Yes, but here you aren't sharing the picture to the public, you're sharing it to a specific person.

But that's like a "favorites" list. What's the point of showing the member list of an album if technically everyone is a member?

The same is true for a document, someone could just download it and share it out somewhere else, but Google Docs does not work like this. In fact, this UI is basically identical to the Drive UI, including separating the functionality of cre

Firefox keeps getting better on mobile. I've been using it for several years now, and it's always been usable, but it's been hard recommending it to other people as it was significantly slower than Chrome. This is no longer t

That's basically irrelevant to the point the article is making. The article's basic gist is that RSA implemented perfectly is fine, but that actually getting to that perfect implementation is hard and there are an incredible numbe

Well, `echo > file` won't empty the file, it will have a newline in it. At the very least you'll need `echo -n > file`.
