I received the "Migration Complete" email and now minecraft.net login gives me this https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/login?error=InternalServerEr...

...the rollout is not that "good"

Same. I learned about thorium reactors a few years back from Kirk Sorensen. Purportedly, thorium is safer, readily available, and produces less radioative waste. "Kirk currently serves as the President and Chief Technologist at Flibe Energy..."[1]

Being mainly a Linux CLI user(ie. no `undo') I'm perfectly fine with not searching the trash.

+1 for without distraction

Logging out when finished with an online service is good practice. You should do it too. (and don't make fun of her) :-)

I wonder why hemp fiber didn't get compared independently. From a quick internet search: it is one fiber used in Tencel blend. I think hemp scores better on land usage, but not necessarily in the other categories. Is that your take?

Actually, I do(almost always). But, that leads to it's own set of issues. My banking session timed out before I finished reading it. Another service I've been using for over 10 years just added new legal that I don't agree to... now what? That service has a network effect... so, I have to leave? drat! Truth is, most online services ask for more than I am willing to concede. That is an issue.

I fully concur. Find your first reference today(mayhaps, someone from your parish).

Most of the project work I have secured has been based on communicating my abilities while meeting with the hiring party. I'm sure it would be different for a designer, but I have never shown a portfolio. I agree with others, go for small companies, gigs, and sell yourself in the meeting.

So, I am part of the 1%! Gosh, I didn't even know...

Typing class has been replaced by computer classes. I think it's an eventual reality, albeit a slow process.

Nuture their curiosity.

After showing my children how a Caesar cipher works(on paper), I left them an encoded message. They decoded it and then left me a message in return :-) While this isn't programming, encryption is a solid CS topic.

We've covered the binary numeral system and logic circuit diagrams(again on paper) and various simple programs on the command line like: output a message 1K times in different patterns. The engagement comes with asking them questions like "what do you want the message to say?" and "what do you think it will look like if we add another space? or another tab?".

We've tried some online resources like hourofcode.com, scratch.mit.edu, tour.golang.org, codecombat.com. Minecraft command blocks allowed them to try code written by other people, that was pretty cool.

As others have mentioned, it was all spontaneous and organic. It felt more like playing then learning, like "check this out" or "here, let me show you something".

All the topics and online resources were short lived. My children(11yrs, 7yrs) are being exposed to logic and programming in a piecewise approach.

A friend just asked me about a service like this; I will share your platform with them. (btw, the number of channels stated in your blog post does not match the numbers on your pricing page.)

"Basic email analytics: opens" I'm curious. Have you figured out an accurate method? I've seen various flawed attempts (like an embedded image). Nice and clean website.

short answer: no, it's not secure

longer answer: look at the last script tag in the demo page, it exposes the encrypted HMAC string, the encrypted HTML text, the encryption method and even the library used to decrypt. You can easily brute force the passphrase

...or better yet embed some code in a popular web page and have the netizens brute force it for you (distributed computing).

In general, client side obfuscation is difficult to perform securely as it shares too much information to be secure.

While I agree with the substance of your comment, let us be clear about the difference between deployment and usage.

Entities investing in roadway leases and toll roads align closer to wireless deployments, IMHO.

Wouldn't driving on a road for a few minutes correlate closer to making a phone call or sending a text?

(I can't believe I am perpetuating this analogy :P)

Please, check your service contract before running for a month at capacity. A call from your ISP may be preferable over a bill from a tiered residential plan.

Uncommon advice. I like it! I am going to try it. Thank you.

hmmmm... Diaspora would fit my (paranoid) requirements if every account was hosted in a unique pod on the local device. But, that's just me.

Diaspora is many steps in the right direction and looks like a great alternative to fb. (Slightly disappointing to see support for non-privacy oriented social networks being baked-in. I guess that's a strategic move.)

Fascinating read! I am enlightened.

I believe there is room for a private social network that is peer-to-peer, encrypted, with no central servers and an open spec. It would make my world a better place, but I don't think it can be monetized. (Maybe donations? non-profit?) Also, privacy breaks down when you run a client on Windows 8 or above. :-( I think a lot of tough computer science challenges are inherit in this model. And yes, there is the network effect dilemma, but I don't require mainstream adoption to use it.

the hidden option?

They can live there quite happily for some time.

Can you comment more on the Call-to-action button. Does the button at the bottom of the page get the most clicks? Thank you for sharing your strategy.

On point. Seems you value honesty as much as I do.

btw, I haven't altered my behaviour. Just can't forget the experience.

Agreed. I applaud cnbc for linking to Steve Blank's article "why Tim Cook is Steve Ballmer"

Years ago... I managed a 1MM retail shop in San Francisco; worked too many hours. Needed that "mental health" day off. I informed my regional manager. Within the hour, he called me back and said "next time, just lie to me. tell me your sick".

I'm not entirely sure what transpired. I assume he had to report to higher-ups(and it didn't go over well?). But, that experience has always stuck with me.

In general, I am honest & don't swear much.

As long as Windows 10 continues to establish unsolicited tcp connections on boot, there is ZERO privacy.
