If you want to be notified when your SSL certificates are about the expire, or when there's something wrong with them, I'm building a SaaS that will keep track of these things for you: http://www.domainsquire.com/

The competent software engineer would understand that spending a week implementing a buggy, ill-optimized version of the algorithm would cost more than the purchase price could ever be (unless it's a ridiculously high price like $100K)

It surprises me how common it is, which made me build Domainsquire to fix it. As today's event shows it even happens to the big boys, and this is a predictable, pre-emptively solvable downtime event, so it really shouldn't happen.

A side-project I'm working on will alert you when SSL certificates are about to expire, preventing these things from happening. It'll also show you a overview of all the expiration dates of your certificates and domains, updated a

Inflation isn't some magical unknown force. Every comparison of historical value includes inflation adjustment. Of course prices rise over time, of course currency devalues over time. Everyone is aware of that. What is this 'real&

Interesting - is your site earning more than $1K a month? Just trying to gauge if you're big enough to get in their (human) crosshairs for more specific checks, or not.

Using regular paper ballot, you can force the voter to take a picture of his vote before he puts it in the box. It's that simple to put pressure on someone voting by paper. Oh, you can get a new voting form after you mark and photograp

In danger of feeding a troll - our arguments are not that it's been that way for thousands of years, but that it's part of our nature as self-expressed beings, and that the thousands of years of history and spanning all cultures i

The fact is people wear makeup in spite of your stated facts, and have been for thousands of years. Makeup is just one part of how humans express identity, and for me it's on the same level as shaving, doing my hair, putting on a nice

There's a service that does something like this: http://www.knowroaming.com/ It basically acts like a local SIM while you're roaming, including getting a local phone number.

Not common, and using anything other than 4 digits is not wise if you want universal support especially when travelling - 6 digit cards are not 100% compatible with every ATM/card machine because some (most?) only allow 4 code entry. I

Why are the price tags universal across all stores and all states, and centrally produced? Or if they aren't, surely each shop can print out their own price tags and add the appropriate tax then.

Off-topic, but I've had this question for a while: Are anglo-saxon people against cursive writing, and why? It's the only writing I was taught in school (block-letter writing comes automatically afterwards) and whenever I write, I

You have bigger problems if you need to recover from backup once a year.

That's ok. When that happens I'll gladly pay a premium to get my data fast. That should only happen once every few years though.

I'm using Crashplan now but when my subscription runs out I will switch to Arq+AWS Glacier. I'm currently around the 300GB mark for backup space. Using glacier this would cost me $3/month, about $36/year or half as much

It's not true at all that it means the majority is interested in it. If I check out some bitcoin submissions, they seem to have from 50 to 600 points. There's tens of thousands of people viewing HN every day, so that's hardly
