I'm with you - but acting on your convictions and doing what's right should also mean accepting the consequences of the current laws. I for one am freaked out by a future where Multinationals get to pick and choose which laws they would like to follow because "the law is behind the curve". Uber's actions and general attitude suggest this future is actually now.

It is a great deal because it shows that the money is there and the problem lies elsewhere in society. A poor country with poor GDP and HDI is in a very hard situation. A country with high GDP and poor HDI has a chance of solving its problems and rising up if it can solve its wealth inequality.

Brazil in the past decade made huge advances in that. We are a recent democracy, we've been a military dictatorship for a long time. In our couple decades as a democratic country we've managed to get lots of good things done but of course there are millions impoverished and we're not even close to solving anything. Still the new social programs, the fact that millions moved our of the misery level, this is great.

If we could solve wealth distribution and opportunity, this could be a really great place. Our problem is not the lack of money but the concentration of it and the concentration of access to infrastructure and opportunities as well.

> I can understand the reasoning behind them building for a single node. Building distributed systems is hard, not everyone is capable of building these systems. They also require languages and frameworks suited to working in clusters. Golang might not scale too well, but its great for the simple things.

I'd say we're up to it, and Go is a great language for this class of system. We're however wise enough to know that even with the best people and tools this would take years to get production ready.

Yes, you'd lose access to historical data (typically more than a few weeks ago). But everything else works, which should include the vast majority of your alerts.

Companies can be punished for failure to obey laws. If a company didn't bother to retain records on who bought something they are now required to recall due to safety failures I can't imagine any country would say that is ok. They would be punished.

I don't happen to think the law mentioned is a good one. And I have no idea how the law is actually worded. Depending on how it is worded maybe it is ok to just not keep records so you don't have to provide them. But it is certainly within the power of governments to demand companies operate in a manner that requires them to do certain things and you can't avoid that by for example not keeping the records you are required to.

I sure hope the USA stops the leadership of authoritarian overreaching on laws relating to technology. But it is not at all surprising that others are following the lead of the USA into horrible authoritarian and Orwellian laws given the USA's behavior. Few countries seem willing to put liberty ahead of authoritarianism. The USA is far from perfect but it is a country that has above average potential for promoting liberty.

But the last Bush and Obama administrations have been horrible and both political parties are pushing for horrible laws. A few decent advocates (such as Senator Ron Wyden) for fighting this trend exist but they are not common yet.

This promotion of authoritarian state power is a very dangerous trend that may well have incredibly bad consequences for us. Our history shows authoritarian governments abuse power and I am worried about the last two administrations strong support for increasingly powerful spying abilities of government.

I would hope countries like Brazil lead away from the path the USA is pushing the world down. Unfortunately I don't see much good happening in that way. I hope I am just not aware of good things other countries are doing but I worry that isn't the reason I don't hear about good moves to thwart the dreams of authoritarian regimes.
Thoughts on Business Insider
Are you sure you mean 640MSPS re. the Ettus B200, that sounds very high for an entry level SDR.

Looking at the Ettus spec page - https://www.ettus.com/product/details/UB200-KIT they quote 61.44MS/s.

I went on the French Hired.com yesterday, and asking me my race is simply illegal here, and having as option stuff like 'native american form Hawaii' (from memory, it was in french, making even less sense) did not really feel culturally sensitive. On the other hand, having my boss commenting on the look of a female engineer in the lunch room did not really make me feel good.

edit: but I would say that the american culture is shouted so loudly at the rest of the world that it's not really an issue in this direction.
Mojang's server blacklist, and why it's a big deal
Unfortunately this became common for Brazilians in the last few years. Judges are perceived as having extraordinary powers over everyone's lives. In the last few months, lower court judges have blocked actions of the president of the republic. They have also put in jail some of the richest people in the country, supposedly for corruption, but also for political reasons.
That's my thinking -- an inability to comply could have been addressed with the court. Instead, it appears that they had no representation in front of the court in order to make that argument, have hearings and otherwise determine that compliance is impossible.

The merits of the case are one thing, however not appearing to address those merits (or lack thereof) seems to be the failure point.

But I could be wrong.

Am I the only one who thinks telling an online community about how you managed to sneak X past TSA is a bad idea ?

People at TSA are doing their duty which is essentially completely pointless. Also it is the case everywhere. When I was in India I by mistake carried my wife passport and boarding pass and she carried mine when we entered the security post. The security guard carefully matched the boarding pass name with the passport name and let us pass!

> But Whatsapp simply ignored brazilian justice system as if it was above the law. For me, all of this is Whatsapp fault.

Whatsapp deletes its messages from its servers after delivery. So it can't even provide the messages even if it wanted to.

Also, since end-to-end encryption, the as-yet-undelivered messages sitting on Whatsapp servers are encrypted. Whatsapp has no way to actually read them.
I just now completed the online application for TSA PRE, but I am curious about something... I've been VERY, (very) vocally critical of the US government, the DHS, TSA, FBI, NSA, CIA, etc., here, on my blog, on Twitter, on Facebook, etc. I've always wondered if that would affect me if I applied for PRE. So, have any of you experienced any issues getting accepted for PRE, based on your political positions/ statements/whatever? Or even heard of anybody who did?

Just curious about what to expect...
For some of them, the requirements (for the same number of people and the same overall outcomes) increase with density, so, in a sense, high-rises (or other arrangements which increase density) do require them.

Taking the comments from an article link[1]

The advent of human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, which allow researchers to ultimately transform any cell into a neuron, has opened a new avenue for the study of complex neuropsychiatric disorders, including autism.

In principle, iPS cells can be derived from cells anywhere in the body, and maintain the individual’s unique genetic background. This is important, as complex diseases are caused by mutations in multiple genes, which would be reflected in the iPS model.

Since, its not embryonic stem cells, it should go over fine and has nothing really to do with the pro-life agenda. I tend to start with the example of skin grafting when describing this type of thing to give the context of starting with existing non-embryonic cells and working your way to treatments. I guess there might be those opposed to using your own cells to research or fix you, but I think that's a very, very small sliver of the population.

> They have said that it is impossible for them to provide the information requested.

They have said this to the press or to the court? Because it seems to me like Fb/Whatsapp have been pointedly ignoring the courts for months. The least they could do is fly down a lackey to Brazil and say it in person and/or alternatively hire a Brazilian law firm to represent them.

I always felt that F-35B at least should have been its own design. As for A & C, there have been successful examples of naval aircraft being used by air forces too - such as F-4, and F/A-18. But trying to have a design that is also STOVL capable?
What's interesting to me is how blatantly wrong Wright's post is. It seems like he went out of his way to make it wrong (typos in the actual code). If he was a scammer wanting to prove something, wouldn't he go out of his to way to make sure there were at least no typos?

So what is his motive other than completely fucking up his reputation?

One freaky, and completely unfounded, hypothesis is that Wright is Satoshi, and was pressured by government to have experts prove he was satoshi (for tax reasons), but is willingly playing stupid publicly and releasing a blatantly foolish post to keep his anonymity and let the world think he's not Satoshi.

Yes I know, I have a very creative mind :)
A better alternative would be Signal https://whispersystems.org/

Telegram is a terrible alternative. Messages aren't even end to end encrypted by default and they're kept accessible on Telegrams servers. See the recent news on how a russian activists Telegram account got hacked giving them access to all stored messages: https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2016/04/30/russia-telegram-h...

Also this:

Thomas H. Ptacek: By default Telegram stores the PLAINTEXT of EVERY MESSAGE every user has ever sent or received on THEIR SERVER.

Edward Snowden: I respect @durov, but Ptacek is right: @telegram's defaults are dangerous. Without a major update, it's unsafe.

The details are under seal, you simply can not know that.

Brazil has no law ordering companies to collect communication contents (and it would be against our Constitution). Instead, there is a law requiring them to collect IP addresses of sender and receiver of messages, and storing them for 6 months in case a court requests them.

This is information Facebook has, and this is the law they broke last time the service was blocked.
Did they say segmented stack / stack maps is not available in llvm or it was not available when they started working on Go around 2007? Because I notice that segmented support was added around 2012 and stack maps in 2013.

Sure, so the company can pay pennies on the dollar for pensions for employees after a life time of service. What a great deal?

No, not really. I was talking about network effects (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect), in that this tool for detecting free Javascript is only useful if all (or at least most) of the free Javascript on the web is marked as such.

When you apply a license to a piece of software, it's immediately useful for that particular piece of software. You don't need an entire ecosystem of free software for one free program to be useful.

Commonality is ~80% between all 3 aircraft. They could probably make a F/A-XX based on F/A-18E/F with similar avionics, and engines based on the F135 in a larger airframe, but they could make it happen relatively economically if that was the priority.
> (because forks can replace the original, which has happened in the past)

This is the kind of subversive language that I take issue with. Once I release a piece of code, it exists now and forever, until its bits are deleted from every last storage medium. A fork has nothing to do with that code's existence. It may be the case that a fork gains favor and is more widely used than the original piece of software, but the original piece of software still exists and is perpetually free.

> Personally, I don't think that a single source being free captures the point of the word "perpetual"

I'm not taking issue with your ideas (in this thread, anyway). I'm taking issue with your phrasing and the way you've expressed your ideas. I thought I was pretty clear on that. You're using words like "enslaving" and "they don't care about freedom," which is just a way to discredit, shame and condescend those that don't share your beliefs. It's a classic debate tactic.

> Why doesn't it happen with SQLite? I think it probably does, it's just that the creators don't care about that (and they're at liberty to do that). But one of the largest operating systems in the world (GNU/Linux) is created using many components under the GPL. So cherry-picking projects doesn't help either of our cases (and there are many more high-profile projects under copyleft licenses than in the public domain).

It is unbelievable how much you're twisting my words. I called out SQLite as an example that public domain is in wide use beyond a "few western countries", which was a response to your snubbing your nose at my terminology. Like public domain is some obscure thing? Well, no, actually, it's used by one of the most popular software projects in the world. How could it still be obscure? That was my point.

The idea that I cited SQLite as some kind of evidence that public domain is "better" than copyleft is ridiculous. It's even more ridiculous that you implied that I argued that "X doesn't happen to SQLite." I didn't.
There seem to be a few problems with this analysis.

First, WhatsApp is a US company and has no presence in Brazil. Under many readings of US law (specifically, ECPA), US companies are in fact prohibited from complying with requests from foreign law enforcement for content, except in emergencies. Instead, foreign law enforcement must make a request for assistance to the US DoJ, which will then (eventually, and maybe) process it and serve it on the US company. This is one of the reasons why MLAT reform, such as the proposed UK-US agreement[1], is so important because it would allow US companies to directly respond to foreign law enforcement requests.

Second, apparently, the data does not exist. WhatsApp publicly stated, including in testimony before the Brazilian Congressional Committee on Cyber Crimes[2], that it does not and has not retained any message content once messages are delivered, even before the recent full roll-out of E2E. Based on these statements, it would seem that WhatsApp is indeed unable to comply with the court's request, regardless of any jurisdictional arguments.

I must correct myself here. @mrkurt apologies for misleading information. What I meant was I haven't heard about the next steps or about a rejection. However, I was notified that my submission is in queue and to expect a decision soon. I am 100% in support for the hiring procedures followed by Compose :).

What was disappointing was, overall the timeline has been 8+ weeks since submission of coding exercise and a decision on the same isn't available.
Thanks for the correction. I will point out that the article does indicate that there is some type of difference, so I would still think that such a loss would have some sort of impact (though obviously not ~400-500 calories worth).
