He means that India is a large (as in population, which is an indicator of possible industrial and economic power, military, etc) country that is a democratic country as well. That's important because democratic countries tend to align together, since public opinion matters and public opinion generally favours peace, especially against other countries that also generally want peace. So, the importance of India is that it could act as a counterweight to China in Asia. China obviously is an economic giant, but as a military power it is largely regional and has little ability to project force. A powerful India limits its abilities in Asia.
I haven't had problems printing on Linux in years. I can't remember the last time I had a hard time printing on Linux. I hate printers, because they all suck (well, I had some nice high end laser printers in the past that were great), but In fact, I generally find myself booting into Linux to print and scan because my printer and scanner are old and don't have modern Windows drivers (this is true of several devices, including some that I don't consider outdated...high end 24 bit audio interfaces, USB MIDI controllers, etc.).

True! I do think it's a net win-win.
If the last Olympics in the Americas are precedent, they are willing. Some events in Atlanta and Vancouver were an hour away.

Baltimore and DC tried to do a joint bid. Between the two of them they have very fast and efficient public transportation links (DC to Balto. in about 45 mins) but the IOC said no. It was really sad because between the two of us, many of the venues for a summer games already exist. Maybe that was the bigger problem, the IOC and FIFA want brand new venues and don't care if the cities will use them afterwards.

There is only one official Olympic Village and several unofficial ones. Because the alpine events were 60 miles away from downtown Vancouver, those athletes stayed in accommodations on the mountain.
Thanks to our great leader.

I've ran a VPN via Amazon's AWS "free" tier (approx. $5/month for 12 months). Works both on Windows (with appropriate UDP encapsulation configured for IPsec traffic[0][1] on both client and server) or via OpenVPN on Linux.

I'd imagine OpenVPN would work just fine on Linode or DO. And Windows/OpenVPN would also work via Microsoft's Azure platform.

I think you're wrong: as I understand it, many of the consumer USB sticks can be flashed over USB. No soldering required.
Bootstrapping is not excluded from being a startup. 98% of all startups in Canada, for example (tech included) are self-funded.

There ultimately is little freedom from bosses. Either your VC's are, or paying customers are.
I don't know if the current drivers would allow that normally. However they would allow it if you created a fake hub to route through. No way to know if there is a real hub or a fake one between the USB drive/keyboard and the computer.

Back when I decided to pick an economical design tool, I had a four layer board to design and the price was right with KiCad, so I never got into using EAGLE. The clearance issue is one that I do have to wrap my brain around each time I do it, just like pin spacing on custom footprints. I put that down to my own personal issues with keeping three digit numbers straight in my head though, rather than any particular problem with KiCad in general. That's why I consider doing the Gerber visual diff so vital, because it's very easy to tell when you've screwed up the solder vs. paste clearance.

Pride and income. If the USOC boycotts the Olympics, NBC loses because they fund about 25% of the IOC's budget and account for between 40-60% of the broadcast licensing fees the IOC collects. NBC partially funds the USOC as well. So as you stated, not gonna happen.
More like there are a billion of them, and I'm sure they see us as morally inferior, just as you see them. I'm here to understand the issues and make my own decision.

Haven't you ever wondered about something that you knew nothing about? How would you learn about it other than reading and asking questions? I have no idea how you concluded that I might be trolling, especially after I both admitted ignorance and asked to be cut a break for it.

Regarding your list:

- Right to travel: There are many people from China living in the US. Do you have more info about this point? I don't understand how their right to travel is restricted.

- Right to free speech: If you were to try to start a new news organization to compete with CBS/Fox/etc, the organization wouldn't get very far unless it had a clear political agenda and was funded by supporters of that agenda. I'm interested to hear about what it's like in China in comparison to the US.

- Right to read the internet uncensored: There's no debate on this point.

- Right to vote: Candidates seem to be elected based on how well-funded they are. Or rather, no one votes for an underfunded candidate, so these are equivalent. Again, I am interested to hear about China's system, and why it's morally inferior in comparison to this.

Thanks for your time. I realize I probably sound pretty dumb here, but I'm here to learn, not to defend my position. In fact, I have no position. Only questions.

The rule in the '80s and early '90s was never ever exchange floppy disks with anybody and never insert other people's floppy disks in your PC. Enter the LAN and the USB sticks, problem solved. Not.

Reading: "A Game Design Vocabulary" by Anna Anthropy and Naomi Clark.

It's good, I recommend it. She addresses quite well what I think is wrong with a lot of indie games these days, and offers insightful ideas to making games better.
It seems like a minor point, but it really isn't. Worded the first way makes one sound like an ISP attempting to slant perception (like Netflix is doing something wrong), worded the second makes it sound like what's actually happening in the real world (ISP's doing what their customers pay them to do).

Please be careful on this, at least until the NN debate is settled. Words are important.
Denial of service is a legitimate "security" concern in most contexts. No, this isn't shellshock, but it's worth fixing.
"IPv6 can generate more than 1 trillion addresses while the current IPv4 can 'only' generate 4.3 billion addresses."

From wikipedia: "The length of an IPv6 address is 128 bits, compared with 32 bits in IPv4.[5] The address space therefore has 2ˆ128 or approximately 3.4×10ˆ38 addresses. This would be about 100 addresses for every atom on the surface of the earth"

Technically 3.4×10ˆ38 is greater than 1 trillion, so the article is correct, but still... :)

For people that have used the TeX macro language for a long time and have great comfort with it I think it is difficult to grasp how difficult that language is to learn/use even for someone fluent in many other languages.

...it wasn't like NASA was about to do something huge and cooperation with India puts that goal at risk...

Your nested counterfactuals are a little hard to unpack, but if I understand you correctly, it is somewhat the contrary, at least with NISAR. (Oops, I added another counterfactual.) NASA was about to NOT do something huge and the collaboration enabled it happen.

That is, before it became NISAR, the Earth-observing biomass/seismicity SAR mission was called Desdyni (http://decadal.gsfc.nasa.gov/desdyni.html). This mission was referred to as desirable in a 2007 National Academies decadal roadmap (covering the next 10 years), but there were too many other even higher-ranked missions in the pipeline. So it seemed like Desdyni was not going to get on the NASA roadmap any time soon.

The Indian contribution seems to have (for the moment) been enough to get it going, because in February NISAR entered "Phase A" which is NASA-speak for "we are starting the mission". There are later decision points depending on how ready the overall concept proves to be.
Chris Gammell of The Amp Hour is also getting http://kicad.info off the ground and there are some really great people providing advice in there.

I've gotten burned too many times using the built-in libraries (hidden pins in EESchema not being connected to PWR/GND / incorrect pin spacing in CvPCB) so I throw those together by hand now. In EESchema I would have done it anyway, just to get the pins arranged in a way that makes my drawing look purrrrty, but the drawing/verifying of footprints does get tedious.

My understanding is that some features were removed (or significantly modified) in subsequent releases of KiCad post the version I'm using (BZR 4022), specifically the BOM export, so I haven't bothered installing another version yet. I have a series of designs about to go into production so I'm leery to change up before those boards get committed for assembly.

There's an easy way to check: let's see what sells.

Last time I checked, mildly smart home "robots", like automatic cookers, dishwashers, washing machines, even vacuum cleaners sold rather well, and were widely adopted. The smart devices, paradoxically, liberate you from thinking about dull details: you just put some clothes into a washing machine, press a button explaining approximately what type of clothes are there, and walk away. The machine figures the rest.

This is a type of liberation people seem to actually like.

Also, people usually don't like uncertainty puzzling new experiences. Letting people on a stop see where the bus is does make people happier. (Myself I use a mobile web site that shows real-time position of NYC buses, and can attest to that.) If you walk into an unfamiliar store, especially abroad, it could take some time to find simplest items like a bottle of water. If there was a more-or-less unified 'online' interface for finding things in this particular store on your phone, it would make many tourists happier.

> Yet Germany has a very low number of working-class students, for whatever reasons. Usually I think it's the parents' influence (but don't ask me why).

I think there are two reasons:

1. Three-tiered school system: German children are separated after the fourth grade and go to three different schools (Hauptschule, Realschule, Gymnasium) and only if Gymnasium graduates can go to universities. In theory this should happen depending on their academic abilities, but in practice it depends on the ability of your parents to support you in school and their interest in your academic career, too. Parents who went to the Hauptschule may think that this is the best way for their child, too.

2. For many jobs you don't need a degree or better you cannot even get a college degree. Nurses, craftsmen and many more professions are trained in vocational schools (which are counted as secondary education in OECD studies). While a US nurse attends a college (as far as I know) and therefore is counted as tertiary educated.

I like the idea of an online-for-the-masses EDA tool, but I've actually done layout on a laptop in my father's house with no internet connection. There's no way I could cobble together a schematic without being able to look at datasheets, but the PCB layout and routing doesn't necessarily need to be always-connected.

I tried using Upverter either earlier this year or late last year, can't remember when, and I just remember that I struggled with the interface. That's not a smack on Upverter though, just an incompatibility between the tool and the idiot trying to use it :)
As always, it depends on context. I have people who will read my reports and ask endless questions about the data that I can't foresee. These are the people who will appreciate the interactive tool - it allows them to view the data in the way that gives them the most meaning.

On the other hand, sometimes I need to persuasively illustrate a singular point, as you say. In this case, a single non-interactive but stylish and easily interpreted representation fits better.
