Hand of fate is moving and its finger points to you It throws you on the street; now what's next for you? Your options: worthless, and you're bound by NDA Pied Piper seems quite cu…

Can you explain a bit for us how "come work at a company that's actively laying people off" would be compelling?

CrashPlan. Not Cloudflare.

Likewise. I enjoyed my time there (well, until this blog post wound up on my radar!), but after a year it was time for me to go, so I resigned without much in the way of hard feeli…

Sure, but most CEO's tend to determine exactly what their public-facing position IS before speaking. In this case he looks the fool as they're walking back his statements.

Concur. "Here's a current business situation. Please stand by while I speculate wildly based upon that situation in isolation" is how this reads.

Very interesting that GCE wasn't mentioned on the slide of supported infrastructures at the DockerCon keynote today.

Fascinating. I wonder what the cultural implications are if this passes. Someone generally expects their peer group to make within ~20% of what they make, not "2x."

At least one log parsing tool I've seen in years past was vulnerable to log injection attacks. Hilarious proof of concept to own a box by way of PTR record. I haven't checked to se…

Pretty much "as a cautionary tale" is as far as I see it going. They pretty clearly fabricated results; in the healthcare field, this is the kiss of death.

"This hasn't gotten FDA approval yet, but be sure to ask your doctor about it!" is a bit of a non-starter. As a culture we're generally leery about "disruptive" startups that affec…

I agree, if you're able and willing to pay market salaries rather than 80% of market plus some ephemeral equity that you've no realistic possibility of realizing value for...

There's a whole crop of companies / people in this situation. I'm wondering if new hires register this as the glaring red flag it should be with respect to how companies treat the …

I think Siri is a great example of this. I've had it fail to work enough times that I simply don't think to use it, despite its improvement over the past year or two.

Dynamic image generation / hosting. I give you a baseline image. You dynamically modify that image and host it for me based upon (ideally encrypted) parameters that I pass you. Exa…

It was that column in iTunes that everyone immediately disabled / hid / mentally blocked out.

I wonder how their current and former employees view this decision. I further wonder whether or not people leaving have a 90 day window to either exercise or forfeit their options.…

It's very, very nice to see public retrospectives of something other than outages.

Let me guess-- they use Taleo?

I have no idea. I haven't seen the content before-- but when I show up and my first experience is a power and bandwidth draw, not only will I not pay for the content, I won't retur…

As a user, I'm requesting only YOUR content. I don't get a choice past that what your revenue model looks like. Your decision (or not) to host ads from various networks means that …

Exactly. Most people aren't in a position to waive their salary for a few years on the off-chance a moonshot works out.

I can see this. It tends to be the "safe" middle group between urban and rural while having none of the benefits of either.

I find myself consistently wondering why I pay money for a third party client five years into my use of Twitter (I was late to the party). What's more is that Twitter knows what I …

They did something very similar to this for their translate API. Realtime IRC client plugins that translated lines in foreign languages into yours in near-realtime went from "aweso…
