gRPC, arguably the RPC framework with the most momentum behind it right now, uses HTTP/2 as it's transport

You are right-- good catch.

I have no special knowledge but I assume since it is an encrypted-only protocol with significant research behind it.

I think the Yubico 4 series would do what you want. They supports U2F, GPG, and PIV: https://developers.yubico.com/yubico-piv-tool/YubiKey_PIV_in...

(disclaimer, I work at Scopely) I don't quite understand what you mean by saying that it's an "office for sales people". Agreed, it's a bit crowded! I think we doubled (or more?) our team's size since we moved into this space. But other than that, the type of office suites me and most developers quite well. We are working on acquiring more office space and making dedicated "quite rooms" for people to work in with less distraction.

As a counterpoint, I built a relatively large system using Node (this was a couple months ago, to be clear) and had issues with several modules. mysql: cannot handle binary blob columns (this is just now being fixed in an alpha version of the library). mysql: very slow parsing of large responses. aws*: many half built / half broken libraries -- nothing that met our modest needs. request: (http request library) found several issues.

Node.JS has a great community that is writing many great modules, no doubt. But the community is very young and almost by definition many of the modules are immature.

This can be very enjoyable from an engineering perspective (you get to write and hack on things that you would not otherwise), but can also slow down the process of building things since you do end up having to reinvent the wheel at times.

Totally agree that something have to be sync. However, from my experience Campfire is the single best place to "meet" and address an urgent issue.

The ability to have two or three conversations going on simultaneously, share links and log messages, and have a transcript/timeline to use to guide a postmortem is fantastic.

It's a multi stepped process: use different IPs for different clients, warm up the IPs to build good reputation, actively work with ISPs to whitelist the IPs, enroll in loopback programs with the ISPs, carefully monitor spam complaint and bounce rates, etc.

Sending a large amount of email to a well established list can actually help your reputation, since the ISPs see that you send large numbers of emails that don't get reported as span -- that makes the (hopefully) few that do not affect your reputation as much.

Specifically regarding "Access my data any time" -- Facebook normally issues applications short-lived "access tokens" when someone uses Facebook Connect. The idea that that application can then access the data that you give it permission to during your session with that application.

The "Access my data any time" permission gives the application a long-lasting (nearly indefinite) "access token" that the application can store and user to interact with your Facebook account at a later time.

The most appreciated perks at my office are out table-tennis and foosball games. I think they beat video game consoles / TVs / etc for a few reasons:

- even the minimal amount of physical activity they provide is a great break from sitting at a desk

- inter-office rivalry is great fun

Also, healthy food is a must, and like others have said office location is huge.
