Raise your hand if you have worked hard building an honest product that does what it says, only to see another business rise up to claim the same thing but based on smoke and mirro…

I've also seen Source-Nexus, that has plugins for Pro Tools as well as VST/AU, and you can make multiple named drivers. It would work pretty well with Loopback it seems. https://ww…

Currently in the mobile space everyone is behind at least one double-NAT at least, and you can order business level access for your wireless data account and get an IPv4 address al…

The NZ ad mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wwXfAFQoh8 (NZ isn't a large country: those roads probably ran to the same town anyway).

It's about the patents. "while OpenH264 is not truly open, at least it is the most open widely used video codec" http://andreasgal.com/2014/10/14/openh264-now-in-firefox/

Yes, thanks to the open source H.264 codec from Cisco. This is about open source options and I think Firefox's decisions are completely valid. https://gigaom.com/2014/10/14/h-264-s…

Chrome supports its own streaming method, MPEG-DASH with H.264 which is what Youtube runs on where possible. Firefox stated it won't support H.264 on principle (although it does no…

Hipchat uses XMPP so you answered the parent's question perfectly. Slack, I believe, created a custom protocol.

Ah yes, Florence Foster Jenkins being the famous example [1] who was wealthy and hired Carnegie hall for a concert, in spite of being tone deaf thought she would sing Mozart's diff…

No Stream API support for example http://caniuse.com/#feat=stream

Media players: browsers don't have native support for H.264 over HLS or RTMP, and MPEG-Dash seems native to Chrome only. If the browsers could accept these natively, this would cer…

I'm not sure what stops EasyTaxi from working in the U.S. I use it in South/Central America and it routes regular taxis, you pay in cash like usual but get the convenience of the U…

Working holiday visas are not permitted once you reach 31. You must apply and enter the country before you are 31, I believe (it may be 30).

Finnegan's Wake is packed-full of self-referential meta-data and has a highly coherent structure. In this sense, it's relevant to the discussion because it may appear to have been …

That's the correct behaviour. It's supposed to be patched in El Capitan by default.

The patch works. I now have 2 patched systems and I've instructed my team to run the patch immediately on every mac.

Thanks for clarifying: I was able to find the vulnerability on the unpatched system with: $ ls -al / (etc) -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Aug 6 06:46 this_system_is_vulnerable So I can …

Is there a test to determine if the patch is successful? Edit: as noted in Esser's blog [1]: $ EDITOR=/usr/bin/true DYLD_PRINT_TO_FILE=/this_system_is_vulnerable crontab -e I found…

YMMV? I have much more business engagement on Twitter than Facebook. FB could disappear tomorrow for all my business cared, but I would certainly notice Twitter not being around.

From my experience, the defining parameter is now the timezone difference (or, working hours kept), rather than distance.
