sam, go take some time and read about the shoebutton complex

'bringing on a specialist security team' (i.e. better programmers who know what the fuck theyre doing)

i was not at all enlightened by this article and took most of the points as basic common sense everyone should have (but unfortunately everyone does not). the fact that the author had to come to these conclusions 'over time' means he's susceptible to being just another damn fool in the first place.

maybe a hotlink to the def in future articles. this comment got a dozen upvotes fyi

wtf is 'brand engagement'? does that mean likes and comments on a post? it would be great if either article spelled that out because if companies are just chasing eyes and clicks, that seems like a stupid game to play that could lose value as brand realize it doesn't necessarily mean conversions.

in layman's terms anyone?

exactly, another profitable avenue might be to sell out to the government to make bitcoin unstable. what's puzzled me most about bitcoin proponents is they think the US gov would sit idly by and just give up centralized control of the most powerful thing on earth.

here's how you promote it: focus on a very narrow market first because your current market is very broad and hard to attack. come up with one specific use case for this bad boy like invoices, and then narrow it even further, custom invoices for paypal, and then you have a tangible market you can start to attack, not an abstract one. my examples aren't probably the best, but you get the idea. excited for you!

the thing is to get some experience and momentum in getting a customer, which is very different than engineering code. lots of good will come out of it, and it will take you in directions you can't anticipate or imagine.

dude this idea is freaking genius. total no brainer

ugh just harsh - what a slap in the face to all the developers. unilateral crap.

eat it linkedin. You're a bunch of shitty jerks.

all of above

buy equal parts of IBM and John Deere. Come back in five years and watch your money double.

10 billion in "projected" revenues. I predict that I too, will make 10 billion one day. Of course, the prediction means little in the face of reality.

+1 for the reality that an untested backup is potentially no backup at all. it's easy to have a false sense of security about these things

if youre asking me personally what they did to lose my trust, it's all the things i mention and even some i didn't. i think the executives are creepy as hell, especially eric schmidt. have you read all the sexcapades stuff about him in the WSJ? Affairs with murdochs wife. She's pretty damn creepy herself. He doesn't think the laws apply to him, and most people would say, by now, that's true; he's part of the plutocracy and the laws don't apply to him. i say bullshit and that the laws apply to everybody. the stock decisions they've made to keep control away from shareholders, the sunsetting of products unilaterally. No, I don't trust Google at all.

the point of the article is that google has lost trust, and google+ along with strange, self-serving behavior of executives is how. that much is undeniable.

nice little jail overview

guy is such an idiot

his analogy is 100% spot on actually in how i interpreted the article. 100%.

you'll fucking survive man. this is a rough stretch, but you'll undoubtably have worse. hunker down and sweat it out.

theres a quality to the photos youve chosen on the carousel that is really striking and natural. nice site

nice answer!

i would love to give working with you a shot. i am a python guy, strong with .net and java who loves writing code and bulding apps with others. please contact me at jwheeler1 at googles email service.

I really like that you seem to already have a handle on your weaknesses. that coupled with your striving to understand where you fit into things will eventually build into the confidence of a strong engineer. the longer it takes, the better.

man, it sounds like they got you by the balls then. if theyre playing video games all day you should say, "hey guys, stop playing fucking video games all day" or something like that.

sweet man you are for that link.

have you ever considered the problem might be you? i mean, just your attitude that 12+ people have something intrinsically wrong with them seems a little far fetched, doesnt it? maybe you have a stupid idea, and youre developers are happy taking the money but cant stand your ideas or you. sorry to be blunt but if you think the problem is 12 other people, you probably need a reality check, fast.
