Hi SquareWheel.
I use Keybase as a "Here's my Public Key and I am who I say I am".
For e-mail/Gmail I use Mailvelope it's fairly easy to setup and use. I recommend you take a look at that in regards to e-mail encryption if you don't already have a system.
You can see more here:

And here is a presentation of mailvelope from the excellent Hak5 team.

I saw keybase.io as a public key directory which makes it easier to find friends, family and colleagues public keys. That´s my intended use of Keybase.io.
I haven´t actually used it yet for anything serious, although I´ve found ways to use PGP public/private keys to encrypt and decrypt local files on Mac and Windows, e-mails using mailvelope or keybase.io so that should take care of everything. But if people don´t adopt it I´ve got no use for it. And people around me didn´t take to Keybase as such it´s just sitting there so that maybe eventually I can use it. Right now it´s kind of useless.
Like many others I don´t consider HTML and CSS programming.
To some PHP isen´t even a programming language it´s a scripting language.
But I ended up programming/scripting PHP.
I like it, I feel at home in it, and it does what I want to accomplish. Make stuff for the web.
14 years ago I started learning HTML, I wanted to make websites, after that I had delusions thanks to movies like Operation Takedown, Hackers and Antitrust about being a hacker. I learned the basic concepts in C++, C# and Java, but I diden´t know what I wanted to do, so I froze, and stopped learning in those languages.
There is a term PHP is forgiving and it is, some of what is natural to PHP might bite you in the ass if you go on to C# for instance or Java. But you´ve still got a bunch of programming concepts down that you can reuse. If you can find a drive, something you want to accomplish in the language, be it a web or desktop project. Then you will learn. I hope you find this useful. Whatever you decide to do good luck on your journey to becoming a programmer.
It´s featured on the front page and it´s the same build number but the download page /3 which is generally an indication that Sublime 3 is the active current version still calls Sublime Text 3 a beta. Slightly confused now, /2 which is the page for Sublime Text 2 says: Sublime Text 3 is currently in beta, and contains many improvements over Sublime Text 2. and links to Sublime Text 3. This seems confusing but My guess is it´s still in beta as per the information but perhaps deemed stable enough that you can use it. I will probably wait until a news post have been made declaring Sublime Text 3 as 1.0 release. While I continue to use a mixture of Sublime Text and Atom.
Looks interesting, took some time to figure out the connection to Discovery but now I know.
I think I´ll be holding out until 4k/UHD has been added. Space documentaries in 4k would be awesome. And a bunch of other stuff. I´ve subscribed to the newsletter to keep an eye on you guys, and the 4k feature. I find it a little iffy that if I go to Netflix I can login and watch stuff without any problems, without privacy badger going off. (It´s something like ad-block that stop external sites tracking my browsing and stops ads). If I go to your https://app.curiositystream.com/ I get a completely white page, like the page is broken, making me think the site is a hoax the first time I checked the page. Turning off my privacy settings and enable all tracking from external sites have the page looking normally and telling me, okay there is something there to subscribe to potentially. But why do you need all this to show the page correctly?
insight.adsrvr.org
googleads.g.doubleclick.net
connect.facebook.net (Something recognizeable yay, but no login or sign up with facebook, then why?)
www.googleadservices.com
fonts.googleapis.com
www.googletagmanager.com (Google stuff is to be expected)
js.maxmind.com
cdn.optimizely.com
js.stripe.com
cdn.taboola.com
platform.twitter.com (Again no sign up with so why twitter?)
There is a bunch of stuff that I don´t know about or trust, so why do you need it? why should I let it run? and if your app page needs it, it´s a safe bet it will be needed if I subscribe. I don´t like the thought of that. Can you elaborate on this? I tried a bunch of combinations as to how little I could let through the page for the site to work correctly, I diden´t find a combination that worked other than, enable everything to view it normally.
Interesting idea but isen´t there completely free alternatives like OwnCloud? No mention of Open Source, something like this will likely not survive. I´m very skeptic in regards to something like this on crowdfunding. I´ve had a bad experience on indigogo where I lost $200+ because I trusted the creator. Besides it´s just bits and pieces of different services already created. iGoogle, Google Plus, Google Music, Smugmug, Plex? Gmail, Pushbullet, Google Calendar, Google Drive/Docs, Lastpass although I´m soon moving to Mooltipass. CMS? Wordpress,Ghost, Pico. There don´t seem to be a need for something like this, except perhaps your own control where OwnCloud covers quite a bit of it. And if it isen´t open source and you don´t host it yourself on your own servers then you aren´t in control.
Dosen´t seem very legit. According to reddit it´s sluggish not really working and presumingly stealing information. Can anyone back this information? or counter it? I don´t feel like using this software it´s way too fishy.
Currently I use Digg.com´s reader (http://digg.com/reader) as it´s the closest I´ve found to Google Reader. I am a bit of an RSS addict and spend quite a bit of time daily reading through my RSS feeds. I have over a 100 feeds in my reader.
