I recognize those flaws as well, so I presume by the author's definition I am a progressive militiaman. Or maybe I'm just an intelligent individual. Big "maybe" there, admittedly.

"If there’s one thing that militias and Tea Partiers hate more than “fiat money” that’s not backed by gold, it’s fiat money that exists only in electronic form, where it can be easily tracked and controlled by the government." Ugh

Seems like the America Invents Act has created a great opportunity for a non-profit to organize lawyers/law students with engineers for purpose of filing briefs to dismantle the massive pile of software patents out there. I could see i

Irony is a black box trading system listening to the firehose and picking up that nugget.

Yeah, and they're not talking about it in a way that supports the cause are they?

two wrongs = one right? IF this event leads to better policing, you'll have an argument. Nobody that holds power is thinking "these people deserve more" right now.

Does karma play a part in the YC selection process? Restated: who cares? If any prospective hire told me their handle under the notion that karma indicates anything useful, I'd show them the door. EDIT: Exactly.

I find this very amusing and disturbing. I feel like I've worked for a couple of these companies.

The idea that one trader caused the flash crash is absurd. Every professional trading operation uses such strategies to shift the book, the large banks and funds especially. One guy? I feel like I am living in a fucking cartoon.

I'm tempted to get short Tucows on this, but they've been so awesome that I don't think I'd leave for Google's price point.

* Breadboard it. * Investigate the IP space and file a provisional patent. $500. * Find an OEM that can handle fulfillment. There are a ton and you don't need to find one in China; I'm working with one in Iowa right now. I came to

This is what happens when lawyers run your company. I was funded out of a John Deere Technology Innovation Center (JDTIC) during my PhD. Their approach to data was what ultimately pushed me to quit the program and go back to work. Everythin

Seconded regarding his cover on popsci. You have to admire his knack for self promotion.

Suppose I wanted to get started with FPGAs for purpose of computation (no interest in control or actuation of sensors/devices). What would be the best starting board for less than $300? I'm not a student, but I can probably find o
