Bloomberg reporting was about a hardware hack.
The story has been on top of the page for a while now with over 500+ votes. I believe it got merged with a new story that messed up the vote count.
They may have fixed the "bug" now.
What an understatement.
a. Gizmodo says Facebook Is Giving Advertisers Access to Your Shadow Contact Information and HNers are concerned

WhatsApp, with more than 1.2 billion active users, is one of the easiest ways to send secure information.
“With WhatsApp, it’s as simple as sending a text message — but it’s encrypted,” Mr. Dance explained.
Also the departure of WhatsApp founders under uncertain terms, doesn't give me much confidence with usage of that app for clandestine operations.
Perhaps folks here who are well versed with the state of the app can chime in.
I need a higher level of certainty than investors do because my time is more valuable to me than their money is to them. Investors place bets in a portfolio of companies, but I only have one life.

I hate walled gardens. What troubles me more is that something that came from addressing a competitor's product (Fb's Instant Articles in this case) has grown to do more damage than what Instant Articles could have in the first place.

Money is cheap and easily available (to select few) which has helped players in private equity to borrow and spend. Consequence of this is that companies can stay private longer as there is more capital available in private funding rounds.
Take for example the case of Uber which has managed to raise $21.7B [0], something that in past would have only resulted from an IPO.

The belief that interests arrive fully formed and must simply be “found” can lead people to limit their pursuit of new fields and give up when they encounter challenges, according to a new Stanford study.
Mantras like “find your passion” carry hidden implications, the researchers say. They imply that once an interest resonates, pursuing it will be easy. But, the research found that when people encounter inevitable challenges, that mindset makes it more likely people will surrender their newfound interest.
