This is not true. My work, written three years ago, showed that VP8 was inferior to H.264[1] at the time. A more recent paper showed that both VP8 and VP9 are inferior to both H.264 and HEVC[2]. [1]: http://blog.seancassidy.me&#x

An Erlang system has been created which has nine nines of uptime[1]. That is a stunning achievement. Riak, CouchDB, RabbitMQ, and SimpleDB are written in Erlang. These are mission critical, mature projects. [1]: http://stackoverf

Lets not pretend that every keystroke you type into the Omnibar being sent to Google is the same as using Fastmail. They're extremely different from a privacy perspective.
