Well, since this "mistake" has most likely been there since day one, then it is possible that either Biz Stone or Noah Glass were to blame. I am sure there was no "thorough" security code review done prior to first launch, or this "mistake" would have been caught.
-- my opinions, so I could be completely off mark here.

Researchers have found eight new flaws in computer central processing units that resemble the Meltdown and Spectre bugs revealed in January, a German computing magazine reported on Thursday. That's great, because they almost fixed the old ones already

Perfectly summarizes how we all feel about it.
Maybe all these bugs will cause all computing to become completely untenable.
Shutdown the Internet and AI. Back to the stone tablets.

Scientists have created time crystals out of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, a chemical commonly found in fertilizers and fire extinguishers. That strikes me as an appropriate place for these "important" discoveries

You've just finished installing the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) on your Windows 10 computer and feel pleased to see your favorite Linux distro icon pinned to your taskbar. You click to open a shell session and think, "OK, what can I do with it?". Because it is The Year of Linux (on Windows)

As the team announced at the company’s F8 developer conference today, the ELF OpenGo bot has now achieved professional status after winning all 14 games it played against a group of top 30 human Go players recently. At least we can still beat the computers at the game of "off switch"

Quote: Facebook’s AI Research group has also developed a StarCraft bot that can handle the often chaotic environment of that game. The company plans to open-source this bot, too.
So, my only question is what's going to be higher. The number of people using the bot to cheat in competitive play, or the number of people accusing anyone who beats them of using the bot to cheat? 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
