Point taken. But the opposition (in any game) plays a critical role in disrupting safe methodology and keeping data/rules honest. Note IPCC reports have substantially lowered earlier predictions and findings have more weight. The science

I'd make that "godaddy secured" animation static. It completely distracted me from your how-it-works anim up top.

That's exactly the continuum I'm referring to.

Sort of. Given a continuum of reliability needs, options for variably controlling the window of data loss are welcome. The bottom line is solid-state components are very reliable. Across hundreds of systems, I see uptimes in years. If I

The article fails to mention the principle driver of this technology, David Chaum. The system is a descendant of Chaum's prior voting works with broader participation.

Yeah, this was most disappointing (I'm otherwise giddy). I hoped source tabs were dead and buried.

I meant to mention giving your services to schools free/cost of expenses. You cite a 10x price range, so I'm assuming schools are at the bottom, other venues middle/top. How much do you promote? Scott Berkun (and let's take another minor

How about setting a price floor, as oldgregg says, to stimulate demand/increase scarcity? Do you work with an agent?

I'll be the outlier and talk about the new _voice_ capabilities on the phone -- you know, the high utility part? Google Voice will supplant voice plans (data only please, Verizon) and Apple will launch their mumble mumble project to do the

Fantastic. Redis can go in both my ephemeral and critical systems. You're a whirlwind of activity.

Yeah, Matt lost me here (in his reply to Willy Tarreau's [HAProxy] comment.) Packet rewriting is nice and efficient, but it's dumb. Unless you measure a latency/cpu issue with proxies, in a system with lots of moving parts, having high-le

For such special-purpose threads, I think it's worth seeing those comments fall through upvotes (or flagging) rather than penalize straight opinions. A similar chilling effect to a downvoted opinion could be had by exposing the downvoters.

I'm impressed by the shifting voting trends when a new, dissenting (sub)opinion is attached to a comment. A string of upvotes now is halted/reversed. And the polarity change can happen several times. An articulated position unleashes the

Actually, during that period, I was often vexed that very few separated the good idea (bundling a web browser free) from the bad (anticompetitive OEM deals) -- at least in the national papers. It all got lumped into Microhate.

Twitter's fail whale is universally cute and disarming. If some portion of Wave's audience is skeeved out by the maintenance page with unpleasant feet, it needs fixing. (Especially for unplanned maintenance.) I've now asked four women. T

I wonder if they actually ran this by women. Images of feet are a little dicey for the fairer sex. My sample size of two brought back two creepy's.

A fun reminder that where most programmers (I suspect) are of the iterative sort -- especially where the language is concise and testable -- Knuth is an inveterate planner. If you've trained yourself to strategize mathematically and execut

Notable that in his year of public (blog) development, many of Sifter's visual techniques had widespread pickup in other SaaS tools. I hope he keeps innovating his design language.

A side note: two-factor authentication (smartcards, etc) -- which minimizes Evil Maid exposure -- is unsupported on the OSX version of PGP Whole Disk Encryption. Let's pester their support staff to add it.

The fork+exec is efficient. The blog post compares things without units. Forks (principally page table copies w/copy-on-write in effect) are measured in microseconds and the exec is your standard binary startup time. While you don't want
