   Ubiquity is itself a message. Each font has a personality that effects the impression of a work. So there's no escaping a work sending no message at all, except by not meeting deadlines. :)

   Isn't the goal that the refactored AR code is basically cleaner, which allows AR query caching to be more mergable? Not asking for the same thing twice (or N-1 or N^2-1 extra times) if has to go over the network is a good thing. Databa

    ARPU vs CTLV doesn't compute. This is like déjà vu, circa 2000 when I was watching the {{decent}}.corp ticker hitting $60/share after 3 splits. If anything I don't feel that Justin Frankel and "Mr. Wonderful" made o

    Props for Aaron's continuous work on mature optimization of Ruby & Rails. I recall his yeoman's work on Ruby dtrace probes and Rails initialization time.

    Thanks. The WoT depends on not trusting the keyservers, but trusting that humans on the other end know whom to trust and get them to countersign each other's keys. SSL CAs:GnuPG (GPG/PGP) -> Subversion:Git

    Another enormous hole in app privacy is that mobile devices tend to store location and compass bearing in addition to handset model in every photo taken with the camera . So if you run a web or mobile app, scrub these on receipt by re-ra

    The point of SKS is signing keys each other's keys and being distributed. This just fragments into a SPoF service without making the existing ones better.

    Accessibility should not introduce a SPoF. What happens when Snowden uses it and the USG requests access? Oops. Businesses / nonprofits cannot provide privacy-as-a-service unless they're "SWAT proof" (distributed). Advan

    I don't see how this is any better than a keyserver and just asking confirming their GPG fingerprint by some other means. Not knowing someone and guessing that their fingerprint is right from some third party is very sketchy because i
