Very interesting timing of this release, amidst the turmoil at rival Open AI. I wonder if this is a clear play to capture enterprise customers who have been spooked by the drama.

SSN and DOB data is widely available for sale in the cybercrime underground on almost all U.S. citizens. This has been the reality for years, and was so well before Equifax announced its big 2017 breach.

Again, I find that this only reinforces the fact that SSNs are not a useful identification system because there's nothing secure about them. Can someone explain where attackers obtain SSN/DOB data with such a widespread success rate?

Really great news for Atom.

Upon its initial launch, most of the criticism around it pertained to it not being open source. I think we can certainly expect to see its growth overtake that of Sublime Text, and I'm interested to see how the community interest will stack up against other open source editors like Light Table.

Hopefully Atom may join the legendary ranks of Vim and Emacs.
