As someone who used to work over there (Pornhub, Youporn, ...), it is not a question of legacy.

If you use PHP the way it's meant to be used, you are not gonna have any surprise, and it'll run faster than the alternatives (or close too), for lower development time, as well as easiness in finding developers.

Also, the article is a bit off on some points, a website like Pornhub (100Million+ pageviews/day), is on the most standard stack you could imagine: PHP, Apache, MySQL, Memcached/Redis. Varnish get mentioned a lot, but when I was working there (not so long ago), it was not in use, and as far as I know Youporn might be the only one relying on it right now.

If you know what you are doing with PHP, you will have no surprise, no performance issue, and maintenance will be trivial. But sadly I have to admit few PHP developers actually use PHP the way it should be.
And those are not viruses unless they self-replicate.

TV: Millions more cord-cutters by 2013
Yep! I completely agree. Making good choices is an (often) necessary but not sufficient condition for success. The rules of the universe are fuzzy and inexact!

But if you spend a lot of time arguing that fate/bias determines a person's life, you are going to be less likely to invest the effort in making those good choices. Optimism and pessimism can infect a culture or an age. Lots more things are possible in ages of cultural optimism, it's self-reinforcing! We're definitely entering an age of pessimism.

I wouldn't be surprised if an impromptu communication protocol (based on assigning meanings to things other ships can observe you doing) sprung up pretty quickly to allow networking. At the point that ships can communicate, it's bound to come down to needing to do it with securely-written code, or risk ship-to-ship malware.

Should be really fun to see where this goes.

Heh, that's interesting, but I think the simpler vector will be the more common one - Think like a griefer, if you will.

There are security companies that buy these kind of information from you (like antivirus companies), so that they can patch the breaches themselves and proudly announce they discovered a breach and only by using their software you can be protected.

I don't know how legal it is, and I understand that the breach finder wants to publish his findings himself (for "reputations points" maybe ?), and he might lose this right by selling an info, but at least he's getting something out of this. IANAL, but i'm pretty sure you could get in trouble for publicly posting information on how to hack a public service (or pretty much anything for that matter)

What will be the effect of knowing people's name only through your augmentation? Of a small number of people you see very often you'll learn their names (and you would have also without augmentation). But what about the large number of people in between acquaintance/friend and "have seen before"? Will we try less to get to know people as we have all the information about them we need for our purposes via augmentation? Don't we care less about people unless we see them very often? Will people become symbols of their information in our database only to activate the augmentation to recall that information?

I probably am too pessimistic (I call that realistic :-), but in the end, I wonder, do we control where our future is going with technology like this or do we wake up someday to a world we don't fit in anymore?

Do CEOs really ask outsiders for ideas on how to run/turn around a company?

CEOs can't be experts at everything and often don't have the time necessary to research everything they need to research. So as such it's quite reasonable to get people to help them out, especially when you are a new CEO and have to get up to speed really quickly. Getting people from outside the company rather than inside the company minimizes the chance of the information the CEO gets being biased by deep rooted corporate culture or by sycophants or back-stabbers looking out for their own best interest.

I'm starting to think you have an IE axe to grind. But anyway:

It's not about me insiting on using IE. It's about a web site that excludes almost one third of the Internet population (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers).

Re-read what I wrote in the previous post. Also note my point that being free will not make me use a product. Chrome is spyware. Firefox offers nothing I need and don't already have. Safari means I have to switch hardware and software.

Oh, and IE9 mainstream support only ends in 2015 (http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifeselectindex). How's that an outdated browser? Unless your only measure of "current" is HTML5. In which case 99% of the Internet is outdated, no?

If only the company is put in danger and they stubbornly refuse to resolve the issue, I'm not exactly sure why anyone would work so hard to convince a company to do this. The job of reporting the issue is done, a corporate decision has been made. If that decision is to remain vulnerable, as long as it does not affect users directly, why bother?

Unless, as others suggested, you can legally make a profit out of it, then by all means! Otherwise, just let it go...

Abstract of the underlying study as published in Science:

http://www.sciencemag.org/content/335/6076/1634.abstract

I learned about this study from the Behavior Genetics Association.
Danemark is a very pro-entrepreneur country. If you want to setup a business, it is very easy, you can tax deduct nearly everything and you will have all the benefits of a very well run country. I have been working for both funded and bootstrapped startups in Denmark and Denmark is definitely one of the most business friendly country in Europe.

You must put the law in the context of the country, here it simply says: "you can setup a company here, you will enjoy everything from Denmark you love, but do not expect to make it big, sale and not pay back your due". They want people starting businesses and then staying there. Just that.

Take a look at what you get in the "all inclusive" package when living in Denmark: free education (in fact you are paid to go to the university), very good health care system, low violence, relaxed life, well run infrastructure you can trust, etc...

No, you would announce the product 6 months before launching it and you would show it. Otherwise, it means that you don't have a prototype good enough to demo --> waporware. It might exist in the future but today it doesn't exists.

This is why the original iPhone launch was such a great event. They showed the damn working thing, no videos like Nokia used to do at the time (iirc about bendable phones that could produce scents?!?!).
The immediate design of the game itself ensures that there is griefing - Even if the game didn't have weapons which could be fired on other people.

Take average griefer X - has nothing better to do, he goes around finding 'care bear' miners - your typical farmer, running macro script 1.

He now proceeds to bump your craft constantly using a macro into the sun.

Farmer ship blows up - and since this must have progression paths - an expensive leveled up ship goes bust, while the griefer goes of laughing all the way back to 4chan or SA.
I work for a big corporation and work from home roughly 4 days a week. I go into the office for that other day just so I have some human interaction (And to make sure the people who sign off on my invoices know I am still around!)

I generally work normal business hours and I am definitely much more productive at home than in the office. A lot of my work involves writing documentation or complex scripts, the types of things where you need to "get in the zone" and all of a sudden you realize 5 hours have passed and you've forgotten to eat. In the office it's hard to focus like that as everyone around you is talking about football scores, people are on conference calls with the speakerphone on etc.

I don't think it works for all types of roles, but for me it doesn't really matter where I am. I work on servers remotely, I dial into conference calls and communication between team mates happens over IM/Email.

I have worked for employers in the past where they had the attitude of "If you're not in the office, you're not working". I think that is a very poor attitude, especially when you are dealing with IT workers who are expected to be on call.

I like working from home 1 or 2 days a week. I can take the dog for a walk over lunch, I don't have the commute (1 hour each way) and I have a much more comfortable working setup at home than in the company office. That I can't be interrupted is great, I'm not uncontactable as I'm on IRC but I choose when that happens rather than someone else deciding when.

More than that and I see diminishing returns, it's harder to bring structure to the working day and the communication thing is much too skewed in my favour.

High-Availability Replicated Storage With GlusterFS 3.2.x On Ubuntu 11.10
There are two possible ways to interpret this:

1. "A Mac is susceptible to viruses. But it is not susceptible to viruses plaguing Windows-based computers."

2. "A Mac isn’t susceptible to viruses, whereas a Windows-based computer is susceptible to thousands of viruses."

The fact that you still get viruses, but they just don't happen to be the same viruses, isn't worth stating. So as a customer, it is very unlikely that I would infer the former (Meaning 1) from the statement. Yet it is what is meant.

I would personally call this misleading (and dangerously close to lying).

To the best of my knowledge, the O2 HQ in the UK is not in London, it's west of Heathrow airport in Slough.

Most people will either commute via car, or train. As someone who works from home ~3 days a week, and 20% at customer sites, a season ticket is a waste of money - even if you work from home 1 day a week, take out holidays, the season ticket is starting to save you a lot less.

I save £7/$11 a day on transport alone by not going into the office, not to mention the more valuable commute time savings. Food, I spend about the same or slightly less at home, as in the office we've got partially subsidised canteen.

Edit: I forgot to add, I'm putting about half that saving aside to improve my home office environment. The first savings went on a new printer/scanner, the next will soon be a nice high res. second display & maybe stereo bluetooth headphones.

If you contacted them non-anonymously first, you made a mistake, because they can and will sue you if you disclose it. Judges don't understand computers and US courts are all about draining money from someone, so they still might ruin you out of spite even if you disclose it in a way that there's no proof it was you or if someone else who discovered and released it on his own.

The correct way would be: 1) discover a vulnerability 2) contact them anonymously 3) if they don't fix it, anonymuosly release it to general public

That way, you can still help them while protecting yourself. The third step is optional of course.

I tend to think of videos like these as creations that are maybe technically possible today, but not in a package that's affordable, and compact enough for general sale.

Those are good point. But they're almost besides the point. This tax system might be fair. The complaints aren't really about that. They are about the consequences.

- The tax in question targets an additional 25% on any shareholder with less than 10% ownership of a company. This brings the marginal tax rate up to 67% for an entrepreneur exiting a company

- Early stage investors who were willing to invest in less than 10% of a company have taken their money elsewhere

- DVCA report found that 62 % of angel investors have declined to invest, and more than a third of Danish IT companies reported they have already been affected by the Entrepreneur Tax.

- this tax also makes it impossible for growth companies to accept additional funding -- even if it is offered. The structure of the Entrepreneur Tax makes individuals personally liable to pay capital gains tax from the increased valuation

- "It wasn't as much a matter of moving our activities out of Denmark as it was it was a matter of not placing them there in the first place." says Michael Schmidt, Co-founder of Exit Strategy Entertainment

- "'we would really like to stay as independent as possible. Part of being independent is that we would preferably not pull in any large investors but are rather looking at the angels who in general are targeting a sub-10% share"

Fair or not, you don't want these effects.
First, Cheetah wasn't the first Mac OS X. There was Mac OS X Server 1.0 in 1999 (see: Wikipedia). Cheetah was the first desktop-oriented version of Mac OS X.

Second, I didn't imply that prior versions Mac OS X didn't have kernel protection, I implied that prior versions of Mac OS didn't have kernel protection. This is indisputably true (see: Mac OS 9). Personally, I find Windows / Mac OS parallel surprisingly close here: Windows ME is to Windows XP as Mac OS 9 is to Mac OS X Cheetah.

Third, UAC (User Account Control), the access control introduced with Windows Vista, is almost entirely unrelated to kernel protection (except that UAC would probably be pointless without it). The problem UAC tries to solve is "users running as an administrator too often", not "the kernel isn't protected from user programs". In other words, it is Windows' answer to sudo, not a fundamental change to the Windows kernel.
