The average reaction time for humans is 0.25 seconds to a visual stimulus (SRC g?=human reaction time)
I think you might have some leeway on the 1ms. :)

Agree it's a good analysis. What I wonder is why the fog creek people didn't pursue that path(building Trello into more of a platform) as opposed to taking the exit. I mean it appears that it was quite a good exit for them, but there not "starving artists" and they definitely have the chops to build the product out, so why not?

[TLDR]
A recent report by Tech North argues that a technology and innovation supercluster in this southern Ontario region would spark Canadian innovation and attract talent and capital from around the world. The report identifies the current gaps the region lacks ( ] risk capital, ] access experienced talent, ] absence of customers for new products ] homegrown champions ) and the assets it posesses ( ] world-leading technical talent, ] outstanding entrepreneurs, ] game-changing ideas, ] excellent research universties, ] cities, ] diverse population ). A concrete blueprint has been developed which identifies the need to double down on two emerging forces of disruption – artificial intelligence and quantum computing. Concludes that the supercluster would drive productivity and growth across Canada with potential econmic benefits of 17.5B increase in GDP and > 170K quality jobs.

Some promises, ex "Bring in 25K Syrian refugees by end of 2015" is considered "Broken" for the purposes of the "Promise Tracker" but the government actually did bring in 25K refugees and counting, they didnt hit the 25K mark until sometime in 2016-02.
So, keep in mind that while that promise may be 'technically broken', they pretty much did what they said they were going to do.

> he didn't mention anything that you can't find on the first page of a cliffs notes on quantum physics
ummm, i think the idea was to give a "cliff's notes/ELI5" explanation of the subject
If you watched the video[0], a reporter asked a question about a political issue but prefaced his question with a sarcastic question along the lines of "I was going to ask you to explain quantum computing < chuckle, chuckle > When do think Canada's ISIS mission will ...."
When Trudeau answered the question, I think many were somewhat surprised.
