Meet Mårten Mickos, Serial Open Source CEO (Video) Slashdotby Roblimo on security at January 1, 1970, 1:00 am (cached at November 20, 2015, 11:33 pm)

Marten was the MySQL CEO who built the company from a small-time free software database developer into a worldwide software juggernaut he sold to Sun Microsystems. Next, he became CO of Eucalyptus Systems, another open source operation, which sold to Hewlett Packard in 2014. Now Mårten is CEO of hackerone, a company that hooks security-worried companies up with any one of thousands of ethical hackers worldwide. Some of those hackers might be companies that grew out of university CS departments, and some of them may be high school students working from a ktchen table. Would a large company Board of Directors trust a kid hacker who came to them with a bug he found in their software? Probably not. But if Mårten or one of his hackerone people contacts that company, it's likely to listen -- and set up a bug bounty program if they don't have one already. Essentially, once again Mårten is working as an intermediary between technically proficient people -- who may not conform to sociey's idea of a successful person -- and corporate executives who need hackers' skills and services but may not know how to find non-mainstream individuals or even know the difference between "hackers" and "crackers." Editor's note: I have known and respected Mårten for many years. If this interview seems like a conversation between two old friends, it is.

Hands-On With the Voltera V-One PCB Printer Slashdotby Soulskill on hardhack at January 1, 1970, 1:00 am (cached at November 20, 2015, 11:03 pm)

szczys writes: Eric Evenchick was one of the first backers of the Voltera V-One PCB Printer and just received the 6th device shipped so far. He ran it through its paces and published a review that gives it a positive rating. The hardware uses conductive ink to print traces on FR4 substrate. The board is then flipped upside down and the traces baked on the machine to make them robust. Next the printer dispenses solder paste and the same heating method is used to reflow after components are placed by hand.

Tesla To Voluntarily Recall Every Model S Because One Seat Belt Came Apart Slashdotby Soulskill on transportation at January 1, 1970, 1:00 am (cached at November 20, 2015, 10:33 pm)

An anonymous reader writes: Earlier this month, a passenger in a Tesla Model S turned to talk to people in the back seat, and her seat belt somehow disconnected itself from the front seat. According to a Tesla spokesperson, "The seat belt is anchored to the outboard lap pretensioner through two anchor plates that are bolted together. The bolt that was supposed to tie the two anchors together wasn't properly assembled." Though the company hasn't been able to replicate the issue on any other cars, Tesla is issuing a recall for roughly 90,000 Model S vehicles so they can test that bolt.
