Your "solution" does not work well with people on mobile. People on 2G/3G/LTE can alternate rapidly between online and offline. This kind of problem is easily solved by the chat server behaving like a store-and-forward device. Which is exactly what email is. But nobody likes to converse entirely using emails.

Chats have an important place because they allow us to say small things, quickly. What you suggest will result in no viable chat for mobiles, only emails. We can probably make a chat app that looks and feels like whatsapp but actually sends an email for every message. Dunno what problems this might have.

I'm not trying to troll you here, but have you ever actually played Go?? Go is so complex that the word 'complex' doesn't even begin to cover it. It's a game that requires equal parts creativity and logic. The sheer number of options absolutely dwarf anything else out there.

This achievement will be useful in a myriad of obvious applications. And, it is one of the greatest engineering feats that I have been alive to witness.

Even though the contents of iPhone is encrypted, the government agencies have been able to get that out of iCloud with the help of Apple in the past. So it is not entirely true that the whole encrypted content is off limits in all cases. May be that is all that is needed. And may be we shouldn't need to do anything more which I think is a valid argument. However, lets also not paint the ones who request such a feature as "morons"
The more things change...

This is a similar debate we had 20 years ago, when people were fighting against the government who wanted to limit encryption to 56-bit DES. Stronger algorithms were not allowed (and then they acquiesced and allowed stronger keys to be used within the US only, unless you applied for special licenses). But you could print out the same encryption algorithms as a book or even a t-shirt and it would be totally legal and exportable. The government was saying that they were protecting us, but really it did nothing.

It was ridiculous and we had a few years of relative peace on the encryption front until this whole faux-terrorist debacle.
[Med Tech]: Future family doctor looking to contribute to med tech
Hi,

I just matched into a US Family Medicine Residency program and will be starting in July 2016. My USMLE (United states medical licensing exam) scores and clinical performance evaluations are excellent.

It's a bit of a down time in my medical school career (post exams, prior to starting a residency) and the perfect time to learn about, meet and contribute to a med tech startup with the goal of creating a relationship that lasts into my residency and future practice of medicine.

The areas of med tech extremely interesting to me are:
- Consumer medical devices (ex. glucometers, insulin test strips, pulse oximeters)
- Wearables, vital sign monitoring and incentivized health improvement.
- Concussion testing and data interpretation.
- New takes on diagnostic tools (ex. VisualDx).
... and anything that will improve the health of Americans.

About me: 31, previously a General Manager of a Facebook API based social network and prior to that a co-founder of a website creation tool.

Education: BaSc. Electrical Engineering, MBA, MD.

References: Available upon request.

Thank you. Any introductions or suggestions for next steps are appreciated! Contact info is in my bio. Located in NYC!

Replacing the exact phrase doesn't work precisely because the stereotype here is used in a demeaning way. The solution isn't to shrug and say, "Gosh, this rewrite is too hard for mortal man." It's to do a more complete rewrite. E.g.:

> Even better than a drunk UX expert: an ordinary user. Developer Scotty Allen makes available his actual mom, a high school tutor, to give you her take on what's wrong with your web site.

The difference for me between theuserismymom.com and the "moms are worse than drunk people" spin is respect. Scotty is promoting his mom as a savvy person. Whereas the, "so simple even your mom could use it" stereotype is typically lazy, sexist bullshit.
Good point. It might also be a crime to lose key to encrypted data under these sort of laws.

> Well, it failed to be the preferred solution for its problem domain,

Google Talk, Facebook Chat, Origin (EA), Playstation, Cisco WebEx, WhatsApp all use/used XMPP for instant messaging.

That sounds like it's the preferred solution for realtime messaging, with vendor lock-in and NIH syndrome decisions being the major reasons that it isn't used in even more situations.

> and is universally ignored by big players.

As evidenced by the above list of major deployments, it is absolutely not "universally ignored". The problem (as someone else pointed out) is that for many of the "big players" a federated protocol is not what they want, so they don't allow federation, and don't allow/publicise the use of standard XMPP clients.

> Google also killed Talk in favor of Hangouts (and the later doesn't talk to XMPP).

This is a reason to stop using Google services, not a reason to claim XMPP is ill-suited to the task at hand.
Pretty interesting. A little overwhelmed with amount of choices. Also not sure what to think, I will have to do example app and see for myself. It does look very promising. I really like that it builds on the work of others instead of reinventing the wheel.

Also, mentioning Meteor, totally not needed.
DRM is a symptom. Perpetual copyright is the diseas.
A smartphone and the network services that power it have way more information then any personal journal ever did. It has every one you're associated with, every topic you're interested in, everywhere you've been, etc. Society did not fall apart back when the government did not have access to the complete life record of every potential criminal.
The mechanical and automatic nature of evidence gathering is a real difference, and goes well to argue against NSA-style warrantless crawling.

I think for warrants, though, we're looking at a different beast. By their nature they are targeted. And people have been compelled to provide passwords in the court of law(See [0]). The right against self-incrimination is relatively narrow, so as to not hinder the government's discoverability powers too much.

I think the one thing about this, though, is that people can already be compelled through legal means to unlock things. There is a reading of the Apple case that they are being compelled to unlock something for which they have the key.

Generally, it feels like outlawing encryption isn't necessary for the gov't to pursue the discovery phase of an arrest. There are already a good amount of legal means to compel people to unlock the doors.

When I provided commercial support for some open source project, I exchanged total 55 mails through 7 threads consisting of requirements, reports, code, invoices, internal conversation between colleagues, and so on just for one support and really needed some unified management tool or service at that time.

1TB/mo is roughly a constant 3mbit/s. So an estimated 2.1gbit/s. I recently had a 1gbit line from he.net quoted at $500 in Seattle.
I really enjoyed this article, largely because I saw the author take 5 hours to do this and go through all of the same pains I do when I attempt to make a contribution to an open source project. There is always part of me that feels I am not learning a new code base fast enough and imagines other, better developers are starting out so much faster than me so knowing someone whose work I respect as much as his goes through the same troubles we all do just adds to my perseverance to keep struggling through until I get it figured out.

Wiretap warrants aren't practical, nor were they the default; they are the result of years of public discussion and legal battles.

I agree that the situation is changing; the technology to batch surveil everyone at once is new, but the argument over privacy and where governments bounds are isn't.

A no-DRM clause would go against the definition of both Free Software and Open Source. Or more exactly, if you apply any restrictions on usage, then the software can't be classified as either. No exceptions.

And on distribution any copy left license would do, because it is DRM ruling itself out, as transparency of the code is incompatible with DRM. That's because all DRM accomplishes is a sort of security by obscurity so there can't be generally accepted solutions that are open-source. There's no DRM in Chromium for example. But except for the browser, it's not distribution that's relevant, which is why organizations like the FSF, the EFF and Mozilla are pissed off about W3C standardizing DRM.

I wouldn't hope for any miracles by Apple, when they are single handily responsible for popularizing DRM amongst consumers, along with Trusted Computing. Their whole iTunes / iPhone business is built on top and the rest of the industry followed.
Our government, nor any government, has ever been able to do the impractical, never mind the provably impossible.

The question is not whether we are restraining the government from knocking down some special doors. The question is more like whether we are preventing the government from using telepathy or defying gravity. No, nobody is preventing that except reality itself.

Rip their genitals out. Kill their children. Fuck government.

Encryption is part of reality, like gravity. We can say "government agents have been able to vault fences for hundreds of years." So fences should only be four feet high, so they can't conceal crimes or prevent entry?

Government is limited by reality, math, physics, the height of walls, the fact that telepathy isn't a thing, etc. Encryption is just one more limitation.
it excludes founders that have experience and judgment.

Those are the ones with money.
The ring buffer approach reminds me of the architecture used by the LMAX Disruptor.
Both can be productive depending on what what you have practised. Being good at command line will give you one more ability - "compose" various commands together to do complex task in a single command whereas the GUI guy can't do that as you can't compose "pixelated output". Think of this like - to do some task in GUI the guy will do something like - click, wait, click, type, wait... where as the command line guy would just write a single command composed of other commands.

While this is an interesting breakthrough for AI, let's remember that Go is only limitless in the exhaustive possibilities for every response move in sequence for the game. So many moves in response to a move are just not good and invalid you can do extensive pruning of search trees rather easily. That's why monte carlo algorithms work so well as it is. They don't beat the best of the best but I mean they still beat like literally 90% of Go Players.

But the game's rules are simple, the total storage of state needed for a game is rather small, so in terms of utilizing training data it's quite easy. You can fit an entire Go game in like 2 kilobytes of memory. There's only two types of stones, and they have no meaning other than being different than each other.

We would need more breakthroughs for real-time games. Compared to Go, they have easily gigabytes of potentially meaningful data PER game. Not only is storing millions and millions of games becoming an issue, processing them is becoming an issue as well. And in many of those games when strategy changes depending on which character or map you're on, it quickly balloons out in a manner that is just not reasonable.

Maybe the next step will be specialized AIs that tackle small more easily calculable components of real-time games and then combining those together to make something decent.

The GPLv3 solves this by not preventing you from implementing DRM, but granting you the right to circumvent any DRM implemented with the software.
As a translator and publisher of Chinese literature, I found these articles absolutely fascinating. I am all too familiar with the case of publishers hiring whichever translator they've heard of before, with apparently little or no actual review of that translator's previews works, and then publishing a translation that even a non-translating, non-Chinese-speaking reader could tell was poor.

Everyone assumes that readers don't care, but they absolutely do. Yan Lianke went from unknown in France to a bit of a sensation, mostly because his publisher switched translators. "Hey, you're a pretty good writer!" they told him, in surprise. In English, try comparing "Lenin's Kisses" to "Dream of Ding Village". Mo Yan gets a big shrug from most readers, and that's largely because his translator simply doesn't have a literary flair in English. Lost opportunities indeed.
Gplv3 comes with a ton of baggage, though, and it still isn't clear how enforceable agplv3 is.

I suspect better content licensing would be best--have a license that forces any distributor to offer media that can be played with FOSS software.

Facebook versus Reddit
This is misdirected, we should take on the struggle against capitalism, rather than capitalization.
Chat is not e-mail. It's chat. It has a much different feel to it. One brings a different mental context to e-mail than they do to chat. It is accessed differently, and the use patterns are very different. Hence, solving "offline chat" by sending an e-mail... this is not a real solution.

You could argue that some of the characteristics we find in chat are not useful, counter productive, etc. And there is probably some truth to that. But that is a different argument than what you made.
Err, no. That is a straightforward book review, not an exhaustive treatment of how an undiscovered original manuscript of Koestler's was discovered in the archives, plus an in-depth examination of differences between the as-published English manuscript and the newly discovered German one, and a personal appeal to publishers, many of whom read the NYROB, to find a way to publish the new version.

At the risk of invoking a meme... That escalated quickly.
AnthonyMouse has already clarified: It's the same information. My question, to which you are not responsive was: At what point does the same information magically become not speech? You are relying on perception, not on reality. It's always the same information. But it's easier to perceive it being a cog or lever inside a computer. But we all know that code is code. Compiled, decompiled, encrypted, compressed, translated, etc. It's all code all the time, and it's all speech all the time. You are bordering on some kind of Deepak Chopra-esque quantum mysticism that says humans must perceive speech in order for it to be speech.
Overall, this whole argument seems like the web being well behind the curve and debating about approaches to take to yesterday's problem (or perceived problem, I've yet to see real harm done by DRM on Netflix) when meanwhile things are largely passing them by. Consumption is moving to smart TVs, Rokus, iPads, etc.

So if you want a threat to the "open web" the appification of the world is where you'll find it. I'm not sure it'll be stopped either way (or even that this trend is so terrible), but religious objections to DRM - to push things that way even faster - aren't going to do anything to slow that train down.
