And then when your blog quotes or links to some other site (let's face it, a huge amount of blogging is discussion of news stories ...)? - they can't put that under CC and they might even be asked to pay for the privilege of linking to the story - they basically get hit both ways.
You might be right. I'm just steamed about a nice tidy free option being swept right out from under me with no warning at all.

> If you can't even start something, no amount of "connections" will do you any good whatsoever.

I know this. Second question is not directely connected to the first one, I wrote "let's say I build my product" and asked about its promotion.

> Your whole posts makes it sound like you're making excuses instead of actually trying to change.

I don't think I'm making excuses. I'm aware I have problem and ask for some possible solutions. However you are (at least partialy) right about giving up power. This is a good point. I'm in the proccess of taking control, I'm really changing for better. I've changed some parts of my life I couldn't change in the past (because in the past I was just talking about that, without any real action), and still there is a lot to improve. And you know what? Responses here are really valuable for me, now I see the path I should go to change one of the worst of my flaws.

Thanks for your input.

You've seen my pull requests then? When I write code for work or anyone but me I make sure it's well done. Just because I don't like it doesn't mean I don't do it.

E.g.:

https://github.com/marionettejs/backbone.marionette/pull/346

for my most recent.

So quit with the negative bullshit attitude and realize that you haven't a clue about what you're saying.

Also note it isn't superior nothing. I'm just genuinely baffled that people are so hesitant about looking at code for a solution. No mater how good the dox I don't understand til I've read the code. Also note how in my linked example residing the docs was way less useful than just looking at the code. Not because the marionette ppl are the evil dancer you whine about but because they are ppl and sometimes things slip

You know the Predators were (and possibly still are) transmitting all their video without any encryption?[1] And they've also suffered virus infection on their ground-station computers?[2]

I don't know whats running on the actual drones, but it wouldn't surprise me at all to find there's well known exploits against something like QNX or VxWorks (or, and I shudder at this thought, Windows CE) that the drones are vulnerable to whilst in-flight…

I wonder how they calculate active uses. I check Google+ maybe once a month...am I counted in there?

I wish these statistics were reported in user-hours/month or some other unit that provided real information. I suspect this wouldn't look good for Google though.
Israel have built an anti-radar missile that has cruise capability, allowing it to loiter above a theatre waiting for something to make an active radar lock. I think (but am not sure) that it can even land safely for reuse after a set time frame if unused.
I've been thinking this as well.

However, if you don't have any siblings and none of your very old friends know anything about technology/startups, you're kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place. (me)

My old friends are really smart and I'd love to work with them, but when I try to talk to them about doing a startup, they look at my like I'm nuts.
Sorry, but even for a team of 6 people if you can't muster $300/yr (breaking down to $25/mo or $4/user-mo) you aren't bootstrapping. You're being inefficient, and perhaps even reckless with your endeavor. (Unless you're building a competitor).

Sometimes it's about the pennies. But other times, especially early, it won't be these types chunks of money that kill you. I used to go on CL and do user-studies for $50 a pop and resell the gift cards for cash or amazon credit. So it's hard for me to believe that what you are building can't spare an hour of work to fund baseline communication systems that are pretty well supported.
>"You vehemently disagree, seemingly because they are liquid enough you may be able to get some money for them."

No, I disagree because I know what a substantial portion of Apple's investments are (this information is public), and they are, by definition, cash or cash equivalents.

>"Let's start simple: Can you explain why if you think they are 'cash' or 'cash equivalents', they're explicitly not listed in the 10-k as "cash equivalents"?"

Because they don't have to list them as such? There's a lot of deception in SEC filings; that's half the game. It's only me speculating, but I believe Apple is utilizing many tricks to help them retain all those earnings, rather than paying taxes on all those profits. Would that surprise you?

>"Given the companies don't believe they are cash or cash equivalents, or at least their auditors don't, can you explain why you do?"

Taxes.

I mean, this side-discussion started because you made the claim:

"In short: Apple doesn't really have some amazing amount of cash."

Which is only true in the strictest definition of "cash". When "cash" is used how most investors understand it --those people you accused of being "seriously confused"-- Apple has a bunch. You don't have to take my word for it, it's out there.
I've been using https://www.fastmail.fm/ forever, nothing but good things to say
First of all, thanks for the advice. I am not necessarily planning on dropping out, but I want to keep myself open to any potentially wonderful experiences. I also really enjoy school (mainly the CS classes), and I truly understand how beneficial it is. I've been setting small goals yhat lead to bigger goals for myself, and it's been working so far, and that is an awesome feeling. I really want to polish all of my abilities, and assuming I stay in school, I will dedicate a good portion of my free time to that.

Again, thank you for this bit of wisdom. I realize that I have to remain realistic, along with being incredibly motivated and pushing for innovation.
Most people pay more than $50 (or even $100 or $200) a year for far less useful services than a managed collaboration suite with full support.

To put it in perspective, Netflix costs ~$108 a year. People have no issues spending $4 a day on a latte, but just 13 lattes costs more than a year of Google Apps. A single latte or a big mac meal at mcdonalds costs more than an entire month of google apps for you.
If I were 8 again, I'd totally waste days on it, organize races with friends and stuff. Very cool!
Elephant killing and hideous website aside, GoDaddy forwards up to 100 addresses for free with domain registration.
I'd usually agree (grey text on a light background, anyone?), but honestly I'm much more interested in combating the trend of obscuring content with floating navigation bars than I am in yet another story about Tim Cook and Apple.
Reality check :) Google isn't a small, open startup anymore. There are layers of corporate bureaucracy that distance public from the company. You happen to deal less with people and more with the system. The focus has long shifted away from users. As a result, we see new features, offerings, and policies gently forced upon for our own good and a better experience.

I guess I assumed that most younger (or just beginning) iOS developers had built apps prior to getting offered positions. Right now, I would love a part-time job or an internship (that pays, because I wouldn'y be able to survive without money), so that I could remain in school, while doing something within the software engineering field. I've applied to some local internships, and am keeping my fingers crossed.
"Dicking us over"

Really? * really? * Choosing to stop offering a free service while allowing people who already have it to keep it is dicking you over?
Your point would be right if companies SEC filing matched their tax filings. Companies are ALLOWED to keep a set of Tax record books and accounting record books and pay taxes based on the profits from their tax books. The Tax books have been screwed with beyond all belief, the SEC ones not so much. My wife is a CPA and I've got a masters of finance and have spent time doing the tax book game.
Which would be great if checking a feed meant more than logging into your gmail. Also it would be super if it were still 2006 and the only way to sign up was a .edu account. Since it's 2012 and most of the activity is driven by Gmail I'd say it's a glacial pace.

When your marketing tools are the frontdoor of the internet as well as everyone's INBOX, and you're outdone by 11 guys with an iPhone only photosharing app, you know you're doing something wrong.

It's a service so bad you can't even be forced to use it. It's as pathetic as MSN.com not being the front page of the internet despite 90% of computers defaulting to it.
So this means that when github tells you, "We recommend adding a readme to this repo" you can actually do it right there! It's even a link now. Ah this is so great.

Am I missing something? "Give me your number and password, and I'll show you that WhatsApp is insecure". Really?

There is definitely a place to out a company that fails to secure things consistently, but asking for credentials in this way absolutely wrecks your credibility to anyone but the most trusting of people that already knows you. No one should input anything into this form, even if it's credible. To do so, is assuming that it is not being stored in any way (unprovable), and that it is following security best practices (on a site that's not even operating on a secure connection). I'm sure you are a standup guy, but I hope we never get complacent with blindly accepting "hack checkers" like the ones that popped up around other notable hacks recently
OK... I assume it's not a phishing site, which requires your phone number and password...

All you need is a forwarding service to forward the incoming mail to your gmail account, as regular personal gmail can handle sending out email with a different from address.

No exim4, no spamassassin, no clam-av, no figuring out which indexer to use, or any of that. Just a forward on the incoming mail.
While fixing all the locks will be costly and time-consuming, perhaps a far smaller number of specialized 'tripwire' fix boards can be sent to affected hotels, boards which track (and perhaps report instantly by radio) attempts to use the hack. For example, one such device could be added per floor.

Even if crooks only very occasionally trip the specialized replacements, they would alert hotels to active exploitation, allowing either immediate apprehension or timely review of security footage. Shifting the risk/reward for criminals could buy time for a more complete but gradual fix.

I wonder how this will effect the Google Apps Marketplace
https://www.google.com/enterprise/marketplace/?pli=1

At the very least there will be less potential customers now. I imagine some people would have been willing to pay $0 to Google and $15 per user per month for some kind of project management offering, now it's $65 per month, which is really going to hurt new sign ups.

Also for anyone with an existing free account who wants to add new domains, don't forget you can add domain alias's. So you keep the same account but just make it so email from two+ different domains can come in. For tiny ideas that always have the same 1-2 employees it's almost preferable to a whole new account anyway.

Ridiculous to compare usage numbers between the two considering Facebook at that point (e.g. when they were at 100mil users) had no dominant products that its users were using every day. In other words when Facebook users went to Facebook, they really meant to.

With G+, the monthly stats are meaningless since they're probably representative of Gmail logins who accidentally click on +.

Once you've already spent the time and money to pull the locks off the doors and replace/add a circuit board, you may as well just drop in the fixed board. That prevents the main vulnerability from functioning, though there's no fix at all for the encryption flaw (but no one has exploited that, nor will they in the near future, if I had to guess).

Depends what you need to host. If you just want email & a blog, gandi.net will providing hosting for those as part of their domain registration (~$15 per year, depending on which TLD you want).

They also include minimal web hosting with registration too, but last I looked their (free) offering was so bad it didn't really count as a feature.

I imagine some other domain registrars have similar options.
thanks... not quite what I was thinking of for a gift, but I'll check it out for myself :)
Yea, I know that it's technically a V1 for the 13", but you would think that Apple would have noticed that the discrete graphics on the larger model (which has only a slightly higher resolution) were barely getting the job done as it was.

I have high hopes for the next version, I'm hoping that they can work out the performance issues and at the same time implement retina screens into the actual Macbook Air product line.

They've effectively created a DRM system that people like.

I'm lucky in that I already have Google Apps and they're not starting to charge me. But if I didn't I'd look at whether there are reasonable free/cheap alternatives out there.

For customers it looks like the end of free Gmail-for-your-domain. But for competitors I imagine it looks like the end of price gouging.

It is entirely likely that had he given them notice and then 6 months to prepare, they would have spent the entire 6 months suing him and trying to get him silenced by court order. The problem would then still exist but he would be bankrupt and unable to warn anyone.

Our legal structure creates situations where the "right thing" sometimes has to be balanced against the potential for personal ruin, so it turns into the "rightest" thing given the circumstances.

I see what you are trying to do, but I think it would work better if you requested the MAC address instead of the password. The way it's written now, it looks like you're asking for the password.

I support this though, because WhatsApp has known about this for a couple years now and refuse to do anything about it.

The short version is, anyone can steal your messages if they have your mac address. Anyone on the same network as you, or within wifi range -- even if not connected to a wifi network, but with the radio on -- has your mac address. And you can never change it, so once someone snarfs it once, they get your account for life.

Edit: From the README on the GitHub page:

Password Overview

Android: MD5 hash of reversed IMEI (Credit: WhatsAPI Original Authors)
iOS: MD5 hash of the MAC address repeated twice (Credit: Ezio Amodio)
Windows Phone: MD5 hash of reversed DeviceUniqueId (Credit: Robe Fernández)*
But it isn't easy to get the IMEI #. In my opinion, it does provide some sort of security.

I think/hope California is simply trying to raise awareness of the law, rather than believing that Delta's mobile app is a serious threat to privacy.

On Android, the privacy policy is linked from the Play Store, and the standard Android permissions system describes the functionality that the app uses. Apparently that isn't enough to comply with the law (according to the complaint); I didn't know that before now, and so the lawsuit seems to be working.

It takes Delta a lot longer than 30 days to fix technical issues even when they clearly want to (e.g. their website was broken for a few months and you had to phone in to change seats; I'm sure that was costing them a small fortune per day in additional phone bank staff). I doubt that Delta are even keeping much of this PII: it's neither their business nor their forte.
Or just stop having these conversations. Let them change the subject. Stop telling them they could do it. Get over your apparent need to be constantly selling the startup dream and just talk about their damn sister's wedding.

Oh, but 'you can't help it'? Whatever. You won't know until you try. You'll figure it out, you've just got to do it. Right?
