......misdemeanor terrorism. How does that term even exist? Is that like flying a Cessna into the World Trade Center instead of a Boeing 757? Agree with you there. Either it’s terrorism or it isn’t.

Isn’t terrorism the use of physical violence to further political means? How does this meet the standard of terrorism? I feel like if this is part of the official record some pro bono lawyer will be looking for a decent payday. I feel like

I’m not sure there’s anything intrinsically bad about this kind of service. I asked a friend who does graphics for NPR and the New Yorker whether she feels any attachment to her pieces, and she said it’s just work in the end. Not all softwa

Sounds a lot like instapainting.com, except artists come from India instead of China. Also sounds like the model works :) Best of luck!

This question might already be answered already, but who owns the built packages? Source code is released by license, but I don't know whether licensing compiled packages naturally inherit the same license from source. What would GitHu

Great blog post Jess! I think this is an extension of Kerckhoff's Principle that a secure cryptosystem should be able to keep your data secure even if everything (except the key) is compromised: https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2F

I think the slam of less user-friendly products, higher comparative prices, and worse customer support will make any company lose its luster. Apple's done all three, and unless there's a change in the ship's direction, it&#x2

I really liked this book! I don't think I want to post spoilers (like really buy and read the book), but I think he established an inverse relationship between how free a society is towards sex and how much actual sex people have.

I read this blog post in full and geez. Since the author quoted Guido van Rossum, I'll share a recent anecdote from my interaction with Guido at PyCon. I first met Guido this past Wednesday, I'm guessing after he attended the Pyth

I think this may be a great idea for indie software developers, like Timing or Standard Notes, in order to expand a particular offering. SaaS will probably rule for a lot of enterprise software, but there are always niches to be filled and

How does liability work in these cases? If you had a security breach due to this security incident, would it be Docker’s liability or yours? It’s probably in the terms and conditions, but I would think it’s your liability since you can host

Holy crap. The only way forward for Bessemer et al. VCs is to immediately withdraw their funding for this “company” and cut all ties in order to prove that they had no forewarning that this is how their money was being used. There are so fe
