No, money wasn't being stolen, but the validation error meant that clients' money was being spent and not being tracked. The company had to eat the costs.
I just spent 15 minutes Googling this guy because his site in his profile was interesting. He humblebrags about employability, but he's incapable of finding work. He also makes bomb threats: http://blog.up.co/2012/04/30/not-even-bmob-threats-could-det...
Liberals tend to favor equality of outcome while conservatives tend to favor equality of opportunity.
These kinds of diversity reports usually show that "white people are overrepresented" and "hispanic and black people are underrepresented". They usually do not mention that asians are GROSSLY overrepresented. It doesn't fit the agenda because, despite being the most successful ethnic group in the US in terms of income, they are not considered "powerful".
Actually, I am reminded of an error that happened which was similar to this. After I left a past company, an engineer flubbed a validation which allowed a subtle bug to go undetected for 10 days which cost the company $500,000.
I ported a project to Rust and then ported it to C++14 (which is awesome!), but I only did that because Rust was in a state of massive flux at the time and I got tired of the project breaking every two days due to changes to the compiler/syntax/stdlib. I plan to reevaluate Rust once it's settled down a bit.
It's not trivia. If someone doesn't know the difference, they're going to allow bad data into our database. Large webapps with poor model validations are security and maintenance nightmare.
The reason you don't get a reply (in the US anyways) is for legal reasons. If you say anything which could be even remotely (mis)interpreted as some sort of bias, your company could lose lots of money/time and potentially go bankrupt due to a discrimination lawsuit.
It's sadly safer to just not reject candidates at all. Don't hate the player, hate the game.
It's not people, though. It's bots! While changing the ssh port adds a comically small amount of security (if any), it isolates you from 99.99% of automated attacks and keeps those logs clean, so I'd recommend it for everyone.
Just remember that the port argument to `scp` is -P and not -p like it is for `ssh`. :p
Changing the port to something other than the default (even to something obvious like 22222) will get rid of all the log spam. You could also use something like fail2ban, but changing the port is much simpler.
