Yeah they both live in housing on the Stanford campus that is only available for faculty.

I had it right initially but got confused because Illinois isn't 9th circuit. But Facebook is.

A great example of why tech needs regulation. Normal people get hurt when risks aren’t disclosed in an effective manner. You should absolutely file a class action lawsuit and I bet they’ll settle just to avoid the bad press.

If this crappy, unethical business practice becomes widely known I doubt people will keep using them.

And here’s the press release

Instapage is excellent. Fast, reliable, high quality, easy to cancel when you move on.

It's worth the extra few bucks for the time you'll save.

It's incredibly difficult to do end to end encryption well in a mobile browser.

Facebook has hinted they are rolling that out and it will create all kinds of frustration for mobile web users.

If you sound overly certain when people disagree with you they won't take you seriously.

The first two would be even better.

"Saving the list" entails creating a copy of the list on the VAN servers (technically, creating an SQL query). It does not mean copying any of the data locally where it could be kept.

It demonstrates the ability of the Sanders campaign to access the Clinton data without actually having the ability to use it once the breach was sealed, which, like the previous breach, it would inevitably be.

It's like making a copy of the personnel files left in the mailroom and sticking them in your mailbox. Lets you demonstrate they got left out in case VAN tries to say the breach wasn't serious.

If he sold immediately after the announcement he'd be in big trouble. Likely there's a lockup for a while and he wanted to sell before the end of the year.

There's another option in between Sprig and Josephine that's both a bit slower and far more "human" in the way the author wants.

Doordash brings you food from local restaurants (the same ones you eat at when you go out with your friends). It costs a little more than sprig, and it takes a couple more minutes.

But the food is individualized and made to order. It's familiar, made by the human beings you can go talk to the next time you're in there during a night out.

In short, it's the perfect in-between. And given the tone of the article, not all that surprising the author totally ignored it.

Entertainingly, I ended up at this match after watching the trials during a trip to Canada. Chatted with the team after the win.

Had to look it up (http://www.amazon.com/Hurry-Hard-Russ-Howard-Story/dp/047083...) but in here Russ mentions how he got pulled in by the guys to help advise on shots.

It was an unusual arrangement to say the least. They went through their lawyer, made a list of the top guys in Canada who could help, and Russ was at the top. The lawyer called, and he accepted.

What if you stored it on a cloud server, but you encrypted it with strong keys and a password?

I've had a printed copy of this speech since I was in junior high; it's so good, even if you don't plan to go into CS.

What happens if you give them bitcoin addresses?

Not all patents are public, for at least some the government can file a private patent on secret tech and only have to reveal it when someone else tries to patent the same thing.

One of the beautiful pieces of the Constitution is that it's allowed to contradict itself. The more specific statement wins out (for example, a section banning gay marriage would beat out a section that said that all people were guaranteed equal rights)

This is some of the most awful writing I've seen on the HN front page in a while. I'm sure if you're well-versed in the issues surrounding revocation the discussion makes a great deal of sense.

For the rest of us, it's a forrest of technical jargon, which is stunning to me given that the concepts at play here aren't insanely complicated.

>So I think the claim is that doing blocking OCSP lookups is a good idea because, if you use CAPI on Windows, then you might cache 50 OCSP responses for a given CA certificate. Then you'll download and cache a CRL for a while and then, depending on whether the CA splits their CRLs, you might have some revocations cached for a site that you visit.

That bothered me at first, but remember that it's not the tech that's the point of the show, it's the culture. Who's on First isn't about baseball.

He got primaried three times by guys even more right wing. My bet is that someone said, let's preserve sane republicans while we still can.

Why not just take a random sample of 5000 users and look at their snaps to determine if they're male or female? You won't be exact but you'll know if it's 70% women instead of 50%.

Fashion is never finished.

"A travel app could bring together both his restaurant API as well as the mapping data. 'What we see is a ‘compounding’ of data across several services. An open API strategy lets others build upon the data they’ve created.' That is a huge economic multiplier."

The author is dead on here; the multipler effect that comes from consuming many APIs. Great APIs are like Pringles, you can't consume just one.

Yea, this felt like the app.net model for social networking.

It's this kind of hybrid (paid/free) model that solves the chicken and egg problem; the more common the fuel pumps, the easier it is for people to switch to electric.

One of the things I always appreciated about Silicon Graphics was just how different their design was from anything else on the market.

It's not exactly the computer that the world will only need five of, but focusing on machines like this is certainly closer to IBM's roots.

You're fine as long as you stick to medical research articles.
