[quote] The bitcoin breach seems analogous to Bank of America storing your account information on Linode and trusting it as the Real Data. Does that make sense? [/quote] //reply to tomg, but seem HN stops nested replies beyond a certain lev

Not sure about this PCI complaint stuff, but perhaps this is why major banking companies jumped from Linode to EC2? Much improvement? Although I must say I have friends working on banking websites in the UK that dont know the whole picture,

Well tomg, when I researched this ~8 months ago there were at least 2 US financial websites that were using the same specialized analytic company that injected JS into banking login pages that were hosted on Linode VPSes.

All this talk about banks being safe yada yada and cloud hosting not safe for US50k. Real banking companies (with billions of dollars on hand) do use commodity cloud hosting including Linode, for even sensitive parts. Take for example Natwe

What the fuck is it? Following the link /l it is immediately asking for my details without telling WTF it is - is a grade A example of retarded marketing.

When did we go from standard measure of per second for these types of things, you know, requests per second, transactions per second, to per minute? Statistics eh?

I should add "Have you been accessing sensitive sites such as your Google accounts" on a shared computer." The HN reference was to distinguish if the poster's complaint was worth of a discussion or is it one of 100k+ people a day that get c

1) Have you been using a shared computer? 2) Did you have a weak password? 3) Do you use same password (or a small pool of passwords) for most sites and service? Answering yes to any of the above and you really should not be posting on HN

Bad advice. Coffeescript isnt a framework, it is a language. So for your DOM manipulation you say you understand the quirks and difference between WebKit and IE7, what about the host of over rendering engines, mobile/tablet/desktop and diff

Agreed. But with no transparency it pays to be cynical. In addition, bootstrapping it by asking HN to commit their time and web space whilst drawing a salary is a bit of a slap in the face from day 1. Im sure a consortium of true HN readers

Indeed, but perception is a powerful thing, a non-profit for charities especially. Microsoft and [insert-evil-company-of-choice] could be non-profit if you soak up any remaining revenue by salary/bonuses. I mean ICANN is non-profit and the

Can you clarify non-profit, non-profit nowadays means very little, ICANN is non-profit and is about to fuck up top-top level domains so their CEO can buy a helicopter. Do you draw a salary and how much?

Statistic is flawed. Most people who use the default white themes probably dont read HackerNews, dont care to optimize their setup or routine. Those that read hackernews with a woren out F5 key are likely to be heavily influenced by the dar
