Based on the history of communication with Gruber, they should probably assume no reply means it's NOT okay... but then no progress would be made, ever.

That's also $50/mo minimum to use a custom domain. Github's static page hosting is free.

> commit history, push log, and all issues and pull requests A force push will still show up in the log. Issues and PRs aren't deletable, so that lends a bit of credibility to this…

It's not throwing him under the bus. It's distancing him from the investigation. That's both to protect him, in case things favor his story, and to protect the company, if it turns…

How? Easily. If you're investigating the matter you want to distance all parties involved from the situation, so that they cannot influence the outcome. If Julie was still employed…

This may sound extra paranoid, but I've locked myself out of 2FA'd accounts before and recovery is not fun, so I go out of my way to keep the recovery codes secured but available t…

You could just use the SMS option instead of the app one when you turn on github's 2fa. Then no 3rd party will have access to the secret.

I do believe using Dropbox for distro is against their TOS.

> should be producing small files You'd be amazed how even small zip files can quickly make a repo an unruly monster. Tread carefully if you take that route.

That's using the zips github generates for every repo, not the downloads section of the repo.

When github says "We are disrupting how software is written in the enterprise", the very first thing that comes to my mind is not catering to companies that won't give up IE6.

That went away some time ago, when the latest redesign of the page was put up.

When you are just starting out and have no real leverage in the deal, sure. But it sounds like the GitHub guys were the ones holding all the cards in this deal, maybe they made sur…

Did you at least try to contact their support? If "someone is in on it" and they're all laughing at you already, yea, nothing would happen. But what if you're just making assumptio…

HN has a rather specific audience though. Reddit and 4chan have a fairly general audience in comparison.

Indeed, this was pulled how long ago?

I would guess that github doesn't consider themselves legal experts and does not want to get involved... if they comply with the takedown they get immunity from liability here. The…

You should report to security@github.com next time.

Users can add a pledgie donate button to their repos: http://github.com/devinross/tapkulibrary Looks like it's bigger than that signup button too...

Indeed, GitHub's terms even state "GitHub does not warrant that ... (ii) the service will be uninterrupted..." If uptime was a serious factor for you, you'd probably pay for an SLA…
