Is there really a reason this couldn't be made to work on Firefox? Or could they just not be bothered?

You mean the ICO?

For anyone wanting to read more about this, here are some articles and data from the Climate System Analysis Group at the University of Cape Town.

This article explains the severity of the drought, and calculates that the return interval for a two-year drought of this severity is 1150 years (!), which mostly absolves the City of blame for not anticipating it: http://www.csag.uct.ac.za/2017/08/28/how-severe-is-this-drou...

Here, you can see an interactive plot of rainfall in Cape Town. Highlight 2017, 2016 and 2015 to see the reason for the current crisis: http://www.csag.uct.ac.za/current-seasons-rainfall-in-cape-t...

Addressing the scaremongering by the City around "the new normal": http://www.csag.uct.ac.za/2017/11/01/is-cape-towns-drought-t...

Describing the difficulty of forecasting this drought: https://theconversation.com/why-cape-towns-drought-was-so-ha...

In practical engineering (on circuit diagrams, bills of materials, etc), you almost never see the "Ω" symbol. "K" is used for kΩ, "M" for MΩ, and "R" for Ω (as in 330R is a 330Ω resistor).

It's nothing to do with programming language design.

Well, there is http://www.ohwr.org/

"I have a standard agreement that all my clients sign. If you aren't willing to sign it, here are some other freelancers I can recommend."

It looks like all URLs in plain text on the page are being rewritten (eg. from Amazon.com to Amazon.com.prx.uk.teleport.to). URLs in <a href="..."> fields are not, but only if they point off the domain you're visiting.

Though it's certainly a valuable number to know, I'm not sure a huge "TIME WASTED WATCHING TV: x DAYS" is what people want from a TV watchlist. (Whereas this would be a valuable feature in a productivity app.)

Likely it is just a throwaway.

If nothing else, this might remind those who see it that you can leak private keys / passwords if you put then in source control.

Chris Poole described having this exact problem, in his recent post about 4Chan being hacked - AWS keys in the commit history. (http://chrishateswriting.com/post/84931829578/when-a-bad-day...)

I compared the author's Github username and the submitter's HN username and assumed that they were the same person. Though a private message is probably still a good idea.

Probably best not to upload your private key to Github!

Can you recommend any books or other resources from which someone mathematically inclined could learn the theory behind this?
