I also didn't mean fancy design. But in your 'startup ideas', in the idea #16, you said Google has no sense of design, so I suppose that the people responsible for it (Google founders originally. Marissa Meyer with a team of designer now da

Thanks. Maybe it was lost in translation, but by Design do you mean appearance (like in graphical, interface, industrial design) or architecture (like operating system design)? If it's the former, I hope you don't get offended by it, but I

Amazon could provide both a wifi and an EVDO connection. Wifi chips probably are very cheap on scale these days. If the EVDO connection is available in their area, great. Use that. But if it is not, users can figure out how to set up the wi

I don't know if this already has been answered before, but how do you evaluate if a candidate has a sense of design?

Is there something like a census with the percentage of workers in each profession for those times?

I think a netbooks's screen is too small to use it as a convential desktop. This just got me thinking. If Apple is rumored to launch a Netbook and a Ipod Touch with a bigger screen, maybe they are going to launch both in the same device. Th

Jeez, this sounds good, but if people here are like me then they already have about 5 books on their list that they want to read. I don't know how many would commit Read? Who spoke about reading? I thought we would discuss the books witho

I wonder how much time it will take until human brains can be inspected like that. It would be an interesting tool in job interviews.

Removing the last 8 bits or, by the way, the whole IP address from the user log data DOESN'T make it anonymous. http://tinyurl.com/l8rfm "Yahoo will also hide cookie data related to each search log and strip out any personally identifiab

You used the word indie at the first comment, but I interpreted it as startup, because this discussion is about startups. Most startups aren't indies. For instance, Plentyoffish.com was a ONE person startup not so long ago with revenues of

You don't need to hire consultants to have a process. You just need to buy a book or read it for free in the internet. You just need to think about the security implications of what you are going to to, do it keeping in mind all that could

That is because english is not my native language and I didn't know how to explain it better.

That is why I have placed that introduction. If this news recommendation site is being constantly hacked to the point in which it has more malware than a porn site, then the developer should consider making it more secure. Otherwise users w

You can interpret formal process as systematic process. The logic for each answer is this: Answer 2. If you claim to care about security, you should understand the security implications of what you are doing and you are an expert. You can t

As multitouch screens becomes more common, users will want an experience more familiar with the real world because the interface becomes more concrete. And 3D interfaces, even inside a 2D screen, could improve the illusion of that concrete

Poll: Does your startup try to write secure software?
5 points by Haskell 18y ago|16 comments

by Haskell 18y ago
Yes. We have a formal security process, which includes threat modeling, secure programming and core reviews. We also use metrics to evaluate performance.
26.
by Haskell 18y ago
Yes, but we don't have a process. We are security wizards and we write secure code even sleeping.
27.
by Haskell 18y ago
Yes. We don't understand much about security, but we have an "ad hoc process", which means we try to avoid a few bad practices if time permits.
28.
by Haskell 18y ago
No, but it will certainly hurt in the future. The code base is plagued with flaws and some bad security architecture decisions are being done. It will be very difficult to modify later. I wish we would care more about it.
29.
by Haskell 18y ago
No, who has time? Security is not a priority. If someone discover a flaw that puts our costumers at risk we can correct it as soon as possible. And with a good crisis management we can avoid a PR nightmare if any user was affected.

No. Our users don't care and nor do I.
