yeah, the PR is totally unclear about how they got hacked, or if they even know

yes, they literally logged everyone out, removed 2FA, and on the new login, users had to re-add 2FA
Re:Amazon acquires MGM for $8.5B on Wednesday May 26, 2021 @09:49AM (#27290452)
for what is worth, Amazon already won a few golden globes:

a few more in the past with Fleabag and others

As a Snr Eng in one of the FAANG, my _personal_ list:

- interesting problem domain (which does not necessarily mean trendy): this is about selling to others why the problem and your company matters

- equity/career progression: (controversial comment incoming...) a strong Snr in a FAANG will most likely be a CTO/VP type of leader in a startup, so provide generous equity

- freedom in terms of decision making: present (business) problems and let people go and tackle them, you don't want to be micromanaging

- freedom in terms of work/life balance: let people manage their schedules, being fully remote, location independent - stuff that most FAANGs will struggle to compete with

Re:A one-year moratorium on police use of Rekognition on Wednesday June 10, 2020 @08:42PM (#23483960)
Does anyone know how exactly is the Police integration done with Rekognition? I mean, they must have it integrated into their IT systems, right? Who did that integration? AWS itself? Or some consulting companies? Or the PD's Tech Department?
it's ironic that 8 is the chinese number for luck

The OP needs to put a date on the article, because AFAIK things are very different in 2019.

Also, it's interesting how they equate "experimentation" with "open source".

Quote of the Day:

"The seventy percent of New Yorkers who supported Amazon and now vent their anger also bear responsibility and must learn that the silent majority should not be silent because they can lose to the vocal minority and self-interested politicians."

Re:Ask HN: Do you have a side project you want to sell? on Monday November 07, 2016 @07:27PM (#12896574)
A few years ago I co-started http://www.bitcoinpulse.com. I had to take it down last year after running out of time to deal with it, but I've recently brought back a simplified version.

While the traffic is insignificant at the moment, I'd like to believe that the brand is still strong and a small push could revive the traffic.

The twitter account https://twitter.com/bitcoinpulse has a small following - there are a few known people from the bitcoin community (but the vast majority seem like "bot" accounts).

It's written in clojure/script and hosted on heroku.

I'll take offers in bitcoin (obviously). Any interested parties can email me at [email protected]

Not to mention that he had built several other things prior to starting Facebook.

There's also a lot of libs/services he can use

And if he needs help in understanding or implementing something, he can always ask for some help from someone @ FB...

I've been working on this since around the beginning of the year, still a lot of things missing, but might as well get some feedback since this "topic" has been getting a lot of attention (with BJ Novak's app and Fred's post and others): http://alpha.ohyeahlists.com/

as the url implies, it's still in alpha stage
