> The printing press

Printing press availability and mass media are two distinct events in History. I'd say mass media pretty much started in the 20th century with Radio and TV. Paper was not something that everyone purchased before for news. TV/Radio made information pretty much free in that regard.

Anti-vaxxers kill people, dang. I don't disagree with this, but I sure hope you mod anti-vax even more agressively.
Many politicians don't give a crap about "being watched by the press" because they can always fix it with more bullshit and fake news.
this trope about how much things cost in the US vs other countries never dies. Things are not free in Spain, they are paid for by heavy taxation, which then results in a massive unemployment rate of 17% AND a lower birth rate than US.

High interest e savings could get you close to 2%. But you you would have to split the money into amounts at different institutions that are FDIC insured.

Or I would think with that amount of money you could walk into a number of major banks and negotiate a 2 year, 2% rate.

But you shouldn't. That would break existing code. What if you actually want to return something from within a switch statement?

Through a sufficiently creative definition of spying, nobody has been spied on in human history. Otherwise, we're forced to contend with the fact that we are being caught in the same dragnets that were advertised to catch the next Osama. (Not advertised to us, of course

I'm not trivializing anything. I spent 5.7 years homeless. I got off the street 4.5 months ago.

We have a ridiculous number of homeless in the US. Meanwhile, rich tech giants talk of giving UBI to everyone as their solution to so many jobs going away. The jobs that are going away pay about $20k-$50k. UBI is expected to be $10k or maybe $18k. Articles that talk about this then write warm little vignettes about how lovely it will be to have that supplemental income on top of your low paid job, utterly ignoring the actual scenario posited that this money is in place of a job in a climate where there is little or no hope of getting another job.

If you think the Industrial Revolution was bloody, you don't want to see what happens with millions of people getting just enough money to sleep in a tent and keep eating while the cops harass them and the system gives them no hope of getting back to a middle class lifestyle. They won't be actually starving. But they will be mad as hell and have nothing but time on their hands to plot a revolution and train for it.
I don’t know. My bond funds are down last couple of years with these low interest rates. With interest rates starting to rise, they should be going up, but still don’t see it yet. Maybe there is a lag of bond fund prices to interest rate rises.

> a ledger is just an indelible, append-only log of transactions that take place between various parties.

Readers should decide either the above statement is true and ethereum is not a blockchain by that definition[0] or blockchain is just an abstract buzzword. Technology wise, git is as powerful as a blockchain at being an append-only log without the most important ingredient - proof-of work.

2. There is a whole section on private blockchains

Can you write one program using a private blockchain(for eg use ibm's hyperledger) that can't be written using git?
Private blockchains, premined coins, colored tokens, assets etc all of them.

3. Regarding smart contracts, can you show me one use of turing completeness in a blockchain? If yes, ethereum is not turing complete practically cause gas.

4. How does one determine the gas price of an opcode in a network? How does ethereum do it? (i think only people understanding need of proof-of-work will understand this)

5. W.r.t the layers of OSI model, the need for smart contract is trivial. Show me one smart contract you can do 'in' a blockchain and I will tell you how to do it 'on' bitcoin.

Personally, I find it more likely that the NSA or another organization ends up leaking some sort of damning info about Trump. This would give them a huge opinion boost, and the Democrats would end up owing the organization for their victory. We're already seeing this, the Democrats seem to love Comey despite his role in mass surveillance.
Windows WARNING:

If you plan on doing same thing in windows be aware you need to disable Dnscache service. Its impossible in windows to screen loopback network interface, means you cant filter which programs get DNS access while "DNS Client" is running, its all or nothing. DNS is a very popular covert exfiltration channel.
There is a difference between following the news and being informed about events around you. That difference is in the specificity of the information you receive.

Most news coverage is relevant to someone, but utterly irrelevant for the majority. As a non-US citizen, the US presidential election can be summarized by who won and what changes they intend to make. I don't need 24-hour coverage of he-said/she-said style reporting.

On the other hand, it can be useful to subscribe to some industry-specific news source to be aware of general trends. But then you're not following the news in general, but just the tiny sliver that actually affects you, which makes it much easier (not less) to stay informed.

Most general news articles are actually much more useful once they are archived (and no longer news), since then you can just seek them out when their topic has become relevant to you, and it lets you make actual use of the constant recaps the news cycle tends to include for context.
His regime was brutal against whistle-blowers. Look at Chelsea Manning.

In his last few years as president, he did not exert much effort at all to shut down the NSA program, as he surely already mostly knew the extent of it and was fine with it.

Obama does not care about doing the right thing here.
Which dragnets? Be specific. The phone metadata dragnet doesn't exist anymore, and the way it was used according to Snowden's documents when it did exist could hardly be called spying on OP.
I'm reminded of the coastline paradox.

If you can override the sandbox, or just give arbitrary permissions for some legitimate purposes, then untold numbers of "common users" can be tricked into doing this for malware which masquerades as useful software.

These Fake Secure Messaging apps were probably mostly for surveillance of secure messaging. The only way iOS is better than android in this specific case is that the iOS App Store has more strict review.

So we're back where we started. Super locked-down walled gardens, or general-purpose computing. I want the latter to continue to be a practical option, for me, my children, and the world.
I have both S8 and iPhone (7) and haven't touched the S8 in the last 3 months.

The fluidity, consistency and UX of android and it's apps is still not on par with iOS. touchID, wallet, continuity, iMessage, smooth animations and an OS that actually respects my privacy trump what android has to offer.

The two things I missed from S8 on iPhone 7 were the bezels or lack thereof; which the X takes care of (minus the notch) and magstripe emulation (even then, samsung pay is horrible with knox requirement and the points system).

True, but the main way an ARM licensee has to differentiate their product is adding unique peripherals. So the generic functionality is in CMSIS, but the reason you chose the processor may not be.

If you look at a die photo and see what area goes to what, pretty quickly you conclude all microcontroller makers are just selling value-added flash memory.

What about Noam Chomsky, Christopher Hitchens, Yanis Varoufakis? They are all excellent debaters on the left. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAYlXb6kBA0

This is a great comment. Your point "dont really think that software engineers could benefit much from unionization" I disagree in one respect: hours and time of day worked. If rules exist that mean you dont work weekends or holidays or more than 50 hours in a week you as an engineer could simply cite rules amd say no. Rules could exist for who has to work those times...

from a bytes as representing a bitstring perspective, big endian make sense, and little endian is a terrible scramble.
Even though you’re looking for low risk I’d consider US stock market in an index fund. Sure it’s possible it will have a couple down ears but the chance of 5-10% gains each year may be worth it. At 2% you are just barely keeping up with inflation, and may be falling behind asset inflation (real estate in particular) if you care about that.

Walking free. After she blew the whistle on what, exactly? The heavily edited Collateral Murder video that conveniently left out the RPG[1]? What do the cable leaks have to do with that?

He shut down the email metadata collection program two years after taking office.

Edit:

> I didn't say anything about cable leaks or what Manning leaked, that is a different conversation.... Nice strawmanning, though.

You literally pointed to Manning as an example of how Obama was brutal to whistleblowers. I quoted you. I pointed out that the actions she took do not count as whistleblowing, and you appear to have conceded that point.

> I'm implicitly referring to the NSA spying programs leaked by Snowden.

How does that example show Obama's brutality to whistleblowers? Snowden is not a whistleblower, and Obama didn't treat him brutally. Out of the millions of documents that Snowden leaked, only phone metadata collection was found to be illegal. If you leak millions of documents from any government agency or any private company for that matter, you're bound to find at least one instance of illegal activity.
C Is Not Portable Assembly (2015)
Actually, as a customer, I can confirm that all the Whole Foods Markets I’ve seen do have digital pricing displays for most things - they are based on e-paper technology.

But you don’t want prices changing between the time a customer has picked up a product and the time they get to the checkout. And then there’s the whole problem of the in-store prices not matching the published circular prices.

So, lots of issues to work out there before dynamic pricing can work well in a physical store.
Absolutely, device drivers must still be written. My observation is just that these device drivers are hidden deeper and deeper levels of abstraction, just like on a regular PC.

Here's a detailed writeup. It had been claimed that the phone tracking was reduced, the rest clearly remains:

https://www.aclu.org/issues/national-security/privacy-and-su...

I understand that some disagree with the other (and past) positions of the ACLU and may be disinclined to trust its website. Fortunately this issue isn't a particularly party-based one. Here's another good source, although it also says a lot about the history of the leaks:

https://www.eff.org/nsa-spying

If there is any accurate secondary source that is clearly conservative, It'd be welcome for me to see it in a reply. There's no particular reason why we'd have to porkbarel this issue - presumably there would be no party affinity at all.

Edit: I know that there is lots of text behind those links, but the issue is an expansive one. I sincerely invite you to read them!
Currently? Almost every published statistic involving people everywhere, includes data that you could call racial profiling. BTW I think your point could be made without the pointless expletives.
That feels wrong to me. I don’t know how the rest of the world operates, but here in America I suspect the health system would struggle to even begin to cope with seeing a 50fold increase in patients across the board across the country. Just the strain on hospitals and respiratory support systems like ventilators alone would quickly make modern healthcare seem more or less like it was in 1918. Additionally, unlike in 1918, few households today have spare capacity to homecare gravely ill family members as in most middle class families both partners must work to provide a living wage.
I worked at an Amazon-Apple-Google-Facebook company when this type of article was published about our project. Our management vigorously denied what was in the article and pointed us to details that were clearly false. Ultimately, as time went by, we realized that although some of the details in the article were false, the general spirit of it was actually correct.

So please take the skepticism that your management is feeding you with a grain of salt. The news media's business model hinges on its reputation of being truthful and accurate. If it was regularly publishing "disturbingly misinformed and one-sided" articles, it would be out of business.
The rest? What rest, specifically? Which program includes spying on OP and lying about it?

I have read Snowden's publicly released documents, so I know that there is no rest that satisfies OP's claim. I sincerely invite you to read the links you posted and look for it, instead of presuming they say something they don't.

Edit:

Specifically, the EFF claims that the NSA is copying all the data that goes into Room 641A. This despite that they know that the device in that room is a filtering device (Narus deep packet inspection) and that Snowden's documents specifically show that the NSA filters the traffic for targets' communications. There remain no documents that support the EFF's claim. The ACLU document you linked does not claim anything about spying on OP.

Edit 2 (whatshisface: too many conspiracy theorists downvoting facts for me to reply):

Here is the document released in 2013: https://www.aclu.org/foia-document/government-letter-fisc-re.... Quoting the relevant section, "As previously described to the Court, in conducting upstream collection using electronic communication accounts/addresses/identifiers (hereinafter 'selectors') pursuant to Section 702, NSA acquires Internet communications that are to or from a tasked selector, or which contain a reference to a tasked selector." It continues, "NSA prevents the intentional acquisition of Internet communications that contain a reference to a targeted selector where the sender and all intended recipients are known at the time of acquisition to be located in the United States." Nope, no spying on OP here. Do you have any documents that say otherwise, or are you going to keep sticking your fingers in your ears and pretend that evidence exists without actually presenting it?

Edit 3 (nyolfen):

Isn't it funny how no documents exist that corroborate Binney's wacky claims, even after the Snowden leaks? Isn't it funny how Binney continues to make nonsensical claims like the NSA having 5 zettabytes of storage, which is orders of magnitude more than Google, Amazon, and Microsoft combined? Isn't it funny how Binney always claims to be a genius but talks like an idiot? See discussion above about your unsourced cable splitter collecting everything claim.

Also, you've hilariously misread what EvilOlive was. It doesn't bounce traffic off a foreign router. It was an implementation of a rule change that allowed collection of traffic from targeted individuals as long as one end was foreign, where previously both ends had to be foreign. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/world/2013/...

> what standard of evidence besides nsa admitting as much would you accept?

Any document at all showing mass spying on Americans. I won't hold my breath. If there was nothing in Snowden's millions of documents, why why should I believe it exists?
But that assumes that there is a trusted archival party that can verify account balances with authority. It may be technically possible to devise such a system, but as far as I understand, current decentralized blockchains require that you replay all previous transactions in order to learn the current state of the system.
