400 millions for a 3 person startup that don't even have a proper web-site and is not in wikipedia seems crazy. But then again Google knows a little more about future value than me.

It's very simple for me: From 20s to 30s most women are having babies, because it's the only time on their lives when they can do it safely. They can go startuping later. Male coders on their 20s are mostly coding and brofounding

You are wrong and the title is correct. As proof, I present you my hypothesis: "You cannot obtain a negative number by adding positive numbers." Try and disprove me, I dare you.

But the reverse is also true. You cannot realistically claim that anything with over a million lines of code is bug-free. That may explain why unlike all other operative systems out there, OpenBSD distro gets smaller as time passes.

Nice "hacking". If I were South Korea I would buy some weapons before sending cute balloons to a country run by a lunatic that can squash you in a single night.

Haha what? Theres a reason NSA didn't tap twitter fibers, it doesn't need to. By his very nature Twitter is completely public. This is a bunch of trendy words mixed together to grab eyes.

IMHO Academia is the anti-startup. It's in direct competition with angel-investors. Let's see, the path of academia is: 1) Finish college 2) Do PhD 3) Get funding from gov. to do startup or academic project. Angel investor path is

It's fine that you have faith in your product but I will believe what you say when other people outside the project confirm it, otherwise is just marketing. I do not use gnupg because the creators say it's nice, I use it because e

There are a lot of awesome things that can be added to a language. Python is nice because it's simple and intuitive and you don't really need to read the docs to figure out how to do things and use libraries. Now it's becomin

The algorithm that the author is painfully searching by brute-forcing a picture is hidden by simply compilation. Decompilation of a binary was hard in the 20th century, not so much now. Discovering the exact algorithm only requires some tim

TLDR: "RSA's contract made Dual Elliptic Curve the default option for producing random numbers in the RSA toolkit." Dual_EC_DRBG was a NIST standard.

Thankfully never happened to my coworkers. But many years ago I reported a pretty severe vulnerability in a common piece of software. A patch was issued and that was it. One of the developers then stopped answering emails and later I learn

Here you go: http://www.kyllikki.org/hardware/wwwpic2/src/wwwpic2.asm.htm... Bonus: runs on 68 bytes of ram. Not a typo, it's bytes, and it's a "complete" http+tcp/ip server.

I think it's no coincidence that both the Pope and Mujica are luxury-averse. Demonstrations of wealth in Argentina (and Uruguay, as we are almost the same country) are considered poor taste or even indecent. We even have a word for it,

It is not an OS, and telling things that are not true is not educational is delusional. If you people want to remain ignorant and believe things that are not true, be my guest.

The same way the BIOS makes keypresses come up on the screen with no OS. You don't need an OS to do things in a computer.
