I didn't mean tumblr is complicated, I meant explaining what tumblr means for people is complicated. It's the ultimate long tail site which means it serves very different purposes for different groups of people.

This was a surprisingly good overview of the very complicated and nuanced site that is tumblr.

This is the wrong takeaway. The regulatory pushback that Uber and AirBnB have demonstrated has been in the public face. The fraud that Zenefits is being accused of was not expected by the consumer. They offered themselves as an insurance b

I believe (after the investigations are concluded) that a word used to describe the operations for Zenefits will be 'fraudulent.' For the rest, as you state, they have been largely clear about their opposition to perceived out-of-

Just as a counter datapoint, my experience in Ethiopia was very different. I was sometimes three hours from the nearest paved road and yet I would have full cellular signal, and often even 2G or 3G connectivity. I had no issues browsing th

This isn't the most pleasurable experience to cancel, but frankly, some of the offers to stay might have been compelling. This is a far cry from strong-arming.

Definitely. It just doesn't need to be me.

We say no to these deals because the cost of doing them is too great. Not only have we said no to these opportunities in the past, but we probably said no to this specific one. Here is our documented anti-censorship policy: https:/

It's gaining more and more traction, and is a far stronger protection mechanism from actual threats than DNSSEC. </biased as the guy who sponsored DNSCrypt creation>

I emailed a friend at Network Solutions to look into this... we'll see.

Is it really that hard for someone at X.org to figure out how to escalate to an exec at NetSol to get a domain renewed?

This isn't the case. (speaking from knowledge)

The most appropriate solution for SF is to build a vehicle and rail tunnel just under the bottom of the bay that goes from Candlestick to the on-ramp of the GGB. It sounds crazy, but much easier than digging through the city (and going abov

Only those who early exercise, or exercise their stock as it vests. They did this to try and optimize for long-term capital gains. For most employees who leave their option grants as options, there is nothing to worry about. When you are g

That's a super interesting way of framing the conversation.

This would be smart. It doesn't need to be ominous, just informative.

Part of me hopes you are right, because I don't like seeing Chrome/Google throw it's muscle around. Part of me hopes you are wrong, because I think encryption and security don't need to be opposing forces and MITM isn&#x

As an aside, this is one of the reasons why I believe locally installed certificates overriding pinning has a quickly eroding shelf life... At some point, something bad will happen like this (or malware-based) and Chrome will raise their ha

The government preference isn't important, citizen preference is. As to what they can do... it's a range from info to painful, but they can choose a range of options from serving up interstitials in a localized language that expla

Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Microsoft, Salesforce, Box, Dropbox, Twitter, etc. could have a very strong influence on changing this if they banded together to respond to this in some way. The government might be doing what they think is right,

Having done TCP Anycast for more than 8 years in production now, with extensive testing, and third-party monitoring, there has never been an issue with it. When a route flap happens that causes an AS path selection change, the user almost u

That's interesting, and a really good answer. Thanks.

A resource like this is terrific. Would be great to see it in github so you can solicit the occasional outside contribution. I've always found that even the best teams still need to constantly explore and add new tools in the toolbox

If the banks cared they would provide either token-based API like oAuth or at the very least, a read-only password for users to give these sites that aren't fully credentialed. Customers will always want to extract their data.

The use-case for DNSSEC is still far from clear to me. DANE is the closest thing to a valid use case and it looks like Chrome and others are exploring better solutions than DANE. Moreover -- The lack of encryption is still a major issue IMH
