I suspected I'd see a variation of this answer in this thread. While on some level it makes sense for some cases (the information is so benign that it doesn't matter if it is leaked), in this case I don't think it quite adds up.

First, while much of the information might be common-sense, it might not be to potential adversaries and I see no reason to provide further aide.

Second, revealing documents like this helps prove what FBI isn't doing. When trying to plan an effective counter to surveillance, it can be just as important to know what isn't be tracked as well as what is. Again, I don't see a public good here.

I simply don't think there is an overriding good that outweighs potential downsides (even if small). Revealing this document does not show moral or legal problems. All it does is fulfill curiosity. Which isn't a good reason for leaking information related to national security.
So all that hasn't existed for ages. Only dumping the intermediate representation has existed for ages, but not loading it and not running the middle-end of the compiler on the loaded IR.
Re: metadata: I really like Riot/Matrix and have convinced a bunch of formerly non-IRC people to start using IRC through Matrix (the great free IRC bouncer in the sky!). However, a couple of things that bother me:

- The fact that it appears to be impossible to disable typing notifications ("X is typing...") and read receipts. This can change the nature of a conversation and really should be optional. Coming from IRC, it just feels plain creepy. A friend flat-out refused to use Riot because of this.

- The fact that device information is leaked to everyone who happens to be in the same channel. So I can join #matrix and click on any of the >5k users and see information about all the devices a particular user has used. Here's from one random person: "https://riot.im/app/ via Chrome on Mac OS", "https://riot.im/app/ via Chrome on Windows", E5823 (ah, J. Doe is using a Sony Xperia Z5 Compact!), etc. Sometimes things like "Joe's iPhone" is exposed -- and I don't think Joe had any idea of that. This is bad.
How is the analytics done locally? If it's not, saying the data is stored locally seems potiental meaningless.
How is this doing discovery of other nodes? Says it is fully decentralized but just doing a `meshbird new` to get a key and then running `MESHBIRD_KEY="key" meshbird join` doesn't explain the discovery mechanism to me. Haven't dug into it much though.

More like the "you're telling your wife to trust a guy that repeatedly beat her and a bunch of other women?" of security arguments. Expecting abuse from a known abuser or situation known to lead to it. Very reasonable expectation. Best to avoid the abusive party and warn others to do the same.
Age differences, possibly. To most folks, a classic car starts in the late 50's - and the engine is basically a simplified version of today's engine - and this is what they generally teach. Not everyone is competent enough to chase down a vacuum leak in the engine to fix whatever symptom it is producing, for example. It is kind of similar to how it is easier to find a doctor than a surgeon - and this is a surgeon specialist. Lots wanted to work on it, but not everyone could. Depending on where we lived, he took it out of town. Surprisingly, sometimes this was in larger towns as well as the smaller ones: It depended more on where had the bigger concentration of enthusiasts.

Google reveals this mention:

http://darwin-online.org.uk/EditorialIntroductions/Chancello...

"Humboldt's world view of one vast interconnected system, through which he drew three-dimensional lines tracing, for instance, rock formations, atmospheric and oceanic currents and ecological communities is probably the most impressive feature of his Personal narrative. The book is a rich store of facts, history and observations which Darwin and many other writers have been plundering for almost two centuries. While still a great travel story, it is perhaps too prolix for modern readers and the ratio of science to (somewhat tedious) history certainly shrinks in the later volumes. Nevertheless, few books can provide such an insight into a world divided between 'Old' or 'New' in a way very hard to appreciate today. When Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein in 1818 she had his 'creation' declare that he and his bride 'will go to the vast wilds of South America', a place as far from 'civilisation' as possible where they can do no harm. Those vast wilds were probably known to her from the Personal narrative."
Nice tutorial. I had created an app in Ionic 1 a couple of years back using Chart.js to display information graphically. Surprised at how easy it was to do. Looking forward to playing with Ionic 2 and this library to see the difference.
Using encryption? Seems pretty dubious.

Also, camping and survivalism? These seem fairly orthogonal as well.

Wireguard supports roaming but it's not distributed in a p2p global sense.
My personal take...

The lyric expresses a longing to know more, but alas, we are forever confined to our senses; similar to Kant's perspective, which suggests that, although we can know information about a thing (i.e., via the senses, "touch" and "see", as the lyric suggests), we can never know a thing in and of itself (i.e., outside of our senses). We can only ever experience a sense-based representation of a thing, and not the thing's true nature.

Moreover, we cannot touch (i.e., experience) or see (again, experience) anything outside of the present moment. No matter what changes, we are locked in the moment, because there is no past or future, in the sense that we can experience those concepts now (i.e., there is only the present moment in time). Everything that has ever happened, occurred in a series of present moments.

The lyric expresses these truths, while intertwined with a saturnine feeling; that is, we are bound by our senses, and bound by the moment, but we long to experience more. However, it is all we ever have; it is: "all your life will ever be."
>non-political religious organizations are tax-exempt.

Religious organisations aren't tax-exempt because they're non-political, they're tax-exempt because they operate as not-for-profit charities.
thats a pretty terrible argument. And how it follows for your own logic is beyond me.
>"One gets all the validation one needs, not from teachers or gurus, but by direct experiential knowledge."

Sure, I have no problem with that. However, if you let your past experiences define who you are, it'll always limit you, even if your past experiences include 'glimpses of the absolute'.

Simply put, the most common mode of human existence is that of a storyteller. If you see connections between event A and event B you're telling a story. There's no harm in that, it's a natural part of who we are. Of course there are moments where the self fades and the story has less of a structured narrative, but we still find ways to tie it together.

I like to ask myself this, if someone achieves enlightenment, what do they do with the rest of their life? Are they going to spend their time maximising their new found connection to their senses? What gives pleasure to someone who minimises personal attachment?
> A blog is really fast if you don't put anything but text in it basically

Here's a dummy test page I made a while ago to see if I could create a fairly lengthy, fast-loading text page for slow mobile connections. It's hosted on a cheap shared hosting plan, so it may well fall over (or not!)

Version A (no font loading): http://interfacesketch.com/test/energy-book-synopsis-a.html

Version B (loads custom fonts - an extra 40kb approx): http://interfacesketch.com/test/energy-book-synopsis-b.html

The image at the top of the page hasn't been optimized (about 40kb), however I do think aesthetics are important in page design and I'm against reverting to a plain HTML look with no CSS styling. The test pages above are plain looking but, I hope, reasonably pleasant to look at. (The custom font version looks nicer in my view than the no font loading version, but of course it adds a bit of extra page weight).

Question 21) "Has the subject engaged in [...] tradecraft to hide their online activities contextually different from previous activity? [...] password-protected websites."

I don't think it's unreasonable to ask whether password-protected websites are only an issue if they are being used to hide online activities. Or is this a strict liability thing, where any use of a password protected website is taken to mean that a user is attempting to hide their online activities.

"Polychlorinated biphenyls were once widely deployed as dielectric and coolant fluids in electrical apparatus, carbonless copy paper and in heat transfer fluids.[1] Because of their longevity, PCBs are still widely in use, even though their manufacture has declined drastically since the 1960s"

Hydrophobic, highly soluble in organic solvents, oils & fats. How long ago were these pollutants (PCBs) deposited? A quick check shows toxicity was known and acted on in the 70s. [1] Is this a concentration by old pollution or is it still happening? The article seems to suggest both.

> The argument that they do not interfere in the kind of content that is shown was a key rationale for exempting them from liability.

It seems like this might be the "correct" point; at least when considering "who" is responsible for content - that the degree to which you (the service provider) picks and chooses content is the degree to which you are responsible for the effects of showing that content.

In an ideal implementation, such a link also correlates with organizational size: FB of today can both afford to be liable for the content shown, and can afford the work to be responsible about it. FB when it started could not.

A better example might be Tinder - When it started, would it be reasonable for Tinder to police its users for asshole behavior? Now that Tinder is established, it is reasonable for them to not?

Both Firefox[1] and Chrome[2] (and, presumably, Safari and Edge?) have a network throttle in their dev tools. Apart from that, you can use OS level throttling, e.g. Network Link Conditioner[3] for OS X. Couldn't see any incremental rendering on Fefes Blog though.

Fun and silly projects. I think telnet.texttv.nu aside from also being neat might actually be useful.
And I think it is completely foolish to ignore that trend. Just like new threats naturally generate counter-measures (e.g. computer viruses and bugs drive the emergence of security software), things that are perceived to have negative consequences will give birth to counter-measures of some kind, and the net result will be a much less extremist future, a boring, middle-of-the-road thing, where people can access the "hive mind" much more freely.

Which makes you wonder, why are people who are proponents of such things use such terribly connoted words words to market them? Who the fuck wants to be part of a "hive mind"? Or is it just FUD?

Elon Musk says ‘almost all new cars will be self-driving within 10 years’
Popp 2016: "Misinterpreted Documents and Ignored Physical Facts: The History of ‘Hitler's Atomic Bomb’ needs to be corrected" is obviously unknown to the author of this article:

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bewi.201601794/ab...

"It is shown that until the end of the war the German physicists did not know that an atomic bomb can only be made with fast neutrons, except Heisenberg, who, however, discovered it rather late, did not communicate it clearly and did not study any bomb physics. The physically correct interpretation of the documents reveals that the German physicists worked unsuccessfully on a reactor, which would have been a prerequisite for a plutonium bomb. But they did not know how to build a bomb because they never worked on a realistic bomb theory."

| So far, the administration has consistently emphasized and exaggerated the supposed security risks of the status quo to make an argument from necessity for drastic changes. I'm trying to be neutral in describing this but I think it's fair to say that the claim that bad people are 'pouring in' to the USA is an exaggeration.

You're being kind. As far as I can understand, the legal argument (i.e., the 'official' argument) is that they don't need to justify their actions in any way to a court.

Additionally, when they are saying that they are not censored, can I censor it to my preferences? For example, one of the biggest problems on Twitter is lack of "negative keywords" filter.

There's nothing indicating that any of those factors by itself would make you a person of interest.

And I'd guess the FBI would be a really bad service if "uses encryption" or "camping" by itself would be considered as a strong signal. The noise would be too big.

Now talk about someone who has a history of violence, takes long camping trips with a large arsenal, suddenly dropped all non-encrypted means of communication and is obsessed about books on chemical warfare and terrorist attacks. If it were your call, would you dedicate attention to that person?
