> But access needs to be regulated. Regulated by whom? Why is it insufficient for people to install their own filters? After all, ISPs have offered (often given away) such filtering software to their customers for many years now.

Except there are dozens of counterexamples to that, of extremely wealthy people who do nothing or (at worst) the opposite of philanthropy. This might be a interesting read to soothe your cynical side: http://www.slate.com/b

The point was made best because it presented a counterexample. Merely pointing out 'ad-hoc fallacy' (or similarly, my pet hate 'citation needed') might make the author and a few other people feel good about themselves fo

Since it's based around quaternions it shouldn't suffer from gimbal lock. As for perspective, what do you mean by that? Aren't globes always in perspective?

That's not surprising, the Atom is a proper CPU, whereas the RPi is a GPU that incidentally has a wimpy CPU attached to it. However, it's a lot easier to take a punt on a project at the RPi's price point.

Basic income would be the alternative to food stamps designed to be used for long periods of time. It's actually a little surprising that the concept is not given more attention, at least in countries with socialised health care. It wo

The length of the digest is 32 bits in the linked example and for Bitcoin is 160 bits. Assuming the hash functions are good, if you only have 32 bits of output you can expect to find a collision after 77,000 hashes; the examples used three

Perhaps an even easier to imagine example: would the Industrial Revolution have happened if we had the same pollution and labor laws then? Or looking at the other side, if China had the same laws as us, if we had nowhere to outsource our ex

Their raison d'être is transparency, but publicising an internal memo doesn't magically turn it into a press release. It is clearly structured and written for WikiLeaks affiliated staff to use when discussing the film, anything el

If it makes you feel better (worse?), even the big guys do this; I recall reading SAP HANA marketing materials which did a similar thing to OP[0]. With enough precomputation and knowing which data to skip, you too can achieve better than li

In the UK (probably other countries too) you have to put up a deposit, designed to prevent frivolous candidatures. I suppose if you can afford to lose your deposit it's not a bad way to protest; even better if you get more votes than t
