It's not a requirement in the UK.

Awesome!

That actually makes it easier. Build a non-profit competitor, get the press, charities & public behind it and shame the fuckers in to switching. With material like that it would be like shooting fish in a barrel.

Start a kickstarter campaign to create a not for profit, ethical competitor to JPay? Providing the prisons still get a similar commission (which according to the article isn't where the lion's share of the fees comes from), why wo

Love the price. Shame they haven't got an EU presence :(

Successful Mars orbit for 0.42% of the price Facebook paid for Whatsapp. Awesome job and glad ISRO doesn't seem to suffer from the same bad luck the Russians do when it comes to Mars!

I really enjoyed sama's delivery. It was easy to digest; not too fast, not too slow; important ideas/concepts were repeated but not overly so; the choice and sequence of topics covered was very good. Length was just about right to

Hard to beat http://gogetssl.com price wise. I'd get a Comodo Positive SSL Wildcard so you can use it for the main site and the static sub-domain. That way one cheap cert covers everything and it's SHA-2.

If anyone uses comodo certs, they have a page up explaining how this change affects you: http://www.comodo.com/e-commerce/SHA-2-transition.php tl;dr They will re-issue SHA-2 versions of your certs for free.

Yep, really good points. Basically, the Bay Area is a land unto itself and assuming tech salaries in other parts of the country/world should be at comparable levels isn't really realistic.

SV is an anomaly. You have a super high concentration of VCs ploughing tens of millions in to hundreds (probably thousands) of companies. It's easy to compete for talent when you have millions of someone else's money to spend on p

Not sure but I guess they will release a 4G one if it isn't. I bought a Moto G 4G last month here in the UK and it's fantastic, really happy with it.

Surely if the feds bust the seller they'll then have access to his private key and be able to decrypt all his buyers order requests?

Yep, I do the same. Master truecrypt container on a USB stick that just contains a text file with all my logons. Then whenever I change that file I backup the truecypt container to Spideroak so I'm not hosed if I my stick gets lost&#x2

What's Mongolia's population density (I haven't checked but my guess is not very high)?

by corford 12y ago
Second that. The Moto G 4G punches well above its weight and I couldn't be more happy with mine (speed, battery life, fit & finish - it's all excellent). The only thing that isn't great is Lenovo buying Motorola. I have a

Oh come on.... the on-line rags are awash with stories of Travis Kalanick's abrasive character and less than honourable approach to doing business. It's hardly a secret.

They raised $15 million from Greylock and Benchmark which I guess will help keep the wolves at bay until they a). figure out how to monetize or b). get bought by Oracle/VMWare or similar

My conclusion: providing you don't share a land border with the area you are upsetting (Chechnya, Palestine), most 'would be' terrorists lack the means/skill/desire to make a trip to your homeland to perform an atro

by corford 12y ago
Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. I think my point still stands though. I'd be more inclined to believe there's a serious terrorist problem if something like that was happening once or twice a year. As it stands, if you live in

Blacks, whites or cops killing blacks - whatever it is, it's more than terrorists killing blacks. I could have worded my other paragraph slightly better - what I meant was no western person (since we're talking about potential for

Lots of people are posting highlighting how pointless airport security is given the ease with which a terrorist can bypass it by e.g. blowing himself up in the security line, targeting buses or shopping malls, making weapons from stuff boug

I like the single container on top of a very bare vm approach. That seems like the best of both worlds and (thanks to everyone's replies) I'm beginning to better understand the advantages to testing and deployment docker brings. L
777.
by corford 12y ago
Ok, that makes sense. For your workload (large and elastic), I guess I can see the advantage of using docker to quickly provision a newly created vm (assuming the vm's role is completely provided for by just that one container).
778.
by corford 12y ago
Fair point. I guess for serious stuff I just find it bizarre that you'd want to run a load of containers in a vm (rather than just spooling up additional dropelts or linode instances). For non 'weekend project' stuff, surely

I've been waiting for the hype to die down a bit and for the project to stabilise before properly playing with it but, from the outside looking in, I must admit I struggle to see how it's gaining as much attention as it is. I can
