You mind emailing me (in profile)? I'm looking for some Bali specific info - just want to work and surf basically :)

Can you explain how land value tax relates to current UK council tax? Is CT just a really poorly implemented LVT and could LVT be implemented by modifying the existing CT system? I advocate for LVT in the abstract but get stuck on explainin

Is this basically the same as what Whonix does (routing through a dedicated gateway VM)? http://whonix.org

Sorry, I got excited and imprecise. I suppose I mean "developing on and around". I'm just trying to counter the idea that the excitement around ethereum is somehow manufactured by 'clever marketing'.

Are you suggesting that Consensys, Microsoft, R3CEV and Red Hat are only developing on Ethereum because of clever marketing? There isn't some technical merit to the platform that means they are doing this? Why didn't these compani

Someone linked to B4RN [1] the other day: community owned, non profit, symmetric gigabit internet in the north west of England, for £30 / month. If more of these networks spring up, then maybe something good will come of BT's tard

This is a big improvement over the previous setup, but I feel that it could do with handling the most insecure part of the process: downloading and verifying the tails iso. It would be great if this installer could leverage the trust I have

Is it easy to change the local 'dollars' for true US dollars? Is it 1:1 or are they less valuable?

"Fatal Terrain" is good as well. Released in 1997 so slightly more up to date. I read it hoping for fantastical descriptions of flying battleships hanging from a paper thin plot and was not remotely disappointed.

The problem is complicated if we consider that the missile is moving at supersonic speeds (~mach 3 + aircraft speed). I don't know much about supersonic fluids. For anyone interested in following this up, here is a paper on "Repro

If you're going to store a lot of history, you might want something nicer than the standard ctrl-r to search it with. [fzf] is ctrl-r on steroids. [fzf]: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf It's a fuzzy pattern m

Can you be more specific about the useful skills? Like a list, out of which you need 2 or 3. Would be good to know what specifically companies want you to be confident about :)

I wrote notedown precisely so that I could edit notebooks in my text editor and version control them as plain text. It would be good to be able to transparently edit a .ipynb in a text editor - I've been meaning to wrap notedown in a v

With the infrastructure described, I can imagine the turnover increasing as 'paper' length decreases. When there are lower barriers to sharing with other scientists perhaps the scientific method will become a more iterative and co

Yes, BlockQuote can be used as a generic block container. It doesn't have attributes itself but you can put them on a header at the start. For generic inline elements you can use Code. Markdown syntax for generic containers (Div and Sp

First: I'm not sure of the exact origins of things. The way I see it, academic markdown is more of an ecosystem of tools with a lot of overlap. There is no one single markdown workflow right now when you want to do do academic writing.

This is a fork because making these changes to pandoc itself needs a lot of consideration. Internal referencing and attributes on figures are two things that are currently being discussed for pandoc. The discussion has been going on for qui

Pandoc filters let you do a lot of things provided you stick to the defined types. If you want to add new types of element, like this does, then the only practical way is a fork. (except for really simple cases)

Thanks for the offer. I'm completely pro unix! The problem is more with presenting this in an enterprise palatable way - VMs are a bit of a grey area.

Do you have any plans for a windows installer? The alternative to Gitlab that I've found on windows are a bit lacking. Bonobo is nice but very basic.

Regarding the circulation problem, you might want to look at the 'ecofan': http://www.ecofan.co.uk/woodstove-ecofans.html It's a heatsink with a peltier sandwiched in the middle that drives a fan. Works prett
