This is a valid argument against open source operative systems running top clearance environments such as the military / police / government agencies. If this modifications had gone undetected for a few months, it's possible that the compro

"A truly intelligent person understands how little they actually know" This is one of those statements that really bother me, almost as much as someone telling me I need to prove the non-existence of God if I want to be an atheist. Yes, int

I once met Roberto Padovani who is the CTO of Qualcomm. He is an alumni of my university, UMass Amherst, and he had come to give a talk. We bombarded him with some really far fetched questions in information theory and signal optimization a

I don't think it's that simple. First of all, risk cannot be measured, so the fact that a person takes as much risk as they can bear is incorrect, it's all an illusion. I think it's easy to look back at let's say, Facebook, and say that the

I completely agree. I didn't mean to say that enterprise products do a good job at this. I was just trying to point a case where it is really important to adapt to all user groups.

I agree. You build a tool to solve a problem, not for the building sake. And if it turns out the consumers are using your tool for a different purpose, it is in your own interest to understand this new use and optimize your tool to fulfill

I completely agree that increasing time at a desk doesn't mean much in terms of productivity, specially when the activity in question involves a lot of mental effort. I like how this article talks about time spent working: http://www.joelo
