One as-yet-unmentioned technique is to adjust a bot score by taking an OS fingerprint, and comparing that to the listed user agent. It's not perfect for a variety of reasons, but I found it to be a useful input for a similar bot detection p

For around $1000/server (including switch port costs), a cloud provider could install 2 10Gb ethernet cards into each machine, and run them in an LACP trunk to create an effective 20Gb link. I keep hoping that somebody will do that, hook th

This is exactly what interests me. I keep 20 servers in colocation facility because I have I/O requirements that can't be reliably met with EBS. Solve that problem and I'll move as soon as my colo contract term expires.

I view the former as helpful, not annoying. Featuring semi-personalized offers saves me time and energy. With e-commerce it only makes sense to put the best-fit offers in the front of the store, for everyone involved.

When I was in this situation I used noise canceling headphones playing lyric-free music, and a pair of sunglasses on my desk so I could notice movement directly behind me.

It's somewhat heartening to see that this report doesn't talk about the control rods for their dyno manifolds creating unintended flux in the tachyon emitter. It's not great, but at least it's easy to understand what went wrong without find

We helped a client of ours setup something akin to this, to work around their (essentially unfixable) Internet situation. We rolled our solution using OpenBSD/pf/carp/pfsync due to client expertise and comfort with BSD. It works well enoug

I could understand a lawyer writing a letter they later regret on behalf of a client, but he followed that up by trying to get IndieGoGo to take down a charitable fundraiser. TheOatmeal didn't direct a mob to attack FunnyJunk or their lawye

I'd note that I find Hipmunk weird and non-intuitive. Here's an example: http://cl.ly/3o2Y0z0w0a1l3c3d1X3G There's a few things in that shot that confuse me, but the top timeline bar is not something I glance at and understand.

I don't have any special knowledge about Sortfolio or 37Signals, but it seems like Sortfolio is really inconvenient to divest. It's big enough that shooting it in the head seems wasteful (and potentially disappointing to existing customers)

I agree. This sounds like bad/lazy management, and a broken on-boarding process. As a consultant, I've grown used to working around bad on-boarding processes but most FTEs aren't used to jumping into existing teams without being given a lo

As I see it, the government's real pay-off isn't Tesla paying back it's loans, but rather is the increase in energy policy flexibility that is gained if EVs become popular. If it's easier to provide energy security, that reduces military b

Switch is a very reasonable book about affecting organizational change, but I wouldn't include it in a list of must-reads for entrepreneurs. Oddly, I might well advocate the Heath brothers other book, Made to Stick, as it gives a framework

I absolutely agree about The Innovator's Dilemma. It's a great roundup of decisions that have long-term effects on a startup (equity decisions, team composition, wealth v. control, etc.). This list looks like it was written by somebody who

Sorry, I didn't think to post it because it's not a generally useful patch. It eliminates rather than fixes the functionality. Here's to hoping Woothemes gets this sorted out. As it stands, automatic updating to 5.3.11 is still broken, and

I just patched my wootheme'd wordpress sites to address the issue until an official fix is out, so at least one person got positive value from this post. That said, I really wish the original public report had been a private report.

The cost is quite hard to measure. An asset that can decline 10% in 5 minutes without any changes in it's fundamentals is likely to trade lower than one that can't, and that volatility (or perception of volatility) has a cost. The most sub
