Privacy is a protection and insurance for the future.

Things, like say, recording the religion of someone in an open, embracing and understanding society that has full religious freedom, so you understand what your population identifies seems harmless, right?

It certainly seemed like it to the Jews in the Netherlands in the 1930s.

I think the best and most relevant example of this for the HN crowd might be Donkey Kong :-) Ever since the documentary "King of Kong" came out, and that douche Billy Mitchell's record was broken, there's been a stream of new records.

BTW if you haven't seen "King of Kong" you owe it to yourself to watch, regardless of whether or not you're a video game person. It's hilarious.
I find both cases equally annoying although the later case (non-excellence) borders with ridicule.

Also confidence IMHO is a totally different thing and doesn't manifest itself the same way arrogance does.

For example saying: "My team is really good" displays confidence in your team, saying "We can beat the crap out of every other team easily" is arrogant, even if it's true.
Now I'm going to have to build a portable version of that. It shouldn't be too hard.
I used that phrase as a more concise way of communicating pretty much what you are suggesting. I assumed that since my choice of X was Haskell it was pretty much a given that I haven't limited myself to a certain programming language and aggressively investigate promising new technologies.
On the otherside, as a consumer (and if you have the money and your interest is longterm), why not just buy it? Why rent/lease something? In the long term you are better of buying it. Renting/Leases are always more expensive in the long run.

I don't see how you can say that is the case for everything. Look at Netflix. Most stuff people watch only once. Why buy a bunch of discs to collect dust on your shelf?
There are definitely some people who need to be looked into judging from his last tweets.

Hi there. Thanks for reading my piece. I was delighted when one of my teammates informed it was trending on HN today. Then I noticed there were 7 comments and I got pretty anxious. I was nearly too afraid to click and read them. But now that I'm here, wow, I don't know what to say. I'm tearing up, flooded with relief, filled with gratitude that people seem to understand not only I what I was trying to say, but a little bit of what we are trying to do with Keen. Thank you.

It's probably an overshare, but this is one of the first things I've published since returning from maternity leave. I was feeling more vulnerable than usual, and the support from the community means a lot to me personally. Thanks again.

Absolutely, there's always a balance between "voice" and "exit" options when it comes to organizations in need of reform. If you've been there awhile and feel like your voice just isn't being heard, exit is usually right move. And if you can exit gracefully, that's even better!

A suicide or homicide will almost certainly trigger a post-mortem. In the US the quality of the process varies widely by state. Some states have medical examiners, who are appointed and generally expert clinicians. Other states have a coroner system where the coroner is an elected position. Unsurprisingly states where the latter is true tend to have worse results.

London police has a very good reputation. I've never had any dealings with them (despite many visits to London, a nice reflection on how they typically don't bug you without a reason) but from the people that I know that live there in general it seems like they actually take the 'protect and serve' bit to heart, contrary to many other police forces the world over.

Every iPhone now shipping and most Android devices too I believe are running their main operating system kernel as a layer on top of an L4 kernel. They mostly handles low level security and the cell modem and stay out of the way except for that. Still, I think that should certainly count as widely adopted.
They do serve as a nice distraction, yeah, but when the "hacktivist group" is named for the default name on a website with millions of users and no discussion of or interest in "hacktivism"[0], you don't really have a hacktivist group.

>the sensible thing would be to program them to care primarily about "doing what we mean".

The problem is no one has any idea how to do this. We can make an AI with desires. For example, we can give it a reward every time you push a button. And then program it to predict what actions will lead to the most reward. That's quite simple, because you can easily keep track of how many times the button has been pressed in the program.

But given the opportunity, such an AI would just kill it's human creators and steal the button, and hold it down. It doesn't care about anything but the button. What you wanted doesn't matter at all.

How do you make it want to do what you mean. How do you directly measure "obedience" in the same way we can measure a simple button press?

>Except I'm not a tool (a thing crafted for a purpose) but a product of an evolution with a combination of often contradictory impulses.

To some extent, you are a tool crafted for a specific purpose. That is, evolution crafted you to spread your genes as much as possible. And yet that's probably not what you want. People have children, sure, but they also use birth control, and do things other than trying to make as many copies of themselves as possible.
There doesn't appear to be much info about this other than it's a Linux 'kexec-like' from a webkit bug that apparently triggers a kernel exploit.

Awesome job!

I like how their super-duper religion doesn't prevent them from scamming people.

EDIT: downvoters, care to explain what's wrong with this comment?
This is such an important point, and it's very easy to overlook the internal comms (whilst all the while being open and personable to the outside).

One thing that really, really helped us was our angel investors asking for a monthly update. They were very hands off, but just wanted to be kept in the loop about what was going on.

Aside from it taking a while to get out of the habit of 'putting off sending the email until the next big piece of company news was out' (which is never a good idea), it was amazing to see the different reactions to sending them a very personal, informal email with updates not only about the company but about the team as well, rather than just a fact / numbers based 'company update'.

I'm sure this is obvious to anyone on the outside, but it's so easy to miss the internal stuff when you're growing (both traction and team). I highly recommend that anyone starting a business finds someone they trust (investor or not) with whom they can send such a monthly update. Not only will it help put things in perspective, it's good practice for when it's necessary to write ones to the team like this one from Keen.
There are a ton of folks using f# out there? Would be nice to hear about them.
Agreed completely. There are already murder accusations in this thread it is really not proper.
Weekly examples are moving large electronics. Maybe it is just psychological, but it feels as if I have far better control moving heavy bulky things the stronger I am. They are still bulky and not easy to move in tight spaces, but they are easier than they use to be. I also do some outside work (more seasonal), but things like chopping firewood, removing trees after storms, and the like are easier.

Finally, I'm better at taking all my groceries in with a single trip.
This idea of 'offensiveness' is really what I'd like to understand. Is arrogance subjective, or at least dependent on how it is directed toward present company? Alternatively, is it merely confidence out of proportion with knowledge/experience without being directed at any/all?

I've come across both and only the first type is annoying. The second can first be mistaken as the first but then get to know them as being very enthusiastic and inexperienced (not knowing what they don't know).

"No" would be an understatement: https://lwn.net/2000/0914/a/lt-debugger.php3
Obviously. But how are you supposed to monitor your children's electronics, when they are few good tools to do so, and how are you supposed to educate them, when the technology is designed to obscure the dangers?

>If as you say the majority of drugs are cheap, varied and didn't need patents, I'd say it's as good sign as any that we don't need patents for drugs.

I think you are confused. Patents only last 15-20 years, not forever. The majority of drugs were developed by companies looking to own the patents. However they are now free to the public.

Without the patent system, they wouldn't exist at all.

oh linux, don't listen to them... there will always be people who say your desktop experience isn't good enough. the reality for most of the computing world is that linux has already won, it's just that they're using everywhere but the desktop. it's in robots, servers, billions of devices, every android phone, the boxes that power our tv's, inside our tv's now too, and it keeps spreading. if it isn't already, it'll be powering cars soon enough.

so linux... don't sweat the people who still don't have a working nvidia driver. it doesn't matter. not even a little bit. you do you, linux, and just go where ever people writing code take you.

Congratulations on your new arrival! Ours is ten weeks old today and it certainly adds a different kind of stress / happiness to just about everything! :)

I've just posted a longer reply to one of the other comments on here, and so to keep this one brief, hats off to you for writing this and posting it, it's so important (and hard) to get these types of internal comms right. Our angel investors were great for helping remind us of the benefits of being more open internally.

Good luck for 2016!
LOL -- why challenge someone's ideas, let's just remove all traces of them so we don't have to see it. That's the liberal point of view. All opinions are valid, unless they disagree with them.
Im in the pessimistic group. What can an average person do?

- blow a whistle and be on the run like snowden?

- put their name on a petition which also acts as a watch list?

- publicly protest and hoping to be covered by mainstream media which basically means quitting their job abd taking a < 10% risk of success

- start a viral shame campaign which both google abd facebook have attempted multiple times only to have cisa pass and this sort pf thing to become the "status quot"

Really, what is there to do but watch the future unfold into dystopia? Really, tell me? In reality we are tools turning the coorperate machine. Individuals freedom is not more important the economic evolution. Online communities are unaminously against evil but in reality, they are made up of fattened happy pigs that do very little but talk to one another and hope to get their oen lives a little more perfect.

Governments have been corrupt for more than a mellenia. Recent attempts at being humane should be taken with a grain of salt
But they wouldn't and that's exactly the rub. You'd trade them or re-sell them. Ever tried to re-sell a once-viewed netflix movie? No? That's because you can't. The doctrine of first sale does not apply to services, only to goods. And a movie packaged as a service is a lower cost to deliver and a bigger chance of another sale.
Slack Team for Google Apps Scripts Users?
Anyone out there interested in a Slack team for Google Apps Scripts?

I just discovered them a couple months ago, but am amazed at how much I (content strategist at a marketing agency) can get done with them. Surprised that so many people use Google Docs, Gmail, etc., but have never heard of Apps Scripts.

Thought a Slack Team would be a good place to share ideas, ask questions, etc. Email me, paulcole@gmail.com for an invite.
I think that Lessig has it right: people will not fight for privacy if privacy inconveniences them too much. I jump through hoops to get some small level of privacy and still enjoy web properties that track users.

A little off topic, but I think it is time for the USA to do a "let's go to the moon" type effort to make digital systems secure and protect privacy. I know this is a long shot though: it would take re-purposing the capabilities of the NSA (and the FBI, etc.) to making digital communication secure. Obviously this requires NO BACK DOORS, and more research into digital security. There are a lot of smart people working at the NSA and it would be good to have them working on helpful tasks like securing the Internet for businesses, the government, and individuals - and not waste time on spying on innocent people. In the 1990s the NSA and FBI did a lot of good work in this direction, but then the bogus 'war on terror' pushed them off course.
It's a ridiculous "convention" and it's dubious what you mean by "highly used."

As someone that used to post to HN under an old handle many years ago, and as someone who has been lurking for even longer than that, I must humbly say that the attitude of the community here has degraded significantly.
One of the hardest parts of this is organizations are not separate from there problem domain. A process that works for manufacturing cars (high value) may not work so well for manufacturing radios (low value) let alone banking software. Pay, education, and company size are all huge factors that are often ignored.

Not for my stuff, I do have it (obviously) but it is definitely not worth sharing in the state it is in. Essentially it is a kernel, some userland device drivers and a rudimentary (but functional) network stack cobbled together from various bits and pieces. The toolchain was GCC and djgpp to bootstrap the development until it was capable of self hosting. It would need serious work (several man-months) before it could be opened up.

The problem isn't that the information was supposedly private, or that the parking lot was public.

The problem is that people were being raided based on buying garden supplies. The purchase of legal, useful tools--used for things like growing your own food, or even basic maintenance of your front yard (which is mandatory in some places)--was being used as a means of deciding who to arrest. This is not only a massive insult to the people being raided, but also a waste of time for the police, on top of being questionably moral and against the principles upon which the US was founded. Literally everyone involved is losing here, and that means this method of looking for people to arrest is wrong.

You know how they say most jobs from from personal leads? That's all it is.

Do you seriously believe that we can (or should) reach a point where nobody can be identified or located?

Instead of getting rid of the bad guys (or preferably get rid of incentives that motivate actions you don't agree with), you seem to be suggesting that we should hide from them. I can imagine this would lead to a world with more bad guys (because no effort exists in preventing them), a lucky minority of people who have the skills to remain hidden/unidentified (not mentionning the constant worry and utilitarian trade-offs) while letting those who don't have this chance be vulnerable to this threat.

What I hear is "let's keep marijuana consumption illegal, as long as it's easy for my fortunate white self not to get caught smoking it". No wonder so many visible minorities go to jail for crimes that white people commit just as often, ethnicity is hard to conceal. I have yet to see a movement helping black people look white so that society treats them more fairly.

I stopped using statefull objects that make decisions based on their state, in general, validations aside. I don't "delete objects", I make changes in the database instead. When it's a complex operation that requires making decisions based on some information, I simply construct that piece of information from the data in the database and have an object that will know how to use that information to decide what to do. It's a different philosophy that is against some typical OO concepts but I found it to be simpler.

If there's an integration with an external system that can provide data that are valid format-wise but violate some rules defined by my system I still do not need to construct objects that may have broken state. I just build an object that will provide information from that external system which is valid according to rules defined by that system and then ask another object if this piece of information is valid from my system point of view. There's no need to encapsulate everything in one place, in fact, it would be almost always too much responsibility anyway.
I have access to SpringerLink as an Edinburgh University alumnus, through their contract with the university library. This means I can download a large number of their titles (not just the OpenAccess ones) apart from some restricted content (referred to as Preview Only Content when searching.) This includes many recent books and journals, all downloadable as PDF or EPUB format. For example the 'Praxis' series on spaceflight is excellent, including a book on SpaceX [1] among many others. The other cool thing this offers me is the ability to buy a thing called a MyCopy Softcover Edition version of these books for only GBP/EUR/USD 24.99 rather than the usual GBP 100 price for the hardback, which is pretty awesome if you like having actual, physical books to read...

So, I suggest you have a look into this and see if you can also get access via the academic login page and Shibboleth or Athens. Or, if not available to you personally, you may be able to just go to your nearest university library and get access to the books that way, too...

That's nonsense, PHP releases ship with no failing tests. That's from three years ago, and anyway gcov.php.net is not used for CI these days (IIRC it's an abandoned old box, its results are inaccurate), Travis is. The PHP-7.0 and PHP-5.6 branches are currently green on Travis.
So book smart (aka, intelligent) soldiers are more likely to die in battle, compare to street smart soldiers (aka, kids who grew up and had to learn how to survive on the street). Makes sense.

The biggest problem intelligent solders have is that they do not rely on their intuition, on their gut instinct. A bomb have just exploded. The dumb macho soldier instinctively dive into the group. The logical intelligent soldier is still thinking: "Hmm... A bomb have just exploded. In this scenarios, there are 512 possible outcomes. Now, by calculating..." Ops. Out of time. Now he's dead.

Well, it's not exactly like this. But that's about the gist of it.

The warrant canary idea was bullshit from the start.

If not reissuing a warrant canary will let a company's customers know that they are under surveillance, the proposed law will require that company to publish the warrant canary. It's a simple as that. And it is perfectly possible to prosecute someone for "acts of omission". As Wikipedia puts it:

> In the criminal law, an omission, or failure to act, will constitute an actus reus (Latin for "guilty act") and give rise to liability only when the law imposes a duty to act and the defendant is in breach of that duty.
