> whining about long hours I could get on board with the rest of your list, but this struck me as odd to include. Can you elaborate how it fits into that list?

> SMART Any idea how you get known good samples for new drives (without buying a bunch of new drives)?

Sounds like that was potentially a good way to weed out a terrible place to work.

I guess I would say the high level functions of public key cryptography aren't that hard to grasp. Things like "hey either one of these keys can encrypt something the other one can…

Can you give me a better definition of "personal" vs "private", because I'm seeing all sorts of problems there.

Odd. I would only assume people kept possessions they made (tools, weapons, trinkets, etc.) prior to any formal states existing (or pooled them voluntarily). But, then, you get int…

Private property requires that a private individual stake a claim to it. Private property is mutually exclusive of a state. The state [typically] is the primary violator of private…

Another frustration with the RPi cluster is the arm requirement. If you're only building/running your own stuff, that's fine, but finding containers and helm charts that support ar…

"The Whole Brain Child" is an excellent primer on how children's brains work and behaviors are exhibited, and from researchers in this area. I'm now listening to the follow-up "No-…

Can you explain more in terms of the planet side of things? I get that you think the wealth can be generated, but I think the comment you are responding to is referring to how can …

I am legitimately curious how a government entity can get a patent. Shouldn't anything funded with tax dollars automatically get put into the public domain?

I'd rather you write the code. Keep up the good work. Hopefully these changes will allow you more time to focus on adding value to the vast majority of users. If a small subset of …

One of my hobbies is birding: specifically going out and trying to count all the birds I can find down to a species level. This requires a good ear to do well. Many times I find my…

It's the government's requirements for filing 10-Ks and 10-Qs that generate this type of behavior. Plenty of examples out there where capital-raising efforts, and therefore investm…

What's the solution to the problem of hating the Content Marketing game? I think the fear of having to deal with writing spam blogs/emails is one of the bigger mental hurdles to my…

I've also been thinking about the whole "deflationary" nature of BTC (scare quotes intended), and the claims that it leads to an economy that cannot grow (the typical standard econ…

Who cares what the "local government" wants, what do the people want? The people could probably care less about huge lines being run if they can get their internet faster and cheap…

Also, lorem ipsum on team page! Wow.

To be fair, the "pursuit" of those things are considered natural rights. Not the things themselves. Not saying that a right to privacy doesn't exist. I think it exists because a co…

At least when you talk about reviewing code that "someone wrote in a month", note that a quick `rm -rf .git; git init; git add *; git commit` works wonders for others' perception o…

If they are operated completely independently, then why conflation with CMU/academics when churning sympathy? The fact is, NREC and Uber are both businesses.

What's wrong with using jenkins to invoke the local tooling?

404?

AWESOME. I didn't know that, but it makes sense and is very unixy.
