True, but it's to a much lesser extent. The constituion of a country is pretty clear on who is in charge, how to select the people who are, how many representatives, how they're set up, where the power lies. The bulk of the information is pretty straight-forward. There's certainly plenty of edge cases, but it's not really presented in terms of parables.
this is really a problem. as developers we really need to take care of this problem. I think we don't need to build everything "responsive" (sure, it's the best solution, but not every budget makes that possible).

If you're not making your site responsive, take care of font sizes. sure, your design will maybe look terrible, but it really helps.
Sweet. Now people just have to remove the strangle-hold Oracle has on their companies data.
I buy cash nice german cars that are three or four years old: that's during these years that they lose the most of their value.

Low mileage and I know they're good to go for at least 50k miles or so with only oil and tire change.

Then I resell them and rince and repeat.

Very good bang for the bucks.
It's useful with Safe Haskell, which limits a few things so you can 'safely' run untrusted code. With this interface you could limit IO actions the user is allowed to run.
That's a half hour savings at leat.
Non-critical name constraints provide a security benefit to clients that support them without affecting those that do not.

The sole raison d'être for the entire CA infrastructure is to prevent active MITM-style attacks. So from that perspective what you said is positively Orwellian.

Noncritical name constraints absolutely do affect clients that don't support them. It reduces their security by making them vulnerable to MitM!

The entire purpose of the critical flag was to allow evolving the PKI system without reducing security for existing systems. We ought not set the flag FALSE because the CA's big customers prefer flexibility to the security of the whole ecosystem.

Clients that don't support them are vulnerable to misuse of the constrained certificate, of course, but since the alternative is often an unconstrained, CA certificate, it's still a clear win.

A false dichotomy being imposed by a well-funded minority for which it serves their interests.
There's also no reason to believe it won't, unless you're aiming for bias in the analysis.
Fred Wilson wrote a nine part blog series on employee equity which you should read:

In fairness, not knowing what buttons do at a glance can indeed be an indication of bad design.
Depends how many total founders there are, and whether the one we were dubious about was CEO. I don't think we'd fund a co if we didn't like the CEO. Whereas if there were 3 founders and we disliked one who wasn't the CEO, it probably wouldn't be a problem.

Incidentally, you are probably overestimating the degree to which you'd lower their chances. We often fund groups on the nth try. PagerDuty was those guys' fourth try. Even Dropbox was Drew's second try.

How many of those are pre-orders? My point being if they sell out but only have a small % more products than they have pre-orders for then it suggests they are indeed using scarcity for marketing purposes.

Like you note there's not real point in speculating on it without firm stats.
Interesting. I'm the daughter of an electrician. I was admitted to Harvard in 2002, and at that time I believe they wanted my parents to pay about $12,000 for my first year. My parents couldn't afford it, and I did not attend. If that calculator is to be believed, Harvard would now expect less than $3000 from my parents. I probably would have attended had that been the case back then.
Automatic Semicolon Insertion Slower than Manual Semicolon Insertion · jsPerf
I agree I worked for companies who had the expense budget but not the purchase budget. So I suggested they lease their PCs instead of buying them, store all data on a server, and every three years get new leased PCs. It saved them money and gave them a tax break. Every three years technology changes anyway and instead of buying new PCs they just return the old leased ones and buy new leased ones.

The PCs companies leased, usually get sold very cheap by a liquidator. Then companies and people on a limited budget can buy the used PCs.

Cars are basically the same way.
It'd be interesting to see the Warren starter app. I didn't notice a link. Is it on GitHub?
Although I can understand why some on PC would consider Linux a second class citizen for gaming, the larger issue that matters more is PC in general typically being a second class citizen for games through lack luster console ports. I would much rather see developers focus on making quality games for PC in general than worrying about porting it natively to Linux or OSX instead of just assuring it works well in Wine.

It would be nice to just see everyone behind that more than complaining about whether something is native or using wine. A lousy console port that works natively is still a lousy game.
Give it a rest already. Most advise is condescending. Including yours. If you haven't worked on a product that is 'difficult' for other to master, maybe it's because you just haven't solved any hard programs. Can you list all amazing programs that you have written?

Here is a dude who has started a company and he has something to say. He has written something nice and instead of appreciating what he has written and what he wants to convey, people go on and on nitpicking about irrelevant stuff.

Sorry, but yours is a terrible comment.
what are you talking about? Honestly. I have no idea what you are talking about.
I think this is a case where the precise terminology is critical.

The only way to know how a certificate may or may not "be used" is by looking at how the source code of all client applications to see how they will interpret it.

How many of the cases of trusted-root chained MITM seen in the wild (Iran, Turkey) were prevented by the business agreements making MITM "forbidden"?
That's not entirely fair. Better to say that Haskell separates the pure from impure, but it has both. The straight line dependencies of the IO sequencing are still part of the Haskell program.

The domino analogy could apply to C just as well, except that there are only a few lines of code before the first domino falls.
>fuck Java in the browser..
>client-side Java ... is a tragedy of epic proportions

client-side Java != browser jvm
In fact, all of your client-side Java code will run perfectly well without a browser on your Mac, Windows & Linux boxes. I still do a lot of client-side Scala, running on Mac & linux, with no browsers involved at all. The simplest way for a data scientist to process say ~10 GB of records & display linegraphs & scatterplots is like 20 lines of straight client-side Scala, no browser, no html, no CSS3, no JS, no canvas. Throw it in a generalpath & apply an affine transform & you have your curve.(http://bit.ly/WWoaKS). Almost all my work these days is client-side Scala, and I've never used a browser.
OpenX Ads Delivering Trojan?

Huh? WoW goods are key elements in a game specifically designed around their acquisition. IP is a tiny part of a completely different game we call the "economy," a game that was designed and refined around a radically different class of goods with essentially no attributes in common.

Trying to apply market-economic rules to IP is like trying to use a Zamboni as a lawnmower. Sure, it can be done, but you're going to have to force people to do it, and they are going to invent some very creative workarounds.

When you have to force people to follow the rules, it often means there's something wrong with the rules.

This is simply a difference of degree. If first-run movies were available to DVR off basic cable, they would also make far less money. In both cases, we discuss the economics of digital goods that derive value from an extrinsic scarcity.
Does it occur to anyone that the folks who are working on driverless cars might have a reason to want a place to work on pilotless planes? While the current autopilot in many commercial planes can handle a lot of the flying, there are some decent savings available if you could reduce the number of pilots. Especially if you can make the solutions small and cheap enough for 2-4 seat planes.

No, you're right Ptacek because in this case the extension is being marked NON-critical. I.e., if the client code doesn't recognize the name constraint extension, it's OK to just ignore it.

Large parts of the source code to NT4 and 2000 were leaked and are trivially available - and there's also the WRK for more modern kernel sources.

Of course, simply having read illegally-downloaded, copyrighted microsoft code makes you a liability in the eyes of several open source projects such as Wine and ReactOS.

Wow. Arrogant much? The truth is that you are not really interested in actually discussing the facts. Ed Bott was paid by Microsoft to promote Windows 7 in his blog back in 2008. His views are not partisan and his articles as a result are meritless. He, in simple words just for you, is biased in favor of Microsoft. ZDNet, much like other online IT tabloids like The Register, habitually publish nothing but trash that is designed for the sole purpose of advertising views. That this and other similar stories have recently featured so prominently has set alarm bells ringing.

To be honest, I really don't care what you think because so far you've done nothing but troll me. Using "sloppy" spelling as a reason to discredit what I said as well as calling me a liar? Come on, you surely can do better than that!

non-critical name extensions strictly dominate unconstrained certificates

Don't you see how, once again, the CA industry has shifted the debate from the level of security everyone expected them to provide all along to another lesser of two evils?

The discussion isn't about whether or not we must require name constraints on 3rd-party sub-CAs to be marked 'critical'. The issue is that the world of SSL/TLS client application users and developers believe, expect, and rely upon the non-proliferation of private keys with the ability to forge identities for the servers to which they connect.

So, yeah, maybe it's more Overton than Orwellian.

xrays could have given cancer to the people conducting the treatments. Using fear, xrays should have never been used for anything.

Is it worth the risk that doctors using xrays might get cancer to save some patients?

Is it worth the risk of giving a patient cancer just because they might have a 10% chance of a life threatening injury.

If you look at all clichéd stuffups with technology their kill rates are tiny, often like DDT they saved many many lives.

Now take all the things people get scared of - TV, Mobile phones, electricity towers, chemicals(What ever this means).

"if they sell out but only have a small % more products than they have pre-orders for then it suggests they are indeed using scarcity for marketing purposes."

I don't think that's the case:

* When Apple allows for pre-ordering, it's rarely more than two weeks in advance.

* On launch day, there are always long lines in front of the Apple Stores, APRs and other retail stores that sell Apple products. The people standing in line haven't pre-ordered, since pre-orders are fulfilled by mail.

* New iDevices are sold in only a few countries at launch. Other countries have to wait weeks (like mainland Europe) or months (like China and India) to get any stock.

However what did happen though is that a vehicle of mine equipped with a GPS got stolen in Europe and despite me telling the cops exactly behind which garage door the vehicle was located, they refused to open the garage without a warrant. Now so many days have passed by that it's likely that the thieves have moved the vehicle and that I'll never see it again.
