There's quite a bit of u.s. government on amazon cloud. Using a cloud service doesn't magically give you better security. This is more an indication of the NSA focusing too strongly on offensive/monitoring operations and not

What a tempest in a tea cup. Reddit users have a far too high opinion of themselves. We're all getting tired of their angsty drama leaching over into real life.

They have to use Amazon's VPC service - AWS has a 'secure' vpc service where you don't share the server with other customers which is a requirement for HIPAA compliance. That service gets really pricey. I run a similar s

Install in your browser disconnect (2?) and cookie cutter (I think that's the name - sorry, on cellphone). It's a completely different experience on the web. Your cookies are deleted every session and all ad/monitoring links

I only know what happened in my case. I worked for a Swiss company that was bought by Adobe. They pretty quickly expanded our office and we became an rnd center - the other in Europe being Hamburg. Other examples, macromedia became their sa

I remember when I moved from obj-c to java (as WebObjects made the same transition) and being amazed at just how bad the java standard libraries where compared to the obj-c foundation and other nextstep libraries. The obj-c libraries were s

I usually say that one shouldn't feel loyalty to a corporation because the corporation has no loyalty to you, but Adobe is different. It did feel like they looked out for you - the corporate culture is good and the workers are happy (a

I read Greek classics - mostly philosophers. I usually have something going as I read modern stuff. And I say, the Greek stuff can be pretty boring. It's a lot of pontificating and observation and doesn't really interest modern re

Something I don't understand about fusion, doesn't it also produce radioactive waste? Does the containment system get irradiated with high-energy neutrons? Ok, I looked it up myself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#

Seems to work well in Switzerland. Every now and then there's a trafficking bust that usually involves Asians that aren't legal workers. Prostitutes have to be able to legally work in Switzerland which means that nearly all of the

Jesus, what a mess. Sounds like someone made a decision without doing even a modicum of research into pricing. Bowing to peer pressure just means someone is managing by consensus.

I think there's only one that I'm comfortable talking about since it was long ago and the people involved have all moved on from their parent companies. Louis Vuitton was relaunching their public-facing website, which was tightly

Aggressive behavior is the norm when working as a consultant. You have to know that it's not personal and that part of it is negotiation on the part of the client, part of it is anger on the part of the client, some of it is just due t

Are they using Postgres for content, or for data? (at a place where I can't really watch a movie) There are some great content management tools out there, my favorite being apache jackrabbit, and on top of that, apache sling for displa

There's plenty of helium in natural gas, but it isn't being separated because the current price of helium is artificially low because of government manipulation (subsidies probably isn't the right way to describe it)

How would one know that there's an uber car to wave down? Or does the uber driver see someone trying to pick up a taxi and stop?

That's an impressive picture, but the 'lumberjacks' that I've seen lately by our cabin in WI are two guys with a giant robot-like machine that grabs onto the tree, cuts all of the branches off, cuts it into separate sect

So Github gives their product away to people that don't have enough money to host on their own secure servers, and... what else? Where do they make their money? It seems from the comments here that their enterprise market is trivial.

There have been multiple examples of github's poor security over the years. https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/b83965785db1eec019edf1... and also poor security on the part of programmers where they su

Yes, it is trivial to run your own email, storage, backups, etc. In fact, you can't even use amazon for email since you can't set up a ptr with them. But if you do want to use Amazon securely I believe that they have the ability t

But why would you put your IP on another company's servers? I guess if the value of your company was something other than your code then it would make sense.
