To be fair, I think this is slightly different. Customers paid for a service with high uptime, and they didn't get what they paid for. That downtime likely resulted in losses (both monetary, and in terms of reputation) for many of those customers. Sure, Go Daddy don't need to provide anything free, but it probably makes good business sense as a gesture of goodwill.

(Go Daddy are providing a 30% discount on domains to existing customers, but this doesn't sit right with me. The title of a ZDNet piece nails it: "GoDaddy says sorry, now go buy something").
I didn't say that (good) product developers should employ bad practice in order to get something out the door.

I meant that product developers know when something is good enough (or "will do for now") whilst IMO software developers want to iterate and iterate to a perfect, elegant solution.

Don't get me wrong, the latter may be the correct choice to take but only when its for a feature that people are actually using.

From a business perspective, a software developer who is sitting on functionality thats "not quite right yet" is the cowboy programmer. But I guess thats just perspectives for ya :-)

I'm jealous that google can so easily drop support for old IE.

Meanwhile I had to go on-site to troubleshoot an issue in a pre-sp2 IE6 environment just last week. They didn't install security updates because "they break some of our in-house apps". For security reasons the system was isolated from the internet, hence the on-site debugging. The bug they had was fixed in sp2, which is why it didn't appear in our test environment. They did have an upgrade planned ... to IE8. So, yes, jealous is the sentiment for me.

On the other hand, I've not come across anything that's in modern browsers that I couldn't get to work on IE6, with appropriate (sometimes flash-based) fallbacks. It just requires more work.

That's an ideal world scenario. In an ideal world there wouldn't have been a earthquake stronger than suspected possible. In an ideal world there wouldn't be incompetent people running nuclear power plants. We have no reason to believe that we can economicly transmute nuclear waste, let alone by using fission.

When you use a technology like nuclear that has such a big risk, thinking about the worst case you can imagine even isn't enough.

He presented at the recent SydStart event/convention here in Sydney. The crowd was largely skeptical of him and his patents, and he had to cajole the audience into agreeing with him that one of his "inventions" was actually patentable.

I find it sad that a man like this is invented to speak to 900 entrepreneurs and actually given some credence. He seems like a smart guy, but patents aren't a friend of the startup community.

If you want to contact @pc0 who organised the latest SydStart event and register your displeasure at Ric being one of the main speakers at this largely awesome event that might be interesting.
Sorry, but you're wrong about the safety of renewables. The statistic you're looking for is called deaths per terawatt-hour. Nuclear wins by an order of magnitude: http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/03/lowering-deaths-per-terawat...

For the same amount of energy, renewables kill more people than nuclear. People fall off their roofs installing solar panels. Hydroelectric dams burst. Even windmills kill people.

For the next few decades, fossil fuels are the only alternative to nuclear power. Wind and solar aren't baseload sources. Hydro is, but we've already put dams in most of the economically and environmentally feasible locations.

Or it could mean Magnus Carlsen was excepcionally endowed with the traits that make great chess players, as Phelps is to swimming. And his 29 year old self, given the same discipline he must have applied pre-19, would be a much better chess player than himself 10 years back.

I don't understand why people, including the author, are completely disregarding experience here. I agree with the author's points that a young person, even a teen, could bring a lot to the table and has his own qualities, one of which is not great experience. But that doesn't disqualify him for any job, given a hunger to learn and a passion for his work. But to suggest that "the only difference is in music taste"--well, if you measure any one young person against any one older one, you could get that result, but I'd be hard pressed to expect the same when comparing you with yourself 10 years down.

You have to figure out if its even worth your time dealing with the dramas clients like this bring to the table.

More often than not, it's not worth taking on clients like this, especially if you keep accumulating clients like this and end up having to deal with multiple people who behave like this.

My suggestion is to gently let them go as a client (unless you have a really good reason not to) and focus on working with clients who aren't going to be a pain every step of the way.

Frankly, my computer has not had a virus in years. It has been on the web, it has downloaded stuff from dubious websites, it has installed stuff. But no viruses.

That is not to say that there is no malware any more, but the infection vectors have changed. More often than not, malware will be explicitly installed by the user. More broadly, it will trick the user into doing something that is not in his best interest.

In other words: In the current age, malware is targeting users, not computers. Now we have to install virus scanners, by educating ourselves about how to spot viruses. This is a very different game from a few years ago!

If an earthquake causes a bridge to collapse, killing people, do we blame the bridge or the earthquake? If an earthquake causes a dam to fail (which happened due to the Tohoku quake), killing people, do we blame the dam or the earthquake? If an earthquake causes a tall building to topple, should we build shorter buildings?

The Fukushima reactors were the most dangerous design currently still in operation in G-7 countries, and handling of the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami was one of the most disorganized and most mismanaged in history. And yet for all of that the nuclear disaster still resulted in far fewer deaths than occurred in coal mining in that year.

Scaremongering...
I sure hope so but i'm not entirely convinced that this effort wasn't at least partially driven by developers without all the facts behind the business side of the equation (which seems to have been overlooked or ignored for whatever reason, unless their IE8 usage statistics are much lower than elsewhere), I doubt it, IE8 is still important enough to worry about for most things, especially when your selling productivity related tools to businesses who are less likely to have upgraded beyond IE8 (statistically speaking).

I like the idea of putting product before business, but I can't see Google being the kind of company to do that intentionally.

It's worse than that, in iOS devices the mac address is easy to predict. For instance my phone and my wife phone have the first four bytes the same.

> Ross and Smith ended their paper by estimating their suit’s weight. It would, they calculated, have an Earth weight of 150 pounds. On the moon, however, where gravity pulls with about 15% as much force as on Earth, their suit would weigh only about 25 pounds.

This kind of audience-confusing shortcut always makes me jump. It would still weight 150 pounds on the moon, but it would exert 15% of the force as generated on Earth. The distinction is important, even for the uneducated, because it means that although you appear to weight less statically, you have exactly the same inertia.

> ...when operated responsibly

I also think this is the main point. And the big hard thing to swallow is that in Japan you have to trust a hell lot of people to operate responsibly, or you can't live there.

You trust house developper to not fake anti-cyclonic and aniti-sismic rules (and then you have the Haneha incidents, but you have to trust them anyway), you trust your locality to warn you when tsunami comes, you trust the government to evacuate you when volcanos blow up (there's a plenty in the south of Japan), you trust the dam makers to have taken enough security margins. And you won't live anywhere safe enough to not have to think about any of these risks.

And you know each of this big big companies must have their load of dirty filthy psychopaths, but you just believe deep in your mind that still most of the people will do The Right Thing. You can put more laws, more controls, more processes, but you'll still have to believe they won't fake the most part, and you won't know it until some more shit happens.
Doesn't work: see Britain's current recession. Cutting government spending when the economy is depressed will cause the economy to become more depressed, at which point tax revenues will go down, causing you to wish for more spending cuts... economic death spiral (think runaway inflation in reverse).

The most fundamental problem is that perfect anti-virus is impossible.

According to Rice's theorem, you cannot in the general case prove any run-time property of a program solely by looking at its code, which means that can't 100% reliably detect viruses simply by looking at the code.

I'd never hire old engineers, they're stuck in their ways and insist on using SOAP

Just as a nice case study...

I was "old" when SOAP got popular (late twenties early thirties). Most of my (age) peer group seemed to agree with me in that it seemed over complicated and messy. We were, of course, old stick-in-the-muds who couldn't adapt to the new technology :-)

It was the "young" developers who jumped on it more than anybody else that I saw - the everything-in-xml crowd.

Ten years on, of course, the "young" crowd are now seen as "old".

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose :-)

Ageism cuts both ways, and it's never an excuse for winning an argument or evaluating a person. You evaluate people on their merits or you pass over valuable people and pay the price for it.

Amen. Young and old both have stick-in-the-mud types. It's just that the young folk haven't had the time to demonstrate whether they are stick-in-the-mud types. You don't want to hire them whatever their age.

Using node.js (or whatever) doesn't make you cool, hip, and open to new ideas. I can guarantee that, if this forum is still around in ten years time, there will be somebody complaining about this old fker who wants to do everything in node.js :-)

tldr: more efficient WIFI = longer battery life

I think maybe some of you missed the part where they say:

While the back-end elements of wireless have been digitized long ago, the front end—phase modulation, frequency synthesis, and RF power amplification, for example—have largely been dependent on analog components.

The problem posed by those analog components is that while digital components can be scaled down with improvements in silicon die manufacturing, the analog parts can't—as they get smaller, they get worse, Ratter said. Yorgos Palaskas, the research leader in Intel's radio integration lab, said that because analog components generally performed much better when manufactured on a larger scale, the analog components for WiFi transceivers and cell phones "are typically made on a separate fab."

...

Some of the components already existed in a digital form, but needed to be significantly improved. Intel had digital phase modulators already that were developed for satellite and mobile communications, but they only handled enough frequency channels for 3G communications. "We needed much wider channels for WiFi, up to 40 MHz of bandwidth," Palaskas said. "It required some very creative mathematical manipulation."
