Even if they're getting it encrypted, they can still learn a lot from correlations of addresses and times and such.

I can't wait for the social media IPO coke binge hangover to wear off and the Valley to rediscover its roots as a hotbed of real innovation, real intellectual daring, and the courage to dream big and then do it. Bigger and better thing

There's also something fairly basic you can use to mitigate this: mix rdrand's output with some amount of entropy from other sources. Even if it were done just a little to minimize performance impact, this would greatly increase t

Love it! The more experienced I become as a programmer, the more respect I have for minimal programs that work very well. It's often very hard to "work your way up to simplicity," as my father likes to call it. (He's an

As I heard it explained once: correlation does not imply causation, but it does jump up and down and point and gesticulate wildly in its general direction.

I agree. HTTP with chunking is already way beyond the human-emulatable-via-telnet threshold.

Maybe we can dump our empire on China. Bonus: they'll think it's a good thing.

The U.S. has a very long history of foreign policy hypocrisy, especially since WWII. One of the reasons the British finally divested themselves of their empire is that it was bankrupting them and destroying their civil society. The empire e

That's another thing. Some people want to do something with their lives other than just work on tech. That and I've found -- both personally and by observing others -- that workaholism kills creativity. It leads to fixations and

I am presently in Asheville, North Carolina, another "mellow" place that's probably very much like Austin (except smaller). A lot of $100k freelancers too. I moved here from Boston, and I'm not going to go into why as it

"giving me the ability to pursue my own dream projects for more of the time." That's what I was getting at. SF and SV were built on that, and it's not possible there anymore unless you've got big investors.

The original origin of the "obsession with home ownership" was the idea of escaping the need to pay fealty to the rentier class by owning your own home. I completely agree that "house as investment" and house flipping

Yeah. I'm leaning toward no. But I'll hear them out. It's a good employer and they came after me, so why not.

Heh. I also hear that the SV school districts are not up to what you'd expect for a region with >$1mil house prices.

Building more housing is the only option, and like you say you can't build anything. Maybe Peter Thiel needs to build his floating seasteading metropolis. If he put it in the bay you could connect SV to Newark and Fremont via a gentrif

Yeah that's the other thing. $1 million for houses in a plain vanilla suburb. I mean, Silicon Valley minus its admittedly awesome tech/science scene is not much different from the duller parts of Orange County and is at least twic

And Oakland can get stabby. So it's stabby and overpriced. No thanks. If I wanted stabby I'd go to Detroit and get a Victorian for $25k.

NYC is more affordable than SF overall. The reason NYC's still got real-estate-price-itis is that demand still outstrips supply even though they do allow new construction. But the mismatch is not as great as the bay area, where from

Where do you commute? My possible offer's in Mountain View, and that seems like it would take a while. I also looked at Fremont/Newark, but have never physically been there. What's that area like? School district maps say som

I've got a possibly great job offer on the table from SF/SV, but may turn it down. I'd love the city I'm sure, but after glancing around I've come to the conclusion that home ownership is unthinkable to anyone who

These are all really cool and can be very useful, but personally I think decentralization and meshnets are to some extent a "false god" from a political and activism point of view. The fact is that any nation state can trivially a

There's unfortunately not much distance between the positive aspects of the hacker mentality and the antisocial "screw you, I've got mine" aspects. Who cares about public schools? Those are for poor people.
