News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

A product called "Linkedin Intro" that was killed within 6 months due to backlash and significant security flaws. It was somehow creating a reverse imap proxy to intercept your email traffic, and "decorate" emails with someone's linkedin profile.

It was ~12 years ago, so there's not much left around, but here is an engineering blog post from Linkedin talking about how they architected it https://engineering.linkedin.com/mobile/linkedin-intro-doing...

As an owner of a $1,500 Google Glass - which now is pretty much a brick, as the companion app doesn't work anymore - knowing there is a new version in the market isn't very helpful.

Re:WeWork’s Adam Neumann Steps Down as CEO on Tuesday September 24, 2019 @03:28PM (#21063667)
Why "SV" hype? WeWork was founded and HQd in New York.
Yup, same here. Got early in the beta, spent $1,500 on the device, worked hard in building apps and demos, integrations, feedback, etc... evangelized others on how amazing this will be and... sorry, Glass is discontinued, your device is now useless (not counting that the prism started falling apart within a year of usage). No more, thanks.
What carrier was that? I keep hearing stories that, for some reasons, only involve T-Mobile - so I was wondering which one was that.
Re:SEC Sues Musk and Seeks Ban for His Tweets on Go-Private Deal on Thursday September 27, 2018 @06:05PM (#18089212)
Not sure though. SpaceX is a federal contractor. And to be at the helm of a company with federal access, you might need a clean record. When Musk was smoking pot on radio, the AirForce had to look into it to see if there was any actions they needed to take.
Said every acquisition ever.
You might have read in HN, in many threads, comments from people saying "I would NEVER work in a company that would do such things like X, Y, Z". The other day, the comments were about a company tracking the activity of every employee. Another day was about a company whose business model was invasive ads. Another thread was about a company forbidding work-from-home and expecting everyone to checkin at 8 am sharp. Another was about companies forbidding engineers to work on opensource on their spare time. The list goes on. These are all examples of "culture" in my mind. As one might say "I'll never work there, ever" - there are plenty of people that would and they do indeed. The difference is the "I would fit there". If I know that the company "requires" to work long hours, or doesn't want work from home, or expects you to be on call at any given time, or expect people to be brutally honest with each other - as interviewer, I would be mindful of someone who will not fit these criterias. And many of these criterias are not good or bad - see the being brutally honest vs we are respectful of everyone feeling: it's just that the "wrong fit" would be run over by the organization within weeks and would likely result in the employee to be dismissed. Everyone would lose.
