Wikipedia has a cancer that deletes information.

For example there was an article on an old BBS game and the only references were to Boardwatch Magazine, web sites no longer in operation, and a user manual made by an independent third party. It was put up for deletion and 15 people voted keep and 4 voted delete and it was deleted. Someone cannot do math at Wikipedia.

I found this happened to other articles. I was quoting Eric S. Raymond on "The Art of Unix Programming" about the history of the GUI and how IBM licensed the Amiga GUI from Commodore http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/taoup/html/ch03s02.html#os... http://www.os2bbs.com/os2news/OS2Warp.html for the Workbench GUI that IBM based the Workplace Shell on. But it was deleted in the OS/2 and Amiga article because Mr. Raymond was 'non-notable' and the editor who reverted my changed claimed he did not have a copy of his book to verify it, so it wasn't a valid source.
Assuming you have an environment where you can build Go already (which basically means having a working local gcc -- it only needs to be able to produce code for the system you will build the code on, it doesn't have to be a cross-compiler for the target system), it is pretty much as simple as defining those variables I mention in the blog post:

export GOOS=linux
export GOARCH=arm
export GOARM=5

Then build the Go compiler tools using the src/make.bash (.bat on Windows) script that comes with the Go source code. That should build the Go compiler for that platform and stick it within your GOROOT bin directory.

Then prior to building anything you're going to put on the chumby make sure those variables are defined so Go knows which compiler to use.

Dave Cheney's tools make this easy to set up for all the different targets but if you only have one non-local target, it is probably easier to just do it manually by setting the env vars and building the Go compiler again.
I think that the fact that your father designs such systems means you're a bit more informed than the general public, in particular more informed than the general Chinese public.

As far as I can see this is just history repeating itself, until the problems are acute nobody will give a damn about the longer term consequences.

Hey, I am a fan of fontdragr. I also have something along the lines; http://wordmark.it . I tried to implement a similar drag and load functionality but never got to finish it. Great work. Congrats and best of luck to typezebra too.
I realize the next comment may come off as insensitive, but I don't hear people focusing on the key question:

Kids were bullied generations ago, yet it is only recently that bullying and suicide became a national crisis. What changed? Are bullies more aggressive than they were back then, or are more kids deciding that suicide is the answer, or were suicides related to bullying not reported?
Pvt. Manning leaked classified information while serving as a member of the armed forces. Members of the US Military are subject to significantly higher standards of conduct than are civilians.

Pvt. Manning should consider himself lucky that he's dealing with Obama rather than Bush/Cheney, or it is likely that he would be facing charges of treason and a death penalty rather than just life imprisonment.
Maybe it's because I love life so much that I don't think I would choose suicide over prison. Even if you get sent to prison, that doesn't mean you will be there your entire life. You can still appeal, work towards getting out faster. You can still educate yourself in prison, stay active.

In other words, instead of laying down/giving up/killing myself, I would like to think I would fight my oppressors and protect my rights to be alive and happy by whatever means necessary.

Someone mentioned victim-blaming, and perhaps this has transformed into a discussion of suicide "victims" in general rather than Swartzs specific case. I mean no disrespect to the memory of Aaron Swartz, but I do feel compelled to say that given the choice of (a) killing yourself or (b) not killing yourself, one of these choices illuminate your personal fortitude and character.

Well put, but in the context of this post, I think the parent comment is valid. The title, "US Attorney Chided Swartz On Day of Suicide", seems to imply blame rather than shedding light on an injustice.

The nightmare that keeps Microsoft awake is that the idea of "the desktop" might become irrelevant.

While the metaphor was useful in its day, the trend-setters I encounter (who are not programmers) seem far more concerned with new notions of "presence," they view my focus on controlling my own little world as quaint, and they resent being tied to any particular device.

I am naive about this case. If one particular prosecutor had it so badly against him, could he not appeal at the higher level after this decision?
I grew up in a household with harsh winters and coal as the only heating source. As such I can state, that coal is a pretty inconvenient heat source. You have to carrie all the coal you burn from the basement, it requires time to start up, needs permanent oversight and it's almost impossible to adjust the heat to the exact level you want. So my hope is that, as China becomes wealthier, they will abolish coal as a heating source, just for convenience.
It is necessary for you to actually read the citations referred to by that page (which is just a general summation, not an authoritive declaration on the authority of federal prosecutors), since federal criminal statutes generally do not give "plenary discretion" to federal prosecutors. See ISAM 9-2.020 (The United States Attorney is authorized to decline prosecution in any case referred directly to him/her by an agency unless a statute provides otherwise.)

This is why the law is complicated: you cannot read a law in a vacuum; you must read it in conjunction with all other laws bearing upon the same issue.

statistically, selling ads that way, "leads" is not a lucrative one at all - the margin is in the low single digit. It's a volume play and huge volume in that. To us, that's not interesting at all.

Nice one on the OBL. ;-)
I found this interesting:

"With MIT President Emeritus Charles M. Vest currently serving as a Trustee of JSTOR parent Ithaka as well as a Trustee of The MIT Corporation, one might have expected MIT to issue a statement similar to the let's-put-this-behind-us one JSTOR made on the Swartz case back in 2011."

I had been wondering if JSTOR was really as hands-off as they made themselves out to be. This suggests at least one financial incentive MIT might have had for cooperating on this case.

It makes sense for a new entrant that doesn't have an existing ecosystem to only support apps that are compatible with the big players. If you're android or apple, you can ask developers to build native apps. It's a struggle for microsoft and RIM to get developers building native apps, no company smaller than them has a hope in hell of getting developers to build apps for their platform, unless they can offer compatibility.

Sure, native apps have advantages. But those advantages only exist if native apps exist, and for all the new mobile platforms, native apps don't really exist.
If that's true, then I think you need to follow up with the authorities, i.e., by sending your website to the California state Department of Justice, which has the authority to investigate these matters, or else to the consumer protection agency.

Unfortunately, there have been a great many scams like this in the past 4 years and this guy may have just slipped through the cracks as a result of staff cutbacks.

The authorities will likely be grateful to you for any assistance you can provide them, i.e., by helping them locate other victims.

Read it later for Places
Imagine you're on holiday and found a good restaurant for dinner. To find this place later again, just get your iPhone out, hit the Visit it later button and eat well that evening. But there are so many other ways to use Visit it later: Mark the stores where you can get the presents for christmas, locate your car at a big car park, mark places you want to visit later when you're in a hurry, etc. Want to get notified when this cool app launches? Take a look at http://www.visititlater.com and stay in touch.
I can see that argument, but I guess I just don't think I'd personally make that decision in the case of lengthy imprisonment. It's probably a laudable one, but my interest in not spending decades in a claustrophobic situation without freedom, subject to what seem like fairly frightening possibilities (high prevalence of prison rape, etc.) would likely outweigh my desire to live an inspiring life as a prison activist. I think the fact that you can't change your mind later is what frightens me about it in particular. If, a few years in, it's so horrible that I really would rather be dead, it's too late to do anything about it at that point; once you go in, there really is no escape.

In just about any other case I would agree with your assessment of the choice, though. Most seemingly hopeless situations are really not hopeless.
That does not mean that someone who goes to a law school like Harvard's is not smart enough to learn about the high level concepts driving things things outside legal education. This is especially true for someone who goes through said school and strives to become a prosecutor with political ambitions. For if they attain high level success as a prosecutor and in the political arena yet they cannot understand the fundamental difference between malicious intent and a prank rooted in activism then they are a scary person to be in a position of power. They will be making and implementing policy decisions with arbitrary and personal bias not hard facts.

Someone in a position of power is not strong unless they know when to apply the full amount of power entrusted to them and when to practice restraint; when and how to apply less so that the level of punishment is commiserate with the crime being prosecuted. It is bad for our society to give give someone a pass when they over prosecute a crime in both the short term and the long term.

JSTOR is merely a repository; it does not control what journals do with their articles.

Some contributors to JSTOR also make their articles freely available online. Many do not. Either way, it's not for JSTOR to decide.
I take an evening stroll of at least one hour every single day, even if it's drizzling (I don't go out if it's raining, I'm not that crazy.) It's my moment for thinking about where I'm at with my life, make a sanity check (working crazy hours on a startup requires frequent sanity checks), ponder what should be my next steps and occasionally, even think about some work-related stuff.

I don't know whether it's the walking, the solitude (not many people walking around where I live and I only have to cross about 5 roads in a 4mi walk), the soft music I walk to, or what, but it works wonders.

As you your point: I'm definitely in a minority here. Unfortunately the other guys have mostly forgotten how to use their legs and complain even when having to walk a couple blocks down the road to fetch food. It's quite sad, actually :/
Not to mention that he intended to distribute the articles for free, turning this into a billion dollar case. I am 100% for open access, but the public and current law isn't. People blaming prosecutors are looking for a scapegoat where there just isn't one.
In the work that pretty much started the discipline of suicidology and one of the most important books in sociology, Émile Durkheim's 1897 "Suicide", it is made clear that the environment you are in does matter. Alghough the text is highly flawed (biases, sexism, logical faults here and there), but the basic idea prevails.

Up till that point, it didn't occur to people (as it does not seem to occur to you) that something as intimate as committing suicide might be deeply linked to more social factors.

People are right to point fingers, the context that one is in influences the decisions they make, the options that they think they have.
You're definitely right about that.

On the other hand, I don't think I'm any better informed than Chinese policy makers or technologists in the energy sector. I mean, the technology we're talking about really isn't rocket science: a precipitator is just a pair of plates charged to high voltage with dirty air forced through.

Moreover, Chinese elites certainly travel to the US and Europe and Hong Kong (indeed, many attend colleges abroad) and they get the differences in air quality very well. I would be very shocked if said elites never went back home and inquired as to the difference and what it would take to eliminate it.

My guess is that they could substantially reduce power plant emissions for an increased electrical cost of at most a few percent. On the other hand, I think China uses coal with a much higher sulphur content than is typically used in the US and they have substantial non-power-plant coal burning....
Interesting point. What is essentially a two party system doesn't really allow smaller groups to participate in high level political discourse.
Google has several billions in free cash lying around to do stuff like this, and many billions more coming in from its various income sources.

JSTOR does not many billions in cash, nor any income sources other than access fees.

Ergo, JSTOR must continue to charge an access fee so that it can continue to perform its function of archiving articles and providing access to those articles.

Atheism should not depress you, some religions are atheistic like Buddhism. If you don't see a reason or purpose for life, then make some for yourself. Don't let evil people win who push you towards suicide. I know the feeling I've been bullied and abused by people who told me to kill myself. But I refuse to let them get to me anymore.

At least live for friends and family members who care about you and want you to live. That has to be some sort of rational reason to live right there. If not then find a irrational one like live to see what is new in comic books, movies, TV shows, technology, science, medicine, etc. Just live to see the new stuff come out and enjoy it. Some people live with no known reason or purpose to live, they live because they are alive.

You define your own meaning to life, don't let others force theirs on you. That is your rational reason and rational purpose to live, to find meaning in life. See you are on a quest to learn that, so live it the best way you can without harming others.
This sounds about right, thank you.

NG would require a substantial capital investment; running pipelines everywhere is not cheap. It might still be cost effective if the environmental costs of coal burning could be internalized so that coal-burners paid a price, but China seems very far from a Clean Air Act, let alone a cap and trade regime.
If that were the case, they would not be a non-profit. The IRS zealously audits nonprofits (except for the religious ones) to make sure that their resources are not going to the benefit of insiders. Penalties for such situations are...extreme.

how do people feel about MIT's negligence of making an active decision on the matter; thereby passively contributing to fed's attempt to make the case?
Carmen Ortiz, Bostonian of the Year.

http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/2012/11/04/ma...

Russ Caswell is not charged with any crime, but next week
he'll be in a federal courtroom fighting to keep a motel
his father built almost six decades ago. ...

"They are holding me responsible for the actions of a
few people who I don’t know and I've never met before,
people who rent a room,’’ Caswell said. "Out of thousands
of people who stay here, a handful do something wrong
and they’re trying to blame me for it." ...

"The government believed that this was an important
case ... because of the important deterrent message it
sends to others who may turn a blind eye to crime
occurring at their place of business," said Christina
DiIorio-Sterling, a spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Carmen
Ortiz.

Under a provision of the forfeiture law known as
"equitable sharing," if the government wins, the
Tewksbury police department could receive up to
80 percent of the proceeds from the sale of the motel,
which is assessed at about $1.3 million, Caswell said.

Criminal forfeiture laws require a person to be convicted
of a crime before property can be taken, but civil
forfeiture allows prosecutors to take properties without
convicting anyone.

The government generally does require that publicly funded research be made publicly available without cost. However, that same statute grants agencies the right to have such research withheld from public distribution for various reasons (though "national security" is the most popular).

JSTOR charges an access fee so that it does not have to waste resources on constant fundraising.

Fundraising for nonprofits is not like fundraising in SV. Nonprofits can easily spend 50% of their income on fundraising because it is damned expensive to convince people to donate.
We prefer SaaS because of:
1. Data Safety (and sometimes for high risk information companies prefer a desktop app for privacy)
2. Multi-Platform
3. Access from everywhere
4. A better UX (in most cases)
5. Maintenance,Maintenance and Maintenance (a bug in your desktop app is terrible, but SaaS? you can solve in for all customers in a second)
6. Prevent hack and cracks! (That's really a huge money-loss)

Really these are very serious problems.
But there are some cases you should use desktop apps.
