Could you share something about how you compose containers from different code bases? This has always felt hacky to me, but maybe I'm doing it wrong.

These aren't really the source files, because they aren't easily editable. I believe the parent was asking for the KiCad files.

I was curious and looked up this claim. Turns out PolitiFact looked into it: http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2014/sep/09/...

The conclusion:

  Bolling said the United States has "the highest corporate tax rate in the free
  world." He was referring to the statutory rate, meaning the rate before
  deductions. On that score, he’s right: The United States does have the highest
  statutory rate among developed countries. However, the United States’ corporate
  tax rate doesn’t appear to be the highest once deductions and other exclusions
  are taken into account.

I found it an interesting article so I decided to share.

Ha, that's a clever little tool!

For anyone curious, this uses the same idea as the "guess-and-check" approach spullara mentioned: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=953569

It changes the content of the commit (by iterating the hash in the commit message itself) until the hash of the child commit matches. A big part of the trick is that it only looks at a prefix of the hash, so the search space is much smaller than the full SHA1 hash.

> ...if transfers worked exactly as handing someone some gold does...

I have never bought gold, other than in jewelry, I suppose, so I could be wrong about this. As I understand it, transferring gold is actually quite difficult, unless you trust the person. Don't you need to weigh it and test it for purity? Bitcoin transactions over long distance are enormously easier than a gold transaction over long distance, I would imagine, too.

That's correct, but this shouldn't be understated. Bitcoin provides the ability to be sure that a transaction is legitimate when you're on the receiving end, and that the it can't be canceled later. This can be done without knowing anything about the person on the sending end, much less require a level of trust based on the sender's reputation.

Exactly what I was thinking about as a I read the essay! I was disappointed when instead of being about how incredible it is that the cosmos can produce a pencil, it was about claiming that the cosmos can do it "without the government."

Yep, accounts are back for me. Glad I didn't actually need any of those other accounts for the few days that I didn't have access...
