   If you follow me on Twitter (@yuhong2), you probably have seen my recent discussions with BrendanEich on Google, Mozilla, and the debt-based economy. I even attempted a debt diagram. The government shutdown may hit this week, making it a go

   The Intel patents for up to SSE2 should expire soon, and hopefully the AMD64 patents should be licenseable from AMD (if they are interested in that). I would not be surprised if this already emulates up to SSE2, given the likely release dat

   I am thinking seriously about Yishan-style CEOs at this point. I wonder how many professional (as opposed to founder) Yishan-style CEOs even exist at this point. Yishan is not a founder-CEO BTW.

    The fun thing is that it increased adoptions of EVs in the short term. It is easier to design a building for them in the beginning than to add it after it is constructed.

    I remember the emergency Java patch after Flashback. I think it also had an issue.

    For a while I was thinking of the idea of Gecko for legacy XUL support and Servo being WebExtensions only.

    Yea, Apple seems to be the only major holdout for royalty-free formats in general at this point.

    I am talking about all goods not just food, and not claiming there are zero exports either. And yes, part of the reason we got off the gold standard was military spending. Even now I like to mention that the more NSA/FBI spends, the mo

    But in the long term, even local farming is probably a better idea than the current debt-based economy that depends on imported goods from for example China, especially when even central farming with long distance shipping of foods has its

    My favorite is how 8GB of RAM with 8Gbit chips require x16 chips with dual channel, which matters for Bristol Ridge for example.
