1.) Product Managers don't own the release schedule. 2.) Ah, organized crime, but none of it is ever reported. Lack data much? For an "industry" that supposedly values transparency, the total absence of data seems odd. 3.) Why are you telli

It seems weird that you use my first name in your comments. My name is not a secret, but I barely know who you are. You're still using the passive voice. It's not as if "product managers" are some well-defined group of people. For that matt

That reply contains a rather petty ad hominem attack about the relevance of someone's security industry reputation. But I am interested in the argument about "responsible disclosure" damaging "the industry" is one I would like to hear. Sinc

you can use a file synchronization algorithm. here's one I did for JSON: http://blog.mozilla.com/rob-sayre/2008/02/15/restful-partial... It works well except when array elements move around (that works, it's just unintuitive)

This sure did tick people off for some reason. Sorry. It's just a dinky little two paragraph post I tossed out there while I was drinking coffee.

(I wrote the linked post) This comment indicates you didn't RTFA. The entire point of it was to suggest that high traffic content sites would benefit from a way to move their own ads, but stay "above the line" and be accountable for results

Mike Shroepfer, VP of Engineering at Facebook, hired me at Mozilla. I'm quite happy where I am, but let me tell you, that is someone you want to work for. * http://www.crunchbase.com/person/mike-shroepfer

People probably won't pay for access to wire reports, but they might pay for longer form texts. Shanda, the company that just acquired MochiMedia, runs a paywall business called Shanda Literature in China. That's more like novels and comics

I still can't believe he manages to cut the deals that he does. I was really shocked when it showed up on Boost Mobile. Is Loopt really that great? Does he prove that it makes money for the phone company? I guess that must be the pitch, sin

I travel quite a lot. I don't think flightcaster would be much help for domestic itineraries, from JFK to SFO, for example. It doesn't deliver much value for the work week frequent flyer (those who travel for 5 work days). Critical stuff ha
