For anyone wondering about the diplomatic immunity reference:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Harry_Dunn

The collision became the subject of a diplomatic dispute when Sacoolas left the country shortly after the incident and the US embassy said she had diplomatic immunity as the wife of a US agent working in the UK.[8][16][14][29] According to Sky News someone at the US embassy told Sacoolas to leave the UK.[30] The Washington Examiner reported that Jonathan Sacoolas did not work for the National Security Agency, and that the Sacoolas family lived in Northern Virginia in the area of the Central Intelligence Agency Langley headquarters.[31]

Dunn's parents were advised by two leading specialist lawyers on diplomatic immunity, Mark Stephens and Geoffrey Robertson. They advised that Anne Sacoolas was not entitled to diplomatic immunity, as her husband was not listed as a diplomat. Furthermore, they contended, diplomatic immunity no longer applied upon Sacoolas's return to her home country; therefore, it would be possible to take civil action in the US courts. The Foreign Secretary, Dominic Raab, also stated that diplomatic immunity no longer applied.[32][33] Dunn's parents decided to travel to the US to "fight for change" and seek the return of Sacoolas to the UK.[34]

(OK technically not EU anymore)

UK has stated you won’t be prosecuted https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-europe-60542877?ns_mchan...

Edit: as pointed out below, has stated they will “support” citizens taking up the fight, not explicitly that they will not be prosecuted.

In short, yes. As with any remote teamwork, things can go a little awry without good communication.

Toptal run their own technical screening process (can’t attest to if that’s painful or not) and we’ve never done any on our side. “Interviews” from us have always been a quick check that people are interested in working on the problems and then code quality is reviewed during first commits in the trial period.

FWIW, worked with multiple people through Toptal from all over the world from US to North Africa to Central Asia.

I’m not sure of the commission Toptal takes their min hourly rate we’ve been quoted is now approx $80 p/h for PHP dev.

Edit: the minimum rate is $80 p/h, seen up to $140 but wouldn’t assume that’s the ceiling.

Can you give any examples of how the data was used to increase losses? Quite interested.

I’ve gone through corp compliance checks with Binance and through the same checks with various traditional payment processors. Requirements weren’t particularly different.

If anything, Binance was more stringent than some high risk payment processors I’ve dealt with.

There are some but for of the projects I’ve looked at, you are almost certainly getting a better payout by selling the vulnerability (monetarily not karma wise) to zerodium et al.

As much as it’s popular to hate on Facebook, I’ve found the niche groups that form are great.

There have been a couple of underhanded solidity contests (smart contracts on ETH), inspired by this.

Nice to people constantly putting the code examples to good use in real projects.

Recent Damien Hurst piece was a coke machine in the corner of a gallery that dispensed cans of coke with his signature on. Obviously a lot of easy criticisms there but still considered a collectible by some.

Would be interesting to map at which point in time customer service comments turned from positive to negative. Not that I’m suggesting PE buyouts typically lead to this…

Depends who you are buying it from and which country they are spending in

Pretty standard, happens frequently.

That’s an interesting idea, specifically the privacy bounty part, I imagine one of the difficulties here would be who handles the adjudication of it’s a privacy issue or not /you get paid or not.

I’d bet there’s more than a few people here in respectable places now that learnt to code through VB6, Delphi, python, Perl, PHP to write rats and exploit code.

My understanding here is that the post exposure treatment is recommended ASAP however unless multiple bites to head or neck, public health England guidance states administration can be next day.

I recently had a (potentially) post exposure rabies series of shots in the US.

3 shots of vaccine on day 1 + 1ml of human rabies immune globulin injected all around the exposed site. Then 1 follow up shot every 7 days for 3 weeks.

It’s the human rabies immune globulin that you hear the horror stories of people paying $20k for without insurance.

It’s strange that due to US medical billing and the uncertainty around it, I was trying weigh up the likely hood of actual infection from the animals saliva (protip for anyone visiting austin: there is actually a fair amount of rabies around).

If you develop symptoms, it’s usually too late and the survival rate is very low. That swung the needle in the direction of better to lose a car than be dead.

I’m not aware of any other country in the world - where getting those shots post exposure without insurance would have potentially cost that much.
