I think the prior comment references 'leadership' as a status ("Apple is the Leader in Design"), not a person or position ("Jony Ive leads the design team").

Just pulled up Activity Monitor - Slack + helpers are using over 1 GB while at rest.

Can you share more details about the battery status API tracking? Would love to see how that correlates to a unique user.

Justifying poor journalism by referencing more poor journalism is not a recipe for success.

Perhaps this is why the Rolling Stone is for sale then?

Author and Editor fail to validate highly sensitive claims in an incredibly amateur fashion. * they did not even ask the accused for comment*.

Rather than separate from the author and Editor, and help them find a career elsewhere, the publication gives a pretty weak apology and doubles down on two individuals who obviously failed to follow basic journalism standards.

They don't need to be "parriahs", but I do think it rubbed readers the wrong way when RS continued to defend their work and ultimately gave a sour retraction ('we were hoodwinked!') and weak "sorry!".

I also do not think the author or editor were removed from their positions

For one, good customer service is hard.

Also, customer service in that space is costly, particularly because these businesses already operate at a loss to gain market share.

Fellow hockey fan here. Can you share some information about Hockey's concussion risks? I was not aware it is "dealing with similar controversies". There are certainly head injuries in Hockey, but I was not aware that people had the same life-altering issues brought on by years of head trauma from football.

This is a very important topic that I am surprised does not receive enough coverage. Thank you for bringing it up.

It will be particularly interesting if accident blame is placed on the 'dumb cars', and then insurance companies do a 180 and charge MORE for 'dumb cars' operated by humans. Once they put this information in their pricing models, I assume its 'stuck' in there until the next major NTSB report is published.

As complacency sets in over a couple months & years, the accident rates will likely swing from "dumb" human operated machines back to "Level 4 Highly Intelligent Teslas/UBERS/Argo AI", and that market might get a real shock when the pendulum comes back their way!

Not sure why this is downvoted?

Fundamentally irreconcilable. Staring at a screen is only so helpful when you're under the age of 15

I listened to a podcast from these founders. I don't have kids to buy their products but I would buy from them based on the 1 hour show I listened to

This is a great point. Almost every podcast I listen to, from Gimlet to NPR to Mike Rowe, are heavily sponsored by these two firms.

Will be very interesting to see this open doors for other companies who may have been outbid for advertising slots.

Why is this downvoted? He's not incorrect, Page wanted to provide the bare minimum answers, as he has the right to.

You assume there are candid answers in there, though - in a deposition you answer as little as humanly possible. Your side of lawyers will ask a few key questions, any everything else is from your opposition trying to trip you up.

Maybe its because I saw your comment before reading, but I had no problem understanding the first few paragraphs.

The author states that a "snowball" is a grey suitcase with 50tb of HDD space inside, and a "snowmobile" is a massive 18 wheeler with what I would assume is petabytes of storage.

From my perspective, D&B is in the business of scaring SMBs into paying for a 'cleaner credit report' for thousands per year. Its always seemed like a big sham to me, and thats after 6 years of receiving taunting letters that 'my credit report has been requested, and for only $5,000, I can close more deals by looking stronger from a credit perspective!"

While potentially a useful service for a consumer, the majority of waste is generated by businesses, who already have access to comparable services with their current provider (except when a CRT tv is involved!)

Seems this company raised based off an old business model of 1800 Got Junk and Junk King, on the coat tails of Rubicon Global's massive fundraising amount.

The city has changed a lot over the last decade. You'd be surprised.

There are very few dirty areas around the greater Pittsburgh region. Is it perfect? No, but its hands-down cleaner than a lot of major US metro areas.

I'd suggest Pineapple Payments. They are a new company based upon the CardConnect platform, which was just acquired by FirstData.

FirstData is one of the primary companies in the market, and the rates you get from Pineapple are "interchange optimized". Means you pay 2.9% for AMEX, but ~1.5% for VISA, Discover, etc.

For B2B and even B2C, it's a fantastic savings if you're willing to do just a tiny bit more legwork than Stripe requires.

That's not how the 5th amendment works. It's not a flag you raise to say "nah nah, I'm not gonna tell you!" for the purpose of attracting a criminal lawsuit.

That being said, "where there's smoke there's fire"... but pleading the 5th isn't always the drama we see in Law and Order and Making a Murderer - often individuals just don't want to be misconstrued and prosecuted for saying something and their words being taken out of context.

Did you miss the part where the schematic was shared from a 3rd party vendor? Seems like all the comparison you'd need to file a lawsuit

It's still chugging along. Volvos and Ford Focus with LiDAR scoot around town daily. The ATC (advanced technology center) is fully staffed and operational. Pittsburgh also recently got some sort of certification/designation as a sort of "robotic testing ground" for autonomous driving, I think by the US government?

Excuse the short answer, with family for the evening. In short I think that the reason you see hackers target web startups and credit cards is because you can get away with it. Example - it's easy to use a credit card, buy something online, and have it shipped to a big office or apartment.

And to steal from a bank account? You'd need another bank account! Bank accounts require you to put up your own personal info, which is a huge barrier for Off shore hackers to overcome

Im confused, are you verifying that the passwords are or are not case sensitive? Mine is certainly case sensitive (watch me get hacked now, 8 characers, one is capital!)

While I see your implied point, DrJosiah, the above commenter did not say that the authenticator was without issue. Moreover, the blog post did not attempt to prove that the 2 factor auth did not work IF configured properly, but that the UI was incredibly misleading when activating the token.

You are factually incorrect that the passwords are case insensitive.
