Another oddity in using adaptive cruise control that happened with me and scared me a bit: imagine you are in a congestionated area and eventually enter a lower speed uncongestionated area, the car is going to speed up. If you don't no

You are probably familiar with... but for those who aren't... Here is something cool to read by Frédéric Bastiat, a French philosopher during the 19 century: http://bastiat.org/en/petition.html

The playground is all about running critical systems with databases that are ACID compliance for the past two months, instead of 23 years. After all, obviously you need webscale, and something that is working successfully in the industry fo

Hi herf, your software is really nice but one thing that kept me from using it (and adopted since Apple's 'night shift', though I don't use all days) is that I enjoy photography. Probably you heard this a few times, but

How about if I'd rather drink acid drinks like Coke (when I do) without damaging my teeth? What about my freedom of choosing whether I'd use straws or not?

Austrian economists don't see this leadership as monopolistic. Instead, they rather call monopoly when there are state apparatus being used to restrict competition. Basically, there is no evil doing in being a leader. This is clearly n

Thanks to the government intervention with what is sold as 'free education/free money', but it is actually making education more expensive. If you want poor people to get education, empower them. You can start doing so by NOT

Let people protect their finance in peace. If I earn money by creating a good product that consumers love I have the right to do whatever I wish with this money. Socialism is evil. Let people be free to use their wealth for the benefit of s

Another thing you can do to minimize the risk is limiting what your database user can do. For instance, if you usually just need to view content. Don't let him truncate / delete / do other destructive operations.

You are short-sighted. Would you say the same about the telecommunication industry? Would you say the same about computers (machine), because computers (people) lost their jobs? I recommend you to read Bastiat's famous Candlestick make

I love this patent grant Facebook uses! If you are a criminal and want to use software patents to attack innocents, I couldn't care less if Facebook throws some lawyers to hunt you.

So the solution for you seems to be allowing bad guys DoS your system because bad guys can do bad things, is it?

Except this is a rate limiting on the account globally, and here lies the DoS problem. So if you follow it you can theoretically have your account locked down by an idiot on the other side of the world. You can minimize this by making it pe

You are not forced to use 8 only on most places. And most of the time 8 is good enough. And by forcing more characters you may end up messing things up because people can start using patterns that defies the very core idea why there should

Blame the taxes for that. They should keep helping people avoid taxes as this is the right thing to do. Tax is unethical by its very nature (it is theft, regardless of justifications). That said, they could very well facilitate a tax-free a
