I understand, thanks for the clarification! Certainly something to consider...
There were FPSes on PS1 and PS2 but they were not good and didn't use modern control schemes (though maybe Red Faction used it?).

I would credit Halo more than XBox for inventing/popularizing the good controller scheme for FPS games.
With the disclaimer that this is gender stereotyping (and my doubts have been increasing as to the utility of this way of thinking about people), this does seem like an insightful observation
People do make that symmetric argument, actually :). A lot of people in the ecosystem, both founders and VCs, will say things like "investors shouldn't be price sensitive, because if you've found the next Uber, it doesn't matter if you get in at a $10m cap or a $15m cap."
> at one point the Wikimedia Foundation was seriously concerned about potential Wikipedia forks, such as by Facebook

Being concerned about a theoretical possibility of something happening is not the same as it actually happening and being a viable competitor.

> A competitor with a different culture could be a good thing.

Maybe. But I don't see any right now with even tiny amount of viability. Do you?
>It is a false assumption to say that because socialized healthcare works in some countries, the entire scheme of capitalism is therefore inferior

GP didn't say this, though. They said applying the model of American capitalism to healthcare fails to deliver (a reasonable standard of care, I assume). Your assessment seems to largely agree.
Yep, sorry about that. I meant to reply to the parent.
Cloud, Containers and Infrastructure Advocacy Staff Developer (www.ibm.com) | San Francisco Bay Area, CA | Advocacy Staff Developer (ONSITE)

Please connect with me on https://www.linkedin.com/in/animeshsingh1 if you are interested

Are you an accomplished developer looking to share your experiences and lead the next wave of how developers collaborate and build industry leading solutions based on open source cloud technologies? If so, IBM is the place to be.

We are building teams of developers whose overall mission is to develop innovative applications and solutions on IBM`s Open Cloud Platform and Infrastructure offerings that will engage developers and create a strong pull for them to leverage IBM`s technologies and build applications using our products. You will have the freedom to develop applications using all of the technologies that IBM has to offer. The list includes, but is not limited to, Bluemix, Serverless, Containers Services including Docker, Kubernetes, Cloud Foundry and OpenWhisk. You will also engage with the development community through outreach programs such as hackathons, meetups, workshops and more.

Key aspects and skills for this role would be have an understating and working knowledge of Cloud computing concepts like PaaS, IaaS, Serverless, Containers, etc, breadth of knowledge of many programming languages including Web Languages, Swift, Python, Ruby, Go and others. To go along with the programming you will also be expected to have a working knowledge of CI/CD processes and tools. Being active in open source developer communities such as Apache, OpenStack, CNCF, Kubernetes, Cloud Foundry and others is a plus, and so is being responsive and visible on Stack overflow, Reddit, Google groups etc.

You should also have good communication skills, both written and verbal, as you will be in roles where you will speak at hackathons, meetups, and other public venues as well as communicating via blogs, emails and other written communication. You will also be expected to have a social presence by leveraging social media outlets like Twitter etc.

Multiple opportunities are available. Candidates must be willing to be based in one of the following locations: Bay Area
No I mean after it's fixed, the previously-disclosed information becomes harmless. Obviously anyone who exploited it before you reset your password/tokens may have caused you harm.

> Another thing to keep in mind is that many(most?) token based authentication systems don't invalidate tokens.

In my experience, changing your password generally invalidates all outstanding tokens. And yes, this does mean invalidating all of them instead of just the leaked one, but that's not usually a big deal.
There are enough people talking to each other to make it interesting, at least for me. But the issue that most people are having is political nuts who just go around doing a search for "Donald Trump" or whoever and then abusing anyone who said anything remotely critical. Even worse are the actual white supremacists who do that or worse.

The bots are a problem as well, but they aren't what runs people off the platform.
> configure your primary bucket to replicate data to the secondary bucket automatically

Well, when the primary goes down, your write operations would get busted.

If the upstream source allows it, just write to both buckets at once. E.g. with Logstash this is trivial.

This is mostly unrelated to our original goals, which was reliability and performance. This wasn't to protect ourselves in the event of S3 going down, the timing just worked out that it saved us during that as well while also accomplishing the original goals.

Yeah, the common sentiment is 'the best time to take action was 40 years ago. The absolute limit was 20 years ago. There's no stopping it now, even if we reduce our emissions to zero. The latent emissions in the atmosphere will already bone us. I'm glad I live in the Netherlands. We're a very rich country, and we have been battling water for more than a thousand years as a people. Places like Bangladesh will be completely destroyed..
Doing a check up on an apparently healthy person would be wasting time and money looking for something to be wrong. That seems right to me..

Personally, I kind of wish my GP was there to help me optimize my health, rather than just to diagnose illness.

Like, all those dietary restrictions they give to people who've had heart attacks? Why not give them to me before I have a heart attack, so I won't ever get one? Make my life more of a hassle, so that I live longer!

I want to have someone in my life who plays the same role that a dental hygienist plays a dentist visit, but for my general physical health.
The PS4 and Xbox One came out in 2013.
I usually have a phone, and sometimes also a laptop. If a added the Switch it would be add a far superior viewing experience when I am sitting in the train and watching.

Also, when Im playing video games and want to look up something, I would like it to be 2 clicks away and not on a different device.

I think Nintendo could just sell these as tablets that are specially good for gaming. The people who already carry around tablet will not drop theirs until the Switch supports common stuff, and they will not buy a Switch because why add another device of the same size.

I forced user password resets on a forum I run. It is powered by myBB.

This is towards the edge of my knowledge circle but...

It doesn't appear that any hashing takes place client side[0] with myBB before the password is transmitted to the server, but I may have missed it when rechecking the code.

Presumably that would mean in my case users who logged in potentially had their cleartext passwords pass through Cloudflare's network when they submitted their login details.

Despite being behind https, when https is terminated at Cloudflare's edge and re-encrypted to my origin server (I use full/strict crypto setting), there was the possibility for decrypted data to be held in memory and then the possibility for it to be injected into the html pages of other sites when the bug was triggered.

It would be a very very small probability of actually happening, but not zero.

No details from the server should have leaked because only the content of transmitted data that passed over Cloudflare could have been leaked and the comparison of the provided password to the hashed/salted one in the database would have occurred on the server and not passed over the network.

So the answer is it would depend on the way the sites you use handled password transmission and comparison. Personally I'd change them, and actually have done so for sites I use.

You have clearly never played super smash bros brawl. Idk about the Wii U version cause after braw I went back to Melese for good but I assume it's the same.
Correction: It's 1.2 million definitive leaks.

The only question is what is in these leaks exactly.
Nintendo seems strongest when they are focusing purely on the gaming experience. Adding web browsers and Netflix because you can is just a distraction and not where their core competencies and interests are.
And the point is that disagreement isn't what runs people off that platform. It's abusive behavior by large groups of people (and sometimes their bots) towards whoever they don't like.
network effects and product vision are pretty valuable, maybe not 24B, but certainly way more than 20m

Facebook also IPOd with minimal profits, 300 million users who would never be willing to pay for the service, and hordes of VCs ready to fund their competitors. Snapchats mileage may vary, but facebook now generates lots of ad revenue.
I am sympathetic to that argument, but you're making a mistake in this case.

I found it riveting.

They've already figured out how to monetize, and did $400M in revenue last year. I do think that the $24B valuation is a bit high, but I don't think it's "the best short ever."

Wait what? So I switch from Sublime Text to Azure? Where is the missing node here... How do you go from using VS Code to using Azure?
It depends. I'm talking more about salary/rent ratio. In Russia I was spending about 30% of my salary for rent (and apartment was big and new and nice). Here I spend about 40%. And apartment is tiny and bad (in comparison). Then, here I pay much more for broadband ($95, and it is much slower), more for a phone. And fuel is muuuch more expensive here.

I'm assuming that what you save in NZ is higher than what you save in Russia though - after feeding, clothing, housing and entertaining yourself.

Back in Russia, in all companies I've worked at (not top-tier companies) the team was great: they knew a lot of stuff, we were discussing JVM internals during lunch breaks, talked about new things in IT etc. I miss that.

That's really interesting. The only thing I really know that came out of Russia is Nginx, I didn't know that in general Russia had such a tech scene. Wonder if that's because English language proficiency isn't high.
Well then there's email, phone, text message, snail mail, fax, carrier pigeon, whatever for that 0.01%.
My first reaction was "wow my company must have sucked." And granted on many levels we did (and were never close to being the hottest company in the world), but if I fought for 10% seed dilution I would have been laughed out of the room.

Maybe it's different if you're a shit-hot YC company, but man. I thought you were successful if you stayed below 20% at seed.
It's not that they're 'so great' it's just that they are usually less business savvy and doing less 'jockeying for position'. They tend to not be in it for the money as much as they're in for the challenge which makes it relatively easy to take advantage of them. (Been there, done that, have several t-shirts to go with it and I promise it won't happen again but if I had known 20 years ago what I know now... never mind, hindsight is always perfect.)
Maybe I missed this in the docs, but why isn't HAProxy considered a new point of failure?

So your take is that NN regulation should include a test for existing competitors, potential future competitors, and the general agreeability for an entity to become a monopoly?

I got my double pulmonary embolism after a flight from California to NY, as well. Odd thing is they never found the source of the clot (my legs showed nada).

I still make sure to get up and walk around frequently on flights now! (As well as the usual anticoagulant libation... Bloody Mary)
It's OK with the Russians. The performance is good enough.They probably care more about the verification against security issues, and could do interesting stuff there, but we surely won't hear about that.
Doubt that they have any log, they have explained before that they only keep 4hours of logs because it's too much volume of data. FYI: Traffic is over 4M requests per second.

Guess they only kept a counter of requests. A bit of maths and you get an estimate for the amount of leaks.
Happened to see this on Stack Overflow this morning and sent in an application there before I saw it here. Having lived in Rockford several years ago, it's very cool to see a solid tech company in the area.
I like your idea (actually i practice it), but your investors aren't putting a lot of money in your hands so you keep it at the bank to them, right? They could do that for themselves.

By experience you don't need years on cash to survive in the long run, discipline and a business that makes sense is way more powerful.

But off course, months of runaway is necessary. More than that is luxury.

"will rather be looking at houses in the suburbs / outside of the main cities, so this should bring the costs down."

No, it doesn't work like that. Have a look at some RE websites and Google Maps. Prices are insane, even in places where you can't reasonably commute to places where there are jobs for educated people. Only places where prices aren't insane is in places people only go to get away from other people. Look, I loved living in NZ in some aspects, but it's not a place for someone with ambition. Even kiwis with ambition leave, even if they don't want really want to.

Sure, though in many of S3's use-cases you won't care about writes at all, just read availability. E.g. for S3 buckets serving as canonical binary-asset hosts for CDNs to front.
Agree, I saw a startup where I worked go down because of too much money.

They had a very good seed round and raised $2M. They used this to develop their first product, which did really well. After 2 years we had 50 employees and were breaking even, sometimes even a bit profitable, so we had even some extra in the bank. Obviously such numbers drove investors crazy, and they went to the highest amount they could raise without selling most of the company. So they raised about $20M.

After a few months our product (and our income) started to dwindle (competitors were upping up their game, different platforms became relevant,...), but the founders were very chill about it - I guess because we had enough cash in the bank to run the business for years without firing anyone.
But after a year of so the investors started to panic - no wonder since our revenue numbers were in freefall. After another year or so the founders were forced to sell the company for small change compared to what it was valued at its peak.
The End of the Olympics as We Know It
Hey, chipmakers deserve more credit than that! I'm a chip architect and we license from IMG and we license IP from others as well, but then there's a shitton of work and plenty of things which can go wrong, costing loads of money and big delays. For those chip makers rolling their own IPs, this is rarely the biggest risk, the biggest risk is integrating everything into a working, marketable chip delivered more or less on time and within budget.

Incidentally, the reason why chip companies are worth so much more than IP companies is that the cost and risk of making chips is much larger. IP and chip companies are both fabless, if the costs and risks were about the same, then I don't see why profits wouldn't be about the same.

Now it could be that in this instance, marketability, schedule and budget weren't a particularly big deal, and maybe the performance is so bad that this in itself made a lot of problems disappear. But I think it's likely that someone still sweated quite some to make it work. (TFA claims they were the first to implement this CPU in silicon, BTW - again, could be easy enough if they didn't care about performance at all, or if Imagination did all the work on the synthesis scripts and the backend or held their hand, but if they wanted high performance and had to optimize synthesis and placement themselves, that's serious work. TSMC won't do it for you, either - they want a GDS-II file, and I don't think they outsourced the actual chip design.)
What has, and where? All it takes is a quick trip to T-Mobile's website to see the list of video services they've zero-rated without any regulatory issues at all.
