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 feelings. I'm not at all pleased to discover today that we (

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 see whether fail2ban suffers from this model or not.

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 affect our bodies surgically...

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 people that got them to where they are.

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. Example use case: I send an email that features a thermom

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.

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 return to that site willingly. This becomes a problem f

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 from my perspective, I visit your page and suddenl

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 follow, what I read, what I like, and what I retweet. S

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 "awesome" to "just kidding, nevermind" virtual
