It's not a good argument because none of the Snowden Documents put individuals at risk. What he did do was disclose massive illegal and illegitimate activity, promulgating awareness of a giant surveillance network with built in parallel construction for the purposes of diplomatic and industrial espionage and mass propaganda.

That put our "military in danger" the same way setting innocent victims of military torture free: yeah, now there are people who are pissed off with legitimate gripes.
Within 2 days of using the techniques in this book my pain started to improve significantly.

My weekly 5-a-side football game is definitely one of the things I miss from working in an office.
One of the authors(Mike Pompeo) is going to be appointed as head of the CIA. I suppose it's natural for him to want to expand surveillance, since it helps him do his job. I hope Trump speaks with Snowden at some point, which seems somewhat more likely given how a whistleblowing organization helped his campaign. I don't really like these surveillance programs.

The one good thing he said was he wants better congressional oversight. It helps him cover his ass, but I suppose it also lets concerned congressmen get more information. I don't know how much information the intelligence committee currently gets, or if the people on that committee are for or against increased surveillance.

I don't mind this guy on the CIA; I'd be more concerned about who's going to head the NSA.

He/she did address an interesting and touchy subject of software development. It could have been more diplomatic, but then also, I'd say, needlessly watered down.

A challenge in software development has long been the division between test and development.

You could do as Microsoft recently did (more or less abolished "test").. the jury is still out on whether that is what has caused the recent Windows 10 quality issues.

Or you could keep a tester/developer separation. Good luck trying to recruit top (e.g. your testers should on average be as smart as your developers) people for the tester positions unless you are Google/Facebook.

Either way, I think this is a really interesting issue.

It should be noted: some pieces of software are a lot easier to test by its developer (say, a compiler) than others (say a GUI).
This seems really cool, but why do they have packages with like 6 difference licenses on their download page?
Oh come on, you're just splitting hairs at this point. Pockets of a few thousand people is, yes, technically survival.

Congratulations, you're "technically correct" — the most useless, pedantically, and antisocial kind of correct.

The original question was "how is 8˚C "not much worse" than 4˚C? Surely you can concede that "tens of thousands of humans" and "zero humans" are not so much different compared to today's "billions of humans".

Oh give me a break. This isn't some inevitable outcome of physics. They purposefully chose growth at the expense of customer support because it enabled them to accomplish more things that they wanted to do. They looked at the nearly infinite margin of their developed product and figured, hey, even if they lose 5% of that due to shitty customer support, 5% approaching infinity is nothing. And they moved on.

Google chose this route because it was the easiest route to take.
caps lock is like the joker in a deck of cards. We need it so we can remap it to ESC (the ace of spades of keys).
Obviously a vocal departure is the easy way to enforce public outcry, but I'm not sure a quiet one is as useless as this suggests.

There are certainly some fundamentally-broken things that will happen as long as anyone is willing to do them - I don't expect spammers and ad fraudsters to disappear because a few programmers quit in a burst of ethics. But Yahoo wasn't dependent on unethical behavior, they had a (somewhat) viable business doing reasonable work.

Those are the companies susceptible to quiet moral stands. They're not dependent on ethical lapses to survive, so they can push back on them and continue to exist. And they're big, wealthy companies that spend lots of money on getting good programmers, so if some of those talented programmers say "screw this" and quit, it's a problem even if they can replace the missing bodies.

None of this addresses the last point - I don't expect people to starve over this, and I imagine most would stick around until they had a new job lined up. But I do think that pushing back on these companies can help even if there are people willing to do the dirty work.

LKML gets hundreds of messages every day. When I used to read it I had a set of search filters to prioritize it. Anything I didn't get to I simply marked Read. There's no way to catch everything on there.

I set up my new domain email address as an email forwarder to Gmail, and used it like that for nearly a year. When signing up for things, I'd just use that address instead of the Gmail address.

When I moved to FastMail, I set up that email address to go to FastMail instead. Most of my inbound mail instantly came with it. It's been a couple weeks, I still get stuff on my Gmail. So I check it once or twice a day still at the moment, and when I get something from some website, I go log into that account, and change my email address.
Why not Monero? Why not Ethereum? The reasons stated aren't very consistent.
Why is this troubling? Before we had today's military-style old-school authoritarian corporate structure, Artisan guild economies were very family-like.

It's not under-compensation if the worker is getting more of what they want. Even Žižek says that the authoritarian style assumes that you know what the workers want more than they know themselves, and you're assuming that they want monetary compensation more.
I for one very much dislike the three column design. If you're like me and try to maintain "Inbox Zero", and archive everything useless or not requiring a reply in the immediate future, then a UI like this is wasted as there ends up being a very empty column in the centre.

Further, in tiling setups (tiling WM or just having more than one full-screen window open at once on one screen), this approach is even more wasteful, as you may not have 100% of your screen width to accommodate such a UI. TI get that people want more and more of their interfaces to be consistent with the "simple" mobile app design from the last 2-5 years, however I can't help but feel that the re-design provided by the article is more suited for people with vastly different email usages. As another comment has said, keep options open.
As for group messages, are you sure that it is not that the iPhones are sending them to your Apple ID?
The 'phone number portability' of email is you owning the domain, and pointing the mx record to whatever mail provider you like. To switch providers you simply register an account somewhere else and change your dns record.

By starting with an "@gmail.com" address you willingly give that up, but that's not the system's fault.

I read the first one, and it was incredibly interesting, but mostly from the cultural and historical perspectives. The "magic" bit I referenced seemed ... overpowered and yet underused. It's incredibly difficult to imagine an intelligence that can come up with that, but not extrapolate any further.

Potential spoiler alert: Using that particular plot device to fool scientists into believing the laws of physics weren't constant struck me as ludicrous. The part where physicists start committing suicide instead of seeing this as the start of a revolution in their understanding of the universe was almost plausible by comparison.

I need to read the second two, but I heard that the translations aren't as good :/

What information did he release that risked any danger to the public? He released information to the public that made them realize the government has been abusing their freedoms. Any US secret spying programs that were compromised should have been compromised. You're saying peoples' arguments for Snowden say the ends justify the means but that logic is the only reason the programs exist in the first place. Is that an adequate rebuttal?

ownCloud, or nowadays NextCloud [1], is still the best solution I have, hosted on a private virtual server. It's not a drop-in replacement for sure -- I'm basically prepared to do a full clean reinstall each time I want to upgrade -- but they have desktop and Android clients, and it's working just fine. Of course, I also have a separate backup of all the files.

Cycling the streets of London, yes! I loved that. Did a Putney to Canary Wharf commute for about 6 years. Weaving in between traffic that's stuck fast is wonderful.

Even when I got a soaking it didn't really matter, you get so wet you can't get much wetter and then get home and have a warm shower.

It was also a great way of getting rid of tension. If you're angry you pedal harder and go faster which is more fun, so breaks any vicious cycle.

I really like #2 "Prepare your tasks". I wrote a series of small scripts on my laptop that I can run from the terminal. All the files, applications, and webpages I need for assignment x are opened in a few seconds and I can immediately start working on it. It's small and unremarkable but it really helps me to get beyond the mental block that makes starting work seem daunting.

The Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic mouse is semi-vertical (this might depend on how you hold it) and tracks better than the Evoluent mouse I was using before, although the ergonomics are probably not as good. The build quality is also better IMO than the Anker / Sharkk vertical mice popular on Amazon.

California defines nexus broadly:

Maintaining, occupying or using any type of office, sales room, warehouse or other place of business in California. This includes use that is temporary, indirect or through an agent or other representative.
Having any kind of representative operating in the state for the purpose of taking orders, making sales or deliveries, installing, or assembling tangible personal property.
All of these points of advice work even if you don't do startups. Raising kids, having a job, a life, a home all need your attention.

It's just generically good advice. Take a look at #4. So many people either just throw up their hands early on a problem (I'll just ask the guru on this subject a generic question - which, if I'm that guru - I know is a time sink), or just assume no one can help them and don't ask. I know I'm guilty of both at times.

One of my mantras to break the back of #4 and #5 is:

Get out of your comfort zone. If it feels uneasy - maybe you're just pushing your boundaries.

So what? The spirit and the letter of the law are what matters. Not what the system uses it for. That's like saying that because civil forfeiture has been used for a certain purpose, it must be the correct purpose!

Is that what you're saying?

> White folks so rarely experience racism...

Oh, well thank you once again for speaking on behalf of every single person in one racial group!

I'm not sure you know what racism means. It's the belief that all members of a given race have certain characteristics or abilities specific to that race (especially where it shows inferiority/superiority relative to other races).

Given that (correct) definition, do you really think white folks don't experience racism in any way?

Tell me, what characteristics or abilities are ascribed to white people that supposedly makes them superior?

Also, have you never heard a black or latin comedian making fun of supposed white characteristics that make them seem "uncool", "nerdy" or "not hip"?

Look....it's obvious that you don't know what you're talking about. You're just flinging accusations about.
There's little to no liability in most situations. Security experts have been pushing for liability for a long time as a solution to this. Basically, we want a minimum level of responsibility like what exists in safety-critical industries. Schneier has a brief essay that explains it well:

> No company that uses a double Irish tax structuring scheme to avoid paying billions has any right to cast guilt on consumers who legally purchase phones and take advantage of minor arbitrage opportunities.

What guilt is being cast here exactly? The company used automated tools to disable accounts that were found to breach their ToS, likely the majority of which were bots.

I mean it's one thing to complain if these people were false positives, but they actually weren't.

What happened to these people sucks. I get that. But you make it sound as if someone at Google specifically targeted these people's accounts on purpose, when it's significantly more likely that they were just trying to disable bot accounts for scalpers and didn't realize some people were using their real accounts to help scalpers.

Do you think they are stupid enough to not realize how bad the backlash from this would be?

This and the book in the comment previous have both been helpful to me, along with good physiotherapists who understand trigger point release.

I use a split keyboard with a graphics tablet in the middle and a mouse either side of the keyboard - this gives me a good variation of hand position. Right hand mouse is vertical.

I find stretching, weights and cardio to be beneficial. The stretching helps to keep the nerves free from impingement, the cardio keeps a good blood flow, and the weights are rebuilding strength and muscle that atrophied during the year where it was too painful to use my hands & arms.

Thanks everyone in this thread for sharing your techniques - it's always good to hear what other people find effective.

The real solution is we should only work 30 hour weeks. Try telling that to your boss though, it's often hard enough to get an ergonomic pencil.

>Claiming that it's "just an experiment" is not acceptable when people's money is on the line, at best, and where their lives might hang in the balance, at worst.

Claiming it is just an experiment means that people should NOT use it when serious money or human lives are on the line. I think we can both agree that people should wait for a technology to mature before betting their life on it.
No, SETI isn't QA or "Test Engineering" at other companies. SETI at Google is like any other infra team, except they specialize in testing infrastructure. All devs write their own tests.

You can think of it like the engineers behind rspec vs people who use it. Or the engineers behind Selenium, etc. They're engineers first and foremost and while you're free to have the opinion that this line of engineering is "meaningless and trite" at Google SWEs really appreciate the tools SETI teams build.

Nevertheless, we're still for some reason comparing to a terrible transit system, the SF Muni. As usual, if you compare car driving to a terrible transit system, you conclude transit sucks.

Pulling your own avionics is legal if your airplane is experimental. If you want to hack your airplane, you should clearly have an experimental, not a certified one.

It is my understanding that, in an experimental, you can even legally fly IFR with a GPS you built yourself, as long as it complies with the performance standards and you document the test data that verifies that it does so. Whether it's wise to do so is a different question.
> And all of these signals exist at present, but as soon as Facebook starts suppressing posts based on machine classification then obviously fake news publishers will adapt and it won't work anymore. The only reliable identifying factor of fake news is that it reports facts that aren't.

Replace "news" with "email" and your argument remains the same. But spam filtering is working and working well right now with less signals to classify on.

> To speculate, perhaps part of it a lack of respect for the hard work of real journalism, education, and geniune political dialogue, so the fantasy of surfacing all the crap from social media and then extracting the ground truth with a magical algorithm appeals to some people despite being a completely hopeless idea.

Why are you ranting about synthesizing real news from social media? The problem I specifically mentioned was identifying fake news articles.

> What you're actually arguing for is the negative twin of today's filter bubble effect.

If you do not understand the difference between recommendation and classification you should not be arguing right now. It is a subtle and important distinction. Your argument is about as subtle as "computers can't solve it!"

> It's concerning to me that the relatively intelligent folks here could be taking this at all seriously.

In what substantive way is "fake news trying to get you to vote for a particular politician" different from "fake email trying to get you to buy fake pills"?
That depends entirely on their estimate of whether "specialized training in weapons and tactics" is a signal for or against being a potential person of interest.

This is a domain of probability, there are rigorous ways to deal with that. Bringing up "nothing to hide" isn't a rational response. Whether or not something constitutes a good signal does not depend on rhetorics! Math doesn't care about what some celebrity said at some point.
