The problem is that you're forced to speculate. Your interpretation sounds pretty reasonable to me, but I don't know any more about it than you do. I'd rather have an unambiguous explanation.
I think it's important to note that management is a human creation - it is more like a television set - than an element of nature, like a tree. We could live without television sets. Trees, we need to breathe.

If I visit again tomorrow, the browser-cached version of that header will be updated with a new expiration date, and expire a month from tomorrow, not now.

If you don't want to pay a premium for a wildcard certificate, you could just get another certificate for the static subdomain. You can get an unlimited number of free, single subdomain certificates from StartSSL.
Wildcard certs tend to be very expensive. If you only need two domains it's probably more cost-effective to just buy two certs.

Edit: a downside of using separate certs is that you'll need to serve the respective sites from separate IP addresses, or rely on SNI [1] which isn't supported in older browsers. But if the use case is a separate domain for serving static files, that's probably hosted on a different server/IP address anyways, right?

Exactly but there is so much more to Twitter that a directory would bring to light. Twitter brings people closer to brands and other people.

about:memory is primarily intended as a debugging tool, so we can diagnose and fix memory problems. It has been a fantastic success in this regard.

It also gives add-on authors and web application developers a chance to do the same.

If some (advanced/heavy) users are also able to use about:memory to diagnose and work around problems they encounter, that's a nice side effect. As long as some of those users remember to file bug reports, that is :)

The healthcare changes are most upsetting to myself and my wife, especially since we always looked at healthcare as an amazing benefit and competitive advantage to Microsoft. For anyone who doesn't know, there is currently a healthcare plan available that basically covers everything, all the time, with no out-of-pocket costs ever. No copays, no prescription costs, nothing. Of course there are limits, but for many typically cases, like myself, I never pay anything. This plan is going away in 2013 and being replaced by a more typically, less comprehensive option.

I do this too, not for risky migrations, but for daily updates. The app relies on a data service that's normally read-only, but gets fresh data daily. When everything was running on the bare metal, we had to schedule the updates for the middle of the night and carefully migrate the data in-place to avoid interrupting service. It would take 8 to 12 hours.

Since we moved to EC2, updating is simpler. The service runs on a micro instance. We launch a large instance to do all the CPU- and IO-intensive processing that prepares the new dataset, then launch a new micro instance, upload the dataset, run a few smoke tests, and if all is well, cut over to it. Because we're doing it off line, we were able to optimize the data processing for speed rather than low resource usage, and cut the runtime down to 45 minutes.

One thing that's often missed in discussions of IaaS versus bare metal is that the elasticity of a particular application can be affected by its design. When we were running on dedicated machines, we smoothed out the load to avoid idle hardware, but after moving to EC2 we concentrated it into spikes to get maximum productivity from running instances. In our case, spiky load is better from a business point of view, because serving data that's 1-25 hours old is better than data that's 8-32 hours old.
Please tell me that you were including the cost of you driving to the datacenter at 4AM to swap a drive in the cost of the hardware in your price comparisons, as if you are just talking about the cost of the raw hardware and are not including the opportunity cost of all this time and energy spent haggling and performing maintenance, then this is simply a dishonest comparison: you could easily have been spending that time doing just about anything else, from working on new features for your product to improving your sales/investment pitch to simply sleeping (which will improve the quality of all of your work the next day). I'm also curious what your replacement plan is: are you intending to do this again next year, or are you intending to wait until all of your hardware starts failing and the operational overhead starts becoming painful? Finally, "having everyone responsible for ops" might mean that you didn't have to add a new explicit hire, but you can't claim that that isn't overhead: that is now state that everyone has to keep in their head and is a liability that could cause anyone to randomly get interrupted; it might even be cheaper in the long term to hire a new, more dedicated person than to reuse existing people.
You can get some of the data from the 1000 genomes project directly from Amazon, so you don't need to pay to download it. There's about 200TB of data there (so far).

http://aws.amazon.com/1000genomes/

What I'm working on is mapping those short sequences (50-75 bases) to the genome and then either looking for mutations or expression levels (how many of those reads map to a particular location). There are a couple of ways to do the mapping, but most these days use either a big hash table or a Burrow Wheeler transform.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burrows%E2%80%93Wheeler_transfo...

And that's all just to get the data that you can then do something else with (gene expression, variation modeling, etc...).
Sure, you can find that stuff online, but you really need to do your homework. Should you incorporate in your home state or in Delaware? You assume S-Corp, are you sure C-Corp or LLC isn't a better fit for your situation? Are there local tax benefits you can take advantage of? The answers depend based on the nature of your startup, your future plans, your location, etc. There are also a couple of gotchas where if you screw them up at the start it could cost you a lot later and is not easy to fix (google "83B Election" for an example)

In my experience, getting a lawyer who knows startups wasn't that expensive, and having someone sit down and explain every provision of the agreements was totally worth it. I learned a lot. And then when we actually needed a lawyer a few months later, we already had a relationship with someone who knew our business.

"Productivity at Microsoft has skidded to a brief halt thanks to the Vanity Fair article, which employees are reading on tablets and Nooks and Kindles because no one dares bring in the actual magazine."

Seriously? When was the last time you've seen anyone with a physical Vanity Fair magazine? To the extent that this claim is true -- and I have to say that no one in my circle of friends at the company seems to care about this article -- it's because surprise tech people largely consume text through electronic devices.
But a low false negative rate is equally unimpressive unless it is combined with a low false positive rate. If I modify my program to always say "You have pancreatic cancer", then it would have a 0% false negative rate, but it would still be a worthless test because it would have a 99.99% false positive rate. Simply knowing the false negative rate is not particularly helpful.
The chrome extension at least seems to break a lot of sites. They're not kidding when they say it's alpha.

Pages include resources from https-everywhere'd domains and for whatever reason (mostly that the ssl versions of those resource urls aren't serving the same resources, or have broken certs) those resources fail to load. Within an hour of using it I'd seen it break 3 or 4 sites, so it got disabled.

You can manually disable it for individual sites, if you recognize that it's the problem, but if some minor resource fails to load it might not be obvious.

It's hilarious to see the exact opposite happen: an 80 person company with a multi-page visio org chart, six departments, seven VPs, five pages of expense report rules and regulations, meetings scheduled to plan when to schedule other meetings, and nobody listens to the people who know what to do next because the visionary VC-installed-CEO is Touched By God and can't be questioned even as the company nose dives into obsolescence.
Well, the ole "X% of programmers are rocker stars" position gets a lot of play here (alone with the Steve Jobs quote etc).

I would say that unless a company of some size has the luxury of choosing absolutely who they want from the start, the "rock star" ideology is going to be as corrosive as it sounds like it is at MS.

Those might be vulnerable to anti-spam agencies actually hacking the control protocol. Or maybe it's just harder and the spammers don't want to spend as much time designing it.

There are alternate shells available (and were in the past as well, like GEM) and it seems that Microsoft's Windows domination with its default shell is both demonstrable and a direct result of their bundling the shell with the "OS" (there was a time the two were separate, back in Windows 3.1 and earlier days). Heck, when they bundled a TCP/IP stack in Windows 95 it pretty much spelled the end for Trumpet Winsock.

I've used it on a few projects. I have never used NHibernate, so I can't really compare them, but I really like EF.

I had the same question after trying to use Backbone on a couple different small projects and giving up after seeing it introduce more complexity that I saw it removing.

Recently, I discovered Knockout.js, which is a "competitor" to Backbone with what I think is a clearer interface and a much clearer value proposition. I've had a lot of success with Knockout and fully expect that, like Sinatra did to me with Rails, Knockout will teach me to appreciate Backbone soonish. In the meantime, here's the knockout pitch:

What Knockout does is allow you to keep separate models (which are plain-old Javascript objects; Knockout doesn't need to infect them or enforce any kind of structure to them at all) and DOM UI. Knockout's job is to keep the two in sync. For instance, if you have an array of Foo's rendered in a table, Knockout allows you to bind a "foreach" to the table's body, effectively turning a single TR into a template for each Foo. Then, if the elements of the Foo array change dynamically, Knockout makes the table reliably reflect the constitution of the array.

The core value here isn't "templating". It's "keeping the DOM in sync with Javascript objects".

Off the top of my head, I think we're talking about 3 lines of code to get that functionality: the data-bind attribute on the TBODY element, the ko.observableArray() that wraps your otherwise plain array of Foos, and the ko.applyBindings(RootModel, RootDomElement) call that kicks off Knockout.

The same functionality would probably cost 10-20 lines of jQuery; more importantly, that jQ code would be fiddley, not at all declarative, and duplicated every place you wanted to bind an array to some repeating DOM structure. Knockout is here, to my eyes, a clean win.

Or take forms: you bind (with data attributes) INPUT elements to Javascript objects, so that what their values are changed by user input, the Javascript objects automatically reflect their new values. The JS code that then cares about the value of these objects doesn't ever need to scrape out the values of forms, and can reliably assume whatever's in the fields or hashes or whatever you set up is going to be current input. Also: you can bind multiple form inputs to the same data and keep them in sync, which I found to be a pleasant way to implement an "Advanced Search" feature.

What I didn't like about Backbone was the notion it had of "Models" and "Routers" and stuff like that. I'm sure that's valuable structure to have, but I like the flexibility --- and, more importantly, the freedom for More Stuff I Have To Memorize --- that comes with the KO.js approach.

"get you what you need", really means navigate the bureaucratic wasteland

"act as an umbrella", really means protect you from other managers

"look out for your interests". That one is interesting, who looks out for your interests better than yourself?

"stay focused". Same as looking out for your own interests. If you are your own manager, you will know what actually needs to be worked on.

Removing management/bureaucracy isn't simple, but it is pretty depressing how much of it is for it's own sake.

One of the other factors is your niche, and the amount of ads targeting your niche.
