My Mobile got hacked by 'Anonymous'. How can I fix it?
Yesterday night I got a message which says:

"Your Mobile is Officially hacked by Anonymous!!EINSELF"

The strange thing is that there was no reply possible, so I guess it wasn't a normal sms. Also it does not end up in my incoming messages. One further strange thing is that there was a mobile number available from the options. Is this the sender number?

Should I go to the police and ask what I should/can do? Should I send some questions via sms to that number?

How can my phone be hacked? My phone is a simple samsung outdoor one. What is now possible for the hacker? Can I use it anymore securely for e.g. mobile TANs?

BTW: the "EIN SELF" is a German phrase which is "one eleven" in English. With that phrase the author ironically notes three times '1' which can happen if 'stupid' or young computer guys do not press the shift after the '!' anymore if they are in a rush.
Do you work for Netflix? On what planet does any of this make sense for customers.

Hastings is the very definition of stupid: hurting himself, his company, and his customers -- all at the same time, and totally oblivious to it all.

His method to "fix" his previous mistake is to make an even bigger one. Unbelievable.
Yikes, I just realized that I put down the wrong point. Point 3 was the one I objected to.
If you haven't read it already, the 2007 paper "K-12 Entrepreneurship: Slow Entry, Distant Exit" by the founders of Wireless Generation is excellent. It lays out the barriers to selling to districts, as well as some ways around them.

Search engines certainly should interpret it that way, but I think the point was to question whether they all (for someone value of "all") really do do it that way in practice.
No, we'll be dropping our Kwikster accounts immediately and looking for an alternate streaming provider (cough Amazon cough).

Honestly, it feels like this board is being trolled by Netflix employees or paid PR, who see "no" problem with this move. I don't know a single person in meatspace who thinks these changes are good. Not one.

And people who were putting up (but unhappy) with the 60% price hike are now actively looking to switch.

Hastings is destroying shareholder and customer value at a pace only matched by HP's CEO at this point.
I think second link (Skiena) is the same as first one.
I get annoyed when people make generic claims that SSDs from vendor X are not as reliable as vendor Y.

The truth is that each vendor manufactures multiple lines of SSDs, each running different major firmware versions, with different hardware revisions. So reliability variance between models from a single vendor is often much more significant that variance between different vendors.

In your experience with OCZ, which model do you have experience with? Vertex 2? 3? Agility? Enterprise-class Talos? What about the Intel ones? Were they 50nm NAND-based SSDs? 34nm? You need to share some of these details. Claiming that Intel > OCZ is devoid of significance.
Also I don't get the creating of a new brand altogether. Netflix is a popular brand and a household name. Who knows qwikster? Looks indicative of a future split up of the company to me.
He's even replying to comments in the Facebook comments threads below. That impresses me a lot.

I started seeing horrible Rails app initialization time when testing my rails application, but this slowness can be mitigated if you use nice assisting tools like spork and guard. Also ruby 1.9 >= through <1.9.3 does not load requirements in a efficient manner. There is a patch for 1.9.2 that improves requirement loading that helps. There are many ways to improve Rail's test performance. If you spend the time to tune your tests and test environment, Rails test performance should be good.
Yeah that doesn't read so well. I stand corrected.
I'm not sure the advice about "not becoming a pointy haired boss" is any good.

Not all structures can stay small enough to avoid management. The startup phase is just an initial phase that will dysfunction as the number of employees grow.

Additionally, I don't think that having a manager who programs is a way to increase management quality.

So how do you get good management? There's no simple answer to that, it's a central problem to all companies as they grow.
> I can guarantee you a sizeable chunk of people who were just happy with the dual plan will end up picking one or the other.

But the upside for netflix is those people that end up picking both.

The time to analyze this is 6 months from now when the figures are in.

My personal best guess about what they're about to do is sell off the DVD division.
Something along the lines of a smaller version of (2) happened some years back in South Africa, since they've got a higher rate of HIV than any other country. IIRC, they were ignoring patents and manufacturing various medicines locally instead.

I really wish they would address the lack of many movies and TV shows for streaming. I'd love to just subscribe to Netflix instead of Qwikster, but the streaming catalogue is just not there right now.
Reed Hastings still hasn't really explained the Netflix price hike.

Technically neither does the transaction data. I mean, there's no technical requirement that transaction data needs to be stored on a central Google server.

They could have made some arbitrary statement like "by using the camera app you give us access to all of the pictures you ever take, so that we can back them up for you."
This is a Beta male view of female sexual selection: "if I can just get rich enough, girls will like me".

The truth is that for the middle class and above, social intelligence, wit, charm, "Game", and other characteristics matter as much, or more, than raw financial net worth. Of course, these are often correlated, but there are plenty of broke bikers, musicians, and womanizers doing quite well too, in comparison to Aspie SW millionaires.
Yet another self-promotion article. Oh, we stuff data in memory and then when it is time to write changes on disk everything got frozen! MySQL suck, buy our solution! Nice guys.)

First, it is useless to store data in memory if you want them be committed into disk storage. The general idea here isn't about switching to some new version of mysql or SSD disks, it is about to realize that you have a data-flow inadequate for your one-server architecture.

Second - check-point intervals should be adjusted to your actual data-flow, which means they should be executed often enough. If there is situation of almost constant checkpoint - non-stop data writes, that is the sign that you need to consider sharding/multi-server solution.

The hints that there must be no other disk activity on the same hardware volume or any swapping in OS, I suppose, are obvious. People who have a /var/log and /var/db on the same volume are idiots.

There are also good idea to use one file per table storage and put a data and physical logs on a separate hardware volumes (links are your friends). One raid-X volume that fits all is a quite naive solution. Raid isn't a guaranty of reliability. Replications to a back-up servers are.

Third, when you test your configuration before put it into production, you should tune-up your servers to perform with data and log syncing, and then figure out appropriate buffer sizes and checkpoint intervals. Then, in production, when you're experiencing an increasing flow of queries, you may choice to switch into different syncing strategy and/or more often but a little bit faster checkpoints.

Configuring mysql with huge buffers and no sync means lack of understanding the basic concepts, self-delusion and misuse of software and hardware. ^_^

I am a netflix employee.

I hold my employer to certain standards and I do not defend anything they do automatically - for instance, I thought the way the plan split/price hike was communicated was just awful. So I'm not trolling.

When I first heard this plan many months ago, my immediate reaction was to look for another job. I have, perhaps obviously, decided to stay. One of the biggest reasons I've decided to stay is that I believe Reed is one of the most honest, hungry, and intelligent CEO's around.

These changes will cause short term pain, but I honestly believe the products will be much better after the split.
> Is synonymous with good developers are also good architects.

But, most architects are lazy genius. Only way to utilize their skills is not allowing them to code, but letting them designs and coach.

We have spent decades developing HDD fault-tolerance mechanisms or processes such as RAID and backups. We should trust them.

In Aaron Patterson's recent "Double Dream Hands: So Intense!" presentation[0], he came to the conclusion that Rails 3's slowness is because MRI sucks at GC on a deep stack depth. The average stack depth of Rails 3 applications is ENORMOUS.

He mentions in the video that he rewrote the Rack API to pass a mutated var to the next piece of middleware in the Rack chain instead of calling the next middleware and passing an env var to it. The gains were pretty impressive. Hopefully, they make this change to the Rack API for Rails 3.2.

That change + the 1.9.3 fix for requiring files[1] should result in much faster overall Rails performance.

Teachers may not be universally poor but wait a few years - at least in the US.

If we're talking about teachers as a consumer group perhaps we could at least think for a moment where that group is going...

I will admit that I don't know for certain that total disposable income of all US teacher finally reach zero in N years. But if a person is thinking of getting a teacher to buy their product out of the teacher's own pocket as a sales strategy, that person should keep in mind the number of US politicians who essentially say all public servants should be fired or live on starvation wages.
I like Paul but this essay is especially simplistic and poorly reasoned.
Although abhorred by software makers such as most HN-readers, throwing hardware at the problem is often the fastest and cheapest way to tackle performance issues.

Especially when it indeed is "crappy software" that will take major effort to rewrite/refactor.

Hardware is cheaper than developers, and the former doesn't fail to deliver half as often as the latter...
^^ This is why Netflix is fubar'd. Totally internally looking -- not giving a shit what it means for their customers.

Yeah, we all love paying two bills each month, having to search for content two places, having our ratings queues forked and kept out of sync. Thanks, we're all so glad to hear that it's easier for you.

We'll make it even easier: find new customers. We're gone.
You said, subscription based businesses. I am not sure what physical assets have to do with anything. Even ignoring Netflix's physical DVD library, if you consider hosting a physical asset, then I think you'll also have to qualify Netflix as a "subscription service which provides automated hosting & licensing of select content for subscriber's convenience".

> Is it unreasonable to think that if someone has put in ten thousand hours into a general field such as programming (across various languages, as opposed to just focus on one language) that there are enough general principles to extrapolate for them to be considered an expert programmer?

Well, maybe. But maybe Jeff Fox is right, and you really need ten thousand hours of programming in Forth to perform at an expert level programming in Forth. And, given IBM's historical turnover, it wouldn't be surprising if performing at an expert level maintaining DB2 required not just ten thousand hours of programming, but ten thousand hours of programming in PL/M on DB2, in order to know your way around that particular codebase well enough to perform well. Certainly the ramp-up time is likely to be longer on that codebase than on something more modern.

But maybe we should go in the other direction — maybe Bill Gates is right, and it only takes a year or two of programming to perform within an epsilon of your best possible performance, and it's really something broader, like "engineering design of artifacts with human users", that needs a whole ten thousand hours of practice to master — not merely programming as such.

My point is that these can't all be correct. Being an expert at engineering design of artifacts with human users implies that you're an expert at programming, which implies that you're an expert at programming in any context: in Forth, in PL/M in the core of DB2, on the space shuttle. Being an expert surgeon entails being expert at tying sutures, but it surely doesn't entail spending ten thousand hours practicing the tying of sutures.
Indeed. Perhaps I have been unlucky, but of 5 SSDs that I've ever touched 2 have had catastrophic controller failures.

There's a a real word for this. 'Plutocrat.' A member of the 'plutocracy': a government controlled by the wealthy.

If we had a flat tax (say, 20% on both capital gains -- short and long term -- and income tax), we wouldn't have any of this nonsense. But then, we'd have a lot of out-of-work lobbyists (read: politicians in 'retirement') and people who work for non-profits and charities...

There are a lot of stats everywhere. Here is one I like. The top 1% pays for 38% of all taxes. The top 10% pays 70%. If I showed you this stat, you would lean on taxing the poor more, but that isn't right either. Everyone should look at the problem in aggregate and decide for themselves what is fair for our system as opposed to analyzing individual stats and extrapolated analysis from that alone.

This whole Netflix debacle is a shame. Its one of the few web apps I don't mind paying for at all since they provide excellent value and user experience on both the DVD and streaming side of things. Hopefully they can continue to do so after the split.

I can probably guess it has to do with the current political climate and the growing concern among its most vocal and recently austere adherents that union labor is bad, ergo teachers are as well.

'Selling to Teachers' is important because they are the ones who will be using it, so ultimately they should appreciate/approve of the product prior to purchasing it. However, very few teachers actually shell out their hard-earned cash - whether they're too poor, too cheap, not tech-savvy enough, etc. can be a long-winded debate in itself. I feel we should be having technology related discussions in the education field on a National level. We need to keep the big picture in mind! We are being outpaced by the rest of the developed world <http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2010-12-07-us-student...; and we are reticent to address the fundamental causes of this issue: our under-paid workforce of non-technical teachers are forced to teach in stressful environments and our solution is to inject standardized tests <http://bigthink.com/ideas/40118>; into our Public Education System, letting the test results determine whether a teacher is rewarded or fired. We hope this will stop us from falling behind the rest of the world... (shaking my head)

What we should be doing is getting technology into the hands of our children as soon as possible. They need to be exposed to it at an early age; not only will computers be a huge part of the rest of their lives but we are also beginning to see the overwhelming effects of technology-designed solutions to education problems <http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/07/ff_khan/>. The sooner we embrace this idea and make efforts to accommodate a rapidly changing world, the quicker our students (soon-to-be workforce participants) will be capable of contributing in this ever-increasing, high-tech society.

We need to be thinking outside of the box when discussing technology and education. It's time to revamp our National Education System, embrace the benefits of technology, and design software intended to make teachers more effective. So, you're right when you say 'Sell to Teachers', however, I think we need to take it a couple steps further and address the fundamental issues in the Technology & Education domain if we want substantial progress.
Understanding Why Netflix Changed Pricing
I (being optimistic) would like to believe most people want to be productive. So as long as you make it 'easy' to be productive, then the problem should be minimal.

You can always find fringe cases where people are undeserving and insulting to a particular system. But the system shouldn't be defined by the few.

For every one person you find, who is a lazy slob, I bet I can find three people who want to work, want to make something of it but just don't have the means to get out of the rut they are in. (presumptuous I know, and I can't really back this up, but I'd like to believe it is true).

Just a customer here.

I'm disappointed by the remarks in this thread that don't give the Netflix team credit for understanding their customer base. The CEO gives a credible rationale for the split: two different kinds of business. DVDs for the long tail, streaming for convenience.

Given their machine learning and rating expertise, I bet their analytics gave them a good understanding of just how different the two mediums are. I'll bet people's streaming preferences are rather different than their DVD preferences. Probably so much so that there's less predictive value across mediums than some people in this thread seem to expect.

The Major Purpose Of Web Directories
Web directories serve many purposes that can be very beneficial to a Web.Let's discuss the each purpose with easy example
Hilarious that you talk about "anti-business" rhetoric and then respond with gems like:

>as for "punishing the company", in reality you are only "punishing" those who buy from them since they will just increase the price to cover the expected cost of dealing with suits.

Well, I guess there's nothing we can ever do to a company then! Wouldn't want them to raise prices.
Because by splitting the accounts - they've removed pretty much the only piece of value that they provided over Hulu/Amazon/Redbox. There was one single place that I logged on to with my ratings, my recommendations, my queues for both streaming and DVDs.

Without that, their competitors are now almost pure drop-in replacements for their product. NetFlix had an advantage (to me) in that everything was unified. Now that they're split, that's gone - and they have to find some other way to be better than the other offerings to justify me keeping my subscription(s).
As I understand it, most of the deals between Netflix and the studios are revenue sharing deals. So the studios have a vested interest in increasing whatever metrics they are basing the revenue sharing on. They could see streaming availability as hurting the DVDs 'sales.' Though this would apply industry-wide anyways, so I don't know if this would really put the streaming side of things in a better negotiation position.
