Facebook's fly by the seat of your pants "move fast and break things" model is cute and all, but moves like this are going to be their death by 1000 cuts. Unlike Zuckerburg's claim, privacy anxiety is not fleeting, they just had such a mon

Most people can tune out things they're not interested in. Vermont is a tourist trap and as such doesn't allow billboards. Should they allow them and just tell the leaf-peepers to enjoy the scenery around the billboards? Or is the prese

Putty is a great case to look at next time you hear someone trumpet the benefits of how fast or often their code is deployed to users. Everyone knows the waterfall model is a bad idea, what I wonder is how fast of iteration is too fast? Wh

The lower level networking protocols do rely on some levels of peer trust, but carefully controlling that trust has come a long way in the last decade. If I'm correct in assuming by "actual security" you mean "physical security" you're mak
