Compared to Australia, New Zealand has a significant Maori / Polynesian population. If you combine a part of Australia with a part of Fiji, you would get similar mix of people and …

The core worry for me is that, Facebook represents the social gaming, Zynga, pay-to-grow-a-plant kind of gaming that is the antithesis of hardcore gaming which Oculus (especially w…

You have posted 10 positive Microsoft reviews in the past year which corresponds to approximately 10%-20% of your posts. Are you paid to do this or just really into the company?

Definitely. I'm really interested in the progress of OpenPGP.js. It could possibly replace a lot of the sketchier parts of Cryptocat.

Guy creates a blog and his first single post is to discourage someone truly trying to innovate in the cryptography space (though admittedly more in usability aspects). After listen…

I understand if you are fine with it. It has lost most of its meaning with history but I still cringe a little whenever I read it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_names_fo…

I would just like to point out that many British people find the word Brit pejorative and that you shouldn't use it unless you want to offend.

Loving the concept but maybe you should be charitable and make it free as it is really just a tutorial + triggers.

Just a warning who anybody thinks the book is ancient and "gutenbergable" (as the name kind of implies). Don't bother, it is only 10 years old.

Please, for the sake of non-Americans (non-Californians?) use the following regular expression on your titles. s/", Seriously"//

Yeah but it MUCH rarer that an integer can be written in consecutive powers of 2.

I would argue there is some selection bias going on here. If we assume that both sexes are trying to maximise their evolutionary fitness then a beautiful woman marrying a less attr…

I think everyone should spend an evening trying to write in ed. Knowing that most of unix was written in this simple editor shows the power of tight constraints in design decisions…

I'm finishing up a mathematics degree so I'll tackle question A from my perspective. If you know how to program a CS degree can be very tedious. This is mainly why I made the switc…

How does the world tolerate these kind of people? This kind of stuff makes me boil over in anger.
