, however, did not fully patch its systems. Equifax’s Automated Consumer Interview System (ACIS), a custom-built internet-facing consumer dispute portal developed in the 1970s, was running a version of Apache Struts containing the vulnerability. Equifax did not patch the Apache Struts software located within ACIS, leaving its systems and data exposed.

1970s? Am I reading that right? HTML wasn't even developed yet.

It's right there in the article.

“When Emma contacted me saying the source sent her the same docs too, I took a hash of my original HTML file and it checked out, so she has a copy of the same file as me,” Lee told Motherboard in a Twitter direct message. A hash is a cryptographic fingerprint of a file; if someone has tampered the file at all, those hashes won’t match.

Lee said his source provided an HTML file of the DMs, and then Lee logged into the Twitter account himself and downloaded the direct messages with an automated tool.

“I confirmed that they were authentic (Twitter itself would have had to doctor them) and that the source didn't modify the content in the copy he gave me,” Lee told Motherboard.

Only if you're fine broadcasting in plaintext what tor site you're going to. The DNS lookup defeats the privacy of using an onion address.

"what they are owed" == fixed rate of $440/BTC.

If MtGox only had enough funds to cover 15% of deposits, and they paid back each creditor 15% of their claim a year ago, the creditor could have bought Bitcoin with what was refunded and be in the same situation now. Instead, they seem to be dragging it out. I think most creditors would rather have something last year than nothing right now. Additionally, there's no upside for creditors if Bitcoin becomes $5,000.

Sure, and then there's Prime, which they're reveiving revenue for and providing many different services. That revenue is probably not counted as shipping, yet they have costs to send out those free Prime packages.

Realistically, pizzas are a pretty poorly shaped thing for a drone to carry since it would block all of the propellers and it would definitely be way more effort to keep warm. Self driving cars are probably perfect for this, though. In California, self driving cars are classified as neighborhood vehicles which can't go over 25 which is probably fine for restaurant delivery.

Shouldn't we be talking about this shit before the election? It's not like California had anything to do with Trump, but still.

Did you see the announcement video? They dropped a kettlebell on it and all it got was a small crack.

Part of the problem is that employers like Walmart aren't hiring people full-time at 40 hours a week because that requires the worker get benefits. So they hire mostly part-time work at 30-hours a week or less, which isn't enough for people to live, so the workers have to try and get a second job.

Generally, having an electric car would push your electric bill into much higher usage tiers where the power is most expensive. Solar panels make the most sense for people who use the most electricity and pay the most for it. I've seen first hand that people who drive electric cars like to talk about clean energy and if they've got solar panels on their roof, it refutes the argument about burning coal to generate the electricity. As solar panels continue to drop in price, it starts to make more sense for the rest of the population, too.

Most will fail. Amazon actually has an internal hiring standard that the candidate should be better than 50% of their peer employees in the position they're interviewing for. This goals helps Amazon strive to always hire more talented employees..

Their point was that the winch needs to be mounted to something stable.

Somebody should make a simple alarm clock with wifi to sync time via NTP. I guess once you open that can of worms, most alarm clocks add other features, too.

I was reading recently that there's a special type of paint you can use on the walls of your house to block wifi signals, essentially keeping your wifi contained within your walls and keeping the noise level down by blocking your neighbours' wifi.

I have a question that's off topic from the TPP/TTIP debate. I have another friend that is interested in this topic. Do you think it's possible to create a computer parsable Domain-Specific Language for legal documents? Or maybe to cover a certain subset of legal document types?

As people migrate, rents and wages adjust.

Americans are not migrating to third-world countries because there are more jobs. That's not going to happen.

For anyone that doesn't know, email is not a "secure connection" and the "from" address on an email can be spoofed.

Well, yeah, you have to use the right tool for the job. You don't use a task management tool to chat with clients.

You find Trello easier to use and more flexible than Asana? I actually find the exact opposite. You do task management for your entire company with Trello?

Slack and Asana are completely different, I'm not sure how you can say they accomplish the same thing. Slack is a group chat and Asana is for task management. My company actually uses both, and Asana is integrated with Slack. We can create Asana tasks directly from a Slack conversation and assign them to someone. As a software developer, ideally I want to be using Jira. We're a small company of 8 and decided we needed something for everyone, not just developers, and right now we've settled on Asana and I love it. Our business and marketing projects are organized very differently than our development projects, and that's great.

The point is that it doesn't say anything about what it does. A programming language could be described as a "easy to use, powerful, and reliable system to process and distribute data." It processes and distributes data? That just sounds like a computer.

These are 7-inch capacitive touch screens, less than $70 from amazon prime, same resolution (800x480), mount with 4 screws, and use HDMI for video and USB for power/touchscreen. The downside is that the touchscreen drivers are binaries. Somebody online made an open source driver that appears to work perfectly, so if you're not using Raspbian or something else their binaries are made for, you might have some driver hacking to do.

Are there any examples of that being used successfully? My guess would be that people will just create new accounts. This might be the perfect place to test that model, though. The content is already free, you don't have to worry about losing royalties that people don't pay for if the test fails. There might need to be a strong emphasis for having an account (being able to customize or save recipes without losing data from creating a new account).

All of the accounts sync even if you don't use mobile, if that's what you're saying. You can always log into their website and view your passwords.

Well, yes, it was a joke, but many people are probably confused about that. It's worth noting.

That would be pretty easy to figure out. You can't really keep that one a secret because you have to tell your users to switch it in their accounts. A simple dns lookup will tell you if it's pointing to zenefits.com. And if ADP already knows the accounts that use zenefits, I'm sure they're just going to watch them to find patterns. Even if you bought 10 domains, your customers still have to share them, and ADP still knows who they are. You could probably do that for brand new customers, if you keep the number of people on the same domain to a minimum. Seems like a lot of work to me.

That article is quite old (from Jan 2012). Amazon's independent publishing platform has extensive checks for plagiarism and content that is freely available on the internet. I know this system was there at least 6 months after that article.

Just because someone didn't die doesn't mean that ordering a hit is okay. From the chat logs I've read, DPR ordered a hit on one of the SR employees (Green, I believe) who had gotten arrested. When DPR found out, he thought Green would talk, so he asked another SR employee, Force (who was an FBI member and was actually participating in Green's arrest), to kill Green. Force agreed and pretended to kill him and faked photos with Green. DPR thought he had killed someone. Does that make it not a crime because Green didn't actually die?

Anyway, that's not even what this case was really about.
