Fair enough.

I wasn't entirely satisfied with the word, but it was close enough. I meant that the words you (and others I read before) chose were of the polarizing variety, the kinds that people end up using in mobs. That is to say, instead of describing the situation at hand, I felt you were describing the closest clearly illegal thing someone could quickly think of, probably because your information was third-hand.

It seemed to me that you felt that the thing these DDoSsers did wrong was that they had an impact on the business of PayPal directly, rather than just the PR of PayPal. Well no, it seemed to me that you wouldn't have agreed with vocal badmouthing either, but that that would have resulted in an entirely different chain of events and so is not worth considering carefully.

If your opinion was not that no company's business should be directly manipulated for policy retribution purposes, I misunderstood. It was my intent to assert that this is not a position I consider valid and that the choice to briefly DDoS PayPal was almost certainly taken after considering less and more radical approaches. I saw no evidence towards the positions I do consider valid, that the retribution was overly severe or wholly unjust.
I can't see in the raw HTML any indication that you're using caching; when you have a spare minute, I'd advise installing the W3 Total Cache plugin. Going forwards, if you're not using nginx already then I'd highly recommend making the switch - in combination with caching it'll make things like this a thing of the past on a 512MB box :)
If I had to give a name to this approach, I'd call it "adversarial debugging".

It's an excellent technique for software improvement, as it somewhat mirrors an evolutionary game. You have your prey (your software) and a predator (the chaos-like monkeys). When the predator is successful, you improve your prey until the predator is under control (with non-chaos monkeys). Then you improve your predator (chaos-like monkeys). This cycle of prey/predator improvement can be repeated as long as needed.

As saurik points out, this has the potential to lead to cascading failures. But this is true of any complex system that has multiple levels of self-repair - repair systems in biological systems can also work against the host organism.

I'd love to see commonly used software hardened in this way - Apache for example. Imagine a contest where the aim is to find creative ways to bring down sandboxed Apache servers (executed on the machine of the contest participant). You (the contestant) come up with an Apache killer and submit it to the contest website and get points based on how much damage your code can do. This gives the Apache developers an idea of where to harden Apache.

The obvious danger with such a system is that it's a treasure trove of DOS attacks against existing Apache installations. But the argument in favor is that some black-hats might already have similar code anyway and they won't be publishing their code. Also, the code is a good test harness that can be used to verify that major architectural changes (such as what would be needed to integrate Google's SPDY into Apache) don't make Apache vulnerable to previous attacks. And of course, other similar software (Nginx et al.) can also benefit from some of these test cases.

50 Greatest Computer Workstation (PC/Mac) Setups
I've kicked around this idea on and off for a number of years. I first remember having this in 2004, because I started to move - we moved 3 times in two years, between 3 states. Repeating the same stuff, registering for the same services, etc. all got rather tedious. By 2007/2008, this idea felt like it would dovetail nicely with openid, but that subsequently failed to take off.

Was it because of the decentralization aspect? Techies seem to be in love with 'decentralization' and 'federation' (witness the diaspora love last year), but average people aren't, and you need average people to be using a system like this in large quantities before companies who might use it have to take you seriously.

This scenario they are tackling is classic chicken and egg, and I'm not sure it's going to be solved outside of a major player like google, facebook or microsoft (or potentially LinkedIn, Apple or Yahoo, but both are longshots). The population at large is starting to grasp the concept of an online identity, as well as the benefits and challenges of controlling aspects of privacy over the web. I don't want to say it would be trivial, but certainly doable for FB or Google to give you a way to allow ID pulls from companies wanting to sync your data in to their CRM systems - they're already doing it with loads of games/apps. A bit more granularity and a nicer UI would go a long way in this space to not only owning and defining it, but preventing any serious competition from upstarts like trustfabric.

If TF can find a way of leveraging existing SN identities as a jumpstart, they may have something. But... for mass adoption, I fear the brand recognition is likely going to keep us tied to a FB/GOOG duopoly for a while.

Google's Help page lets their users Google for 'antivirus', because they don't want to endorse any product.

Like the novice setting random weightings on a neural network so it won't be biased (and the master saying it will still be biased only now you won't know how), refusing to endorse one as the best doesn't make them all equal ( but it does leave the decision to someone less able to make it.)
Before TF can get users on board they must first get businesses on board. In order to accomplish the latter they must ask businesses to create momentum (which doesn’t currently exist) that would, over the course of time if successful, reduce their ability to employ current marketing strategies towards their customers.

Yes, I agree that from a business owner’s perspective dollars spent marketing towards prospective customers who want to hear from you are more efficient outflows than towards those who do not want to hear from you. However, one underlying concept of marketing to new prospective customers is the introduction of a novel product for which they previously were unaware existed. Therefore, how would a customer who does not know that a product produced by Seller X existed approve Seller X to begin soliciting their business? This may be a fundamental flaw in the business or maybe the YouTube video is just more customer-centric than business to make this apparent to potential business customers (for which I assume are the ones who will generate revenue). I’d like to see their pitch to business customers before deciding either way. I like the concept but I am not yet sold on some of the inherent biz model fundamentals as of yet. I’m sure that over time they will work this and other issues out.

In most cases first-to-market provides an advantage. However, in some instances of extreme novel concepts where timing isn’t yet appropriate, first-to-market simply provides paving of a runway for others to take flight from and eventually leap-frog the trailblazers whose time & resources made things easier for those before them. This concept may be a bit early (aprox 5 years) but I wish them luck as I am always pulling for the Pioneer rather than the better-timed copycat.

This requires me not just to absolutely trust trustfabric, but to trust that they're security is bulletproof and that their identity reclamation mechanisms such carefully engineered paragons defence in depth.

Given their admittedly very clear privacy policy does not rule out selling your information in aggregate or in detail nor changing the policy without explicit notification they've fallen before the first hurdle.

We desperately need a neutral provider of cryptographically secure identity, ideally that can be verified against 3rd parties such as banks or passports. The problem is I don't know what the business model for that looks like.

gcc, at least, optimises out the null deref for both:-

*(int *)0;

and:-

for(;;)
*(int *)0;

So the first bit of code does nothing, and the second slips off into an infinite loop.

I suspect that treating expressions that demonstrably lack side effects (other than the intended segfault here of course) as statements is undefined, and hence these are getting optimised out (even with -O0).

Clearly with:-

while(*(int *)0)

The expression is being evaluated and is therefore not elided, I guess the choice of while is to 'be cute' as others have suggested, and I guess the world is sane in plan 9 and 0 is readable so you can't get a situation where it escapes the loop. Perhaps there is a deeper reason here that I am missing, however.

Someone had to do the hard work of reasoning about concurrency and enforcing synchronization; it doesn't come for free. In the case of SIMD instructions, it was the processor designers.

With well designed interfaces, parallel programming can be easier. But such interfaces abstract away the need to consider concurrency and synchronization - mostly. If you use the constructions outside of the bounds where safety is promised, then all bets are off. For example, parallelizing for loops with independent iterations with OpenMP is trivial, and you don't have to consider concurrency and synchronization. But once you provide non-independent loops, everything blows up and now those things are very important.

Parallel programming in itself is not hard. It's just that most of today's computing has origins in single-pipeline architectures, and parallelism came to be a massive layer of hacks on top of it.

That's why I chuckle a bit when parallel programming is reduced to discussions about barriers and mutexes -- paradigms such as dataflow don't need these kludges. That is, until you try to implement dataflow in a von-Neumann architecture (and today you have little choice).

We can probably agree that moving limbs isn't intrinsically "hard". But it probably would be if our biological makeup was built for photosynthesis.

I'm not sure which privacy policy you're reading, but the one on https://www.trustfabric.com/connect/privacy-policy/ makes it pretty clear that they'll never sell your information.
I agree with your thoughts and I will definitely take that into consideration in the future, the post was meant to simply the concept of how they tax plan their business and how difficult it is to enact such a plan.

To clarify, Google's foreign tax rate is 2.4% and their US tax rate is 21.2%. But, I believe it is important to delve further than the surface of these numbers. The 2010 fiscal year has been the most profitable year yet for Google and $17.5B is more than 7x the net income presented on their current financial statements. Also, they've refused to disclose the amount of income that is transferred to their offshore activities through their APA.

But, note that their income from foreign sources is equated to 52% of their overall revenues of approximately $30B. This would suggest that at a minimum their foreign sourced income held overseas is at least more than 50%. The APA is designed to help the company shift the tax incidence to different tax regimes, thus it would be more than likely that the true number is much higher. But, it would be impossible to determine without access to a number of documents beginning with the agreement (which lasts for 5 years before they must renegotiate for a new plan).

We could make this much more complicated, but I wanted to focus on the tax plan since most people were interested in that aspect.
Mozilla announces enterprise user working group for corporate users
If I do some work and grow some food from seeds, I have created actual value by my work. Monetary and fiscal policy does not do this. It creates or destroys currency, thereby either diluting or concentrating the value of dollars, creates temporary incentives to borrow or lend, which will be offset by the inevitable bounce-back. The end result is just a temporary fluctuation.

Errr, sure.
I believe that the right way (TM) is to just publish the source code, no strings attached, no guarantees given. If anything, register the name as a trademark. If that is too radical for you, LGPL might just be what you want.

You already outlined your business model: "make money by helping other companies making money with our software; comprising training, enhancing our software, writing custom data apps, etc."

Nothing of that requires any licensing. You demonstrate that you can write good code, keep it up to date, invent some new things. You will have written a very useful toolkit, and no one knows it better than you. Do you really fear that someone trusts other people more to build on it? Do you really fear that you will be out of work, when you have demonstrated these skills for all the world to see?
