So she wanted the NSA to stonewall because that would give her the excuse she needed to set up a private email server? And the rest of the administration played along?

The simpler explanation is that Clinton got really annoyed with the NSA for denying her requests so she disregarded the rules and did her own thing.

Per their S1, Facebook did $3.7 billion dollars in annual revenue in 2011, and had a net income of $1 billion. And they were growing that at 100% annually.

I'd say the comparison is pretty apples/oranges.

One of the major outstanding questions I have as a neuroscientist is whether the classic experimental approaches used here can ever get us to the 'understanding' the is needed to build something that looks like a brain. I have been leaning toward the thought that we are likely to make faster progress by letting the synthetic biologists have a shot at it, even if it means we will be stumbling around in the dark if we stray even slightly from the steps they learn to take.
Somewhere in between, just based on experience from spending 1.5 years to get Rahm's phone records. I've received one week so far and now I'm working on getting as much of a sample of his phone records as possible without them invoking their usual "unduly burdensome" rejection [0]. (Hoping to have something published within the next two months or so. Crazy story.)

The level of misinterpretation of FOIA among FOIA officers, lack of domain knowledge, intentional delays and reject-if-possible mentality makes these things very difficult. Total incompetence.

Though, if you find yourself close to something juicy, you can bet your ass a lawyer will swoop in and find something technically wrong to prevent information from being released. Chicago did that to me eight months in by saying "We don't use VoIP, so your request is void." after the state's attorney general's office told Chicago to give me the info. I'd consider this mildly nefarious.

[0] As far as I'm concerned, "unduly burdensome" is just another way of saying "we're not clever enough to get that information, so you're going to have to come up with a clever way on your own, with 1% of the information we have".
Common misconception: Twitter has actually pretty steadily increased its revenue per user. Their issue is that their user growth has basically plateaued far short of the ubiquitous level they need.

They wouldn't give her the fancy mobile device that she wanted. They offered alternatives. She just wanted a Blackberry.
You know, the main job for a web CA is to verify the owner of a domain. What if... domain registrars had that job instead? They definitively know the domain registrant, no need to play games with email verification tokens or http challenges.
Russia Developing Its Own Hyperloop Technology
I never really understood why the NSA couldn't have provided her with some sort of handheld digital device that wasn't that Windows CE PDA. I also don't understand why Clinton didn't just opt to use it. Having used the WinCE devices before, they're not all that bad to do email on. They're not good, but how much worse would it have been compared to a BB? I used a UT Starcomm PP6700 (or something like that) and I even kinda liked the keypad.

Please learn the difference between an API and a network protocol, else you end up looking foolish.

I don't believe that the distinction is that clear at all. Hence my comment:

Unless you are arguing that network protocol compatibility is a different thing? It seems to me that there is a lot of overlap, since Samba relies on re implementing the same behavior as a Windows file server.

I think it is pretty easy to argue that the pattern of network calls needed to make calls (eg authentication) is an API.

Is a WSDL SOAP definition an API? I think most would say yes. A REST endpoint and the definition of how to use it? Why exactly is the definition of the HTTP protocol different to the definition of the REST endpoint?

IANAL, etc. Which seems important these days.

I got this earlier today:

Just when you were beginning to understand Bitcoin, we decided to add Ethereum! We thought you might want to get your stake in Finance 2.0 sooner rather than later.

Sign in to your Coinbase account now to instantly purchase Ethereum and start participating in the economy of the future.
I don't think I implied otherwise.
They're appealing the verdict of the jury. Good luck getting an appeals court to overturn a unanimous jury.
One could argue whether an API is a creative work however.

True, though I suggest a better alternative is that some types of work -- in particular, those necessary for effective communication or for interoperability -- should be explicitly exempt from copyright protection, regardless of any creative element.

Copyright itself is an economic trade-off, sacrificing some freedom in the interests of promoting what is considered a greater good.

In the same spirit, I would argue that the ability of different parties to communicate and work together effectively is a greater good than anything copyright incentivizes and should therefore take precedence.

Curiously, the US legal system already recognises a similar principle in the way it treats typefaces. I submit that analogous treatment is appropriate for APIs, file formats, communications protocols, and the like.
Because good VCs make money on the ones that successfully monetize, not on consistent 10% ROI. That kind of return is great, but just be a PE firm if that's your goal.
> Having non-economic privileges

I can't stand referring to my comment as "white privilege." It's just another way to discount a person simply because of their race.

Being white is like starting a race at the starting line.
Being black can be like starting that same race 10 feet back.

Starting at the starting line, isn't a privilege--it's just how a race should be, in order to be fair for everyone participating.

What it also means is that being black means you just have to run faster to win.

> What it can do, for example, is help keep you from getting shot by the police on the way to your interview.

Which we should solve the problem, not badger whites to feel guilty by calling it a privilege.
Exploration vs. exploitation
It's both. The security aspect is incompetence. The idea of having it external is deliberate to avoid FOIA.
Hmmm, I wasn't saying one shouldn't use coding style guides. Quite the reverse. My point is that it is not whether any particular guideline is "factual" or "opinion," but whether one can get teammates to abide by them.
Here are the two obvious one, and another one that's well. . . more in the vein of the Clinton's being the Clinton's IMHO.

http://www.ijreview.com/2015/03/264655-3-federal-laws-hillar...

- Executive Order 13526 and 18 U.S.C Sec. 793(f) of the federal code make it unlawful to send of store classified information on personal email.

- Section 1236.22 of the 2009 National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) requirements states that:

“Agencies that allow employees to send and receive official electronic mail messages using a system not operated by the agency must ensure that Federal records sent or received on such systems are preserved in the appropriate agency record keeping system.”

- MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell believes that the use of a personal emails server appears to be a preemptive move, specifically designed to circumvent FOIA:
What was the workflow in mind when Git was designed?
I was unaware the clintonemail.com email server could differentiate between unclassified and classified content.
Looks like that's not enough, you also need to set some sort of "lingering" option or the last logout will kill everything despite having used systemd-run?

Sounds like a lot of pitfalls with these new defaults. Wonder how many background tasks will be ruined before somebody patches screen to automatically issue all these new systemd commands.
> because they don't want to address the science.

Do you have any scientific evidence to back up your theory? Or, said another way, where is this science you speak of documented and tested?

As far as evidence against your theory, evolution (e.g. bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics) is the result of mutation and selective pressure. If antibiotics are never used, then there is no selective pressure. Significant percentages of a bacterial species do not just decide to become immune to some antibiotic that doesn't exist or is never used.

When the selective pressure of an antibiotic is present, however, those mutations that provide immunity to the antibiotic are selected (as the others die) and become a larger percentage of the total population of the species.

This is also why you take the full dosage of an antibiotic. Otherwise, you leave the most resistant alive (those more vulnerable to the antibiotic die first, in theory).

Also why farms are considered to be the leading cause of antibiotic resistance. By constantly administering antibiotics when they are not needed, you are providing a constant selective pressure, forcing adaptation to occur.
If you're building an interception service (which this could be) - then yes, you build your own Root CA which you install on devices that you want to intercept.

Legitimate uses of this would be things like government or military departments intercepting traffic from their own network.

As explained elsewhere in this thread, they have a history of working with regimes where they want to intercept the traffic of the general public in countries.
Who is the one telling that story, and what is there evidence that that was the purpose?
I really want to like Clinton for running her own server, respecting the decentralized basis of the Internet. Yet her domain name was clintonemail.com? What a pleb! Political corruption and murder is her family business, yet even with those capabilities she can't be bothered to obtain a better online identity? She may as well have been at hotmail or gmail and highlighted in blue!
Any possibility of Mavericks support?

stylelint – A Mighty, Modern CSS Linter
This narrative doesn't address the fact that Clinton was actively opposed to FOIA requests and had sought means to keep her public work private as much as possible.

Following common sense here, her decision to ignore State Department regulations (which she lied about) and participate in classified communications (which she also lied about) on a private server immediately after she had made efforts to minimize public access to her communications, leads to the obvious conclusion that she put secrecy above transparency. If her narrative in private testimony matches the public one, then she likely perjured herself as well on the point of whether the State Department authorized the server, since they now say they did not (which again, she lied about).
Why? A license is just a contract, no? Can't the clauses be arbitrary?

I mean, could you have a clause in a license that said "to distribute this work, you need to wear purple shoes on Mondays"? If so, why wouldn't you just be able to say "to distribute this work, you need to distribute works that link to it under the same license", as as arbitrary condition?
I know how it seems at first but you should probably hear out his explanation.

First I take it you accept the necessity of gathering intelligence and analyzing it i.e. You don't believe the world is a John Lennon song.

He says that Palantir is a very targeted approach to surveillance. It was founded at a time when dragnet surveillance proposals were being thrown up. The 'greater good' in this sense is preventing a more Orwellian world by the method of being effective and flexible in a way that sprawling govcomplexes tend not to be.

When Snowden came out Thiel was alongside Binney in criticizing the NSA for being overwhelmed in irrelevant data. The basic point they both make is that an effective government isn't a cruel one or has the potential to be less likely to cudgel large numbers of innocent people. No need to send the village to the gulag if one of them is the culprit.
It's quite possible the law discussed in that article was broken. The author lists the three cases of relevance: (1) whether Clinton knew she was putting classified information into an unclassified system, (2) did she willfully communicate classified information to anyone not authorized to receive it, and (3) did she remove classified information with the intent to retain such documents or materials at an unauthorized location. None of those are settled yet. The headline that "Hillary Clinton didn't break the law" is an opinion, not settled. The author is only citing what Clinton's aides and one government lawyer have said -- those are far from unbiased or conclusive. And after the state department IG's report from yesterday, it is pretty clear the violation was intentional.
The cost of revenue is interesting. I want to shine some light from an insider perspective to the industry.

I operate a telecom company that mimics the twilio API and we are nabbing their bigger customers left and right. Being fully transparent - our average cost per minute of long-distance is $0.00014 (with 6 second increments) and twilio charges $0.0015/minute (with _60_ second increments).

Wholesale long-distance prices are falling MUCH faster than application providers charging per-call or per-minute. IMHO, That arbitrage will be squeezed eventually as telecom becomes more commoditized.
I for one would like to have a public digital recording of the actual trial available...
> these problems simply didn't exist or were not nearly as severe with previous revision control systems

I (have to) use one of these systems you speak of without the horrors of having to worry about merge histories or organizing any branches whatsoever.

I have to worry that someone in California broke some code, somewhere right before lunch and it'll take me as long to workaround as it will to just take a second lunch.

I have to worry that if I miss a release because of QA issues I need to spend a bunch of time reversing all my changes temporarily and then redoing them in a new release and hoping nothing got borked in between.

I have to worry about how to show someone out of the office what my changes look like because they're still too janky to push into the release branch.

If I'm working from home and Comcast decides I'm due for my weekly outage then I'm SOL.

I have to worry about a failed commit going and locking files on other people because apparently I'm the only person ever to run a command that fails (granted, PEBCAK), so let's not worry about making that failure impact a centralized shared state in a negative way.

You can spend a lot of time thinking about the best way to do something in git because it lets you do a lot. The choice is essentially "Elaborate workflows" vs "bridge the inadequacies of the tooling by brittle ritualized human processes".

Git problems are VCS' first-world problems.
It's complete BS. Even anti-semitism in South America is through the roof.

"A 2011 poll conducted by the Gino Germani Research Institute of the University of Buenos Aires on behalf of the Anti-Defamation League and Delegación de Asociaciones Israelitas Argentinas showed that a majority of Argentines held anti-semitic sentiments or prejudices. Of the 1,510 Argentines surveyed, 82% agreed with statements "that Jews are preoccupied with making money," 49% said that they "talk too much about what happened to them in the Holocaust", 68% said that they have "too much power in the business world", and 22% said that the Jews killed Jesus. The majority of people interviewed also expressed belief that Jews are more loyal to Israel than their country of birth"[0]

Haha yeah I've actually seen her supporters claim the MX filtering meant it was "secure"! facepalm
Genetically, "races" don't exist; discrimination based on what you want to call ethnicity is exactly the problem
Biotech is "borrowing" a few tricks from embedded development. Trying to get an LED to light up to prove your code is running - similar to what they've done with triggering fluorescing genes. This is sort of like writing sentinel values when interrupt routines get called and reading them out after the fact.

Once you have these tools in place, building the fundamental blocks to bring a system up is much easier.
Hong Kong, perhaps? Or Chinese-American?

I was really focusing on mainlanders; I've not noticed this from people born in the West. And less in Hong Kong (though still present).
On the other hand, using IPA more widely would help more people know about it. It is the standard in linguistics—although that’s not necessarily a sufficient argument, as it might be too technical for a general audience.
Sorry, not good enough for me. You should have put some limits. Honestly, I have a bunch of domains you collect $5 from me monthly each, but I won't pay $20, no way, but I'm sure those don't cost you more than a $0.25/mo as they get no traffic! So, from customers like me, you will lose money, and I'm sure most domains are low traffic, and people use your service just in case! So, you're not making a smart decision!
The irony of Clinton having possibly violated the same law that she has used to (wrongly) advocate for the prosecution of whistleblowers is maddening, and moreover, the fact that she will likely escape prosecution is a horrible indictment of our democracy.
And the article lists various reasons why none of those would likely apply to her.

The IG's report only shows incompetence on her part, not criminal intent.
I like how qotoqot.com shows up as "productive"
"That's because they're being displaced. Because there is not enough housing."

Nor will there be at any point in the near future, no matter how much housing gets built. But that's a red herring. If the question is "should we favor policies that encourage the tech industry, or discourage it?", you have to do better than arguing that the tech industry is a net good in some ideal world that doesn't currently exist.

SF had a pretty strong economy before tech came along. Saying "tech...or the Greek economy" is clearly absurd.
>>> The really out there stuff is that this was to hide any cash-for-favors exchanges that happened with relation to The Clinton Foundation.

It would've been a good plan if she had actually secured the server properly and had encrypted all of her stuff.

Unfortunately, there's plenty of evidence of shady stuff the foundation was doing without additional support in her private emails.
This is a good feature, and a good default.

Europe has a different type of racism though. There's a reason why the Muslims there become extremists but stuff like that almost never happens in the USA.
So if I set /etc/systemd/logind.conf KillUserProcesses=no the current behavior will be preserved whenever this change finds its way downstream?

Twilio is a Bandwidth customer.
Among the more disappointing things in all of this is that there is a rational, important conversation to be had about everyday awareness of security and government inflexibility. But there won't be, because she is Hillary Clinton and it is 2016.

Supposedly she got the server set up because the NSA refused to give a politician who travels frequently a secure smartphone. She (I personally believe) was likely ignorant of many of the security requirements of such a server (even one set up for unclassified e-mail), as was whoever set it up. And no-one on her staff either knew enough or was willing enough to say anything. She is also supposedly not the first Secretary of State to have an arrangement of this nature.

This feels like the very definition of systematic failure and clearly needs to change. But the conversation is almost exclusively based around a) her having nefarious motivations, because she is Hillary Clinton, or b) this all being a Republican plot to derail the Democratic candidate for President.

It's all very depressing.
It would be good if the article took into account if the blacks had other felonies in their history.

>Likewise, women tend to make significantly less money for doing the same work

This has been debunked many times, women usually don't take overtime and generally work less than men. On a per-hour basis they make basically the same, many times a tad more.

The rest of your comment about "diversity" (reducing the number of whites) is basically typical leftist-kumbaya BS with no data to support it.
Yeah! I dig it.

So, I honestly wouldn't change anything about the interface, except to wrap the entire thing in an outer shell with something that represents what GTD software might call a context.

And depending on context, different rule sets apply. Anyway, that's just a suggestion, don't mean to stomp on your notion of product, what you've got is a great start and a neat coupling of product experience and interesting engineering!

I especially like the ambient info display in the app icon. Seeing whether the app is bordered in green or blue every time i tab up the app switcher is a great piece of design.

Hi - Michael here from Coinbase Support. Since this has shown up on both reddit and now here, it's probably worth stating that we haven't been compromised. We have, as the customer stated, closed their account and will not be re-instating it. The customer is able to withdraw their funds without restriction, but has had some issues doing that. It's completely understandable that this would be upsetting. We're working with them to resolve the issue.

I find it extremely hard to believe that racism does not exist in Latin or South America.
Probably because that would force them and anyone extending Android to license their extensions under the GPL. Phone OEMs would probably keep away from that can of worms.
