The #gotofail bug (coincidentally?) went live right when Apple was "added" to #NSA's #PRISM program: http://t.co/9GSX2N0HYj So, uh, yeah. 23:59:28, 2014-02-22

@ericmbudd I think we might be in the same world. The "grownups" don't realize this world exists. Nevermind the non-monogamy & dumpstering. in reply to ericmbudd 20:44:26, 2014-02-21
@sugarmags3 Huh. I'd have thought that would result in some kind of irony-induced spontaneous combustion. in reply to sugarmags3 20:32:56, 2014-02-21
@sugarmags3 yup. in reply to sugarmags3 20:29:59, 2014-02-21

@SpiderOak why do you gobble up all the memory on my headless linux VPS and then die? So sad. So not backed up. 23:49:52, 2014-02-20

@ericmbudd Same developer is also building at old 7-11/Buffalo Exch. site, Affordable project on church property downtown, Boulder Junction. in reply to ericmbudd 17:18:35, 2014-02-20
@ericmbudd Yes. Planning board was apparently in love with the project. in reply to ericmbudd 17:00:17, 2014-02-20
@bruteforceblog basically we want to build Das combi-HAUS you describe here: http://t.co/hdV4uVuZxs 02:53:23, 2014-02-20
Which casts our immanent deep energy retrofit in a slightly different light. Can we prepare for cutting the pipe? 02:34:40, 2014-02-20
The pipes will come out like the ancient phone lines and derelict ethernet cables we pulled down off the house last year. 02:32:05, 2014-02-20
If this house lasts another 110yrs, it will have seen both introduction & final disconnection of natural gas. If we succeed with climate. 02:30:29, 2014-02-20
@bruteforceblog thanks! in reply to bruteforceblog 02:24:32, 2014-02-20

@bruteforceblog Well the developer would probably be us 🙂 in reply to bruteforceblog 02:23:17, 2014-02-20
@bruteforceblog I'm thinking something that could be shared with/digested for housing authority board, city council. in reply to bruteforceblog 02:21:56, 2014-02-20
@bruteforceblog know any good general resources talking about how best to do that? Especially affordable + durable + low-energy. in reply to bruteforceblog 02:07:59, 2014-02-20
That time when your smartphone is just old enough you start thinking about rooting it, since it won't get further official software updates. 01:52:11, 2014-02-20

@smakelainen @sydnets @kencaldeira re-processing means waste is ultimately fission products, which last ~10^2, not ~10^4 years (Unlike Pu/U) in reply to smakelainen 17:06:50, 2014-02-19
@johndpmorgan @kencaldeira @sydnets For sure, CO2 is awful – gigantic in both space and time. in reply to JohnDPMorgan 17:02:14, 2014-02-19

@kencaldeira @sydnets renewables are space intensive at scale but nuclear (w/o reprocessing) has vast temporal footprint. Interesting trade. in reply to KenCaldeira 23:57:32, 2014-02-18

@ericmbudd about 3.5 yrs of van+basement+cash rental vs. 3 yrs in the co-op now. in reply to ericmbudd 23:29:09, 2014-02-17
My co-op is the only legal Boulder housing I've had. I slept in a van, an illegal basement in an over-occupied house & an unlicensed rental. 23:20:20, 2014-02-17

@ericmbudd Are the admin fees like a fixed $ amount per fund per year? It's easy to look up the ERs on Morningstar with the name/symbol. in reply to ericmbudd 12:43:13, 2014-02-16

@ericmbudd I'm happy to sit down and wade through it if you want. Morningstar is the go-to place for looking up fees/portfolios, etc. in reply to ericmbudd 12:40:24, 2014-02-16
@ericmbudd Should I post a link to my 36 thing in the anti-P3 meetup group? Or is that asking for trouble? 12:34:49, 2014-02-16
@ericmbudd If you're lucky, there will be a couple of their Spartan index funds, 0.10% ER. in reply to ericmbudd 12:29:27, 2014-02-16
@ericmbudd HR wants easy admin, know zip about investing, get locked into plans by e.g. Fidelity. Employees then have no low ER choices. in reply to ericmbudd 12:26:15, 2014-02-16
@ericmbudd There's also a lot of split incentives between employer retirement plans, their providers, and the (oblivious) employees. in reply to ericmbudd 12:22:23, 2014-02-16
@ericmbudd Yeah, I think the trend will keep going to a point. Institutional money will go passive. Retail investors, not so much. in reply to ericmbudd 12:21:50, 2014-02-16
@ericmbudd Markets that are delusional, schizophrenic, and manic-depressive can also be very unpredictable 🙂 in reply to ericmbudd 12:20:29, 2014-02-16
@ericmbudd Quibble: passive investors just have to believe the market can't be predicted. Efficient markets are one way to be unpredictable. in reply to ericmbudd 12:19:52, 2014-02-16
@ericmbudd It's the same pile of money as the ETF VTI that they mention. in reply to ericmbudd 12:18:18, 2014-02-16
@ericmbudd I'm skeptical that we'll get to zero across the board. People like stories about how they are above average too much. in reply to ericmbudd 12:17:57, 2014-02-16
