Seriously, that guy moved a billion dollars worth of drugs. And was criminally stupid, might I add. If we don't do it, there are a thousand other countries who will. Putting up a hidden tor website isn't exactly putting a man o

I agree to a large degree. I just think that the thrill of strangers' adulation is going to wear off after a while, what was new and novel becomes a grind, and people start to ask why, if you're so smart, you're not rich? A

I would presume that, given that it's a persistent service, it'd be relatively straightforward to do a timing analysis, given that an FBI computer could ping the server at will, and then the server would reply from outside the net

Not an expert, but I've heard a lot of people discussing how Tor can be compromised via timing analysis and owning enough exit nodes. Which is well within the capabilities of large nation-states' intelligence agencies. It is a wi

I think you underestimate the level of effort required to develop and maintain a quality app. Every year around this time my life gets real hectic. I would not do it for no money. I think the app store gold rush days are just about over.

Android has that fifteen minute return policy, where you can test out literally anything, and their dollars per user is about half iOS. I've also personally received more reviews than I can count where people talk about how much they l

Run your own shop then. I mean, if you don't like how the pie gets split up, bake your own. There has never been a better time in the history of mankind than our industry, right now, to put your money where your mouth is. You don&#x27

What's the saying? There are old thieves, and bold thieves, but no old, bold, thieves. I don't know how the Silk Road is still up, honestly. Keep on fighting the good fights, I guess.

The pivotal moment of my entire day is the first half hour when I sit down at my desk. I have a rule that I won't touch anything less than my first priority for a half hour once I've begun the day. Absolutely nothing. Like most

I bet this comment read differently in your head.

That those guys should have kept their heads down on that one? Much like a recent founder accent controversy? Although in the penny arcade case, any press may be good press. It was a mildly amusing comic that caused a lot of buzz.

Well, it's too bad you got banned. Blame microsofts rather aggressive astroturfing for the knee jerk response, I'd say.

Not an anthropologist, so take my casual observations with a grain of salt, but I can think of quite a few examples of latter day stone-age societies that are notably bloodthirsty. The few remaining indigenous tribes in the amazon, for one

The thing about development, and it certainly may slow down eventually, especially as Moore's law staggers to a halt and broadband peaks, is that no matter what I build, everybody always, always, always wants more. Every framework I e

Don't discount the state of constant warfare most aboriginal societies live in. If you have a neighbor, he wants your mongongo nuts.

No, dumbass. Most women are exactly as slutty as most heterosexual men. Source: basic mathematics.

Nobody works more than fifty hours in software. Tops. Few can work for fifty hours a week, really. You'll start lagging, or doing what a charitably call 'fake work', where you are around the office but not really being produc

It's a large reason why I won't touch any of Apple's media offerings. If they're not running the Netflix/Amazon model, where they've committed to making it available on all the major platforms, it's a non

I've found that articles with a bunch of comments have inevitably devolved into trolls shrieking at each other. But historically I've gotten as much or more out of the comments as the articles.

Well, the App Store is how I make my living, so their developer portal's uptime directly affects me. Especially if it was a security breach. And the argument that it won't matter as long as it gets up and stays up has already bee

Something real, real bad happened down Apple way. The only explanation that passes the sniff test for me is a security breach. A big one. Playstation store big. I mean, it's a huge outage in the middle of the week. Nobody does tha

The takeaway here, for me at least, is that Zynga got a lot of early success via a couple smart exploits-- early social network virality (since shut down by Facebook et al. because spammy Farmville requests hurt user experience) and freemiu
