>Today, the Senate Commerce Committee questioned former Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, Verizon chief privacy officer Karen Zacharia and both the current and former CEOs of Equifax on how to protect consumers against major data breaches.
That has got to be some kind of joke.
Why would they ask the former leaders of two companies (Yahoo and Equifax) who have experienced perhaps the largest data breaches of all time... "how to protect consumers against major data breaches?"
That is ridiculous.
They should have asked the current head of security from each company instead.
I used to use the betfair platform until it they blocked themselves from being viewed in Canada for some strange reason right after they were purchased by ladbrokes I believe it was.
Anyways, after playing with them for a few years, I was horrified to learn about their 60% tax on consistent winners that they have dubbed a "premium charge".
Found some sort of edge to exploit and reap profits?
Betfair doesn't even care to talk to you to ask you what you are doing, they will just charge you 60% of your winnings once you go over a certain limit. [0]
The class of people that can pay $40 for an uber ride home right to their door is entirely different from the class of people who would wait 15 minutes out in the elements to pay $2 for a ride that would take them within a 10 minute walk of their home.
I don't really consider myself an uber or a bus person... I drive myself around most of the time and just choose not to drink too much when I am out.
But I have never shared an uber with anybody who I regularly take public transit with.
And i have never shared a public transit ride with anybody who I regularly share an uber ride home with.
All I am getting at is I do not believe that Uber is stealing away too many people from the bus system at least where I reside.
By targeting recent visitors to a subreddit... they are essentially no longer targeting anyone.
I rarely browse the reddit homepage, but I know that most redditors do.
And what's on the homepage that most everybody who looks at it clicks through to? Any and every random subreddit you could think of.
I have seen /r/bitcoin on the homepage recently.
I have seen /r/security on the homepage recently.
I have seen /r/rtlsdr on the homepage recently.
That's ridiculous.
If I want to advertise a SDR to the "rtlsdr" crowd, I do not want to pay for impressions for every single user on reddit who has just recently viewed /r/rtlsdr because they had a quirky post which resonated with people.
>You’re so hyped for this project and confident that it will succeed that you start thinking about the future: “how will I scale my application for the millions of users it will have?”
That's one of my side project vices!
Every time I write a new login database... I wonder if I should make the ID a MEDIUMINT or INT.
I don't know a ton about Zcash or Monero, I only know that Zcash advertises and actually produces truly anonymous transactions (that the founders can unmask, or so I have read).
Is Monero anonymous as well? For every transaction? Or only specific ones (like Zcash).
And this is coming from a security-conscious company?
Unless I mined the Bitcoins myself, and never spent the remaining 12.45 BTC that I mined (after presumably spending 0.05 BTC on protonmail)... it is far from "Anonymous".
That has got to be some kind of joke.
