This looks like a lot of fun. A couple years ago, I built an 8-bit CPU from 7400 series logic gates on a giant breadboard and learned a ton. And it still works today! I strongly recommend a project like this to anyone who might be interested.

I made a few videos demonstrating it:

I'm slowly working on putting together a more detailed tutorial for building such a thing. I actually think with the right guidance this is a very accessible project for someone without much background in electronics or computer architecture to learn a lot from.
> A market is a system which can have temporary flaws

I guess this is where our assumptions diverge. I don't believe that a fluctuation in the market price can ever be considered a "flaw". Some people buy stocks and some people short stocks - a price increase is no better or worse than a price decrease. A market fluctuation is merely representative of a change in the opinion of the participants of a market. Market volatility merely demonstrates that there is a high degree of uncertainty amongst participants.

Hence, I don't believe there is any utility in trying to impede market fluctuations since this does nothing to change the root cause: the participants of the market haven't achieved a strong consensus.

I really don't know what benefits open sourcing flash would have, do you? JavaScript is in many ways more dangerous as it does not operate in the same security sandbox as flash. I can not specify a customized Java Script interpreter that visitors must use when they visit my website, they will always be relegated to what has been implemented by their browser. There is a big difference between open-source and free. Open-sourcing flash would most likely lead to a few dozen clones, just look at linux or android. Instead of a unified platform now there would be multiple variations. You would have to make sure your project ran on every single version in order for anyone to even see what you where trying to do. I think firefox's impetus has more to do with them justifying Shumway ( and continuing their funding) then anything.

It's illegal to mug someone, this is apparently not illegal regardless of how you define the relationship between the two parts. So yes it is the market that allow for this kind of business to exist and be profitable. It has supply and demand logic at the very core of it.

No one is asking the market to be perfect but in this case it's an example of how the market is imperfect.

So the natural discussion of course should be whether this should be regulated more.

"Not at all. It took forever for the justice system to overcome the massive lobbying and corruption that was protecting the tobacco industry from lawsuits over their fraudulent advertising. "

In what way would the situation improve if there was no regulation? There would be even more corruption. Just look at the ratings agencies during the 2008 crisis. They were supposed to be a market based information source but in reality they were paid off.

There is a lot that's wrong with agencies like the EPA but abolishing them and dreaming up market based solutions that are corruption free doesn't seem to be realistic to me.
> who will enforce the redundancy?

Who enforced the redundancy of humans possessing two kidneys? If you are a creationist, then I guess we have different starting assumptions.

Assuming that you aren't, then you would understand that redundancy in humans literally evolved from randomness and volatility. Evolution is a hill climbing algorithm - the organisms that survive the best reproduce more and become more prevalent. For me, nature is perfectly laissez-faire, there are no circuit breakers in nature, there is no enforced stability.

Wouldn't switching to neutral increase fuel usage?

When you're in gear, the engine is kept moving by the momentum of the car. When you switch into neutral and break the connection between the movement of the car and the engine, the vehicle has to use fuel to keep the engine moving and not stall. Yes, resistance will cause you to slow down quicker in gear than in neutral, but during that time you should be using basically no fuel compared to using the same amount of fuel that your vehicle would be using while idling if you're in neutral.

Basically, while you're coasting in gear, you're using the car's momentum to run the engine rather than fuel. When you switch to neutral, the car's momentum keeps the car moving forward, but the engine needs fuel to keep going.

> Do you think everyone in the American upper class is dishonest and not hard-working?

No, the comment says, rather that there is no hell; rather, in reality, dishonesty often pays: people run off with the money and enjoy the good life. Not only that, but those which climb by such means are even indistinguishable from the honest people they rub shoulders with. Wrongs should be punished in this life, rather than waiting for some mythical hell to do the job.

As could be expected this has poked a hornets nest of opposition because of its implications regarding backward compatibility of extensions we use. Many of us are hoping for a fork based on the current release that will continue to evolve and be maintained and which values backward compatibility first and foremost.

Users can snapshot the current 40.0 release by copying the installation directory and creating a cloned profile for it with updates disabled. Personally I find the 42.0a2 development channel release to be backwards compatible with all extensions and to have superior memory management.

[1]Richard P. Feynman:

Dear George,

Yours is the first honorary degree that I have been offered,
and I thank you for considering me for such an honor.

However, I remember the work I did to get a real degree at Princeton
and the guys on the same platform receiving honorary degrees without
work—and felt an "honorary degree" was a debasement of the idea of a
"degree which confirms certain work has been accomplished."
It is like giving an "honorary electricians license." I swore then
that if by chance I was ever offered one I would not accept it.

Now at last (twenty-five years later) you have given me a
chance to carry out my vow.

So thank you, but I do not wish to accept the honorary degree you
offered.

Sincerely yours,

Richard P. Feynman

Any individual might be free to buy or sell or participate or not, but if there's some covert support, monetary or regulatory or informational, then the market isn't working according to the participant's input.

A firm offering worse prices to consumers, but getting inside information might drive its competitors out of business, even if they offer superior service or value. The outcome is different. I don't see how re-defining a free market in terms of the participant's choice makes it work like a market in which the government agency hasn't meddled.

"Who would prove the harm if there is no EPA? The same experts who the EPA uses, or hopefully better ones. I would happily subscribe to a consumer reports for heath information, for example. This would create a market where accurate and timely information was actually incentivized."

How do you make sure that your consumer reports aren't corrupt? And how do they get financed? Research into things that cause long-term effects (like lead or mercury or tobacco) is very expensive and not really viable for a company that needs to produce a profit short-term.

In my mind, if you want a functioning libertarian state you need to strengthen public research and make sure it's not corrupted. So strengthen the EPA instead of abolishing it.

That way courts and citizens have accurate information to determine if harm has been done or not.
i clicked your HP link. (because the 76 ones are only desktop computers disguised as laptops, really)

then clicked the laptops link.

then clicked every single one of the models and clicked customize.

every single one of the options were Windows 7, 8, 10. Only.

did you manage to go from that page to any actual product you could just enter your credit card and receive with ubuntu?

PS: i should tell you that i'm not being pessimistic. just realistic. My current personal computer is an Asus eeepc-1000, from 2007 or so. the very first netbook with SSD that shipped with linux. i replaced the asus distro garbage with debian right away, but i got it with linux for the meaning of it.

Servo is just the browser engine, an alternative to the component known as Gecko in modern Firefox. Mozilla isn't going to drop the Firefox brand even if they do end up replacing Gecko with Servo (which is hardly guaranteed). Though if anything, the move here makes it more plausible that such a switch could happen, because the whole XUL situation is probably the single largest blocker for a Servo-based Firefox. A standardized extensions API would also give Servo a free extensions ecosystem with minimal effort, especially if Mozilla pursues a GUI based on browser.html which could be shared with Servo immediately.
It blows my mind that there is some myth about the Japanese still floating around in Japan may have been started by some pasty white German in the late 1800's.

How long before you can't use any of those apps if this "feature" is not turned on. And so you are opted-in to sharing your face with Microsoft which can then be recognized when you appear in front of the TSA and your thoughts and online activities brought to your attention in need of an explanation. Or just to determine whether you need "special" attention, without informing you how they came to that conclusion.
For the reason mentioned it is better to set the timing during the day (that is what we do). But if you upgrade automatically during the day you'll have a bit of downtime during the day.

By default the Omnibus packages will stop, run migrations, and start again, no matter how “big” or “small” the upgrade is. The behaviour can be changed by adding a /etc/gitlab/skip-auto-migrations file.

Obviously if you installation grows you can review the needed upgrades in advance and prevent downtime in most cases.

"On one front after another, the hard-won consensus of science is also expected to accommodate personal beliefs, religious or otherwise, about the safety of vaccines, G.M.O. crops, fluoridation or cellphone radio waves, along with the validity of global climate change."

This list is so funny.
I am against most vaccines while i know they are safe an effective. its just that they are oversold and frequently unnecessary.
i am not against GMOs, but i want them labeled for safety reasons. i can't know if GMO corn is ok if i don't know it was crossed with peanuts can i?
floridation shouldn't even be on this list, science has admitted they were wrong on that one.
cell phone radio waves are an actual issue for some people, who are you to tell someone you know better? as a ham license holder i can tell you theres real science to that as well.
as far as climate change, that's the one that takes the cake. no one cares about they evidence, they look first at what side is going to make the future better in their eyes and then they choose. science be damned.
This is just a lame re-hash of Leibowitz and Margolis, "The Fable of the Keys". Sometime in the 90s, I printed out a copy of "The Fable of the Keys" from CU Denver's library microfiche. I was very disappointed. The paper has no original research at all, it's just ragging on other's research that Leibowitz and Margolis don't like. The whole paper reads like they started with the conclusion ("markets don't fail" maybe, or "path dependence doesn't exist") and tried to assassinate various studies that showed the opposite of their conclusion. Don't get me wrong, it's very possible that the Dvorak keyboard isn't very good, or it's worse than QWERTY. Leibowitz and Margolis just didn't show either conclusion. I'm really surprised that this paper has gotten as much citation as it has.
I think we're engaged in argument around semantics. I think we both think that the action is immoral, is or ought to be illegal, and would properly be the subject of legislation.

It does look like all we are disagreeing on is whether or not an individual incapable of giving informed consent can be said to be participating in a market or not.
Who said it was criminal contempt and not civil contempt?

Fuck I hate you pathetic liberal morons.

This is an intentional leak/hack by the new world order to demonise males and suffuse the media with leftist, feminist nonsense. The usual libtard useless eaters will lap it up and of course ignore the government destroying all our rights, murdering hundreds of thousands in the middle east, funding ISIS and Al Qaeda, persecuting whistleblowers and passing the TPPA which give immense powers to bankers and corporations over western countries.

Women are so entitled, when they cheat suddenly it's the man's fault.

Let me educate you liberal idiots about feminism, you've all been duped, it's a political social engineering psy-op.

Real women realise that feminism these days is nonsense. It's actually social engineering by the central banking/corporate oligarchy that control the western governments and the media to make society weaker, and more easy to control and manipulate.

Classic 'divide and conquer'. Masculinise women and feminise men, empower women, subjugate men, and confuse the gender roles to make male/female relationships hard to form as men have evolved to compliment and protect women, not compete with them, marriage is at an all-time low as a result. This male feminisation and subjugation weakens men who are more likely to challenge authority and are physically much more of a threat to authority and also destroys the family, the primary goal.
Family provides social cohesion and resistance to tyranny, thus they must destroy the family and divide society. They cannot tolerate devotion to family before the state.

The same principle applies to why they've orchestrated such a massive anti-religion campaign in the media and popular culture, the power elite cannot tolerate devotion to a God before the state, especially a God that promotes individual rights, family values and absolute morality. I'm not religious but I recognise social engineering propaganda when I see it.

So recognise the people behind all of this, the militant deluded, poisonous feminists are puppet dupes, as are the media and even the politicians. The real villains are the central banking power elite, Rothschild, Rockefella, Kissinger, Morgan, brzezinski and such people. The owners of the Federal reserve and the people behind the IMF World Bank and the BIS (Bank of International Settlements) are the ones behind the majority of the world's problems, war, financial collapse toxins, viruses etc as they enter the endgame of their plan for world government in which they create chaos and division to offer up their world government as the solution.

Another key aspect stemming from the destruction of the family and the forcing of women into the workplace via social feminist propaganda and economic manipulation is that children become raised by the State. They can get force fed constant establishment propaganda throughout their lives with a heavily reduced parental influence.

Bottom line, there's a sinister political agenda at work designed to subvert gender roles, subjugate and disempower men and erode the family.
Yeah, as a UVA grad I didn't realize they didn't give honorary degrees, but I think their approach of giving "medals" instead is the right one.

Also, even if you are Richard Stallman or Maya Angelou, demanding to be called "Dr" due to an honorary degree is just lame.
I work on an extension for Chrome, Opera, Safari, and Firefox that's pretty widely used. Firefox (Jetpack) is so different from the rest that I basically hate working on it.

I get that some people may love XUL and whatever, but having never used it, I can't really comment. All I do know is that Jetpack (which Firefox has been pushing) is a sorry excuse for a way to build extensions after you've worked with Chrome. I really hope WebExtensions makes my life easier soon.
When did I make that claim? I said that I think what she's promoting is based more off of relativism, and that epistemology is already an established field; hell, it's quite literally the study of knowledge. So smug!
