I'm trying to figure out a way to articulate why "I still want my $20K" seems to me. The way this whole thing was handled stinks, and I'm sorry you got screwed by a poorly thought-out "contest." But it seems li

I'm having trouble figuring out which part of this is sarcasm, but I can't imagine anyone but a child could boil this whole thing down into "Someone is rich, I want their money."

>You know who else does that? Everyone. I think I agree with you, but this rings false. The main (only?) way to effectively lobby the government is with money -- which gives the wealthy far more leverage. If one side is saying, "Cho

I'm not affiliated with this company at all, but I think it's worth pointing out that Open Whisper Systems is the nonprofit responsible for Signal, the "Snowden-approved crypto app."[1] No idea what it'd be like to

This is pretty simple to do outside of die-hard "continuous integration" shops -- most of the time I can just do git rebase -i HEAD~4 (where '4' is the number of little dumb commits I made) and squash them all into

I made my point less clear by trying to be concise. I just meant that in a lot of ways the influence of the United States isn't limited by its borders.

Starting everything "earlier" but not changing the time makes no difference. If I go to work when it's dark, I don't care if we call it 7 a.m. or 8 a.m.

To be fair, with LE you do need to verify you're requesting the cert from the domain for which you're requesting it, so there's some validation. It would be really difficult (for me, impossible) to get a Let's Encrypt
