As I've gotten older (ironically) I've felt this should be the case; key decisions have such an impact on the success or failure of a startup, it's much more likely you make the right key decisions the more experience and wis

Oddly, I also got the best performance from Norton. An MTR shows Norton at 5 hops, Google at 8 hops and Cloudflare at 7. I might even accept slower speeds for added privacy, luckily I don't have to. test1 test2 tes

I think the part that gets lost in all of this is that Sun offered to license Java to Google previously for $100M. [1] Google turned that down and bypassed Sun because they didn't want to pay (or license). At the time, Sun was happy t

Love Kim Dotcom or hate him, you have to applaud his tenacity in defending himself. When he was arrested in 2012, I don't think anyone remotely imagined he would still be battling, and, in many regards, winning against the US Governmen

That's an interesting read. To be clear, the tariff rate on durable goods was increased from 40% to 59% in 1932. [1] That seems like a far cry from what we're talking about here. It's my understanding these tariffs are levie

Companies have been scrapping information off Facebook since they opened up the platform. We had to abandon some plans to use Facebook as a social mechanism for photo sharing because of new restrictions Facebook added in 2016. My point is,

The reports have been so vague as to what Cambridge Analytica did its hard to know what they have or how they used it. I feel like the political climate is so energized right now that everyone is freaking out instead of waiting for details

It's terrible when anyone is killed in an automobile accident. The irony is in the promise of autonomous vehicles to prevent this very thing. I've heard the general report, and I find it interesting that a supervisor was at the wh

I love G-Suite, and I use it daily for documents, sheets, and mail. I can do most things I need to do in sheets. That said, Sheets is no replacement for Excel nor is the performance on par for complex and dynamic sheets. I suspect this is

"What do you mean by round?" Because Hashgraph is BFT, a round is a round of voting for confirmation. Its done virtually but you have to have 2/3rds of nodes agree on the state to close a round and have a confirmed state. To

Keep in mind Hashgraph and Blockchain are very different, in that Hadera is a permissioned network with public access (each round has a known number of nodes that must participate to exit the round).

The older I get, the more I find that making the right decisions, even in day-to-day programming, makes your far more efficient and effective than throwing time at a problem.

It seems to me that it's irrelevant if you agree with Google's Ad Strategy or not. The problem is that Google gets to make the choices, they are now in a position to decide, via the proxy of Better Ads, whats allowed on the "

by redm 9y ago
My problem is that Google was a founder of Better Ads and its designed to 1) protect their ad business, 2) stop people from wanting ad blockers, and 3) make the web nicer. Huge emphasis on #1. Whenever you have the browser maker, and puniti

I'm not so sure this was intentional, as some people have speculated, nor do I see any evidence that a check was not previously in place. Remember when Dropbox allowed anyone to login to an account without a password? [0] That doesn&#x

I think this is one of the biggest problems of "remote" work teams vs. in office teams. I know it's not exactly what you asked, but it really gets at the same problem -> being connected to people (IRL) you can talk to abou

It seems like a cool idea, but I'm worried about the practical implementation, and that it is just another service to monitor (like Safe Browsing) where you could get blocked incorrectly.

I had similar thoughts. Has Amazon posted any statistics on package theft when packages are left at the front door? I'm wondering if Amazon is acting of perceived fears to strengthen it's foothold in the home or trying to reduce

This is very similar to the .com bubble in the late 90's. Everyone wanted to get in, there was massive FOMO, and there were legit businesses along with scams, and terrible ideas. There will be a reckoning at some point, but the tech is

The question that popped to my head was why FreeBSD? I stopped using it for anything back in 2006. Since much of this tuning/debugging/analysis relates to the OS/kernel shouldnt the article start there?
