This is similar to the musician's plight of rarely being able to guarantee a 'flat rate' for their performance services - both originals, covers, or a mix of the two.
Alright, I'll bite: I run a small personal network from soup to nuts - I host the DNS, the web server(s), the mail server(s), you name it. Why should I not set up DNSSEC - what's the downside for me?
Self defense/personal fitness is a great start. May I add 'delete Facebook' and 'learn Game' to the list. The latter can be incendiary in certain circles (this one, for instance), but with my sample size of '1' I can attest that it really, truly works.
Ever since the Phoenicians invented money, there has only ever been one solution to this problem. I personally could be convinced to work for a lot less than $1M/yr for a fully-remote job, hint-hint thirsty recruiters and tech execs ;-)
What this says to me is that the current iPhone encryption is able to be broken by Apple. Note: "[the FBI is asking us to] make a new version of the iPhone operating system, circumventing several important security features, and install it on an iPhone recovered during the investigation." I interpret that as there is already a backdoor, but one that is controlled by Apple. If that is the case, the gov't is asking for dual control of that pre-existing backdoor in addition to Apple. If I encrypt a message with a public key, and Phil Zimmerman can decrypt it (in addition to the holder of the private half of that public key), then there's a backdoor in PGP, regardless of who owns/knows about it. The only secure system is one where the data is well and truly unrecoverable if the private key is gone, missing, or unavailable/unwilling to be applied by the owner.
2 things: you have to manually install a Web browser. Under Debian, it is equally as easy to install Firefox as it is to install chromium and other competing browsers (no lock-in), and the big one: you are not compelled to pay for Debian like you are for Windows.
I would love to see git-diff type notation on the text of various laws - 'senator so-and-so added this', 'paralegal Y removed this clause' - with commit-messages for each.
Well shucks, this is why I try not to HN at 3am on the regular... Yes, terabyte, not petabyte. And I'm well past the edit interval at this point; how embarrassing, mea culpa :-)
Could not agree more. Production data needs to be bigger than a petabyte or three before my default response is anything other than 'let's load it into RAM.' :-)
Couldn't happen to a nicer sleazeball. I have nothing but disdain for Paypal (and Square, at this point), their customer service is terrible, their limits (even for businesses) are laughably low, and their processes for increasing the limits are slow, opaque, and unable to be appealed. Nothing but the back of my hand for these chuckleheads, I hope they trip and fall on their megayachts.
Speaking from direct experience, both Square and PayPal are terrible for accepting cards. I have a consulting client who wants to pay me with the company AmEx, I have yet to do a transaction that doesn't get flagged or held or otherwise interfered with. Horrible companies, with slow, uncaring, unresponsive customer service.
