Your parents have had one shot at deciding how to save for retirement, at one time. They've had an extremely limited number of shots at choosing health plans. Maybe they have a couple of friends with weird, memorable stories about

The usual reflexive secrecy. Nobody gives out any information about what's in any product if they can avoid it. This has really bad economic and environmental effects. I don't know that this particular retardant is a big deal, b

Hey, Stalin may have murdered millions, but what has he done in the project itself? Let's stay on topic here. Not to mention that all the companies in that whole Tolkien-named cluster funnel money directly to Sauron. People get to pick

Because "high trust" involving centralizing a huge amount of power tends to work really well until it suddenly fails catastrophically. Which it tends to do on a scale around a human lifetime, sometimes a bit shorter, sometimes a b

Either encrypt it such that only the authorized user can read it, or require the authorized user to retrieve it directly. Or don't lead users to expect that you're offering any privacy. From the user's point of view, authoriz

So wait. You have a federated protocol that trusts and expects every instance to enforce a user privacy setting? That is, put simply, utterly incompetent shitty design.

I stand corrected. Still not sure I'd want to expose my SSH infrastructure to the massive kludge tower that is OpenID, but it not being its own implementation of the actual SSH protocol is a huge plus.

It has not safe to cross any international border with your phone, at least if you haven't wiped it, and it hasn't been for ages. Which isn't to say that it hasn't gotten a lot worse in the US recently.

1. They are giant assholes. 2. They're idiots. 3. They're weaklings who have no idea what real strength looks like. 4. Their political base is about the same. That's not an "or" list. It's "and".

Sounds like it isn't a big deal, but even if it were a big deal, I still think it'd be important to mention that THAT LINK IS ABSOLUTE HOT GARBAGE . We don't need links to content-free marketing press releases on here.
