Nothing new in this, he's held this opinion for quite some time:

Yep.

After the peak of $1100 and being pretty happy last week, and the subsequent decline, I sold my stash at $800 last week, no regrets.... yet.

Probably a great time to buy.

The protocol is an open standard, similar to HTTP. There's no license to speak of. There's many implementations of the standard, and those can have any license the developer wants, including making changes which break other clients.

This. I was defrauded to the tune of $3,500 (run of the mill stolen Paypal account bought a top of the line iMac from me on eBay) and after discovering to my horror that both eBay and Paypal sidestep all fraud for protection... I called the FBI, police, etc.

They listened politely until I said how much it was worth -- one of my favorite quotes was "If you added a zero to the end, we'd knock down their door at 6AM tomorrow. For $3,500 it's simply not worth our time."

Some context is appreciated... signup page is pretty sparse on the details. Sounds like they'll charge for API access and margin trading.

Mac Plus has a CPU limited line speed of ~19 kilobits/sec? That's pretty amazing.

My first was a Kaypro II with 64kb of RAM, 191kB floppy drive, and a 2.5MHz Z80. I just looked up some videos of them running and the memories came flooding back. Good times.

Just imagine what computing power we'll have in another couple of decades and how silly what we have right now will seem.

Jesse: what is your ideal retail price on these, if you had a good number of preorders?

Surprised nobody has mentioned Ludum Dare [0]. It's a competition to make an entire game from scratch in 48 to 72 hours, when all is done, it's judged by your peers -- everyone who made a submission. A good example of what can be done in 72 hours is "Leaf Me Alone" [1].

Damn... After I think I've got all the knobs set "just right", I'll always reboot just to see what happens.

This usually catches various common problems not quite as serious as this one... daemon doesn't start, kernel panics, more updates required after boot, etc.

The last time I had something like this happen, needing to restore from a weekly backup, Google or Archive.org had already cached everything new and I was able to recover it all without much hassle.

Same here... I had to look up what RJ47 was. Probably just a typo.

They like using the service Google provides and they really want to continue paying for it. Not everyone gets their rocks off serving a popular website and tuning the dozens of arcane knobs to make it hum as well as Google can.

They probably don't want to pay $$$$ for someone else to move it and/or host it. Migrating years of posts and all the comments... that's a decent sized job. Even if the export/import to some other blogging engine was nearly perfect (Hint: it's not all roses and perfume), there's a dozen or more billable hours involved to make it run exactly the way it did before on another host. That's probably more than he spends in a year at the current location.

...and so on. There are plenty of good reasons not to move it.

This Asus router scores a 95/100 from me. I ran a pfSense machine and separate AP for several years and bought this when the machine died. The RT-AC66U has been almost as solid and capable as the dedicated pfSense setup, without the extra power usage that comes with running an x86.

Back of napkin math: spend $29 to mine $50 worth of LTC.

Did you read the article?

>23andMe’s tests, designed to tell people if they're at risk for certain health conditions, could lead to an increase in care--necessary or not--which insurers could end up covering

Using git-annex would probably fix a lot of these problems.

On the other hand, Perforce is the game industry standard. As much as engineers complain how terrible P4 is in comparison to distributed options, the other teams working on the title (artists, designers, QA/Test) save a huge amount of time by simply not fucking things up for everyone else.

When there's 250 people working on a title, producers will call to lock the entire depot down so that Intern Joe Blow from Test/QA can't check in a broken build and waste the time of everyone who is working on the project.

I've administered depots (along with overseas proxies) with a 1TB head revision. It was amazingly fast despite how huge the data set was. The only exception was syncing a new workspace, which is easy enough to work around with weekly snapshots and rsync.

With a vimscript [0], ctrl-a can increment dates, times, roman numerals, ordinals, etc. Pretty damn handy along with ctrl-x to decrement.

If you're investigating a botnet (how it spreads, CnC operations), this would be a nice tool to have.

Executive carpet bomb will fix you right up. Promise.

The default is to leak information. There's no opt-out in the installer.

Not directed at you, but why do camera makers continue to reinvent RAW formats for new models? Isn't this a 'solved' problem with Adobe's DNG being royalty free and all?

When I got a D800 around launch time, even Lightroom didn't have the capability to import them directly at launch and I had to convert them to DNGs first. What a bloddy mess.

Some would argue that it's too patriotic.

This is practically a modern day Milgram experiment, but substitute fake electric shocks with real anal penetration. Pretty shocking.

If you have to ask, it's probably rape.

Lots <10 miles from downtown Detroit are in the $1k range.

>[...]put things like "your share of the cashout," "for atm skimming," and "for the cocaine," into the memo field (where you'd put "Rent" on a check)

The memo field is not terribly relevant. I've jokingly written things very similar to these examples on real bank checks and never had a problem with someone else cashing or depositing them.

Sounds like a vari-ant of Zeno's Dichotomy Paradox.[0]

I got a refund from BFL well outside the 60 day window by using the 'nuclear option': the PayPal executive escalations team. It's been months and they still haven't gotten close to shipping orders around the time I put mine in.

I'm kinda sad that I won't be mining glorious coins. I guess it's a bullet narrowly missed.

Naive? This is a proof of concept, and it makes people feel cooler. Dehumidifiers use significantly less power than cooling. The peltier they're using with a 30% duty cycle would require about 30W per person.
