The only remaining isolated groups of hominids are tribes deep in the Amazon, and on a few remote islands. We know about every one of them, yet, these giant apes can roam the woods, just outside of town, and they've never been scientifically documented. Who always finds them? Profiteers and mystics. Hrmmm.

Point-by-point responses "in-line" is just just the type of engagement I'd expect from a "business" type.

It's a style of small-minded nit-picking that shows a desire to defeat a conflicting point of view at all cost, by pulling at threads, without really engaging in the debate at hand.

It is quite a lot of effort to reassemble any relevant points and so to respond in less disrespectful fashion.

I won't be doing that, but I will respond on your single position that the parent post has "no evidence" for their postulation, and that it's "just wishful thinking". TFA was entirely in such a vein (a fanciful pipe dream), and your arguments in support are but notional, based on a wished for outcome that would suit yourself.
Since it is based on the same basic principles but in a much superior fashion, I, and everyone using Bitcoin-based timestamps, am comfortable in believing there's a excellent chance the courts will not be unaccountably incompetent and reject them

I wish I shared your optimism, but as of now, I'd take tested in court over untested in court in most cases.

That is not an answer I'm allowed to give now. (And in any case, you have shown yourself sufficiently unpleasant and arrogant I wouldn't answer it anyway.)

I'm sorry I came out that way, I was just very surprised you didn't even talk of the technology behind what amount to the vast majority of cryptographic timestamping activity (e.g. bills, contract are routinely cryptographically timestamped in Europe).

> In this article, and apparently this happens a lot, jurors are not allowed to research the laws they are supposed to reach a verdict on

The judge includes the law the defendant is charged with violating and an explanation of what must be proved and what legal defenses that are (with advice from both the prosecution and defense on what to include and on the wording) in the jury instruction material given to the jury before deliberation. Unless the judge and the defense attorney seriously screw up, that should give the jury everything they need to know about the relevant laws.

I am an American high school senior and can say confidently that most American students are screwed over pretty extensively when it comes to the software they are forced to use.

I have several classes that require the use of proprietary software such as Google classroom, Microsoft silver light, and Adobe flash. On top of that I cannot even remember the last time I was given a document that wasn't a .docx.

It would be one thing if these tools were optional, but they are strictly required and students' grades do suffer if they choose to opt out of using them. In previous years I simply followed along in my windows VM, but after getting accepted to the university of my choice I've had enough. I have alerted all of my teachers I will not be using Google classroom, or complete any assignment that requires the use of flash, silver light, or any other proprietary software. Has my grade suffered? Sure, but now that I am securely in the school of my choice I could not care less.
Just an FYI but the Japanese take their privacy far more serious than many in the west are used to

Examples:

Check Japanese Facebook accounts. 99% of them have no pictures of themselves nor is their profile pic a picture of themselves

Japanese don't use selfie sticks to take pictures to brag. They use them to not have to ask a stranger to take their picture. See paragraph above

In Japanese law it is illegal to take pictures of people in public without their permission. Not enforced for crowds but it is the law

Trade shows booths will often have "no pictures" signs which are respected in Japan and would be ignored I most western countries

Nearly all hotels in Japan have porn but you can pay for it by using a cash based vending machine in the hallway. It gives you a card with a code you type into the tv. It therefore doesn't show up on your credit card or hotel receipt

You have always been able to buy almost anything on the Internet with cash in Japan. You order and choose to pay with one of the many 3rd party payment systems. You're given a code. You go to the nearest convenience store and use a machine there to print out a barcode page (or print it yourself). You hand it to the clerk who scans it and takes your money. The item is now paid for. The merchant knows what you ordered but the payment company has no info on you.

Japan was the only country to get in a tizzy over google street view issues.

I bring all those up just to point out that the Japanese have a vastly different attitude toward privacy

British illusionist Derren Brown made a documentary about this, called "The System", where he wrote letters to people predicting the outcome of horse races using his secret system, and suggesting they place a bet.

He sent different predictions to different people, some saw his predictions come true, and he sent more letters to all those people. And then repeated that, eventually narrowing it down to one person, who saw week after week correct gambling predictions, and really believed he had a system for winning.

She borrowed family money to bet big - then he revealed that she was the result of survivor bias and he had no system.

Okay, so now I'd like someone honest to read this whole thread and tell me with a straight face that Hacker News is "full of libertarians", as I read here from time to time.

I mean, there's someone here who doesn't understand why some people try to lower their tax bill by "taking from the government's pocket", and it goes completely unnoticed.

I can't be the only one to find this hilarious?

As a sometime Apple developer I do welcome this. Hopefully it will legitimise some of the grey (non-official) toolchains and support the development of tools and community that much of the rest of the software development world enjoys, and people won't be tied solely to Apple's own dev tools.

Does anybody else think it's a little strange though? To have open source tools solely to target a closed platform? I haven't used Swift myself but from what I've seen it seems to be something like Javascript with libraries for iOS, perhaps with a few semantic adjustments. Would that be a fair assessment?

I can't imagine it being used for much else beyond developing for iOS devices. Perhaps Macs. So while it's free as in "beer", but could it truly be said to be free as in "speech" in any substantial fashion?
Go works pretty well for that :)

People who have no idea how to add certs are also unlikely to know how to login to their web server using SSH or how to install a package.

For people who can SSH and install packages, I think they are better served being shown how to add couple lines to make SSL work than some magic that could screw up their web server config. After all, these people chose to learn how to login to the web server instead of just managing their site from a CMS. They would probably like to learn how to configure something like SSL.

What is "this" you speak of that is not worthy of research? Consciousness, feelings, qualia?

It sure does not feel like a solved problem.

You do not consider there is such a thing as "hard problem"?

Sure, one can subscribe to the view that qualia is just this accident of evolution in a purely physical world, an emergent behavior of a bunch of neurons firing in unison if you will.

Even then it seems there is a lot of room for debate.

I(ha!) thought(double ha!) the article was quite good at showing the various viewpoints and progress through time(triple ha!).

Best line of the article:

So this hit and run was just the result of fleeing from a different hit and run.

> This type of civil trial only required a 9/12 majority and the other jurors really only saw this as a chance to stick it to the company. "Of course this man should be repaid for the damage done to him!" Any sort of nuance like, "okay sure but should this company be the one to pay it?" was totally lost. He's hurt, so somebody should pay up. That was it. That was their justice. The jury instructions like the actual claims to damages were totally ignored.

Most "justice systems" on Earth are really just thinly-veiled vengeance systems, unfortunately.

I wouldn't characterize a collegial inspection of key security/durability features a website should employ as mean-spirited.

Considering that there's some low-hanging fruit still to be plucked, it's better for someone to point them out, and demonstrate the necessity to close these easily-leveraged gaps quickly, rather than to leave them open for someone much less scrupulous to misuse.

In my opinnion the flaw in your question is that 'all' conspiracy theories are wacky or can be made wacky by the believers. At that point all you can do is weight the evidence for and against and come to your own conclusion, but at the end of the day the conspiracy theorists have the burden of proof.
I don't see why the junior qualifier would be relevant. A great coder is a great coder. Always try and learn new stuff, be humble, be analytical, help people around you, don't talk shit and so on. If you are worried about how to fit in in your workplace, then that is a different question.
Before asking questions about the codebase, try to find the answer yourself by reading code and tracing its execution. Don't be afraid to fix problems anywhere you find them. This can be a good opportunity to learn how the system as a whole works.

Participating in code review is great: if they're OK with it, try reviewing senior teammates' commits as well. You can learn a lot by questioning why particular decisions were made, and you might even uncover a bug or two.
> It should also ideally be a /renewal/ of the old one, and not an entirely new private key generated each time as well

sure? A new key provides quite a bit of security benefits because even when the key got loose without you noticing, three months later, it won't be usable any more when the new cert is made for a new key.
Yes it should not be getting the attention it is getting right now, but we can approach this in a more generous fashion. Let's help rather than ridicule.

As a non American, the USA justice system honestly sounds like the worst possible system for justice imaginable. I don't think I could design a worse system if I tried. Do you all just keep the system because it keeps so many people employed following the pointless bureaucracy of it all?

The people making the decisions have no training in law at all, yet they have to decide if the law was broken. They get a brief spoken explanation of the law, but only after they have been given the testimony. Why would you not have someone trained in the law decide if the law was broken? Why would you not allow the jury to interrogate the witnesses when they must bear the responsibility of the decision? The idea seems to be that random people off the street will somehow be more willing to consider all angles and if they disagree, you get another random sampling and try again. Try enough times and eventually you'll get a bunch of people who are annoyed enough by being forced into jury duty to just agree so they can go home. Real justice right there.

You might say that the jury system allows for a justice even if the judge is compromised. But obviously it doesn't - the judge controls what information can be fed to the jury and the jury must make the decision based off that evidence. If the judge is biased, the jury will be forced into a particular decision anyway. Why not just have the judge do their job and have an appeals system and punishments on the judge for bad decisions? And yes, that system works fine. See the current Oscar Pistorius trial for a working system (imo).

Looks like it's way more open source than the two "open source" school MIS systems I looked at, one had no code available, the other an old version dumped on github, but not linked from their main page until you signed up.
It can also happen on UIs:

Imagine you subscribe to lots of realtime data sources (e.g. via websocket), that deliver lots of updates to your UI. Then you have a race condition whether you can draw the updates faster than you receive them.

In an eventloop environment like Javascript it could be self-regulating (http/ws stack wouldn't receive new frames until you return from drawing. But it might also be not (because a C++ background thread in your browser receives the messages and queues them until they can be pushed to JS) - then you might get out of memory. But I totally agree that it's an exception for UIs to deal with such scenarios, but it should be normal an a server.

> If you can't extract enough value from society so that you can spare a few tens of thousands of dollars to cure yourself

Fixed. I also generally feel casual disregard towards human life and suffering as long as the human in question is not me, but lets call things with their real names.

With a price of drug per year being twice the average income in the richest country in the world - that creates impossible situation by definition for half of its populace.

Also value provided is not always correlated with value extracted - a janitor for a modest fee keeps my house clean. A hedge fund manager ruins the global economy just when I must enter my prime growing years in earnings and make sure I am at a disadvantage at both the cohort before and after me.

Which of those two lives is more valuable to me?

Maybe it is just me, but iPhone in 2007 was revolutionary and mind-blowing. You had grown men crying and falling off their seats during the keynote. Before native apps, before GPS, before 3G—the iPhone blew people's socks and changed the world. The critics and skeptics were quickly silenced in 2007. People broke contracts and paid extra fees! People switched carriers and put up with bad voice quality and dropped calls to continue owning one. Millions put up with a slow buggy phone. People didn't have buyers remorse and return it en masse—they bought a new one each year! Year after year you had long lines at stores on launch day.

Does anyone else not remember this?!

From comments online, I find it really hard to believe that the world has collectively forgotten that. Did I live in a bubble, or is everyone else's memory of 2007 just way off? From what I remembered, it was outright mass hysteria.

The watch, OTOH, just doesn't excite people the same way. Critics and skeptics have not been silenced. It doesn't even excite their owners the same way. People are buying and returning the watches. Owners are defensive when talking about the watch, instead of the cult-like adoration and mass hysteria that followed the original iPhone.
While this is great for personal purposes, the article is discussing Schools/Google Apps for Education (GAFE). Chromebooks are nifty for the low price they offer and the relatively low maintenance needed on them, but this solution for privacy on them simply doesn't scale once you get above a few machines due to the fact that you can't just stick a live disk in and install, you have to go through a few hoops on the Chromebooks/Chrome Machines I'm familiar with.

GAFE is really convenient in a lot of ways; the EFF is absolutely right to complain though that there are a lot of privacy issues baked into the whole thing by virtue of it being Google Services.

Outside of data collection, the issue is that GAFE admins are still at the mercy of Google changes. We may get advanced notices from Google about changes and certainly some are optional, but things like G+ integration, Photos, and so on are completely outside of our control.

My last workplace used GAFE for the University, and we had a lot of very basic privacy things that popped up as a result of GAFE and new gmail features pushed out. Our few privacy minded users (mostly older professors) would get really upset over how much data got sync'd between LDAP and G+ without our admin realizing it, students who had legitimate privacy concerns (harassment cases) were frustrated with the same issue, and so on.

I'd like to believe Google could just ease up the data collection from schools and businesses - it can't be that great compared to the public at large, and it would make GAFE absolutely perfect for schools. (Seriously, privacy aside, GAFE is otherwise perfect for a University set up. Unlimited space, great for student collaboration, and honestly many universities could do away with Office subscriptions at this point since the Google Office Suite is close enough for all intents and purposes.)
