Short of them having some complete breakthrough of where the server can do some massive massive pre-computation to alleviate client side computations, I don't see this happening. Between the computation / communication tradeoff, this would

what's the best open source alternative to git hub? (no, I don't want to host my code on third party servers) the best I've used so far is trac, but their git support were flaky when I last tested it (only ran well with svn at the time)

As a Chinese American guy with great grades, I believe your friend is full of BS (unless she's "Chinese" in that she actually lives in China). In HS / College, I've never seen good grades = popularity.

Are people still making money from facebook apps these days? I thought it was over a while back (and thus why the mass exodus to develop on the iPhone although apple's approval process sucks.)

Crypto, in general, is really hard to get right. With 'normal' code, if it's broken, something doesn't work, and you know to fix it. With crypto, if it's 'broken', all the valid requests still work, and you don't know that anything's wrong.

Can we have a poker bot competition? I'm not a great poker player myself (in fact, I don't really even know the rules) -- but I think it'd be another cool way to socialize; especially if people are required to release the source later, and

Can anyone on YC share personal stories? If you're afraid of being identified, maybe you can create an anonymous account. I've been thinking of going into the iphone market myself, and more info will certainly help. Thanks!
