Actually it was mentioned in the post: "I told Julie it had to be something terrible. I mean, a car company? We’d run reports on the launches of new vehicles, lots of them. They never looked like this."

So they knew it wasn't about a new car model, but some negative event.

Re:Trackers on Friday March 11, 2016 @04:01PM (#11269491)
Have you ever seen hotjar, inspectlet, mouseflow and many other service? I mean check out the demo page on the inspectlet site, type in your email address, check the recording and tell me they don't store it in plain text.

Ads in some context are okay. People who use adblockers wouldn't click on your ads even if they'd see them. But tracking is a completely different thing and much more serious. And most of the time I don't even have a choice, the website just tracks everything about me with no way of turning it off.
Re:Trackers on Friday March 11, 2016 @03:05PM (#11269118)
I completely agree with you. Not to mention the current trend(?) with solutions like hotjar or inspectlet where the whole html is sent to their servers with realtime cursor position, click and scroll information. This is really disturbing. And I guess 99% of the visitors don't even know that they are being tracked.
Re:Show HN: Mimic – class-fied inline CSS on Tuesday September 08, 2015 @05:46AM (#10184779)
So now I don't have to use inline styles, just spam my css file with margin:0-100 and padding:0-100 classes, and I'm good to go?
Re:You Do Not Have to Drink 8 Glasses of Water a Day on Monday August 24, 2015 @10:29AM (#10110000)
^ This. I have had kidney sand which bothered me a lot (because of stomach aching), until a doctor said that I should drink more water. I haven't had any problems since.

Yeah, if you use the Serbian pronunciation, and the Hungarian meaning of the word then it's a kind of bird: https://translate.google.com/#hu/en/pinty

This is why I read about one or two random thing every day. Of course reading is not doing, but it's better than not knowing.
You don't necessarily need a checkbox for this. Just place a text that says something like "By clicking on the 'Signup' button you agree to our Terms of service and whatnot". This is what facebook is uses, and twitter, and many other service.

Re:Facebook PHP Source Code from August 2007 on Sunday October 13, 2013 @05:19AM (#6541977)
I think it might be because if you write something like $PARAM_INT_sometypo that variable would be undefined, and it is easy to catch. But if you are using constants PARAM_INT_typo becomes a string[1]. That way you would have to do more validation about that, too.

But without more context it's not that easy to tell.

Webkit only: http://jsfiddle.net/nWKfr/1/ It's in the css files, so it is very easy to extract it.
Re:Breaker 101: An intensive online web security course on Tuesday June 11, 2013 @04:34PM (#5864535)
Is this for someone who finished the Stripe ctf last year? I think it is pretty much covered all the stuff what is offered in this course. By the way, in Hungary $1500 is about two months of payment, if you are a simple dev (in most places), so I don't know if it is really worth it, if you don't want to move to another country to work later. So I guess this is not for everyone.
