the binary log: January 2010

Monday, January 25, 2010. The Elephant in the Room. I'm baffled: why is the debate about intellectual property and DRM so deep in denial? Blog posts ranting about how awful DRM is or complaining about the RIAA and the MPAA are a dime a dozen, so this one won't be another of those. I think there's a more fundamental problem, one that people don't seem to talk about as much:. You can't protect a sequence of bits while also distributing it for consumption. Of music. If they were actually paying $0.9...As a ...

Monday, December 14, 2009. Two Decades, Two Birthdays. I'm twenty now. This will take some getting used to. True-color Earth, courtesy of NASA.). To Dec. 11, and I'd be underage again. Finally, by the time we landed in Sydney, my legal age would change a third time. Not that it would matter, since the drinking age Australia is 18. Cheers! Sunday, December 6, 2009. We just finished an awesome trip. A side-trip, but still- we spent the week in southern Thailand, on hills, on a beach, and in no less tha...

the binary log: Software patents
http://dcposch.blogspot.com/2011/05/software-patents.html
Monday, May 2, 2011. Just wrote this for an online forum in an interesting class I'm taking: CS181, Computers and Ethics in Society. Thought I'd post it here, too. I've written about software patents before. If I had carte blanche to change just one thing about our laws, this would be it. I think that software should not be patentable for three reasons. First, software algorithms are inherently abstract and mathematical. I'll conclude with a quote from Id's founder, John Carmack. The idea that I can be p...

the binary log: Net Neutrality
http://dcposch.blogspot.com/2011/05/net-neutrality.html
Thursday, May 19, 2011. Many of us who care about freedom on the internet care about particularly contentious policy issue: Network Neutrality. This issue seems to be coming to a head very quickly. I've finally collected some of my thoughts. Net Neutrality entails legal protection of equality on the internet. Broadband internet access is at most a duopoly, between the local DSL provider and the local cable internet provider.). As one user put it in a discussion on BitTorrent throttling,. I'm optimistic t...

the binary log: September 2010
http://dcposch.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 28, 2010. The Solar Car Project. Has been recruiting really successfully. We now have an absurd 10% of the new Class of 2014 on our mailing list, and more than a hundred people who have showed up at the shop for over the past week. The strategy team has lots of cool projects Sam. And I have been working on. Going from one- or two-person projects to full teams with a wide range of math and coding experience is going to be both difficult and awesome. The list. Sunday, September 19, 2010.

the binary log: February 2010
http://dcposch.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 7, 2010. Round two, featuring Bruce Schneier. Bruce Schneier just wrote a post on all the suggestions to add authentication to the internet. Then, Schneier draws a parallel between universal authentication and copy protection:. The whole attribution problem is very similar to the copy-protection/digital-rights-management problem. Just as it's impossible to make specific bits not copyable, it's impossible to know where specific bits came from. [.]. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Friday, February 11, 2011. I'm very excited to join Addepar over the summer. Addepar is an early-stage startup. They're building software for fund managers- private equity types, family offices and perhaps even university or nonprofit endowments. They're solving a bunch of unmet needs for the kinds of customers most companies can only dream they had. Tuesday, February 1, 2011. Why startups are cooler. As if I needed another reason!

the binary log: April 2009
http://dcposch.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 19, 2009. Last weekend, we went on an epic roadtrip through California. It's an annual section leader. Tradition, and this was its fourth year. On Friday afternoon, we piled into cars with food, sleeping bags, laptops, and cameras, and started our trip. The goal? Solving puzzles and getting places as fast as possible. BAWK is framed as an adventure game. The theme? Always a B-movie. This year it was Cannibal Women of the Avocado Jungle of Death. Stop 1: the Salton Sea. I'm Daniel Posch....
