It wasn't offensive and I wasn't offended. Sometimes it's a better use of my time to stop reading an article half-way. Anyhow, this post is in the same vein as the AA redesign by Dustin Curtis. The criticism is interesting and useful. The c

I really like reading design critics like this one. It's detailed and most points are well supported. I stopped reading though when the OP offered his "better" version. It's not that his version is bad but redesigns by outsiders necessarily

Thanks for offering your perspective, it's the best thing I've read in this thread...

I started my business on my own (and that's one of the downside of starting late, none of my friends where up for this kind of adventure, plus I'm an expat, so the people I knew and trusted best were 4k miles away), so I did everything myse

For what it's worth, I had a 'drag' score of 7 when I founded my startup. Without a wife and a child to motivate me to try harder, and without 10+ years of experience in technology, I would never have been able to accomplish half of what I'

From the FTC website, the list of "reasonable steps" that twitter (and really, any web app) should have taken: * requiring employees to use hard-to-guess administrative passwords that are not used for other programs, websites, or networks;

minor, but I object to your "Non-funded startups typically don't have employees" statement. Or perhaps profitable startups don't qualify as startups anymore?

Maybe the examples aren't great, but it's a very nice tool, and certainly useful if used wisely. Reminds me of The New York Times app on the iPad. When you changing the orientation, the content is reorganized to fit the available space. Gre

and unless you plan on working alone, you'll have to hire people. You can't hire people the same way you talk yourself into entrepreneurship. They're not going to be co-founders, they won't have a great upside, they're going to be paid a sa

You're indeed correct, both on the technical issue, and the more general question of exploit demonstrations being the best way to understand vulnerability issues. Thanks for the detailed explanation.

For it to be a XSS, the javascript has to run in a different context (someone else browser). I'd say the issue you found is worrisome, but not in itself a vulnerability.

Very true. We show our uptime report to our customers. That in itself is probably worth more that what we're paying Pingdom.

by cedsav 17y ago
You probably underestimate the added-value that (most) webapps provide over open-source tools or the code-it-yourself approach. We pay for Pingdom's service because: * our time is precious, we'd rather not do it ourselves. * we don't want t

It's not a zero-sum game. If they do well, it doesn't mean at all that you're going to fail. With a large team and large funding, your competitor has set for itself a very high bar for success. You, on the other hand, can declare victory by

While I find junk mail material sometime entertaining, I can't help to think that it's designed to sell to a certain category of people. Especially long copy. It's often for questionable products, dubious benefits or almost scams. And whi

Just took it for a ride with a coworker. One thing we noticed quickly is that we can't see each others highlights. Also when we were done, being able to see a quick diff of the change would been nice (but perhaps it's in the 'save as' optio

"neutrality" is a charged word. To claim neutrality you would have to agree that there are legitimate claims on both sides of a controversy. I wouldn't blame RC for taking a stance if they believe their point of view to be correct. Did they
