What benefit do company like Google / Yahoo / Microsoft / amazon get for giving away cloud space for free?
I am surprised at number of people giving away free space to store your documents and photographs. What is the benefit they are getting?
How are they making profit? Microsoft has $65 billion in sales.

I hate activist journalism. But last week, I was responsible for the death of a startup. It was probably the fastest death in the history of the tech industry: four hours from launch to deadpool, by my reckoning.

RE: Amazingly screwed-up installation experience

The FOSS version/ripoff is called Godot. Honestly, it might be good, who knows.
And yes, "install in AppData" is programmer code for, "Vista UAC came along and we're too fucking lazy to fix our 20,000 permissions bugs."
And yes, game developers are the worst and game *tool* developers are the worst of the worst. If you want a laugh, try out RPG Maker.
That is reminding me, that default installation for oracle client or (ODP .NET) is App folder. So it installs to "c:\app\Nagesh\" and my friend "Rajesh" cannot use it. -

I keep a seafood free diet. But not because I think it's unhealthy. I just have a problem with food that tastes bad.
Seafood needs to be eaten very fresh for it to be good; its quality drops rapidly as it loses freshness, and it easily becomes actively hazardous to eat if not stored correctly. The warmer the ambient environment is, the faster the decay. -

RE: "PCs are dead and Microsoft is a goner, everyone will soon upgrade to a tablet/phone/Chromebook"
Is windows phone open? Can I LOOK at the internals of that phone software? Most likely not. Android is step in that direction of open source powered phones. Of course Android is also not full open powered. For that we might have to wait another 20 years, but right now it is closest to open than the iPhone and Windows phone.

I would just like to add: I'm on my second Android phone. It is so awful that I'm pretty sure my next phone will be a dumbphone. Seriously, I would rather use a Jitterbug than deal with Google's half-baked shit anymore.
Windows Phone blows away iOS and Android right now. Blows them completely out of the water. But nobody will give the OS a chance, because it only has 47 flashlight apps instead of 47,000.

I'm assuming when they say "secure FTP" they don't actually mean "SFTP". Because that's actually secure.
BTW, there are approximately 4434,324392 file-sharing websites now that let you securely share large files and are about a bazillion times easier to use than FTP. Maybe they should join the rest of us here in the 21st century.

RE: 12c and Java8
For folks hating on sequence columns, oracle also has identity column introduced in 12C.
-
RE: 12c and Java8
After 998 records, it will be have two records with 999, unless I specify a primary key and then the insert after that will simply insert a record with id = 1000. Also this example is from Oracle's documentation.
@joe.edwards said:

@Nagesh said:
From 12c database, it is possible to have the sequence directly in the column definition and thus saving ugly triggers.
Here's the office example:
CREATE SEQUENCE t1_seq;
CREATE TABLE t1 (
id NUMBER DEFAULT t1_seq.NEXTVAL,
description VARCHAR2(30)
);INSERT INTO t1 (description) VALUES ('DESCRIPTION only');
INSERT INTO t1 (id, description) VALUES (999, 'ID=999 and DESCRIPTION');
INSERT INTO t1 (id, description) VALUES (NULL, 'ID=NULL and DESCRIPTION');SELECT * FROM t1;
ID DESCRIPTION
1 DESCRIPTION only 999 ID=999 and DESCRIPTION ID=NULL and DESCRIPTION
3 rows selected.
So after 998 more default insertions there's going to be a collision with the 999 record you inserted? Brillant! -

Wouldn't be surprised if that were true. Either the system went down cleanly, and a DBA is on hand to verify the database and start it up. Or the system did not go down cleanly, and you really want a DBA on hand to verify database integrity before you bring it up.
We're going round in circles, here. Why would your massively expensive Oracle database not simply come up in one piece on a restart? And if it had a minor problem, why should it not be able to repair itself? MySQL can. SQL Server can. And, to be honest, Oracle can, too.
So that's not a reason for Oracle not to ship service start scripts.
And I need to call a DBA every time I restart a server? I don't need to call an Apache guy, or a jboss guy, or an IIS guy, or a SQL Server dba guy, when I start any of these systems.
There is no excuse; Oracle should provide service startup scripts...
Oracle does not want amateur people to mess with settings. So you must call DBA and pay his fees.
Finally! - an honest answer!
(Assuming, of course, that by "amateur" you mean non-Oracle certified, non-Oracle approved people...)
Yes. You're right on track. -

Including the password in the token sounds like a bad idea. It also seems unnecessary.
And you don't say anything about MAC. Are you using an AES mode with built-in MAC?
You're right, see my new post. It's been years since I implemented this system, so I honestly don't remember if I included the password or the password hash-- but using the hash instead seems like a no-brainer, so do that.
(Including both user and password/passwordhash is necessary because my load-balanced servers have no shared sessions.)
I don't know what "MAC" stands for in this context.
Ok. including a HASH instead of the password is a good idea and I am liking this already.

RE: Secure API - Best place to put the username/password?
@pjt33 said:
@blakeyrat said:
My API has a call that specifically does authentication-- the caller uses it, passes in their user/pass (over SSL of course), the API checks this and returns to them a token. The token consists if: the user's username, password, the max date they're authenticated until (an hour, unless they checked "keep me logged in", in which case it's 2 weeks), and some other basic info (for example, what client they belong to, whether they're an administrator for that client.)
Including the password in the token sounds like a bad idea. It also seems unnecessary.
And you don't say anything about MAC. Are you using an AES mode with built-in MAC?
Any other idea? Please put them in my thread!

Clicky for my personal method. Disclaimer: may be stupid, but so far I've explained it to a lot of people and a lot of people haven't found any problems with it.
Ok. I am going to attempt to translate that to some English I can understand.
Say you have a windows server domain adp (call it what you want).
On this server you have got username: BlakeyRat password:Clicky.
Now in order to generate the token, I will take username + password and create some kind of hash. To keep stuff simple, if say I use Caesar encryption method and come up with simple token. This token will look like EODNHBUDW FOLFNB Then I add current date time to this. So it will look like EODNHBUDW FOLFNB 17-APR-2014 06:44:36 PM
Then when I receive this token, on the server I will decrypt it and confirm that it is indeed Blakeyrat who is signing in.
Is that the general idea of this game?

Identity Tokens - facebook/google/flickr
I have seen software that generate a token.
The token is generated if user name and password are correct.
Then the request made is signed with the token.
Then the token is valid for certain period of time. Based on token, the webservice is able to identify user.
So how are these tokens generated? Any idea? -

RE: Secure API - Best place to put the username/password?
@Alex Media said:
If you're running on IIS you can use this handy tool to disable all the insecure block ciphers. Then use SSL Labs' testing tool to see how well your server is configured.
For authentication, just use what's already available in the HTTP stack: WWW-Authenticate. Digest authentication will probably work just fine for you, and is easily understood by whatever system is going to communicate with your API. If you don't want clients to submit username+password combinations, you might want to consider implementing API keys which are sent along with your request (for examply, by using a custom header). The advantage of API keys is that they can be revoked by the account owner or the support desk when needed, the disadvantage is that it needs more time to implement this and that it is a potential attack vector (it depends on how guessable your API keys are).
