Isn't the spirit of the amendment that everyone should have a good defense? The spirit of the amendment, to me, doesn't really seem to be "you can have as good a defense as you can afford", but more like, "you have the right to a good defense", period. Put differently, if a public defender isn't good enough to satisfy the spirit of the 6th amendment when someone who has money is on trial, then it should also not be good enough for the spirit of the 6th amendment when someone who doesn't have money is on trial.

I could possibly see the spirit of the amendment better served if everyone were defended via the same public-defender system, regardless of income level. That would provide equal access to justice, and also provide middle-class and wealthy people an incentive to make sure it's actually properly funded, since it's the system that would defend them, not only poor people. I'm not sure if that's a better or worse interpretation of the letter of the constitution, though.
Only time I've had to wire money was for the downpayment on a house. Apparently there's a limit to how much you can send over ACH (at least with some banks).
Everyday DSP for Programmers: FIR Filters
Maybe the public defender system may benefit, because when even wealthy or middle-class defendants can't pay for their lawyers, more lawyers are forced to either become public defenders or work on similar arguments, making financial means of defendants less of a factor in choosing their clients.
> "the rich don't pay taxes because of their fancy lawyers and accountants" generally turns out to be false.

So why does Buffett keep on saying that he pays low taxes compared to his secretary?
Gates is the son of a wealthy corporate lawyer. He went to one of the only high schools in the US that allowed their students computer access at the time. If you consider his wealth "self-made", I'd like to know what you define as self-made. Bill Gates, Dreyfus, Hilton only prove rich parents can produce even richer kids. Buffet's father was a congressman, not exactly the definition of wealthy (although these days it is), but definitely enfranchised.
It doesn't say anywhere that a public defender has to be effective.
This has been posted before iirc.
Seeing as you listed Game Maker there, I would throw in a recommendation for Construct 2 by Scirra: https://scirra.com

They have an excellent 2D HTML5 game engine and a very nice IDE to go with it. The event programming system they use is at least powerful as Game Maker's GML (if not more so) and you can also write your own plugins with JavaScript. Out of three mentioned programs, C2 is definitely my favorite for a couple reasons:

- It's built from ground up with 2D development in mind. Unity in comparison is primarily for 3D development, and while its 2D tools have improved over the years the difference is still really obvious.

- The overall user interface design of C2 is actually from this decade and makes good use of big screens of today. In comparison, you can still very much see the relatively ancient roots in Game Maker's UI when programs were designed with 640x480 screens in mind, not to mention how tons of features added over the years have just been slapped haphazardly into wherever there was room in the UI at the time. Game Maker's drag & drop coding is also just terrible, it's really either GML or go home with it.

- Pricing. You don't have to pay any extra for additional exporters or such with C2. Of course, there is the caveat of having to pay extra attention to mobile performance with C2 games being HTML5-powered on everything it exports to, but on actual computers you can cover the Windows/OSX/Linux combo very nicely.

Now, I mostly do game development as a hobby (which I've been doing on and off ever since I was ~9 years old), but if I wanted to do a commercial 2D indie game project for release on Steam (or similar) today, I'd definitely use Construct 2 for it. If I wanted to do same except for mobile, I'd probably evaluate C2 for it too (simply because I like it so much), but I might end up using something like Unity instead if performance proved to be too much of a headache with C2.
That's another possibility, the comment above can be interpreted either way.

In any case they were probably running something like squid with very basic level 7 filtering, so if something comes on 443 they have no option but to forward it.

The Guardian did a piece on this last year including a video of part of the ceremony: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/feb/28/seven-peop...
"Prison and jail communications is a $1.2 billion a year business, whose handsome profits come from serving a captive and inelastic market."

Securus is used by more than 1.2 million inmates and make $404 million in revenue, equating to an average of $336 per inmate per year, or $28 per month. This for a service that's far more limited than equivalent cheap prepaid mobile plans you'd be able to get.

Other than just being amazed at the potential violations of attorney-client privilege, I'm stunned that they're allowed to price gouge a literally captive market, and then offer kickbacks to those helping them keep their monopoly.

Given telecommunications can be lifelines to normality and returning to society a well adjusted and prepared individual, it's tragic. Remember, many people in prison in the US are there for non-violent offenses.

Why the Tor attack matters
If the market rate for your apartment is double what you're paying (the landlord wouldn't double your rent if they couldn't get anyone to take it), you're trapped in that apartment: You presumably can't get any other place, because they're all double the price you pay.

Thus the landlord has no motivation to keep you there, and your landlord can screw you over in any number of ways without worrying about losing tenants -- because that's good for them!

I used to think rent control was good, but the more I think about it, I worry about trapped tenants who can't get out of their situation financially.

Thus I believe we need to worry about controlling the other factors in housing pricing, so that people can afford market rate, which surely includes making enough supply available at all rates: Luxury condos through to places minimum wage workers can afford.

* You mean like Visual Basic? Or like the musical instrument Reaktor? Or UML based java code generators? There are many other examples, just not on the top of my head.

* I don't think you grok quite how intricate software has to be, in order to work and be performant. Unavoidable overhead builds as you climb up the abstraction levels, and make your code more general purpose. There's a reason that C is still pretty much everywhere - it's as close to the metal as you can get, without being entirely unhuman friendly: in other words, the diametric opposite of what you are suggesting. That's not to suggest that another abstraction layer isn't welcome necessarily, but that it's alway going to be a compromise between ease of use and performance.

* By suggesting this could be a general purpose solution, with modules to export to different platforms, you have missed the fact that we have to hand write code to work in different browsers, let alone on different platforms.

Still if you can make a reasonable demo, sure, it would be paradigm shifting - because you will have found a way around the above, where others have not.
A very valid point and an equally troubling problem with modern society. Worrying about things like shelter and putting food on the table should be a non-issue in the 21st century, instead it is a modern epidemic and must be fixed.

however, the person is considered innocent until proven guilty, therefore those assets shouldn't be seized until such proof.
Generally against asset forfeiture, but if they're going to do it, maybe using it only to fund public defenders for all would balance out the incentive for the government to seize the money in the first place.

That's a separate argument for a more robust and effective public defender's office. This is arguing that there's a right to obtain a counsel of choice, which is an argument that the justices said they have already rejected in oral argument [1].

Finite state machines as data structure for representing ordered sets and maps
Anyone paying attention has been aware of this since last fall. It's common knowledge that CMU/SEI works for the US military. And the timing was a total giveaway. They pulled the Black Hat talk, and SR2 etc went down not long thereafter. But it's not surprising that CMU/SEI would do this. Legal niceties aside, it's arguably part of their mission.

The focus here, in my opinion, ought to be on the Tor Project's role in this. Although they did speak up last summer, and have blogged this update, I'm not impressed. They ignored the CMU attack for five months last spring. Maybe they did get blindsided by a new kind of attack. Maybe they just weren't paying enough attention. Or maybe, as they've noted, there aren't many devs who focus on onion services.

But so far there's been no mea culpa from the Tor Project. It's disingenuous to whinge about unethical researchers and investigators. It's stuff like this that fuels conspiracy theories about Tor and the US military. The Tor Project needs to take a stand.

> If you live in a world where unencrypted HTTP still exists then it's nice to have some defense against ISPs who like to lie in DNS responses.

As tptacek and others have pointed out numerous times elsewhere on HN (and in the article linked above):

1. DNSSEC doesn't protect against ISPs hijacking DNS responses

2. TLS is easier to deploy than DNSSEC

3. TLS provides more security for the end user than DNSSEC does

3a. If TLS us used, DNSSEC provides essentially no additional security benefits to the end user.

So really, it makes sense to be advocating the use of TLS, which is what projects like Let's Encrypt are all about. DNSSEC is at best a waste of resources that could be better spent on actually securing the Internet through TLS, and at worst actively harmful (because the strongest criticism of TLS is that it centralizes trust in CAs, and DNSSEC centralizes trust even further - in a single entity!)

> I'd prefer not to send any packets at all to the wrong IP rather than wait until it presents the wrong certificate.

I'm not sure what difference it makes to be sending packets to the wrong IP. The whole point of TLS is that it doesn't really matter, because they can't read what you're sending anyway.

Also, the way the Internet works, you're always sending packets through the "wrong" IP addresses, so you should make the assumption that your raw traffic is visible to to any eavesdropper (and therefore encrypt your traffic so that this is not an issue).

Golden Corral Proposal
Melbourne's possibly a bad example. Instead of keeping housing prices down Melbourne has some of the highest housing costs in the world. The new apartments are poorly made and often don't even meet building regulations. The lack of social infrastructure such as shops etc. is so bad that it's cited worldwide as an example of how to do it wrong. And half of the apartments are empty, sold to overseas investors who bought them for capital increase and who have left them unoccupied.

Basically it's a complete planning disaster. Let's hope the Mountain View development is better planned than that.
