Same here - I would pay $1/month without thinking. My max would be maybe $5/month, which I'd have to think about for a bit.
> If you know a little bit about legal procedure dealing with something like this shouldn't be too hard.

Well, responses on here vary from "sue the bank, it's their fault," to "contact/sue the LASD, it's their fault" to "contact the plaintiff's lawyers, they'll fix it" to "contact the defendant's lawyers, they'll pay for it or else."

So clearly, this is likely to cost more than a couple afternoons.

One day, a sheriff showed up at my home and confiscated my guns. Turns out some lunatic that I don't even know had filed a domestic abuse restraining order against me and the state I was in grants a temporary order by default. Took 2 months to resolve this and cost me about $6k in legal fees. Took several months to get my guns back.

While that's not the same as "you're not actually the guy named in the lawsuit", it illustrates how disruptive this kind of thing can be.
"Sound may not work" and "but it will basically work" being in the same sentence is more-or-less why Linux is still not yet ready to take on Windows and OSX in the desktop space.

What you're describing is similar to the situation with mobile devices, only to a lesser degree. Turns out, making an OS run on hardware is challenging and under-appreciated work, and continuing to gloss over the complexity of it doesn't do solving the problem of open-source OSes any favors.
Definitely Hong Kong. I just came back from a holiday there and the bus ride from the airport to Kowloon amidst towering brutalist apartments made me feel like I'm entering a dystopian metropolis.

> One of the reasons they wouldn't do it is because emulators and ROMs are already rampant on PC and mobile

Then why do many other game developers and publish make PC ports of their old titles which use emulators?

Why is Nintendo different?

That you can emulate old titles for free isn't stopping people paying for them, clearly.
It's important to have statistics instead of just opinions. Especially if you want to change future regulation.

That's a good service to have I needed it and was referred but ten days later still no callback. And there was deadline I had to honour long passed. There was little time between when I needed the lawyer which I can't afford and the deadline. Scumbags know the law so well you are screwed for time trying to fight anyone.
You still have control over your computer in this case, just not their distribution service. You can even install Nesbox's UWP app, if you want, without using the Windows Store, as UWP is not actually a locked down system.
I have always seen piracy of media after 17~ years as purely productive. No jobs are lost and modern generations are enjoying media which would otherwise have been lost to time.
I would wager that more than likely it's because it's a fairly insubstantial sarcastic post, and quite a few posters on HN prefer that posts have content that drive the discussion related to the topic as opposed to comments like the parent.

From my point of view, the parent is somewhat incorrect in that we've always had companies trying really hard to lock down what we can and cannot do - since the NES/SNES days Nintendo was doing copy protection and restriction of their hardware, I believe the other players at the time did as well.

Your comment is much more substantial in that it provides a point of discussion, despite the somewhat condescending "...perhaps they are too young to remember..." part. But ultimately entirely rhetorical comments usually are disapproved of, even if the consensus is that the idea behind it is agreed upon.
Also if you go out as a couple, its very boring if both can't have a glass of wine..

Okay, tbh, I'm going to vote against all map points on the de rigeur "tech metropolis" list.

TOKYO, HK, SHANGHAI, SHENZHEN, SEOUL, or <insert yet-another East-Asian megacity here.>

No to all of them. Why? They're really more capitalist mega-aggregations of labour and value...tech, either consumer-side or industry-side and any, cyber-punk under-side to these places is really, despite their (arguably somewhat faded) romance, these days is a side effect ( okay, maybe 1990s-era Harajuku FRUiTS style aside ).

I'm going to vote for someplace in Africa as actually the most cyberpunk.

I've never been there, but bear with me. High mobile phone usage but lots of shanty towns, mobile finance but still open air barter markets. And they do a lot of destroy/recycle/resell of tech ( old computers, old tvs, old batteries, old ships ). It's technologically advanced, but it's also still animist and voodoo. The internet didn't just "get adopted", it got "inhaled" and started changing everything, because things were still flexible enough to be changed.

Look maybe I'm just TOOMA, and someone who actually knows and has lived there can set this perspective straight. But for sake of freshness of updating the conception of "cyperpunk" I'm going against the grain of passing the crown around the clique of Asian megacities, to someplace maybe a little more grungy, maybe a little more deserving of the mantle of "cyberpunk".

A place where you could still imagine, perhaps, an organic "phreaking" culture existing even today, accompanied by reverse engineering and zines, distributed by bicycle couriers to people cool enough to be included in such secrets.

I know Africa is not glittering spires of glass and steel, but is that really so cyberpunk in our current time? Isn't the essence of cyberpunk something a little more bustling but raw-and-real, and digital but down-to-earth?
You can always use CryptDNS, which prevents this. CryptDNS plus OpenDNS and you're pretty good. Add a VPN and you're doing better than 99% of people online. Add uBlock Origin, Decentraleyes, Privacy Badger, and block http/s referrer, disable mediaconnect (prevents RPC from seeing your RFC 1918s--private address scheme) and you're largely unidentifiable in the true sense.

You can do this for $5 a month by renting a droplet virtual server on Digital Ocean and setting up Streisand. Don't log anything. You will control the VPS/VPN. Use it for your mobile phone and household router (if your router supports this). If not, individual machines, but having a router that does this is key.

Use Opera and it's free VPN until you can get something sorted for yourself.

One question about Voxatron: Can it run on something small (eg. a Raspberry Pi, Gigabyte Brix, or NUC) and played through a regular HDMI TV? And how about using it with a game controller? It seems like this would make a great little "console".
NYC actually has far cheaper cabs than most US cities (who don't have Uber) because the market is extremely different. High demand and high supply 24/7 as opposed to surges. The pricing is also more tightly regulated iirc (haven't looked into the specifics).

When I took the train up to Albany, I wanted a cab to a coffee shop across the bridge. It was a half hour walk vs a 7min car ride. The cab was flat rate into the city so it would have cost $20+ just to take me across the bridge. This would've been a sub-$10 ride in NYC. I walked it, despite the rain.
I'm working on an editor in JavaScript. You would be surprised how fast string operations, like concatenation, are in JavaScript! You can hold the entire buffer in a String! While browsers renders text very well, the DOM is relative slow to interact with, but there are other ways to render in JavaScript, for example the Canvas, or into a terminal, or even stream a video, or talk directly to a display.
I've had a conversation with a well credentialed school principal that had, uh, lost track of the concept of the multiplication table.

It's a string of letters that convey a meaning, so yes, it's a word. It also has the blessing of being listed in most dictionaries.

What you mention are circumstances and excuses that doesn't change anything. The point of the parent post was that in some countries (mine is Norway) you just don't do it, full stop.

Very hypothetically, if someone else got you drunk in the middle of nowhere without your knowledge and there are no taxis available, and it's freezing outside so that you can't sleep under a bush, then not letting you stay the night at whatever house you were in would be similar to murder I guess. A drunk person driving is just off the table and everyone understands it.
I live in one of the few areas of the US that still doesn't have ride sharing services -- upstate New York, where they are banned and still being debated in the state government[0].

I also live in an area where there are 4 colleges and universities in two towns within 10 miles of each other. I went to one of these colleges, and have seen what people do to get to and from the bars first hand. There's one taxi service that I'm aware of, and they charge $30 to go between the two towns, one way. It's a rural area and most roads have speed limits of 55 MPH. Most of the college students are not locals and don't know the roads. Our winters are also harsh and make for dangerous driving conditions even without alcohol. The blotters are full of DUI arrests, accidents, and deaths.

Therefore, unless I have a real need, I don't drive between like 9 PM and 4 AM Friday through Sunday. Why they still haven't passed legislation to allow Uber/Lyft here, other than partisan bickering, I have no idea... I have no doubt that it would help tremendously.

LineageOS user here: This is the best Android distribution I've used, by far. I've used Paranoid Android, Slim8, Dirty Unicorns,... But none get to the level of featured and stability of LineageOS.

Extended per-app privacy settings, built-in root manager, lots of customization options... And the best of all: enormous community. There are builds for crazy amounts of devices.
Until of course they disable installation from other sources than Windows Store in name of "malware protection and security". Boiling frogs and all that.

We (Matrix) have been tracking Cobalt/Croquet on and off since the original Croquet project. Honestly, looking at http://www.opencobalt.net/, things look pretty dead currently though - no news updates since 2010? Should we be looking somewhere else?

To be clear: Matrix tries to be pragmatic above all else, and right now we're just saying "hey, use Matrix for open comms in VR/AR" (a bit like Croquet advocated XMPP back in the day). There is nothing stopping one from using Matrix to add comms into the Croquet metaverse however, and if it's alive and well I'd really hope that someone would try the experiment :)

Figure 2 shows the floor plan; there's a large 256x256 8-bit matrix multiplication unit taking up nearly 1/4 of the die area, and the rest of the chip seems designed to feed it as quickly as possible. It operates at 700MHz and can do a vector-matrix multiplication (1x256 times 256x256) in a single cycle. Neat!

It's a very simple CISC, so there's not a lot of control logic needed (only 2% of die area).

Overall this is very clearly designed for Tensorflow.

Understand that but as a founder, why would you give yourself options over stock? It's your company. That makes no sense. You need to pay in capital in some form.
Having to rebuy the license to pay the same game over and over and over again so you can play it on a slightly updated and still working hardware is downright Kafkaesque.

Nintendo and other copyright holders want to act like you're licensing software (so they don't have to be beholden to first-sale doctrine, laws concerning the ability to make local backups and other consumer protections), but they also want to prevent you from using that licensed software on newer hardware and want you to pay for 35 year old game over and over and over and over again. It's downright absurd, how many times do you want us to pay for the same piece of Super Mario code?!

Oakland, CA is a strong contender if you step back. Especially for one of a Stephensonian-styled second-wave cyberpunk. It even plays a part in Neuromancer.

It has its dark parts along with strong facets of common cyberpunk themes: drastic social stratification, the social acceptance of regular drug usage, urban decay meets technocratic renewal, a renewed definition of suburbia, and a greater acceptance of non-binary genders.
As someone who grew up on the web circa 1998, I find the modern web to be shit. The old web flew on my 300 MHz PII with 256 Kbps DSL. The new web crawls on a quad core i7 with 300 Mbps fiber.

But Sturgeon's law being what it is, we're probably stuck with a shitty web. But I wonder if browser makers can do anything to ease the pain a bit. For example, a page will reflow a few times while it loads, making it hard to start reading immediately. I'll often be mousing to the thing I want to click on next only to see everything move. Could browsers coalesce these reflows so that only completed pages are presented to the user?
