Do we have any idea at all about how many users were affected?

I'm wondering about this too. The GDPR requires a public notification. Why the hell is this coming from flippin' Google?! Why don't we have numbers on how many users were affected? Why isn't there a way to see if you&#x

I think I might be the only person on HN optimistic about WeWork. Remote work is on the rise here in the US. Startups and entrepreneurship continue to grow. Finding traditional office space sucks and is a massive waste of money, and probabl

So something that has really confused me lately — I thought socialism had a relatively strict definition. AOC for example claims the label socialist, but as far as I can tell she’s not actually taken any socialist policy positions. It feels

Plenty is said about it, you may have not been paying attention. Take some money from everyone who can afford it, and more from the rich than everyone else. Redistribute it into education, roads, healthcare, food, research, national defense

Something that’s missing from this analysis, I feel like, is this: There needs to be a passionate owner. A technical leader who understands customers and their needs, understands what’s technically possible, and has the imagination to conne

I work from home full time. And I’m single; and I live alone. I often go through the whole workweek without saying more than a couple words to another person in real life. I wonder what this does to me over time. It probably isn’t good. It’

I have a religious studies degree. I wonder if it’s prepared me better than a CS degree for the actual work I do. What did I learn with my RELS degree? Hermeneutics— understanding ancient texts written by lots of different authors in their

It's such a squandered opportunity from a product prospective. Yes, sure, Grindr started with being just about sex. But there's a huge interest amongst gay people for long term relationships and a dearth of apps that cater to th

Scott Chen should've been fired a long time ago. Given his actions on these issues that we know about , what about all the stuff we don't know about? For all we know, they've had tons of data breaches and covered them up.

You know what, as I think back to that night it’s possible the lady did receive a citation (a ticket) and I didn’t notice it. I was there the whole time, and listened to everything, but it’s possible I missed it. Also, the cops didn’t say t

Ding ding ding. The entire article hangs on “imply”. The question of where data is stored for an object is far less important than how to access data in a data structure. Like, the whole reason the data structure is designed the way it is,

THREE hours? What the heck do you do for that nearly 20% of your waking life? I guess you buy a lot of books, or visit the library a lot. I personally like reading but not so much that I want to do it for three hours every flipping night.

Credential stuffing is a huge problem. I am not sure if allowing users to use non-email addresses as a user-name helps solve that problem, though. I would be interested in reading research on the subject.

Let’s get one thing straight: If your company is saying they use AI to solve their customer’s problems but they do not, that is lying. 100%. It’s fraud. You are absolutely right to be concerned. I would argue that you have a moral obligatio
