As an SEO that site search structure is a good idea, especially since they don´t employ canonical or noindex/follow on the search pages.

Let us say we both link to http://schema.org/docs/search_results.html#q=test and http://schema.org/docs/search_results.html#q=product .

Since it is a hashtag we link to, all the link juice will get consolidated in the search page, which passes it on to the rest of the site.

If we had linked to http://schema.org/docs/search_results.html?q=test and http://schema.org/docs/search_results.html?q=product we would have created two (low-quality and near-duplicate) pages in the google index.

The same principle applies to pagination. If you can do javascript pagination #page=2 vs. dynamic pagination ?page=2 you are nearly always better of with the hash pagination. If you do it right, you get the benefit of a single page, with the added bonus of being able to bookmark a certain page and having browser history working.

If they call themselves a "venture capital firm" then there's no game theoretic win to asking if they're accredited. If they aren't, they can't invest anyways, so hot-seating them is dumb.
Some times a person is just ready to move on. Give ample notice with a firm date, offer to help transition the knowledge to your replacement and then shake hands and leave.

It's been my experience that bosses that come up with the next best thing do it because what they originally set out to do is failing. Some will call it pivoting, others will call it getting the code monkeys to write something different while we figure it out. Either way, without a financial stake in the new product, you have no power and since you're the only developer there...

"SonyPictures.com was owned by a very simple SQL injection, one of the most primitive and common vulnerabilities, as we should all know by now. From a single injection, we accessed EVERYTHING. Why do you put such faith in a company that allows itself to become open to these simple attacks?

"What's worse is that every bit of data we took wasn't encrypted. Sony stored over 1,000,000 passwords of its customers in plaintext, which means it's just a matter of taking it. This is disgraceful and insecure: they were asking for it.
I've lost count of the number of times that I have left a website simply because they wanted me to provide some sort of information before I saw what they actually had to offer.

> Note that there are accreditation procedures, regulating bodies, and licensing for teachers.

> So how are teachers not professionals?

Those are schemes for limiting the number of people who are allowed to teach in certain circumstances. They don't have much to do with quality teaching.

If you disagree, the following questions are relevant.

(1) How often does a regulating body discipline a teacher?

(2) In what circumstances are licenses actually revoked?

Feel free to compare the numbers to the corresponding ones for stock brokers. (I don't think that stock brokers are clean enough, so if teachers are worse....)

How is that at all costly? Groupon receives money up front--say $20 for a $40 coupon and then pays half to the merchant ($10 in this case). The customer is the one floating it--Groupon has theirs, the merchant has theirs.
In my opinion yelp has no (exclusive) right to the user contributed data contained in its site. Google should not have to provide attribution to "yelp" if they scrape my yelp review, it should provide attribution to me.

Looks like they beat Zynga to it, there's only a handful to high-profile tech companies who are likely to go IPO soon, perhaps we could bet on who goes next + what their valuation will be at.

Maybe the next one isn't one of the big ones (Facebook, Zynga) but is instead something like Yelp or Pandora.

Edit: Didn't realize that Pandora just filed. Overshadowed, indeed.

I've purchased IDA Pro for years for legitimate reversing work, but on the rare occasion that I need to do some more dodgy work for clients, where I don't want to reveal any identity (previously name, now license number) via the watermarks in the database, I will use a pirated version of the software.

My point is that it is not possible to know for sure if the user of a pirated software is indeed a pirate, as there are reasons of privacy to use these editions of the IDA (as well as the most common one of just not paying for it in the first place.)

As to the question of whether Bushmanov has used a pirated edition of IDA for his work, it's interesting to note that the distributed .idb files are in two different formats - as far as I can tell versions 5.2 and 5.5, but the license key is the same for both: A2-86E4-B9BB-D3. It's not one I recognise from any of the common pirated versions but I suppose only Ilfak could tell for sure.

yep. And it was hard to pick Amazon among the well funded overhyped dot-com crowd. Nothing indicates so far that Groupon is Amazon, not Webvan for example.

Ones who picked AMZN would like to think that they were smart, not just lucky. Ones who picked some dot-com loser instead of AMZN would like to think that they were unlucky, not "unsmart" :)

As far as the technology goes, it has some interesting aspects--sufficient to justify a couple stories. Economically, there's enough in it to justify another story or two.

The rest seems to be driven by speculators, and possibly borders on something like a pump and dump scheme to drive the price up so the speculators can make more money, at the expense of the later participants who fall for the hype.
Just follow your heart, seriously. You only have one life so live it.

If you are really that critical I would give them a month notice which is more than enough time to find a replacement. That is the best you can do. If you give them plenty of notice, they will have no reason to think you are screwing them. You'd be screwing them if you just quit and left the next day.

Warranty is key here. That and having prepared ops. Which is no different than it was with HD's.

But for the sake of it, let's run the numbers.

A 700GB drive being written at 2GB/s would fully cycle in 350 seconds. That's 86400/350 is 247 cycles a day (amusing 247 ~ 24/7 coincidence spotted).

Assuming a 10,000 cycle life, that's 40 days of operation. Go to 100,000 cycle life and that a 400 day lifetime of non-stop full-speed writing.

And worth every sweet cent of that somewhat short life, in this commenters opinion. I'm sure that the half rack of HD's it'd take to get this kind of IOPs wouldn't have an in any way improved expected lifetime cost. If you just need throughput the story may be a little different.

It's extremely difficult and expensive to transfer money from one country to another.

I live in Europe and you can transfer EUR money from one country to another for free; that's progress. But from the UK (in the EU but doesn't use the EUR currency) my bank only allows me to transfer £5k (US$8k) per day to other European countries, and each time I do it they charge me £25 for the privilege (US$40). I had a tax bill recently in Austria (where I live) due to assets held in the UK, I owed £20k. (I have no problem with having to pay the tax.) That took 4 long phone calls over consecutive (business) days to transfer that money, and cost me £100 in total. Imagine if my assets in the UK, and thus my tax owed in Austria, had been 10x as large, or 100x as large.

I have no interest in dealing drugs or hiding income from the taxman. But using banks make things incredibly difficult, and charge huge fees for their trouble. It's time banks got "disrupted".

>> A person has no idea that they are violating the copyright of copyright
>> holder X when they download the file."
>
> And this is my whole point.

No, it is not your whole point. They are being sued based on the contents of
the file when the file with masquerading as something completely different.
The fact that they intended to violate copyright in the first place is
irrelevant. In this case, the files were masquerading as copyrighted works that
this plaintiff does not hold the copyright for. It would be up to the
copyright holder to attempt to sue these people, not someone completely
different just because it will 'teach people a lesson.' This kind of 'teach
people a lesson' bullshit is no different than when the DoJ was trying to say
that violating MySpace's Term of Service was tantamount to Computer
Hacking/Fraud because there were no other laws to punish that lady that caused
the student to commit suicide.

The idea that someone should be punished for something they didn't intend to
do, even though their original intent was bad in the first place is an abuse of
the legal system, IMO.

It's probably easier to boil it down to this:

The user is being sued for 'violating the copyright of copyright holder X' not
for some nebulous 'violating copyright but it doesn't matter what copyright'
infraction or else I could sue you for violating someone else's copyright.

Therefore the question should really be, "is it reasonable to have expected the
user to know that they would have violated the copyright of copyright holder X
when they downloaded/uploaded that file?" You're trying to phrase the question
as, "is it reasonable to have expected the user to know that they were
violating any copyright when they downloaded/uploaded the file?"

Make sure you prepare the conversation you're going to have. Blurting out what may be pent-up frustration (as I read it) will ruin it. Be ready to explain yourself and hear counterarguments.

Don't change your mind during the conversation! Make the choice beforehand (if you're already sure now) or give yourself a few days to think about it.

If you have a good relationship with the owner, then you need to speak up and let them know that you're feeling the stress. Tell them that you feel like you need a change of pace.

I agree, and these two would concern me if I were considering investing:

-Retain our existing merchants and have them offer additional deals through our marketplace;

-React to challenges from existing and new competitors.

Groupon could be facing the double-whammy of existing merchants in many markets having no incentive to offer follow-on deals while threats from the competition would erode margins. These are threats to existing revenue streams, not just to revenue growth.

In my view, investors in Groupon must be betting that they can successfully translate their current traction into a more sustainable business model (i.e. Groupon Now). At this valuation, not a bet I would take.
Given how much bad publicity and legal exposure costs a corporation of Sony's size I'd say that getting their affairs in order across the board should have been a bigger priority. As it is wildly unreasonable not to have taken a good hard look at every piece of infrastructure after the fist major breach I'd say absurd describes this situation pretty well.
What's worse is that every bit of data we took wasn't encrypted. Sony stored over 1,000,000 passwords of its customers in plaintext, which means it's just a matter of taking it. This is disgraceful and insecure: they were asking for it.

I'm not sure that is true for any company with as much surface area. I would be extremely disappointed if it were true of any of Canada's five major banks, for example. Google has been under continuous hacking attack from China and so far they haven't had to 'fess up to storing passwords in plaintext.

This is why we have a big warning when you install a Raplet — you are trusting the authors of the Raplet to treat your email addresses with respect. This is why we only list Raplets in the gallery from authors we know and trust.

A hash would work for many use cases, but wouldn't work for adding a contact to a CRM/Helpdesk/etc.

Access to the plaintext email addresses could be a permission that Raplets ask for, but this may be unnecessary complication.

It is just sad that all these hackers think they're doing everybody a favor by attacking "evil corporations" like Sony. But while they may be right in exposing Sony's lousy security, meanwhile they hurt one million people by releasing their information out into the public in a way that can never be taken back.

Unless you think hurting one company you deem bad outweighs hurting a million innocent private citizens, then your priorities are a bit messed up.
