"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 prosecutors, will be very interested in what you

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 often that I mistype a URL while using my ph

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 standard CMS, to the client, where it is most likely

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 would be to play a long game of sorts by requiring people t

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 like, or set up an e-commerce site to sell it yourself

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 press is really trying its damnedest to bring

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 motives, especially in contentious subjects such as this on

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 offer?

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 wonder people are curious about who might have started all th

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 resource. I'd love to pick up a hard copy were I still li

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 sleep when I want to, that's stressful too.

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 blocker cause the CPU to do less work in most cases si

I'm a big DDG fan too. I don't really notice their results being "worse" than Google's (but maybe that's just because I haven't used Google for so long). The Bang feature is also very handy once you get in
