Well, lets see what I can do to help this effort.... Here is a link to an Atari 2600 emulator with every game. There's also a loader to load in any game or rom. That would allow near-instantaneous game and application creation via this

Why am I not surprised. I guessed this months ago and told people to stay away from it. It was a closed-source blob masquerading as open source hardware (under the Arduino name). Good thing the people at my hackerspace understood what I was

Manning just did a data dump, damn anyone who was actually in there. From what I understand, there were active agents dossiers in the data Manning released. That's simply not a responsible whistleblow. Now, turning in bad programs and

Well, I know that some thermoplastics can be mixed with good results. I've a roll of polycarbonate-ABS in my printer right now. Normally polycarbonate prints at 310C, and this blend prints at 295C. Ive seen other blends as well, with i

lvs strikes a chord with me as well. I'm also an academic (well, staff in implementation of MS Cloud technologies at a 150k user university). Coming from a very liberal campus has exposed me to a great deal of people, from Anarcho-capi

I held off responding because I wasn't aware of this. I needed to research after your mentioning involvement in UBI research. Yes, my views of SV are shaped by internet media, business acquisition coverage, comments here at YC news, an

Of course. The 3 of us were intending to get a drink or two at a bar in the course of the evening. I also occasionally go to a GLBT bar locally, so it's not out of the ordinary to go to one up there. He also told us that it was a gay b

I'm a guy and have been subject to sexual harassment. Now, I'm also bisexual, and I get that people want to be forward. It's called a mating signal for a reason, and that area is fraught with misunderstandings on both sides.

Those two issues are orthogonal to each other. On some plane of understanding, business executives understand that lack of money makes commerce grind to a halt. It's a form of tragedy of the commons, in monetary philosophy. Henry Ford

Of course, DanBC. But questioning the inherent biases (and actions) of Silicon Valley are verboten. It's a sacred cow, in to the point I'm not even allowed to discuss these areas. And perhaps Uber was a good and bad idea both. The

But that's what I'm speaking of: an inherent bias. Silicon Valley has this notion that one can replace hundreds, thousands, or millions of people with "short shell scripts". The base idea is something I'm OK with. H

In effect, this is simply a group-think assay for those whom think in the "Silicon Valley VC mindset".

An FTP server is perfectly fine for anonymous logins, assuming it was configured server side to be running as a low permissioned user. But yes, once you start taking user credentials, you need to move to something like FTPS or SFTP (urg

Not at all. Even a simple programming question can stump someone not trained in it. I've seen people who (supposedly) have computer science degrees fail on FizzBuzz. In the end, it makes some sense to "talk shop" about progra

To someone who can't do it, it is a trick question. The "trick" is the first hump - a goat.

Well, for starters, you need a computer that can create the public/private key pair for a BTC transaction. That's nowhere near free... Whereas most banks allow creation of an account for $50 BTC highly fluctuates, making storing m

Oh please. Unless you were in on the ground floor with CPU mining, you aren't getting many coins now. There was only 6 months where you could use GFX cards, and now the "room full of ASICs" take the cake. Bitcoin is useful if

I second bcook's response. I have a good friend of mine who moved locally from the Kansas City area. He was a union carpenter, electrician, and framer there, so he approached our union hall. They snagged him up the same day, and was ou

My view of having a mens rea requirement with child porn statues are derided with comments like: "Congratulations, you're now on an FBI watch list." ( (s)he did agree with me) Yet if there is no guilty mind, there should be n

Whatever. If they can't control their urges, and they sexually abuse people whom can't give consent, they need to be put away. Whether that is a mental health asylum, prison, or somewhere/somehow else, so be it. I don't

And that's what we get when simple possession of an image is a statutory crime with no means rea. I can watch videos of people getting killed on reddit. I can watch rape videos. I can even watch videos of horrific crimes.... But how da

I guess I'm still not following. If I sync a git repo from random location, I have the files to make that package. However none of the documents that aren't explicitly in the git repo are provided. With Git[hub/lab/...],

Oh, I agree. But I still think Git, even over IPFS, has significant failings. Mainly, how do I share the issues and other problems that Github has did their own GUI for? Fossil SCM seems to fit that bill. As another user said, they can addr

That's why I'm waiting for the Chinese shops to start making standards-compliant gear. I will gladly buy it and recommend others to buy. I'm sick and tired of the US 'business playground' antics. A certain VC fundin

I do trust the cloud. But I also don't trust other peoples' servers (what we usually think of the cloud). Clouds I trust: IPFS (interplanetary filesystem), Tor. I store .5 TB in IPFS right now, and it just works. Nobody can stop m

You're right. I wasn't sure if it was here, reddit, or somewhere else. IIRC, it also had a quadcopter that jammed GPS or something, and the auto-taxi drove through a bridge and fell in the water.
