on: Authy (YC W12) launches two-factor auth as a service
I wish them luck, since two-factor auth is something which should be implemented more often.

on: Abandoning Algebra Is Not the Answer
For years and years I've wasted time in the classroom with Algebra, a skill I will _never_ need in my lifetime. As a computer science major, I find it perfectly equatable to make my math teacher sit through the same amount of time in some of my major-specific classes, since he will get just as much value out of them. Not to mention I have to pay for it.... difficult or not, most math classes simply are not useful. This differs from other "general" classes, such as English.

This solution is no different than sending more guns. Instead, respect the inalienable right to consciousness modification.

Deetroit! Very much like the design of your website with the wooden background... glad to hear of your success.

Not sure why you're surprised after including a baity and condescending title.

Pretty snarky comment to end on... Since HBGary I'm not sure if it's fair to call them _all_ bored teenagers. I hope Elo Pro is far from a real identity.

on: Desktop Linux: The Dream Is Dead
The stage wasn't set a few years ago, even using Ubuntu was too high-level for many people, since it inevitably required at least a bit of command-line usage. I expect linux will continue to get more popular as the medium level of computer users decreases.

on: Google Images Instant (inspired by Youtube Instant)
In my opinion, much more useful than the real google instant. It would be cool if you added a way to manage your safe-search preferences too.
