Wow, with the "exclusive"s, that is extremely anticompetitive language; they are forbidding you from posting the same job ad (your own ad that you wrote!) on both Craigslist and a competing site. I hope it's not enforceable, but I'm still stunned they would try that. I'm curious, did you actually follow that rule and refrain from posting your ad anywhere else?
The same thing that happens now. Malicious user can recover/reset their password.

I'd assume that if you used the email to login and since the article talks about also using cookies with expiry dates in the future the codes in emails would be single use.
Well, let's look at the good side of it. At least it limits the risks of password reuse.
I have several of these games (SWS, PoP, Heroes MM VI) installed as well as UPlay but do not have any file associations for the type listed. Nor is "x-uplaypc" anywhere in the registry for the Windows shell.

I also have titles that use online login from Ubi such as ANNO 2070 installed.

I think the list of affected titles is far smaller than listed.

How and when is this associate set? Has someone identified which application in the installer performs it? Is it a particular UPlay version?

I don't doubt they are setting this up to allow them to run games from a browser. EA does it with Origin, Valve does it with Steam, as well as numerous other applications.

I don't doubt its existence but I think people are starting a wildfire without enough facts. I can't even seem to research this because it's not on my machine.
It could be related to risk and energy expenditure. Moving faster requires more energy, and the farther away your piece of cheese is, the more likely it is that something unexpected might happen to take it away/stop you before you get to it.

Add to this that there can always be more pieces of cheese to find, and always running from one to the next one could not be your best course of action.

I think the point is that if you do have a business or starting one, then don't take your eye off of that because you're feeling like you're not social enough or that you're missing out on things.

You can only do one thing at one time, right? So if starting/running a business is really truly important to you, then run that buisness. It doesn't make sense to start a business, raise money, hire others if what you really want to do is go to a club and hang out 'till 3 in the morning. It does have to be one or the other, or that business will fail.

Now, I'm not saying not to do the social stuff. Friends and relationships are very important. What I believe Larry is saying is to not take your eyes off the prize. You've started the business for a reason. You need to be focused on it and nurture it until it succeeds. If you really don't want to put in the time for that, there are other alternative like getting a regular job. Then you can work 8 hours a day, have friends, and party. That's fine.

To be successful as an entrepreneur, you've got to dig down deep and take care of your product. Its a lot of work. A ton of work. If it wasn't, everyone would be doing it. Instead, we have a few people trying to start/run businesses. And it can be Hell. But, if you don't want to deal with that extreme focus, that's fine too.

Think of the movie Cool Runnings. While the other Jamaicans were at the Ho Down Bar, Derice was sitting in the tub going over turns. Its that type of focus that will help in succeeding at business.

Read Charles Stross' Rule 34 for an insightful vision of what technology like this might be like for a policeman to live with daily.

Not sure how much I'd like a world in which everything that's said or done is recorded. Where you have to turn the thing off to explore ideas for fear of being taken out of context in court. And where you have to explicitly prefix any grey area conversation with "off the record" to enjoy (questionable) privacy protection...
Those two things are equivalent.
I love Code School, but why use Kickstarter for this? Why not just build the course and charge for it afterwards?

Well, no, we all know it doesn't work like that.

Code School is a great company, and this web course will definitely help bring iPhone development to many users, rather than only ones with Mac's and Xcode.

That being said, I feel... Conflicted about a company, whose goal is to make profit, using Kickstarter as a way to raise money to build the course. When I was supporting up-and-comers on Kickstarter, it felt like I was helping the little guy be on the same level of the big corporations. But with this, I become worried that when companies don't have enough money, or don't want to deal with the risk of product development, they will make a Kickstarter, which has no real requirement for disclosure of where the money goes, or on actually delivering a product, and build a profit making service on the backs of their customers up front in exchange for the possibility of a coupon off the course.
I think Azure is the sleeping giant that will allow MS to keep enterprise customers for decades to come. Heroku got traction because they made it dead simple for Rails developers to publish a web application. Azure has the potential to be the same kind of solution when linked with Visual Studio for the Microsoft stack.

Amazon, Rackspace, Google, etc. don't own the entire stack from run time to developer tools to cloud hosting and that gives Microsoft a unique advantage. No, Azure won't be the best cloud solution. No, it won't be the cheapest solution. What it will be is just enough goodness to be like crack to millions of Microsoft developers. It won't be worth their time to figure out how to get running in any other cloud provider when Visual Studio has a "Deploy to cloud" button available.

Microsoft will offer on-premise versions of Azure and some larger customers will adopt it but economies of scale will soon see 3rd party web hosting companies struggling for business. This is were the extra revenue for growth will come from. Microsoft will be making less on license sales and SPLA contracts in favor of locking in hosting revenue.

I used to be an occasional Ruby user and it was only after I started using it more often that I got the hang of things. I can give you a "pro tip", which is to never, ever use the Ruby provided by your distro, and to always use RVM. Getting RVM running on OS X and Ubuntu should be smooth sailing, and you'll find that installing gems just works after that.

The only caveat is that some gems require compilation of native C extensions, which if you don't regularly compile things on your machine may require you to install lots of extra stuff (especially on the Mac).
Skype is already using VP8. But I'd really hate it if Microsoft (or Apple) acted like assholes and tried to force h.264 or some other proprietary technology into yet another web protocol.

Push server requires constant connection with the client and the server pushes new information to clients without requiring the client to first ask for updates. Polling requires the client to ask for updates, but does not require constant connection. The connection with polling server is required only while the poll is happening.

Push server basically does not require much at all download bandwith, when polling requires bandwith for each update request. But push server requires open connection per active client, which might be in the millions at the same time. Pull server does not need active connections to be open all the time. Only when a request happens. For example web servers use pull method to service more clients with less cpu and memory usage because the connections are actually only open when http request/reply happens. Games and chats use push method to move information to the server and to push information given by another client to other clients. But for the server to push data to clients the server at least needs to have the ip address of the client with udp or open socket with tcp.

They addressed these concerns in several ways - firstly, yes there is microscopy on corresponding sections demonstrating that fiber-crossings were resolved correctly. Second, DSI imaging was performed on mouse hearts, as myocardium exhibits a strong directional organization but without the crossings shown in brain (negative control).

> Tesco are fundamentally in the business of selling meat and potatoes to everyone in the UK

That is changing - it is getting to the point where their business angle is more "renting shelf space to brands" as much as selling what we want to buy (that is a general industry thing, not a Tesco specific comment).

Even ignoring that cynicism, their business is far more than food and I suspect the food sales are dwarfed when you add everything else together. Food is just the product that gets us through the door to see the other stuff: meat, veg, bread and milk are the things that the rest of the occupants of large shopping centres tend to lack.

> not [in the business] of making highly-secure websites.

On the contrary: they are taking in and storing personal details and in some cases banking details (they sell banking services as well as physical products), and getting access to your account may give someone the ability to buy things on your credit card. It is my understanding that both by law and by the agreements they have in place with their chose credit card processing partners they are required to live up to certain security expectations, and if they do not live up to those expectations they should be investigated, fined, and stopped from trading in those ways until they are up to scratch.

The claim that their password storage is "up to industry standards" is both unduly vague (though as the conversation was by tweet the length limitation there may be partly to blame for that) and simply wrong. They are not compliant with PCIDSS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payment_Card_Industry_Data_Secu...) which I believe is considered the industry standard for handling credit card data or accounts that are associated with it.

Yes, but in the end, he's saying that he'd rather remove 5 years of his life from his resume than have his name on the monstrosity that that committee will be releasing.

So back to the parent's post, why wouldn't you be wary of something that came from that situation if one of the primary creators doesn't even want his name involved with it?
That is why I stopped buying DRM enabled games.

She asked him when they were at dinner if the rumours were true that his company could manipulate people's minds, since he works for the company, but he said no that was crazy.

In the last scene he was outed as a gamer who was collecting badges by going on dates and treating them as part of a game just to level-up and collect badges.

When she, his date, jumps up in disgust you see him access her account/brain and hack her brain then says "Let's try this again" ... it was true!
Quit is great advice.

Don't try and solve this, its his problem, not yours. And unless you want blood in the water (or a severance check) don't try and coach him on this.

I'm guessing that the CEO is younger and lacks the experience and seasoning that will give him the self-awareness and self-confidence that he'd need to delegate appropriately. Its quite common and there's absolutely nothing that you can do to change it. After a few people leave, someone close to him (perhaps a board member, advisor or someone in HR) will mention to him that the turnover is related to his poor management practice and he'll hopefully take that to heart, get some coaching and come out the other side with some better habits. In the meantime, you can be leading a happy, productive career elsewhere.
