Being cool was Justin's answer for starting up. While it may be honest, he could have added other thoughtful answers. More details on his first YC interview would also be interesting, instead of saying that he didn't say much at the interview.

JL efficiently didn't delve into #1 monster of cofounder disagreements. An insightful point was about the large company corp dev monster.

Another must watch is Joel's talk: deciding and knowing what kind of venture one is in, so that one takes the more appropriate actions when situations arise.

Sloppy work by affected companies since RFC was unambiguous. But why didn't RFC keep it consistent by requiring verifiers to only work with the same minimum key length?

RFC 4871 (sorry for formatting but ipad issue) " signers MUST use RSA keys of at least 1024 bits for long-lived keys. Verifiers MUST be able to validate signatures with keys ranging from 512 bits to 2048 bits, and they MAY be able to validate signatures with larger keys. Verifier policies may use the length of the signing key as one metric for determining whether a signature is acceptable.

   Factors that should influence the key size choice include the
   following:

   o  The practical constraint that large (e.g., 4096 bit) keys may not
      fit within a 512-byte DNS UDP response packet

   o  The security constraint that keys smaller than 1024 bits are subjec to offline attacks..."
