Been to a few of these cities a couple of times. The development and culture is amazing to see. The Shanghai museum is well curated, dongzhimen st. in Beijing is great for food. Vegetarian food isn't too hard to come by if you're

And yet, engineering/scientific knowledge is exactly that more politicians need and vice versa, the political skill (civic engagement) is what engineers/scientists need if they're going to run. Carter was an evangelical, whic

The opposite of everything you just said. People need to be fucking responsible and learn what is right, if you need to experiment, make mistakes, fine. You are personally responsible for the government you get. You can learn before an elec

I can name one engineer who was president, Jimmy Carter. How many politicians in general are engineers or scientists? How many are in positions Sam mentions? My guess would be < 10%. I'm probably overestimating. Engineers are probab

I do like the vim-ness of xmonad in this video, and the tabs, and context awarness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70IxjLEmomg Will need to work on getting these features through xmonad, or something else. gtile itself see

Once I had compiz working, it's been gnome exclusively. Fluxbox was easy to configure with multiple monitors and customize in general. Just tried xmonad with xmonad --replace, and crashed X. Which has been my only experience with xmona

I was looking forward to kde4 until the slow/buggy reality hit. Maybe it was my graphics drivers, but the kicker successor never delivered for me. I switched to fluxbox for a while, and then gnome as it was and has stayed in a better s

As others have mentioned, music is almost copyright free. Book publishers like springer will sell you watermarked ebooks, and you can find almost any game actually worth your time on gog.com. If producers and consumers wanted, the same coul

Why do you need a car when you can walk? Why use encryption when you can physically hide things? The answer to these questions and more is that when it isn't about faster/better/cheaper, it's about improving quality of l

If this were true in media, Mickey Mouse wouldn't still be copyrighted. DRM is recent, very recent, compared to analog media. It seems like the industry binged on copyright a little too much and by the time digital distribution came ar

If you only used fingerprinting/watermarking instead of DRM, you could very well imagine an alternate model where creators are rewarded, and can find an audience a bit better, piracy is kept to a minimum, and culture is better off. The

I wouldn't write it off so easily, it makes sense as an open source alternative to google's project treble albeit with parts of android still running underneath. A stable linux HAL on a few widely used devices would make all the u

If contracts weren't around in 2007, the Neo 1973 might have done better, but the price point was still high and is too high today compared to a $50 phone from amazon. Wanted one, but never got one..

Thanks Li, seems like http://udash.io/ would be a more direct comparison to GWT.

About as well as jquery-ui or bootstrap would deal with browser inconsistencies if that's what you use for pre-made widgets/forms/layouts/themes/etc.. as other have said, you can use any js library.

You're asking me to believe the ranking that has assembly or basic in the top 10 over github's rankings. No thanks.

Li Haoyi (scala.js author) explains why he worked on scala.js pretty well: http://www.lihaoyi.com/post/FromfirstprinciplesWhyIbetonScal... Using scala.js with jquery-ui or any other js library using facades works well.

Looking at http://www.rtl-sdr.com/tag/passive-radar/ and youtube, it seems like some progress has been made. Not sure if any of the code is open sourced in GNU Radio, Desktop SDR or http://www.rtl-sdr.c

Thanks for posting links to the videos and the meetup group, would've joined it years ago if I'd known about it. Quick question, anything radar related in the videos?

I'm not against renting, or something as a service etc.. I'm just saying the benefits of actually owning something you need pays for itself. If you're new to skiing and want to try it out? Rent the gear. Going more than twice

If you need them, even as an investment, you can always rent out a house. Having a small car as a daily driver and a big one for a family car makes sense. There are drivers that rent Priuses for hundreds/week and earn a living on Uber&

I didn't say there are no exceptions. I have an e-bike, live near public transport, bike lanes, and hate owning my car too. Would I switch to using Lyft exclusively? If the south bay invested more in the VTA like Muni in the city, and

We still live in an ownership society AFAIK. Owning your own home, car, the vast majority of products you use pays. Owning multiples of each pays even more. The parts of society where this isn't true is media, and it's a shame. Yo

I will buy DRM-free when it's available, but stripping DRM from Kindle Store is the next best option, and usually cheaper too. Amazon should have an DRM-free option or fingerprinting option for publishers. I am not sure if it does. I b

If Netflix used fingerprinting instead of DRM, as is used in Books and probably MP3s, it would be better overall. Fair use does still exist when you're renting.

They blocked VPNs around the same time as their global expansion, and when VPNs were becoming increasingly popular, in addition to becoming a new major content creator. I don't care about it enough to think more, you might be more righ
