This is a brilliant idea. Let's work on that. Seriously. Do you want to work on this together?

An important point: the would likely confiscate any devices you refuse to unlock. Is it worth that?

This helps a lot actually, thank you. I know what works for one may not work for another - but it's good to know that revisiting it as a hobby may not be a complete waste of time.

what did you study/how did you learn to design FPGAs? I had an early intro to verilog in school but it all seemed so opaque to me. Do you think it's possible for people to teach themselves? Thanks.

That's obviously completely fair, and I appreciate you replying at all. I guess I took it as you were working for a single company and not a proprietor in any way. So that was (false) context I injected, and that's on me.

Clever setup. Very space-efficient. Do you find you get much utility as a standup in the entry way? Or is it used more as a server and you just have the monitor and keyboard there in case you need to log in quickly?

Although I happen to agree with you, please understand this logic does not apply to children. You are monkeying around with t in the s domain here. It's just a different ballgame. Everything else you do has a certain limit (you can

Definitely not the only one. I think it depends on what stage your kids are at. Are they old enough to have their own hobbies? Our first arrived recently, I've resigned myself to the fact that working toward any sort of mastery agai

I think the implication is "should they make a suboptimal decision in order to stay on schedule?" In this case 'suboptimal decision' is denying access to OSS. I think.

You quoted something I didn't say. How does that even work? Is there a word for this? There should be. Anyway that's not what I said - I said they are the only ones who draw consistent ire. As in they are forcefully denounced

Ironically, your implication of tu quoque is itself a logical fallacy. I am not saying "RT is unbiased because Western media _is_ biased" - in fact I am saying all media is biased but of the parties mentioned only one consistentl

Where is evidence of this 'reputation for being Putin's mouthpiece?' Other than your impassioned assertions? Also, all media is biased. BBC is biased toward Western and UK interests, RT is biased toward Russian interests.

While the article mentions RT as an example of state-owned media, none of the cited incidents actually involve it. Also this website self-identifies as anti-Russian "disinformation." RT, ironically, has a similar mission against

RT is state-funded as is the BBC and PBS, among many others. But none of them are immediately dismissed as propaganda. Why? Simply because "it's Russia?"

What makes RT propaganda? The fact that they are critical of the US in ways our own media isn't?

I always wonder if the subversive elements that make it through aren't "missed" necessarily by a censor. I like to think that it's an act of subversion, a protest-by-omission, by some of the few people of conscience dee

I would guess it's expensive enough to get cut, right? People could donate, sure. It would still need dedicated resources. It's a popular enough service to need high concurrency and reasonably high availability - at least for p

I understand and agree with you w.r.t. hostels vs. hotels, and also feeling too old for that scene. I regularly get the impression that people become less outgoing over time (unless they're already tipsy when you meet them). I feel l

That's literally not what he said at all - he said "a non-zero number", meaning (i'm assuming here) an amount that exists but is difficult to quantify, yet not so low as to be completely ignored.
