IceyEC··on AMD’s Zen Summit Ridge 8-core CPUs on Par with Intel I7 5960X Extreme
I've got ECC (unregistered but still) in my "consumer grade" desktop[1] today, and have for a while; while many motherboards don't say whether they support ECC or not, some do and most AMD CPUs do as well.

It does for me, Chrome on OSX
IceyEC··on Ask HN: What are you currently building?
I started building an instant messaging system based on Tor's anonymity model while taking advantage of NaCL and Rust for type safety, speed, and modern crypto. Have gotten most of the crypto functional, now I just have to figure out my DHT implementation so you can find the person you want to chat with :-)

IceyEC··on Snowden in talks on returning home: lawyer
I think that part of what he desires is to be able to make any defense that he wants. As stated in CitizenFour and again in his AMA, a defense in this case would be severely limited in what it could claim, because the case involves espionage, he would be unable to make a defense claiming that the actual laws are unjust, for example.
