If a startup fails to come up with having a compelling profit-making story, but has money left, wouldn't it be the prudent thing to return the money to the investors, then decide, what should be done now. Not completely pivot to a new space that has zero relation to the original investment? If the team is basically one remaining guy, and a completely new team, how does this even fly with the investors?
9/11. At the time, my habit was to login and go to sites like cnn.com for the morning's news. None of the normal news sites would come up. That is odd I thought. Continued onto/., where I first saw the post about it. I immediately went and turned on the TV. Crazy stuff.
How do other anti-virus programs handle this scenario--some comments were saying this behavior were as a result of defender having to do nothing more than others could do, so this implies the hooks necessary to handle this correctly may not be there. Do others also download a separate copy? Is it that their copy can't be differentiated while the defender copy can? What makes this defender specific?
This isn't even a good comparison. The assumption is that there can be a catastrophic failure that completely ruptures the tube such that there is no slowdown. Then the next assumption is that the column doesn't slow down at all, and that isn't realistic either. Finally, there is an assumption that there are no safeguards that can plug the tunnel at various points, which I can easily see being part of the infrastructure, if only to slow down the pressurization of the length of the tube. They don't even have to be particularly effective.
I replied to parent, but there is a trick with MySQL--you can call the parameratized api call, but most MySQL drivers will convert this into raw SQL. In Wordpress, the internal api call to use a parameratized query will do this--on the wire and on the database, it is as if you never did this from a security point of view. I know as my company makes a product that can add a security layer to Wordpress between it and the database, and only for a few rare plugins did we have to support parameratized calls to the database. 99% of the wordpress ecosystem does not actually do this.
Parameteritized queries against MySQL are often converted into non-parameratized queries for performance reasons. This is the DEFAULT behavior of most MySQL drivers. Most programmers don't even know it is happening behind the scenes, and the protection they thought they have is lost.
I have a software project, and had my ads taken offline for exactly the same reasons he had. We don't compete with Google in any way. This isn't about them using their position against competitors, it is that they will error on the side of posting ads, and when they review them, if the landing pages don't meet their requirements, they will take them back offline. Noting unusual about their behavior here folks. They want several things, including a clear download link, EULA and install/uninstall instructions so if someone doesn't like it, they know how to get rid of it.
All you are doing is extending the value to other things that also don't have value and saying that is why it has value. Everything in the crypto-currency markets have the same problem. Just because one pump and dump stock is used to trace between other pump and dump stocks doesn't make any one of them valuable. Until crypto-currencies are actually used to drive a reasonably significant percentage of transactions between consumers and businesses, there won't be any real inherent value. For this to happen, the price needs to stabilize, as right now, the currency value is effectively in a rapidly deflationary economy, where the price of goods is effectively getting smaller. This encourages hoarding of the currency, and prevents the actual economy from working. While the price of bitcoin keeps surging people won't use it for things outside of the crypto-currency markets. It must stabilize, and the entire design of it won't allow that. It will either keep surging or it will fall, stable is not what it is designed for.
They are getting rich by cashing out while others put their money in. Bitcoin is like a stock with no inherent value, but which is pumped in a pump and dump scheme. The only difference is that the people buying into it KNOW that the stock is a pump and dump, but are hoping to get off before everybody else stops piling in. Because it has no inherent value with which to compare it to, nobody can say that it is "overpriced", unlike a pump and dump stock however, so keeps going up. People will say "all currency has value simply because people trust it has value" but most currency is used to actually buy and trade for goods and services. Bitcoin, while it has SOME value for goods and services, is generally traded against other currencies. You get rich because the price of bitcoin goes up, vs. currency, you don't get rich just because you have Bitcoin.
That said, I expect that it will continue to go up, as people pile on the hype train, but at some point, the train will have a last stop, and everybody left on it at that time will realize that the last stop is just a cliff. Consider this--what happens if someone realizes there is some inherent flaw in the bitcoin blockchain system, and can corrupt it? How much value would be left?
If you want to see what "bling" does to an app, get the new Skype for Android. Total suckage. Things you use every day need to be solid, simple, and functional. Please don't give anybody ideas of "refreshes" and bling. You can provide ideas on what needs to be fixed (like the calendar copy idea) but you don't need to rewrite anything to make something better.
I believe that early on in gmail, there was a lack of checks for this (I vaguely remember an article on it), but that they fixed it since then. Some old overlapping names may be around from that period however.
One of the prime therapies that chiropractors do is using electrical stimulation. You end up feeling better, at least for a while. You can buy cheap "tens" units, google for "tens unit" cheap and they do the same thing, and you can use them while mobile, not just lying on your back. Make sure to get the electrode pads as well if you are in constant pain, but IMHO, ever house should have one, just like many other first-aid measures.
This domain resolves to 127.0.0.1 and was likely a use-case where a self-signed key would have done just as well is my guess, i.e. nothing to see here.
The main issue with e-mail is that it has two parties involved. If either of the parties is compromised in a communication, then it doesn't matter how secure the other party is. Due to the sheer volume of people using Gmail, it is likely they already have a copy of most of your mail anyway. By using Gmail just like so many other people, you at least only have one system potentially snooping on you. If you believe that you are more secure using other systems, you are likely wrong.
IANAS (I am not a scientist but) Methane Hydrate is rather unstable, and tends to off-gas when water warms. By harvesting the more easily accessible hydrate for the methane, it may help reduce the methane impact on global warming, as methane is a far more potent greenhouse gas than CO2 is.
This will allow third party ROMs to be built and released for nearly every phone much more easily. I envision the golden age of customized ROMs on the way.
The problem is programming to a spec instead of programming to what is needed. This isn't likely a programming issue, but that they were told "accept ages up to 110" by someone writing the spec.
Quote "I can't answer that, but I did attend lately a session by Raffi Krikorian, who was VP Platform Engineering at Twitter and one of the people responsible for introducing scala at Twitter.
He was asked about scala, and said that if he would have to choose again today, he's not sure he would go with scala.
The argument was that scala introduces a big learning curve for new developers. Because of its complicated language features it can become hard to read. So at Twitter they are trying to not overuse the complexities of the language, so the main benefit they get from it are lambdas. Which is now basically available with Java 8. So the overhead of developer training might not be worth the benefit."
The regulations on shipping via air including provisions based on the State of Charge of a battery, so an uncharged (or minimally charged) battery would be able to be shipped. I may be wrong, but this seems like something that won't be an issue.
I was working with a customer today that was using opsworks to provision into us-west-2, and it was failing as well. Did the issue show up on the dashboard? Nope. Were they impacted in a DIFFERENT zone than what had the issue? Yep. As much as they would like to say, there were issues across the board as a result of the dependency on us-east-1.
The new license specifically calls out RDS, while the old license did not. It is likely the AWS provided licenses are handled on a negotiated contract, but this license change may result in higher RDS provided license cost soon as well.
I think you are correct, although the real looser here is Azure customers. In AWS, they now recognize the hyperthreading factor, which is offset by removing the cpu scaling factor. For Azure, they see the cores as full cores, and still remove the scaling factor, so I believe it is Azure customers using Oracle that will see a doubling of license, not most AWS instances. If you happen to use one of the few instance types in AWS that doesn't use hyperthreading (which I can't even find documented), you will be shafted as well. The wording of these license documents are very vague, and the new document should include some specific examples to clarify the use of this, using real instance sizes. The fact that they don't IMHO is on purpose, to spread confusion.
The tyranny of choice. Even with Maven, trying to find the right package to use can be a pain. Want to find a generic serializer that works better than the built-in serializer? That will be half a day of searching, testing and validating (for anybody who cares, I chose fst). Fewer libraries of better quality make more sense. In Java, you have libs such as the Apache Commons and Google Guava libraries that cover a huge swath of functions, which I suspect in node.js is covered by tens of thousands of packages, often with duplicate functionality.
I was keeping my personal belief vs. what you can take from this study separate. If it quacks like a duck, and all that, but if nobody else has looked at this, it IS POSSIBLE that he has found something medically interesting. We don't even know the ramifications of this result either, even if blood-flow is lower, could it be because the people are more relaxed, and that it is a perfectly normal level for people? That said, my personal opinion is that this is bogus.
