The change is that the CBP agent will now look at your past public twitter statements, and (if facebook lets them) the semi-private communications of your known associates, and then use that to decide if they should detain you, deny access, etc. I imagine this will be implemented in a questionable fashion, like keyword search or "deep" learning, since the agent won't have time to actuall read stuff for each traveller.

So, you find yourself stranded in an airport because some acquaintance you haven't talked to since high school made an anti-American comment (typoed "top" as "tpp" next to an expletive) and shared it with their facebook friends. This will clearly have a chilling effect on freedom of speech (and Trump says he wants to add some border test to make sure you have "American values" shudder). Anyway, your business trip is cancelled, so you can't do your job moving forward and have no recourse.

The fact that they are looking at this stuff for foreign travelers is already way outside historical standards for acceptable government behavior. In all likelihood, they will/are running similar tests against US citizens for things like the terrorist watch list (and they want to expand the implications of being on that list, taking away more constitutional rights without trial, or any sort of due process).

I would love to see those studies! I'm struggling to imagine how you'd even find a random sample of do-gooders, let alone measure their effect on their communities.
One thing about some of those elite institutions, Columbia, Penn, Chicago, Yale, teh area south of UC-Berkeley, are that they find themselves in the middle of not well doing urban centers. You could call them ghettos. You have a lot of privileged kids who have their first contact with unprivileged or people who have fallen out of the middle class. Most of them choose to ignore it, but a few take notable action to improve the situation.

In my experience business luck and knowing the right people can at least partially be the result of hard work.

The person working at a concreting factory for 60 hours a week to try and save is in the exact same position.

My biggest concern isn't that you can work away your youth and health like that, it's that a lot of people of my generation have no idea that's what they are doing and were gently coerced from a young age to imagine the house/car/work triad as the three ticks of success in life.
> Don't the people who control military technology in our current time already have "practically unlimited power over everyone else"?

Currently there's a high cost to it. War is very expensive; even the richest country in the history of the world, the US, doesn't want to bear the costs. And it requires persuading masses of soldiers to go along with it.

Roboticized warfare might eliminate those constraints.
Humans also have a bad habit of double counting contributions. Facebook is "connecting the world" but how many of those connections would've happened over the phone or in person without them? I'm not saying Facebook is net negative, just that a lot of those $100 contributions you are adding up are just shifted from another business that went under.

I'd expect that there are a number of factors that help improve your odds, and that being "smart" will be one of them. But so would being born into a wealthy family, or just bing born in a developed country, and be of good health, and any numbers of other factors.

As well as a huge amount of chance - e.g. my first company got funded because one of my co-founders ran into a guy in a bar that happened to be in the country for a week or two. Maybe we'd have found other funding if that didn't happen. Maybe not. We'll never know.
Anecdotally, and with the risk of the greatest generalisation, in my experience Protestant countries tend to be far more atomised than Catholic ones.
1) You very much do in some jobs. You can't work 70 or 80 hours every week for long stretches and maintain your physical and mental well being. People really do that, and the ones that can maintain the pace for a few years make boatloads of money. A guy I knew like that was able to afford the best medical care when he had his first heart attack at 43. He may in fact live longer than the bottom 75% of income earners. I doubt it.

2) The article makes the assumption that because wealth doesn't correlate to IQ very strongly it must mean IQ doesn't help you become rich. My point is that doesn't necessarily follow and it may be that smart does enter into it - maybe nearly every smart person could get rich and decides there are better ways to live.

3) There's trading your youth and then there's trading your youth. I would say a guy who works 40 hours a week and has other interests does a lot less of it than a guy who works 60-70 hours a week and does nothing else.

I'm looking at it from a 4" phone, so it might 'look busy' from a bigger device? I don't know.

This design IS a huge improvement from what they used to have. Giving short code snippets along with explanations and links with proper organization (remember, I'm looking at it on a phone) per category. But most importantly, it loaded fast and everything I looked at worked. Something that doesn't happen with a lot of 'better' designed websites featured on HN.
That's exactly the point I'm trying to make. I completely agree.

I want to know, how does it feel to have gone to a place like Stanford, only to end up in the same position as someone who went to a state university?
Has anyone here written something online, revealed something about yourself online (are you Muslim? Communist?), or are you associated with someone or some group online (friends with Edward Snowden on Facebook? Friends with CAIR?) that might cause you to be denied entry into the U.S.?

As far as I know, the U.S. has denied entry to its critics, though I don't know how consistently they do that.

(To be absolutely clear: I don't think anyone should be discriminated against based on their religion or political beliefs.)

You lost me on your rant about taxation without universal healthcare when the vast apportionment of that tax (and mis-spending like on the Iraq Occupation) is Federal not CA.

The problem is one of regulatory capture - corporate vested interests control the governance process and that means peons are getting less and less each day for their tax revenues.
The tone and ambiguous thought process of the press release is alarming. He was justified and has allowed for us to have a clearer conversation in regards to security.

That was the original intent, I guess, and it’s better to err on the safe side, but as far as I know, it’s not actually clear that they do interfere. And the FAA doesn’t regulate mobile devices on aircraft, leaving it up to the FCC and individual airlines.

You're trotting out the "injustice of copyright" argument (yeah, I think it's messed up too) as though it's a justification for what was at the time the commercially enabled piracy of recently released albums.

My view on the world is only an epsilon away from yours. I'm not in the "home taping is killing the movie industry crowd". I release "free as in freedom" software by default.

But from my point of view, the epsilon is that a lot of people in the software industry do rely on and understand the value and importance of IP as a work product yet insist that others should be ok with a company profiting off the illegal distribution of music.

Anyway, while we are having a way old discussion all over again, thanks for your sincere replies.
From the article:

The Ebola virus has five known subtypes, the most common of which are Ebola-Zaire, the one that caused the West African outbreak, and Ebola-Sudan. Ebola is also related to Marburg virus, which is similarly lethal.

An ideal vaccine would protect against all Ebola strains and Marburg. However, Dr. Kieny said, it may not be possible to make a shot effective against several strains if it is based on the VSV spine because VSV triggers a lot of side effects.
Right, the data. So the proper way to do this would be to set up a massive A/B test, with everyone entering the US to be randomly assigned to one of two groups - either you're put into the hierarchical filter and you're profiled based on broad first-level parameters, or you're put into the fine filter and you're forcibly opted in into intensive surveillance for the next couple of years or so. Then measure the false positives, hits, and misses and take a decision.

Seems to me that this step is probably the first of several by the US immigration to get this data and justify the move away from broad profiling (which they've taken flak for), towards the need for more intense profiling (which they're also taking flak for).

This line of reasoning only works in hindsight. Working in real time, you won't know in advance how many Florida voters you will need to win, or which ones.

I see money as freedom. My ultimate goal is to save enough so that I don't have to work. Eventually, that will be the case, hopefully not on my deathbed.

What is H.A.R.P. and is it a good mortgage alternative?
I think the issue at stake here is the nature of higher education in the US: specifically, what are its putative goals?

Is it a place for intellectual growth and experience gaining for its own sake, or is it primarily for grooming & career preparation?

With tuition costs as they are, I'd argue that college is necessarily a career investment, almost entirely. And to view it any other way is either naively Romantic or somewhat deluded.

If I could really guarantee career success, social status, and great wealth, just by attending a school--I would.

If these schools really do grant entry to coveted and lucrative positions, and that's what they're selling to potential applicants, I don't see a problem. That's the product, and as products go, that's pretty darn good.

Personally, I think if elite education as entry-way to the upperclass--of and for itself--is an issue, then you're attending one of these schools for the wrong reasons.

Right now, it is often pretended that the goal of college is to learn, to grow, and to 'get an education'. This may have been true in the past, but today it is not. The goal of college is to prepare yourself for the work force, and any other view is somewhat financially irresponsible, whether your family has the money to blow, or not.

Moreover: much of the most important learning in life (intellectual and otherwise) happens outside of academia. It always has and always will. Schools can't do it all. If you aren't already intellectually curious, 4 years at Stanford--just by itself--won't change that. But if I can find a school that will be worth the investment of time and money for my career, one that will help me build a comfortable life for myself and support my family--then I think that investment is worthwhile, and I'll be happy to make it any day.

I'm probably decently smart, but I'm not rich at all. In fact I'm quite poor by most people's standards.

I'm also really happy and work fewer hours per week than anyone I know.

If there's one thing I worry about it's that I should be trying to be rich because I probably have the means to make that happen. I might be making 200k/yr if I worked full time. I might be able to start a successful company if I put my mind to it. I've never been able to convince myself that it's worth it.

Money just doesn't seem that useful to me. I don't need a car, I'd actually prefer a smaller studio for less money if I could find one. My bills add up to maybe $1400/month. It's trivial to make that much money. I have a fulfilling part time job which I could sleep through and still cover my expenses. Every dollar I earn writing software is a bonus. It constantly surprises me how much money my peers are capable of spending.

Fixing things is also really fun. I have $300 dollar headphones, they cost me $0 because I pulled them out of the trash and spent a couple hours overhauling them. The biggest material source of joy in my life is a $280 bicycle, my laptop cost the same, both off craigslist. Going out for a night on the town can cost hundreds of dollars, if I want to indulge in a vice I can buy enough weed to last me 3 months for the same amount of money. I'm always free to spend time with friends doing cool things.

The skills I have that I use to earn money are all learned from spending free time messing around doing small projects just for the hell of it. I wouldn't have these skills if I didn't have so much free time to explore whatever strikes my fancy.

It really seems like the point at which working harder to earn money hits diminishing returns comes much much earlier that most people think.

So you're basically saying someone who is in some kind of minority or has some kind of special hardship or toxic people or family in their life that make them prefer to stay anonymous, but who still want to mingle and make friends and speak their mind freely are just out of luck? This, and other things, is what it wouldy imply.

Another thing it implies is that police are so shitty -- or their superiors so in cahoots with the entitities that do the murdering for that matter -- that they absolutely need to have the self-incriminating stuff someone might spout in public or they can't do their job. Have they given up on catching dangerous people who, uhm, might not do any of that, ever? If someone posts on Facebook that they're going to do a bombing, they might repeat it to the people they ask for directions there, so why fret about those of all people?

Maybe, just maybe, because it's not about catching the worst criminals in the least intrusive way possible, but using those crimes as a stepping stones to get to the innocent? Dress it up however you want it, at the end of the day this is the bottom line for over a decade. If it was about catching mass murderers someone would have arrested people like Bush and Blair by now, so that's kind of a clue to anyone seriously interested in the subject matter :P
