What are the use cases for the FPGA realistically? Then only piece of easily downloaded and installed code is a SHA based crytocoin miner.

If we as a society tolerate large scale institutions devoted to undermining and exploiting trust, we will all be immensely poorer. Rule of law , robust institutions and trustworthy systems are the basic infrastructure of the economy. It is

Google's login system is horribly broken. They seem to have to reinvent a method for handling the multi account scenario in every product. The resistance to adding G+ to accounts seems Sisphyean. Larry Page clearly envisions a common i
