    I'm not sure why there's so much negativity in this thread. The listed requirements were already basic table-stakes security standards. IMO, anyone not encrypting all user data at …

    That’ll end up in an arms race where you refine the gibberish to be more and more believable while the crawlers get better and better at detecting poison wells. The end state is wh…

    because one doesn't tend to get drunk on pie and then go beat up your wife or run over a pedestrian with your car. Is it biblical? No, but people rank sins by social impact out of …

    And has Optum conveniently forgotten to ship refills, but only for the expensive drugs? That happened to my wife on multiple occasions. Or maybe they've rejected refill requests un…

    Another is that it looks like runme is written in Go instead of python. It's a single executable I can drop onto any new machine instead of futzing around getting a particular pyth…
