You can't stop what happens in the courts from becoming public (which is how this information got out). It helps put scrutiny on police tactics anyway, which then helps the average person defend themselves against abuse of power.

Law enforcement will always have an advantage over criminals anyway. Even if we know their tactics, they still have full access to phones, networks, business databases, they can coerce people to turn informant, etc, etc, etc. They'll still win.

Law enforcement information control is overrated in its utility. Not to mention 99.9% of criminals make dumb mistakes (which is all it takes to get caught, one minor mistake).
Doesn't UPnP already solve this? And it enabled by default on most routers.
Plenty of good news! SNP voted together with hard brexiteer tories! Britain mostly united on a decision! Sure, it's doesn't lead to a clear next step, but that's perhaps what's most exciting - most remainers voted against the deal because this is the best chance we have for this whole farce to not happen!

> I'd argue that those examples are a higher bar to hurdle than failing to recognize a spear phishing attack, and can be mitigated by solutions like always-on VPN.

The theory behind TLS MITM is that it's an extraordinary and dangerous method that could be justified if sufficiently effective. If there are a dozen common ways to route around it, the risk is more than the benefit.

A VPN can't fix it because a compromised endpoint would be able to choose which traffic it sends over the VPN. Whereas if the endpoint isn't fully compromised then you could be doing whatever scanning is being done by the middlebox on the endpoint itself, without centralizing on single point of compromise for the entire network.

> And if the malware doesn't work because it has certificate pinning, well, that's a win too.

It may not make an outside connection, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work. It could still infect every machine on your internal network. What's the chance that none of them are ever in range of a public WiFi?

This is before even getting to the issue of steganography. Information theory says that if your legitimate communications contain zero entropy then they can be encoded into zero bits, i.e. you don't need a network connection at all, but if they contain nonzero bits of entropy then an attacker can encode that much arbitrary data into the stream and still be indistinguishable from legitimate data.

So the whole thing is inherently a cat and mouse game. A lazy attacker may use a data pattern that isn't found in the legitimate data and then a middlebox vendor may find it and use that to distinguish their traffic, but as soon as they do the attacker can stop using it. The longer the game is played, the better the attackers get at making their data indistinguishable and the fewer remaining undiscovered ways to distinguish it that it's possible to find. In the limit there are none left, the data is completely identical to legitimate data with the same amount of entropy, the attacker is only assigning different meaning to it at the endpoints.

Both require technologies we do not have.

The air and waters the world around are contaminated with microplastics, we're not fixing that. We just aren't, that's forever. It's done. All we can do is reduce how much we are adding.

For the carbon sequestration, we don't even have any remotely viable methods for sequestering a gigaton annually. If you happen to know one, YC put a call out for startups in that area last year and I'm sure they'd love you to develop a prototype and pitch them http://carbon.ycombinator.com/

Even of you try and replicate the Azolla event, for carbon sequestration, and you use the 10 largest bodies of water in the world with ideal efficiency you'll only be sequestering about 10% of what we produce and using the 10 largest freshwater lakes in the world (like you know, the great lakes 172,000 square miles of lake dedicated purely to azolla (forgetting it would destroy entire ecosystems) would do roughly 10% of what we need to to combat current emissions under unrealistically ideal conditions.

Please though, tell us how trivial it is.

So your anecdotal experience is different from mine. It sounds like you're disagreeing with me, but I guess you're not.

> You can use, modify and share OSM data however you want.

You are still free to do that with OSM. Not sure what that has to do with DDG. Just because they don't want to use OSM, doesn't change any of your rights to using OSM.

> Apple on the other hand is hoarding its information.

You are free to requisition a fleet of mapping vehicles, drones and satellites and gather your own maps information and share it with whomever you want. If Apple is the one paying a ton of money to create their information, I'm not sure why it's surprising that they want to use that information in their products.

You don't have a right to Apple's mapping data any more than you have a right to Colonel Sanders's chicken recipe -- however, nothing is stopping you from making your own chicken recipe and sharing it with whomever you want. You could even start a community around sharing chicken recipes. That some people don't care about chicken recipe secrecy doesn't harm your rights to enjoy chicken with recipes created and shared by you or your friends. Some of us actually just want to buy some fried chicken and not worry about the provenance of the recipe. We have more important priorities (for us) than the openness of a private company's chicken preparation secrets. We just want good tasting chicken. Many of us aren't chicken enthusiasts, spending our time lamenting the secrecy of the Colonel's chicken choices.

What it really sounds like the source of your complaint is that if DDG doesn't continue to use OSM, then perhaps OSM will suffer for it. If that's the real origin of your disdain for this decision, then perhaps OSM isn't as valuable in the marketplace of ideas as people might think it is. However, if this actually doesn't affect OSM (I don't think it does,) then that means that DDG can use whatever they want and the OSM folks can happily share to their heart's content.

Seems to me like one of the key differences is in how much data is actually collected. DDG claims in their blog post that they send no PII to apple, they're just using apple to provide a map view and search data.

I'm not even sure this level of anonymized usage is possible with google's APIs.

Edit: I just had the experience of trying to use biking directions in google maps the other day. In order to enable actual turn-by-turn directions I had to turn on something called "Web and App activity" which, as best as I can tell, is an unbelievably invasive set of technologies designed to track you across websites, real locations, and non-google owned apps using google APIs.

There's a real and meaningful difference in the amount and depth of the data collected by google vs. its competitors. I think a huge motivating factor for why google collects that data is their ad-driven revenue model.

To tie it back to your original question: Sure we could all just not use cloud services but in the mean time there are clear differences in how vulnerable you are to privacy violations by nation-states through legal means based on how much data various cloud services are actively trying to collect on you.
I've never been to South America and I have only a couple friends from there, but I've watched these shows and they definitely look like exaggerated propaganda.

I'd really like to see Shepherd used outside of GuixSD. In theory, since Guix can be installed on top of other distros, this could be leveraged to be make swapping in Shepherd easier. Of course, systemd is much more complex, so replacing the init in systemd-based distro would probably be trickier, but it should be more manageable in places like Void Linux.

An important part of the agile manifesto that is sometimes missed is that it is not saying there is no value in the items on the right (i.e. that you should not have contracts). An agile way of handling contracts is to negotiate smaller contracts (for example a contract to build the first vertical slice of a system rather than one contract for the entire system) to allow either party to easily move on (fail fast) if things don't work out.

Life that is recognizable to us definitely needs some sort of solvent to even begin to exist. We know water can support life. We don't know that there are any other solvents that can. We also know of a bunch of places that don't have liquid water, like the moon, that don't appear to host life. Probably there isn't life on objects that look like the moon or Mercury.

Water is also really common (if not usually liquid), so you might expect that a good fraction of all the life in the universe would use water. Why worry about looking for exotic life in galactic nebulas (or whatever) when we aren't even sure how to detect it. Working out a way to detect watery life is way easier, and if there's a nearbyish exoplanet with a rocky Earthesque planet with water then we absolutely should look there first.

There are a set of Blink chargers at a restaurant that we visit sometimes.

Journalism as a profession has historically made money for its practitioners.

There are plenty of factors to evaluate. For one, the sheer number of people who can now engage in the practice of journalism, formally or informally, much less call themselves journalists, has massively expanded. You don't need a printing press to get published.

The question is, if they aren't making money on their work, is anybody? Does Google not profit off the content created by others online, for example?
Our Duolingo like app to learn coding is featured on ProductHunt today
Thrilled to announce that our app (Programming Hub 2.0) has been featured on ProductHunt today.

Programming Hub is a totally interactive and fun way to learn to code on your Android + iPhone + iPad - no coding experience required! We have short coding challenges and lessons in 30+ Programming Languages along with E-certificates for completion of each course.

Making the app as interactive and fun as possible was really important to us. To this end, we let you run, write and experiment with code in a mobile code editor and bring your code to life!

We are addressing 3 major problems through Programming Hub:

Making Programming skills affordable to the masses(including 1 Billion learning aspirants from developing countries to bridge the gap of 1 million programmers deficit by 2020)

Programming is complex: thus we simplified it by relating complex concepts with real world examples.

Programming is boring: hence we made the course as engaging, interactive and fun as possible. Inclusion of humor and sarcasm has made the course unlike anything you'll find anywhere else.

Courses are research backed using kolbs scientific model of learning and guarantee retention of concepts you learn through the app.

Happy to answer any questions, and I'd love to hear your feedback.

Here's the PH listing - https://www.producthunt.com/posts/programming-hub-2-0

I don't know if that's completely true. I worked with a guy who was the boss for all the IT for Colombia's elections back in the late 90s and early 2000s. He told me stories about how they would secretly rent rooms in a hotel to gather the final election data, and even then people would try to break in by digging through the floor below and ceiling above. He got out because the threats were so great. Think of it: the IT guy for elections, not some player in drug land.
Depends on what you are worried about. The book (if I understand the review correctly) is concerned not just with loss of privacy, but with how your personal data can be used to modify your behavior.

Quoting from the review:

> “The goal of everything we do is to change people’s actual behavior at scale,” a top Silicon Valley data scientist told her in an interview. “We can test how actionable our cues are for them and how profitable certain behaviors are for us.”

So both Google and Apple vacuum up your data, and both are required to comply with lawful governmental requests, but only one of these companies makes money from your data by selling your attention to those who would modify your behavior. (For now).
The pricing depends on demand and supply, Airbnb doesn't set the prices, it can recommend prices, however the final decision is with the hosts.

So in a place with a lot of demand and little supply, the prices tend to be high and vice versa. Airbnb pricing is really a small projection of your local housing and rental market. I've managed to find cheaper places to stay on Airbnb than hotels and vice versa.

Note that Airbnb does take a service fee, but in reality so does your hotel.
Childbearing under 18 is not low risk.

The electoral map of the UK is more hard-brexit than the popular vote. There are many seats where brexit won 60+% or even 70+%. That means that there are a lot of MPs who, though they may wish to Remain, also wish to remain as _MPs_, and that means they cannot be overtly Remain.
note that you say a potential election might not yield a remain result - in fact I would suggest that it will certainly not. Even if every remain voting constituency somehow formed a government (impossible with even just SNP and Labour tensions), it would not be close to enough seats to form a government.

The standards for pre-college education are pretty low.

When I compare what my kids get in college with what I did in public schools circa 1990, 7th grade is enough. Education is shockingly inefficient.

If you can write a paragraph, you're ready for the first writing class. Unless you can get AP credit, you won't escape being forced to take that class, so why waste half a decade when you can start immediately? You can probably complete the college classes faster (2 semesters) than pre-college schooling would take you from "can write a paragraph" to "scored a 4 on AP English Composition".

The same goes for math. Knowing a bit about fractions and decimals is enough to start. You can skip the first college class if you can simplify expressions, solve sets of 2 equations, and deal with inequalities. Skipping anything more would require AP Calculus, but that still wouldn't get you out of the math credit hour requirements. You might as well just start college earlier.

If those college expectations sound like high school or lower to you, then you're old and you're starting to understand. College is the new high school, if even that. We decided to pass all high school students, with "individual education programs" as needed to avoid maintaining standards, and to expect everybody to go to college. This is the result.

Most of them are based on "comps", a set of comparable companies to the company you're valuing. You then look at financial valuation ratios for those comps, and apply them to the company you're valuing. Commonly, people look at:

* P/E (trailing or forward earnings)

* Enterprise value / EBITDA (trailing or forward)

* Enterprise value / revenue (trailing or forward)

If comparable companies trade at 15x next-twelve months earnings, and the company you're valuing is expected to earn $10M in the next year, you value the company at equity value of $150M.

Enterprise value = total debt of a company + total market value of equity - cash

EBITDA is Earnings before Interest, Taxes Depreciation and Amortization and is a proxy for a business' operating cash flow (as opposed to profits, which are not always the same as cash flows).
