spost··on Dead enough
Honestly I don't believe I'd have a problem with this. If the odds of my living are less than the odds of my organs allowing someone else to survive…

There is of course the issue of trusting people to make that call for me, but I'm pretty sure I trust an awful lot of people to not kill me unreasonably.

spost··on How Apple’s iCloud Drive deletes your files without warning
I see you submitted this a while back, it's a shame there wasn't much discussion! Seems like a neat idea and (to my naive knowledge of cryptography) a solid implementation.

Why?
spost··on LastPass Security Notice
I dunno, I did. I used the same password everywhere, and then I got a password manager and started generating passwords. Granted, it may have been the case that it was my desire for stronger passwords that drove me to use a password manager, and not vice versa. I honestly don't remember.
spost··on LastPass Security Notice
Technically, a 1Password vault contains a "1Password.html" file that essentially loads up a browser interface to your vault. This may or may not meet your needs, depending mostly on whether or not you're cool with carrying around a thumb drive with your password vault on it.
spost··on SlideMail – an email app that can think
Not OP, but I look at this not as trying to solve email overload and privacy, but as trying to solve email overload with the nifty side benefit of being more privacy-conscious than many of the alternatives.
spost··on SlideMail – an email app that can think
Ditto, I would love a well-designed alternative to Mail or Airmail.
spost··on Exempting popular apps from data charges is anti-competitive
The article calls out AT&T and Sprint for their programs, thought I'd mention that T-Mobile has something similar going on with their Music Freedom program: http://www.t-mobile.com/offer/free-music-streaming.html
spost··on Why I Drilled Holes in My MacBook Pro and Put It in the Oven
Just a note to anyone here who may be having this problem: I had an early 2011 MBP, the GPU died three times in three months. Apple charged me $300 to fix it the first time, did it for free the second time because it was still under repair warranty, and then replaced the machine entirely with a brand new 15" MBPr the third time. Obviously, the fact that it failed three times in as many months is unacceptable (and probably uncommon) but if you're struggling with this, do set up a genius bar appointment and see if they can do anything for you.
spost··on Mobile showers for San Francisco's homeless
The best part of this reply is that you posted it after his thorough and perfectly reasonable explanation of his circumstances.
spost··on Why Asus trackpad driver sets the CPU speed at maximum during scroll
I'm a bit out of the loop, what's gone wrong with ThinkPads?
spost··on Hacker's Guide to Setting Up Your Mac
Just curious, what's wrong with Homebrew? I'm just a student, not a full-time developer, but I've never had problems with it and find it pretty pleasant to use.
