   Some of the comments led me to think Ali was one of the investors YC uses.

   Is this a failure in the YC process? Or just "one of those things"?

   On the other hand, why would the NSA even bother? With these talented individuals providing them a never ending supply of security issues? And they don't even have to pay for them besides having their normal 0-day discovery team look f

   The problem is, as anyone with sufficient experience knows, it is perfectly possible and common for devs to design security disasters without any involvement by the spooks. I suspect the NSA counts on this and uses any covert influence they

    I'm curious as to how successful they were at subverting the IETF process. It wouldn't be impossible, but since much of the process is in the open it could be difficult, especially if they did it under their own name. I suspect m

    My family has switched to a "cereal" that is made mostly of milk products. I wonder if those products are being counted.

    I just read the abstract and some of the discussion. He is saying something interesting, however the language is pretty opaque if you aren't doing philosophy of science. As I understand the abstract (ruthlessly oversimplified): 1. Emer

    I wonder if a "Greater San Jose" would be the more correct answer? Leave the city to its own devices.

    While I too despise Scrum, the causation could be runming the other way: the Bosses that have a better team could be more likely to let them run without major pressure.

    This leaves open the question of what conditions evolved that partivular tastebud configuration. My unserious pet theory (pun intended) is there were ancient pellagic deep diving proto-cats that fed on fish. You still see traces of the swim

    Smalltalk environments have defaulted to proportional fonts back to the beginning of time [1]. Some of the newer ones allow for richtext code, so if you really need to make that ascii art drawing, you can change the font in the comment. Al

    Yes, keybinds in gaming oriented VoIP apps can be global, you can press them from anywhere, or at least a select set of apps where an overlay is configured. This includes Discord (at least in the electron app). As to why? It depends on the

    I do play multi-player games, and that is exactly my experience. Also, on occasion I've had to be connected to more than one VoIP system at the same time and having to track all the toggles would be a huge pain.
