Good to know, but really I don't care if they send my email address to every other registrant. I run a public web server, I already receive junk email that must be filtered, so I see no problems. It has zero impact on the free certific

But they don't explain why, and warnings are overdone due to litigation fears, so people will often use their own judgment, and without understanding the concept behind why, they may choose unwisely. "Take all of the prescribed me

There used to be a difference between scripters and programmers. I'm a scripter, and it feels similar to learning a natural language and writing essays in it. In other words, it's easy and doesn't require any mathematical ski

The response to his death is creepy to me, like "His name is Robert Paulson". There's so much misinformation, and misuse of his death for ideological and social purposes unrelated to the actual person. The fact that someone m

I don't think most people creating websites today have an accurate assessment of "user expectations". Often I'll visit a site that has a gigantic video playing, with some obscure symbols, that doesn't even work on a

I don't know what any of those things you named are. I ignore all that stuff. The only thing from the '90s that doesn't work anymore is Flash, because I guess Apple blocked it during the mobile revolution and it killed its do

I don't think "Sharing is good" is true in the real world. If you apply that as a blanket statement, you'll end up in trouble. What is legal is not always ethical. I think there's an interesting story there about ho

Common Crawl contains the HTML? I wonder how this is legal and considered acceptable. I wish I knew how even Google and others get away with scraping content, saving it, and utilizing it for profit without sharing any revenue with the origi

I see this as a directory of self-centered egotistical people who feel like they're important and want to flaunt themselves. It gives me an icky feeling and I wouldn't want myself listed there. Is this website normal and I'm

I feel like I've been seeing more celebrity type stuff on here lately. I guess I would've been more impressed if the comments were about an actual project instead of a personality. If this project is interesting enough to be on th

This was research? I saw a romanticizing of celebrity musicians as cute little kittens, where it went on and on about, "Aww, look how adorably sensitive they are." For one thing, anyone who trains in music develops a heightened aw

You make it sound like "If you're a criminal, please talk to someone. Call 1-800-CRIMINAL and tell us your crimes. It's time you got help, by being locked up."

That's what I would do, stay there. I wouldn't be a dick about it though, I'd simply explain that I don't mind being pat down, but don't want to be scanned for personal reasons. If it was obvious they were going to

It is not a concern at all for me, because I can run that command from a user that does not have privileges to mess anything up. Those options make it not even attempt to read or write any web server configuration. All it does is create the

If you can't trust a CA not to prevent their official client from becoming malware, then I don't see how you can trust them to maintain their position as CA. There is no real scenario where the official client is discovered to be

If you don't trust the official client, why do you trust them to be your certificate authority? Also, note that I ran this command as a normal user, not root.

That looks like a lot more work than the official client. I don't get why so many people immediately on the first day of public beta turn to alternative clients. I used the official one, and by looking at the --help options I easily fo

Not me. Donations are a much worse business model to me than ads. With ads, I offer free information they want, and free information about unrelated products and services they may or may not want. Either way they get something free, and I g

Finally! Maybe now someone can build a web app that enhances the reading and discover of documents. Each browser could be a repository of text files, each with an address, so you can have words in the text pointing to another document'

Paying thousands? It's $5 or less per year for a certificate like the one Let's Encrypt provides at other sites.

Phoenix appeared at a time when web browsers were bloated, and it was refreshing to have a minimalist app that simply browsed the web. It wasn't that potential was being stifled; other browsers had too many features. It was that we cou

Netflix was TV ad-blocking for me. I hated TV and stopped watching it for many years. Then when Netflix came around, I discovered that TV production had greatly improved, and it's the ad interruptions that was poisoning the art, making
