The reason that people prefer per-seat is because humans historically have a great fear large downsides. Paying per-seat is a form of insurance - I know I'm paying a premium but I won't get any shocks that the end of the month.

This is a great marketing move as it tries something that many people who are charged $/£/€/?50+ for an overweight kilogram will have muttered at checkin desks. The truth is that it doesn't work because the bag restrictions are there for re

Great writeup and it looks like an excellent tool. We'll definitely give it a try. Parallelization is really hard to get right and any tools that can help are much appreciated.

TL;DR: If you can get funding from a Canadian VC or Angel fund, it'll be easier to get a Canadian visa. No links to the Government site to confirm details but this seems to be the official details: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/m

Hi Jan, Thank you for the work you've done on ownCloud. It's a fantastic project and it would be my first choice for hosting as I self-host everything. But a client that is willing to delete files instead of syncing them is just not worth r

I dumped ownCloud after it deleted a critical file for some unknown reason. The bug is still open. Maybe the calendar and addressbook handling is better, but I won't be trusting it.

Sad that your first though when seeing South Africa is institutional racism. South Africa has had a fully democratic government for almost 20 years. Would the same comment be acceptable if Google were doing this in Mississippi which ratifie

This is a disappointing comment. Africa is a big place with a diverse and exploitative history. Botswana is higher than Taiwan in the 2010 Transparency International ranking [1]. Regarding your assertion of an agenda by the opposition party

One of the problems with US health insurance is that it is tax deductible only when "paid" by the employer. Making it deductible by everyone would help. The article does not account for the difficulty of shopping around. If you have the tim

TL;DR: viruses. Does not discuss that fact that the dominant platform will inherently encourage malware creators to write for that platform. Implies that Mac is inherently more secure with no evidence.

Choice is a great thing and for some jobs it's reasonable to allow people some flexibility in where and when they work. But I would be less happy flying on Mr Branson's airline if the pilots were allowed to telecommute.

If you'd like to support the fight against this kind of stupidity, please consider supporting the Open Rights Group. It's the UK equivalent of the EFF and they do great work. http://www.openrightsgroup.org/

This reminds me of an interview with a bank robber (by a sociologist). He was talking about a job that they're done quite a few years back and how he was amused at the media reports afterwards. They all said that it was a highly organized g

Great stuff, thanks Moxie. Any chance you could release WhisperCore/WhisperMonitor (even as a paid app) so non-Apple devices would also have the option of a usable firewall?

This is true, but it's a question of what the risk is. Externally hosting usually has 2 possible catastrophic outcomes: data loss and data exposure. As you probably have the code checked out by a number of employees, data loss is annoying b

Any reason you chose RedMine over ChiliProject ( https://www.chiliproject.org/ )? Also, I'd support any effort to collate good self-hosted options for startups.

I'd agree that this is one criterion, but being funded is neither necessary nor sufficient :)

It's true that just changing the port doesn't add much to protect against brute-force attacks, but it's not the full story. Many automatic scanners try port 22 and then give up for that host. I've found that changing the port means that I'm

Great list, thank you. For people looking to use apps, please consider the likelihood and impact of one of these companies disappearing overnight. Some of them are tech startups without a sustainable critical mass and they could shut down a
