> "I've volunteered to go to prison with the government many times," Snowden said in an interview with the BBC that aired Monday. "What I won't do is I won't serve as a deterrent to people trying to do the right thing in difficult situations."

Let me try to summarize your argument.

1) Google posted about putting healthier snacks closer to eye level in employee kitchens.

2) Unsubstantiated claim that Google has a corrupt influence on the US Government.

3) Google Ideas helped create a visualization of Syrian officials who publically opposed the government for the newspaper Al Jazeera: http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/interactive/syriadefections...

Therefore, Google is manipulating search results in favor of Hillary Clinton.

It is difficult for me to believe that you take your own arguments seriously
On windows, I have capslock mapped thusly:

If pressed and released without another keypress in between, it sends ESC.

If pressed in combination with another key, it's CTRL.

I haven't found a way to do this dual mapping on OSX, so it's just CTRL there. I use AutoHotKey for this on windows.
This is the kind of accident that should not happen in a car with all those sensors. Even without engaging autopilot the car should slow down and stop instead of ramming full speed into a stationery object on the road.
It is, which is a big part of my decision to move from SD to Austin in two weeks. I make the same salary and cost of living is ~30% less.
The idea is that one peer "teaches" the other the language. It's a learning experience. And what we saw it's that the language it's not an barrier at the moment :)
I'm dying to hear how Blue Origin is more sustainable than SpaceX.
Well that disagrees with what I have seen. You can say it is correlation and that those are somehow born with the biggot gene can't escape poverty. I think it works the other way, poverty amplifies and accentuates biggotry, rasim, sexims and any other -ism.

This is based on living in other countries, mostly in US though, in both poor and rich communities, some were diverse poor and diverse rich.
Well the fact that you are diverting discussion of the content of your quote through claiming that quoting it was not an endorsement of its sentiment -- a claim I still find specious at best under these circumstances -- seems to suggest that you are not confident in its validity. Is this the case? Because that's understandable, and we'd get a lot further in this discussion through recognizing it rather than not and continuing to avoid saying whether or not you actually believe what you quoted.
I think it goes beyond population control. Simply removing the mice might not be enough. They have to see and fear the cat. Some have to be successful in avoiding the cat. They may develop behaviors and social order specifically to address the cat threat. Disappearing individuals randomly might have a radically unnatural impact.

With humans, it's also not as simple as population control. The presence of other species, even predators, is a cornerstone of our evolution and culture. We are afraid of the dark for a reason. We protect our kids from the unknown for a reason. We keep dogs as guards for a reason. A world truly without predators might result in very different culture. I'm often taken aback by how people who live in regions without large predators (UK, Japan) differ in their views on nature from those who walk beside predators every day (Canada/Australia).

Talk to a tourist on a beach about shark attacks. Then talk to a surfer. The former has strong opinions but isn't under any real threat. The later is often much more tolerant of sharks despite the increased risk (see Australia's shark cull debates). Even a slight but real risk of dangerous predators, imho, gives one a much greater respect for nature.
Only one other player stands out as much. It seems silly to say that either should have been an accountant, because if he were, then the same arguments would apply to the other.

Once, at 2:30 AM in Arizona, I executed a legal right-on-red via a rolling stop. The streets were empty, and I endangered no one. This is not a contested fact.

But an officer, unidentifiable in the dark some hundred feet behind me, cited me for "not stopping at a red light" due to the fact my vehicle did not come to a complete stop.

Arizona has a state law, named after an unfortunate little girl killed by an asshole who blew through a red light, which makes any "red light violation" an automatic 3 points on your license and applies some certain minimum fine. (8 points triggers a suspension.)

Now despite the fact that there is an entire world of difference between (A) running a red light into cross traffic and (B) performing a California stop at an empty intersection, when I showed up to contest the ticket, the judge mocked me for my suggestion that, as I had endangered no one and not been reckless, I had not violated the spirit of the law and that the ticket should be dismissed. I had to pay the fine and accept the points. State law.

"Irrational" may well be the word I should have used, but it changes nothing. What purpose, indeed, was served by such a strict interpretation of the law?
It doesn't scale though. I live in SD (moving to Austin) and the cost of living to income ratio is simply better elsewhere.
You've composed a logically fallacious argument. To do so, you've assumed that the premise of that sentence in the House letter is that everything Snowden stole pertains to lawful activities. But that's not the case. Rather, among the many things Snowden took are numerous documents pertaining to lawful intelligence activities.

Since the majority of the documents in the Snowden cache have not been disclosed, it appears that the facts are on House Intelligence's side with respect to that specific statement, and you cannot therefore use it as evidence that Snowden was required to leak directly to the press.

You can still believe leaking to the press was a good thing! You just can't justify it with the specific argument you made.

He's comparing it to Unity, which makes no sense to me at all. If there was a statement more like comparing apples to oranges, I haven't heard of it yet.
Fair enough. You obviously have more experience in this area than I do.
They probably use government subsidized roads to deliver their goods, too. The freeloaders.
There is a George T. Haymaker Jr. who "served as an Executive Vice President of Alumax Inc. from 1984 to 1986 and Vice President of International Operations at Alcoa Inc. from 1982 to 1984" [0].

His profile at Genstar Capital includes what seems like a recent photo [1].

Is that who you're thinking of?

I am not saying it's not possible. I meant it's interesting to think about it as concept.
They also can't borrow at negative real interest rates. Only some governments can. And you can't blame the governments for low interest rates. At least in the medium term, interest rates are mostly set by the market, supply and demand for loans. There's not a lot of demand.
Probably useful to mention this in the comments here: this works for the 5c, but not the 6 and beyond, due to the addition of the Secure Enclave.
That's one thing I've always thought when people claimed microservices followed "the UNIX philosophy". UNIX doesn't even follow that philosophy, it's a monolith! Yet it's also a modular system, which is possible without being either a microkernel or microservices.
It would have cost the agencies a lot more though (contracting fees), I highly doubt they'd have the technical capabilities to handle this. But it just goes to show that they didn't really reach out and were simply using it as a means to push their backdoor agenda. :(
Actually no, it still isn't.
There are 23 signatures, and it's easy to find several of the minority's members among them. It looks to me like every member of House Intelligence signed.
you are right, it shouldn't be one way, and workplaces should actively educate what the issues are. You shouldn't be expected to just know everything, especially as it is a bit of a moving target.
Believe it or not, there are different motivations people have for choosing their careers. Some become footballers because they want to rake in as much money as Beckham, others because they enjoy football so much that they decide that's what they want to do all the time. I'm pretty sure most people don't have just one overriding motivation for what they do, but an amalgam of different factors. Your statement about maximizing profit as a primary motivator is less of a factual statement and more of a revelation about your own motivations.
If you're going to leak 1.5 million documents and flee to China on the grounds of being a whistleblower after following proper channels, wouldn't you want to display some, any sort of proof that you indeed did attempt to follow the proper channels?

People claim this dude was a genius, make him out as some sort of tech/hacker savant, so why not make the slightest effort to show the world you really are a whistleblower?

Or at the very least, more humble.
Yes, which is exactly why the report harps on the fact that he did leave and got stuck flying between the US's two biggest political rivals. The NSA didn't put Snowden in that position, he put himself in it. Staying in the US would have certainly involved personal sacrifices from Snowden and he may not trust he would receive a fair trial. However that is why whistle blowers are celebrated. They but themselves at risk for the greater good. And you can't just say the ends justify the means for Snowden potentially giving up information to the Russians because that is the exact logic people inside the NSA use for this type of mass surveillance in the first place. Two core attributes of civil disobedience are about establishing a moral or ethical high ground and then facing the repercussions that come from your actions. Snowden appears to have failed on both of those accounts.

I grew up in SD too.. employment opportunities in general outside defense and tourism is not great. Neither is the pay. As the old joke goes, they pay you in sunshine.
One of the major charms of pixel art is that it is so poor at being "HD" that it doesn't get to express HD content. For instance, you can't look at Link's face and tell what emotion he's feeling. This is good thing! This makes it easy for the player to imprint their own emotions on the character. He feels what you feel because the only feelings there are your own.

But when you dig in with this excruciatingly detailed expressive pixel art style, you lose that charm. You're expressing what HD images already can express, and it feels like you've just made a pixelated HD image.
We also have statements from Snowden suggesting that the reason he took the job was to gain access to those documents and them disseminate them to various world governments, which is a goal that would be impeded by whistleblowing through channels.
I don't know about that, Musk has that effect on some of the best people, and his effect, due to his status, is very strong.

I'm actually highly concerned about Musk's overall effect on society, specifically due to the kind of people he'll have that effect on.
Wish they'd try harder to act more like firemen than BDSM masters/mistresses. Might get some respect. If you become a thug because you think that's what thugs will respond to what's the fecking point?

Hmm... You may be correct - and I apologize for my failing memory! I was freaking twelve when I heard him say this...

George may be correct - I'll have to ask my dad now.

While people have posted the listed CEOs of ALCOA in the 80s - I know that for certain he was head of ALCOA. My dad built his freaking house and I worked on it with John Haymaker (who my dad was required to employ during the build of his house on the Truckee River in Tahoe so his kid (the one who is now an architect) could get some build experience)...

But I stand by my comment... those statements were made.

Here it is:

"Mr. Haymaker was Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kaiser Aluminum Corporation from January 1994 through December 1999, and was Non-Executive Chairman of that company from October 2001 until July 2006. Prior to joining Kaiser, he served in executive positions for Alcoa Inc., and Alumax Inc."
>If someone wants to be a 'blub' programmer than SD is probably no worse than any other place

Weird, I always considered web devs who do little more than paste together abstractions written by other people to solve easy problems and then go talk about how awesome they are for doing it at meetups 'blub' programmers.
> Personally I feel this is the worst thing you can do to co-worker.

How about actually raping them?
This is the main issue.

Treason is a political crime. Snowden committed a crime to reveal much bigger crime and danger to constitution and American people. He didn't benefit from it personally.

Legal system or constitution is not end-all. Laws just approximate what is considered morally correct action and their interpretations often follow little behind the changes. Big positive changes in society often start with breaking the law. Snowden may be legally traitor now but in the deeper sense he did not betray his country.

I'm pretty sure in a zero-sum game (e.g. Our market reality), this is the opposite of true.

The main benefit of the death penalty is not deterrence, it is eugenic. Remove all of the irrationally violent from the gene pool for a few generations and you will soon have a population so much less prone to violent crime that you will forget why you had a death penalty in the first place. Until, that is, you start importing foreigners that have never had the violent culled from them, and all hell breaks loose in want of a solution that doesn't sound "racist."

To be blunt, this is one of the most fundamental differences between the most successful ethnic groups, and the least.
People still buy plenty of Fords. Far, far more Fords than Teslas. What are you taking about?
Is it generally true that "younger candidate more easily managed by less experienced (cheaper) manager"?

I'm a relatively inexperienced "manager" (team lead) and I have had staff both younger and older (I'm currently 36). Although my sample set is small I have strongly found my older hires much easier to manage. They understand how "work" works, what's expected, and don't mind dealing with the bureaucratic crap (that I can't do anything about). I really just want someone who doesn't mind coloring inside the lines and plays well with others.

In my limited experience, the younger candidates like to "go their own way" and are more strongly emphasizing resume building so they want to make major changes not out of strong technical reasons but simply because it "would be neat" to try it out.
Yes, the first computer keyboards I used had both shift lock and caps lock.

If I miss anything, I would like it if shift + caps lock, behaved the same as shift lock.

Until 2000-something (and they might still have it) the Harwich MA public library had a rotary phone that patrons could use to make calls. The typical use case was middle schoolers who's parents forgot to pick them up (the middle school ran a bus to the library) when the library was 30min from closing.

Welcome to the world of software development, where you get wonderful 'offers' like:

1.) I have an idea to build the $hot_startup of $sketchy_vertical. Just sign this NDA, build the whole thing for me and I'll give you 0.01%. It will be huge!!

2.) I have an idea and I'm this close to raising a sees round from $famous_investor. I just need you to build a simple (fully functional) proof of concept. I'll give you a great job after I raise the cash.

3.) Can't you just build this? It should be easy for you...
Let's count the ways this is broken: IPv6 is off by default (and it sounds like some builds don't have it at all). To enable it, you have to enable two settings (presumably if you only enable one you'll end up with half-broken IPv6). Firewalling is not included. There's no mention of prefix delegation, but there's plenty of instructions for configuring deprecated 6to4 or deprecated tunnel brokers.
Yeap, this was my average speed over all my weekly mileage. My long run would range from 7:00 to 7:30 pace and would top out at 13 to 15 miles. My easiest runs were about 8:00 and my fast pace (probably 6 or less miles per week) was from 6:10 to 6:30. I would say I did seem to run my overall mileage faster than people that would destroy me in races (which is probably why I'm injured).

The 7:30 pace had my heart rate at 145 on flat ground in cool weather at age 40 for a 13 mile run which from what I understand is the right pace.
Two that were mentioned explicitly in the article:

1. Permanently storing data on devices under surveillance.

2. Selectively degrading service for a target device.

Try looking for results where the Google car is driving off-road. There aren't any. That's because it can't drive off-road. It can't, because it needs its environment to be fully mapped. In other words: it's not about the sensors.

This should make, er, sense. Sensing your surroundings is only the first step in taking complex decisions based on those surroundings. The AI field as a whole has not yet solved this, so there's no reason to expect that self-driving cars have.

Seen another way, if self-driving cars could really drive themselves at least as good as humans drive them, we wouldn't have compilations of videos of robots falling off while trying to turn door knobs, on youtube.

The state of the art in AI is such that self-driving cars are not yet less dangerous than humans.

My point is how do you pardon someone for whistleblowing when literally 99.99% of what they took from a classified space has nothing to do with what they were supposedly blowing the whistle on?
> Making generalizations from a set of interviewees is very risky - because interviewees are very, very different from the general population.

While I agree with this statement, the ageism I think is plaguing the Valley is an interviewing/HR/hiring issue, as it is in that process that their confirmation bias is being reinforced there when they bring the old dogs through the door.

FWIW the best engineers I have ever worked with, in my opinion, always seem to be the ones ten years or so ahead of where I am. They're the ones I am always learning something from.

A note -- if you're linking to arXiv, it's better to link to the abstract (https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.04327) rather than directly to the PDF. From the abstract, one can easily click through to the PDF; not so the reverse. And the abstract allows one to do things like see different versions of the paper, search for other things by the same authors, etc. Thank you!
