Thank you. This was the most constructive reply I've received.

I do acknowledge the issues raised by OP; my quote: "...exposing and criticizing the very issues you mention."

I read the original comment as a generalization that the US is grouped in with those other countries due to these issues. My reply was simply to refute that primarily on the fact that we have the ability to discuss and solve these issues that those other countries do not have. It is an important distinction in my opinion.

Maybe I misread the intent - it appears from some of the fiery responses I've received that may be true. :(

I honestly don't feel/think I am being defensive here. I've even asked for correction if I am wrong. I'm not asking people to "guess" what I might be thinking, hence the discussion.

Correct me if I am wrong, but you appear to believe that because I stated we have the freedom to have an open and critical dialogue around these issues - something one is unlikely to have in N. Korea, etc. - that I am implying we do not have these problems. That is not what I had stated.

No one is claiming that it invalidates the others.

To group the US in with the likes of N. Korea and China is dishonest and inaccurate. If the US were run by either of those governments, you would not have Jon Oliver, Washington Post, etc. exposing and criticizing the very issues you mention.

Of the hotels I've viewed, it appears the images are hosted on TravelNow, which (I believe) is owned by Expedia. If that is the case, they are probably using EAN's API for part or all of it.

> We are all adults, can't we just sit down and talk and sort out issues?

I really wish this were universally true, but many of us deal with the wildly different personalities of our co-workers and bosses. This leaves some uneasy and insecure about sharing even constructive feedback. I don't think surveys are the answer, but for some it is much easier to take those than try to tip-toe around.

Grass doesn't grow on a busy street...

Yes, but that doesn't imply they're justifying a financial cost. It could be that they need to justify creating a new repo and figuring out how/where to host it.

Not how I read that.

>So, one big reason for not moving Krita's development to github is that I simply do not trust them.

>We cannot be forced by a venture capitalist to monetize our projects by adding malware installers. We own our stuff, which means we can trust our stuff.

Whether you agree or disagree, they did in fact make an argument.

What if I want to have this authentication process on my email account itself? :) The only other option (soon to be available) is SMS. Seems a bit too limiting and maybe not completely practical.

Hmmm... 8GB max? That doesn't cut it for the amount of claims data I generally deal with. Any rationale behind that limit?

You've obviously never been to Coeur d’Alene. It is a vacation destination for many up here and I don't think there anyone would consider it a haven for neo-Nazis.

Regarding this Submit Bill section:

Maybe I'm just overly paranoid - having dealt with medical claim data for years has re-enforced this though - but isn't it walking a fine line with HIPAA to accept individuals' procedure codes? It doesn't even appear to use SSL/TLS, so I doubt this is HIPAA compliant. I know a name isn't sent over, but it can be trivial to identify someone via their IP address, right? Why not at least go that extra step to protect this information?

Additionally, how do you make sure the information (ie. payment amount, etc.) is accurate?

Also, doesn't seem to work correctly on Win7 Chrome).

This seems to fail when people do whatever they can to keep that person from merging and, sometimes, resulting in minor accidents.

What is so well-designed about the site? I'm no designer and I am not being cynical - I'm genuinely curious because, to me, the site is very similar to many others I have seen today. It's possible I don't have an eye for the details here, but I really don't see a huge difference.

Ex. http://electricpulp.com/ http://spigotdesign.com/ ...

The ones with the people walking around outside or working at the cafe are fine, but yes that sleeping woman one makes it seem very creepy. Poor choice by the design team.

I assume the author will be adding and updating this over time. This may just be a start.

"i don't have friends"

Literally, some [new] human contact may help him tremendously.

Interesting read.

I have to say that not only do you have a very good product/service, but I am constantly impressed by your engagement in it and apparent commitment to your customer base.

I was questioning the accuracy/legitimacy of your assumptions around what "[m]ost of the English-speaking world" think.

I don't necessarily disagree with some of your points, but you are asserting your own opinions as fact. Do you have any sources to support this? I personally think there is a distinction and it is important to be known.

It's not entirely clear from that entry whether he worked directly for the CIA or through a subcontractor - which, I think, is a distinguishing point Nrsolis was trying to make. Any other sources that indicate he worked directly for the CIA?

"Internet founder"?

It's not like she was denied treatment - I think that would qualify as barbaric. I do agree that we need a solution in the U.S. to provide necessary medical care without prohibitive cost to the patient, but let's not resort to hyperbole.

Criticism, disagreement, and debate bring about more awareness on the topic and generally invites people to derive their own thoughts and opinions on the subject. For that you should be thanking him rather than shaming them.
