I've never met Pieter, but I have enormous respect for him. His writing is some of the most insightful there is, and it changed my thinking on a lot of things, especially outside of computer science.

He finished his book Confessions of a Necromancer recently. It's well worth a read:

I don't really know what to say anymore. I will always admire him.
"For example, seven e-mail chains concern matters that were classified at the Top Secret/Special Access Program level when they were sent and received. These chains involved Secretary Clinton both sending e-mails about those matters and receiving e-mails from others about the same matters. There is evidence to support a conclusion that any reasonable person in Secretary Clinton’s position, or in the position of those government employees with whom she was corresponding about these matters, should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation. In addition to this highly sensitive information, we also found information that was properly classified as Secret by the U.S. Intelligence Community at the time it was discussed on e-mail (that is, excluding the later “up-classified” e-mails)."

This brings up a question, how will fully automated systems deal with temporary detours, the signs for some of which are badly placed and hard to understand by humans, at times. Sometimes it's a construction worker waving confusing indications.

Some detours last just a few minutes or hours, so it's not likely a source of truth map would get updated. Or maybe they would.
> Imagine if you could visit Rome today, and find it still populated by Latin-speaking, toga-wearing Romans.

Maybe no more togas, but isn't this basically true? While for example Spanish is Basquified and French is Germanicified, modern Italian is basically the direct descendant of classical Latin just as Mandarin is a direct descendant of classical Chinese.

Yes, I do think all of their phone calls used for official business should be recorded, perhaps to be classified for a number of years but eventually released.

I would also support the body camera idea, and would like them to wear one even in meetings to discuss classified material. The recordings would be classified, but could eventually be declassified a few decades later.

Think about how much highly relevant American history is still classified. While there are some (narrow) cases where information should be secret for a limited time, I do not think that the public should give up its right to access the communications of elected officials.

In the past, the minutes from a meeting would be recorded and classified. The modern equivalent is recording/archiving/classifying all official conduct.

I'm not saying I want to read HRC's emails, but the idea that there were secret correspondences that she undertook while in office and took pains to hide from the public record should be troubling to all of us. The notion that historians might review the emails after they were declassified in 20 years is enough of a disincentive for corrupt behavior to warrant capturing and preserving the information.

We've seen in the past dozen years that our officials have hidden and classified information simply to avoid embarrassment or as part of a disinformation strategy aimed at the American people. Doing this should not be possible and should not be a temptation to officials when deciding on a course of action.

What part of it do you doubt? Do you want me to prove the suggested meetings at the UN took place? Do you think someone dubbed John Kerry's voice?
I also took Banchoff's class in the early '90's. It was fantastic, and he had a knack for filling multivariable calculus with excitement. I'll never forget his "monkey saddle" graphs.

Ursa Major is a very common constellation. It's identified in many way by many cultures: it's also common it identify it as a plow, cart, or wagon. To me it's just the Big Dipper.

This is sort of like the birthday problem in statistics: It's overwhelmingly unlikely that two specific cultures would at random choose precisely the same identification. But it's extremely likely that of all cultures, there are two would choose the same identification.

Real evidence of cultural contact between Ancient Greece and the Ojibwe would be a major breakthrough. But this is just random similarities.

Thank you for reading the story and completely missing the point while proving it. You seem to assume he would respond how you would respond. He didn't. He had never heard of the company because he had never looked. When I told him about it, he didn't care. When I told him they were possibly over paying, he didn't care. It was trivially easy for me to come up with that info and he had never cared to look at it before and he didn't care to use it when I told him about it. He didn't say any of the things you said. He didn't say anything even close to that. He had no intention of negotiating the price with the company then were likely to settle on. He was apathetic.

*edit: You also seem to have completely overlooked the part where I said it was a combination of his apathy and the way the law works. The two are coincident. Seeking out companies for contracts is risky business as it can trigger collusion / corruption investigations (according to him).

Recall who had access to these servers:

* Platte River Networks -- the entire staff had access to the servers, which were unencrypted

* Datto -- Platte River backed up to cloud service Datto, unencrypted. All Datto employees had access to the documents

* FBI -- the FBI recovered tens of thousands of documents. Many agents were not happy with the Comey's decision

* Employees of the Foundation -- you cannot work in a corporate environment without access to necessary documents

It is entirely possible that one of the above released the documents, but tried to blame it on Russia so that they would not be suspected.
The standards for handling classified materials are extremely strict and there's lots of ways to end up with classified materials in unclassified places that don't rise to the standard of gross negligence.

True, however it seems that all the relevant emails were not necessarily considered by the FBI, so completing the email archive (by adding any missing emails for consideration) would make that conclusion carry a lot more weight in my opinion.
> All message contents are end to end encrypted, so we don't have that information either.

The way I'm reading/understanding this is that they have the encrypted messages, but don't specify whether they are stored. However, since the messages are encrypted, they don't have the message contents/that information. Concluding, they may have all the messages saved, albeit in an encrypted format and with minimal metadata.

Did I come to the right conclusion? Or does Signal not store the encrypted message data either?

The most important thing a company like Google or Apple could do is liberate consumers from the tyranny of phone companies in the US. My device ought not be limited to a single provider. Imagine if this was the case with your computer.

By making devices vendor-locked competition is limited and service costs remain high. Smart phones have been a windfall for phone companies. We are all paying way too much for their services. If competition was open due to device independence, service would be better and costs would come down.

Well, FBI Director Comey basically said she was grossly negligent and that people still in gov/mil service would suffer consequences for doing what she did, but that the FBI was not going to recommend charges because 1) they've only gone after those with clear intent in the past and 2) it would be a difficult case to win.

Reasonable people can read many things into all the data that have been produced as a result, and her culpability is left as an exercise for the humble observer.

> advance public acceptance of the fact that police violence is often racially motivated

I've never been convinced of this "fact", once controlled for economic/social class and culture. I've certainly never seen the numbers controlled for economic/social class, culture, and any residual correlation between crime and race, which is what would be needed to actually conclude that the police were acting racist rather than rational.

Most of the "evidence" for the racial motivation of the violence is based on appeals to emotion and simplistic explanations, both of which are unlikely to capture the reality of the situation, coupled with lots of buzzwords intended to actually shut down conversation about the topic.

The publicity certainly hasn't been enough to prove their point: if police shootings are evenly distributed by total population, a black man should be shot every other day; if police shootings are evenly distributed by violent crime demographics, a black man or two should be shot every day. We're hearing about stories much less frequently than that, which doesn't tell us anything about whether or not it's racist, as opposed to merely militaristic and violent in general.

I think we're a far cry from showing that blacks account for >50% of fatal police shootings AND the discrepancy not being explained by cultural factors (such as being more likely to flee or resist).

Of course, people "feel" things, so why let facts and analysis intrude?

I'm a grad student. I have a workstation in my office. But at home, it's perfect for reading research papers thanks to the high resolution display, the fact that I can disconnect the keyboard, and the included pen which I can use to annotate.

Yes, the iPad can do all that, but I can reconnect the keyboard, and continue using Matlab, or log in remotely to my office machine and continue my office work, or edit spreadsheets/PPTs/thesis in full MS Office. And it's light enough that I can throw it in my backpack "just in case" I need it. Honestly, the being able to disconnect the keyboard thingy seems gimmicky before you get used to it. After you do, it's a godsend.

I hope you're joking. Having all of the correspondence and conduct of our elected officials subject to archival (even if classified for several decades) is a crucial aspect of democratic governance.

Advocate for isn't the same as doing.

In practice, the "get rid of cars" part happens (because it's free), and bike lanes get drawn (because it's effectively free to paint lines). But the transit never gets built (because that would cost money). The net amount of transit capacity drops in most of these changes, even as most cities are experiencing population growth.

For example, this article mentions building superblocks in NYC, while neglecting to mention that NYC subway system has been over capacity for over a year - http://www.wsj.com/articles/new-yorks-subway-system-cant-kee... Superblocks in NYC would literally eliminate transit capacity and replace it with nothing. It's net destruction to capacity. It's suburbanizing an urban environment.

> Traveling by foot is a form of transportation!

I love to walk too, but if walking were a viable option, the cars wouldn't exist in the first place. This isn't some American stripmall being discussed -- Both NYC and Barcelona are already quite dense, and some of the most walkable cities on Earth. If more walking were possible, it would already occur.

And yet, some people are still driving cars there, even though it's already extremely inconvenient to do so. We should be studying why it's occurring, and offering up legitimate alternatives that are better than the current solution.

---

It's a common new urbanist trope, to read some Jane Jacobs and then blame cars for every problem in the entire universe. But cars aren't some evil villain -- they simply represent a person, who needed to go to a place, in a reasonable amount of time.

The best way to eliminate cars is not to punish that person who just wanted to get somewhere efficiently -- they've done no wrong. The best way to reduce cars is to provide better (cheaper, faster, easier, safer) ways to get places that don't require cars, let people voluntarily choose these better options.

New urbanists are great at talking about that. But they're not great at actually doing that. They'd (usually) rather hit people with sticks, than offer up carrots. Which is a shame.

As long as managers have limited budgets and projects have deadlines, then tradeoffs will still have to be made.

Event sourcing is an extremely expensive design pattern to implement, and it's also very easy to get wrong. Implementing it tends to preclude junior developers from working on the project, makes it harder for database admins to understand the data, and it requires a lot of thought on how to structure the events.

So on a project with, say, a £20K budget, it might triple the cost. On a project that would take 4 weeks to implement with CRUD, it might take 3 months with event sourcing. You've got to justify that extra cost. It's better to let a BA decide what they will need, and by all means explain the pros and cons of different solutions.

But I don't for a second believe that every single project should now be using event sourcing instead of CRUD.

These are things I find necessary for day-to-day stuff, but which are simply impossible on iOS. If you want good 3rd party integration, Android is your only option in many cases. You just have to find the good apps.

Introduction to PDF syntax
An example of what would be scandalous is the table of foundation contributions right beside TARP funds; which would imply that the party receives donations from companies in part because these companies received bailouts from the subprime mortgage SNAFU. From the preview there seems to be a pretty close correlation between the size of each company's TARP receipt, and the size of their donation; but that could just be a matter of the size of the company, who knows.

That said, hard to verify if that spreadsheet was legitimately produced by a Clinton Foundation employee for any official purpose.
I have a Nexus 5X and the camera on it is terrible as well.

> Funny how many users are mentioning price as their main reason for dismissing the Pixel

It's easy to make an excellent phone to retail for $700.

It's much less easy to make a good phone to retail for $300.

This means that a lot of people, probably the majority, have to make-do with sub-par, or second-previous-generation from eBay, or order something from the Chinese market.

Hence the cynicism when Google unveiled yet another $700 phone. It's like another 200 mph supercar from Bugatti, pretty to see and technically fantastic but irrelevant to the market as a whole. Next time Google, how about taking-on a challenge?
That would not happen with anything short of a revolution, and I don't mean that as a figure of speech.
Well, your original comment lacks the ethical understanding that you clearly do have.

My own island of autonomy is tinc/unison. Less scalable namespaces, but more straightforward for now.

The only point I disagree on is your last bit. I don't think waiting out the politicians will suffice. Millenial politicians will still be politicians, still desire power in order to "do good", and still pander to the easily-spooked herd. Modern democracy is a centralized beast, just with everybody encouraged to think as a mini-dictator. True freedom isn't merely protecting the average person from surveillance, but also the social outcasts whom the herd would otherwise persecute. That core of that problem really is technological - our communication patterns need to support individual autonomy.
