The fact they're drip-feeding how bad this breach actually was is terrible enough and yet their entire product is built on nothing but trust.

Part of me wonders if this was an intentional strategy: Downplay during the initial media round then very quietly reveal this was a worst case scenario.

Personally I'm never touching them again - anecdotally everyone I know who was an individual customer has migrated away and inside companies lots of engineers have stopped adding new passwords.

It doesn't, it's just standard crab-bucket mentality

Just when you think it can't get any crazier, it does.

Going to be interesting to see what this does to the price of TSLA stock when the market opens on Monday

Not sure it even matters, in the US legal system all you need is more money than your opponent and you can win-by-default by dragging things out until they can't fight you anymore

The only way to detain someone with parliamentary immunity is if they are caught in the act, so they must have caught her with the 600k.

Previously worked at Monzo and the way their monorepo is designed is in retrospect incredibly solid, there is pretty much zero feature overlap between different services which is something even Google never managed to solve completely when I worked there.

Definitely had issues with abandoned / zombie services, but nothing that ever actually got in my way.

Frankly I'm really surprised we haven't seen a massive outage yet, given a huge amount of the infrastructure team have either been fired or had their hands completely tied for at least the last week.

Please say you still have a link to this post

I would assume they'll try and push as much value into a currency that's meant to be untraceable (such as Monero or Zcash), move the money around a few wallets for safety, then start drip feeding to exchanges and claiming they got into the currency early by mining and are cashing out.

At least if I was going to risk a heist like this it's roughly what I would do.

That post is a day old

*They still have a Tor Hidden Service, that's it though

DDoS-Guard is based in Russia, they just happen to have an entity in Scotland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDoS-Guard

He (Moon) doesn't actually know that though, it's very easy to disprove an argument when you set that argument up yourself - I took Matthew's statement to be a more general observation on the state of dozens, if not hundreds of problematic posts on the forum that were overwhelming Cloudflare, but that's just me

Meta, but: Hoping the moderators on HN are doing good this evening as I can't begin to imagine the amount of sock-puppetry they're dealing with right now

This just reads like Cloudflare trying to dodge all culpability / wash their hands of the harm caused by those they knowingly provide services to by shifting the buck elsewhere.

Pretending courts are oracle machines that perfectly determine which sites should be permitted in countries and inferring selecting websites to provide security services to is a totally binary choice.

And slowly but surely the tidal wave of the consequences of GDPR versus the CLOUD Act come into view.

It will take many years to of delays and fretting (due to the dependence on US clouds) but fundamentally the current legal position is that GDPR is fundamentally incompatible with any personal data transfer to the USA, that's how Google Analytics keeps getting banned too.

At some point this will all come to a head and something will have to budge given the gigantic consequences of such a position, from AWS to GCP to Stripe to even basic things like your Domain Registrar.

The Senior Managers Liability part means it's a criminal offence in the UK - so basically you could never visit the UK for fear of arrest.

Maybe I've missed something, but this looks like the exact opposite of the First Amendment:

- You DO have freedom of speech from private companies, etc, as the government states to "stop free speech being whittled away by wokery and political correctness"

- You DO NOT have freedom of speech from the government "this section does not apply in criminal proceedings or of any question whether a provision of primary or subordinate legislation that creates a criminal offence is incompatible with a Convention right"

Slack stands for Searchable Log of All Conversation and Knowledge - I'm not sure why people don't like to use it to look up information, especially disjointed information not formally recorded elsewhere?

It shouldn't replace tools like BookStack, but nuking it every 2 weeks feels like its losing genuine knowledge too

I'm not counting my voluntary repayments in that figure.

45% Income Tax + 9% Student Loan Repayment (mandatory) + 3.25% National Insurance Contributions

Gives 57.25%, but this is off because:

- Student loan repayments start somewhere above 20k, which decreases it

- National insurance runs at 10.25% before going down above a certain income, which increases it

- Higher rate and basic rate apply to some income (but no tax free allowance), which decreases it

Hence to a round(ish) number roughly 55%

As a 2019 graduate I just feel lucky that I'm fortunate enough to be able to pay the whole thing off rather quickly. The same can't be said for everyone else in my cohort.

Honestly I don't think they'll ever write Plan 2 loans off, these people will spend their entire life paying their 9% loan repayments, with no hope to ever pay off the total sums as they climb by 5% a year.

Part higher, part additional rate + 9% student loan repayment + national insurance contributions

I'm nuking the student loan as fast as possible, especially with the interest rates being near extortion, so hopefully that will mean I get more take home in the future

The higher rate is 40% and that's before National Insurance Contributions, Student Loan Repayments through HMRC, Personal Allowance removal, etc

To be fair folks in the US also have to pay for college, but to give an example of the typical situation in the UK: £55,000 loan on a 7.3% interest rate (it was going to be 12% but the government decided to reduce it https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-61765891) in a country where the average income is £31,722 per year

> Don't you pay something like 60% taxes for this?

Yep, my effective tax rate is roughly 55% over the year

I've previously applied to go work in the US, particularly at Stripe. Basically got told unless I have something ridiculous (so they can get me an EB-1A) the waiting times for Visas is way too long.

Maybe, I guess we'll never know as their deliberations are secret but I can see what you mean.
