   I think you misread the UI. It currently has ~270 signatures, and needs the remaining 99730 to reach the threshold.

   Disclaimer: I know virtually nothing about bitcoin past what I've read on HN. Bitcoin are uniquely identifiable by nature. Has there been any attempt to create and maintain a manifest of "tainted" (i.e., stolen) bc that could be reference

   Thanks for reminding me of TaskWarrior, I'll take it as my annual reminder to check it out :-) My entire life--from work and home projects, to future someday/maybes--is in OmniFocus, and it's been irreplaceable so far. > It's also worth

   I have the same frustration with the Scala koans (having had my expectations set by the Ruby koans).

    "Checked in but not viewable" is called a private repo. If it's a public repo, don't check it in. I don't think Github should try to create a manifest of all "dangerous" files. Really, best practice is to not check in sensitive values to yo

    `rails new foo` generates a `.gitignore` file. That's where this belongs.

    The scores are a measure of effort. For reach, it accumulates the effort of reaching away from the home row. For alternation, it accumulates subsequent keystrokes with the same hand. Raw is the sum of both. So yes, lower numbers are better,

    A while ago I wrote a small program[0], that measures effort to type a passage with different keyboard layouts. It accounts for reach and alternation. I just added Colemak in response to this discussion, and from the texts I include in the

    Even when the brand is as big as PayPal, I think that the OP's point stands. When you "Pay with PayPal," you are generally using your PayPal account. You don't need a Stripe account to pay, so you're not paying "with Stripe." PayPal is the
