Ask HN: How do you protect a PDF from being modified?
It has to be free and opensource software.
So, which pdf form filler should we use if we do not want our filled data to be leaked or sold.
Is there any opensource solution which offers this? I am particularly concerned about WhatsApp's proprietary code.
Deploying the new version of the app isn't helping either.
Instance count is still at zero.
These can be auxiliary services like issue tracker, git repo hosting service etc...
Where do you get those famous $1 or $2 a month servers from?
The LLC is registered in Delaware and the employee himself lives in NYC where he bought lots of real estate with sales proceeds from stolen code.
I understand you can sue anyone anytime. But it doesn't mean, you'll win or it will be worth it.
Taking completely financial aspect (no hate/hard feelings/ego stroking).
If this employee sells $100 worth of stolen software, then it's not worth suing him or is it? As the damage is not even enough to cover legal costs.
So, at what damage level does it make sense to sue this person? Can we only sue for the actual theft amount (amount invoiced out of his new LLC) or we can sue for an amount exceeding the actual theft?
At what level of theft it makes a financial sense to sue this person, taking into consideration only the legal fees, not our personal time?
Most likely, the affected parties will sue this company. During the operation (let's assume it lasts 12 months before affected parties realize and start filing suit). During the operation, he lives like a king, spends lavishly.
What will happen at the end? When lawsuit arrives, he can simply declare bankruptcy and start again.
The smart employee used a Limited Liability Company, his personal assets are not at risk. Whatever salary he drew is his own along with the dividends. Not to mention the benefits offered by his company like chartered jets, business travels etc... These can't be taken away from him.
Why are most employees not doing this? Or are there other mechanisms to prevent this from happening?
If you can retire by doing such thing one time, isn't it better than working your ass off for the rest of the life for some evil corp?
We plan to add BitPay for them, but we also need a backup method in case, BitPay fails. Our gateway routing infra is already in place, so it will be trivial to route payment request elsewhere incase of downtimes.
I am thinking about an app where people can take a pic of their hand and upload it to a remote database.
The deep learning algorithm infers and correlates, future of the audience.
Most likely, the affected parties will sue this company. During the operation (let's assume it lasts 6 months before affected parties realize and start filing suit). During the operation, he lives like a king, spends lavishly.

It seems employees can simply steal IP/secrets and start an LLC, sell at a heavy discount, live like a king and simply declare bankruptcy at the end and start over?
But I suspect whatsapp has shared encryption keys with state actors.
Are there any opensource p2p encrypted messenger?
