If you're not worried about certain chip features and power draw, last gen server equipment is very cheap.

The current enemy is always the source of the leaks. A few months back it was china. The political move is just the finger pointing.

I have. Mine had little power, but even still, someone on your side was there for you for any problem you had. It's almost like having a lawyer. He may or may not do much, depending on the case, the location and the situation, but he's there for you so you're not alone. My pay was also very good because of the union negotiation power.

bitJericho··on How to Raise a Creative Child – Step One: Back Off (2016)
I think extemes in general are bad, but off the cuff I would suspect no parenting to be better than overparenting. At least you got to see the consequences of poor choices, and that the world really doesn't give two shits about you (or anyone).
bitJericho··on How to Raise a Creative Child – Step One: Back Off (2016)
It's so important to let your kid think. I see parents helicoptering and it's very damaging. I had met a couple at a friendly gathering that brought their 2 year old. Not only could he hardly talk, which was surprising to me, he had no chance to make any decision. The child and his parents were paging through a sales flyer, because they didn't think to bring suitable activities, and they were ogling over toys. So I pointed to the knives on a page that came up and joined in, "oh let's get these" and the child instinctively said yeah! Then I could see the clockworks moving and before the kid could say anything the parents chimed in. A missed opportunity to let the kid make his own, good, decision. I fear he'll grow up and fail to make decisions at all.

Conversely, with my children, I try to talk with them as much as I can, and let them talk too. I let them order food themselves and I demand good table manners. That doesn't mean they can't be children, but they are not allowed to climb under or on the table, or be a nuisance. An easy fix for a problem child in a restaurant is to leave. The child must learn that there are consequences. The child wont go? Leave without them and they will freak and catch up. They fail that drag them out. Saying no and sticking with it is important, but equally important is giving the child a chance to catch up, mentally, with decision making and situational awareness.

Why did Disney use the Grimm's fairy tales and not invent their own?
bitJericho··on Pirate Bay Founder: ‘I Have Given Up’ (2015)
You're right. That's why we have infinite copyrights now and that works great for making sure the rich stay rich and the poor starving artists stay poor.

Copyrights past 7ish years is criminal. I won't respect and support a government and set of laws designed only for the wealthy.
bitJericho··on Material Design Color Tool
I worked for a very large corp that wanted to convert an application that we used to process applications. It took less than a second to process 99 percent of applications. They wanted to switch from a cli app to web. I told them they were nuts. We could currently process the days queue in minutes. Sure the company could have loaded all the data and used js to feed them out quickly, but the programmers had no idea what we were doing and certainly wouldn't have designed it correctly. The company wasn't changing it to be trendy, they were changing it to make things easier. It would have had the opposite effect.

bitJericho··on Minecraft Set to Launch Its Own Currency
My kid didn't understand until the vurtual items he bought with his hard earned money, about 80usd, vanished when the company shut down. It was a brilliant educational moment. Alas Minecraft is probably good for another decade!

I think your patriotism is getting in the way of your perception of reality.
bitJericho··on After Moving Servers to Russia, LiveJournal Bans ‘Political Solicitation’
Citation needed. America sucks, and has done the most, except china, to counter the ideals of the internet. That aside, in all areas of life, Russia may be more obvious, but the US policies and practices are insidious and equally twisted.

Or you could, you know, just teach them the consequences. Eg, talking to catfish, child porn charges, etc.

If drivers were open sourced so much of our tech would still be useful 10 or 20 years on. Manufactured obsolescence is really hurting society.

They're also huge liabilities. You can't reason with unreasonable people. I do believe you can help them in other ways tho.
