Some of the Stern recordings were getting play during the primaries, but they weren't slowing Trump down since his opposition was split among so many different candidates. The bus tape was archival footage. If you're suggesting

Not a physicist so my answer may be totally wrong, but my first _guess_ would be that geocentrism necessitates unequally valid reference frames. You would need different equations to represent the movements of Venus and Mars relative to Ear

As rad as it would be if Google started doing privacy-friendly-ish datamining on user data by homomorphically encrypting it, you and I both know that's not what they're doing. You forgot the `/s`, sadly.

I think files have proven themselves to be a useful abstraction in enough use cases across enough device form-factors to be worth backporting into whatever your idea of an ideal lisp machine might be. You could, with a non-trivial amount of

As of about a year ago [1] it looks like there were quite a few, although the Redox devs were aware and intended to cut down on them. Apparently it's something you can't do completely without, but the goal seems to be to have as f

This does a very good job of explaining the value-add of lisp as a whole OS! And it does make the prospect of a working lisp OS on modern hardware seem quite exciting.

One of my favorite things to learn when I come across any experimental OS is: "why?" Redox wants to do microkernel architecture The Right Way, and wants to use a guaranteed memory-and-type safe language (Rust). ReactOS wants to cr

In addition to cloud VMs, I wonder what applications this might have on local systems. Systems that boot from encrypted partitions and can't have the keys recovered by cold boot attacks? Secure graphics acceleration of different guests

Using http://lmgtfy.com/?q=jet+fuel+density to get a range of 775.0-840.0 g/L for jet fuel, that gives us 37.4MJ/807.5g (taking the average of the jet fuel's mass) against 2.8MJ/180g for glucose. Scaling

Fascinating. And saddening. Would Lavabit have been protected if a prevailing Apple had stymied government access to cryptographic keys prior to their coming under scrutiny?

by spaceheeder 11y ago
The argument that Apple is too-big-to-compel is in the same spirit as arguing that they're too-rich-to-compel. So my closing question stands: if Apple prevails, how likely are courts to treat this as a precedent if and when the governm

Their current line is that, with increased WebRTC adoption, bridges will somehow become unnecessary? I'm not convinced, and agree with you that there may be some problems here that will lead to poor performance (which is critical). Acc

Going on a slight tangent off of jude-'s question, will there be any social or economic incentive for making one's bridge persistent, or capable of holding more data? Or will this rely on volunteer participation, like tor/fre

by spaceheeder 13y ago
Based on my read through, I think the files themselves live in the bridges and the DHT is how they are found. So you could set up an Avatar bridge in the cloud and use that as your bridge (or put the bridge on your local device and tell _it
