    "Sealed" implies the record is reasonably inaccessible to the general public, but still easily accessible to law enforcement. When you are arrested, law enforcement, and especially…

    No, it is entirely true.

    Trump is hardly a Tea Party favorite. If you're thinking Trump supporters and Tea Partiers are one in the same, you misunderstand the goals of one, if not both, groups.

    How much would I have to pay you guys to keep Tina Fey and Amy Poehler the hell away from me?

    I've been a T-Mobile customer for about two years, and they've been doing it for at least that long as far as I can recall. It hasn't bothered me that much since it's not very ofte…

    > the content reaches the customer faster. Does it? Is it really slower for your customers to download a server-generated page than for them to download a static page, (probably) d…

    Using JS to present data moves the work of generating the display of that data from the build process, as with "pure" static site generation, or from server-side code, as with a st…

    There can certainly be value if you think that teaching others what you know is more valuable to you than making a (larger) profit. Altruism is a thing. Another way to give it away…

    A standard self-published e-book model, which sort of combines many of the options you mention above, is along these lines. First, put the e-book up on Gumroad and/or Amazon or the…

    Interesting, but I would still try my best to just keep sensitive data out of the repo rather than commit an encrypted version of it.

    This. It's sort of like the "The Apple Watch is a failure!" articles when the Apple Watch has outsold every other smartwatch combined. Sometimes it kind of feels like the dinosaur …

    There is no such thing as an unbiased scientist. They are human, after all. Whenever you read about scientists reporting on X or discovering Y, you should absolutely consider their…

    My thoughts exactly. If someone were to phonily offer Hawking a cartoonish sack of money to write a report about black holes, should we be shocked when he shows interest in the off…

    Nakamoto has made a huge splash in the world of finance, at least in certain circles. That he remains anonymous even after doing so adds quite an air of mystery. Is it really any w…

    And of course the initiative has a cute mascot character, and of course the book has a manga section. Japan, keep on Japanning. Seriously, though, this looks like a really great re…

    It does for me if I have it in excess; say, more than 30 ounces of coffee in one morning. If I drink coffee or other caffeine sources too late in the evening and then can't get to …

    Ah, is that the differentiator? I see. Still strikes me as somewhat arbitrary, though - is content blocking such a strenuous task that it requires a 64-bit CPU? Wouldn't using a bl…
