Incredible. Shutting of API access to paying customers after a 30 minute heads up at 6AM.

Astoundingly unprofessional.

"Moving fast and breaking things" is not acceptable in infrastructure.
They don't say what the timeframe for this issue is. Have passwords been logged for the last 6 months? Last 3 years? Was this a bug found and fixed last year, and only now are they reporting it?
Re:Jan Koum to leave after broad clashes with Facebook on Monday April 30, 2018 @05:36PM (#16962644)
A PR crafted response that doesn't indicate anything. Facebook is one of the largest centralized services on the internet, and has no desire to lessen that.
What the implications are for countries that severely restrict and monitor internet access? Would Chinese citizens be able to sign up for this service? Would SpaceX comply with foreign governments asking to ban connections or new customers from their countries?

Very interesting. I think it's unlikely that we are the only species that ingests materials/chemicals that make us feel good, aside from providing any nutritional value.
Re:Australian PM Calls for End-To-End Encryption Ban on Saturday July 15, 2017 @12:40AM (#14775060)
Pushed on how encrypted messages could be read when service providers don't hold the keys necessary decryption, and Turnbull had this to say:

Well, the laws of Australia prevail in Australia, I can assure you of that. The laws of mathematics are very commendable but the only laws that applies in Australia is the law of Australia.
