If it's a signed first edition it's not entirely out of line, but otherwise you can just come to one of my signing events and I'll sign your copy for free, or for the holiday season call my local bookstore and order a copy there and I'll sign/personalize it and then they'll ship it off.

Their words
The most popular use case is code-signing with self-signed certificates, but that actually makes everything worse.

Their words
With requests going over TLS it is obviously less critical now, but end-to-end signing is always going to be better than transport-layer security.

An idea is only validated when people take out their credit cards and pay for it; signing up proves nothing.Their words
And I check if there’s demand and if people actually sign up and not just sign up, but if people actually pay money. They need to take out their credit cards, pay me money, and then I can see if the idea is validated.
Nothing matches.
What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
