What's the difference? It's a systemic flaw.
If there exists an incentive for finding vulnerabilities, there exists an incentive for introducing vulnerabilities. Bug bounties work great for closed source companies because there doesn't exist a misalignment of incentives. If Johnny keeps writing buggy code, he gets fired. If anonymous234 gets his buggy pull request approved, confederate anonymous456 gets to make a few bucks.
Follow up #2: For the skeptical downvoters, I'll put my money where my mouth is and attempt to capture the bounties using the method described above.
So in case anyone else is wondering, this is what's offered for the additional $300. For myself personally, it doesn't seem worth it at the moment.
Ask HN: Stripe Atlas for LLC. Worth It?
Stripe Atlas: https://stripe.com/atlasI'm looking into forming an LLC, and while I am a big fan of Stripe, I can't really understand the value proposition of using Stripe Atlas to form an LLC. Forming a Delaware LLC costs about ~$200 online through some other services. While Stripe Atlas does provide Azlo (https://www.azlo.com/) for LLC's, Azlo is free regardless. So what am I getting for the...
Asking for a referral for an x-ray/ultrasound for your back pain will often make them go "Here, why don't you try this opioid first and see if it gets better?"
Obviously I am not recommending that anyone try it without medical supervision, but people should at least know that it's an option.

Ask HN: VC's, do you actually read every cold pitch email?
We all know that the best way to get connected to a VC is through a trusted mutual acquaintance, but of course not everybody has the network. So to the VC's on here: do you actually read every cold pitch email and, if so, how much time on average would you say you dedicate to every email?

His post (and this thread) is a good resource for weighing the pros and cons of moving to any city. Many people move to NYC with ridiculous expectations of living their dream and become despondent when they realize the subways smell like urine and the people can be as cold as the weather.
And you take an extremely condescending tone while addressing OP's lack of humility while making statements attacking him for "especially from one not understanding how science actually works."
How does science actually work? Are we supposed to follow Popper? Or Kuhn? Or Feyerabend? Should we go with logical positivism or empiricism?
Is it to steadfastly argue positions far outside your domain expertise or engage in discourse and learn?
Why would that be the case? If this were the case, the biological density of the highest-temperature locations in the ocean should be significantly higher than average. This has not been observed. Quite the opposite, actually.
Secondly, in thermodynamic terms, heat is the least useful form of energy. Heat is often the waste product of a chemical/mechanical process and cannot be easily be converted into other forms of energy without significant loss.
And no offense, but water and carbon are both trivial well defined concepts. Energy is also fairly well defined.
Ask HN: My startup is a feature, not a product
My company sells a product in a space where there are 2-3 incumbents that capture 99% of the revenue. So far, our customers LOVE our product's primary feature, but I'm afraid that once we actually become popular enough to register on our competitors' radars, they will simply copy our feature and we'll be toast.Our product is not nearly as feature rich as our competitors, but we manage to...
Ask HN: Is it possible to monetize a chat app?
It seems like the answer should be an obvious yes, but nobody I know (myself included) has ever paid for one. I think I've got a great idea for a chat app, but I really can't see anyone paying for it when there are great alternatives that are free. It seems like even if my app were to go viral, the endgame would be to either get acquired (like WhatsApp) or become an entire platform (like...
Got in touch with support and they claimed that the manufacture date was outside the applicable range (doesn't make any sense since it's custom built). Will have to escalate to someone higher up since it seems that the lower level staff aren't even aware of this program yet.
>>> Yeah one anecdote, ageism must be solved! Good job Google, we did it!
It's posters like you that turn people off HN.
