>> The FBI isn’t asking to access an uncrackable safe. It wants to compromise the boundaries of the self.

No. These are phones, not implants. The FBI wants to crack encryption, not skulls. Anyone who equates access to phones with scifi mind scanning needs perspective. If you find your meat self indistinguishable from your "networked self" then you need to get out of the matrix once and a while. Some of us, I think most of us, still have internal and interpersonal lives that are not shared with our devices.

>> There is no reason to allow corporate access to our minds while vigorously denying state access.

Yes there is. A corporation doesn't have access to weaponized drones (at least not yet;). A corporation doesn't want to kill its customers. It wants them happy and spending. On the other hand, governments often want and do kill. A government does not necessarily want its people happy. Therefore, data in the hands of corporations is a very different scenario than data in the hand of government. They should not be equated.

> you need to build 1 billion housing units. That is going to keep a lot of people very busy for 20+ years.

By all accounts, though, housing is already vastly overbuilt in China. They spent all those labor-hours already fueling the boom, and those "very busy" hands are now idle.

That could be true, but if religion eliminates democracy then that should be reflected when measuring actual democracy.

Similarly, if you want to measure incidence of lung cancer, you measure "# of people with lung cancer" not "A x # of smokers + B x # of people with lung cancer".

Junior developer with almost a decade of experience with several languages and tech stacks both on the desktop and web and I'd be available part-time or something more permanent. Looking for new challenges to improve my skills and make a difference. I've worked at a few startups remotely before so a good team player as well.
There we go! I've been waiting about at least 5 years for someone to write this up. It needs to be carried a little further and the current circumstances will determine what the future holds, but I'm just glad this has been put out.

It will become interesting once the "mind reading" technologies become more accurate though. What happens when you can read someone's mind in passing to, e.g., call their pin that has been established as protected under the Constitution. Look for wire mesh balaclava fashions in the future.
I'm still a little bitter http://opensslrampage.org/ stopped updating, it was always good for a chuckle
Mebbe you might want to put some contact info there?
Even many of the Windows apps that one might use use Qt, for example VLC.
That's a good explanation, especially wrt intelligence being linked to identity. When I was growing up, I was used to being the smartest person in the room, but there was no "thrill of the battle" for me - it just kinda sucked. I grew up able to put that aside, cover it up really well, because nobody likes a know-it-all (like nefitty said in the other comment.) Now that I'm nominally grown, and probably well-adjusted, it's awesome to see people's faces when I break out with brains blazing every once in a while.
I haven't visited the US but having been to London multiple times, it's not THAT multi-cultural (maybe by British standard). It's definitely the most multi-cultural place in the UK, but compared to Australia where I've been to a couple times with my Australian fiance, it was a bit of a let down.
This answer from Kim-Mai Cutler on Quora that I read recently seems pretty spot-on to me. (She's also written about housing in SF.)

They've making an 80/20 decision. Make the service better for the 20% of users that produce 80% of your revenue and price everyone else out. They don't want to be the startup economies dumb email tube. They want to be a high margin service for companies with more marketers or designers than programers.

The report comes from anonymous Chinese government officials and cannot be accepted at face value as fact.

However it is unlikely that China can rebalance from massive overproduction without massive layoffs. The quoted government official, Yin Weimin put the number closer to 1-2 million.
Wikipedia:

>On some platforms (such as MeeGo and KDE) Qt is the native API. Some other portable graphical toolkits have made different design decisions; for example, wxWidgets uses the toolkits of the target platform for its implementations.

As far as I know, it's also true that Qt doesn't try to use native widgets, it instead tries to draw them on its own (resulting in more possibilities of course).
I'll check it out, thanks for the recommendation.

I visit SF and Silicon Valley fairly regularly from London (where I live so potentially biased).

I am always, always, always shocked by the homelessness (and the mental state of those poor souls) in SF. People call London a dirty, unfriendly city but I've NEVER gotten any trouble from any of the homeless people in London apart form the usual begging, yet in SF its pretty much guaranteed you're going to get hassled/shouted-at/shoved/threatened by one of the homeless people once or twice per visit as you just go about your business.

I was considering moving to SF to work a while back. Housing is not cheap for sure, it is probably around about the same as London ... except in London if you pay $4000/month you dont get a vagrant shitting on your doorstep.

It is a genuinely shocking situation in SF. I am permanently shocked by the homelessness. It is terrible but no one seems to want/be able to do anything about it.

Another vote for Mailgun. I use them for all my side projects, monitoring, error reports, basically everything gets hooked into my FastMail account with all the right aliases I need, and it works very well.

I've never gone over my free allocation even when I have a dozen or so side projects up and testing.
There's no other reason to have referenced their working age population than to talk about what their actual supply of productive labor is.

Losing a mere one million people per year in working age population is entirely irrelevant when you have 400-500 million people sitting on the sidelines available to replace them.

China could improve the efficiency of their farming by 0.25% each year and replace those lost one million working age persons. It's a complete non-issue, they have drastically too many working age persons and nothing for them to do.

The HN forum is also populated by a large number of humans, who are wholly capable of understanding the intent of speech and text produced by others in an attempt to communicate.
These measures are JS performance are important for VM implementors, for people writing node.js applications to be used at large scale and people doing computationally-complex work in the browser (eg creating physics engines).

It's worth noting that for most of us, most of the time, this kind of JS performance is less important than user-perceptible optimizations, like batching DOM reads and writes and decreasing asset size
I concede that "RSA is obsolete" is somewhat hyperbolic, given OAEP and PSS, but RSA is dangerous, more dangerous than modern curve crypto. Developers overestimate their ability to mitigate dangers.
System Bus Radio
Honest Work Memos (The Ad Contrarian)
Yeah I agree with specifying which are more meaningful for the app/product. For my larger team we've done just that but the GA specialist is pretty gung-ho about tracking everything -- the cost is developer time and effort -- and for me, working with the analytics team to decipher the output from tracking it all -- a lot of event tags (descriptors) to keep in your head!
Full-text search in PostgreSQL in milliseconds (2012) [pdf]
This, sadly, is the right answer.

There's advantages to not having a written constitution, but this is not one of them. We don't have amendments we can take the government to court over. We have the EU and the Human Rights Act as our last line of defence, but the popular media is too busy trying to ridicule it as part of the "reluctant European" agenda. In this case our history as very reluctant Europeans does not help.

Outside tech, no one seems to have even the vaguest inkling of what's going on within their mobiles, or meta data is just date and time isn't it? It doesn't matter. Look at this meme.

Within tech

1. Those of similar mind can either withdraw and minimise exposure (ie use minimal apps, VPNs etc), join the open rights group, or... nothing. There's apathy in the extreme. The only other thing I could do, unless I made a solo stand in Parliament Square is contribute to Signal or similar on github.

2. There's the majority view which is along the lines of "I've nothing to hide", but with a total unawareness of concepts like if there's enough data you can criminalise anyone the powers that be take an exception to. If it's not criminal you could easily let something slip to make someone unemployable. Even tech people seem to have little idea or appreciation of historical lessons of only 70 years ago, except GCHQ is a good thing, it's the follow on to Bletchley and that helped win the war.

We've lost, clearly. You'd get as much, if not more, takeup organising a demo against the mythical chemtrails than this.

RSA OAEP and PSS is just as unlikely to win the Internet as ECDH and curve signatures. But if you had to pick one to win, you'd pick curves.
Lots of work, but getting harder every year to employ people without visa.
Why would they? It would cost billions, take years and mostly consist of dead-end features which Windows keeps around for compatibility. The end result would be an almost worthless product which always trails behind Windows and which MS can dominate with their existing software. It would also massively increase the market for "real" MS Windows.

Don't extend your competitors platform. Chrome took IE users and made them Chrome users because Google's platform is the web, not the desktop. So Chrome has been pushing forward traditional desktop features such as offline, OpenGL, and sockets, to displace desktop software.

Look at what Apple has done with the iPad, they've been the market leader and MS has had to follow them, only recently shipping Office apps for iOS. They're blazing ahead with their own platform which serves their goals, not tired old legacy software from 30 years ago.

"the freedom of an individual to control his or her own mental processes, cognition, and consciousness."

if this is a real thing, most of what passes for "education" these days tramples this right extensively.
It's an education piece at large. I work with large amounts of public and private data and it never ceases to amaze the level of clarity we can create on individuals. People are completely unaware how data is used, what it's value is and how to protect themselves.

Possibly off topic regarding surveillance data, but one of the more frustrating things is that amount of money generated from peoples data that they give away from free... then again, if you can't figure out what the product is, you are the product.
