The police are trying to accomplish at least two objectives in the "information gathering" (pre-arrest) phase:

1. Figuring out what happened here, broadly. If you didn't do it, it truly seems like a good idea to help them with this function. It's easy to conceive of a situation where talking to them can help you here.

2. Collecting information to enable them to charge and testify against someone with. You really don't want to help them with this phase if the someone is you. Which it is. It's much better to deal with this area in court, where you get to see/evaluate/challenge their evidence before making statements.

The problem with talking to the police in this pre-arrest phase is that you don't know what objective they're trying to achieve. Truth is, they don't either. They get to decide retroactively if something you said to them at this phase will be used as evidence against you, as evidence against someone else, or just discarded.

Worse: in the US, what you said to them can never help you in court. "He told me he was at the scene of the crime" will help convict you, "He told me he he wasn't anywhere near the scene of the crime" will be thrown out as here-say.

Given this situation, hindering objective #2 outweighs helping objective #1.
Leave it to Microsoft to spread FUD about any technology they never planned on supporting anyway. Also, the author is right. WebGL will gain popularity with or without Microsoft, not only inside the Windows ecosystem, but on other modern browsers (all besides IE actually), but especially on other platforms, such as Chromebooks, Mac, iOS and Android. Just wait until Facebook webstore appears. I think we'll see many WebGL games in there.
Same Facebook, different day. Diaspora should have scaled better...
I specifically chose to talk about a scale, because I do agree that it is not black and white.

There is however a difference between: earning money as a goal and improving lives as a means (improved quality of life being a byproduct) and wanting to improve lives (and as such quality of life) and earning money only being a requirement to sustain those activities.

But perhaps startups are not way to go for the latter, which is why I am curious if there are any startups taking this route (or perhaps have tried and failed).

That said, from PG's point of view as an investor, the important thing is to get to an exit, and hope that for the sake of the company, part of what makes the founders 'good' is the ability to recognize when it's time to step aside.

With all due respect, I think that you are missing the point.

Yes, the uprisings in the Arab world is a very big thing. Which is very much connected to my point of criticizing the largest ISP in the U.S. merging with the largest content provider. And the lack of media coverage in not only American media coverage, but world media coverage. Keep in mind that the economies of General Electric (which owns NBC-Universal) and Comcast are larger than most nations in the world. Needless to say they weild a significant amount of political power outside of the U.S.

The Internet was invented in the United States and it was invented as an open medium (decentralized), this is the reason why totalitarian dictators in the Arab world have such a hard time blocking communication within their regimes that is critical of them. This construct is severely jeopardized by the merger of these two companies... and once this construct is altered in the U.S. it will permeate the entire globe, including the Arab world.

I do not want this to happen... but no one is talking about it... and that is a major problem. This problem is not just the United States' problem, it is the world's problem.
I wish you the best of luck and hope that you are never the target of a criminal investigation. As someone who has been, on more than one occasion, I'm saying that this is suicidal advice.

To be clear, the only reason I'm even digging in here is because I worry that someone might actually take your advice and wind themselves up in jail.

You have to weigh two things: How likely you are to be found guilty when you are not (because of what you say) vs. how likely you are to convince the cops you have nothing to hide and not get arrested in the first place.

You're simply not in a position to weigh either of those two things: you don't have all of the information that the cops have about the investigation, and you have no idea how they might twist your words down the road.

That is an awesome idea. As long as the person wasn't creepy and I didn't already have a ride, anybody trying to get my attention for a business proposition could get it this way.

There were people who didn't buy iPhone even when it was available on their carrier. The world is big. The potential of the tablet market is pretty huge.

Is country/peasant worker vs city worker an ethnic divide?

The distinction you're looking for is "Han Chinese" versus "everyone else." China's outlying rural provinces have significant populations -- often pluralities or majorities -- from ethnic groups which are not Han Chinese, which is the dominant economic group in China and which is the portion of China largely winning from economic growth. For example, there are several large, predominantly Muslim ethnic groups in the border provinces, by the *stans and what have you. Plus Tibetans, etc, etc.

It is possible that this ethnic conflict eventually gets resolved like the Yamato vs. Everyone Else conflict in Japan: the nation of Japan became coextensive with Yamato Japanese and everyone basically pretends that Japan is monoethnic. (This would have been Serious News To Us for most of Janaese history.) It is also possible that China goes along a more Russian or Balkan path.

It is also possible, I suppose, that China resolves its ethnic issues by some combination of ethnic cleansing and genocide, which would not be new.

Am I misunderstanding something? Wouldn't she be better positioned to resist the effects of the male? She has had 22 years worth of advances, and is dealing with a "primitive" male.

Still, there is no reason to take needless risks. Most may be helpful and polite, but the balance of power is not in your favor. There are way too many laws to make sure you are always on the right side. There may also be honest but false recollections both for you or the police.

Would people refusing to talk to the police actually make catching criminals harder? Perhaps. But that just means the legal system needs important simplifications. Also, the balance of power needs to shift in favor of the citizen.

Since the article is about travelling from the future, I would assume that that it's the males who have 22 years of advances.
The article proposes that "attacks" and "defences" may evolve cyclically, rather than "upwards" - as an (unrealistically) extreme example, it's better to be a clockwise-turning female duck when most males are counterclockwise-turning and vice versa.

Hang on just a minute - you're saying that only the guilty take legal advice? That's crazy! I wouldn't go along to a sales pitch without a decent salesman, why should the law be any different?

If you are innocent cooperate as much as you possibly can - up until you are arrested.

By then it's too late; try googling "Miscarriage of justice." It's not unknown for the police to frame suspects - if you go along lawyered-up, the chances of the police fabricating evidence from your confusion will be greatly reduced.

I'm not sure I understand your use of the term dynamic dispatch. Single dispatch is pretty run of the mill, basically everyone does it if they do OOP. Multiple dispatch used to be a lot less common but these days most interesting languages can attain equivalent functionality e.g. even C# can now achieve some semblance of multiple dispatch using 'dynamic'.

The really interesting mode of dispatch is predicate dispatch since it generalizes pattern matching and all forms of dynamic dispatch. I haven't seen it done fully or with wide use yet. Clojure, Lisp, Haskell (views) and F# (active patterns) all have close approximtions of it. But I don't think that is what you meant.

Best I can figure from what you mean based on naming smalltalk, ruby , lisp is that you mean powerful reflection and metaprogramming abilities in the language.

-----------------------------

You know, the fact that you mention dynamic dispatch and Transfinite numbers in the same post makes you a really cool person in my book but its not fair on Cantor to perpetuate the myth that he went crazy trying to grapple with infinity. He struggled with depression through out his life.

Note also that you don't even have to invoke the transfinite numbers to get some craziness. I am sure you know that the reals are pretty weird themselves - really more an indictment on nonconstructive mathematics.

...Pick a real at random, and the probability is zero that it's accessible - the probability is zero that it will ever be accessible to us as an individual mathematical object...

http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/HistTopics/Real_numbers_...

p.s. if you like transfinite numbers then you may be interested in reading about jaina mathematics who had a notion of sets and mathematics on infinite numbers nearly 1000 years before Cantor.

This is the perennial theological question about charity: do you measure goodness based on charitable intent or on charitable results? Say getting money to poor folks in India is a charitable result with nearly-universal support here. It is doubtful Microsoft scores very high on the intent scale there, but they have probably done more for poor Indians this year than all active charities and all foreign government aid in history. I love Mother Teresa, but aside from the poor's spiritual needs, if moving them into the middle class is a goal worth pursuing than economic growth has been really freaking effective and charity not so much.

This is one of the reasons Twilio excites me so much, incidentally. (Disclaimer: commercial relationship.) Cheap mobile phones have been a huge, huge, huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge win for the global poor.

It's not grounds. They already have grounds or they wouldn't be talking to you in the first place. But if they are unsure (which they usually are) a lawyer will tip the balance toward definite arrest.

A good lawyer will get you out later sure. But he can't prevent the arrest in the first place.

Citation, please. A good lawyer will absolutely prevent arrest by stopping you from saying something that implicates yourself, regardless of whether you're innocent or not.

If they are "holding you" you are basically arrested.

What about your passwords to your real-life bank accounts?

Your bank has ways to make that more secure. If someone logs into your account from a strange IP (e.g. different country from the bank and customer), if someone tries to transfer money online, you might need to enter another password (which they might not have), or it might be based on a fob that generates a code. If you do manage to transfer money to your account, they can now follow the money to find out where you are and arrest you.

BitCoin stealing doesn't have any of these drawbacks, so is probably a much more tempting target.
