In practice Avalon draws 620 Watts and runs at 66 GH/s [1]. And let me introduce a few points to consider for an inspired by your calculation soon-to-be miner :) 1. BFL [2] and whoever else is able to produce an ASIC system start shipping v

I'm not sure why is it the top comment. EU democracy may not be great, but it's a lot better than American, in terms of social justice. Lobbying, especially its American variation, is well known for its corruptive quality. And the mentioned

I'd like to see a European country openly invade Middle East ignoring the UN Charter and get away with it. I'd also like to see a European country poison the markets with loads of toxic assets causing massive turmoil around the world and, a

I think it says a lot about the U.S. and its world police attitude. Coming without notice to another country on a private jet demanding full cooperation. That's the height of arrogance. I can only praise Iceland for such swift and duly resp

Well, Facebook is a catalog of people. Most of them use real identities. 15% of the world's population willingly share their lives online with full tracking available. It's a dream come true to any secret agency. Push for real identities

Yes, sadly, most cases of whistle-blowing in the government sector end up in retaliation and prosecution of whistle-blowers themselves and little to no change in the relevant agencies. Wikileaks had a great potential. It's like a startup se

Yes, I kept reading about the author's feats and glory thinking "well, great, but... let me check the title again". Apparently, a fair amount of ego rubs off on you when you work with Steve Jobs :)

Nothing in this correspondence surprises me. Just an everyday Steve Jobs. What I worry about is his apprentice - Mark Zuckerberg. Who is possibly more brutal in his approach, and potentially far more dangerous .

Well, that was depressing. To tell the truth I couldn't finish reading the article. It feels so much as a fiction novel that the idea that it chronicles the actual events is deeply unsettling. How the fuck can this happen in our time? And h

I think it's not kinda sad , but outright offensive. I understand the commercial value of a fully identifiable and tracked person online, but there has to be a line to draw. Every transparency feature is opt-in by default. Privacy is slowl

Thank you for this write up. It's nice to see this rational, weighed view on the incident among reactive speculations and accusations. But why a throw-away account?

It looks very nice. If I happen to write a project on PHP, I'll sure give it a try. They didn't tag v4.0 release on github, hence the zip package link is 404. https://github.com/laravel/laravel/archive/4.0.zip You can instead fetch master

First off, I don't share the sentiment that "it's hard to read on the web". I'm doing just fine. The only time I grumble is when text reflow fails or I have to go through n pages to read an article. Static "newspaper" text is a neat idea an

How does staring at a bright screen affect sleep? If anything, it makes me tired and I fall asleep even faster.

by znowi 14y ago
Yes, same here. Default 3400K is very uncomfortable on my eyes. 4300K fluorescent is bearable, but still annoying. I much prefer to change brightness if I need to ambiently adjust the screen.

I'm sorry to hear that. I can only hope that the new year will make it right for you. I'd really like to know more about what kind of fundamental failures you're talking about. You hear a lot how failing is OK and one should not be afraid t
