To add to the suppositions: perhaps the author was afraid they may get bitten by their own malware and designed in a weakness as a backdoor in case they lost access to the key server and needed to decrypt their own drive.

See the "web" link at the top of the page? Open that in an incognito window, then click the WSJ article.

Or management is very receptive and they have opportunities to point out what does and doesn't work, and the things that don't work get addressed. Once something is addressed, you tend to clear it from your mind unless the place i

FYI: there's a "web" link at the top of every HN story that lets you do this without copy and paste or bookmark shenanigans.

I assume most times people submit a "Show HN" (or now "Apply HN") that, if not explicitly stated, there's an implicit "and please give me feedback" tacked on to the end. Sometimes feedback can be blunt and

GitHub supports SSL for *.github.io so you can have your custom domain with SSL on CloudFlare, and CloudFlare can proxy https://example.github.io/.. . on the other side. eg: End User <--> https://example.com

That's one option; they also offer strict SSL on both sides of the connection: https://www.cloudflare.com/ssl/

Maybe that's a Firefox bug? Not having to redraw a section of the screen should consume less CPU, not more.

It wasn't a crushing backlog in the sense that the number of outstanding tickets was increasing. Rather, the backlog was at a steady 250 even when they were adding new customers every month. All it takes for a team of people to get thr

I'm fairly ignorant in terms of the science behind this, and one thing in the article raises some questions for me: > Sea level has risen a lot — 10 to 20 meters — in warm > periods in the past Presumably this is in the

Of course, but a great team can adapt their product to meet the market demands and will execute well. A poor team, on the other hand, likely cannot come up with a great product or, if they can, will execute poorly. After all, if they have a
