Increasing the counter at the end is obviously weak when you find that "password46" is not working anymore so you try "...47".

However if someone steals a whole password database with a million passwords, chances are they just automate the login attempts and subsequent nefarious actions. They might not try to figure out anyone's naive password scheme if they get thousands of successful logins the easy way!?

I'm saying this because I've heard your reasoning before, and of course I've been staring at the keyboard when trying to change one of my passwords, wondering just how clever I need to be right there.

Yes. I had a friend once who took a cab to work when her bus didn't arrive, even though it meant she would have a net negative income for that day, so she wouldn't lose her job.

I like your clever use of "looks great" and then a subtle dig with "seems like a really good first pass" and then sneaking in some weaknesses before explaining why the strengths of your platform are better. Then bookending a second branding mention of "Kivo" to wrap things up.

"Today I want to synthesize the strategic direction and massive opportunity I've been discussing for the last few months".

I feel jargon like this is particularly unfortunate when used in a rousing team-building speech. Maybe these words capture some nuance which could not be expressed as concisely without them, but language is also used to separate in-groups from out-groups. To me, this use of "synthesize" gives off a strong visceral sense that "this man is not one of us, he spends all his times in insular CEO-only circles". He could at least have had someone else proof-read his speech and point out things like this.
I say Aereo and or another should become a wireless ISP like NetBlazr (article about them http://goo.gl/TpBh9A).

NetBlazr sets up WiFi antenna's on rooftops now. While you set up my Internet antenna, please set up a TV antenna for me - one I can access streaming via the web. I only pay for Internet service and a one time TV antenna set up fee.

Now if this company, whether it be NetBlazr or Aereo wants to offer more channels via their web site where I watch my local channels then great! I just might buy more channels.

Afaik, it's not competitively priced for large volume. We priced around 650 users for box, and it came out to be roughly $8K annually. At $5/month/user, the Amazon offering would be roughly $40K annually. I'd actually prefer to go the Amazon route, but they're going to have to offer volume discounts to make it compelling.
Definitely, and I think your concerns are valid, but if you found that loading each file on demand yielded the optimal performance for your app, wouldn't you go with it? Additionally, I think the method the author is presenting can be very well suited to both partial bundles and individual files. For what it's worth, you and I are in similar positions and it sounds like we have very similar approaches with our own apps. As long as readers understand that this is one possible solution to a nontrivial problem, I'm happy with it.

I'm trying to put this as constructively as I can: Proudly dismissing Windows on the second line of your copy makes me not want to take you seriously. There's nothing wrong with not supporting certain platforms, but bragging about it makes you seem a bit snobby.

EDIT: And I'll grumpily admit that this also bugs me because Windows is me favorite OS and Breach looks like a thing I would actually use. I hope its just circumstance. And not some goal in itself to not support it out of some far fetched principle.
When they say "productivity and platform", I think they mean Office and Windows. It's probably a code everyone at MS is familiar with.

That's a great article, but I'd like to add that SMB / Enterprise isn't a strictly binary demaracation with clearly defined boundaries. It's more of an analog continuum where lumping a given company into one bucket or the other is somewhat probabilistic.

Eg, a 500 person company and a 32,000 person company are both over the stated threshold of250 employees for "SMB", but the 500 person company and the 32,000 person company may behave quite differently.

I think this article covers some related ground and may be of interest here:

NYC already has plenty of taxis. I would expect Uber to only really be used there either as a) a luxury black car service, or b) a convenient taxi dispatch service. It sounds like you're talking about them as if they're purely the latter. Surely they're acting as both? They could also be c) a cheaper alternative to cabs (as UberX), which is what UberX actually is here in SF, but I don't know if UberX exists everywhere or operates the same way everywhere (laws regarding car services are likely to not be that different everywhere, but UberX exists in a much more grey area that I can very much believe doesn't work everywhere; plus, it doesn't make as much sense when there's already enough taxis to go around).

As a luxury black car service, everything I've already said stands.

Ax a taxi dispatch service, I wouldn't expect really anything I know about Uber to apply. But I wouldn't expect surge pricing to apply either, because when Uber acts as a taxi dispatch service, you're still just paying the regular taxi fare (with the caveat that Uber guarantees a 20% (I think) tip instead of leaving it up to the passenger). And if surge pricing doesn't apply, then neither does the claim that drivers cancel when surge pricing is going up.

As far as I'm aware, the main reason for a taxi to cancel is because of laws requiring that taxis can't say no to a street fare, even if they're being dispatched to pick up someone else. This is the same reason why it can take a while to get a taxi to show up when calling the dispatcher directly, and using Uber to request a pickup shouldn't alter that at all. Of course, I could be misinformed about how that law works, but that's my understanding of it. (And of course the taxi driver could have other personal reasons for canceling, but surge pricing isn't one of them).

On this note, the $4 for canceling fee actually makes some sense, if we assume Uber was unable to successfully recruit enough cab drivers with the model of Uber being paid a flat fee for each ride. Uber still benefits by having taxi dispatch services in its app, because that means it becomes the one-stop app for people who need car-based transportation, and once you have them in the app you might convince them to go with the real Uber services. And the $4 cancellation penalty encourages drivers to not cancel, which in the absence of a rating system (which I don't believe Uber has for taxis, nor could it really enforce due to e.g. taxis being driven by someone other than the owner) is the only real way to incentivize drivers to not cancel.
Unfortunately it won't go anywhere because it doesn't have bipartisan support. Not a single R cosponsor. If it somehow passed the Senate, it would die in the House. What a waste.

I did Kanban for a few years. The process was something like this:

1. (bi)weekly review of backlog items for prioritization
2. When a dev is free, they pick a story from the board, and work on that exclusively (more or less) until it's done.
3. When a task is done it goes over to the QA area
4. QA grabs tasks that are ready for testing. They do the testing and then approve for deployment
5. Dev picks up a new story.

We pushed to production pretty regularly as soon as features were done. It is nice to not have this idea of "end of sprint" and having your task done by then. You just work, push to test, and pick up something else.

There is a huge, sprawling market of art online. And I don't mean stuff with the cultural approval of the gallery system. I mean, say, people making a living by drawing mind-control commissions on Deviantart. Paying the bills by cranking out custom art of folk's furry characters on Furaffinity. Selling commissions of weird stuff via Tumblr. Folks doing web comics and selling ads/books/t-shirts. Custom clothes/jewelry/chainmail/whatever on Etsy. Patreon is helping too - lotsa people are starting to say "hey I just wanna draw some COOL STUFF and if you like my themes then help support me doing it" in various ways on that site.

This economy has been booming ever since Paypal made it easy to give someone money online.

None of it is "Fine Art". No small amount of it is pornography. It is not glamorous. It is not pretentious. A hell of a lot of it is amateurs still learning. But there is a lot of it, and some of it is amazing.

Seriously: I have a friend who put his wife through nursing school, and is still helping to support her and their child, by drawing outrageous furry latex bondage commissions.

Yes, I'd revise as "Consider using Python 3 in this case." This is a chief reason why I now avoid Python 2. Python 3 is more than five years old. Where we have discretion to choose Python 3, it's time to exercise that discretion. Not because 3 is greater than 2. Because Python 2 has prominent pains that are healed in Python 3.

>'Based on my experience at least, YNAB (You Need A Budget -- http://www.youneedabudget.com/) is the best budgeting software out there. It's a lot more complex than this, and unlike something like Mint it does require you to manually enter transactions.'

I'm a big fan of YNAB.

Being fully automated would certainly be nice, but grabbing a set of CSVs from my bank once a month is a not a big deal and the software does a reasonable job of matching categories once it has some data.

>'Unless you're a multimillionaire, you can probably benefit from using it.'

I'd imagine so.

What I think makes YNAB really valuable is that is that it's loose enough so as not to become a mess if you aren't consistent and exacting about keeping it up to date.

You're going to get something out of it even if you don't bother to create a specific allowances. Simply going with suggested categories and generating a budget based on prior outflows will provide a useful perspective.

I'm not sure artificial scarcity is a bad thing, as it allows digital products to exist. As a consumer I'd much rather have the option to choose between a digital product and a digital service. Somethings like email and web hosting obviously have to be a digital service. Things like games and music can be either. And I usually choose the product since it'll exist long after the service is gone. (Assuming no DRM)

I think we may be entering a digital dark age, where in the not too distant future, a lot of the software of today will no longer be useable. There will be no DOSBOX equivalent to play web games of 2014.

If the connections are dropped quietly (client side does not find out the connection is gone) then how does the long poll case know that the existing poll conn is not going to return any data and a new one needs to be initiated?

That's a fair response, but if I was looking to raise capital, this structure would result in me avoiding your firm regardless of your track record and reputation. The conflicts of interest that this structure creates, perceived and real, would be deal-breakers.
