NY has legislation in the current session (S324) with 14 co-sponsors to also make it illegal to provide false information in interrogations and provides that any confession where false statements are made is to be "designated as an involuntary confession, statement or admission".

At bitly we follow a process very similar to github. One difference though is that we structure things internally as smaller services, and as a result we do deploys to smaller groups of servers at a time. Deploys for us are the one way we do state changes on a machine. This means that it encompasses more than just the code we write, it's also all of our configuration, system installs, crontabs, monitoring, you name it.

Deploys are done through an internal web based system, and are run by nearly everyone that commits to our repository (designer, developer, or ops) and can be run at any time day or night. We have put a lot of effort into being able to do zero downtime deploys for almost all of our systems, and as a result we've pushed 8156 deploys in the past 12 months.

... danger ... ?

Do we have people on the moon that I don't know about? What is this danger that they speak of.

Sometimes an annonymous source is only needed to point the reporter in the right direction so they can check things out for themselves.

I guess thats more of a "tipster" than a source, but whatever.

You have a good point though. A "source" by default isn't valid. It may be validated though even if it is anonymous. After all, the identity alone of the source doesn't make the information valid... does it? Validating the information recieved by a source is the only way to validate a source. That can be done regardless of anononymity.
