It was, but I don't know why. I'm curious to hear if Heroku releases any information about how this happened. Heroku's DNS was returning a single 100.64.x.x address which is in a reserved range.
> Equifax, however, did not fully patch its systems. Equifax’s Automated Consumer Interview System (ACIS), a custom-built internet-facing consumer dispute portal developed in the 1970s, was running a version of Apache Struts containing the vulnerability. Equifax did not patch the Apache Struts software located within ACIS, leaving its systems and data exposed.
1970s? Am I reading that right? HTML wasn't even developed yet.
Most likely they had a web front end that talks to the legacy system. Very common in big companies.
It was probably developed very quickly, possibly outsourced, and just stuck in front of the older system with minimal re-engineering.
Many years ago, I worked on a system that put an X Windows front end in front of a mainframe app that used a 3270 emulator to interact with parts of the legacy app. I imagine this is somewhat similar.
> “When Emma contacted me saying the source sent her the same docs too, I took a hash of my original HTML file and it checked out, so she has a copy of the same file as me,” Lee told Motherboard in a Twitter direct message. A hash is a cryptographic fingerprint of a file; if someone has tampered the file at all, those hashes won’t match.
> Lee said his source provided an HTML file of the DMs, and then Lee logged into the Twitter account himself and downloaded the direct messages with an automated tool.
> “I confirmed that they were authentic (Twitter itself would have had to doctor them) and that the source didn't modify the content in the copy he gave me,” Lee told Motherboard.
If MtGox only had enough funds to cover 15% of deposits, and they paid back each creditor 15% of their claim a year ago, the creditor could have bought Bitcoin with what was refunded and be in the same situation now. Instead, they seem to be dragging it out. I think most creditors would rather have something last year than nothing right now. Additionally, there's no upside for creditors if Bitcoin becomes $5,000.

It's funny you mention this, because from what I can understand of Japanese bankruptcy proceedings[1], any excess assets remaining after paying off creditors would probably be given to the MtGox shareholders, which primarily consists of Mark Karpeles[2] alone. I believe the term surfacing in other circles is "unjust enrichment"[3][4].
He showed up on Reddit saying he's finding ways to return the excess back to creditors in case price stays over 100% claims at the time of distribution.
Sure, and then there's Prime, which they're reveiving revenue for and providing many different services. That revenue is probably not counted as shipping, yet they have costs to send out those free Prime packages.
Realistically, pizzas are a pretty poorly shaped thing for a drone to carry since it would block all of the propellers and it would definitely be way more effort to keep warm. Self driving cars are probably perfect for this, though. In California, self driving cars are classified as neighborhood vehicles which can't go over 25 which is probably fine for restaurant delivery.
"Cooler" scale ground drones seem like the thing being done for pizza now. See starship.xyz and Domino's DRU for examples that are already entering service. Potentially very effective stuff that can beat the flying and car-sized stuff just by being simpler to engineer and faster to market, with minimal regulatory issue.
So this technology is useless because years of wear and tear will make you need to replace the roof eventually? Isn't that pretty normal for any house?
Texas resident here. There's a guy who's been riding a Segway around my neighborhood looking for weather damage from recent storms, and his pitch to homeowners is that they don't need to replace the entire roof, just the section where things are--or will soon be--leaking.
It's probably more efficient to replace the entire roof at once, and insurers would almost certainly prefer the entire roof to be the same age, but asphalt does have some advantages for situations in which nearly every storm tears up just a few shingles.
