You can read the entire main tutorial for free (https://learn.andrewmunsell.com/learn/jekyll-by-example/tuto...). I have some additional stuff on there for those that want it, but the actual Jekyll tutorial is there.
"Is there a way to find positions with research freedom in the private sector without first becoming established in academia?"

Define "established"?
The choice faced is either allowing unsustainable societies to die off, or subject ever more children to the unspeakable tragedy of being forced to live in those societies. This may sound harsh, but the world simply cannot sustain all of the children that humans choose to produce. The compassionate and humane thing to do is ensure that these people do not pass on their legacy of misery.
Someone fixed that; here it is:

I'm not sure the html will be clean enough to edit, sadly...
Yeah. To be fair, I'm a bit of a dandy.

The hardware itself doesn't look too bad, but I'm really not a fan of the thin line visor-part it attaches to.

Encoding domain names in the block chain probably isn't optimal, have you looked at Namecoin?
It seems to me, that for your particular problem domain, the solution is simply to be hosted in a country that is unlikely to serve you a subpeona for the kind of information you're dealing with - ie. most western European countries and the US. Iceland seems to be on a data protection binge lately. You "no names" policy further protects you in this regard.
Technically, this is what high school is supposed to do. That's why the government is willing to pay for it.

If it's not doing that, we probably need more of it. Maybe move all the "general liberal-arts undergrad education" into just being grades 13-16?
Off topic, but is your username missing a "ke"?
“people still cannot be freely outspoken under their real identities”

Sure they can, and millions of us are. If people couldn’t be, Facebook wouldn’t exist.

”When people on the Internet cross the line”

That’s not a given. I never hide my identity and it has only worked out positive for me. There are assholes online and offline, I sure as hell won’t let any of them limit what I say or do.
Words change their meaning over time. "Phone" used to mean "device wired into the wall used for spoken communication."

Now it means, "Pocket computer that's usually connected to the Internet."

What's wrong with that?
Google is great at producing technology. But most people don't want technology; they want products. Google is pretty clueless when it comes to making products.[1]

The fact that they are working with fashion shows and Warby Parker is a good indicator.

It's a good indicator that design is an afterthought to them. Which is more likely?

a) Google approached the company at the beginning of the project and worked with them throughout the process.

b) Google approached the company toward the end of the project, after the technical components were done.

Given the outcome and Google's track record, I'd say B is more likely.

That being said, I think the philosophy behind the product development of Google Glass (and most other Google products) is to to focus on being competitive in features, then the marketing is the icing on the cake.

Competitive with what? Smartphones? No one will buy Google Glass as a replacement for a smartphone. Marketing is everything for a product like this.

From that point of view, having developers trying them first so that great ideas can be implemented before the mass market makes more sense.

Google is doing this because they see developers (gadget geeks) as their evangelizers. They're replaying the Gmail strategy. But Gmail doesn't make you look like a guy with a cell phone clipped to his belt.

[1] There are some exceptions, like Google Maps and Google Now.

And what are you doing, if not clinging tightly to the "engineers are special" and "the geek shall inherit the earth" scripts? Are you seriously trying not to be condescending or are you just tossing out some boilerplate CYA?
Do you mind if I ask which parts of Octopress you found most useful?
This is actually folly: both vimscript and lisp are both turing complete language (read can both make a computer do everything a computer is capable of doing), so even know LISP might have nicer syntax/cooler paradigm, what have you: it doesn't matter, you can achieve the same thing in VIM Script. I am a VIM user, although not a fanatical one, I see the merits of having a language like eLISP for emacs, but honestly I think they are both outdated. If I wasn't so partial to using a command line editor (I use the terminal a lot), i'd switch to Sublime text 2 because it uses python, and I'd rather use a modern scripting language than either vimscript or eLISP.
>First, science doesn't offer "no answer", it offers that it knows the answer and that the answer is randomness.

As I already stated, this is just flat out wrong. You cannot even do the argument you claim to be against even a modicum of justice. If you have something specific that you disagree with, I would try to provide an answer or point you in the right direction. However, I'm not going to tap out a dissertation for someone who is clearly woefully ignorant of even the basics. For starters, the question of the origin of the universe, of abiogenesis, and of the evolution of life are completely separate questions. You reveal yourself to be completely misinformed when you conflate these three separate issues.

But yeah, keep on beating that "randomness" strawman to a pulp. Feel free to offer specific questions if you want to actually engage in a conversation. But make no mistake, nothing you have said so far shows even the faintest understanding of what you claim to be against.
How do you put downloaded themes into Sublime Text 2?
This is pretty much Textmate to a T. Uses OS X conventions, heavily configured for doing real work out of the box instead of installing 10 packages, has a built-in system for language definitions and plugins. Auto-updates which will include language and theme updates as well.

It's more to do with certain services (SatoshiDice) sending very small, useless transactions through the network (SatoshiDice is a gambling service, they send a small transaction to tell you you lost). All those small transactions put a burden on the network.

Regarding the CP URL, it was actually several hundreds of links in a large FAQ, and I don't think this changes anything regarding encoding data in the block chain.
I didn't mention Glass at all in my reply. I was speaking of the general attitude people take whenever something new and foreign comes along. It's an experiment... it could go really swell, or be rather disastrous. I think the risk is worth seeing what comes next.

And speaking of Glass and distractions.. can you not imagine a future where you don't have to "interact" much with Glass at all? But rather, it just kinda knows what you want and presents that information at the right time?

Also by building "better relationships with each other" I didn't mean Glass will somehow make you and your girlfriend or boyfriend connect on a deeper emotional level. I meant that humanity as a while could discover deeper empathy for each other and be able to divert resources and take action more appropriately for the benefit of humans or the whole planet. Well Glass alone isn't going to do all of that, but I think it is a tiny screw in a system that perhaps will.

Child abuse is a serious issue and I applaud any campaign that aims to help bring it to the spotlight. I have a couple of serious questions about the campaign though:

1) What if a child is abnormally tall? They wouldn't get to see the advertisement. And trust me. I have a cousin who was taller than most average adults when he was 11 years old (might not be the average, but certainly tall enough the number wouldn't be seen by him).

2) The campaign aims to hide the number from adults, but what if the adult was abnormally short, they would see the campaign. Would this be a big deal? Probably not, but it does show a flaw or two in the ideas behind the campaign.

3) Is this enough? The intentions are noble and clear, but is a poster with magic number enough to help? Most people will see a poster with a beaten up kid, but no number, so it kind of loses effect. If the number was always visible it might be of more help and doubtful it would be any child in danger. The money spent on this campaign will far outweigh any benefit it provides and it somewhat saddens me.

The number #1 thing kids who are abused have mostly in common is that they go to school. Teachers are exceptionally good at spotting signs of abuse and reporting it, it's highly encouraged especially here in Australian educational communities. Posters with the number clearly displayed being plastered around school grounds and playgrounds would probably be more beneficial and helpful in my opinion as parents or perpetrators are most likely not following the kids they're abusing around the school between classes.
"The ones I've read so far, however, sound awful. Getting spammed with advertisements walking down the street? Getting background on that person you are talking to who's name slipped your memory seems like a nice thing."

Do you have a source for these?

Are you just purposely reading bad reviews of Google Glass? I have read a lot of positive reviews of it along with bad ones. However, pretty much everybody who have actually tried it ended up liking it.

I have not seen Glass serve ads and Google is actually banning developers from serving them. Also, there's no face recognition for you to figure out people's names.

As somebody who have tested Glass since last year, I think it's a very useful device.

Google has been careful about Glass, not wanting it to be a device for distraction. It is pretty evident on the Glass API where they are very careful on what they opened to developers.

I'd suggest you read reviews from people who have actually used Glass.
I think you are assuming a lot about me. I am not an engineer nor do I have a special affinity for engineers. I haven't stepped foot in the Silicon Valley (although I've been to lots of other places). Also, I think a potato farmer has as much potential to change the world as any engineer.
It worked pretty well for me, on the first year, too. Things went downhill from there, to a point I conciously looked for a job in an actual office to keep me "alive".

Since that, I've lost almost 40 pounds of the 70 I gained while working from my cave, a gazzilion hours a day. Working from home requires a HUGE dose of discipline - otherwise, either your work or your personal life will suffer.
Susan Crawford’s crusade against lousy, overpriced Internet providers
I think folks are looking at this device as a technological innovation and forgetting that it is also a fashion accessory. I'm hoping Google doesn't make that mistake, but early commentary seems to suggest they are.
How do you imagine Glass would look like?

Also keep in mind that it should be technically possible.

Contact lens should be best but right now, that technology doesn't exists.
Well I did laugh so I can't have missed by that much :)
I've never been able to get comfortable using emacs no matter how hard I try.

Even vim is just bearable for me and if I'm not using Sublime Text 2, I'm probably using nano.

I hear what you're saying about having a CLI at the ready though. If SublimeXiki worked any better (or is it just me?), I'd say you could easily switch. I'm hoping maybe something coming down the pipe in ST3 will make our situation a little better.
I like Glass but I find the skit pretty hilarious.

It's nice that Google Glass gets the pop culture treatment. IPhone has been featured on SNL several times but never for Android.

I think the disclaimer would defeat the whole purpose of the ad.
Disclaimer: I am not an exobiologist. Nor have I read more than the abstract and conclusion of the paper so far. However I do have an interest in exobiology and try to keep up with developments in the field.

To summarize the paper: They have developed some new models that show it is theoretically possible that Kepler-62e and Kepler-62f could be warm water worlds. Their models also show that with the new generation of telescopes coming online, such as the James Web Space Telescope, it should be possible to determine if Kepler-62e and Kepler-62f are actually warm water worlds.

If these two planets do turn out to be warm water worlds, it would be big news, as some of the elements for 'earth like' life would be present on two exoplanets – abundant liquid water. If I remember correctly, there is some other work being done (not related to this paper) on obtaining an atmospheric spectra of transiting exoplanets. This could tell us the chemical makeup of the planets atmospheres and we could possibly see various markers that would indicate life.

All up, it looks to be pretty exciting, but we are going to need some bigger and better telescopes before we know more. Keep watching this space!

Just because two different things, like two different languages, have the same potential doesn't mean they're equal.
What genetic algorithms do is validate the process of evolution and deriving complexity through unguided processes. While this doesn't "prove" biological evolution, it shows that there is nothing inherently impossible about greater complexity being derived from lesser complexity. I'd say this is a very important result.

not sure pruning the blockchain is really possible. most of the earliest coins are not even spent and many are likely lost; this was something satoshi may not have thought through completely as pruning the blockchain was something he specifically talked about.. but many of the 'deep' coins are still unspent and anything 'above' them is unprunable.
Maybe we should take all kids away from their parents and let the state raise them. After all, that will certainly protect one kid from an abusive situation, so it is wonderful. <sarcasm, obviously />

I don't have a strong opinion on the advertisement, but I do have a strong opinion about the "do anything to protect one X" where X is used more for special interests than out of actual concern for X.

Things should be thought of in terms of cost-benefit. Otherwise, you wind up with crap like the TSA, where far more people are dying from driving due to not flying because of horrible TSA policies than the TSA is saving from terrorist attacks.

So, on the advertisement, it is a good thing to cause emotional distress to all the kids who aren't being abused and who have no idea that kind of thing exists?

(And, fwiw, I take this topic very seriously. I have four kids myself and was abused growing up. It is not just an academic, somebody-else's-kids topic to me.)

EDIT: Oh, and I completely agree with your second point. Child abuse is an amazingly serious topic. There are few things worse than the person whom you are supposed to trust most and who is supposed to care most for you violating that trust.
Fighting Words Against Big Data
How would you define work in a networked world?
I think you are missing the point. "pervasive government corruption" is no more or less likely to occur in Asian countries than anywhere else.
The one issue I see with this is that there are too many variables outside commute that make these employees not very swappable (i.e. cultural fit, skillset, etc.).

It's hard enough when it's just one employer and employee involved. Now add another set? If any of the four parties involved aren't good to go... then it won't work.

I could be wrong, but just seems a working scenario is too rare to justify this as a variable business/network.

As one single reader among many, I'd like to say that I find your articles among the best I've ever read. They're always meticulously detailed, and fascinate even if they're about something I would otherwise care nothing about (e.g. the Death Note movie script).

I understand why you'd feel the need to hide yourself when posting something as risky as your Silk Road or Nootropics analyses, but also I hope that one day you'll feel comfortable enough to go public and take your due credit.
Yes, strictly speaking, Turing completeness implies a certain formal equivalence between the two programming languages.

But does this does not an equivalence between systems make, for at least two reasons:

1. Different languages encourage, and make easy, different modes of thought. Lisp promots a certain view of building hte world out of recursive, replaceable pieces.

2. Different systems provide different levels of access to their internals. The vast majority of Emacs is written in Lisp, and can therefore be hooked and rewritten. Its C code is an Emacs interpreter and text editing/rendering engine. Vim provides a great deal of scripting capability and many hooks, but that's still hooks on a system rather than a system that can be freely rewritten on the fly. It feels very different, and can allow different things if Vim is missing the hook you need.
Solving the equation of a hit film script, with data
What “tools” are available in Python standard library
I basically agree with the final conclusion, but I don't think the example given--deleting five lines of text--actually supports it at all. The author is claiming that vim's way of doing it is cryptic (normal 5dd), and then says this about emacs' way:

Define a function for a ‘universal’ n-many operator
( Control-U ), pass that an iteration count integer,
have that perform the pre-defined global
kill-line-of-text operation ( Control-K ).

Vim's solution is conceptually the same: you're in normal mode because that's where you do text manipulation, prefixing commands with numbers is the standard way of repeating an action a fixed number of times, and dd is the pre-defined global delete-line-into-a-buffer operation.

They're both cryptic until you understand what's happening--the only real difference is that vim is less explicit, because this kind of action is exactly what vim is best at.

I suspect that there's a better example for demonstrating emacs' power, but I don't know emacs well enough to provide it. Vim is probably my favorite piece of software, but there are certainly things emacs does better.
Don't shy away from technical content. I used to program as a teenager, but ended up not going into computer science. I mainly focused on learning whatever would help me accomplish a short-term goal (usually creating a game). Now I am a doctoral student and mainly program for research purposes, and sometimes regret not focusing on more difficult material like algorithms, applied mathematics, and low-level languages. There is high returns to the stuff that seems boring as a teenager, but a lot of that stuff will be relevant even if the language you choose to learn now turns out to be unpopular when you try to get a job.
I would hope that most teachers are proactive about this. But I can tell you from working with some of the poorer schools, it can be a different world that what you are used to. Some teachers seemed to be apathetic and not very concerned about the students. I wouldn't trust that these schools could be left with taking care of the problem. Hopefully, I'm mistaken.
The general principle here is that if your field has a placeholder which is descriptive such as "Enter search here" (or just "Search") then it's a bad user experience if submitting the form does a search for the literal text "Enter search here". However, if the placeholder is a valid example such as "Isaac Asimov", then it's a good user experience if submitting the form does a search for that actual text, especially where trying out the search is a primary means of demonstrating the product as is the case here.

Another example might be a flight search service where the placeholders for "Departing" and "Arriving" contain "Los Angeles" and "New York" plus valid leave/return dates. If you're trying to show people (who may not be actively looking for a flight at the time) how awesome your service is, clicking on the "Show Flights" button should use those values because the whole point is to demonstrate your service's unique selling proposition.

For a login/demo where your goal is to get people to try the demo and convert into a signup, I suspect you will find it more effective to offer trying a demo account via an obvious, in-your-face call to action rather than dual-purposing your customer login form.
Saying they're both turing complete isn't saying much. Firstly, even when comparing turing complete languages, it can be sometimes easy to pick out a superior one with respect to development (e.g. Brainfuck VS Haskell, also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_tarpit). Secondly, it's not just about turing completeness, it is also about APIs. These languages -- vim script and emacs lisp -- don't live in total isolation, they live in an environment. Thus, it is not only the language we are comparing, but also the environment/API (what can you call? how is it called? how easy is it to do X? how many tools are available at-hand VS tools I have to build myself? etc.)
