Since you opted to reveal the company's name (Snowbound software), I went ahead and read the reviews on GlassDoor.

Your review is very emotionally charged and with very few facts or examples, which makes it difficult to take seriously.

Since you were fired I can understand why you would write like this, but it is a bit ironic considering the article is about manipulating reviews.

Yours is scathing indeed, but not in an insightful way and just seems like an attempt to bash the company (1 star, all reds, only pros are low pressure environment and parking?). I can understand why the company would want to defend itself against this with actual facts (they state increased revenue, staff seniority, customer names).

Anyways take whatever you want from this comment, I'm just a neutral observer with limited information, but I don't think Snowbound's positive reviews show manipulation

How so? Telsa would most likely communicate with an API on the car and not directly running file hashes remotely.

What prevents an attacker from overriding some validateFile("path","hash") call to always return 0 ?

I honestly don't really see this working? What incentive does the delivery driver have to spend more time scanning the box (place the label in view for the barcode scanner), unlock, open the door, place box, relock it

I can 100% imagine the driver just putting the box on top and leaving, or trying quickly to scan and have it fail then again put the box on top.

Emulator Not Is Wine? ;)

Because it's still a huge screen with high quality audio?

Why would you care how the image gets on the screen of it ends up looking better?

Shouldn't they release the method they used to determine which reimbursement currency "won"? From what I understand, creditors were asked in a form which currency they prefer (yen or bitcoin).

People in the comments say the requested a Bitcoin reimbursement, but is it even possible for them to know what choice others made?

He obviously meant to type "aspirin" as the first word, but that was hilarious nonetheless.

I always have a hard time interpreting these statistics.

I understand the numbers of terrorist-related deaths versus non-terrorist one are staggering as displayed above, but if we stopped funding these security measures at airports (scanners, staff, etc), what could the number go up to?

Are these 3000 deaths so low because of the security measures? If we were to remove/loosen security measures at airports, how could we even estimate the impact in number of terrorist-related deaths?

Are these fears of possible ramp-up of terrorist attacks (if security measures are loosened) unfounded?

And for some reason, this (in my eyes useless) data collection is bundled inside the version check: https://github.com/wallix/awless/blob/master/stats/stats.go#...

If you can't see how even a single one of these 200 policies could be useful for a corporate environment, then you are just plain ignorant and/or trolling, or you've only been exposed to tiny startup environments.

And I'm not talking about controlling employees here, but simply enforcing settings for compatibility with legacy systems, legal compliance, etc, the list is endless.

That's fine and definitely up to you to decide. Although I don't really agree with your example, as your body manages the pain in biologically different ways when giving birth.

As an anecdote, my wife gave birth 3 times, never in a hospital or anesthesia. She doesn't remember the pain.

The term "Scheduled c-sections" can also be referred as "planned c-sections" or "elective c-sections". Meaning they are not medically necessary, but chosen voluntarily.

Obviously c-sections that are not planned are needed

Giving epidurals and scheduling c-sections don't reduce mortality rates.

I'm not saying that pregnancies shouldn't benefit from advancements in disease detection to prevent potentially fatal outcomes. It's not a black or white situation.

Inducing labor to prevent a fatal outcome during birth and inducing labor because you want to be at a party/whatever the next week aren't the same.

I'm sorry for your friend, this is a terrible situation to be in.

And it's exactly why many people think pregnancies and births are over medicalized, especially in the US.

Women have given birth for a long time without medical intervention, using competent mid-wives, and now were at a point where every pregnant woman wants an epidural, a scheduled C-section (!!), inducing labor via medicine, etc. It's pretty insane..

The movie "Business of being born" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0995061/) goes into detail of how the mindset of handling pregnancies shifted over the last decade, and how pregnancies are almost a "disease" to be treated.

Edit: Since I'm getting downvoted for this, I simply wanted to correlate that more interventions = more risk. No other intent, and definitely not trying to "victim blame" given I have no knowledge of the specific situation above.

Anybody find it weird that Law360 had the journalist sign the Non-Compete on her first day along with other HR forms?

Every time I've had job offers that included a Non-Compete, the contract was always to be signed at the same time as the offer.

Did not get root on my test box (OpenSuSE 13.2 64bit) with kernel 3.16.6-2-default

And this is the point I'm trying to make. Adding armed citizens into the mix will just shift the method of killing.

I've seriously considered the "arm your citizens" argument, and honestly can't think of it helping, at all.

These guys aren't your run-of-the-mill muggers; they're actively thinking about inflicting the highest casualties in the most efficient manner.

Today it's shootings since most people wouldn't be armed, tomorrow it's something else that guns won't prevent.

I fail to see how arming citizens would prevent bombs from blowing them up.

What the hell is wrong with people, suggesting guns as a solution to unpredictable violent situations where guns wouldn't make any difference.

You arm citizens, now what? Shoot anyone that looks mildly suspicious? Hear a bomb go off, you take out your gun then scare the shit out of people surrounding you, then get shot by somebody else that thinks you're part of the bombing?

Worked fine on my PuTTY, got the message after leaving an empty user at the "login as:" prompt

Ah, my bad. So the patch set I linked is something that is still being worked on or just didn't get merged yet?

I was a bit confused as the patch set I linked to were from Feb 2015

I didn't see a link to Aleksa's patch set, so here it is for those curious: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/22/204

Somewhat interesting is the fact that the previous Facebook CSO was Joe Sullivan (now CSO at Uber), who did not have an "IT security" background at all; most of his career is oriented towards law (he has a J.D. after all ;))

Contrast this to Alex Stamos, who's given many presentations at Defcon/Blackhat, co-founded iSEC, EE/CS background, and it seems a bit of a mentality shift for Facebook.

I'm not sure why, but when viewing the recordings in full screen on my Galaxy S5 in landscape mode, a bottom portion of the cast is cut out. For example in the irssi/tmux cast, I don't see the commands typed below the status bar.

I've read a lot of the reviews on the DoorBot Amazon page, and frankly, I would think twice about buying Ring. Not because of the many problems with the software/hardware that DoorBot suffered, but the lack of response from your customer service reps.

Not sure if you personally read them, but customer service unresponsiveness is a common theme in those 1-2 star reviews.

Have you done anything to address this problem? DoorBot was your first gen product; you HAD to expect problems and made sure people were being responded to.

Edit: forgot a word.

Pretty interesting! Started playing with the nested virtual machines, windows93 stopped loading after the 9th instance ;)

For what it's worth, the nightly builds seem freely available still (http://synergy-project.org/nightly/)

Any idea why I'm not being asked to take a picture with the card?

I created a "ditto" 3 times, and it always does the first 2 steps (place face in circle, then turn head left/right).

After that it just creates the ditto, and it seems the glasses are always too big or too small. Am I missing something?

What I found the most interesting in the complaint is the fact that Zenimax consistently provided Oculus with IP under their supposed NDA, while suggesting some form a compensation to Zenimax.

Even though Oculus was not responding (initially) to those requests, Zenimax STILL continued providing code to run on the Rift. It almost looks like Zenimax was trying to get to a point where they could sue Oculus.

The complaint then clearly describes Oculus's proposal (2% equity, subject to dilution, etc) and conveniently glosses over Zenimax's "larger share of equity" counter offer (which Oculus seemingly found far fetched).

And then the turning point; when Zenimax instructed Carmack to stop providing code for the Rift to Oculus, Carmack resigns and joins Oculus (eventually with 5 other "key" VR employees of Zenimax).

I can definitely see how this looks bad for Oculus. They will probably get slapped for the unauthorized IP usage for the DOOM videos, logos per their NDA. But for actual code? Who knows..

The Rift most likely does not run any of Zenimax's code at this point since Carmack must have rewritten it from scratch. But Carmack would obviously remember what and how he wrote the Rift's software; would that count as still infringing upon Zenimax's IP?

Robin's blog post is not only to respond to HN comments (as you may noticed, he addresses an observation made by another commenter on his own blog).

And he not only responds to the comments, but adds plenty of other information and reasons why he suspects optical media is used by Glacier.

So no, I don't see anything "meta" about this post.

How do you even come up to this conclusion? Knowing the magic key sequence is not required to operate a Linux system at all.

If a Windows box froze, and you had a (somewhat slim) chance of gracefully shutting it down, would you not use it?

Would you call pressing F8 to access magical boot options in Windows, a reason non-technical people wouldn't use Windows?
