All of our EC2 hosts appear to be functioning fine, but they can't connect to their RDS instance which renders our app useless. If you scroll down the page you'll also see that RDS instances are having connectivity issues. Not sure if it's

I'm a big believer in the fallacy of Chesterton's fence, so I actually agree with what you're saying. My point is that disruptive businesses serve as the 'reset' button for these industries. The problems get ignored at first, then rediscove

Isn't that what a disruptive business is all about? You can't replace an old business model with entrenched interests by asking "please" as far as I know...

I think C and low level networking are great things for beginners to learn. I started learning C at age 9 and networking around age 12. C is great because it teaches a ton about how computers actually work, and practically forces you to lea

I'm definitely looking forward to this debate when/if we ever have a permanent mars colony. Will they still use earth/solar time? Use mars/solar time? Some compromise between the two? I imagine someone living on mars could give two shits if

I have to ask, because it's really been getting at me for a while honestly. How do your developers react to that? I mean, you guys are known for going after the best and the brightest. People who have worked hard to perfect their craft. The

I'm in the enterprise software business and there are already a lot of available options for enterprise resellers. The typical reason they fail is essentially dilution (lack of product knowledge or lack of incentive to sell your product vs

I see a lot of comparison on CPU speed and RAM, which is fine, but it seems to me that EC2's biggest weakness is the miserable IO performance of EBS. If Google has solved the EBS problem, then this could be amazing.

Well, there now seems to be case law on the topic: http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2012-06/20/tetris-clone-... This could be interesting given the sheer number of clones on the app store. I wonder how many game developers actually hav

Yep. They open sourced the equivalent of their marketing site, not an actual data platform. Very disappointing. As another poster mentioned, CKAN is open source, and does include the data hosting platform (based on elasticsearch). Max Ogden

I mark them as spam whenever I see their stuff posted on facebook. They might not consider it spam, but it pretty clearly meets the definition in my mind. It's unsolicited, and masquerading as an action taken by one of my friends. Total bs.

Got it that makes sense. It seems like a link would be a real problem to solve and keep the web usable. The form approach seems easy enough to solve with a dialog. The others that can be solved via tighter cookie restrictions probably shoul

Can you explain? My understanding was that cookies will not be sent in these attacks (I validated this only testing some approaches, namely doubleclick and other ad embeds). Without cookies, how would the CSRF attack access my account? Or h

Isn't this problem also solved by disabling 3rd party cookies? This is a feature already in the browser. I've used it for months and the only thing that I've noticed not working (i.e. the only impact on me as a user) is that integrated disq

Are you sure your lawyer is even using Word? Many still use word perfect. I was just at the office of a state legislature yesterday and they are 100% a word perfect shop.

Regardless of how this turns out, doesn't the fact that the DoJ already has the tools to take out sites like megaupload mean that we don't need things like SOPA/PIPA?

The bankers work for Zynga in this case, and it seems like they did a good job for their client by selling a large # of shares at above market. The fund managers, on the other hand, did a horrible job for their clients here.

So basically send someone a zip file with a DLL + readme.txt. Most people would avoid the DLL but not think twice about opening the readme. Sounds nasty.

It sounds like what he is doing with his wife/girlfriend is probably tax evasion. If you don't care about never seeing the money again then I'd just hand it over to the IRS and explain the whole scam he has going. Unlike the DA, the IRS wil
