There may not be a legal reason he couldn't release them now (I don't know if he claimed there was), but there is probably a political reason.

My guess:

There are probably some questionable things on the return. Perhaps they're perfectly legal, but there's no doubt that anything out of the ordinary is going to be scrutinized by the public, therefore, if he waits until the audit is complete, it gives him another leg to stand on in defending his legality (provided they don't find anything in the audit).

Yeah, that's the worst.
> If this happens, do I get benefits on the debt I've already paid off? I would be pretty pissed if I didn't. I worked my ass off to pay my loans.

That's not going to happen because it's politically easier to continue to subsidize failure than to draw the line on this bullshit and reward sensible hard working people like you.
Utterly touched reading about Kazemi: remarkable that one of her (alleged) murderers was charged with and later acquitted of "semi-intentional murder." What does that even mean? Is it even possible to "half intentionally and half accidentally" murder someone in your care/custody? I gather that this is a concept operational within Quranic law and is generally intended to apply to deaths that resulted from an action that would not threaten a life, but that definition cannot be reconciled with the fact that Kazemi had been so violently assaulted and horrifically murdered (and the unapologetic cover-up and sham trial that ensued). As a Kenyan youth, I hardly know anyone that has not been arrested by the police at one point in their lives (and this is, sadly, the case for many other young men in other parts of the country as well). As such, I have personally heard horror stories from women that I know who have endured unspeakable treatment at the hands of the almighty Kenyan Police Service- it seems that justice touches all races and all countries, except, if you believe it, North Korea, the Land of Human Achievement, Love and Joy. A lot has already been said about such circumstances and a lot more has to said to fight this particular form of injustice. One wonders how many Kazemis and Malekpours and Njoroges it would take to succeed.
It will be eventually, yep, but not quite yet. We've already built the majority of this technology, but we're still missing bits and pieces for true collaborative editing, so we've got this "turned off" for now.

History isn't over, and I think it's worth considering the possibility that threat environments change, too. Perhaps there isn't a single, simple criterion that fits all cases.

If we had a benevolent artificial intelligence and the data were locked away from any humans, I'd be OK with that.

Unfortunately, humans ruin a lot of things that would otherwise be pretty good.

For instance, this kind of data would also make it far easier to frame someone, since you'd be able to craft your story around the narrative of their actions.

Sorry for the late reply (just skimming through past comments) and I agree completely. I was a moderate smoker for maybe ~18 years (average half a pack a day) and tried switching to a vaporizer back around 2009. Back then all I could really find were the old 510 "cigalike" things and the batteries and vapor production were terrible so they just left me wanting a smoke.

A few years ago I had a nasty cold - the kind I got way too often and could never seem to shake - and decided I was gonna give it another shot. By that time, the pen-style devices had come out and over the course of a couple weeks, I'd completely switched over. Since then the change has been very noticeable. Haven't had a single real cold or other respiratory issue since then and I mix my own liquid with about 3mg/ml nicotine as opposed to the old 12-18mg/ml stuff I'd started out with.

At this point I could probably wean myself off completely but for the time being I've settled into a habit of occasional use of low level vaporized nicotine in my own liquid so I can control what flavor agents are used. No doubt less healthy than only breathing fresh country air but much better experience than smoking 8-12 cigs a day.

At this point quitting nicotine entirely feels more like quitting coffee due to the habituation and very minor health toll of daily caffeine intake. Either way, thanks for your input. It can be difficult to find discussions online that aren't either vape "boosters" or breathless demonizers whose information is limited to gut feelings or dodgy PSAs.
There are other ways to block ads besides this one solution. The web ad delivery mechanism is brittle.

But when will this game end?

Advertisers should just pay consumers (users). Why bother with a middleman?

Request for Project (RFP): Let all users sign up to be paid by advertisers. (This is not a new idea.) Sign up with enough advertisers and one can have "universal basic income".

Users should not be giving away their time for free. Every time a web advertiser distracts a user, they are "stealing" the user's time.

Advertisers pay for this privilege. But they do not pay the users. They pay off someone -- you know who -- to help them steal users' time.

Just pay the damn users. Enough of this silly game.

Added benefit: It would open up the search engine market and social networking (photo database) market to competition and innovation.
>This is the definition of a Hash Function. Not a cryptographic Hash Function.

No, a hash function is just any function which can be used to put values into a hash map. If your inputs are numbers, modulo will work fine as a hash function, but is obviously not one-way.

>Cryptographic Hashes should NEVER collide, on any inputs, ever, period.

This is obviously not possible, as the output of the cryptographic hash function is of fixed-length while the input is variable-length. Finding collision just needs to be hard, not impossible.
The idea that everything must be in California to matter dying is a good thing for everyone except those in California who refuse to change. Maybe people will realize you can do most technology jobs from anywhere in the world.

No one is at the top forever, that includes the US.
Part of the problem is that the last few generations have been told the same thing: blue collar jobs aren't "good" jobs. You need to go to college so you can get a "good" job sitting at a desk because those other jobs are below you. If you take one of those blue collar jobs then you've failed and aren't "achieving your potential".

The grand irony in all of this is that the people who did go on to become plumbers, electricians, mechanics, roofers, HVAC specialists, etc, are all the ones that are currently in huge demand. And over the next 20 - 30 years they're the ones that aren't going to be automated (well ... mechanics may become less relevant with electric cars rising in popularity). As much as I'd love to automate remodeling my kitchen I'm not holding my breath on seeing it happen any time soon.
You can Google the headline of any WSJ article, click the result, and it'll let you through.
It's more likely he's using it as an excuse. Trump was reportedly very critical of Romney releasing his returns (and the subsequent hit Romney took because of his decision to release them).
Perhaps the solution is bilateral surveillance which is to say a database of all the interactions of everyone who works in government which can be consulted by people outside of government when they suspect the government employee may be engaged in criminal activity.

I mention that because there is mounting evidence that police wearing always on body cams really curbs complaints about police brutality and excessive force. Now some of that is clearly people who realize that if their behavior is shown they won't be able to sustain the argument that the police action was unwarranted. However, evidence is accumulating that police are less likely to engage in risky or borderline unethical behavior when they know they are being monitored.

The bottom line is better governance with fewer complaints and that is a good thing for everyone involved.
It's true that Java took a long time to develop (good) concurrent collections, but I will suggest that they're more important in 2016 than they were in 1995. Core counts are increasing, and the competition from other languages is better.

I'm not saying we should be disgusted if there aren't immediately awesome concurrent data structures, but you can't be satisfied with waiting until 2024 (the equivalent of Java 1.5, I believe).
I was predicting this from the "optics" of Snowden being a fake defector and feeding us precisely what the security establishment wanted the world to hear and know, whether the leak was truth or disinformation.

I maintain that the fake Snowden proposition is excellent news and should be seriously considered. It means they have run out of near realtime computation power and are drawning in data. :) If that is true, then

(a) Good news :)

I agree with the overall assessment of goals, but I don't think I agree that the surveillance tools are at odds with them.

> At its founding we decided it's better to let guilty people go free than to put innocent people behind bars

Ubiquitous surveillance record makes it easier to discern the facts of an event. It makes it less likely that the innocent will be put behind bars (relative to the alternative solutions of faulty witness memory and after-the-fact narrative construction).

I also believe that the improved economies in those nations will lead to wage increases. That will, in turn make it less profitable to outsource to those nations. In turn, that will hopefully bring more jobs back to the U.S. Sounds like a win-win really.

OK, then I will use a complicated, slow and unstable machinery that depends on lots of kernel features, to run a simple, self-contained and fast compiler?

And think, Go was created with intent for faster builds. My bigger go project builds faster than `docker run` starts up...

The author forget to say that this way docker will setup a network namespaces, bridge, mount a unionfs (overlayfs, aufs, etc), lots of other things, make a chroot and then finally execute the go tool...

And Go doesn't even need to be installed on the OS, it can be placed anywhere, you only need to set the GOROOT env var. (For bash-users, the gvm script automate the build/download of every go version you want in your $HOME)

The only point of the article is when you're not a Go programmer and want to test some Go project...

Just out of curiosity – does Snowden have material that hasn't yet been released to the press/public?

I imagine that a hurdle to pardoning him would be that there is potentially content that would be too egregious not to charge him, which has yet to be released.

If he were pardoned, and that material were released, would he be immune to prosecution? This sounds like a thorny thing to try to figure out, or maybe it's really obvious :)
> It's bizarre that student debt has become the norm and students who have potentially low-earning majors such as History are still given similar amounts of money from banks as a CS major.

Not so bizarre when you consider that student loans are very difficult to get discharged via bankruptcy. The loan issuers don't need to worry so much about whether you'll be able to pay it back or not, because it's more a question of "when" than "if".

IMO, a large chunk of this would be resolved if federal loans where limited based on tuition not just need. If a school charges more than ~20k/year then students can't apply for federal loans and private loans become dischargeable.

Note: Some schools still charage less than 10k/year. http://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/the-short-list...

Instead, schools have a huge incentive to raise tuition endlessly and family's are stuck playing a zero sum reputation game.
There's a possibility that he's a persistent prolific offender. A very small number of people require intense monitoring because they're involved in very many crimes.

While you what say is true, countries compete for talent/jobs/economy. Its not like US thinks we have had enough of talent, so let China and India prosper. The point the author is making is that, the USA should compete for talent by easing rules, giving PR's to talented individuals.
counter point: blocking ads is self-defense and defense of others, including one's family. it is everyone's ethical duty to block all ads, because a non-trivial and unpredictable portion of ads contain hostile, abusive, invasive and/or subversive content. this can lead to loss of data, loss of time, loss of money and loss of privacy.

<post class="devils-advocate"/>

And yet, that information is not forthcoming, and those hypotheses effectively infinite.

"Guilty secret" is an uncharitable reading of the parent post, I'd say more out of the realm of scientific inquiry and more the philosophical. It's like asking "what was there before time existed?" - the scientific answer is null because that's a nonsense question - "before" implies the existence of a "time" to count it.

And yet, if the universe suddenly exists at T+0:00, it'll be impossible for science to understand the conditions at T-0:01 because that information does not exist given consensus understanding of time.

Still, we can comprehend the concept of "before time existed" on some abstract level, but the sciences cannot, absent some external source of information that a scientist must necessarily reject until it appears.

Either I'm numb to all the "data" that's out there or I don't really understand the threat. But I'm feeling a bit "meh" about all of these reports.

Don't get me wrong, the use of personal data for vendettas and retaliation is clearly wrong and should be prosecuted.

So yea, I don't like misuse of data, but simply having data that they collected no longer seems bad to me. And if it was warrantless then it's inadmissible anyhow, right?

If you don't want them "taking" your info, just don't speak to them. That's your right. And if you make the data publicly available on the internet, they scrap it, and you get upset, isn't that the same as distributing free pamphlets and getting annoyed at the police for taking a couple and photocopying them?

Is Framery one of your ads? The way you have it it feels like a link to another one of your own products. That's in part because you have content that is relevant and the layout gives the suggestion that they are tied to your product.

That's awesome. I like the fact that you are able to make this feasible and that you advertise based on your content and not your user. Kudos.
There are very few companies that keep salaries secret from managers. My manager knows exactly how much I make and how much everyone under me makes. His manager has the same visibility a level higher. What he doesn't know is how much his peers make or how much anyone in his peers' orgs make.

Salary secrecy can't really extend to managers unless you want your managers to do a poor job rewarding people. How's it supposed to work when someone comes to their manager and asks for a raise? "I think I'm underpaid and want a 10% raise." "Well, I don't know what you or anyone else makes so I have no idea if you're underpaid. Deal with it I guess."

I was basing my guess on the fact that he's claimed that he will release them after the audit is complete.

Of course, there's always the possibility he's just saying that in hopes that we will have forgotten about it by then or that the election will have already taken place.

Straight up saying that he is never going to release them would probably be a big problem, which could explain the attempt to slide away from it, if the above theory is true.
