Sensitive info I have in DropBox is TrueCrypt-encrypted, so not an issue for me. I'd never trust the cloud completely.

I use channels to single-file data to a SQLite db. Data gets pushed into channels from multiple users / locations of the web app. A single goroutine (concurrently running function) reads from the channels one channel at a time and, for

Storing in another city or house is too much hassle for me. A buried drive (waterproof container), and DropBox, both storing only TrueCrypt-encrypted files except for pix. If the NSA still reads it, oh well it's non-incriminating anywa

I ruled out GAE due to the vendor lock-in issue and reports they raised their prices 3X+ on short notice.

Or they might bump up the price 3X+ with short notice, like they did for the App Engine.

It was $6K just for cremation? Or you had other costs?

Wouldn't he have to become a citizen first, or at least have a job there, not just be a tourist?

Not so much an issue now with ObamaCare. If you can afford it you can be covered regardless of job circumstances.

Nice! How can end users be confident their username/password for their banking site will be kept between them and their bank? (I'd be reluctant to enter those anywhere other than the bank's own site.)

Was there an impound charge for the bike, or other processing fees? If so, that might explain some motivation too.

Because it's much faster than other languages at its difficulty level. Which can save a lot of money.

Well 3 years of imprisonment and torture before an indictment isn't considered unconstitutional in the US, apparently (e.g. José Padilla). So we're a long way from Canada's state of enlightenment.

I'd say half the population never question laws. If they even know the Constitution they still believe that every law is constitutional, and judges who strike down laws are "activist judges". This type of person would've

I'm willing to throw those babies out with the bath water. I've been to too many hotels that were fine, where every reviewer with only one review had nothing but awful things to say. I find that to be too much of a coincidence.

Reports of bed bugs is the giveaway to a competitor's fake review for me. Almost always such reviewer has made only 1 review.

It would be like a passerby finding your door continuously wide open, stepping into your foyer and shouting to let you know, you weren't there or didn't respond, so he told your neighbor to tell you. Then you call the police becau

For enough severance money I would hold them in good regard! I'd take a chance on letting something disparaging slip to someone who could get it back to them with proof; odds of that are nil as I rarely talk about my past jobs.

Think of it as the opening of a negotiation. They want you to do or not do something, now what do you want in return? You get bribed for working, after all.

I'd sign a non-compete clause for enough money in return. Same with a non-disparagement clause, especially if I had nothing bad to say. "Give me 6 weeks severance, instead of 2. Then I'll gladly sign it."

I'd rather have more national parks than space exploration. But yeah, no pointless wars would be nice.
