That is a generalization of course.

I'd expire after 53.54 cups. I drink half that amount. Does that mean half of me dies each day? Or does it just take me twice as long?

Have you seen how kids these days behave? Most of it's "Irish Coffee" stronger than Nagy's strait gin.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

We’re here to help craft usably secure technologies, and make them available to everyone. Oh look, another security organization to fix what all the other security organizations haven't fixed

... and we'll be the only ones with the key.

..and another website, cooked from the same template as thousand others, thinking that they are a slideshow that needs scrolling.
The size of the font says it all; we're an add, and there's no serious word in the landing page. They deal in "empowering" and stuff.

Great analysis. So true. They're going to do some huge new-new-new thing in security, but are too busy to explain it without buzz words on their website. What!?! <deploying interrobang>

Why?
It's a new organization that may affect our industry. That it's founded by Google alone should make it significant to our readers. i.e. It's news, and this is a news forum.
I could have posted a technical news site posting about the organization (and in fact that's what I was originally going to do), but many people complain about the accuracy of many of the technical news sites. So I decided to post the original content instead.

Yes, if it says "Google" then it must be important. --edit-- ..and apparently Google isn't funding them very well, otherwise there would not be any begging for funds --edit--

Good point
..and a nice example on how to defuse a thread. It is a lot easier to comment on the news then to go out and find it. When I do have something new, I rather post in the lounge than here - assuming that you repost it in the news section if it is considered, well, news.

Reduced of it's market/prspeak bloatage it just says "we do awesome stuff for hard problems; and want to work on yours" with absolutely no technical detail on the page.
