It seems like the root problem here, as in lots of security problems, is an assumption made early on is no longer valid (e.g. "this application only runs on our LAN, so no need to protect against malicious actors"). In this case,

And while we're here, "cock sucker" is not an insult, and my fellow gay hackers and I would prefer if you didn't use it as one.

So you're saying the system was greedy and corrupt, that the laws prevented those features from getting out of control, and when we took the laws away they ran wild... therefore we should take the laws away?

There's definitely a chance of that, but I think the repeal of those laws then being immediately followed by a return to damaging volatility is indicative that it was more than just coincidence.

I think this take ignores the history. After the Great Depression, a number of laws were put in place, in particular the Glass-Steagall act ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass%E2%80%93Steagall_Legislat... ) that led t

Holy cow, that's amazing. Q: Does MongoDB support transactions? A: MongoDB does not provide ACID transactions. ( http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/faq/fundamentals/#does-mongod... ) It is crazy to be doin

I mean, MtGox stands for "Magic The Gathering Online Exchange". They were literally set up to sell trading cards. The whole "being the biggest bank in a new $6bn+ economy" is a pivot. The whole system is crazy. But even

Forget the difference in the exchange rates. Are you saying you have no system in place to monitor if transactions execute successfully ? I'm not trying to be hyperbolic but that's really shocking for a company that is trying to

I wondered about that as well. Last-minute inclusion seems most likely explanation, but very odd. If you have ever worked on something like this, you will know that merely getting these companies to agree to have their logos on the same pag

A minor correction -- dotCloud the PaaS does not actually use Docker in production, as the article claims. It uses something pretty similar, which was the inspiration for the creation of Docker, but not Docker itself. [Source: @solomonstre

My parents, who live in Trinidad, have this problem every time they visit me in America. After a couple of days of everyone fake-smiling at them the whole time they get pissed off. To them, everyone's smiles come off as insincere and e

Sure, but that kind of data can be misleading. If your app works like a dog's breakfast in IE9 already (and it does), then hardly anybody using IE9 will be using it. That doesn't mean there aren't companies stuck on IE8 who w

I think Marco is overly dismissive of shared hosting; the web should be inclusive and easy to use, and for lots of people with uncomplicated hosting needs shared hosting is a fine choice. See also: Heroku, AWS, any other level of abstractio
