Why "drop" Dropbox? Just use it with client-side encryption, as you should have from the start. It's easy (on OSX): encfs ~/Dropbox/freedom ~/Dropsafe -o volname="dropsafe" -o noappledouble

Sites need to be able to update their certs without giving a scary warning to all their repeat visitors. Why? Why shouldn't sites be forced to announce these changes beforehand? Why can't we have a "defer all trust to $cert

seeing the padlock will only tell you Seeing the padlock has never told you much interesting to begin with. You have to click the padlock and compare the fingerprint to a known good one. Yes, nobody does that. And that's why SSL in

Enterprise firmware, when it has a soft fail, just croaks as fast as possible. That lets the raid array hurry up and do its thing, or maybe even higher level replication do its thing. Except that also only works "most of the time&quo

You are wrong. The second takeaway is: Check the last Backblaze report right before you buy new drives.

Even then, as I recall iTunes was widely bashed? Was? iTunes is still the same trainwreck that it was 10 years ago. Apple seems to work hard to keep it the same sluggish nightmare, no matter how fast the hardware becomes that it runs on.

It's esoteric because in reality it's the kind of bug that never happens. And if it happens it's trivial to identify the cause; "Oh, it hangs in the middle of a strack-trace, what could it possibly be...". Why would

Can we contrive esoteric situations where this feature would fail spectacularly? Yes. Do they matter in reality? No. Make it an optional feature to be toggled with an interpreter flag. People like me can turn it on, you can keep it turned

I often hear this sentiment (preferably harshly phrased) and agree with most of your observations, but what is your proposed solution? Should Germany act against its own interest and not export its unemployment?

Yes. Pedantically speaking his solution may be faster for the pathological case of the input consisting almost entirely of duplicates.

This is worth clarifying because all multi-nationals operate that way. Say Starbucks-France makes 10 billion in profit in a year. Then that year Starbucks-Luxembourg will send it an invoice saying "You owe us 10 billion for a license t

Just guessing, but maybe future drone models (esp. low altitude ones) will use machine guns?

Sorry, you are right, I missed that. Arguably your solution is still different because you sort the input instead of the output, but that's unlikely to matter here.

Your solution doesn't do the same thing, though. His code doesn't sort.

You could also do it in one line: cat file1 file2 | awk '!_[tolower($0)]++{ gsub(/^[ \t]+|[ \t]+$/, ""); print}' Does that mean awk doesn't have to worry either?

How about handing it to their receptionist as you check in? Who can of course store the data on their network, for the duration of your treatment? Not everything has to be put into global data-silos.

From what I see their API attempts to decouple two things that can not be decoupled; the creation and the signing of transactions (whether they are multisig or not). I'm not even sure what benefit that is supposed to bring, but appar

Yes, technically the transaction body does include all details. However, decoding and verifying a complex transaction takes about the same amount of work as generating it yourself to begin with... Their documentation clearly expects you to
