tremon - When a government has all of the weapons and the means to use them against the population, you no longer have an accountable government. This is how it is today in America and it appears to be getting worse. I don't condone violence, but the current system encourages it.

Our current US government wields powerful weapons called: Justice, Democracy and Law. The government is controlled by a few, who are making decisions behind closed doors that only benefit themselves. They have the mechanisms in place to enforce the will of the state against any human being for any reason.

You can be accused of anything by the government. You can be locked up without due process. Just because you don't see it everyday, doesn't mean that it's not happening. It's here in the USA.

Remove the weapons from the state. Forbid the use of force and violence against any citizen that resides in the USA. We should be focused on Peace, Truth, and Justice. Do no harm to yourself or to others.

Peace can never be delivered at the end of a a weapon or a writ of law. it must come from within.

I didn't think that was the conclusion at all.
Personally I take and look at more photos these days then I did before. The reason is I feel free in ignoring major targets (Roman colliseum etc) and focusing on impromptu shots featuring people I love (spilling ketchup from burger all over ones shirt). To me, that's where my personal photography is heading and I find it much more valuable.

I like feeling liberated from socially "important" photographs such as touristy spots. I never placed that much value on them if at all.

I started coding $LONGYEARS ago, and then took the management path cause I wanted to y'know, get paid. After five years as a CTO I finally realised I was coding maybe once or twice a week and gave it up, went contracting and while I know "leadership" basically is needed if you are going to have more effect than just your efforts, I only want to do that now for my own product company - not someone else's.

So contracting till I finally make the full time leap.

In short: you can go back.

To be honest, nothing about this seems particularly bad. It seems like circumstantially there was some evidence that he may have been a spy, the government executed a FISA warrant on the basis of that belief, and then found evidence of child porn.

I'm not generally a fan of secret warrants or broad search and seizure powers, but this really doesn't strike me as a particularly bad case. This seems, by and large, like an eminently reasonable and successful use of those powers.
This is an awesome effort.

Honestly didn't mean to have a "tone" - unless you mean my comment about evolutionary psychology, which is just balderdash in general.

Anyway, I can't really see the connection you trying to make, are you saying that something innate to (some of) the people who choose policing as a career overrides their training? Or that police training is in some particular way unsuccessful in modifying mental models?
Easy answer to this one from my perspective-
'any job that respects the 8-hour workday.'

Which seem to be few and far between, and in the US completely dependent on having a good manager. Nothing else to say or add. This changes everything for me, my family life, my happiness and my productivity.
But gaining power means losing autonomy. It means more interdependence to lay off risk.

True autonomy is its own discipline.

The problem with gaining power is that you now have to steer into the maelstrom of human foibles for a living.

Notice how all of those companies present themselves as consultancies.

The rest just show virtual machine prices, dedicated machine prices etc. You have to dig around the websites to find anything about "complete" database solutions. They present you with a phone number and you will have to phone them up, and it won't be cheap. They will charge consultancy fees.

I'm not talking about database hosting. I'm talking about setting up a web hosting platform. A lot of companies would like secure access via VPN. Imagine you have some network appliance, you would probably want its admin console completely cut-off(via ACL) via public internet. You would access it via site to site vpn instead.

Right, I tend to agree, but as I noted in my response to asteadman, the weather hasn't been kind to going out and finding interesting shots outside yet, and my little one bedroom apartment has been getting a bit stale. I've taken at least 20 or 30 shots of my bookshelf, for example.

Why chroot? I've got a Debian install on microsd, with a script that symlinks it into the root. The only conflict I've seen so far is /dev/log. Hangouts may crash more, but when doesn't it?

The difference is that the people in the article are being paid just to turn up. The business people you mentioned are in charge of large organizations that are making them money while they aren't around.
> So you don't think you have this right? I believe you have the right of opportunity, but not of outcome.

I do think I have this right; as an American it is the #1 thing that makes me an American. It's why we ignore the rules we don't like. It's why we lust for power and for money, lest some other person beat us to the punch and have power over us.

And while no rational person thinks they can control every factor that goes into their own outcome, we at least want to have some influence. If you're an engineer and your company goes belly-up because your marketing guy was a moron and you didn't have the power to make him listen to your ideas... that's the position many Americans strive to avoid.

> Really? I was thinking it was typically Chinese. My wife's family is from China and they pretty much all try to one up/compare each other in terms of assets, money, or jobs.

I feel that this no longer an American trait. 30 years ago, yeah, but with the whole backlash against the 1% and the hipster movement where bankers making $500k/yr dress like homeless musicians... it's not as cool to flaunt money anymore (unless you're a musician; then it's just part of the whole consumer culture thing because you're selling a life of luxury to poor people...) My household income last year was over seven figures, but I live in a house worth less than half of that and drive a 5 year old base model Subaru. Once money buys you autonomy, it's not really worth much (and that's a modern American perspective that's backed up by research).

> Regardless of your culture, this doesn't change. If you have more more money, you will always have more options/freedom.

I absolutely agree. But the single most important value that America was founded on is self-determination: the idea that each person is in control of their own destiny. Outside forces may get in your way, but it's your obligation to figure out how to get around them. American business culture is the same way: if you want to limit your chances of being fired through no fault of your own, you should probably get more power so you're higher up on the decision making chain.
Thanks.

Especially interesting when you consider that the founders thought 1:30,000 was an appropriate ratio. This was the only issue of the Constitutional Convention where Washington expressed an opinion (lowering it from 1:40,000).
We're actually on the same page. Proof of performance is a definite must while interviewing.

The title does the initial framing of expectations, that's it.

There's always going to be idiot consultants. And anyone who doesn't properly vet any candidate is likely to get their expectations crushed.

I'm talking more about the title and language that frames the career.

There's a big difference between "I'm a programmer with 30+ years experience. My last project was a rewrite of my employers checkout API."

vs

"I'm a consultant specializing in Ruby on Rails. For my last client, I rewrote the entire checkout process that supports $400 dollars in transactions. I decreased the time it took to process the initial check out by two seconds. With that increase in checkout speed, I provided an additional 10% lift in revenues."

Both could be describing the same process, but with the latter much more in line with the prospective client's goals.

The article has one sentence about the videos being on a beach house computer that someone else could have used. So just from this article it is unclear exactly how damming that evidence is, but it is possible it was not his fault that the illegal videos were on his computers. So first suspicion and second being charged for something he didn't do but could not get out of because he didn't have access to all the legal information necessary.

At least that is a possibility. If he really is guilty then I don't feel bad for him.
Any chance you could point me to a reference? I'm doing research in this space and currently working on a paper which does exactly this for diagnostics of testing processes.

I think the idea is that nobody cares because it is not an unfairly applied discrimination - it is a discrimination everyone will suffer except for those who die ("the unfortunate few") that said once you suffer from it, yes you will care.
I'm not super alarmed by this case, but the precedent is disquieting.

Here it seems like FISA was used to get a secret warrant to build a counterespionage case; the warrant was targeted and specific. There's some unpleasant strong-arm tactics at play, but nothing out of the ordinary (in particular: you can definitely be the subject of a warrant for which the search more or less exonerates you, but be implicated in a different crime during the lawful conduct of the search; that's not weird.)

The scary thing here is that FISA is also used to animate dragnet searches, which are not targeted. It's scary to think that (for instance) phone records seized under the aegis of FISA could be used to start metadata-based criminal prosecutions for things unrelated to terrorism or espionage.

That's true, but contested evidence has nothing to do with FISA. The defendant could just as easily have been searched because a houseguest saw the CP on a computer and tipped the police, and the same debate would have occurred.
Democracy is a form of government that can destroy itself. The French voted to put in an emperor their first time around.

Building Query Builder Design and Architecture Suggestion?
http://i.stack.imgur.com/ABAKN.png

We need to build efficient scalable Query Builder as in above picture.

Example link for reference: http://help.campaignmonitor.com/topic.aspx?t=90

Requirements

1) Attributes are dynamic per client. e.g. for Client 1 "region", "position" are attributes. For Client 2 "first name", "last name", "language" are attributes.

2) Client will do segmentation on dynamic fields through above query builder.

3) Since attributes are dynamic we are going with NoSql database Amazon DynamoDB. We need to perform real time requests( < 100ms SLA) on DynamoDB database, run the dynamic built query, show results on dashboard and do pagination.

4) Below operations can be run on text fields:
"matches exactly", "does not match exactly", "is provided", "is not provided", contains, "does not contain", "starts with", "does not start with", "ends with", "does not end with"

Questions

1) Best approach i.e. architecture to manage data so that dynamic built queries can be run efficiently on million of list data?

2) Technology / Database suggestions?

3) Production use cases will be helpful.

"During his initial appearance in a federal courthouse in Santa Ana, Calif., the prosecutors indicated a willingness to reduce or drop the child pornography charges if he would tell them about the C-17, said Sara Naheedy, Gartenlaub’s attorney at the time."

No evidence of downloading the porn. No evidence of viewing the porn. The only way, according to their own experts, is if someone directly copied them on.

In other words, "Hey, look what nasty stuff we just happened to find on your computer. Be a nice fella and tell us what we want to know, and we'll make this go away."

Nominally, OOXML is an open format. But in practice it is littered with legacy Microsoft Office stuff only Word can do right and weird hacks. LibreOffice/OpenOffice do a good job in implementing OOXML, but despite these efforts .docx documents often have lots of little issues when opened outside of Microsoft Office.

Compare the OOXML standard's 6000 pages to ODF's 600. I have worked with both for the purpose of generating documents from scratch, and OOXML is a monster.

Not to mention the ballot-stuffing that occurred to get OOXML accepted as an ISO-standard…

> That's precisely the problem with race in America: race is a decent first-order approximation of class, with all the bad that entails.

Not really. I mean in my state (WA), 48% of people below the poverty line are white, 18% are hispanic, 14% are asian, 14% are black. Sure some approximations of some classes are heavily involved with race, but if you're discussing class dynamics in general race isn't a necessary distinction.

> If we could address that head-on, if people didn't automatically assume that others of the same race are 'like them' and others of a different race are 'unlike them,' and not have those things be true, then racism would be a thing of the past...

Except that humans can't ignore race. The feel-good stories we tell each other about how we are naturally colorblind and taught to be racist, about how racism is an unnatural malignant artifact in our culture, are just that; stories. In reality children will show a strong preference for members of their own race by age 3, and it's not something we can just disappear.

The size of Congress isn't the main problem with funding infrastructure, the Senate is. Your Senators aren't directly accountable to the people in your state making the budget. I get people stopped trusting their state legislator in picking their Senator, but that has caused a lot of conflict.
