Silkroad Salvation
A pleasant fiction, but a well-operated monopoly will move to crush nascent competition by undercutting them in price or securing their supplies—and thus their ability to produce at all—at prices that cannot be competed with by a smaller entity.

This isn't to say that it wouldn't be possible to defeat a monopoly eventually, just that it's not as straightforward as you make it sound. Indeed, historically, monopolies seem to have required government intervention to be dismantled (Standard Oil, AT&T, etc), though perhaps that's simply defining monopolies as those entities that the government dismantled as such.

Regardless, I think this is one of the two “silver bullet”-style myths that likes to float around the area of government regulation: one, that less regulation is always better, the other, that more regulation is always better. In essence, a refusal to acknowledge that regulation is and should be in a fluid state, adapting to what the market is doing at any given moment—and ideally ahead of the curve, rather than reacting after financial or other disaster has already struck.

For one of my current projects, I found myself in a similar position. I actually ended up picking Go instead of C++, since it's a language I've been wanting to learn for a while, and the feature set intrigues me. I have yet to see how this decision pans out though.

Yeah, that would be cool. I used to work that way too. These days my coding usually requires a pdf reader and web browser at some point.

It would be cool to be able to launch an OpenGL app without X though.
From the article:

"If during a support call a technician asks a customer to enter a short code, CIQ will be listening for it; when it’s entered, CIQ will relay the appropriate diagnostic information to the carrier. Any keystrokes beyond that are ignored."

Their explanation then, for monitoring keystrokes, is that they are waiting for a diagnostic code to be entered by the user. Presumably this can be done from anywhere within the phone, on any platform, without regards to running applications.
Durham here.
NLP is hard, particularly for highly general problems conducted on small samples of text.

Here's a problem case that you will find to be very common: a 20-second post with the right answer to a difficult problem by someone who's busy and typing on their phone. Riddled with typos, weird corrections, transposition errors, etc. - but still something you'd want to be a high-ranking result.
Saying that the nVidia drivers are "at the top of the pile" doesn't say much for the competition.

Just a few of the problems that I have had:

1) In a 2 Monitor setup there is no way to rotate one of the monitors into portrait mode without the other unless you create them as 2 seperate X sessions.

2) Fullscreen almost any OpenGL app/game and it will span across both monitors, which just looks weird.

3) A very odd issue where on my second monitor the fonts will randomly screw up or parts of a window randomly become transparent and I can see the window behind (seems to happen mostly with flash) through it. Only way to fix it is to disable and then re-enable monitor.

Yes, I used to have an ATI card and I can confirm that it had just as many if not more issues.
It's basically a 6 hours long blood donation. Hardly what most people think as surgery.

I agree you can't force them to go through with it, but the effort needed versus the outcome if successful are not even comparable.
Unless you think all the people upvoting don't fall into the good hackers category (and how could you know that if you did think so), that it is so highly upvoted should give you a clue.
How do you capture a subset of data without capturing it all (and discarding what doesn't match)? If you are doing a find in a document, don't you scan through the entire document and discard whatever isn't what you want? It sounds like that's the explanation they are trying to give.
That's always an issue with open-sourcing any large code base.

It's always been worked around before.

Entirely agree, I remember my first Linux install (Suse 6.x) seeing all of those messages fly onto the screen , first from the bios and then from Linux. It would go straight to a text login then I would type "startx" to get the GUI up.

Also made it much easier to tell WTF was going on with your system and displayed all those warning messages that I am guessing are just hidden away now unless you happen to look at dmesg.
Based on what I've read, none of the investigations actually looked at what data was reported back.

My money is on Carrier IQ providing a valuable service in a somewhat sub-optimal way with regards to privacy, and carriers probably doing a really shoddy job of integrating it into the phones they distribute.

The DMCA is a collection of several laws. What people flipped out over (and are still disgruntled about) are the grotesquely overreaching DRM circumvention provisions and penalties.

Safe harbor was generally ignored at the time the real furor occurred, and subsequently people have tarred the whole law with the same brush, but I've pretty much always thought the safe harbor provisions were reasonable.

And I'd echo rbanffy's basic point. The solution to the problem of SOPA isn't an Overton-window step-2 watered-down SOPA... it's nothing. Society doesn't have a significant problem that so desperately needs solving that we must run the risk of shutting down the growth engine that is the Internet and online economy, which has long since dwarfed the loud-but-much-smaller content industry.

If I had to lay money, I'd bet this passes. But a wise Google and a wise Internet would continue to push back even on the watered down version to make the point. The DMCA safe harbor is just fine as it is.

I just don't understand responding to someone helping someone else by demonizing them for the all people they're not helping. Amit is a member of our community, he's raised awareness for an important issue, what's the problem here?

And I disagree, the whole point of this drive is that the magic donor most likely will be someone mobilized by this community since there are so few potential matches as it currently stands.
The help they requested will go to help an entire ethnic group of people, not just one person. This effectively a massive charity operation using an individual story as a hook. I don't understand how anyone could possibly criticize this as being selfish.

Nice to read an article about someone successfully using C++ in an ordinary way, even with a little OO to it. We know it happens all the time given the volume of C++ in development.

But so many articles are like "C++ isn't OO", "C++ has awful syntax", "C/C++ is insecure", "ZOMG templates", etc.
You guys may be interested in Flynn vs. Holder, which is a court case attempting to strike down the federal prohibition on selling bone marrow.

If you could buy and sell bone marrow, all parties agree that that would happen more frequently than bone marrow donation. The side that believes that would be bad won.

(A brief sketch of the concern: if you allow money into the equation, either a) people who won the marrow lottery could extort money from folks who are dying or b) poor people would be hooked up to machines and have their vital juices sucked out so that rich people could live. A brief sketch of the argument for allowing bone marrow sales: the present law guarantees persistent market undersupply of bone marrow, which, with certainty, kills people.)
I don't think any claims were made that data was being reported back. The mere fact that this third-party utility is monitoring keystrokes, SMS data, Web URLs is what has everyone concerned. If it's discovered that the data is being stored _locally_ on the phone - that would turn out to be a scandal.

I suspect laws would be broken if any of this data was actually being reported _off_ of the device.

Yes, but to be fair, it is more the hedonic treadmill than when goalposts get hiked around in a debate as a bad-faith debating tactic.

San Juan, Puerto Rico!
I'm more or less convinced that you're right about this.

CarrierIQ brought some of this on themselves by reacting terribly to a security researcher's claims regarding their software. Trevor Eckhart claimed CIQ was a "rootkit", and they freaked out and threatened to sue him.

Naturally, everyone now assumes that CarrierIQ is evil, since suing security researchers is almost invariably an evil thing to do.

People are paying less attention to the fact that CarrierIQ subsequently issued a formal apology to Trevor (from experience: companies stung by security researchers virtually never do this; they just back off quietly), and that nobody has really refuted CIQ's claims about what their software does.

The "there's this evil big brother company nobody has ever heard of that a security researcher found out and got sued over" narrative is a lot more fun than the banal reality, so that's what we're all going to run with.

It's also a little amusing to see people wigging out over the privacy of their SMS messages. Their SMS messages have no privacy. The carriers see and log all of them. Lord only knows what other tools they have on their network explicitly for the purpose of mining data out of those messages.

The only way to tell what will happen is to run a trial. That way we can stop conjecturing, and see what actually happens. My guess is it would work pretty well.
I would guess that it's roughly in the same ballpark as non GPL software being able to run on Linux. Just happens to be ring0 rather than ring3.

I don't think it is realistic to expect all drivers to be Free Software especially specifically distributed under GPL. A huge number of Linux drivers are GPL anyway.

What makes you so confident that Linux hackers would have managed to reverse engineer all nVidia's stuff to the point of having a good stable performant driver? Especially considering nVidia release new cards with new capabilities (thus requiring driver modifications) very frequently.

If nVidia had decided that they would release no free driver and therefor no driver at all, I don't see the business case for somebody being paid to develop a free software driver for nVidia cards and it's certainly not a weekend project.
That seems like a really unfair argument. Discussion about CIQ has been rife with people talking about CIQ collecting and reporting keystrokes. The supposition has clearly been that CIQ or the carriers are centrally logging private data.

Given that the carriers already have all your SMS data and phone usage history, I think you're probably wrong on the legal front, too.
Indeed, this site often has good general points, but botches the details. The good general point: Being a skeptic involves reviewing evidence on generally accepted things, as well as implausible things.

The details? Just as you say.
I would argue that they fall under "getting things done". Because they do help people get things done, right? :-)
His vision also sounds quite a bit like Emacs, especially the GTK version.
You actually can't handle classified data, or derive something from classified data, that doesn't automatically classify the derived work (a report, or some such) at at least the same level. To not do that risks releasing the information and you can actually end up in prison over it, or at the very least lose your job.

So in 99% of the cases it's not like you make a decision to "classify" something. It is by its nature classified.

Think of it this way. You have a friend that tells you via email a secret. This secret can only be known between you and your friend. For example, you are arranging a surprise party for a third friend.

Using this knowledge it is your job to get a birthday cake that has the person's name and age (and a decoration) on it. But the only baker in town is also friends with the birthday friend. You don't want to risk the baker leaking the surprise of the cake to your friend. So you decide to buy a blank cake, and decorate it yourself.

This cake is also classified at the same level of the original information (Classified//only between you and your friend). Because it is derived from the knowledge of the birthday party email).

Now your friend prints off decorations with some party specific information, say a sign or some streamers or something. Those are also classified at the same level.

Suppose there are some other odds and ends that are a result of this email and the party plans. Say a "making of video" for the party etc.

Now let's say you also hire a clown for the party. You only provide the clown the time and place to come and perform, not any other details. Because the clown isn't in on the original secret, the arrangements for the clown and the various transaction documents pertaining to it are at a lower classification level. You might still not want the birthday friend to know that somebody he knows hired a clown on his birthday (a convenient coincidence) so you swear the clown to secrecy.

Even if it gets out and the birthday friend asks the clown directly, the clown has plausible dependability and doesn't know why he was hired, only that he was. So it's not good that your friend finds out, but it doesn't entirely screw up the surprise.

I'm stretching the analogy a bit, but hopefully that makes it clear how knowledge of single piece of information (the email that established the surprise party) can end up producing so many classified documents and how that process happens.
Fair enough. It is amazing what people are willing to put up with if you meet 1 and 2 though. :-)
Two plausible answers:

(a) Because the carriers don't want you to, if only because it would increase support costs to have to walk users through turning it back on, but probably mostly because normal people don't really care about the stuff CIQ is intended to do.

(b) Because the feature for disabling CIQ with cell service disabled makes zero money for any party involved and therefore has slipped every MRD given to its engineering team.
VaporEdu?
At (grave) risk of being repetitive: if you don't trust your carrier with your personal information, you shouldn't be using Android phones on their network. CIQ or not, carriers have vastly more information about most people to work with than e.g. Google.
agreed. Very suspicious timing. What ever happened to all of those Bank of America files they were supposed to release? I read on of their power point presentations and it gave absolutely no information. Made me think of this speech given by Richard Thieme http://danielmillsap.com/blog/technology-news/black-hat-2011...

Dabbawala system is not available in Bangalore, it is in Mumbai. But Dabbawalas solve a different problem. They are just a well-connected delivery system.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dabbawala
This explanation is very interesting. I'd like to be able to share with my carrier when a call is dropped and when a web page doesn't load, but I don't want that being done automatically. Make a list for me, and I'll send it along to the carrier once a month after making sure there's nothing I want kept a secret there. Also, I should be getting paid to do this, because my job as a customer is not to make some big company's product better.

It's a nice try to include software to do this in the background with no way to opt out, but with the cat out of the bag, the carriers are going to have to figure something else out. (I use Cyanogen Mod so I doubt this affects me at all. But it's annoying to discover that the reason behind closed bootloaders and firmwares is to spy on me behind my back without permission. Good thing they employ shitty developers to write that code!)
You seem to be of the mindset that "Open Source" means "other people will be eager to contribute". That's not necessarily the case. If you want people to contribute, you need to give them a reason to do so. People like contributing to high-quality projects. If the first impression of your project indicates a lack of quality, this will deter people from looking any further.
The point was, snarfing $20 every time someone feels insecure is not an honest business model.
