This is a good reason to have TrueCrypt hidden volumes and other forms of steganography. You can decrypt and still have more stuff that looks like random junk. No one can be sure you decrypted everything.

The best idea however is to have sensitive stuff stored encrypted on freenet, and log in using incognito browser sessions.
Very interesting. You don't have any need for persistent storage that exceeds the amount of information that can be remembered? (E.g. work artifacts, photos, passwords)

I do some time tracking in my monthly blog post (scroll down to the chart), so you can actually see exactly how much time I'm spending.

Is the revenue so far worth the time I put into it? No, not by itself. But everything that I've done so far is really a launching pad for more, bigger, and better things, so I see it as an investment. At the very least, I've reached a point where I can survive on my own and work on my own projects indefinitely. Beyond that, I've built up an audience and community that I love, and I've got lots of plans in the works to try and deliver even more value to them + generate revenue in a more scalable way.
I'm one of those people that go NYC to Boston and NYC to DC. I work in the dining car with laptop and WiFi. Only take planes when taking early AM flights to get to Boston or DC early in the morning.
Well, having a period of time each day where you eat nothing should mean less calories eaten because of boredom or similar regardless of when that is.
Is this an anecdotic evidence?
It definitely works. Among the people I have looked at and modeled, supper timing is definitely correlated to weight gain. If you are interested I can link to some preliminary modeling I have done.
This is completely false. The entire flight demand of SF to LA is so pathetically low in comparison to the demand from the Cartesian set of intermediary routes that catering to just SF to LA would doom the project to failure. There isn't a successful HSR system in the world that hasn't already learned this lesson. Not only is Fresno crucial to ridership projections, but so are all the other small towns like Merced.
I worked on Accelsor which is a tactile-spatial programming language, and I think the ideas here are actually really good (so don't let HN haters get you down).

Ultimately work like this though leads to needing to reinvent all of programming (unfortunately) for instance, I'm now having to build a graph database to handle Turing Complete systems that are being collaborated on in realtime (see http://gun.js.org). So prepare for a long haul of work ahead of you. Get to know people in the space, like me and the Eve team, etc.

If you persist long enough (don't let money or lack of money stop you) you'll make a dent. :)
This may sound basic, but get your finances and investments in order. There may be free cash in the couch cushions so to speak.

Due to various life events I got behind on that this past year. As a result, a decent sum (for me at least) piled up in my checking account earning a lovely .05% interest rate. My savings account earns 1%. Needless to say, a few mouse clicks later and I earn much more interest every month. Enough where I want to punch myself for not making it a priority earlier in the year for something so stupidly simple.

The next step is to complete my final 401k rollover (god do they make that tedious) before rebalancing my investment allocations and opening a Roth. Those tasks will earn me considerably more than $100/mo on average, particularly with the magic of compound interest over a span of decades.

My whole point is, don't just focus on jobs/SaaS/whatever while ignoring basic management and optimization of your personal finances. For many who do not actively manage their finances, pulling a few of those levers can add up to significant amounts and the actual work involved outside of research is (typically) less painful than doing something like starting a SaaS business.
Negotiating with some one who is both anti abortion and pro execution. Do you refuse to work with that person (eg prison reform, women's health)? Or do you focus on shared interests, win/win?

> In these cases with encryption the courts have consistently been finding that the password is comparable to unlocking the door to a house to which the police have a search warrant.

I thought it was the exact opposite, where things such as a lock combination or a memorized password could not be compelled, whereas things like a fingerprint or a key can be since they are physical possessions.

I wish this wasn't a deeply nested comment attached to a somewhat unrelated article because I think this is a really interesting discussion that deserves its own thread. There are some genuinely interesting ethical questions here.

FWIW, I feel that people who have the money to do so should support the artists, engineers, and other folks who create the things they use and enjoy. I buy books rather than borrow them from the library for this reason: I want to give the authors more money, so that hopefully they'll keep writing the books I love to read.

I know not everyone shares my perspective, though.
it could also come from the hardware.
I think that last part is the direction we may be heading in.
If you use ¬¬ϕ = ϕ in your proof, you loose constructivity.

Why would you care about this?

Simplifying a bit, in a constructive proof, every existential statement ∃x.ϕ comes with a witness c such that ϕ is true when x is replaced by c. Likewise, in a logical disjunction ϕ \/ Ψ comes with information whether ϕ is true or Ψ.

If your proof is not constructive, you may not be able to get this information from the proof. In other words, a constructive proof is nicer than a non-constructive proof.

OTOH, non-constructive proofs tend to be easier to find, indeed some theorems have only non-constructive proofs. Moreover, non-constructive can sometimes be shorter than constructive proofs of the same statement.
According to the figures released before the project, it will cost the same, but take twice as long to go from LA to SF compared to flying. No one is going to take the train instead of flying, except maybe John Madden.
> Just look at the constitution of the CSA

Actually, the Confederate constitution was even more hostile on the subject of states' rights than was the US Constitution.

(4) No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing
the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed.

http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/csa_csa.asp

So if say Mississippi were to suddenly see the light, they couldn't as a state pass a bill impairing the right of property in negro slaves.
Any chance of this (or something like it) appearing for Pale Moon or Firefox?
If they have an actual warrant or other order signed by a judge and targeting you specifically then you should know you will likely be found in contempt and indefinitely jailed without trial, perhaps for the rest of your life.

Without a warrant though they can seize it as contraband but they can't deny you entry.
Although a bit flawed for it's current use case, it's a great idea, there are likely many other use cases for mutual authorization.
There are rules for renting out appartments for good reasons. For example, it influences the worth of appartments around it, and it messes up housing costs in a broader area.

He might encrypt something again! :-)

It's a contempt-of-court thing; he's been order to take an action, and hasn't. (He might not remember the encryption passphrase, in which case the question is really, "Does he rot?" and so far the answer appears to be "Yup").
Even something like a VPN isn't really perfect, because a smart enough monitoring system could track a vpn connection coming from your system, and then compare that to traffic coming from the vpn. Tricky, but possible.
Of course you have a right to say who comes and goes in your neighbors properties and what kinds of things they are allowed to do, as I am sure you would insist were they to open a concert venue or dog fighting arena.
Thanks, was on my mobile phone at the time I wrote my original comment.
Yeah, pretty sure I remember seeing stories of very similar things happening with JPL-issued laptops back in the Obama era, they just didn't get much attention.
Unfortunately, I suspect that failing to have a the ability to grant border agents access to social media or email accounts will soon become grounds for detainment and further scrutiny by itself. If you are carrying a "dumb phone" or don't have email or social media set up on your phone, then what are you trying to hide?
Can we not make the leap from searches at border checkpoints (a major issue in and of itself) to murdering 6 million people in every thread?

It's a valid concern but that kind of language immediately turns people off and tilts the entire discussion one way.
> I wonder if it is possible to run anonymous projects by creating organization and committing as "Anonymous <anonymous@example.com>". Of course you should just create another account using Tor in this case, but just from a theoretical point of view, can an outsider (not working at github) find out who the author is?

Should be trivially possible; GitHub identifies people via their SSH key, not via a "name" or email address.

According to their terms of service ( https://help.github.com/articles/github-terms-of-service ):

> You must provide your name, a valid email address, and any other information requested in order to complete the signup process.

Throwaway email addresses (e.g. mailinator.com ) are "valid", but not providing "your name" is a violation of the TOS, and hence:

> Violation of any of the terms below will result in the termination of your Account.

Of course, that's not saying much when their terms also state:

> GitHub, in its sole discretion, has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service, or any other GitHub service, for any reason at any time. Such termination of the Service will result in the deactivation or deletion of your Account or your access to your Account, and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all Content in your Account. GitHub reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.

Hence anybody who actually cares about privacy, anonymity, publishing code without it being taken down, etc. should probably avoid GitHub (other than for mirroring). It's a single point of failure which can be closed down or sent a subpoena.

The whole point of git is to be decentralised, so just use `git send-email` and keep it that way. No need to give any control to a centralised entity, especially a proprietary one!
Also note that that image is incomplete: international airports count as border crossings for CBP's purposes, so any city with one and the surrounding area in a 100 mile radius should be added.

>People do not own the value of a dollar, just the dollar's IOU.

Value of your dollar holdings= (value of all dollars) * (number of your dollars / number of all dollars).

You assert that nobody is promising the value of your dollar holdings will remain constant. I agree that this assertion is true, but it's also obvious that failing to maintain the "value of all dollars" is a good way to impoverish all dollar holders, possibly permanently. Convincing people that you aren't going to allow them to maintain the value of their dollar holdings is a good way to encourage them to sell dollars.
Not sure i follow, as the trend had been ongoing ever since the C64 (if not before).

As for the whole demoscene thing, i am not surprised given that it grew out of the cracking scene on micros. By being more elaborate versions of the intros cracking groups added to games (and those seems have made something of a comeback as cracking groups have to provide their own installers because games rarely ship as complete ISOs these days).

That said, i never got the impression that the demoscene was much interested in the PC platform once it started sprouting soundcards and graphics accelerators. I guess it just became hard to judge the prowess of the demo developers when the platform was not a fixed package.
The Three Ways of XOR
If you are doing an order by on a single table on an indexed column, is that expensive? If you are doing an order by on a clustered index, wouldn't the order by be essentially free?

But I never thought about it, but it does make perfect sense to sort on the app server and filter on the database. When hosted locally, it's practically nothing in terms of money, time to spin up another API server and add it to the load balancer compared to another SQL Server instance.
> So how do you protect yourself?

I don't believe any of the technical solutions mentioned in this thread; using a dumb phone, multiple identities and/or false data for plausible deniability, wiping the phone before passing the border, is viable for a larger number of people. They also fail once a border agent insists on accessing an email account for which they know you have the password.

The only protection is through protecting people legally. Once the border agencies can insist on accessing your email and cloud storage before letting you enter the country it seems like any arbitrary thought crime can deny you access.
Wouldn't it make more sense to stop the “Wait and see” approach and organize action against the problem?

It strikes me that yielding to unjust approaches is fundamentally problematic on two fronts:

- The action of forcing legal citizens to unlock their personal information certainly is questionable constitutionally.

- The idea that one can perform these sorts of workarounds is likely biased with privilege.

Bill Gates: Our Memories of Hans Rosling
My opinion is the amount of time spent eating (and not when you eat) is a major contributor to lower obesity rates. When you spend more time chewing and conversing, you seem to eat less and get fuller. Typically you can't even finish your meal.

In NA we eat to quickly not giving our brain and stomach time to send the proper signals of fullness. Try it sometime, take a typically portion and spend 20 minutes not eating more than half of it. You probably won't be able to finish it.

Seems his argument is that Windows, by being propietary and closed source, is more appealing to the "code ninjas" of the demo scene because there are more hidden techniques to be developed and hoarded (kinda like making a fancy app on the iPhone by using undocumented APIs).

Linux, by being in the end open source, puts all that in the open, and that is for said "ninjas" boring.

Demo scene and game cracking is after all joined at the hip. Both of them spring out of bored kids with massive amounts of time to stare at decompiled binaries.

Thanks. For a second I thought I was chatting with someone you who knew what they were talking out. I appreciate you confirming you were basing your answer of something you read 10 years ago in a book, a book you can no longer find. The rest of your comment shows you didn't even study the basics of finance and economics either.

Dave, Hacker News has some of the smartest commentary I found on a News site. Questions on here regularly have people answering them where that person has experience, worked in that field professionally and have studied those topics in school and have degrees in them.

I realize this is the internet, expectations are low. People troll. Even if you wanted to help, why not wait a minute before answering to see if someone more informed or more experienced, than a book read 10 years ago will have answer. It's more a courtesy to the person asking as they get a better answer, and it stops you from looking like an idiot. Win-win.
re: windows 10... for most people it was a free major OS upgrade, increased security, modern browser with more frequent updates. I feel it was worth it as a free (as in direct monetary cost to me) upgrade.

I've got mixed feelings about the amount of telemetry data they collect.. I don't use cortana, and have disabled most of the options I can disable regarding this. That said, I mostly like the new UI/UX, and would prefer to have friends and family on a version of windows that is clearly better supported moving forward.

I wouldn't say that is nothing ... I also run a mac laptop, and my most used home PC, is the htpc connected to my tv running Ubuntu. Android phone and tablet... I'm not only using windows, but can appreciate what it does offer in trade for that privacy concern.
My own experience is that WF meat is not better than Safeway and easily 50% more expensive.

My local Safeway sold USDA Prime filet for $18.99/lb, the Choice at WF was always at least $26 and sometimes $32/lb.

My wife has come home with salmon from WF marked at $32/lb and I nearly had a heart attack. $12/lb for the same at Safeway, sometimes $8.99.

It seems to me WF sets prices assuming you just aren't looking and don't know better. It's a hell of a markup for shopping ambiance.
I lived on a boat and traveled around North America for 2 years. We called what you describe here "the boat rule", which is to do something when you think of it because later on, the failure to do it will have increased negative consequences. Replacing flashlight batteries is a great example.
Same with Downton Abbey. A lot of fans seem drawn to the opulent castles and hordes of servants but one of the themes of the show is the disappearance of these things due to their innate incestuous purposelessness. The main characters only barely hang on to their lifestyle by increasingly embracing the ascendance of the middle-class.
I agree. In most places it's difficult to rent places at reasonable prices for less than a year. Sure, you can rent crappy places, but nothing good. You get a lot more mileage committing a year at a time than jumping around every month. Knowing you have 12 months ahead encourages behaving like you actually live there and also allows real friendships to develop.

It amazes me how some people jump around, going to 5 cities on their 2 week holiday. They go everywhere and they they experience nowhere.

The big challenge is immigration. 60 to 90 day visit limits are common, and how many times you can do quick ins and outs varies.
> It's much like the "thou shalt not kill" commandment in the Bible.

That's an erroneous translation, although I concede it is very common - but rarely if ever found within a Bible as you claim; both the KJV, which I prefer for the music of its language, and the NIV, which is much more common these days, instead correctly render it as "Thou shalt/you shall not murder". I can't speak for Torah, but I doubt it differs there.

The laws of men distinguish mere murder from killing in general, whether it be manslaughter, justifiable homicide, the conduct of warfare, or any of sundry other nuances. Why, then, should the law of God overlook the same distinction?
