For a tech community forum I find this reply quite odd. You pay for many useful internet utilities. I don't see why a simple dating website can't charge so they can make a living.

It's not like going to a social event in real life doesn't have expenses.

Also if your hobbies are programming and gym you will have a hard time finding ladies.

If you don't like drinking or have children that takes out bars.
The old 3d driver model relied on trust. If you ran a 3d program, you have probably installed it and you trust it.

3d program writers spend a lot of time fixing bugs to try and make sure their program does not crash users machines. I've been writing 3d code for over 15 years now, and have yet seen a machine that I don't accidentally crash whilst writing code against it.

This has all now changed. WebGL allows anyone to access a much greater section of the 3d hardware than before. The 3d driver writers have not accounted for this in writing their software.

Good for 3d drivers, because now there will be much wider testing with more easily repeatable bug reports. Since it is such a nice attack vector, we should also see more 3rd party testing. Also, this can only increase the amount of people using 3d - so driver writers will definitely need to spend more work on making their code safer against evil input.

I don't think it is as bad with WebGL compared to what you can do with opengl. There's less pointer passing of shared memory regions. Also, all the browsers have black lists for 3d hardware/OS versions already. So if a particular card/driver combination is found to be buggy, they can black list it easily for all users.

tl;dr it definitely is unsafe, but the sky isn't necessarily falling... yet.

This is a great point, and something we're definitely aware of. The short story is that we think it's worth the trouble to build something that provides this for the end user, and we've made some significant progress on that path already.

I thought one of the goals was for it to be fully decentralized. If I'm relying on a nameserver I trust (let's say ICANN starts running their own .bit mirror) then what's to stop ICANN from making edits to whatever they serve up as per what the US government forces them to do? If ICANN adds their .bit TLD mirror to the root servers then we're back at square 1 because most people will consume .bit through the roots. In order to deliver on the promise of decentralization it seems every client must have its own copy by default instead of relying on a trusted authority. I think that doesn't scale very well, though.

Side note: my understanding of bitcoin is that a given bitcoin network requires a central IRC server for command/control of miners. This also won't scale to an Internet-sized volume of clients.
Sorry for the late reply. I'm not a designer myself, just know when a final design is bad or good.

It's remarkable that that competition has managed to emerge under a Labour government in the UK (which inherited a privatized telecom market from the Conservatives around 1995, albeit with only a few B2C competitors), and the stereotypically bureaucratic EU.

If I show up, are we going to "take it outside?"

EDIT: Sorry, I'm being just as bad as the post I'm responding to; I don't mean to troll. Let me explain where I think you went wrong.

You claimed (at least certainly implied) that this was not a worthwhile idea because health insurance isn't really necessary or is not for the majority of people; which one you meant wasn't totally clear. Either way: kids and women comprise a lot of the US population. Kids need health insurance. Women, also, usually need health insurance if they are sexually active (though this isn't always true).

Genetic diseases, mental disorders, accidents, etc. Lots of reasons to have health insurance.

Next point: Health insurance is complicated. It shouldn't be. When I left my job, finding individual health insurance was incredibly painful, and I have excellent credit and no predisposition to disease (and no existing ones). I can't even imagine how hard it would be if either of those weren't true.

So I think you went wrong in that you were short-sighted; just because it doesn't apply to _you_ doesn't mean it isn't a worthwhile or useful idea.

Lots of people can't drive, but somehow the rental car business is still booming.

Good point about the central authority - I would be curious how they think to accomplish that.

In regards to the IRC server - IRC servers can scale horizontally using a multicast type protocol - it's been literally a decade since I've been on IRC but I am sure that this protocol must have improved and that load can always be increased (and also would leave things less centralized).
Amazon has a design aesthetic that I really like. It also fits really well with what Android is doing. The sheer amount of engineering talent that a Google/Amazon partnership would create is astounding.

How did you produce such a well-formatted list? By hand, or do you have some kind of script?
So far Scala is the only language I have looked at that does a decent job of mixing object oriented and functional constructs without making your eyes bleed. Nemerle seems pretty nifty based on it's feature list but I'm wondering what programmers they are targeting. .NET programmers seem pretty happy with C#/F# so they don't have much incentive to adopt another language.
This old saw...

I think most open source folks are writing the stuff while on payroll, at least by volume. Increased sharing is preventing as much work from getting re-done, which is fine because people want more programs than can be supplied by the capable. Nobody looks at garbage collection, one of the biggest programmer-time-savers (and hence eliminators) invented in our art and says "man, they're taking our jerbs."

So perhaps while not disproving your general point, this kind of thing has been going on for a very long time.

Things will be peachy as long as engineering is a growth industry. It'll start to get ugly when the island starts to look more crowded due to a rising ocean. Here's to hoping it doesn't happen to me in my career!

it's so simpo' why not everyone does it?

Carriers have different systems for group and individual insurance. And they have various constraints when they offer plans to groups. And that's what a typical carrier's underwriting system does. It would be interesting to see how this recommendation system would work with employer/group plans.
everyday is a series of lessons that prepares you for tomorrow and beyond. build on it. i think it is generally understood among any startup ceo's that this is what its like. honestly, i don't think it is something that should be openly discussed. i've shared moments of doubt with individuals very close to me, just needing to be human in rough times of building my business, and it did not help. you find inner strength to deal with the challenges and learn to leverage every possible resource to solve each and every problem that comes your way. it is just what you do...or you fail. i love it now that i know what it is, but it does take some time to grow into. and i am not claiming to know what tomorrow will bring, but i know i can handle it, and more importantly, my employees are confident that i have a firm grasp on their future.

In one of my favorite TED Talks, Barry Schwartz talks about this among other things.

In it he tells a story about a study in Switzerland where a community was asked whether or not they would agree to a nuclear waste facility in their area. Amazingly 50% agreed, they then repeated the procedure but offered 6 weeks salary as well. This time only 25% agreed. He claims that as soon as the incentive is introduced people throw out their perceived responsibilities and instead focus on what is best for them. So instead of asking themselves whether or not they should, they ask themselves "is this a good deal for me".

And incidentally, it doesn't take the awesome might of my critical thinking army, arrayed like the crusaders going to war, pennons snapping in the wind, to point out that there are better reasons to avoid the passive voice than 'MS Grammar Check says so'.

On the one hand this is sound analysis, Apple and Google do look stupidly overpriced, and MSFT does look stupidly underpriced. However, I think there is an underlying rationality to these phenomena. I am not convinced that MS will even be a major player in the industry in the next 20 years, due to failing to miss opportunity after opportunity in capturing new markets and reacting well to defend or migrate their existing high revenue products from disruptive innovation. Meanwhile, Google and Apple continue to expand their businesses at an impressive pace, in some cases creating new multi-billion dollar markets as they do so.

Given the expected substantial growth of per-capita wealth throughout parts of the developing world (e.g. much of Asia especially China, parts of India, much of South America, parts of Eastern Europe, etc.) and the consequent expansion of the population of the affluent, developed world the potential future market in the computer software/hardware/services industries is likely to be enormous. The companies that manage to cement themselves firmly into the future mainstream mechanisms for people to buy physical and digital goods online as well as the mechanisms for obtaining access to the online world will be well seated to collect substantial revenues from that expanded market. And Apple, Google, and Amazon are much better situated and seemingly much more capable of capitalizing on new forms of markets than Microsoft is. I believe all of that is, to varying extents, reflected in their respective stock prices, and I think it's a very valid view of the state of those companies.
It supports any browser in theory, as it just operates on the DOM. You may want to load Sizzle.js beforehand to give you more powerful CSS selectors for older versions of IE.

In reality you will want to use SVG to create anything impressive, so this means WebKit (Chrome, Safari), Firefox, Opera, IE9. And potentially IE6-8 if the SVGWeb Flash fallback supports all the SVG features you need.

This was only true some time ago, unfortunately. The technique used by both companies to achieve speed increases is called 'pipelining', which essentially means you can have a different instruction in each bit of the processor (so, the ALU, the instruction fetch, the memory unit are all doing different instructions). The problem with this is that pipelining only works on instructions that have a very regular format, and run in a similar number of clock cycles, and the only way to keep instructions heterogeneous is to not have very many of them!

Intel, however, supports a massive instruction set, with some hugely complex instruction. They do this by actually "compiling" their complex instructions on the chip to a format which looks a lot like ARM instructions, which they call micro-ops.

I would say that the ARM architecture is inherently better, because it does not waste all this silicon to do instruction translating, and you know exactly what is being executed on the processor, simplifying the job of the hardware designer, and allowing them to focus solely on performance (/power consumption/whatever), and allowing compilers to do instruction level fine tuning.
Well, "misconduct" and "deliberately misleading" are pretty strong charges for a technical matter. There's always a tradeoff between security and convenience. Soghoian's framing of the issue is completely sensationalistic, befitting of MSNBC or Fox News.

I mean, reporting it to the FTC? The same FTC which fined Rock Star over the Hot Coffee mod? Which went after Viacom for Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction?

That is right but the XScale processors were designed as network processors for layer2/3 switches. By today's standard XScale processors are very slow and outdated.

This is a good project that attempts to add a bit of freedom back to the internet, but the DNS concept is not the right thing for a truly free internet.
