Sure, with an offline password manager backups and synchronization are up to you, but even if you end up relying on cloud storage it's a different story; for instance, if you store your KeePass database on a Dropbox account and said Dr

Password manager + two factor authentication whenever possible. As for the former: Opinions here differ but my recommendation would be not to trust a "cloud" password manager and employ an offline password manager instead. KeePass

You should absolutely use a password manager and two factor auth whenever you can, but the problem is what to do as a service provider and/or employer if people won't use either of the things. A lot of people are pretty careless

But it does withhold information: he's not keeping every penny because he'll have to pay taxes. No VCs involved != keep every penny.

There's an unwritten rule that says that if you program Go, whether you love it or hate it, you must ensure everybody knows about it. It would just be irresponsible otherwise.

This works (being good at understanding, anticipating and addressing criticism) until you realize it's turtles all the way down and at some point the returns of keeping up with the criticism become diminishing. One has to realize that:

Do you have any ETA? Sorry, I don't mean to be an ass, it's just our entire business is currently down because of this.

Looking forward to 1.0 final. InfluxDB is great, our only gripe so far is that it changes so fast that we just don't have the time to keep up with new versions. Hopefully with 1.0 final the team can finally have a stable version with s

It's a sad reality, but when it comes to people I've come to accept that by default you should expect malice and selfishness unless otherwise is proven (not that I condone being an ass to other people, but just don't trust in

The most important thing you are missing is traction. They reached half a billion signups recently, and have many millions of active users, which is very valuable in itself. Sure, if you were you start a file syncing dropbox competitor toda

This happens quite often with internet companies, passionate users reaching out and becoming support reps. There's something about really good products or brands that simply make people want to get involved.

Sure, my experience is that a bank will always ask for some sort of security with old fashioned loans, but I can't pretend I know what kind of deals would a billion dollar company get. But even if personal liability isn't on the l

That's typically the case, but if you take a business loan from an old school bank, the bank will usually ask the founders to sign with personal liability on top, regardless the company status. It's a different kind of deal becaus

You should consider that: a) The company can always go tits up at any moment without prior warning, however unlikely it appears to be now. A loan will always be riskier for the founders (personal liability) even if they are printing money r

That's a shame. I mean, I get the concern, but full Android compatibility would have done wonders to adoption, which is what their phone platform desperately needs. They could have always lured developers later with a substantially bet

Yeah this is confusing. The domains appear to belong to Google, but then the apps are listed under "Hello Network, Inc.". The overall language and design seem to be a bit unpolished for a Google product too.

I think about this often, and honestly, they don't seem to be worth it; I think if we got rid of all the share/like/tweet buttons the web would be pretty much the same (except with maybe less clutter).

Most likely they are exploiting a security hole to quickly gain root access. Over the years a number of "one-click" root exploits have appeared for Android, so it's not unthinkable that they are rooting on the fly. Besides, m

Talk to him, find out his motivation. You may find out that he's not out to get you and breached the server just for fun and recognition, in which case it'd be easier to sort out if you just talk.
