Well... Considering the word racist is thrown around so easily it's debatable when it can be applied to whom.

What we do know is that they were purposely offensive, even in the fact of possible threats.

That means they maybe lacked judgement or respect or other things.

Orthogonal to that, we have the ideal expectation that one should be able to write/draw absolutely everything without being punished with violence.

Of course, that should apply to speech no matter what the issue and, sometimes, it seems that "freedom of speech" or its prosecution is decided based on who the governments consider the enemy.

Free speech doesn't require antagonizing anyone. I don't advocate censoring ourselves out of fear, but I wouldn't defend sticking our tongues out at a bully, even if we're on the moral high ground. We would be better served by expressing ourselves in ways that promote understanding other cultures, not widening the divide between them.

That's a particularly poor example (plans for a nuclear bomb) if you're trying to make the case that, at least in the US, there's "no such thing[]" as free speech.

In fact, it was a form of plan for an atomic bomb that is the textbook case about prior restraint of speech in the US.

Ugh. Well, I suppose it might be OK as long as it doesn't inherit anything about the DRAM hardware interface. Seriously, if you haven't seen how it works (test: are the timings tCAS, tRCD, tRP, tRAS familiar?) you are dramatically underestimating how ugly and restrictive the interface is. It's completely inappropriate for anything but DRAM and probably inappropriate for modern DRAM too. If not, it's probably because backwards compatibility with the interface has constricted DRAM design.

Speaking of which, I'd love to read a modern analysis of chip-to-chip serial vs parallel if anyone has one handy.

They did this cartoon to denounce the way the French Minister of Justice was mocked in some conservative demonstrations around marriage equality and access to assisted procreative technologies as a monkey. People were shouting "Taubira (the minister's name), eat your banana" at these demonstrations, and this cartoon denounces that. The name is even a wordplay on the name of the French main far-right party.

I don't think a fast lane means what you're saying. It means packet prioritization, so that a saturated network delivers the "fast" packets sooner and/or more reliably.

Do you honestly think plans on how to build a nuclear bomb is reasonable and in the best interest of society? Banning porn videos with consenting adults that contain spanking in them is unreasonable.

I'm confused by your post. Are you in favor of government regulation or against?

Historically, government regulation is what has been used to create and maintain monopolies and cartels. The regulation is often pitched under the guise as being for the public good, but is then used for quite the opposite. This trick has been played time and time again in American History.

Tariffs, patents, copyrights, and regulatory capture are all mechanisms that corporations use to grant themselves the privilege of monopoly and protect themselves from competition.

Quoting Rothbard in "Left and Right" [1]:

> Orthodox historians have always treated the Progressive period (roughly 1900-1916) as a time when free-market capitalism was becoming increasingly "monopolistic"; in reaction to this reign of monopoly and big business, so the story runs, altruistic intellectuals and far-seeing politicians turned to intervention by the government to reform and regulate these evils. Kolko's great work demonstrates that the reality was almost precisely the opposite of this myth. Despite the wave of mergers and trusts formed around the turn of the century, Kolko reveals, the forces of competition on the free market rapidly vitiated and dissolved these attempts at stabilizing and perpetuating the economic power of big business interests. It was precisely in reaction to their impending defeat at the hands of the competitive storms of the market that business turned, increasingly after the 1900's, to the federal government for aid and protection. In short, the intervention by the federal government was designed, not to curb big business monopoly for the sake of the public weal, but to create monopolies that big business (as well as trade associations smaller business) had not been able to establish amidst the competitive gales of the free market. Both Left and Right have been persistently misled by the notion that intervention by the government is ipso facto leftish and anti-business. Hence the mythology of the New-Fair Deal-as-Red that is endemic on the Right. Both the big businessmen, led by the Morgan interests, and Professor Kolko almost uniquely in the academic world, have realized that monopoly privilege can only be created by the State and not as a result of free market operations.

I think you're presuming too much. As long as your code is documented and you're willing to release all potential IP claims as part of the sale I can imagine there would be someone interested in buying this straight out. You might even be able to sell them some kind of limited support/consultation agreement where you don't do code but can answer questions for a fixed period of time. It's not like you're doing some kind of business exit strategy. You're just selling off an asset from your portfolio.

There's a feedback form here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/webform/tell-us-what-you-think-abo...

It's likely that nobody will ever read my feedback, but if enough people respond then maybe somebody will. In any case, here is my feedback.

Please provide any additional comments about the We the People petitions system:

The technology worked fine, but the response was utterly vacuous and without empathy.

Aaron Schwartz took his own life almost exactly two years ago. He was a leader, a visionary, and a friend to many of the people in our community. Most importantly he was a person trying to live his life.

Aaron was subjected to unjust and vicious prosecution for an act of peaceful civil disobedience. That prosecution lead directly to his death. He received a death sentence for downloading academic journals.

This is not a petition about "openness" and "economic growth". This is not about ensuring that "the Internet remains a free and open platform." Hell, it's not even about firing Steve Heymann for his actions. It's about the way we choose how to prosecute civil disobedience (and the way we choose not to prosecute murder http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Eric_Garner). It's about a justice system that feels increasingly unjust.

Mostly, though, it's about the death of our friend. We'd like an apology for his death, but if you're not willing to do that, at least acknowledge the value of his life. Sympathy is not enough.

> This is dangerous because it's trivial to provide examples where free speech is a bad idea

There already exists a rationalization in almost every Western country's law that there is a distinction between hate speech (that incites violence) and ordinary free speech. This is obviously a highly contentious issue among smaller-gov/progressive types but one that is not super relevant to the Charlie Hebdo issue which you are replying to.

It is semi-relevant if you factor in the UK's enforcement of offensive language on sites like Twitter and compare it to their politicians outraged reactions. But again, not super relevant - since that doesn't happen in the USA or (I believe) France which are involved in Google -> Charlie Hebdo investment.

So your argument is needlessly polemical and I support the downvotes.
I would fix it up.

You get 3 benefits:

1. Continued income from it (people aren't going to continue to buy it if the bad reviews keep coming in).

2. You keep/improve your reputation. If your software isn't working well for any reason at all, it can give a bad reputation to the person/company attached.

3. You increase the chances of a good buy-out in the future, over what it would currently bring now.

We all know it can be difficult to get traction on a project, not to mention paying users. You already have proved this one can get both.
It is in practical terms.

There are too many people on earth right now, it is unsustainable and growing. However in Japan if they have a lot of older people and nobody to do the actual work society needs (e.g. food, utilities, transport, etc) and or to take care of those older people, then you'll run into a problem.

The problem for Japan isn't a decline, it is too fast of a decline. If the decline happened much slower it might be a non-problem.

What is "free speech" if not exactly this?

I agree. Even if you were to make free speech the norm everywhere, that wouldn't make this particular speech any more valuable.

Prior Restrain is totally valid in the US and there are many many circumstances where it can be used. Try breaking a gag order, or tweeting your location while fighting in Iraq.

I think we agree that the killing is not a good outcome. Going back to your initial statement that "hopefully nobody reading this thinks it's entirely reasonable to shoot people for a drawing", my point is that hopefully nobody reading this thinks Islam is compatible with reason.

"Religious practice" is not limited to ritual. Good deeds, helping the elderly, being honest, not stealing, the 10 commandments, sacrificing the goat, killing the cartoonist, etc are all part of religious practice. "Religious reasoning" exists in the Judeo-Christian tradition. The killing in this case is not justified through interpretation, rationalization, or reasoning. It is commanded by the final, uncorrupted word of God.
Reading the spec a little more, during Alt mode negotiation TX1n/TX1p, TX2n/TX2p, RX1n/RX1p, RX2n/RX2p, and SBU1/SBU2 are all available for reconfiguration. That's 4 balanced pairs + 2 wires.

Additionally, if the connection is a direct-connect, like a docking station, then 3 additional pins become available: B5, B6, and B7.

So, a dedicated docking station could have Power + USB 2.0 + 13 pins (4 balanced pairs + 5 extra) or Power + USB 2.0 + USB 3.1 + 9 pins (2 balanced pairs + 5 extra)

Ironically, many gun control advocates still argue against civilian ownership of ammunition that doesn't overpenetrate. In some California cities hollow point ammunition is illegal to buy.

"hate speech (that incites violence) and ordinary free speech." Lol.. exactly. Free Speech (*)

Anyways, I am OK with mostly-free speech. This act is not about our right to have free speech. This act is about our right to make fun of religion in whatever way we want to.

And frankly, there are parts to Muslim religion which I think are just as silly and deserved to be satired as much as possible. I feel the same about parts of Catholicism, Judiasm, etc. etc.

And why should we be able to make fun of these religions? Because they have caused such atrocious conditions for so many for too long. For example, conservative forms of muslim religion has inspired the oppression of women and girls in such horrible ways.

It's very very important to note, that Orthodox Jews are just as bad at oppressing women as well, btw. A fact that is terribly lost on so many westerners.
A massive baby surge right now would actually make the situation worse since you will drastically increase the number of dependents. Increasing young working age immigration might be an option, especially for blue collar jobs that most young Japanese do not want to do. Almost certainly won't happen in xenophobic Japan.
I've upgraded my MB Air to a 1TB SSD from Transcend (JetDrive). I think it works with a mid 2011.
Also, no sane person is going to sign up for doing 100% of the future work for less than 100% of future revenues.

I also have a very marginal side business I want to dispose of (about the same revenue). The best model I could come up with was that I would be willing to sell it for, say, 100% of the next years revenue, 50% of the next two years revenue, etc. That way, the buyer doesn't risk paying too much (since the price is tied to revenue), and the seller is incentivized to do a reasonable handover, take care of teething issues, etc, but the buyer will also try hard to take things over completely for when the seller is no longer around.
Attracting Millenial Engineers

Right and with fewer newborns replacing the retirees (who exit the labor productive market) fewer workers will have to support a larger older pop. That's the biggest issue --who will provide the tax revenue to support retirees, secondarily the economy becomes less vibrant with fewer minds entering the workforce.

But I don't see any type of revenue stream, unless I sell support for the projects.
