Elon gets that humans need to go to the stars to ensure our survival. That's the big idea. The neat part is writing history along the way.

It's a good insight. There is distinction between I/O (rendering the video and audio to the host) and computations of a seemingly blackbox. Would also be an interesting avenue for malware to grow into if possible. The problem i

Funny you should mention this. I was asked to "suggest solutions" to this in 2008 as a client-facing AWS enterprise consultant in the mobile industry. The naïve way relies on: "If there isn't a Rootkit or capture mechan

To avoid hobgoblins wearing Faraday cages without denying the reality of the privacy debate, open source hw can make them quieter. I think it's going to happen because of PC market forces (IBM/Lenovo, Dell) and prior examples (Op

Host-based security is a whole dead horse discussion, but I still believe Def-in-Dpht means "use everything you can get your hands on; reveal the least as possible." Correct me if I'm wrong: which OSes have desirable CSPRNG p

I wonder how many other founders throw around romantic notions of robbing a bank. I mean there's media exposure, groupies and money. See also: Stander (2003).

Yup. More ways to show off. There's a line that can be crossed if the reviewer isn't cool enough or it comes off wrong. Caveat submitter. But who's gonna worry about that? :)

Read anything by Felix Dennis, and you'll be able to see the meta: it's a mind game and quite fun when you can step back a bit. Also, he's comes off as wickeder than Ben Franklin if that were possible.

The problem with centralized privacy-as-a-service is the Fed raid problem. In order to be "fed proof," a service must be sufficiently distributed. PS: I'll say what has been said again, Lavabit was so close to being wildly s

This maybe true for most system languages on some platforms. My OS internals are rusty, but from hacking on minix, there was an issue for x86 bootstrapping into protected mode stuff to set important things like interrupt handlers and other

Very cool. Virgin started with one only plane. SA's present niche is quite different. The bottom line is that it's doable considering others still exist. Tip: Virgin LHR counter is well run and I look forward to stopping by for

A shining counter-example to this article's core argument is the city of SF. They release tons-and-tons of data in hopes more people make cool new apps with it in ways they didn't think of. http://sfpark.org/how-

There's always money that can be made, even if it's a "commodity" by being a knowledge person / service provider. By open sourcing, that's a signal of so much confidence on a mfgr's part that people would

Seems to be a totally incoherent braindump of every populist psuedo-fear, similar to a political stump speech. The only half-way valid point is on organic greenwashing.

A friend evaluated these folks about 4 months ago and concluded there was too much hype. Since none of this has happened, this is a pattern of not following through. You be the judge.

Yep. It's a consequence of information entropy. Both start receiving different stimuli or have other subtle differences that make each different like twins. The ethics seem to be that each should have rights equal to exist (run) as
