I guess it depends on where you buy the album and in what format. Last time I bought a CD it was still over $10, so anything that can give you variety at under $30/yr should be cheaper. The other nice thing about a streaming service is

OK, fine. The number is a sham. Were provisions for a particular level of broadband penetration and performance included in the 1996 Telecom Act? If so, was the inclusion of these provisions tied in any way to the more provider-friendly reg

It is amazing - or very, very ironic - that you're able to justify your argument with an excerpt from the book entitled "$200 Billion Broadband Scandal," which appears to be aimed towards educating the reader about the large

Who knows how well it would go over? I would be pleased to pay a metered rate, provided that the metering was standardized and easy to understand - like the electrical meter outside my home - and the pricing was fair. I would also expect th

The assumption that these things should be cheap is not new. I bought my first washing machine - a high speed front load type - about 12 years ago. It was ~$1k, but for several reasons I thought it was a good buy. The cashier made a big dea

I agree w/ the stupidity of treating certain issues as criminal. This is, I think, where the bulk of the problem really lies. The judicial system is overstressed and trying cases is very expensive, leading to lower quality investigatio

I think the 4% rate refers to inmates on death row, only. Not to the criminal population as a whole.

I think that's what we all wanted them to do - except for the frustrating few on here that seem to think what happened was right and natural, at least - but I'm not sure it was the correct thing to do for Netflix. I see this as a

Is it actually wrong? Data is plural. I kind of assumed it was one of those 'correct grammar' things like 'an historical' that looks wrong but isn't.

This is a strange position to take (net neutrality == affirmative action for startups?) but to answer your question: yes, it's still a good idea and yes, it artificially takes away an inherent advantage (or: 'regulates'). In

I don't really get the downvotes either, although it took me two readings of your comment to understand what you were saying. FWIW, here's what the FCC has actually published so far: http://www.fcc.gov/document&#x2

Well it is a little premature to cry doom before these guidelines are even adopted. But if they are, it will be kind of funny to read in a few years the comments from ISPs re: anti-neutrality policies stifling 'new' streaming serv

The edit button is gone. I guess these expire? My reply was not intended as an attack on Git. I use it daily and would choose it 10 times out of 10 vs. CVS for a new project. I just think the assertion that Git 'saved' Linux from

Git uses SHA-1 hashes, which have not been considered cryptographically secure since 2005. Git and CVS are both just tools. They each provide a server implementation, but it's uncommon to use either of these for write access in large p

I have been wondering the same thing. This link suggests that there are problems with NaCl preventing adoption, and puts forth a repackaged alternative called Sodium: http://labs.opendns.com/2013/03/06/announc

Thanks for your reply. I have no reason to doubt your projections. I mainly took issue with the 2.3x number in the parent blog post because I remembered you saying something different in your talk. That's all.

I'm actually wondering where the 2.3x number he cites is coming from. I don't believe the Mill team is claiming 2.3x performance advantage over Haswell while using 2.3x less power, which is how I read that comment. I watched the r

Yes I think you're right, which is why I think the IRS ruling is 'wrong' from the perspective of people who want bitcoin to be legal tender. I think the IRS ruling is entirely 'right' from the perspective of people

I don't think so, because when we were on the gold standard, the price of gold - or the exchange rate in US dollars (?) - was fixed.

No, I actually meant that for a particular act, you could be held accountable for one crime committed during the act and that's it. The idea being the prosecutor would pick the most serious charge likely to win conviction and focus the

I was just thinking about this. Why do we allow multiple charges per trial? What would happen if we only allowed one charge per trial, and it was a prosecutor's job to determine (along with existing duties) which one of the possible ch
