Can't we push for an open government without extremes? I'm not sure that we can. On the one side, we have well intentioned individuals who forthrightly believe that secrecy is the only way to protect our freedoms and way of life, an

Julian Assange mentions a young Rupert Murdoch writing in 1958 and suggests that the Murdoch's observation reflected on the latter's father's actions in World War 1 nearly 100 years ago. Within Australia the date is probably understood from

I'm sorry, I fail to see how that resolution would be recognizably altruistic from a modern perspective. Had Abraham Lincoln "saved" the Union without freeing any slaves, there would have been no philanthropic regard for others, it would ha

Why does he have to be in it for altruistic purposes if what he does accomplishes an altruistic outcome?

Well, I guess that's one way of doing it. :( I wrote the code in question, though. It wasn't supposed to be an _advertised_ option, but when I wrote it it was supposed to be a usable one.

You can "choose" insofar as you can email support and they can manually change what data-center your next VM and all subsequent ones will be built in. It really should be exposed through the API, but the people who write the customer-facing

shmeedog wrote a server in eventlet that solves the blocking thin problem.

Amusingly, my involvement came from showing shmeedog how nice his service would look in Sinatra versus WSGI.

Yes, there are a limited number of thin processes running on the server and they block (making them non-blocking is work for another day). The code's on github, if you need a longer delay feel free to fork: http://github.com/rconradharris/

Whoops, the original implementation used microseconds it now uses seconds (with a max of ten).

I believe your grandparent was suggesting that reverse-engineering was hard, therefore patents served a valuable purpose to the commons by providing a limited monopoly in exchange for publication.

The cost of development/testing is the same for customers that pay as it is for those who do not. Additionally, that cost is one you'd use no matter the processor you'd use, so your first point seems a bit disingenuous.

Houses aren't terraformed colonies, and they're definitely not closed cycle. Anything we would set up on Mars (or a Mars-like planet) would necessarily have to be, because the planet lacks a human friendly biosphere and volatiles with which

That doesn't seem to hold up empirically. We have the resources to get from here to a Mars-like planet (namely, Mars), yet we don't have the ability to trivially turn uninhabitable areas of our own planet into earth-like enough places for h
