You...include their Javascript on your site to even be able to make the JSONP calls in the first place. Their "arbitrary Javascript" is on your domain already.

You certainly could audit it, locally mirror it, and then do that every time they publish an update, but are you actually going to do that?

I'm not disagreeing at at all your point. Only noting that the general rights to privacy are (for good or bad) hinging on 'reasonable' expectations. If the public and the police are not in a 'fair fight' so to speak, this is a problem and should be taken up. We just need to frame the problem. Properly though, so it makes sense.

Right now, it does seem pretty unreasonable to expect citizens to line their house with lead shielding, for example, to keep from being visually intruded upon. Because the cost and complexity, if nothing else.

The wi-fi example is more tricky, because of a couple areas. You are technically using unlicensed public spectrum in 2.5ghz. You can secure it (somewhat) with simple, lo-cost steps, etc. Its broadcasting signal beyond your propert lines, etc.

Now, what about 3G datacard? Thats protected because not only is it encrypted but its a 1 to 1 telco connect which requies a warrant. 1 to 1 calls are not exempt from warrant requirements. are on private spectrum. and because 1 to 1 their is no broadcast element. etc. Even though this too is lookingh alot like wi-fi in a diagram (radio, spectrum, mobile etc)

So, these are some things in the context that are relevant. Generally, if the authorities have 007 technology that we cannot see, hear, smell, detect or ever reasonably avoid, then we have a major problem. This is one reason we need transparency (no pun intended).

Will be of interest to see when that lines are crossed.
What if you could "read television?" Serialized fiction for digital devices.
Have you only read Churchill's quote on the matter, or have you actually looked at various forms of governments throughout the ages? (Not just the post-WW1 ones.) If democracy is so good for a State, why aren't corporations and military institutions modeled after it? I second the recommendation in this thread for "Democracy: The God that Failed". It has its problems and the author does not fully explore monarchism and related systems, only showing that monarchy is superior to democracy, and then he falls back to the comfort of his anarcho-capitalist views and rejection of the need of a State, but it's still an excellent read.

> More succinctly, Mr. Musk would have a much lesser impact as POTUS than as himself in his current role.

There's no way to know for sure, but I'm curious about your reasoning. I'm not sure if I'd even agree with you. A technology and science focused president could do a lot of good, not least of all changing the mindset of people. Of course it'll be hard to get anything done with all the bipartisanism and opposition but that's a separate issue.

How so are they incompatible with free speech?

In most jurisdictions they boil down to a right for the creator of the work to receive or deny attribution (the latter if the integrity of the work has been compromised; e.g. consider if I wrote a political manifesto and somebody decided to republish it under my name but insert statements endorsing fascism on every page with the intend of discrediting me).

This does not prevent your ability to exercise speech - it places some small limitations on how you can attribute the work, that are far less restrictive than estate rights.

Some jurisdictions extend moral right somewhat farther, but compared to estate rights the restrictions are tiny and they all apply to your ability to duplicate other peoples creative works, not your ability to exercise your own speech.

I am very curious to see why you believe moral rights impact free speech in any significant way.

Absolutely right, there's no end to it. What I hope the reader will achieve is the basic ability to prototype their ideas. That's where I am. In no way do I think I've learned all there is to code. Every day I'm learning precisely how little I know. Heck, I just started learning Lisp and truly enjoying how unfamiliar and powerful functional programming can be.

Democracy does give the government an image of legitimacy, but it's nearly as controlled by the special interests of the powerful, at the expense of the ordinary weak, as other forms of government. I don't know of any form of government provably superior to democracy, but much of the empowerment of democracy is illusory.

> Of course it'll be hard to get anything done with all the bipartisanism and opposition but that's a separate issue.

That's actually my point though, which is purely pragmatic. In a world where we don't have to account for politics, sure, I'd love to see what would happen if scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs were to govern. In a world where most of the time in government seems, to this observer, to be spent politicking, I'd rather see people like Mr. Musk doing his own thing.
Competence in science and engineering doesn't equate to competence in politics and governance.
You're right, there's always some retrospective bias, but I'll never get back those days of reading about PHP, since reading Python accomplished the same and actually was much nicer for a beginner. The truth is, your MVP will evolve and will require you to learn things, new languages and new technologies. The fun is never over. For me it's continuing and im so glad of that.
You can put Graphic, UI, and UX all under the umbrella of "Design" if you like. They are specialties in the way that front-end, back-end, or database engineering are all specialties.

You can also have one person doing all of them, the same way you can have a single engineer at your company, but very very very few people can do all three well, and on many projects there is too much work for any one person to do.

Also, much of UX design doesn't necessariy fall under the category of web design. A UX designer is looking at the entire product experience, which would potentially include things advertising, customer service, advertising, etc.

You can use the shorthand "designer"... that's fine. But you can't just wish away entire professions. There are pairs of Graphic and Experience Designers who have almost nothing in common in terms of responsibilities and skills.
Lachman's numbers are wrong. Not that those numbers are innaccurate, but that they aren't comparing the right numbers. According to Lachman, the price to connect a single home via fiber is $1250. The price that Google is selling it's service for is $70 a month. If there is no maintenance cost, the return on investment starts happening at month 18 of service. Assuming maintenance costs are a little less than half the installation costs, that gives us around $600 per year.

Cost to Connect: $1250 - $300 = $950

Cost to Maintain/Year: $600

Price/Year: $840

So, assuming that the income chart looks sort of like this, then the point at which it becomes profitable is 4 years. And this assumes that Google doesn't get more efficient.
Interesting.

Your free speech in the US does not extend to the right to burn any specific flag, but to the act of burning a flag as a political expression, so this would only restrict your speech in cases where destroying a specific, unique work is important to the speech.

Maybe there are specific cases where doing so is an important message, but conversely giving you that right would give you the right to destroy the speech of others.

How is giving you that right furthering free speech?

Actually, "douched up" is exactly what I wanted. "Fucked up" would be too severe and suggests irreversibility (which is not the case) and the types of people who would be attracted by the exclusivity would be douchebags.
But there is in this case, you have to take extraordinary steps and specifically ask your network card to enter a special mode to start recording these conversations.

They aren't public at all as there is an expectation at the protocol level that you ignore the message that aren't intended for you. And they're explicitly flagged that they're not for you.

You're opening mail addressed to someone else and you know you're doing it. It's not legal to start opening other people's mail because it's lying in the same hallway as yours. This is exactly the same thing.

This judge just doesn't understand that. The legal expert is right, the judge will end up with egg on his face.

Why they don't just do a bit of street theatre like 'Here is a letter addressed to the judge. Because of the way the postal system works I got it as well. I am now opening it and reading it. Is this ok? No. Of course not. It's not for me. This is exactly what they deliberately did but it's just digital.'

The policeman having more restrictions does not automatically mean you have fewer restrictions.

Your recording is also likely to pick up the conversation of the people nearby saying "hey look at that".
Great point. I've always said that the danger with thinking you are awesome is that it makes you stop learning.

I used to think I was awesome back when I didn't know anything more than a single language and paradigm. It's only years later by seeing a second language, then a third and by looking at other projects' sources that I realized how silly being awesome really is.

After a decade of writing code, I've reached the point where I learned enough to admit I know next to nothing.
'The Anthropology of Innovation' at the Computer History Museum
None of this should come as a surprise. Remember when Google was asking cities across America to apply for the privilege of being the first city to have Google Fiber? Cities were competing against each other for Google Fiber.

Google didn't choose Kansas City for no reason. They chose them because KC was willing to be abnormally accommodating in letting Google roll out. After all, if you're going to launch an ambitious, experimental project, you want regulatory red-tape to be the least of your worries.
So if all traffic including wifi was encrypted with very strong crytography, that's OK? If we show people using computer networks for communication (i.e. billions of people) how to use strong cryptography, that might not be good?

Bad guys might use cryptography. So we should keep all traffic open to sniffing? Plus, keeping traffic unencrytpted creates jobs, doesn't it? e.g., with companies that do data mining and such. It might deny innovative companies like Google the ability to gather data and improve their services.

It's all so confusing.
xdr.js will mostly work for IE7/8 as far as I can tell.
I've got to agree with you an many others in the comments. The thing that "doesn't sit right" is that Google is looking at alternative ways to benefit their company while benefiting the community. There's always going to be a risk of monopoly. In Australia, the fiber roll-out is government owned and funded, replacing a former government telco monopoly with a current government telco monopoly. If the price is right and there's still competition, I think we should be vigilant but happy.

I'm fairly sure that Google is paying a lot less than $1250 per customer.

1) it costs a lot less to wire a whole neighbourhood than to wire a single house

2) kansas city was chosen because they could run the fiber on telephone poles rather than digging trenches (and they're not paying anything for access to those poles)

Google has stated that the $300 cost they're charging is the cost of wiring up a home, and I believe thats what they think it will cost. There probably will be overages and complications they don't have in their model, but I think that $300 is fairly close.
I get synchronous 200mbps from Webpass for $450 a year. They don't provide content or services on top of that, which means they don't have incentives to analyze my data, nor will they attain perverse infrastructural advantages over other online services. It is the proverbial "dumb pipe" many here wish they had. And I'm very happy with that.

I don't want a world where Google runs my internet connection any more than I want a world where Microsoft, Apple, Cisco, Amazon or Facebook does.

I agree, and I think Google could have more in mind then just replacing television providers (no small feat). They can start to eliminate television channels. Why must NBC, CBS, or ESPN exist? If Google did "adwords" for television they just allow producers to release a show and then Google injects per-user targeted ads. Google's choice of a tablet as a remote hints at more interactive TV, not just big 30-second commercials, but opportunities to buy, learn, tag, etc. while you're watching a show. It gives producers more control over their content and an opportunity to look at different ways to fund the show's production. Forget 30 minutes show slots... do 48, or 10, or whatever makes sense.

Sure, it probably means more ads, but it could mean more innovative, targeted, and available content too.

Free Android Job App: Jobs for Oracle Professionals
Hello -
I have created several free Android apps to help job seekers search for a job. The apps are free without any pop-up advertising (Although I do have 2 small Google Adsense ads in the header and footer area).

The above is a link to one of the apps titled "Jobs For Oracle Gurus." As the name suggests, it displays Oracle related jobs across the United States.

Do you have any suggestions for what types of jobs you'd like to see for a free Android app?

Thank you for your time and thanks for looking.

Are Hackers Heroes?
During my tenure at NetApp I got to see all sorts of really really interesting disk problems and the lengths software had to go to reliably store data on them. Two scars burned into me from that were 1) disks suck, and 2) disks are not 'storage'.

The first part is pretty easy to understand, storage manufacturers have competed for years in a commodity market where consumers often choose price per gigabyte over URER (the unrecoverable read error rate), further at the scale of the market small savings of cents adds up to better margins. And while the 'enterprise' fibre channel and SCSI drives could (and did) command a hefty premium, the shift to SATA drives really put a crimp in the over all margin picture. So the disk manufacturers are stuck between the reliability of the drive and the cost of the drive. They surf the curve where it is just reliable enough to keep people buying drives.

This trend bites back, making the likely hood of an error while reading more and more probable. Not picking on Seagate here, they are all similar, but lets look at their Barracuda drive's spec sheet [1]. You will notice a parameter 'Nonrecoverable Read Errors per Bits read', and you'll see that its 1x10e14 across the sheet, from 3TB down to 250GB. It is a statistical thing, the whole magnetic field domain to digital bit pipeline is one giant analog loop of a error extraction. 1x10E14 bits. So what does that mean? Lets say each byte is encoded in 10 bits on the disk. Three trillion bytes is 30 trillion bits in that case, or 3x10E13 bits. Best case, if you read that disk from one end to the other (like you were re-silvering a mirror from a RAID 10 setup) you have a 1 in 3 chance that one of those sectors won't be readable for a perfectly working disk. Amazing isn't it? Trying to reconstruct a RAID5 group with 4 disks remaining out of 5, look out.

So physics is not on your side, but we've got RAID 6 Chuck! Of course you do, and that is a good thing. But what about when you write to the disk, the disk replies "Yeah sure boss! Got that on the platters now" but it didn't actually right it? Now you've got a parity failure waiting to bite you sitting on the drive, or worse, it does write the sector but writes it somewhere else (saw this a number of times at NetApp as well). There are three million lines of code in the disk firmware. One of the manufacturers (my memory says Maxtor) showed a demo where they booted Linux on the controller of the drive.

Bottom line is that the system works mostly, which is a huge win, and a lot of people blame the OS when the drive is at fault, another bonus for manufacturers, but unless your data is in a RAID 6 group or on at least 3 drives, its not really 'safe' in the "I am absolutely positive I could read this back" sense of the word.
