what differentiates a 'cyber database' from a 'database'

I love it. "If I stick to the story relentlessly it'll HAVE to work!!!"

There are too many names on that list - not to contact, but to trust. To everyone that you give secret advance notice, you're potentially handing a zero-day.

Okay, so you've backed down from "You'd think she would have disclosed that" to "I would prefer she prefaced the article with that". I'm content.

> You would think someone commenting on such an important and controversial story in tech like this would fully disclose that she is in-fact friends with Emil and worked with him?

She did! You quoted it in your post!

> You don't agree?

No, I don't. You're searching for some total order ranking function where there isn't one. People love who they love and a lot of that is based on proximity and shared experience. I demonstrably care more about my dog than I do any random child in the third world, as demonstrated by the fact that I fed my dog this morning and I haven't donated to a feed-a-child-in-the-third-world charity today. By your logic, since humans rank higher than dogs, am I morally obligated to exhaust my financial resources helping needy humans before I can take care of my dog?

Ah, given that context, that makes more sense / comes off a little less nefarious. I think it was mostly the references to forgetting an anniversary, trying to repair the relationship with a heart-to-heart by candlelight, etc., that took it to a kind of weird place for me.

Thanks for the link and the context!

This was really funny up until the prolonged domestic violence joke at the end, which kinda threw me off. Product of its times, I guess.

I'm sure you know, but you can just clone from bitbucket, then push it to github. You keep all your history and everything. I can dig that there's friction, though.

What parts of the overall ecosystem do you consider a necessity for private repos?

Luckily you're a programmer, and can easily change a python script!
