They don't need one all users trust as a lot of Chinese users will use Chinese browsers and those are already compromised. https://en.greatfire.org/blog/2014/oct/china-collecting-appl...

Except China has their own browser made by a state controlled company that a lot of people use. This browser is already demonstrated to accept the government CA and ordinary people in China don't care.

That's kind of funny. French people is the single biggest source of expats (if we ignore domestic helpers) in Hong Kong. Seems to be very common for French people to emigrate.

My gut feeling says it depends on the trading strategy of the firm they used for the testing. Traders don't need a bull market to make money, they just need market volatility. If the market is going up they can bet on the value of stoc

With the specific sentence mentioned Troy is not referring to the Udemy content but rather a more general piracy case. So while Udemy is clearly about money the general piracy case referred to probably isn't.

I once found a security problem in a site that exposed bid data for on-going auctions. I very much verified they were completely fraudulent and would magically bid to win in the last couple of seconds. It's pervasive in this type of si

I'm with Sparkpost for my personal stuff, at work we use Mailgun.

Yes. I do this. It gets rid of the spam folder problem while allowing you to host the incoming email yourself.

Have you guys ever written anything on how you configure nginx and FreeBSD in general? Would love to read more about this.

nVidia are using their own hardware so therefore they write their own drivers. Most OEMs outsource to Qualcomm or MediaTek.

Cannot give a completely satisfying answer because I don't know. But running basically stock android and being Google helps a lot. One thing I forgot to mention but which usually adds a couple of weeks extra is the certification proces

So I was a founding employee at OnePlus, I've since left but I've seen both how Cyanogen worked and the efforts that went into building the Android team at OnePlus after the relationship with Cyanogen soured. And really, it seems

As it is right now, yes. But imagine a scenario where Facebook might implement a child account where a parent has access to monitor the usage. Now there are two people with authorisation to access this Facebook account so the process no lon

One of the things that really annoy me yes. :) Pretty much every nginx release is run-time stable, really the only difference is that the mainline branch is not API stable. Good luck convincing package managers of that, though. So usually y

by mfjordvald 11y ago
Most likely yes. Even numbering is the stable branch while odd numbering is the development branch. Since this is a breaking change and not a bug or security fix it's unlikely to go into the stable branch.

The logic is that if you outsource your ops team to AWS you have less people but your revenue is still the same, you're just paying AWS instead of salaries. So if we take the revenue per person number as anything significant then netfl

I argued this just the other day but couldn't find the source where I had read it. Do you happen to have a link for this research?

He would have been if it hadn't replaced the Varnish functionality with nginx. He's basically just moving functionality from Varnish to nginx and thus simplifying his stack a bit.

Why anything to do with Qihoo is worrying: https://en.greatfire.org/blog/2014/oct/china-collecting-appl... It's proven in the past that they're not a security company for anything that deals with pr

They basically already have this. Qihoo 360 web browser and anti virus will open you up wide to spying by the Chinese government and a lot of Chinese people prefer using these because they're better tailored for Chinese culture. If HTT

It's most definitely about attracting users. When we started OnePlus we specifically set out to ignore stores and carriers and instead focus on making a product that people would love and put it in a price range that made it accessible

APCu would not be enough at this level. Simply invoking PHP itself is enough to kill servers here. But yes, using nginx or vanish would have probably been easier and there's plenty of resources on it. In a case at my last job a single

Does flexbox affect rendering speed of browsers as well or is it mostly about removing the limitations of css grid systems?

What I find most interesting is how this thread is in position 89 with 38 points after only 2 hours. There's some super heavy flagging going on to censor this whole thing.

In my experience they probably handle it based on the spam reports they get. They get feedback from all the major providers so if someone clicks the spam button they know. If you import a huge list for spamming they will find out the first

I always saw the point of micro services as not having to figure out the scaling part yet. If you focus on grouping by purpose rather than what resource they might use then you can keep them on small instances until you better understand w

I don't think even MailChimp claims to be for transactional emails as they specifically have a separate product for that called Mandrill. MailChimp is 100% intended for marketing emails. Though I'm sure they at least try to have t

This is entirely possible yes. I have also worked with people for whom that was just the public reason and the less nice uses were very much on their mind privately. Comes down to whether you trust corporations or not.

OxygenOS is being made by the Paranoid Android team. These guys definitely know what they're doing. Expect a more minimal experience with UX optimizations aimed at features users use daily.

It is. The browser also doesn't complain about the Chinese government SSL certificates used in SSL stripping. As someone who has lived in China for a while now I'm always wary about using any Chinese software.
