I'm surprised no one has mentioned the main practical benefit of EV certs: the fact that a green cert in the browser ensures that there is no man-in-the-middle network proxy/appliance intercepting the traffic even if a trusted cer

The idea of "distros" for python is interesting, and to a certain extent has already happened: just look at Anaconda. I've been using built-in environment isolation tools such as virtualenv for ages but have recently switched

I think this is because Google just doesn't do a lot of the data scraping in G Suite accounts that it does in gmail accounts. So I think it just doesn't have any stored "purchases" to show, rather the fact that the purch

Ahh, right. Good point. I wonder then if the current system was a deliberate choice over the timestamp method, or just deemed easier to deal with on their end.

Curious about the "unusable pipenv" comment. I don't know much about it, but been meaning to try it out due to the publicity it's been getting. Care to elaborate?

Ohh, right, RSUs. Never been at a pre-IPO company that granted those. So, if I understand correctly, people will be getting the full value of their grant, you're just saying that people won't be getting huge multipliers of their

Good point, but properly priced ISOs should have a discount of about 2/3rd the value of the preferred stock (as determined by the previous Series-* funding round) at the time of grant. So even if the valuation hasn't changed, most
