You are playing with words. The point is that there's really not much difference between 10% and 9.56%. Netflix's Grand Prize could very well had been 9.64% and it would already had been won, despite everybody saying one year ago that 9.64%

by Haskell 18y ago
And why do you think 10% is impossible but 9.5% is not?

by Haskell 18y ago
If the goal had been 5%, you would say: - It may be simply mathematically impossible to get to 5 percent... And they are already at 9.56%.

Linus once said that debuggers are for sissies. I knew he would regret saying that sometime. Here is another of his rants against debuggers. Just substitute 'kernel debugger' by 'simple chipset debugging facilities' (whatever that means) i

My point still is valid. Even these particular guys certainly would have written buggy code. A QA process could correct it.

"...not only wouldn't these guys have broken anything, they'd have gotten a lot more done." I don't think the claim that they would not have broken anything can be backed by facts. If you look at Microsoft, for instance, their programmers

"We did have a Gmail CSRF bug reported to us in September 2007 that we fixed worldwide within 24 hours of private disclosure of the bug details." What about bugs that aren't disclosed?

I mean: newspapers survived TV.

by Haskell 18y ago
"Companies as deeply entrenched in obsolete habits as most current print media companies tend not to survive major shifts like the arrival of the Internet." Wasn't TV a major shift? And yet they did survive.

Not only it scalable as it is the only solution. See "Good Patterns & procedures to prevent CSRF": http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Reviewing_code_for_Cross-Site...

What is the most active period of the day? I suppose hackers are night creatures. I am asking this because I am in another timezone and I would like to get a snapshot of HN at the right time.

Anyone that have read Wordpress' source code should not be surprised that it is the most exploited piece of software on the web. It was not created by programmers. It was created by web designers (hence its great visual design). Wordpress w

"Windows was great in that it allowed multiple hardware vendors to compete on hardware..." Well, that is the "commotitized the complements" part. The other part of your argument is that it is/was good enough for most users. But let me put t

I meant their main product - Coke, which has stagnated as a product for as long as I have lived upon this earth, and yet it is the leader in market share. But you are right that they have not stagnated on Coke's marketing, although those Sa

I don't think stronger substitutes (Job's better products) are the correct answer - and as you observed, FF has only scratched IE dominance, not eliminated it. Better product certainlly have some relevancy, because improving IE (IE7/8) will

Stagnation isn't a good argument if you take Coca-Cola into account. I don't know if Coca-Cola is a monopoly because Pepsi is a close substitute, but they are a leader in market-share in most continents, and if stagnation is what causes the

What amazes me most is that people will trust all their passwords to a piece of software and they don't really know what it is doing. If you want to install this Password Gorilla thing in your MacOS, how do you know if it isn't trojaned? Wh
