> wget ... --no-check-certificate

Why? Oh why?

But it's downloading stuff via HTTP, so certificate verification doesn't help that much.

I personally prefer to use curl whenever possible (don't blindly do curl | sh though) ;-)

Fixed, thank you.

This video from 31c3 explains some reasone why it's not that simple. The speaker is the author of the OP.

According to the FAQs they use Stripe.

My fault. Indeed they submit to stripe. Sorry for the mistake.

r4w8173 · on Nov 2, 2016

The form was pointing to their own website.

Why GPL v2?

I felt that it most accurately represented my intentions for the software.

Have any examples?

Wow, I know Google knows a lot about me, but apparently it can predict that I'll use Telegram on March 15, 2016 at 4:53 AM!

(Either that, or my phone briefly had a very incorrect time setting.)

I don't understand this comment. "predict" "March 15, 2016". It's already 4 months past that date.

Whoops! It actually said 2061 but my fingers autocorrected that for me :/

dredmorbius · on July 6, 2016

That (or rather, 2061), is 2^32 seconds from an epoch date of 1925. I'm not familiar with any systems that use 1925 as epochs.

For Unix, it's Jan 1, 1970.

For DOS, I believe it's Jan 1, 1900, though with a leap-year error (there is a Feb 29, 1900 included that shouldn't be).

For SAS (statistical software), it's Jan 1, 1960.

Apple should use the Unix Epoch.

Curious.

Strange, I also have an entry from March 13, 2061.

I think it refers to the background radiation increase due to atomic bombs, see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-background_steel

Edit: a nice plot https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Radiocarbon_bomb_spi...

When archaeologists give a date in years Before Present (BP), they measure from 1st January 1950. I guess that makes today -66BP.

I wouldn't have guess such small amounts of radiation in the atmosphere would interfere with carbon dating, but I know literally nothing about how it works. Seems like solar radiation and such would be a bigger contributor?

It fools humans more often than a baseline algorithm.

What that means in numbers, they carefully avoid saying.

Check again. "The USB Type-C Specification 1.0 was published by the USB Implementers Forum and was finalized in August 2014." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_Type-C)

USB Type C is a de jure standard only: the de facto standards are 3.5mm TRSS for analog audio and Micro-USB for charging and PC connections.
