humancontact | 12 years ago | on: Why I Don't Drink
Pretty much all teas, juices, sodas, and almost everything else that I have tasted. I can only remember that, besides things containing ethanol, I can't seem to like coffee.

I just don't like the taste of alcoholic beverages, and therefore I don't drink them.

What if instead of a Google API, this used a Duckduckgo API? What if DDG forked this to their own use?

I think lauradhamilton's point is that "familiar with the matter" is too subjective.

> two people familiar with the matter said
As much as Snowden has shown us the amount of effort NSA puts into this kind of stuff, I think we need more evidence than this article is giving.

Due to its global importance, even if its security record was impeccable there would still be a huge incentive to constantly audit and test OpenSSL.
It is critical for the future of the Internet that OpenSSL (or any alternative that might show up) does not have any other Heartbleed bug.

Unfortunately there's no division as to where politics is allowed to interfere. From Wikipedia[1]:
Politics is the process observed in all human (and many non-human) group interactions by which groups make decisions, including activism on behalf of specific issues or causes.

There's something scary in this experience. You're conditioned by years of Tetris to expect that sweet gratification, but it never comes. All your errors will haunt you forever, and you will never get any reward for your achievements.

Then I'll signup with Google because its the one I most likely have a valid cookie, but I probably won't rely too much on this service.
humancontact | 12 years ago | on: Which option do you choose to login
Yes, it is kind of tiring.
Even if the app asks only to fetch basic information, I think that I shouldn't go through them (Facebook, Google, Twitter) to assert my identity, since I don't pay any of these companies for this service, I can't trust them to keep my best interests in mind.
I feel that there should be a way for me to be my own identity provider, and email has been the closest I've got to it.

Just imagine the irony when this game gets pirated.

Email, because I don't feel Facebook/Google/Twitter gives me the ownership of my virtual identity.
