I've thought about doing this, but email is important enough I don't trust myself to provide as much uptime as a commercial email provider. You probably should add SPF records too, if you don't want your outgoing mail marked

CPU mining is pretty much pointless now. And unless you're not paying for power GPU mining is pretty much a wash. Assuming an ATI 5870 uses 200W, and can do 400MH/s (which looking online seems about correct), you can expect to g

The Ford/Tesla example is completely different. Booz is a government contractor, and so is already sharing information with the NSA. If it is true that he took the job just to get the documents, he probably already knew about PRISM, bu

Or you could get a job where you can bring your dog to the office. That's what I do - he likes going to work more than I do, since he gets to see all of his friends at the office.

Corporate personhood is the easiest way to allow corporations to enter into contracts and engage in civil litigation. I'd be interested in what opponents of corporate personhood propose as ways around those problems, which I think are

Good point. Managing cash for a vending machine with high-value items seems like it might be a pain. I know there are various ipod vending machines around, but I assume most people use a credit card for those. But I suppose feeding some

A bitcoin-accepting vending machine would be very cool, but that requires that you live near one. Setting up shipping seems a lot easier than creating a nation-wide vending machine network.

Other people have commented on the payment issue - I'm glad you're looking into bitcoin. I'd be worried about delivery, too. I know you say you destroy customer information immediately, but if I'm truly paranoid I'

There's a difference between US and UK law that's interesting. In the UK, article 8 of the human rights act states that "Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home and his correspondence." A strict interpr

PGP would not be a good choice for this. The mail archives are still discoverable, and I imagine the decryption keys would be as well. Something closer to OTR would be a better choice. Deniability and forward secrecy are the important pro

The two I've seen recently are optar [1] and paperkey [2]. Paperkey is just for pgp keys, however. Optar claims to get about 200kB per A4 page, which seems fairly dense. [1] http://ronja.twibright.com/optar/ [2] https://news.ycombinato

The smartcard needs to support openpgp smart cards. You then create an RSA gpg key with three subkeys - signing, encryption, and authentication. You'll have to enable the advanced key-creation mode for the last one. That authentication s

This is interesting - I've never thought to investigate how ssh stores keys. For managing passphrases, I strongly recommend the program keychain: http://www.funtoo.org/Keychain It's a thin wrapper around ssh-agent, but ultimately means I

Probably one of the most common users of portable (ok, maybe I should say mobile) xrays are large animal veterinarians. I've seen them used with horses. Generally there's power at barns (someplace nearby, at least), but I imagine a genera

Yup, and as others have mentioned ICD-10 is worse. There are also CPT codes that specify the procedures and diagnostic techniques that doctors and other healthcare providers do. Insurance is then a mapping from ICD codes to allowed CPT code

I have a hunch that ambulance rides are probably covered by most insurance policies after lightning strikes (ICD-9 code 994.0 for the curious). In any event, a trip to the ER is definitely warranted, even if it's not in an ambulance.

A 5% withdrawal rate is a lot more comfortable, as it allows for some capital appreciation to handle inflation, and gives you more runway to weather market downturns. A quote about the efficient market hypothesis is relevant here - markets
