Is that da Vinci method a bit like interpreting I Ching hexagrams? Put some randomness in, add some constraints, and interpret it to your current context. Should be a similar creativity enhancer.

As much as I understand, that "forced monetization" can exist, such as in the case of stock options - those can incur tax right away (alternative minimum tax), and usually will have to sell some of your just got stocks to be able

Since there's so much accounting in these metrics, anybody has a recommendation for good accounting software, or knowledgebase? Especially for hardware startups (e.g. building physical stuff, inventory, keeping track of component and p

Running inside the app is probably the strongest argument here, though I think that's also kinda assuming that people cannot subvert the app in unexpected ways. The size of requests can still be observed e.g. being on Wifi - people don

Except they shouldn't really use Gzip if they are also using HTTPS.... See http://stackoverflow.com/a/4063496/171237 or look up BREACH and CRIME.

Yeah, I got 2.53% error rate, but that's nothing to worry about - using 79 servers, that's exactly 2 errors, both of them in China, which kinda makes it feel less Amazon's fault, than the Great Firewall's.... Maybe there

Most embedded shops release u-boot source, just not in a very usable state, eg. based on old versions, zip package instead of version control, not following any of the development practices or internal organization of the original project..

I'd guess that (c) refers to the fact that implementation details can expose the algorithm too, e.g. side-channel attacks, leaking timing info, and so on... Things like constant-time comparisons are not generally part of the considerat
