I have a theory:
- Bots don't show up as Linux, they spoof Chrome, iOS, etc.
- Since this service filters out bot traffic, it is removing non-Linux traffic.
- Hence, Linux share is actually much higher than is generally reported.
Clear the 'Desktop/Laptop' filter and it gives share on all platform types. I think the difference in numbers may be due to this service is measuring only browsing activity.
It also removes 21% of traffic detected as bots, so that may also have an effect.
I agree. Exchange failure is generally something separate from "market risk", and is sometimes categorized as "counterparty risk". With bitcoin, counterparty risk with exchanges is a very real thing, and an added risk beyond what would be considered "market risk" (i.e. asset price fluctuations).
My primary issue with Ethereum is the Turing-completeness.
The more capabilities a language has, the more likely it will be compromised. Complex contracts will continue to be exploited like the DAO, which will put a damper on Ethereum's growth.
Speaking of defaults, if you install Mongo on EC2 using a default instance of Ubuntu using the default engine, Wired Tiger, you will get ceaseless server crashes. Wired Tiger is NOT STABLE on the default volume - ext4. You have to use xfs.
+1 wrt to the twit conversations. Leo & Steve Gibson on Security Now have regularly spoken about wosign, and it's the primary reason why my antenna immediately perked up when I saw the headline.
As a general note, the content on the TWiT network is superb. I love the great ethics conversations that are had on TWiG (This Week in Google). I've loved listening to the "coming out of the wilderness" progression of Mary Jo Foley & Paul Thurrott with regards to Microsoft on Windows Weekly. And Security Now is my guilty educational pleasure, as its greatly expanded my knowledge of security issues and topics, which have served me well over the past few years.
The part about taking pictures of stones and his current venture at the end are less appealing to me but the discussion about the early days of Apple, and generally his view on technology is really interesting. There is a long part about AI.
The only podcast I listened to for years with any consistency was FLOSS Weekly. This later exposed me Security Now, This Week in Enterprise Tech (TWiET on the set! I love the catch phrase), This Week in Law (which zero of my law school and lawyers friends address when I send them good episodes), and recently Triangulation.
In the new era of Software Engineering Daily and Changelog, as I see Leo Laporte as the godfather of podcasting. I disagree with a lot he has to say, but I respect him greatly and dream of meeting him one day. He is one of my heros.
And Leo: I use Emacs, and no so much Perl. I have nothing to interview for, but I can answer to your favorite question with at least half of your favorite answer, if you read this somehow!
Steve Gibson will go into levels of detail that amaze me. The podcast on Rowhammer is a perfect example - down to the minute details of how VMs store memory pages...

It IS the year of Linux!!
