Aha! Jump into #freebsd on IRC (on efnet, don't ask) and poke me (adri) and/or ask for help.

If it's the same SoC in a different box, then it isn't too hard:

* Attach serial console, boot to uboot. If you're using a d-link then you likely can't without some hardware hacking (and even then they sometimes disable serial RX in u-boot. Grr.) If you're using tp-link then you mash 'tpl' at the console whilst uboot is counting down from 1 second -> 0 seconds to drop into the prompt.
* Chances are an existing kernel will boot - you can test using tftpboot and go. So, build an existing image, grab kernel.BLAH from ../tftpboot/, put it somewhere tftp'able, and:

uboot> setenv ipaddr ip-for-AP
uboot> setenv serverip ip-of-server
uboot> tftpboot 0x80050000 kernel.BLAH
uboot> go 0x80050100

Some uboots don't have 'go', only 'bootm'. In that case you can grab the kernel.BLAH.lzma.uboot file - it's a compressed u-boot application. You have to ensure you load it /above/ where FreeBSD boots from, as uboot will decompress it for you into the right spot (here it's loaded into 0x80050000.) I typically put it 16MB above (and thus assume you have at least 32MB RAM):

uboot> tftpboot 0x81050000 kernel.BLAH.lzma.uboot
uboot> bootm 0x81050000

It should decompress the kernel and start running. If it's the same SoC, then it should boot.

There are a few things you'll need for the board, which typically you lift from the openwrt board config files :) :

* The ethernet setup (what mode each port is in, PLL setups, etc)
* the ethernet switch setup (which switch, internal/external, whether ports are hooked up pass-through or to the switch itself, the port config, LED config, etc.)
* The atheros onboard wifi and where in flash the calibration data is.
* The MAC addresses - where in flash are they.
* if there's PCI/PCIe devices, where that is and where in flash the calibration data is
* What the GPIO setup looks like.
* If there's any custom required GPIO hacks - like say, "wifi RX LNA on gpio X", "enable the serial UART GPIOs explicitly", etc.

That part will take a little more to describe. Maybe I should also write a blog post/wiki article about it. But if you get it to the point of tftpboot'ing on a new piece of hardware then I'll absolutely help you with the rest on IRC and we can write it up.

If it's a different SoC - that's a different article. I have support up to the QCA955x - I think I have two or three more newer SoCs and ethernet switches to write support for, and some more wifi support to port from their reference driver. If you really want to do /this/ part then I'll write that up separately. :)
Could someone explain why I would want to sign an "agreement not to sue" contract while being fired? It seems like I would need to take some time to evaluate the situation externally, rather than just agreeing immediately. Asking me to sign that while in the process of being fired is making an awkward situation even more awkward. Perhaps I'm not looking at this correctly?
This is a slippery slope argument, and in this case it doesn't make any sense. We can't know every trigger, but it'd be pretty surprising if a description of rape wasn't one.

Your argument has the same flaws as the argument that we should give up on trying to understand the programs we write because "Rice's theorem".
Quite the opposite, free speech and privacy demand each other and cannot exist without each other.

Consider these two scenarios, taken to the extreme to elaborate a point.

Unfettered free speech, with zero privacy.

Total privacy, no free speech.

Both examples are impossible in a human society (maybe in a robot society).

In scenario one, there can be no free speech if you have no right to privacy. The concept of chilling comes into action. If humans were robots, one might say that zero privacy would encourage and illuminate perfect speech because there would be greater total information and understanding. However that is not how people function. When faced with zero privacy, people will always self-censor, often dramatically. We can see this in practice time and time again, in numerous countries throughout just the last century.

In scenario two, if you have a government enforcing zero free speech, there's no chance they're going to simultaneously grant their people complete privacy (they can't, they have to constantly monitor speech).

The point of these examples, is to show that one can't exist without the other, not in actuality. As one erodes, the other will go with it.

A government willing to use extreme violence (which is what it would take) to stop all privacy, is not going to give you free speech. No such contradiction can exist for long. Any government willing to use violence to stop your freedom of speech, is not going to respect your privacy because they'll need to monitor you constantly to check against your speech (not to mention a violent government in reality simply isn't going to respect individual rights anyway).
Perhaps.

It's likely that humanity would survive the kind of event that lead to the extinction of the dinosaurs.

We have underground facilities and stores of food/water that would permit the species to survive an event that lead to the sun being blocked out for 5 years or so.
Thanks! (Ecaron's parent comment to an older HN thread also had some comments that named a few)

`dodgerblue` and `aliceblue` are pretty damning...I don't see much reason rebeccapurple shouldn't be added at that point. I guess there's the argument of not personalizing the content more than it already is.
I see an "aliceblue". No idea if there is a history behind it.

I agree, but imagine if instead of getting this speech during the interview, you got it the first day on the job.

I suppose in that case I'd still have the option of calling my old employer and asking for my job back, or maybe an employer I'd turned down to ask if the job is still available.
Dr Oye wants us to seriously entertain the idea that if we simply regulate drug production then we would be safe from drug cartels? Regulation is not a magic cure for basic human behavior. If people want drugs, they will get them, and there will be others to make it. Any time you make a law restricting the production of drugs, you are simply removing competition for those that don't follow the law. Drug cartels would be stopped in their tracks if the US ended the war on drugs.

I also find it curious that he comments on big pharma already having access to abundant supplies of opium, but it would be disaster if local producers could produce morphine or heroine. God forbid anyone else undercuts them with a cheaper-to-produce product.

Any talk of how to better fight the drug war is just rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic. Drug use is a medical and social issue, not a criminal one. The attitude of drugs as a criminal issue is also one of the reasons the US has the highest incarceration rate in the world. I am frankly tired of being fed the notion that the existence of drugs is a constant danger to society, and the only way out is to fight a never-ending war.

If this is still a problem then yeah, join #freebsd on efnet and ask for some help. :)
I thinks everybody in the comments are forgetting one qute from the article:

>> I am sorry about the student who couldn’t abide the mention of sexual assault, but she should be getting help for her triggering from a therapist, not from a professor.

Shouldn't the students with a trauma be going through therapy to overcome that trauma? I don't mean shoving depictions of rape onto them, unanounced, but "trigger warnings" are just ways to go around the real problem: That person hasn't overcome his trauma, and he is struggling with it in it's daily life.

I honestly think you've got blinders on if you believe that. The right track/wrong track polls and congressional approval ratings are usually a good indicator of that - even Obama's meteoric rise couldn't put a dent in the way that people still feel like the US Government is a wholly owned subsidiary of corporate america.

Oh, I would say Taylor Swift is the more intelligent writer and its right, but I'm not sure a simple vocabulary test and a large sample set is really the way to go.

Your criticisms:

1. William McNeilly is an inexperienced trainee,

2. William McNeilly is not preceded by other whistleblowers from the same field,

3. William McNeilly is a whistleblower who intended to blow the whistle,

4. William McNeilly does not have good writing skills,

5. William McNeilly cannot prove that the world will end.

You need to carefully investigate your own motivations behind these criticisms.

According to this logic, the only legitimate whistleblowers are those who have been in their industry for 15+ years, have the writing skills of a well-versed journalist, and have blown the whistle after a series of other whistleblowers (with the above qualifications, of course) from the same industry.

This is piss poor (or convenient, your choice) criteria to dismiss whistleblower revelations. It is however an excellent way of reframing the issue by focusing on the whistleblower rather than the issue itself, effectively avoiding the debate on the revelations and their implications.

My advice is that you watch Citizenfour, in which a lengthy scene describes whistleblowers' and journalists' valid anxieties and experience with shills, commentators, and the public, all of whom are more interested, for a multiplicity of reasons, in delegitimizing a whistleblower's persona rather than the content of the leaks s/he provided.

A couple of months ago I tested with Transmission (on a Mac) and it worked fine. The problem from my point of view was that the S3 side only seeded at 50-100 KB/sec, but if I downloaded directly from S3 I could pull 2MB/sec.

Unless you have a bunch of seeds, that are essentially permanent, it's pretty useless.
> Like Netflix? They seem to be doing alright.

Could you elaborate a little?

Netflix doesn't rely on a single provider for hardware, data centers, nor bandwidth. Sure they use EC2 for some things, but also have a great deal of hardware in data centers throughout the country, as well as custom hardware in ISP data centers, etc. I'd be shocked if there didn't use some of the other cloud provider offering too.

Netflix has no single point of failure.

Building your business around a single cloud provider creates a single point of failure.
> No, that's punishing the speech itself - NOT addressing the consequences thereof.

You do realize that the kind of speech that needs to be protected is not the kind with negative consequences for innocent bystanders, don't you? It's not like I'm defending yelling "fire!" in a movie theater.

The poster whom I responded to didn't seem aware of these distinctions, which is why I snarked at him.

> Do I really have to explain the concept?

No, you don't.

> Apparently some people can't discern the difference between punishment of speech and punishment for consequences of speech. Obviously such people need be kept out of legislative office.

But I guess it's alright to have liars, crooks and wannabe-tyrants in there?

It's got nothing to do with disagreeing with me. People who thought that they were voting for/against proportional representation were just plain wrong. That's just plain not what the referendum was for.

Are you saying that these people were not misinformed? That somehow, even though the referendum was not about PR, and they thought it was about PR, they were still right? Is this some kind of "prizes for all, everyone's correct in their own way" situation?
I'd definitely be interested to learn the story behind `peru` since it doesn't seem to be related to the most obvious choice (the flag(s))
I read a book on this that describes the money/politics problem as two categories:

A Guardian Syndrome, and a Commerce Syndrome. Both syndromes are efficient and well when independent, but it's when the categories begin to merge that you begin to get problems and conflict of interest.

I recommend people to check out the book. It's a great analysis of the nature of corruption from a very cultural, anthropological and economic perspective. It's a refreshing angle from the typical character assassinations you see in the news. It's called Systems of Survival by Jane Jacobs.

Whatever this means, it sounds like "The grass was always greener in the pastures of my memory" or some such, which is true but not relevant to, you know, actual history.

That, and it seems axiomatic among the PC crowd that Kids These Days are getting dumber and dumber, which has held true so long that it's amazing that our great-grandparents qualified as sentient beings, as opposed to, say, slime mold.

The only entity that can sue you for infringement is the patent holder. So you could send them an email and ask them whether they would sue if you sold your home.

"Commercial use" in the US typically means designing and operating a business around the idea. It would be up to a judge to decide. Here is a law cite:

Having Asperger myself and having watched alot of parents I'd like to share a thought.

To me the biggest problem seems to be connecting to the outside world. I've also observed children having trouble with this, as it seems they weren't able to filter relevant stimuli to react on: "Do they speak to me? I don't know.. So I'll continue to wait."

This is a pattern I'm using as well.

However, things I do understand are people reaching out to me very directly with very clear emotions.

Difficult and wrong as it may be, I'd suggest including your daughter directly in conversation as often as possible. She may not understand words, but quite possibly she does understand emotion.

This may at least ease the disconnection she's already observing.

Brief History of the ASF Board Agenda Tool
HBO has a documentary on the so called called Cannibal Cop, who was convicted for conspiracy, a so called "thought crime". He never really acted out on the underlying criminal act in question, and it's difficult to say if he conclusively took a substantial step in furtherance of the crime with someone else. Though, much of the evidence that did stack instead him included chats and search queries from Google.

I always thought that the crime of conspiracy was ahead of its time, but I really don't know how it fits in today's context where everything can be tracked. Not that conspiracy shouldn't exist, but that the world has finally caught up to the law.

> Safe from what?

From unintentionally re-living a traumatic experience (a rape). PTSD is real and often effects rape victims. Warnings can help victims mentally prepare themselves before difficult discussions. E.g. some soldiers with PTSD can sometimes uncomfortably sit through fireworks displays, but will have a panic attack if a firework goes of unexpectedly.

> ...would turn into a rape gang. I can't, for the life of me, imagine a scenario where the student would rationally feel unsafe in the classroom.

Asking why someone with PTSD can't just not feel unsafe is like asking why someone with autism can't just act normal.
I don't think unique-words/total-words can be used directly as a metric for intelligence of lyrics. In any body of text, I'd expect that ratio to go down as total-words increases. For some extreme example, if there is one total word, then the ratio is 1.0. If there are infinitely many words, then the ratio is 0.0. That doesn't really say anything about how intelligent they are. Without knowing anything specifically about it, I'd expect unique words to roughly scale logarithmically with total words for a constant "intelligence", whatever that means.
An introduction to Clear Containers
To build on a similar comment to this effect, I have four Apple-built PowerPC machines. In order of acquisition:

* 1 eMac (G4 processor, Radeon graphics): $40-worth of labor
* 1 PowerBook G4: $80-worth of labor
* 1 Power Mac G5 (single processor): free (was being thrown out)
* 1 XServe G5 (dual processor): free (was being thrown out)

Meanwhile, you can buy quite a bit of Apple's PowerPC hardware in working condition for anywhere between $25 and $200+ on eBay. Many of them will come with either OS X Tiger or a botched OS X Leopard (which I've found to be notoriously unusable on most PowerPC Macs). I personally run OpenBSD on my own such machines (I'd dabbled with GNU/Linux previously, but there were significant stability issues, particularly with hardware support; while OpenBSD's hardware support isn't that much better, at least it's more-or-less consistent across targets, so when graphics enhancements arrive on one platform (for example), they'll typically hit my PowerPC boxen, too (which is precisely what happened with 5.5 when OpenBSD adopted a DRI implementation)).
Nice to see this announced; true hardware virtual machines with sufficiently good performance to compete with containers.

Starting out by teaching them to recognize indoctrination would be a good step, then. That's a fairly core part of critical thinking anyway, recognizing bias in the speaker.
By that logic, no-where as freedom of speech, and it's highly unlikely that anywhere every will, since it will require abolishing many laws that many people desire (like medical privacy or copyright).

> If someone is considering a cause opposed by government, then surveillance will not stop most of them, but spur them on and prove to them that they can not trust their own government.

You can both believe in your cause, and distrust your government, but while being scared shitless of speaking out. So, I wouldn't say that surveillance works against governments.

There's a certain point before which awareness of mass-surveillance may cause negative sentiment towards the government, especially without being managed effectively with propaganda, but after another point.. you're in North-Korea.
