I'm not entirely sure why Firefox is being specifically targeted here. The pages that Opera and IE8 throw for self-signed certs aren't much less scary.

"First of all - you should disregard unusual personal experiences if you don't know of any way to repeat them." I disagree. Experiences are not always under your control and therefore you can't always repeat them even if they are true. This

"And how can one avoid coming across as a know-it-all when talking with folks who are ignorant of science?" I don't see any way that science is incompatible with god. If science shows that something is false (eg. the age of the earth) then

This is hacker news. I think that we are all here to learn. We all have different levels of expertise as well as areas of interest. I'm personally not working a full time coding job yet because I'm still in school and I still have quite a b
