I really like overtone and what people could do with it. I had it installed, but I gave up after I realized my emacs muscle memories had atrophied a bit too much. That said the constant development of supercollider has made it the preemin

I feel like with the rash of computers* at this price point, I'm waiting for something at $9.99 before I get excited. *for some value of computer

I can think of a word that rhymes with patriot for this guy. That said it was great to hear the congress and the heads of the departments agreeing that the entire process deserves review. There was zero animosity, etc at the finance commit

In many ways the most illegal thing you can do with prism is blackmail, right? But with swift boating and birther stuff it's easy to see that it takes a lot less effort to just lie. Actual prosecution of citizens under such a wiretap

Quick search for telecom immunity shows me that hn forgot that Verizon, et al are exempt from such prosecutions after the GOP pushed for said immunity in the late aughts. That was a good fight the dems put up against this sort of thing, bu

Compared to the 300 things I could get sued for daily, I think I'm probably doing just fine odds wise.

I grew up there from 79 to 97. My mom was mayor and a ton of my friends live there. I've since gone to school and lived in NYC, LA and now DC. Jamestown is still one of my favorite places on the planet. Cheap housing is just a bonus. It

My mom was mayor of Jamestown for a couple years. Most houses that were maintained have kept their value. We just have a twisted sense of how housing value should work. Even around Chautauqua lake, where the best real estate is in that cou

Derp, my girlfriend was at that conference with her macbook air. I feel like I should put a condom on mine now.

I had an ATM card eaten in London on vacation because I couldn't recall the PIN. That was a weird moment.

I do the same thing. It helped when I did get skimmed. Looking back the card slot was slightly wobbly. Now I always check. My credit union contacted me the same day, hours after the skimmage and everything was taken care of practically

"poor dear" isn't the worst she's been called w/r/t this bit of budgetary honesty coming to light. Nor has she read all that much of the commentary. She has read the pieces by Matt Yglesias, Ezra Klein, etc. The most recent one on Al Jaze

My Dad was a musician his entire life. He's had other side jobs, but that was always his dream and big plan. I decided to go to engineering school and do music on the side. That has been much more successful for me money wise and in a way

Being an established writer and a couple bucks will buy you a coffee. She asked, he said no, that would normally be the end of such an interaction. But he decided to publicize the fact that his writing was worth $0 and original writing wou

Oddly the Atlantic is doing pretty well. If Nate Thayer wasn't resting on the laurels of his 1987 Pol Pot interview he probably would've caught onto the joys of ePub tie ins, etc.

heheh. Olga is my girlfriend, she needs just about zero white-knighting.

I told her she should write about it (I just created this account, she doesn't know I'm commenting on it here) ... If she had asked him for an interview on the topic (for free obviously) this would've been a non-issue. But she thought she

Good on you, that is a good looking site and it fills a niche for people like you and I who pay for content. I really hope there can be a tip system (bitcoin, ripple, paypal, dwolla) that can be a click at the end of a good article. I coul

Actually story this post is about: 3 tweets 5 facebook likes. This story: 2K tweets 3K facebook likes. Seems like people are about 1000 times more interested in behind the scenes of freelancing than his research into NK basketball.

> I will not just be a passive observer in all of this. What journalism outlets do you pay money to subscribe to?

by nutate 14y ago
Which came first, that's the question, right?

by nutate 14y ago
Ya, the middle man is getting cut out, but when a site like the Atlantic can publish your content, give you a byline, and a wider audience, you can do a lot with that exposure. Or you can write a bitchy blog post and keep writing for nknews

That offer was a decade ago, not a few years ago. You could just not renew your subscription I suppose.

Exactly. Ad revenue of newspapers slipped over 50% during that time. The whole market got eaten up and destroyed, worse than the music industry could've ever dreamed. There is still a great bunch of journalism out there, like Vice (who ac

(tried to post this on his site, but it is awaiting moderation) I guess it always hurts to find out the going rate for your writing is $0. How much did the venerable NK News pay him I wonder. A 6 figure offer a few years ago? Sadly 2003 (wh
