   Thanks. Secure enough to store out in the open (e.g. public git repo, etc)?

   For filters I use Sieve [1] (comes with Cyrus Imap and I believe some others like Dovecot). There are a few plugins for roundcube that provide an interface for managing sieve rules [2], [3]. I tested both linked below and both worked, but t

   I have Roundcube setup on my web server just for backup, so rarely use it. Just upgraded RC from 0.5.4 to 0.8.5 (upgrade script worked flawlessly) and I am amazed at how beautiful it looks (I actually thought the old version was slick). IMO

   I self host my personal email and have to use gmail at work. Spam is actually the one thing that I find gmail weaker at compared with self hosting. My nearly stock Postfix setup with a few basic anti-spam settings, rejects about 80% of spam

   Do you have any you could recommend? Last time I went C-corp because I was certain my company will be a great success, ended up switching directions a couple of times, then ran out of money and took a job. Thinking about another go, but thi

    Yeah, I agree, one of my interests growing up was martial arts and I went as far as competing as an amateur kickboxer. When I eventually came to the crossroads of either turning pro or focusing on purely intellectual pursuits, I chose the l

    I played soccer growing up and some of the hardest hits I've taken to the head were from heading soccer balls. There have been studies confirming this. One example: http://www.newser.com/story/157592/soccer-heading-may-harm-b...

    I work with someone who spends way too much time (IMO) making sure that he's not wrong. Typically this involves not taking a stand until the results are in and then claiming the position all along. Or simply lying about his position. After

    Sounds like the key is to let people work where they want. Some people want to work out of the office, others from home, others from coffee shops, etc. Perhaps making work from home mandatory would be just as bad as requiring physical 9-5 p

    That's a fair point, but using checks has its own issues, no? For one, it can take forever to get one, so I think makes sense for larger payments from established clients. What about a use case where a new client wants some emergency work d

    I disagree also. Their process is fine with me and very quick. I haven't had to contact them in a while, but when I did, got fast, intelligent response. StartCom/StartSSL is a breath of fresh air.
