Out of curiousity, what is a purpose of using a separate 'vault' for email if the entire disk(where email is stored) is encrypted?


Because block encryption doesn't help you if your machine is compromised by software, but project-specific vaults might.


ditto


I dont know, its not broken for me: I cant tell you how many times ive compared prices for something im looking at to Amazon and placed an order right there if the price difference was significant enough.

Where does Rockerbox source the products it sells? Is it simply a mobile facade for a shopping.com API or amazon referrals?


Amazon is great for getting a pricing point of comparison - can't argue with that. In fact Amazon is great if you know exactly what you want to be / for finding the best price. I'd argue it's not the best place to find what you want.

We source from each individual retailer. No APIs.

Im not sure I understand your argument: are you saying that amazon mobile suffers from item availability and/or discoverability?


Primarily discoverability.

For example, if I know I want a new iPod dock - sorting through all of the potential products and processing all of the information associated through each one is a lot of work. Amazon doesn't do a great job of making this process simpler.

Availability is also an issue with clothing in particular.

The title of the article actually mentions "Small Businesses". I went there thinking it would help consumers somehow.


Given Zendesk is a Rails shop, Id love to hear if this hack was related to any of the recent Rails exploits


If it was, at it occurred after the vulnerabilities were made public, they probably wouldn't say so as it would look pretty bad given the amount of advance warning they had.


Are you suggesting most popular rails (if not all) apps are upgraded by now?


No, but he's suggesting that you should've upgraded by now. It would be difficult to defend such a position: "We didn't upgrade because, well, we didn't think it was a big deal"? There's really no good answer to that question when the exploit has been public for so long (and widely covered in media, and by rails officially).


No, he's suggesting the ones that aren't are run by incompetent people.


If thats the case, there are so many incompetent people.
