Cool!  Good move.
   While I have often shared many ideas and improvements online and IRL, I
   would have been much better off had I shared every idea I had early and
   often.  I try to be much more parsimonious about the things that I save
   back.  At Collision 2018 in New Orleans recently, I made possibly
   valuable suggestions for improvements and new directions to several
   startup founders who were all very appreciative for things they hadn't
   thought of or been aware of.  Doesn't pay the bills, but it's fun.  My
   queue is always too long anyway.

   I guess I was lucky I got credited, by mentioning online, early
   concepts for the Warrant Canary and (what became known as) The Street
   Performer Protocol before others.

   Cool!  That's a good idea.  I may implement it and similar things
   soon.  Just for posterity, I independently invented CAPTCHA, I think a
   year before the CMU kids thought of it.  I even began filing a patent
   while at my startup in the late 1990's, but we ran out of money.  I
   should have continued, although the situation was murky.  Imagine my
   surprise a couple years later at the IJCAI AI conferences in Acapulco
   when the CMU team presented CAPTCHA at an extra presentation at the end
   of the conference.  I went on a lark because the point of the
   presentation wasn't clear until I was sitting in it.  Just one of the
   many things I've thought of / invented that I didn't capitalize on, or
   give away in a timely fashion.  Par for the course; many people will
   have similar ideas at similar points in time.
