I wonder if anyone has tried to build a ttyrec[0]/termrec player with synchronised audio?

Then you have the best of both worlds. Adding some sort of out-of-band overlays (like iTerm2/3 annotation maybe[2]) for
extra commentary would make it truly amazing.

..Looks like no, but in teh future plans of [1] at least.

I'm not sure how the production workflow would go - I guess you'd

- record your terminal session, perhaps with live audio recording.

- if tools existed (which they afaik don't really), being able to clean up your ttyrecs to remove typos, speed up slow typing etc, would be amazing)

- Maybe rerecord a commentary/narration audio on the edited visuals, and add any annotations.

- publish, and glory in your multimedia educational creation!

(As I continue to think about it, I'm tempted to try to build this. I wonder if it would get used?)

Thank you for letting me know. I don't have an iOS device handy to try but I'll investigate anyway to make it working on mobile as well. Should work on FF and Chrome desktop though. :)

When Ethereum was first announced, there was a lot of fanciful talk about trustless economies (much of it still easily available). I briefly tried to get a discussion going about the difficulty of verifying Turing-equivalent code, but the zealots thought I was trolling.
Wouldn't it be better to just rewrite everything in that safe language and abandon whatever Ethereum is written in?
Yes let's shit on the DoD contractor who worked on software that no one in combat directly used that helped them look at historical events because you disagree with congressional decisions.

I don't know what you expect your comment to accomplish here but it's incredibly tone deaf.
Yes China is doing it much better. No press, full military control, reincarnation is literally banned (this means the next spirtiual/political leader is decided by the communist leadership), followed by the settling of mainlanders in Tibet. These settlers in turn disdain and look down on the Tibetans and their existence.
You mean that breaking DNS would be a game changer? Yes it would be a game changer in the most horrid and absolute sense.
The size of the legal market is the same as it was in 1990, and so is law school enrollment. There was a spike in both legal demand and enrollment in the aughts, but the ratio of work to graduates isn't much different now than it was in the 1980s and 1990s.

What's different now is not the market. Folks at Valparaiso were never getting recruited into high-paying jobs. What's different now is the extreme amounts of debt. And that phenomenon that's not confined to law. The whole education sector is overblown by irrational pro-education rhetoric and free flowing federal money.
You mean like Sinai and Gaza?

I'm still not seeing it. Where did I mention morality in there? Or rather, I know I didn't -- so where do you see it? Do you think that most people decide whether or not to use a website based on moral reasons, as opposed to more boring practical ones?
Yeah, this happened a few years ago: http://abcnews.go.com/Business/texas-man-claims-mansion-16/s...
The important detail here, which you ignore, is targeting.
Like I said, I don't know where the line of fair pricing should lay. Clearly, it could be cheaper if they are making $1 Billion. I just don't think it could be a few cents per domain.

I met someone involved in the .com registry. They have multiple data centers per continent with 200 racks of equipment. Those are the major sites. Each major city/peering point may also have a smaller presence of something like 10-20 racks.

It is more than just a few dns servers. I know some of the people at DNA Made Easy. They spend a lot of time and money building and maintaining infrastructure and peering/bandwidth agreements at major peering points around the globe.

They are obviously much smaller than a major registry but they are very performant and compete at the lower end of pricing. Their prices are probably a good indication of the cost per query($125/50 Million queries). I guess the question is the number of queries per domain and how different the level of DDoS is from a DNS provider.
Interesting that the author chose "deathless" over "immortal."
CIRA, who run the .ca (Canada) registry operates as a non-profit, with open books. You can read their annual report to see what they spend to run the .ca registry. Their registration fees are roughly comparable to what Verisign charges registrars. https://cira.ca/sites/default/files/public/2015-03-31-financ...
They are intrinsic and absolute within the construct of human society.
Just because some smart contracts fail doesn't mean they all have to.
And yet 5 posts away you see people blaming Israelis for refusing to expose themselves to that same treatment. The big detail always omitted is that Palestinians have their culture in a massive area, yet Israelis don't have one square meter more than what they have there. Oh, and the Palestinian culture is the one with the extensive history of violently oppressing other cultures and religions ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Christians ), including in Palestina itself ( http://int.icej.org/media/palestinian-christians ). All of the world, of course, is silent on that. Not that they just persecute Christians ( https://wikiislam.net/wiki/Persecution_of_Homosexuals_%28Pal... http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/12/08/what-it-s-l... etc.)

All of it doesn't matter. Nobody's willing to fight for Tibet, or for Atheists, or ... Fight, as in "fight, kill and die", credibly, against the dictatorship that rules China, against, well let's be honest here : against most Muslims, and I'm sure there will be occasionally some slight effort required against a Christian too.

Looking at a map of 1950's, finding China, and looking at China now will make anyone scared.

Can someone point me to a good Mandarin course ?
> Are Polite People More Violent and Destructive?

Substitute "Diplomatic" for "Polite", and it makes sense.
The SEC’s decision may not be the end of the fight. Last month, attorneys for Nasdaq argued that the SEC could be sued if it approves IEX, saying the SEC would first have to change its own rules to explicitly allow for a speed bump.

To this, the SEC issued an interesting response: addressing concerns about the legality of speed bumps, the SEC separately said that delays of less than one millisecond are consistent with its Regulation NMS.

According to the SEC [1], IEX's 350 microseconds delay is negligible, and thus the market is automated and the quote is protected. The practical interpretation is that the SEC has set a ceiling for what it deems the speed race among HFT firms (with fiber optics, microwaves, lasers...)

So with this decision, the SEC has capped what technological advancement in trading can achieve going forward, as now a 350ms delay will become the norm, while anything below 1 millisecond is deemed a "de minimis" delay. Which is no good for HFTs, where microseconds can mean all the difference between profit and loss.

Eh, what do you think the military is doing when they run into IEDs? The reasons to remove IEDs is of course to grant yourself movement to fight the enemy.
This is incredibly tone deaf. I'm not sure why every thread about the DoD on Hacker News always ends up with the most extreme comments that lead to: "even if you're sending cards to the soldiers you're lifting their spirits to kill more people therefore you should feel bad about yourself".

I get it. You hate war. Most people hate war, even the soldiers in our army hate it. You want change? Vote and get outside and protest. Don't shit on a DoD contractor while sitting there doing nothing.

Real change requires real effort.
60% of the poor don't collect income reportable on a w2 form. That does not mean they do not engage in productive activities that produce cash.

There is a huge informal cash and barter economy of legal goods, and another one for illegal goods.

And yes, the tax man will sell your home out from under you in a tax sale if you do not pay property taxes for long enough.

All of us live under a sword of damocles in regards to cash flow. You gotta keep putting quarters in the meter to live in modern capitalism.

I define rich as those who have sufficient wealth in financial instruments and assets such as treasury bonds and equities to pay for their lifestyle without the need to collect 1099 or w2 income.

They are the only ones who truly do not work, the only ones who can truly sit back and relax. They are the real loafers, the true moochers, and the laziest of all classes of society, I also have the ambition to become one myself, but I will have no pretensions that I would be engaged in anything other than having found a way to have others serve me, no different than any lord or pharoah or emperor, and in fact with much greater security and ease.
Interesting idea, but I think a slight modification is in order.

Like you said, if someone buys and domain for $5 a year and holds it for a few years, and then someone offers $1000 for it during a renewal auction, the owner could pay $100 to keep it. If they decided that it wasn't worth $100, the new buyer would pay the $1000 to get ownership.

In this situation, I think it would be fair that the old owner get $100 of the buyers $1000. The same portion would be returned to the owner as it would have cost to keep the domain.

Although, this could lead to attacks if the price didn't drop back down to $5 a year. If someone owns whatever.com, and someone offers $1000 for it, the owner wouldn't just have to decide if its worth $100, but if it's worth $100 a year in perpetuity.
The balance of the emotional attachment is positive so..

Not really. Detachment from love of material possessions doesn't imply having no material possessions. It implies a lack of a disordered love for them. The true test of hypocrisy would be to see how one of those monks responds when his phone gets stolen.
Aiding the work of a misguided organization that's primarily used for causing misery in the world, regardless of what tiny piece of the puzzle you've contributed, makes you on some level accountable, if you consider that it's not one's sole option of income. It's not much different from helping violent criminals by hiding them, and most of us would agree you cannot expect immunity if you do that, but somehow we make an exception for the military because of their general proclaimed mission and totally ignore how they're deployed most of the time. In that sense it's good we get more drones, as it reduces the need for on-site forces and makes it clearer what many military tasks actually are.

That said, there are certainly peaceful tasks the military is responsible for, and we can make exception for those, like handling natural disasters, providing logistics for weather research, etc., but let's not kid ourselves, the military didn't grant the invention of the Internet for connecting the world population.
J&K has nothing to do with ethnicity. There is a larger number of people who don't want to separate from India than there are who want to.

J&K is a territorial flashpoint - with ethnic unrest that is funded.
A terrible thing about society today is our diminishing ability for self-reflection (which is a form of emotional intelligence). Most of the stuff we do as individuals is driven by marketing and social pressure - So much so that many of us have become oblivious to our true internal needs. Maybe that's why so many people go to psychologists nowadays.

In the past, people put more value on self-reflection, philosophical thinking and other types of emotional intelligence (e.g. wisdom) over raw I.Q.
The Internet Archive has both curated and non-curated collections. Right now the Wayback Machine doesn't have any curation, but that doesn't mean it's going to stay that way.

However, in this situation, the collaboration between Wikipedia and the Wayback may be what you had in mind. We're working with Wikipedia to make sure all external links from Wikipedia articles are backed up in the Wayback Machine, and there's a Wikipedia bot going around adding these links to articles.

Have you ever looked up the FP-45 Liberator?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FP-45_Liberator

Small arms are used to take out troops and gain THEIR arms, therefore gaining larger and more powerful weapons. Thats a basic military tactic when facing a larger, better armed force.

What 'regulation' would you suggest that 1.) does not deprive people of their right to own a gun and 2.) can be applied to everyone evenly? and at what point does ANYONE have to deny the right of self-defense?

there is none, because there will ALWAYS be some group of people who would be adversely affected & denied the right by no fault of their own.
I have an open source package. It comes in two forms: a no-cost one you can just download, and full-cost one where you pay me and I provide support. Both are MIT-licensed. It's a Python library and set of command-line tools for chemical similarity search.

I've had a few sales. Those plus support renewals make me about $25K/year. Consulting and custom software development augment my income.

Recently I was at a workshop, and found that actually many companies use my software. I had no idea it was so widely used. One even presented the results of some 60 CPU days spent using my software. They used the no-cost version, and had never considered paying me for it.

(I asked. They said they had no internal mechanism to give gifts to open source developers. I said I could offer them a PO. They said they would need to justify it. I said I had a new version with better performance and more capabilities. It was a frustrating conversation.)

I am not convinced that the open source, no cost, business model, where you hope that people are "happy to buy a support contract", will work for this combination of product and field. It may be that there simply aren't enough users in my field to support an open source company in the way you describe.

So while I know it works for some - as you said - I believe for me and this product, a non-free/open source license would make me more money than a free license.

I have a few concrete problems I've come across in selling free sofware.

Given that I distribute a software product, how do I provide an evaluation version of the newer, better library? Do I simply trust that they will either pay me or not use it? If they do use it anyway, do I shrug my shoulders and walk away?

How do I do market segmentation? That is, if a non-profit research site, or academic group, wants to use my software, do I give them a discount? But these are also the groups where some graduate student might look at it, see that it's open source, and put it on their github account.

Which is fine. I support them doing that. But I need to price things appropriately. So it's odd that I may need to charge more for academic groups than I do pharmaceutical company (pharma being my main customer base), because academic groups are riskier sales than pharmas.

Now, I could simply give it away at no cost, and hope there is enough support contract interest for the future. But I get the strong sense that people will do a one-off purchase to get the software even if they aren't willing to get a support contract after they download and start using it.

Too bad lots of other applications also use DNS so that solution will only work for websites.
At the risk of wading into a fraught discussion, here's an example from yesterday: http://www.defense.gov/News-Article-View/Article/802828/cart... . Bug bounty programs have proven very effective in private industry (e.g. when Chrome pays security researchers who find vulnerabilities). The Defense Digital Service just completed one of the first bug bounty programs for the federal government. This is my personal opinion, but if bug bounty programs become more common in the government, that would mean that lots more people would be protected from hacks or identity theft.

To give another example that's under the umbrella of the US Digital Service, https://www.vets.gov/playbook/ is an attempt to bring resources for veterans into a single website. Right now, veterans may have to navigate 1000+ websites, 956 different 1-800 numbers, and just deal with more hassle than they should.

I interviewed at the US Digital Service but ended up at the Defense Digital Service because that's where I thought I could help the most. There's some good info about the sort of projects that people at the USDS/DDS work on at https://www.usds.gov/work if anyone is interested. 18F at https://18f.gsa.gov/ is also doing great work, with the extra benefit that people can work for the 18F remotely. 18F has also been a proponent for more open source in the government: https://fcw.com/articles/2016/03/25/noble-open-code.aspx
Wait.. so I am Ford the car company and I own ford.com. A competitor (Kia?) could bid 100 million dollars for ford.com, and I would have to pay 10 million dollars to keep my own domain?

The retail price of goods and services is determined by supply and demand, not cost plus markup. Registrars will sell you both 99¢ domains that nobody wants and premium domains at thousands of dollars. Supply just increased thanks to new TLDs, yet demand seems to be moving slow to these new options. When more of the new TLDs are registered and adopted by the market, overall prices will go down. Eventually, if a blockchain-driven domain registry takes hold, ICANN domains may become free or even disappear.

Indeed every great human achievement had been accomplished with great human suffering and injustice. But perhaps that's the reality of the human condition, and nothing is ever going to change that.
Discouraging. Demolishing Larung Gar was likely on China's to-do list, but was probably moved-up in response to Obama's meet with the Dali Lama last week. China's real motivation in Tibet is water, arable land and secondarily eliminating a religious threat to central party rule. Everything else is pretense. Israel's motivation in Palestine is its own security from universally acknowledged threats it faces from its neighbors. There is no longer any occupation, no Israeli sovereign claim over Palestinian sovereign territory, and there are no resources to grab and no pretenses needed for Israel to justify its actions. A better comparison would be Russia in Crimea, where under the pretense of protecting a pro-Russia minority, Putin makes a grab to control oil and natural gas resources in the area which Ukraine previously sought to exploit.
