I figured I'd get that response. How about this, what are you trying to be so "private" over? Is it legal or moral? Is it perhaps that web browsing and privacy are simply always going to be mutually exclusive, akin to walking out in public?

I am sure everyone that went to ashleymadison.com used proxies, wiped their history, and used HTTPS. But HTTPS didn't really help all that much did it? And how many of your "private" websites that you use are vulnerable to the same?

How do you know some sysadmin at Google isn't right now reading your gmail emails sitting on a backed up filesystem somewhere?

I am trying to do something right here, protect my family and myself. Oh and make my internet faster. But because of a huge push of people that need to do (mostly) wrong, I can no longer do what is right. Yes I am aware that some privacy is probably good. Passwords shouldn't be clear text or CC numbers. But SSL for map images and random text from a news site? Just not seeing the point.

I'd say Scotland was an example of things getting more laid back in that some Scots wanted independence and the British Government kind of said whatever, have a vote. Compare that to say Erdogan or Putin freaking out if the Kurds/Ukrainians want to do their own thing.

> Advertisers aren't likely to pay much to reach the people who are, almost by definition, either too cheap to buy a pass or not invested enough in the site to care

Are you speaking from experience and/or data, or based on logical reasoning? I'm honestly curious, so I hope this doesn't come across as a digital call-out of some kind.

To elaborate, I feel like a lot of people don't pay for news, or written content, because they expect (and can get it) for free. That doesn't mean they're not good potential widget customers.

I'm curious as to what kind of inferences advertisers make / have made about users based on their specific spending patterns. For example, while I'm sure that generally speaking someone who pays for service X may be more likely than average to pay for service Y, I would also expect that variance to grow or shrink a lot depending on the specific circumstances.
Most people also don't have their wallet in their hands when they are walking around. This usability and natural action argument is sort of moot and non impactful to this a discussion. If I really wanted to keep arguing, I would say that people waiting in line to pay are probably browsing their phone while waiting, so the transition to paying is not cumbersome. It's still a terrible argument for Walmart Pay. But, not as bad as saying that folks won't use Walmart Pay because the buggy is occupying their hands.

The probability of finding most things that are cheaper elsewhere than Walmart is extremely small. Their margins and their entire business model depends on that. So your anecdotes of people finding something cheaper is not material.

And finally the good 'ole "solution looking for the problem." It seems it is more and more the default "I-cant-extrapolate-but-this-sounds-clever."
It is rational for Sulzberger to call for more gun control, and to be the only one with a gun. After all, it makes him safer.

<insert major American city>'s economic elite are fearful because there are crazies that often have bones to pick with people that are high profile. By the nature of that profile, there's some nutjob that's likely sent them a few death threats. The more people other than their elite friends they can disarm, the safer it makes them. The greater the income inequality divide becomes, the worse it will probably get.

Except those 5 officers had no need to arrest Eric Garner. They could have issued a citation and left. Discretionary arrests are a police officer's method of punishing someone in advance of that pesky finding of guilt (or not) -- now that person has an arrest on their record, may have to spend a night in jail prior to receiving a bail hearing, may be stuck in jail until trial or a plea arrangement if they can't afford bail, etc.

The meaning of nationalism (and tribalism) is not clearly defined, at least not in this thread. I thought about that as I wrote my comment, but I decided I couldn't cover every contingency ...

Without disputing the definitions, I agree with some aspects of what you say, but I disagree about that there is some inevitable bad ending. Generally, as the U.S. shows, it turns out well.

The U.S. is filled with the descendents of immigrants who think of each other as 'Americans'. Today's nativists are the descendents of immigrants that suffered the same discrimination. A few examples: Ben Franklin (and his peers, AFIAK) openly disparaged German immigrants, Italian and Irish immigrants used to riot against each other ... generations later, does anyone care? I read a study that said by the third generation, 3% of immigrants spoke the language of their former country and 80% married outside their group (I might misremember the stats to a degree).

> The pendulum always swings back toward tribalism because genetics is a powerful force.

I don't think it's tied to genetics. People are tribalistic about all sorts of groups that aren't genetically related to each other, and over time the groupings change. I believe genetic studies show enormous diversity within groups.

Economic stagnation for whom? Correct me if I'm wrong, but the majority of younger Japanese seem to hate Abenomics and his ultranationalist policies.

The majority of the jobs and wealth in Japan is concentrated in its fast aging populace. From what I can tell, it is these interests that are pushing for a return to Japanese ultranationalism, not the people affected the most by Japan's stagnant economy.

Good point, though I think that's for economic reasons and not for nationalistic reasons. Unions in the U.S., for example, long supported (and organized) immigrant workers who already were in the country and were early supporters of civil rights for blacks.

The point is that there's nothing structurally preventing you from selling data later. Unfortunately that's not a great reassurance, as much as one may want to believe in the project.

Let me clarify then: I am not in favor of a brutal approach to policing, but I am in favor of positive action. If it is 3 AM and residents have complained and there is a very loud scene outside, that is what the British call "anti-social behaviour." There should be consequences for that--not violence certainly, but perhaps a fine, and for repeat offenders, a free trip to the precinct to wait until they are sober.

The person I replied to praised the bobbies for letting them move their party elsewhere. It's entirely possible they went on to disrupt citizens in another part of town. The way London policing works, this sort of thing can go on all night--an "anti-social behaviour crawl." It isn't fair to the people who actually live there.
It's embarrassing that this controversy has been going on for a while and there's still no published hard data on whether this micro-sample thing works. Theranos needs to try some tests given widely, such as blood glucose or cholesterol, and compare results with the standard tests. Those can be tested on a general population.

If this works, it needs to be combined with Google's micro-gun and vacuum needle-less blood sampler. Or maybe Google/Alphabet will come up with more micro-sample techniques that work better than Theranos'.
Both, and the mixture is especially toxic.

My thought as well. Milk, cheese, and eggs are unfashionable at the moment, for whatever reason; but that doesn't make them less valuable or desirable.

Is animal welfare the reason for dairy goods being out of fashion? I doubt it; it's easy to come by humane milk and eggs, although humane cheese, butter, kefir, yogurt, etc. are less common. And yet, vegans are the new vegetarians -- even the Jains are going vegan -- while we also get the paleo diet with its own reasons for being anti-dairy...

There's also hostility to bread. Bread and milk are historic European staples; a part of me suspects that hostility to these (at least in white Americans) is really about hostility to the past.
The JS/React ecosystem is moving rapidly right now. I got caught in the middle of a storm when I updated my toolchain from Backbone/Sprockets to React/Redux/Webpack. There was Flux, then a bunch of Flux implementations, then Redux took the crown - a library which didn't exist a few months back. But as Redux has taken the crown, Relay has emerged along with it's own alternatives such as Falcor. Then there is Angular 2 on the horizon. Back in the day it was Knockout vs. Backbone which made things a lot simpler.

There is a proliferation of [boilerplate projects](https://github.com/xgrommx/awesome-redux#boilerplate) out there at the moment but they are quite heavy and all do things a little differently.

I think what is lacking and will emerge eventually is some glue to fill the gaps that everyone is identifying. I think it will be a few small core libraries with some conventions about project structure, toolchain, and modularity.

This is great, but I wonder if without a pay raise if they will be able to fill the ranks.

Cynical me thinks maybe a large number of current cops would do the job for even less, so long as they were allowed to carry a gun and a stick and order people around and maybe even get to shoot them.

So with that approach we get a less expensive police force that is fairly effective (for the privileged class) as it ruthlessly beats and suppresses the unprivileged class. Win-win for the privileged class. Keeping the thugs down at bargain prices.

So now policing gets more expensive? Many cities are strapped for cash at the moment. (Heaven forbid we consider cutting unneeded bureaucrats to pay for better police officers). So higher taxes it is? I'm certainly ok with paying for quality. That is... if I actually get it.

> Right now, if North Korea launched a missile

This doesn't detract from your general point, but I was curious to see if this particular thing was true.

If you use the "measure distance" tool on Google Maps you can see that even if North Korea launched an ICBM from the southernmost part of their eastern coast to the southernmost part of California it would only intersect Japanese territory by a few miles, at the point of Rebun Island northwest of Hokkaido, something they could trivially avoid. They'd have a much bigger practical problem with having to fly it over Russia than Japan.

In order for its course to go anywhere near Tokyo they'd have to be aiming said ICBM somewhere midway around Argentina, around a thousand miles south of Buenos Aires or so.

He's not advocating that we un-invent the math that underpins crypto, so there is no way to prevent all crypto.

I interpret his words to talk specifically about people who choose not to add their own crypto layer on top of the OS / provider product layer. "opt-in" could mean the provider makes it available to the user, or (IMHO more likely) it could mean the average Joe that is unfamiliar with setting up a secure communication channel on their smart phone would not likely go through the hoops of learning to do just that.

TL;DR: Basically describing an off the shelf, Stringray

OpenBTS is basically an opensource cell phone tower software stack.
You phone supports older protocols for backwards compatibility as you roam. You can instruct your tower to broadcast on an older protocol, like 2G. 2G has this hilarious design flaw that the tower tells the cellphone which tower has the strongest signal. So you claim that you have super amazing signal. 2G's cryptography is broken wide open, worse then DES. So this little cell tower running on a laptop and a digital radio system has just MITM'd your phone (and everyone else) who's network it is impersonating.

I expect/assume this is the general design (which hopefully significant refinement) of most Stringray devices.

> People are still sore about that.

Vladimir Putin's whole foreign policy relates to these events... It's the reason he intervened in Georgia (remember that?), Ukraine, and now Syria.
The old ways of controlling people are going to need an update. Once upon a time violence was a sufficient tool to inhibit or dissuade criminal activity. The new paradigm is that you cannot use violence and your knowledge of criminal activity to dissuade actions, instead one must remove the desire to perform them in the first place.

IMO this looks like:
- Stop bombing/attacking/interfering in Islamic nations.
- End the most grievous forms of poverty world (such as lack of opportunity) such that increasing numbers of people have nothing or little to gain by being criminal
- Stop utilizing violence as a protected means, only allowed by some (ie the government). By universally outlawing violence, it becomes morally clear that no amount is valid.
Thanks, I'm wondering how to calculate the distribution of sample variances. Yes, each variance is calculated from the list of 100 counts of #tails. It's just something that has bothered me for awhile.

Thanks; that's a great counter-example. I wonder how the politics works - what draws liberals to support it? Is it the usual xenophobia, or something else?

Incidentally: At the time of the referendum, I watched a debate between leading advocates on both sides. A major priority for both sides was to emphasize how national health care, referred to as a treasured institution, would be preserved if their side won. Apparantly everyone in Scotland loves it.

It depends alot on you. People that assert their rights, particularly their right to remain silent, often find themselves confronted with a power-tripping neanderthal armed with a loaded weapon and arrest powers. If you simply cooperate with them - answer questions etc. - you will likely have more pleasant interactions with them, however you dramatically increase your chances of having legal issues because of whatever you say or do not say to them.

This video [1], of course, should always be mentioned when discussing police interaction. In short, don't ever talk to the police. US Police are trained to make exercising the myriad rights we have both uncomfortable and counterintuitive. But you have to remember that by the time you are in front of a police officer, it's too late to talk your way out of whatever situation you are in. You can only make it worse by talking to them.

I don't remember George W. Bush being given credit for anything by Democrats. The "Republicans are obstructionists" argument is just so silly.

The argument against Obama is that he was eager to empty Gitmo of the most dangerous prisoners -- the ones that other nations wouldn't take, and who therefore hurt his chances of closing the base -- and he thought that this would be a win-win: get a soldier home, get rid of five top Taliban commanders, who could complain?

In order to make it work, he had a press conference in the Rose Garden where he acted like Bergdahl was a hero, and then he sent Susan Rice to Sunday morning talk shows where she said he "served with honor and distinction." This is a lie; he was hoping people would move on.

Those of us in the Army had been following the story earlier, and we knew that it was very probable he was a deserter. That story eventually came out as military prosecutors didn't just sweep it all under the rug.

Now the argument has become "well, we don't care what he did, we'll move heaven and earth to get a soldier home." Should he be guilty of desertion, I think that's an unprecedented and indefensible decision.

Veterans find it infuriating that Susan Rice would use the term "honor and distinction" and then qualify it later along with the idea that all soldiers have honor and are distinguished. Here's why: it's basically saying that you don't really care what soldiers actually do, you only care about the appearance of supporting them.

In that sense, it was the Obama administration who propped up a soldier "no matter what," which is what you accuse Republicans of doing with your disgusting "one of the troops they so fervently idolize" remark. Some people aren't so cynical with their support of the troops, but I don't expect you to understand.
This seems completely backwards to me. IMO, the way to go is focus on allowing yourself to do things, not forcing things through. Active willpower and use of "mental toughness" helps much less than you think it does. Trying as hard as you can at, say, riding a bike quickly isn't that much more effective, and burns up much more long-term resources.

Like, how I'd reframe the advice is to pull the "replace trying with awareness" trick from The Inner Game of Tennis. Take stock of what it feels like to do the "last" pull-up that you can, and then feel what it's like to do another afterwards.
