Re:A Family Who Sold Their Belongings for Bitcoins on Thursday November 09, 2017 @07:38AM (#15661869)
Not the parent, but the way in which Bitfinex paid everyone back was extremely dodgy[0]. They also decided to help themselves to 15% of everyone's BCH after the August 1 fork[1]. I don't understand why anyone would trust them.

It didn't include the domain no.

I've used digital ocean droplets for some things for a similar $5 a month price, but it hardly seems necessary for a static site. It's much less faffery to just upload some files to S3 and click some buttons in the AWS console to configure everything.

I also used Hugo for my site - https://testloop.co.uk It's so simple.. and FAST. It's hosted on AWS S3 with CloudFront & Route53 so it's not free, but at a cost of around $1.20 per month, it's not far off.
I agree... but, your reputation matters. In this city (Manchester), everyone talks. You won't last long as contractor if you're rubbish.

And even if you managed to get in somewhere I imagine you'd be found out and binned pretty quickly.

"I am not changing any of my passwords. I think the probability that somebody saw something is so low it's not something I am concerned about"

So... just cross your fingers and hope nobody saw anything then? The way they're casually downplaying this incident is outrageous.

Re:Encrypted email is still a pain on Monday February 13, 2017 @11:36AM (#13636560)
It works seamlessly/automatically between protonmail users and you can also send encrypted mail to non-protonmail users - they receive a link via email that they need a password to access.

You can also export your PGP public key and receive encrypted email from anyone else too.

This drives me absolutely crazy. If I'm forced towards downloading your app I'll simply go elsewhere. Its ridiculous to expect your users to download a 126MB app (Tripadvisor's current iOS app size) and grant it all sorts of permissions just so they can search for a hotel once a year.
