Yes, she is smart, and witty, with a self-deprecating sense of humor, and I still deleted my Dropbox account today.

Two years later, they might want to reconsider the .is TLD. It's about $50/year and open to international folks, however they do have some unique NS requirements[1].

I use a subdomain and forward *@subdomain.domain.com -- if you put a catchall on the root you will get spam.

I look more at the Ukrainian situation, or maybe Libya or Syria, when I think about defying an out of control government.

Waco could have easily happened 150 years prior and had a similar outcome; fundamentally a small group cannot resist the power of the state in a head-to-head confrontation. It's only a popular uprising that can put real pressure on the power of the state. If a group of people in one place resort to violence, the state can crush them, but as with terrorism, you cannot wage war against an idea, unless the idea is held only by completely powerless people.

Sadly, I find it hard to believe that passengers wouldn't have tried to use cellphones, and I'm inclined to think that the cabin became depressurized before the last report of contact (a ping off of an inmarsat sattelite) which is reported as 7.5 hours after takeoff.

This was an interesting writeup, but I can't help but think that removing Flappy Bird at the height of popularity was anything less than the shrewdest of PR moves. He continues to get all the ad dollars from existing installs, and has achieved legendary status, assuring that any new games he may release get a lot of coverage and positioning him at the top of the heap. It's really genius!

You can block the user agent, I believe "Feedfetcher-google" should work.

You should read up on DMCA Safe Harbor. It's a very important concept that you should understand.

To answer your question, no.

We use the BJC 16 footers at work for 1080p monitors that are mounted in the ceiling and generally the player is in a closet far away. It was just a cable that was handy.

I read that people having an identical issue had better results with shorter cables. I don't know any of the details but the shorter cable had a huge effect.

That was a good explanation, except for the fact that I think you're referring to eg 220, 222, and 224 as the Satoshi/DOGE exchange rate, and by pushing the price downwards, you'll actually get more Satoshi for each DOGE.

Pushing the price "down" to 224 from 220 is very confusing and caused me to have to read your post several times to make sure I understood correctly.

I've had this issue and fixed it with a shorter HDMI cable, that also happened to be higher quality than the OEM cable (I also tried a 16' Blue Jeans cable, didn't work). I'm running 4k@30Hz and while I get the occasional black-out on my monitor, it's now a weekly thing instead of hourly or worse.

I'm successfully running a 50" Seiki 4k monitor off of the HDMI port on my motherboard. Only 30Hz with HDMI, but I also have DisplayPort, I might be able to upgrade to a 60Hz monitor without having to get a dedicated graphics card.

The fact that NY laws regarding marijuana would directly conflict with Federal law is significant. As more states defy the Federal prohibition of marijuana, it creates more tension between the states and the USGOV. Eventually with enough tension of this kind, Congress will have enough political cover to actually do something.

Meanwhile, people are using the US Postal Service to mail drugs across the country since forever.

Because it's one or the other. Very nuanced.

You can fix an SKS with a 30 round magazine, which is reloaded via 10 round stripper clips (don't do it though, they're unreliable).

In the case of the M1 and the SKS, the magazine, eg the device that holds the ammunition inside the gun, is the restricted item. The only difference is the magazine is not removed in the field, like with most other guns where that's how you reload.

Thank you for educating me with that extremely relevant quote!

Because there is a purpose to killing, but the only purpose for torture in this case is the maximization of profit.

I've read that people are having this issue with this monitor with all kinds of different playback hardware, including a Blu-Ray player that upconverts to 4k.

It could be a component that is used by other 4k monitors, but it really seems specific to this Seiki (in varying sizes), as they have released a firmware update that is supposed to help.

That was my first thought as well. I tried a $100 Blue Jeans HDMI cable we had here at the office but there was no change.

It's interesting to me that the blanking events are grouped together and mostly in the beginning. My best guess is that the monitor adjusts some timings and eventually gets it right, and whenever it's turned off it has to figure out the timings all over again. But I don't really know what I'm talking about...

You can squeeze a few thousand retired civil servants, but you can't squeeze all of America. The only solution to an impending Social Security crisis is "monetary easing".

I own the 50" Seiki and I use it as a desktop monitor. I need to modify my desk so I can move it further back but I'm getting used to the size.

The lag due to 30hZ is a big drawback, my mousing accuracy is noticeably lower, but I can live with that.

What I cannot live with is the fact that the monitor goes blank and then re-detects the HDMI signal all the time -- perhaps 25 times in the first few minutes and then once every 5-15 minutes afterwards. I'm using the HDMI port on my Intel Haswell board and have updated drivers and the Seiki firmware, and still get this issue. Seiki support is bad, and lots of people have this issue. They specifically released a firmware update that is supposed to resolve this but it doesn't help me. Perhaps another brand of graphics card would help but currently it's broken.

Quantum-safe in the same respect that an md5sum of an ISO cannot reveal the contents of the ISO.

boblightd provides this for Linux, lots of people roll their own versions of this for their XBMC/OpenELEC setups.

I'll jump on the respect train. Michael Arrington is an ideal person to influence people here. We all may have similar convictions, but he isn't just influencing software development, he's influencing software that is at a seminal stage, making it more likely that version 1 of the next Facebook clone will take security into account.

If PG and a few others joined with him, there would be momentum, just like that.

$20 is the unsubsidized 20-year-amortized cost of building the thing, there would be additional costs to run it, not the least of which being insurance.

If you're buying a secure email service, the compromise of that security would be a bigger screw-job. Lavabit must have shut down in the interest of its customers, otherwise why would they have shut down?

Here's my speculation, to be buried 450 comments deep:

The government said, "you must update your software to compromise your encryption, and deliver us this information we have a warrant for." Lavabit said, "well, no, that defeats the purpose of our business". The gov't said "we don't care, we have a valid warrant" and now Lavabit is out of business.

If I'm right, nobody's files were compromised because Lavabit refused, but I imagine that doesn't bode well for returning user data because there could be huge legal consequences if one of the confirmed users is strongly suspected of XYZ.

If I'm right, it shouldn't prevent the owner from starting a new secure email service outside of the US. I suggest Iceland.

It's unlikely that the end of prohibition would have a large impact on agriculture; growing weed usually requires an indoor or greenhouse environment to prevent pollination, it doesn't really lend itself to large-scale production, and the amount that people smoke is minuscule compared to tobacco/cigarettes. Of course, tobacco companies could roll out some industrial processing machines and drive the price of production down near to zero, but as long as the government uses taxes to keep the price high, people will demand the kind of quality that requires more of a greenhouse type of a solution.
