I think you are looking at it inside a box, as an isolated issues. Patent litigation is simply a weapon used by companies offensively or defensively. When in a fight with your competitors you look at your weapons and theirs. When evaluatin

Drummond is very smart. And he's always been friendly to me. But that's not to be confused with Google being the good guy. They tried to buy these patents and failed. And they claim that they aren't litigious with patents, and they haven

This can't be surprising to anyone. Trying to use technicalities to skirt the law rarely works out with any meaningful success.

It's a nice tribute to Len. Len's indirectly the reason I live in San Francisco today, and why I moved here without a job after graduating college. Through Len I met people who are my close friends in the hacker community today. The las

Am I the only one who finds some slight irony in this document being a PDF rather than an standards-based HTML document? None the less, I agree with the author -- and it's how we try to design at OpenDNS these days. Too much time wasted to

Again, you're focusing on the wrong thing. Being honest (or "sharing my opinion") doesn't make me a bully. You titled your post "Death by regulation" and I think you're doing yourself a disservice by choosing to believe that regulation is

Great engineers? I have no idea. They make us look bad in the states though, so I say keep it up -- hopefully it'll motivate our guys to speed up my last mile.

I've seen this post, and your other posts on this subject. I'm sorry to say it, but it seems like regulation is not why you are shutting down, but inability to execute on your business is. WePay managed to not have this be an issue. No VC

Asia has the intercontinental infrastructure, but the costs to connect are too high. SingTel, etc. all run monopolies that keep foreign networks out. Peering is a joke.

That's not talking about transit -- that's talking about consumer Internet connections, which are surprisingly cheap despite the same monopoly infrastructure but largely due to government price controls. That monopoly infrastructure, howeve

by davidu 15y ago
Your question answers itself. I really don't know how much more to add, but I'll try. Transit (bandwidth) costs more there because: 1) Networks peer much less openly. 2) This is mostly due to the presence of state-run monopoly telcos.

He defined FMV as 409a valuation, which we all know is a number pulled out of thin air where value > last financing valuation < infinity.

Not reasonable for most companies on a great trajectory to repurchase at current fair market value. And consider that options for employees are substantially discounted, thus the delta there between what the employee paid and what the empl

This is actually just the tip of the iceberg for OS X vulnerabilities. On the enterprise side, it's much much worse. AFP is heinous. Their kerberos implementations are painful. They actually have checkboxes in OS X server config screens t

Or the FBI believed the host was aware of, sanctioning, in cahoots with, or participating in the alleged activity and thus could not tip their cards. This happens more often than you might think.

I'm saying stub's don't validate and resolvers can disregard queries before setting the DO bit and making a recursive query.

Your understanding of DNSSEC is incorrect.

This has nothing to do with Akamai being able to target users accurately. Google doesn't have this issue, so why does Akamai?

Chrome resolves its own DNS. Therefore it can support any DNS record type (even if it doesn't have hooks for one today). No other browser does. All other browsers rely on the system's stub resolver which means you can't even open a bug fo

SRV records could do this, but most browsers can't do DNS. Only Chrome can.
