Great project! I released my own Arduino based microcomputer today and it is interesting that we implemented similar things in a different way (eg, I implemented composite video and not VGA; how different would have been my project if I had gone the other way!).

I discarded early on emulating a complete machine, so I just emulated the 6502 CPU and focused on getting CC65 cross-compiler working with my machine. I'm impressed you managed to emulate the Apple II. Kudos!

Completely agree. When you are completely down is more difficult to keep the wheel moving than when it has some inertia.

Right now I don't give a large amount to charity past Kiva loans (I try to average $25 every month or two) and a handful of causes online (sub $500/yr) on an as-needed basis. I'm trying to be as aggressive as possible paying off my debt (my debt payoff is a little over 30% of what I take home monthly and I plan on using the "snowball method" so that number will not change as I pay off debt to accelerate the payoff) because it doesn't seem smart to give away money when that puts me on the hook for more money (interest). If there is an error in this logic I would greatly appreciate it being pointed out to me.

I'd be interested in increasing my charitable contributions but I'm not sure where would be best to send more money to. I am personally a fan of direct charity instead of going through an organization as I feel it reduces overhead. I like Kiva loans because once I get paid back I just re-loan the money so that slowly I am increasing the amount I loan monthly while keeping my monthly contribution the exact same (or slowly increasing it, I want to get to $50/mo within a few months). I also like Kiva because I know exactly how much is going to Kiva vs the person asking for money (something that is hidden or hard to find out for most charities IMHO).

My approach is not based on anything specific it's more of just what has happened naturally since I started working full time.
I agree with that correction, but it feels like a matter of severity over one of form. Keeping yourself open to the distraction of outside ideas helps you to have the "pulse" of the industry, of course. The question is a matter of balacing risks, expenditure, and capacity building: do you have quality enough signal in your networks to be able to reliably gain from participating in them?
I'm not entirely convinced that the minor benefits from increasing resolution so much offset the cost in terms of battery life, especially on devices where screens are already the most power-hungry parts.
Thank you for the detailed feedback.

First off, because it isn't. There are a number of things that personally shouldn't be styled. Or rather, there are a number of things that should have their styles overridable without breaking things.

There are an astounding number of things I've seen abused, badly. I mean - look at the number of websites that aren't usable without a web font because they embedded all of their icons in it. Bonus points if they load the web font via JS. Bonus points if it's third-party JS.

Secondly, you cannot style every other UI component except this one. The browser chrome. The mouse pointer. The context menu (to an extent, depending on browser).

The thing with scrollbars is that they are at the boundary between the website and the browser. There are pros and cons - allowing "good" websites to apply "good" styles, but not for inane UIs.

Personally, I think that the better approach would be for the browser to color the scrollbar dependent on the background color of the page.
If you think one of those is the most efficient way to avert suffering then sure, why not?
1. It was not free game. They could not take copies preemptively.

2. There is vastly more metadata being stored now, and the police don't need access to most of it. We might even be better off with laws against storing it.
I'm not entirely certain those are valuable goals, though.

'3rd parties' who spend any amount of time here are perfectly aware of that a pro government, anti-Snowden point of view won't be popular. I doubt they would turn tail if someone suspected their presence.

And arguably, false positives and arguments about whether or not someone is a shill work in favor of actual shills. Notice how nobody ever seems to accuse the people making those accusations of having ulterior motives, despite the fact that a false flag strategy of deflecting attention to innocent accounts and derailing threads would be a much smarter strategy on their part than sockpuppet accounts making obviously noticeable propagandic statements.
Professor uses online data to predict future fashion trends
A lot of the discussion in this thread talks about "the government" like it's some vast, coordinated entity. It really, really isn't. I wouldn't be surprised if the people who put a tarp over that Snowden bust didn't even know who Snowden was, they just knew someone snuck into their park overnight and put this thing there.
No, it's the universal sign for "this is the thing that needs to be removed". Unfortunately they don't have cones which read "unauthorized object subject to removal immediately" which would get the point across while preserving people's ability to see it until it was removed or properly evaluated. That would make the whole issue of removal look even more Orwellian though, would it not?

The reason why I brought up the potential danger of the statue is not because I or anyone expects it to be dangerous. (For a relevant incident though, remember the Boston Aqua Teen Hunger Force stuff... that got a terrible reaction, even though anyone who has ever played with electronics could tell that they were harmless. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Boston_bomb_scare ) I bring it up because it is both department policy and perfectly valid from the perspective of anyone who works to ensure safety in parks. If some circumstance, however crazy, causes someone to become injured by the installation then it's going to be a much bigger headache to Parks and Rec than a bunch of us calling them fascists/communists/whatever else is going on in here.

Edit: In case I wasn't clear, the point of my analogy is that... as far as you know it's just an image on the boot screen. As far as you know, it's just a sculpture that's properly installed and isn't going to just roll off as soon as some kids try to climb it (park employees try to stop this too, but it's still common esp. at this park). If it was an official installation, presumably Parks and Rec would have enough confidence in the work itself to say "this is fine" and then take responsibility for it in the future. Perhaps a better analogy would've been if someone pulled a similar stunt on NYPL's public computers or something, shrug. (I have no righteous love for my own analogy here, I just thought it would make the issue a little more clear. I seem to have been wrong about that.)

If you think that Snowden is a hero, start a petition to put up a statue of him in Fort Greene Park. The Prison Ship Martyrs Monument wasn't just put there by some guy on a whim. It was a decision made by government at all levels as the result of a process that is public and open to all citizens.

Is Snowden a hero? Maybe, I dunno. Ask your fellow citizens if they want to put a statue of him in the park. That's how democracy is supposed to work. It isn't perfect, in fact it's the worst form of a government. Except for all the others.
I don't know about where you are, but your state's (failure of a) business model is not my concern.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to down vote you. Since personal opinions that people don't agree with seem to be down voted, I'm going to jump on the bandwagon.
33% is way more than most people donate, so congratulations!

I would nitpick that the maximum amount you can deduct is set by the government, and thus somewhat arbitrary, and certainly not Morally Objective. However, it is objective to you, the individual, and thus makes a very good Schelling point, and you are finding it helpful, so excellent, good for you.

I also largely agree with your statement regarding taxes, and have nothing to add to it at this time.

That iphome paper used a random git checkout from the day the bitstream was frozen, and claimed it was an official release, which always struck me as somwhere on the stupid/devious spectrum.

The first actual VP9 release was about 6 months later and even then I dont think they'd done much tuning for speed. Some parts of Google get criticised for building open source products privately, but others that develop in the open have their openness abused.
Not sure it's that simple. It's a given that everyone wants to be reasonable of course, but 1984 was framed precisely as a kind of political horror story. Should we really react in terms of compromise and middle ground if somebody proposes that we live in such a horror story?

My view is that this kind of thing is a part of what intelligence services are supposed to prevent, not implement, and they are therefore seriously failing to do their taxpayer-funded jobs. Not really sure of the point of employing smart people to protect you if they then use all of their wiles to weaken individual and state security.
We're about 1 year into a experiment to do just this. A year ago we founded Ad Hoc LLC, after working on HealthCare.gov; our idea was to bring the very best in private-sector engineering to government projects. Based on what we've learned over the past year, I do think creating a top-notch engineering organization is incredibly important. But, the problem of getting work is not to be ignored.

The procurement process is absolutely the biggest problem we face. The idea that the government puts bids out to an open market and therefore gets the best quality and price is a fable. Most contracts go out to a pre-selected group of companies, are are shaped to fit into the models these companies provide. There are some positive changes happening both at individual agencies and at the broader federal level as to procurement reform that look positive, but by and large this is still the biggest obstacle to getting in the game. Subcontracting is a better option to start.

We absolutely need more companies in this space, both in the product and services arena. The more companies, the more agencies will feel comfortable adopting contracting practices that are geared towards these companies rather than classic contractors.

> Its a value redistribution by diluting all the existing holders of bitcoin. Bitcoins may be created out of thin air, but the value that makes them a reward is not.

What's your point? I said so in my post. Maybe I'm missing something. We're both saying the same thing, which means that this value dilution is not actually a transaction cost. It happens regardless of whether any transactions are made. And it's similar to the dollar, in that daily/yearly new money supply dilutes the value of all dollars. Bitcoin isn't unique. It's only unique in that this new money supply eventually ends, while the dollar and any other currency keeps diluting forever.

> Which means that to continue to give miners an incentive to validate transactions, actual transaction fees will have to pick up the slack of providing value as the block rewards decline.

Agreed. And that can easily happen. Bitcoin is very tiny, it's maybe used on average like once a month by 1 million people. It can easily scale 100x in use case, meaning 10 million people use it every few days. It'd still be tiny. But if that'd happen, the price would likely be at least 10x higher. At that point you could literally cut out all block rewards, the transaction fees (in the pennies) would already be enough to pay for the miners. And seeing bitcoin, a global currency, scale to 10m users in the next few decades as mining rewards taper off, is a very very tiny expectation. If it can't even do that, then who cares if the economics work out, nobody wants to use it anyway. But if it scales because people want to use it, to 10m people or 100m people or even to the order of the billions of users that people like Marc Andreessen think it could be used by one day, then block rewards are completely unnecessary, and you can pay miners a shit ton of money on transactions that cost pennies.

And again, if it doesn't scale because nobody wants to use it, then who cares if block rewards go to 0 and suddenly transaction fees have to be $20 per transaction... It's like saying 'if by 2015 typewriters won't be used by millions of people, they will become super expensive'. It's completely irrelevant. Nobody cares. And if it does scale, you can keep transaction fees cheap and pay miners with larger volumes of transactions.
do you have a field type that indexes in real time? or are you bound to the (default 1s) index delay from es?

this is one thing that bothers me with elasticsearch, that I can not define eg "type": "cart","index":"realtime", "not-analyzed" so if an item gets added to a cart, the subsequent count would directly return the correct number of items in the cart.
I was going to reply with a bunch of stuff about how Tor exit nodes don't terminate TLS, but I thought more about what you are saying. You're right, it's not a good idea at all to be logged into any account that de-anonymizes you in any way while using Tor, because then for the rest of that Tor session, you are potentially compromised.

Your anonymous presence and your public presence should always be 100% separate.

> Compared to a world where you can't get IPs at any price? Seems pretty obvious: you can get IPs.

You seem to be presenting a false dichotomy; there are plenty of intermediate solutions between the current state of affairs and a laissez-faire market. At the very least, if we're going to set a price on IPv4 addresses, I think it should be set by the RIRs - not by the companies to whom they were allocated. (Remember that RIRs have the right to reclaim addresses that are not being used.)

In other words: my concern is not that IPv4 addresses end up having a price tag on them; that seems inevitable at this point. My concern is that big players might be able to dictate the prices and effectively buy the small ones out of the Internet.
I think it's similar to the reasoning for "We aren't going to trigger the Yellowstone Supervolcano with the Tesla Model 3" and "We aren't going to trigger the Yellowstone Supervolcano with new vegan egg replacements" — we just don't have any good reason to believe it will happen.

> It was a decision made government at all levels as the result of a process that is public and open to all citizens.

My family member went through this process to set up a memorial statue and it was a nightmare of bureaucracy. And this was in a tiny relatively unpopular park in a small town - not a big city.

It took about 3 years to finally happen (by that I mean approved to happen, its still not completed yet) after jumping through countless hoops and making friends with the right politicians, who then had to back the idea in order to get support by the town council.

The big reason it ended up happening was the person who she became friends with ended up becoming mayor of the town.

Yay democracy.

But perhaps a better type system can still be helpful. E.g. F# supports units of measure, so you can declare 'dollar' as a unit, and write

let calc_total (meal_cost : float<dollar>) (tax : float) (tip : float) =
meal_cost * (1.0+tax) * (1.0+tip)

This way it is at least clear from the types that the numbers are meant to be multiplied, not added.
"She said that sexism in high-tech industries often reflects a “death by a thousand cuts” and that those cuts are hard to prove in a court of law. “In a lot of these venture firms that are run by men, there’s kind of a tribe that forms. It’s often hard for women to become part of that tribe and often times they [the men] don’t even know they’re doing it.”"

How are we supposed to get rid of discrimination and generalization in the work-place, when articles like this completely generalize all tech companies and men??

Frankly, it strikes me as very odd that a company that is manufacturing a product that is supposed to help maintain your anonymity and increase your security online fails to safeguard the end-user through basic security recommendations that have been around for YEARS. Would these "holes" be plugged up as a matter of course? Something doesn't add up..... Thanks for your thorough analysis, though.
