Netflix's "HD" streaming content looks great. I don't know if it's "real" HD or not, but it's better quality than their non-HD stuff.
When I worked at Boeing, the engineering union had negotiated that employees were to be paid overtime. I don't know if this only applied in Seattle (Washington is a union state, unlike most others where Boeing has employees) or not.
More than $215,000 stolen from Bitcoinica in Linode incident
I disagree. I think the best thing for them to do is to let the Bitcoin user eat the loss.

Whenever you're in this sort of shared environment, be it Linode or EC2 or anything else, you open yourself up to risks, and it's your responsibility to address them. Bitcoin is adopted only by fairly sophisticated geeks, who really should know better.

If Linode uses my monthly fees to reimburse this fellow, I'll snap-cancel my account, because that's not what I pay for. I want them to spend on staff and equipment, not reimbursing some incompetent speculators who suffered bad results because of their lousy judgment.
By comparing names, I was just showing that because it has "Federal" in its name doesn't mean its a part of the US Government like most people think.

"And if there's a cut off, maybe linode should advertise that? "Hey, we're cheap, but you get what you pay for!" rather than "You're getting ripped off if you go with amazon over linode!""

Well of course that's never going to happen and the truth is the contracts of the more expensive provider no doubt also limit liability. (And all of this is in the TOS/contract etc). So what we are really talking about is who will do a better job protecting what you have AND more importantly who has more to loose if they screw up. (Small linode has more to loose but they also don't have deep pockets to pay. Amazon has deep pockets but access to magnitudes greater legal help to prevent having to pay.)

Here's my Side Project Queue. What's in yours?
So VCs bidding up the prices on everything every startup needs (founders, early employees, later stage employees, offices, etc.) is good for bootstrapped companies how, exactly?

The only way VC funding helps bootstrapped companies is if the bootstrapped companies are selling to VC funded startups (developer tools, for instance), or if the VC funded companies build infrastructure (great platforms, network infrastructure, etc.) which helps the bootstrapped companies serve other customers in a capital efficient way. Otherwise, it's just more competition, either for factors of production or customers, and not really a good thing.

There are some industry segments where being bootstrapped makes a lot of sense (consultancies), others where it makes no sense (huge fiber rollouts), and some where both strategies can coexist.

Also, you should be aware of the differences between fully bootstrapped, angel or seed funded (directly to profitability, but with "real" investors), and traditional VC funded. There are a lot of cases where people talk about bootstrapping but really mean using angel or seed funding until deciding later about VC funding for the business.
Yeah, I can't really remember the last time I watched a Starz movie on Netflix. It's been nothing but TV series for me for at least a year now. Occasionally I'll watch a movie that shows up in new releases, but they've been signing a ton of premium shows lately, far more than I can watch.

I think it's a perfectly viable strategy for them to focus on series - more content per deal and a perfect match for a long-tail streaming strategy.
What to Look for in a Colocation Provider
Greg Fliearman, Customer Service Manager at VISI, provides insights into what you should look for when shopping for colocation services.
They're roughly the same price (a little more sans contract, but not too much), but also a much smaller screen (7.7 instead of 9.7). So you pay a bit more, and get less.
It doesn't appear to be based on where you click on the page. It's whether you click on a post/listing. Without looking at the code, it probably performs a jquery scrollTo on click of any listing.
Does leadership matter?
I'm surprised that a tool with this level of access isn't walled off behind a VPN.
I really hope the various bitcoin related incidents don't poison the well for online currencies in general. Yes, you need a greater level of security when dealing with transferrable, relatively anonymous or pseudonymous (and rapidly extractable) online assets that you don't need for book-entry accounting with an audit trail and reversible transactions (credit cards, ACH, etc.). Yes, this is beyond what even most banks currently use. No, it's not beyond current technological state of the art.

Gaming (i.e. casinos), at least some of them, do a reasonable job with some very similar security problems.
Brilliant, oh stickers :)
Thanks for the reply rprasad.
Perhaps people affected by the many Bitcoin Exchange password leaks were reusing their passwords on Linode?
I like this concept.
Simply not going to happen at any reasonable rate.

There's a saying in many businesses with different variations:

"Price, quality, speed" pick any two.

So this would be:

"Price, security, bandwidth" pick any two.

People pick on price and bandwidth security is taken for granted to be commercially acceptable. The colo can easily figure out price and bandwidth they are clearly defined. Losses from a security breach not as easy - to many variables. Same reason insurance companies love to write life insurance but hate to write disability insurance. Life insurance is absolute (you know when someone is dead and tables exist to compute probabilities on when they will die). Disability is open to interpretation, fraud and other things. It's not black and white.

I run a web app. I built an administrative interface for managing it. This interface includes the ability to log me in to any individual user's account (by appropriately initializing a session with that user's ID, the same as logging in normally would do), and to reset any individual user's password. This interface does not let me view any user's passwords; it's both technically impossible, as I don't store them in plain text or encrypted form, and unnecessary.

Unless you believe they're lying, then Linode has the same thing. Some interface where they can access their users' Linode Manager accounts, but that interface does not show Linode Manager passwords or credit card information.

There is a lot more to life than money. And that lot more can be done, more fun can be had if there is more money.

Imagine a situation where you have steady source of Income for life. There are better, interesting, challenging and more fun things to do than sitting in a cubicle for 16 hours and slogging till your bones hurt.

However you can be happy with you misery. That makes you happy, but still that does mean you live in misery.Earning little, making sacrifices and then being happy about it doesn't quite actually mean you are happy, rich and comfortable.

It just means you have come to negotiation with your self that you are ok with that.

Linode plans (like those of other hosting/vps providers) are differentiated on storage/memory/bandwidth. Security isn't a factor.

- Heck, freedom!

Then they'd better make it viable really quick because that seems to be about the price point that the market has decided on.

I also don't see why it wouldn't be viable as long as you distribute it to the content that's actually being watched.

"Best thing to do would be for Linode to generously reimburse these people"

Creates a precedent and greater future liability.
No, I think you're missing the point.

I took a pay cut a few years ago to take my current job. What I got in return for that cut was way less stress, a more fulfilling work life, more quality time at home, etc. When people say "There's more to life than money" they are talking about things you literally can't buy.
Certainly wasn't me; users don't even have the ability to downvote replies to their own comments. I do find it surprising that someone would systematically downvote everything you said (and AFAICT systematically upvote everything I said in the process). I certainly don't think your comments need to disappear; mostly I'd say "I resemble that remark". :) I've upvoted them to compensate.
Totally untrue.

I used to manage a team within the Visual Studio team, and we regularly had people come in looking at a 2x-4x pay cut (because they were going from "CTO" or "Chief Architect" titles to "Software Development Engineer" positions). I never had any experienced developers fail to accept a position based on the lower salaries I could offer at MSFT vs. what they were making in other fields or higher organizational positions. Further, I made it clear at the time they were applying that we couldn't come close to their current salaries, and while it's been a long time, I can't remember anyone turned off by that.

Many people, particularly those at the top of their field, seem to be motivated by the opportunity to work on hard problems with people smarter than they are, so long as the pay is sufficient to maintain their family's lifestyle.
What’s changed for Win8 app developers since //build/
An interesting point is that for receiving coins and for long-term storage, bitcoin wallets do not need to be online, and in fact do not need to ever have touched a machine that has been online. While slush "just" lost his "hot wallet", another user lost 200k. When will it become common best practice to store high-value accounts entirely off computers? You can print out a bitcoin wallet and put it in a safe deposit box for storage, and still add money to it.
Important correction: Netflix's HD tops out at 5 Mb/s, not 5 MB/s.

You are right, my bad on that. Still this looks like a Public relations post by them than giving out facts. They should be explaining what the attacker could do by gaining access on that interface, the ability of the attacker to change the password has the same consequences.

The point is that exploited interface had a backdoor access to the virtual machines (to be able to change passwords or w/e)

State of Data This Week - #88
tl;dr summary: The original article mostly applies to the subset of products/services that can be sold online. Many successful companies choose to sell using different rules for good commercial reasons.

I said:
>>We do all of his wrongs, but we don't sell to small companies.

I should have said "some" not "all", however you have chosen three examples of things that we do indeed do "wrong"...

Background: we are a 6 person company with 100 clients selling to entities with 10's of employees to 1000's of employees i.e. we don't sell to large entities. We mostly charge per user per annum (plus initial setup costs of up to one years fees - cashflow needed for longer sales cycles). The company was bootstrapped, and is profitable (in the real sense of the word - not ramen profitable).

> Don’t hide your pricing behind a sales process

Our clients have a budget, and that budget varies by an order of magnitude. I think this is normal for larger entities. e.g. a government department may pay 10 times more than a company with tight margins, like a retail client. We removed pricing so that we could vary our prices according to the client. Variable costs are mostly covered by our initial setup fees, so increase in price goes straight to bottom line. Not signalling pricing was a good move.

> Don’t make me read a whitepaper in order to get essential information about your product. Put it on your website. In HTML.

We have some information on the web site, and some in PDF's. Due to variation in the client base we are careful how we disseminate much information E.g. don't advertise a feature that is confusing to some clients, or a feature that is too expensive to configure for a cheap/small client.

> Don’t make it hard for me to talk to a technical person at your company about the nitty gritty details of how your product works.

Probably doesn't apply since our sales people are technically competent. Most customers are not technical people, so shouldn't be interrupting developers. When judged appropriate, customers do have access to any of our staff.

---

Perhaps another useful way to think of it is that many of his rules apply when your target market is more than say 10000 clients? Or maybe they apply in a highly competitive market?

Re Joel's article: Maybe it is a false dichotomy between small and large sales (although as a very broad approximation it may be a useful idea). I believe there are a huge number of SME/medium sized companies with a variety of sales processes where cost of sale is somewhere between $0 to $50k i.e. the stated $50k minimum hurdle doesn't exist. Sales in that range may be your sweet spot, depending upon what you are selling.

I don't see what's so conceptually new about bitcoin wallets. They're just plain text that you don't want people getting access to. It's no different than storing passwords in plain text: if someone copies them, they're completely compromised (until the user changes them). The solution is pretty simple: encrypt your own bitcoins with your own password (or more ideally, your private key). Then, if someone hacks your server, they don't get anything.
