   FWIW, I find Gmane much easier to use than Google Groups. It doesn't take ages to asynchronously load via JS and then hijack common browser behavior or make it harder to use the browsers history mechanism to return to where the tab was

   If you think the people of Germany follow orders, then go to Tokio. You might be surprised at how much stricter a population can follow rules. Even visiting the neighbor Switzerland will reveal a more trust-based society where people follow

   I like the separate heaps ala Erlang and GHC. Hope they're small enough by default and initial size can be tuned for actively avoiding GC.

   You're right, there's no mention of static compilation , just that it's statically typed.

   In the sources there's a component called VM, despite Gluon being statically compiled. Is that more akin to a runtime system or is it a separate VM for the REPL?

   Another project from the author which is now abandoned, but might have provided the spark for gluon: https://github.com/Marwes/haskell-compiler It's a partial Haskell compiler written in Rust.

   Genuinely curious, how does Electron access your camera different than Chrome?

   Not sure about hotkeys. Current Twitter and Github hijack enough well known bindings that it got annoying. So, what hotkeys would Electron allow that wouldn't work in a generic browser?

   In case anyone's wondering, this is Electron using the WebRTC version of Skype. I wonder why they didn't just promote the WebRTC site instead. It would make it easier to have the latest security updates in the browser engine witho

    I was thinking more of a public place where others can see it. For instance, I would ask for a feature that downvoting shall require a mandatory comment or similar improvements to discourage anonymous drive-by-downvoting which gives you no

    Is there a place to ask for features?

    I didn't know what UFC is, so looking it up I saw that there's a European version which has teams competing. I can't tell how legitimate it is, since it also has teams comprised of seemingly football(soccer) hooligans. If so,

    Are you planning to delegate editing and is it purely for reading?

    Besides being off-the-books and under-the-radar, how was Madoff's operation different than that? Genuinely curious.

    Interesting, do you have a source for that? All I recall is that LinkedIn is struggling and it's hard to understand why MS would pay 26bn ( http://www.recode.net/2016/6/13/11920416/linkedin-acquisitio

    DB may be insolvent, but to be fair, there aren't many banks that can pay out the figures recorded in the managed accounts. I recall one Utah bank which is supposedly able to, and there may be others, but usually a mainstream bank cann

    The point is that there won't be an all-cash 17bn transaction for Snapchat. I'm unaware of a SV startup sale in that dimension which happened in mostly cash. Usually, and I may be missing some deals, it's part cash and mostly

    Assuming tasers are effective, do US police forces carry them? If they do, why is it not the first choice? If they don't carry, what's the problem with tasers? If tasers are not effective, I'm still wondering why non-lethal w

    Thanks for the info. May I ask if you figured that out from the blog or BoringSSL code?

    Oracle's control of JVM and less community democracy compared to LLVM and rustc (what is used in Rust) may be what the mean, I suppose.

    Thanks, and yes, I've read about what hardness assumption is used. My confusion is about what pieces are concatenated. Is the same input processed twice (different ciphers) and then concatenated, which is then the generated key?

    Given the history of past innovations in cryptography (public key), it's reasonable to assume that there are quantum machines in the works or already operating (to some extent) behind closed doors inside institutions that benefit from

    I've read that, but can't find the details or make concrete sense of the scheme involved. will use a post-quantum key-exchange algorithm in addition to the elliptic-curve key-exchange algorithm that would typically be

    But there is splitting involved, or it's duplicate, isn't it? Edit: What's the name of the scheme used?

    Can someone explain how the stacking on top of existing crypto works? Is it redundant (aka double)?

    Can't you use a phone-only google account which you otherwise don't use for anything else? I haven't used Android, but would you be able to use your real email account in K9, while using a dummy account for the device itself?
