Mark Zuckerberg: “I Committed Every Possible Mistake During My Early Days of Facebook”

At the Townhall Q&A
session at IIT-Delhi in India,
Facebook addressed many
questions asked by the students. Stressing
on the importance of controversial
Internet.org, he said that connecting India
is very important and fulfilling the aim to
connect the world isn't possible if we
ignore India.
One of the questions that intrigued Mark
Zuckerberg was related to his early days,
when he started Facebook. A girl from
IIT-Delhi asked Mark to share his life
incidents and decisions he took during the
early days at Facebook that he regrets
now.
Instead of talking about one single
incident or mistake, Mark said that when
we build things and take new paths, we
commit mistakes. Similarly, during his
Facebook journey, he has committed lost
of mistakes.
"Mistakes are part of professional life. I
have probably made every possible
mistake possible. You learn with trial and
error. You shouldn't be afraid to make
mistakes," he said.
He added, "More than avoiding mistakes,
it's important that if you do good things, it
should inspire you to do many great
things."
He said that he was inspired by his own
hard work and the idea to make
something that will connect the world.
Mark further added that starting a startup
isn't an easy task and you should do it if
you are passionate about something and
changing the world. He advised the
students to avoid thinking about some big
company when they are taking the
decision to start a startup.

Zuckerberg inspiring? Tell us in the

Dangerous sex Positions For Men

The most common cause of pénile injury is found among the variety of potentially dangerous positions used for séxual intercourse. The most popular is the ‘woman-on-top’. This type of position can result in an impact between the pénis against the female pelvis or perineum that can easily traumatize the pénile cylinders. A pénis becomes érect when the lining of the cylinder within it is engorged with blood.  A pénis fracture can occur when there is trauma to the eréct pénis, resulting in a rupture of the cylinder lining. This very painful injury is often accompanied by an abrupt, distressing cracking noise that is immediately followed by dark bruising of the pénis due to blood escaping the cylinder. In ten to 30% of pénis fractures, the urethra is damaged and blood may be visible at the urinary opening. Given these signs, an injury should be relatively simple to diagnose, right? You would be surprised, even with the unsettling sounds of a fracture occurring, many men...

Google Authenticator, a formidable layer of protection to your account.

​Google Authenticator is a free security app that can protect your accounts against password theft. It's easy to set up and can be used in a process called two-factor authentication (2FA) offered on popular social media services like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.  The app ( iOS / Android ) generates a random code used to verify your identity when you're logging into various services. The code can technically be sent to your phone via text message every time— but the Google Authenticator app provides an extra level of security.  SMS-based 2FA has a  known security flaw , and any devoted hacker can attempt to  socially engineer  an attack against your phone company.

AWS Battles Rivals: Advertising Campaign

Amazon Web Services has defeated IBM in a competition for lucrative federal contracts, threatened Microsoft's core businesses, and reshaped corporate technology. In the last few months, the pioneering cloud-computing unit of the online retail giant has taken a page from the playbook of some of its more traditional competitors: It started advertising. Ads have been splashed across billboards and in airport terminals, television spots and web videos, featuring a whiteboard full of sketches of software architecture and appeals to invent something using Amazon's collection of rented computing services. The advertising campaign, which bears the "Build On" tagline, represents a milestone in AWS' march from technology upstart to one of the major players in business software, technologists and marketers say. For many years, AWS didn't advertise, partly because it didn't have to. The service held a wide lead over the competition, and word-of-mouth was enough to...
