Ah, Adobe, how I want you to burn in an enormous, abyssal hellfire.

Quite a lot of cynicism and contempt expressed in this thread, and not entirely unjustified: historically, "governments of intellectuals" led to some of the worst regimes.

However, I want to look at this experiment more optimistically, see if this assembly can defeat the stereotype. I'll be observing its activity with interest!

In some clusters, senior academics are exactly like that.

My understanding is that companies tend do disclose the bare minimum they are required by law, and keep everything else to themselves.

Can we, like, also have a pinterest breach plz?

We just need the squirrels to coordinate as well!

Leave the general computing to us, citizen.

This is phenomenal, super important for me. I have always had my concerns about the classification, and the verification that such a monumental proof is correct gives me great confidence about the way we have been doing mathematics so far.

> Having a contact on linkedin who's hiring doesn't really count in that scenario.

Darn!

Ooh that's interesting, can you point me to the exact videos?

> Is it simply a bias in the sampling or are the people in math (the discipline) as shaken as the stuff that shows up on HN makes it look like?

My local community is in a mixture of denial and despair. Especially for the PhD students and postdocs, and faculty in terms of hiring (how do we hire?).

>If they broke laws then they would be investigated.

Ah, I love your optimism.

...really? Downvoting for the recursion joke?

>My prediction is that the "Hacking is Cool" dumb idea will be a dead idea in the next 10 years.

Too optimistic!

> I'd like to fantasize that it will be replaced with its opposite idea, "Good Engineering is Cool" but so far there is no sign that's likely to happen.

Now that's the right amount of pessimism.
