I don't really consider continuously pushing to staging or QA true continuous deployment. This still leaves you with the big push when you deploy features. At Wealthfront, we prefer to push out everything and releasing features amounts

I use checking and savings in this way. I think it's pretty common to do so that checking is a revolving fund and doesn't hold any significant money, but it's also common to just have all your money in the one account. Anyway

That's not true. The financial system does not primarily rest on technical safeguards. It rests on legal safeguards and risk management (i.e. it puts the onus to strike the balance between security and convenience on the company in the

Is everything a political litmus test? This is a great article making a logical rational argument for why, even if we were to grant that a court order is legitimate, we should still build systems that make them hard to support. This is an a

Apparently TrueCrypt still has the crazy license which no one can quite figure out if it's an amateur attempt to write an open source license, or an extremely subtle trap to lure people into thinking it's an open source license so

MJ is serious original reporting and opinion from a committed liberal point of view. They are equivalent in bias, if not in quality.

You're right, or at least close enough to make my comment based on faulty assumptions. It looks like they hired him without the "senior" title last year. I was basing my assumption on the article's statement that he made

This is misleading. His compensation may have been effectively $10M last year, but it's almost certainly based on a stock grant several years in the past. Twitter did not offer him $10M/year, they offered him some probability of $

And the inquisitors may have already proven that you are a witch, so what's a little harm in torturing you to confess. They may have evidence that this is your wallet, but by supplying them with the password, you are testifying that it

Revenue per user might be high, but it's targeting a smaller market. Bloomberg is useful to anyone who buys or sells stocks in any way. Quantopian seems to be about people who want to find a technical system to beat the market. This is

Anything for a story. Down 6% isn't a big deal for a volatile tech company like Tesla. They've plummeted to the same price they were trading at two weeks ago.

We used to. We stopped when transportation costs came down far enough. We do not ship raw materials to the space station, because transportation costs are high.

This is probably about pricing in different markets. They can't sell cheaply in China if those devices end up on ebay being shipped to the US.

Touch ID is competing against pins chosen from a universe of 10,000. This isn't great security, but it's appropriate security for unlocking a device you already must have physical access to.

And this illustrates my problem with Franken and all the far left -- government agencies are trampling over Americans' privacy, and his issue is whether a private company is taking sufficient safeguards to avoid making it easier for th

Only historians care which family controlled some town in any given year. The rest of us can't even recall who won the hundred years' war, which certainly sounds like it would have been a big deal at the time.

What we need is efficiency in the second-hand goods marketplace. One partial enabling change would be to eliminate sales tax on second hand goods (or only charge it on the markup). I don't want to worry about how long I need to possess

This is naive. There's no natural process that ensures the network stays well distributed. If Bitcoin takes off, then why would the next hardware miner maker sell the product? Maybe they find it better to just run a significant portion

Modern computer use never integrated multiple accounts well. For example, you can't share an itunes library between multiple users. I don't know of any modern OS that even has a standard "public shared folder for all users&qu

There may be some valid points in there, but I don't consider it very productive to get this kind of info from this source. I'm not sure what their agenda is, but it clearly doesn't have anything to do with economics or trans
