The silver lining in this exchange chain is that I got to download what looks like a great eBook on Cryptography 101 and a link for future reference. Thank you LVH.

Don't know whether you had a chance to read the Noise Protocol Specification available on the site yet. If not please read chapter 14 (Rationale). The information is very valuable even if you don't use Noise specifically. I found

If all the important content of your website can be rendered in a timely fashion through a text browser like Lynx, then you will have catered to the lowest common denominator. Granted that is a very retro concept.

I found the whole update state and have the UI automatically render on state changes a very useful model. You only need to define the UI once, and have the real time rendering left to the state watcher.

Sometimes the "incredible" part of the story is getting around all the logistical issues in getting simple things done in a third world country which would be a no brainer in a first world country. The story talks about tribal peo

I am more of a lurker than a poster. I just read comments on the sites. I really believe that people on either side of the political spectrum should at the very least listen to the view points espoused by the other side so that they can get

To tell you the truth, I put myself into a politics news vacuum the day after the elections and the results were announced. I no longer frequent the politics sites (left and right) that I used to visit being a politics addict. I now no long

I wonder how much it has deviated from its original ancestor, Sybase SQL Server/TransactSQL? Do they still have anything in common?

I guess this is an off topic question, but shouldn't the example of the Hierarchical Database show Customer as the Root and Order as the Parent and Books as the Child? I guess it makes sense if the query is "Show me all the Orders

In the same vein, for those in the USA trying to do business elsewhere, please be aware of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act [1]. There is no upside to breaking those rules. Sean, my Mandarin/Chinese is at below beginner's level.

I just spent a week in the Shenzhen Huaqiang Bei electronic malls and I couldn't agree with you more about the pricing. You can do so much better being there physically and negotiating the hell out of things.

If you are a hardware entrepreneur there may be better options than trying to set up in the USA. Try setting up shop in Shenzhen, China. Just spent a week over there. It is truly a Hacker's Paradise. You can validate your ideas and get

There is a tremendous amount of risk to go it alone, especially when the alternative is so comfortable and risk free. By all definition you would be crazy to go it alone. The statistics seem to point in that direction. But then again the re
