Well... Is curl|bash insecure? YES Is curl|bash more insecure than most of the ways people install software they just download from the Internet? NO So it's not ideal, but most people don't do anything else that's much better

Your sarcasm isn't appreciated. I want to know why the founders left their company, and are creating a new company that is in a related space. Why didn't they just do it as a part of SocialText? And what should the current Social

And what's the disposition of SocialText? A key detail the author of this story would be wise to include.

It gets used in large high-throughput systems. Just not a lot of need elsewhere, and most of those networks are running proprietary code, so you don't see much about it.

This is really about inference, and less about "decision-making." First, the bar is has a action-response rule-based mechanism based on the input of winning or losing combined with which direction it came from right or left. That

Actually, an exception often exists for owed or unpaid employee wages -- then directors can be held responsible for those. But I don't think that's the case here.

I know this is just my $0.02, which I generally avoid... but: I would be very skeptical of this entire article, having worked with researchers from Kaspersky for many years. They are terrific partners and care deeply about infosec. Also, Ka

As blunt as this is, it's right. C&S Grocer does $22 Billion per year in revenue, and is profitable, doing just food distribution. http://www.cswg.com/ and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%26S_

This is worse than a legal term sheet in my opinion. The language is new, and using plain english instead of "Legal" english creates grey areas. Is this pre- or post-money? The language around the board seat, which is a critical a

I think her points are all generally true, but be aware... Some of the companies on that list are not actually unicorns. Meaning: they have not consummated a financing with a post-money valuation that exceeds $1,000,000,000. Just saying th

Medallion prices are a function of demand. As prices soared, the taxi commission should have been releasing more medallions as it meant that demand for taxi's had soared. Instead, the actual mafia-like taxi oligarchs pushed to limit

It requires a special kind of engineer and PM to dedicate the time and skill required to make things like this work when most of the rest of the company is working to take advantage of the bleeding edge of technology. Hats off to that perso

Who is talking about Europe? This is about reaching Kenya. It should actually be ~60-70ms.

We have contemplated a POP in Kenya. We will get there. Johannesburg should be less than 200ms, so let me see if I can improve that... I would expect about 100ms.

Would be great to also add a column for "date of death" as timing is often a major component related to failure. While on the subject of timing, I'd add a column for years in business, but that might be getting too cluttered.

Strong agree, network based firewalls don't make sense based on performance needs and placement at the edge of an increasingly ephemeral network perimeter. Host and edge / stub firewalls with strong orchestration will be far more

Since nobody else is saying it: Congratulations. Re/Code was a startup. They built it into a thing someone else wanted, and they sold it. That's hard work. Congratulations and best of luck carrying the torch at Vox.

That's not true. Link to the draft section? This is also helpful, and is non-partisan congressional research: https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/RL33743.pdf What people don't get is that we've had TP

It's because if you look below the talking points, nothing about TPA or TPP is new, nothing about it is "fast-track" and nothing about it is secret.

TPA has been around for 30 years. It's always worked well. The idea is that congress sets a standard and set of parameters for negotiation that the US Trade Authority then goes out to negotiate and structure trade deals. They must s
