You can't possibly be serious. I've had one CEO like that over 20 years. Most CEOs are somewhat less than that and they do at least ok if not great.

I'm not sure why a normal user would ever need to add CAs to their root store. Can you clarify?

That is exactly what happens.

Prompts to enter your password to install something perhaps? Windows pop up out of the blue a fair amount. You only have to make a mistake once.

Agree with you here. Currently companies are selling technology with massive power for oppression to whoever has the cash. Creating a framework to hold them accountable is a win for freedom.

The thing is malware can throw up those same windows that are in fact indistinguishable. There's no immune response that can pick it up.

Self submission / promotion is not an issue here if it's not illegitimated seeded with votes.

Well, there are 4 billion addresses but the definition of internet addressable is a bit odd with attack vectors through email and web outbound access.

"anyone operating an Internet-addressable computer who is not familiar with any of them is incompetent" Sorry but I just can't take such a statement seriously. There are millions of people who are in this situation. Calling t

PR is absolutely essential for a major vulnerability. They are events that affect real people's lives.

That was when distribution was via physical media. People don't value bits on the wire the same way nor view "distribution" as a valuable function.

The intended point was probably that they enabled the complexity in the interface pre-GUI.

That is pretty surprisingly similar.

I found their Superbowl ad particularly offensive. Basically it asserted you don't need representation in taxation as long as it was "free to file". Totally absurd.

Looking at that link, you're talking, in the Bay Area, about 185k + 2% with less than that meaning (significantly) more equity.

Getting it fleshed out isn't actually happening unless they're building a real product in that time. Talking to people is not "getting it fleshed out". Assuming 4 year vesting then you're talking about giving up a f

Unfortunately that proof is made systematically unavailable, hence the injustice.

Some people who do computer programming might not need CS was the point I believe.

If you're building the bones of the company and you're not getting double digits of equity you're getting a raw deal. That percentage will get diluted with every round too so it's not like 10% of 100M or something.

Compared to provisioned IOPS SSD, it's about the same. Compared to regular "burstable" SSD it's much much better. The gp2 EBS SSD is not actually meant to be used for data storage, something which AWS hasn't done a

The number on the back is generated by an algorithm with secrets that are not very secret (though apparently "secret enough").

Getting the business level support is absolutely necessary if you don't have someone with AWS experience and are doing anything substantially complicated. The free-ish support is, on the whole, pretty abysmal. The availability of solut

You can run a database just fine using provisioned IOPS EBS especially in a RAID 10 configuration. I'd like to see some data to the contrary as I've actually done it.

Any citations? There are lots of people using EC2 at appropriate instances sizes to do compute intensive loads. Provisioned IOPS and, again, appropriate instance types are necessary to get high performance disk I/O.

I don't think doing it the AWS way is always necessary from the start. You can do a lot of simpler stuff with ElasticBeanstalk or OpsWorks and you'll still be in a better position to scale than working straight on a VPS.

If you don't want to bankrupt yourself then check your usage every day or hour. It's still your responsibility not your vendor's.

That's what the flag link is for.

Absolutely agree with you. The point is to let stuff going, to be in the present.

Thanks, that very much is not clear. I'd expect a very high number of end to end speeding violations.
