"Perhaps! But this problem only comes up if you're not the centre of the Universe."

wmf is right in saying this is early days and we're still experimenting.
However there is a roughly up to date wire spec here: https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/document/d/1WJvyZflAO2p...
and a much more detailed design doc here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RNHkx_VvKWyWg6Lr8SZ-saqs...

QUIC is in the Chromium source:

and there's a demo server here:

> And how will Chrome know whether to try to connect via QUIC or not?
Chrome looks for the "alternate-protocol:443:quic" response header (in non-QUIC requests). Once it sees this it will attempt to talk QUIC in future requests to the same domain.
And thanks for pointing out the omission of chrome://flags/#enable-quic in the slides. Have fixed this.

Americans wasting/not wasting some of their surplus food (in America!) is not going to affect starving people elsewhere
The money used to buy (and then waste) surplus food could be donated to the most effective charities[1][2], thereby saving lives. You could donate directly to charities which feed starving people although these may not do the most good (in terms of lives saved per dollar donated).
