No idea what his business model is. That said, my b2b saas company ran our first 5 customers with old skool paper invoices and checks, doing 6/12 month pre-pay. CC processing fee's can really eat into early revenue like this even.

I catch myself almost saying things like this to customers all the time. I think its a dunning-kruger related component of engineering humility. Constantly have to watch my words and think in marketing language.

There is nothing here to prove that he perjured himself.

From the article: In January, Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) asked Sessions for answers to written questions. “Several of the President-elect’s nominees or senior advisers have Russian ties. Have you been in contact with anyone connected to any part of the Russian government about the 2016 election, either before or after election day?” Leahy wrote.

Sessions responded with one word: “No.”

Justice officials said Sessions met with Kislyak on Sept. 8 in his capacity as a member of the armed services panel rather than in his role as a Trump campaign surrogate.

“He was asked during the hearing about communications between Russia and the Trump campaign — not about meetings he took as a senator and a member of the Armed Services Committee,” Flores said.

Unless they can prove that the meeting was related to the election then it seems unlikely that this was perjury.

I would counter C, in that arguably sex education in school is infinity more thorough now than it was 60 years ago. If anything this shows that more sex-ed lowers sex. Also porn 'in some form' has been around for a long time but there is no way you can argue that is has ever been as ubiquitous or insane as it is now.

I know the article explicitly and consistently says 'encryption' everywhere. I simply cannot fathom that they were encrypting instead of hashing. While I suppose it's possible that the SHA-1 versions were encrypted, I refuse to believe that the dropbox security team would transition from that to bcrypt 2-directional encryption over bcrypt 1-directional hashing. With that assumption I find it safe to say the tech journalist is being inaccurate.
