eyeareque··on Google is killing first and second gen Nest Thermostats
I agree. It would be nice if you could self host your own api, and keep these things from turning into useless hockey pucks
eyeareque··on Self-driving Waymos secure final clearance for expansion beyond S.F
Doesn’t the price end up being the same if you factor in tips with Lyft?
eyeareque··on Drugmakers are set to pay 23andMe to access consumer DNA
Did anyone find the fine print on what you agree to when you use their service? I am not surprised whatsoever.
eyeareque··on We apologize. We did a terrible job announcing the end of Docker Free Teams
I’m guessing they did this change because the cost of giving a free service isn’t cheap for docker?
eyeareque··on AT&T to pay $23M fine for bribing lawmaker’s ally in exchange for vote
Does this mean the vote that was made will be over turned? (If it turned out a single vote passed it)
eyeareque··on Macwright.com redirects HN readers away
I recommend posting the articles as you intended to. You’ll never make everyone happy anyway.
eyeareque··on Apple’s Killing the Password. Here’s Everything You Need to Know
This seemed promising but it doesn’t look like it had any traction https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8471
eyeareque··on Apple’s Killing the Password. Here’s Everything You Need to Know
Does this passwordless future still involve getting a cookie in your browser that can be stolen and used from an attackers machine? If so, we still have a problem to fix.
eyeareque··on Microsoft Purview: Additional classifiers for Communication Compliance (preview)
I get the 1984 vibe this has.

How should companies defend themselves from insider threats?

eyeareque··on Ubiquiti vs. Krebs
Suing a journalist is not a good look. I wonder what other vendors out there will take up some market share from them after this nonsense is over. Hopefully this in the end this turns into a net positive for Krebs.
eyeareque··on Updated Okta Statement on Lapsus$
It feels like a lawyer heavily tweaked this to sound better than it really is.
eyeareque··on Toll signs on 101 report your transponder setting
I am curious what happens if you modify the transponder to send something other than 1,2,3?
eyeareque··on SSH Bastion Host Best Practices
Maybe I missed it but did they cover logging all keystrokes entered by users over the bastion? (In the case where you need to log into it first vs merely doing port forwarding)
eyeareque··on America’s largest companies quietly give worker data to Equifax (2017)
It’s the other side of allowing a free market. Companies will do whatever it takes to make more and more money.
eyeareque··on Tell HN: Salary data is for sale
I have no clue. Spread awareness and contact your senator?
eyeareque··on Tell HN: Salary data is for sale
None that I can see.
eyeareque··on Tell HN: Salary data is for sale
When I looked mine up I could see just about every job I’ve ever had. It also showed who pulled this report over the past 24 months. I see that my credit card companies pulled it, a background check company that my current job used, and also some random “TEST Batch Account” whatever that is.

SSN + DOB and you can find out how much money I made on my w2 for many years of my life. Nice.

I am debating on doing a ccpa delete on this data. I wonder if future employers will give me a hard time when negotiating pay if they can’t verify my salary this way? Also, will I have to delete it every time that an employer sends them this data? Awesome.

eyeareque··on Tell HN: Salary data is for sale
There is already the blind app and also levels.fyi
eyeareque··on Tell HN: Salary data is for sale
It’s hilarious that companies try to stop you from discussing your salary but at the same time they will give it away for free to a shady company.
eyeareque··on Tell HN: Salary data is for sale
How is this even legal? How do we make this no longer possible? It seems like we need a new law to stop this unapproved sharing.

Did we ever agree to this?

eyeareque··on Ask HN: Why doesn't YC list compensation for their own open positions?
They updated the law: you have to go through at least one interview before they are forced to share it.
eyeareque··on Demystifying USB-C and Thunderbolt Docks (2017)
I’ve had a super old DVD player connect to the internet over an hdmi cable to my blue ray/surround sound system device that had Ethernet connected. It used the connection to patch itself, didn’t even ask if I wanted to.
eyeareque··on Stripe hiring issues make some lose job offers
If nothing else, reject stripe offers to avoid this one year grant scam. It decreases your potential upside, and saves them money, lowering your earning potential vastly. Some companies who do this argue it will protect you from downside. But you know what else does? Getting a new offer elsewhere (with signing bonus).

I have over heard that snap, lyft, coinbase, and stripe are doing one year grants. Avoid them like the plague!

eyeareque··on Facebook bans, sends C&D letter to developer of Unfollow Everything extension
If they ban you does this mean that they stop tracking you and saving data about you? Sounds like a win.
eyeareque··on Software Engineering Salaries in Europe vs. the United States
Their source of salaries is Glassdoor which seems to be focused on base salary alone.

They should have used levels.io for a better source. It includes bonus and rsu.

eyeareque··on Google launches new vulnerability reward platform
So much this. It’s insanely annoying when they say something isn’t a risk and then they fix it shortly after. Google should improve this problem over new webpages.
eyeareque··on I have a lot to say about Signal’s Cellebrite hack
I disagree and this was far too much writing to get your point across. Signal isn’t Facebook; they don’t have to act (or try to be) politically correct. Cellebrite deserved what they got, and if this writer understood how painful vuln reporting is they would understand why a (semi) full disclosure release works and when to use it.
eyeareque··on Have I Been Facebooked?
Why would you give it to Facebook?
eyeareque··on Whistleblower: Ubiquiti Breach “Catastrophic”
How many of you would be surprised to hear that 99% of companies have similar security gaps? These problems happen literally everywhere.
