It's literally the perfect way to do this. The large number of people account for each other. And since police murders in the US are so common, people would glaze right over the headline. An assassination with no witnesses would stir up more questions.

This sounds like it was an assassination attempt. I'd move out of the country.

I use SMBSync2 (android) to back up my photos daily to a network drive. Then I created a nightly job that mounts an encrypted drive, syncs the photos, then unmounts the drive. Finally, I just created a job that uploads the encrypted drive to the cloud. This way I have an offsite backup of my stuff. It's a good feeling knowing I have an encrypted backup and don't have to trust a 3rd party service.

I've been slow upgrading my Windows over the years. I stuck with XP Pro SP2 for a very long time. I wish I could still use it. Now I'm on Win7 and probably will be for awhile. It seems every other Windows version sucks. I'll let Microsoft try out their idiot moves while I stick with more mature releases.

The foreclosure was inevitable. I bought too high about 8 years ago and my house is really old. It needs more money in work than I'd ever make back. Such is life I suppose. A string of hard-earned lessons.

I was laid off new years. I've been doing development for 10 years and specializing in salesforce for 7 years. I haven't found the right position yet, but I know I've been burned out for a little bit now. I've been considering low-paying metal-working jobs, but the sad reality is unemployment pays more. Unemployment runs out in June. I'm kinda indifferent whether I find work. I've started the foreclosure process on my house. This may be the perfect time to just take some time and explore the US. So while I haven't found work yet, the work I have done has put me in the mentality that that's ok. Thanks for reading.

Probably peanuts to any 3 letter government agency.

I've written C# for the last 10 or so years now. I was a lot heavier in C# the first 5 years until my career changed paths. So I've gotten to watch C# "from a distance" for the last 5 years now and I'm optimistic about C#'s future. C# has an image problem. Of the programmers I've talked to, the polyglots usually see the strengths in C#.

Metal Fabrication. I've actually been taking metal classes for the last 6 months and just finished my first pair of motorcycle foot pegs on the CNC machine last night.

Sadly, there will always be tech workers willing to do this for the right price. As I get older, I'm starting to wonder if not following my "tech morals" would've brought more success.

I thought it was already well-known and assumed Skype has backdoor(s) in their software.

I was always able to completely ignore the naysayers because it's a lot easier to judge than create. Still, it wasn't enough for success. I discovered it's the process of creation I really love, not creating technological things specifically like websites and apps. I recently started metalworking. I get the same satisfaction of creating, and at the end of the day, there's no button that will "delete" what I've created. But it's just something I do in my spare time. I'm also starting to believe that once you go from "hobby" to "job," you end up hating it because it's something you HAVE to do. Not something you WANT to do.

None of my projects went anywhere, and eventually, I gave up. I used to have the rosy view that with enough work you'll get there. That's largely untrue. You also need to know the right people (connections) and be very lucky. I hate to be a downer, but you don't often hear this side of the opinion.

Recent to me is the last few years, technology-wise. Your timeline may look different.

Why's that? I understand the message would increase in size because of the encryption, but I think it would be technically feasible now. Didn't even apple just introduce encryption into their messenger? My issue with apple's encryption is it's closed source and apple only.
