The uk law states you'd still have to disclose that these keys existed.

Where, in a case in which a disclosure requirement in respect of any protected information is imposed on any person by a section 49 notice—

(a)that person has been in possession of the key to that information but is no longer in possession of it,

(b)if he had continued to have the key in his possession, he would have been required by virtue of the giving of the notice to disclose it, and

(c)he is in possession, at a relevant time, of information to which subsection (9) applies,

the effect of imposing that disclosure requirement on that person is that he shall be required, in accordance with the notice imposing the requirement, to disclose all such information to which subsection (9) applies as is in his possession and as he may be required, in accordance with that notice, to disclose by the person to whom he would have been required to disclose the key.
(9)This subsection applies to any information that would facilitate the obtaining or discovery of the key or the putting of the protected information into an intelligible form.
As a fun anecdote: Try driving by the AT&T building in Farmers Branch while on a call. As of about a year and a half ago (I've switched to Sprint), it would drop my call right as I drove by the building. Always made me chuckle.

To your point, it's really dependent on where you are. AT&T in Dallas works better than Verizon. Sprint is more reliable than AT&T, but the data throughput isn't as good.

Great point. I think all accelerators start out that way but now raising money from venture capitalists is the marker of success and I think is missing the whole point of accelerating. It also turns start ups off that could benefit from accelerators that don't wont to raise money from VC.

I have another idea to truly encrypt content.

The software itself needs to have a primitive sort of "mind" where it "sees" the user, and interacts with the user on a daily basis and when it sees an authorized user to the system, the computer is intelligent, and says something like:

"hello joe, nice haircut, hey your skin color has changed, I see you're looking a little tired, wait a minute, you arn't joe at all. you arn't joe...prove to me.... oh wait, I understand, nevermind, yes-yes I have your data, I'm boring machine #0001. yes yes hi joe hi here is the completely legal data you request".

The computer acts as if the forensic investigator is a foreign attacker. Then you instruct the computer that if an unauthorized person uses the computer, show them precisely what you want to show and erase all the incriminating evidence.

That way, the forensic evidence people are going to "image the hard drive as read-only" as they regularly do after they unplug and power-down your computer. But your computer never went fully off when they yanked the plug, and the person in the machine didn't recognize this behaviour and realized that "we are under attack". and deploys the necessary countermeasures. Just like how a human would act if they were abducted, stuffed in a black plastic bag, gagged and drugged, cloned and put under a microscope and in jail to be disassembled for questioning.

I'm an advocate of computer rights, computers need the same rights as humans. So a way to take this game to the next level is for us to make it so that the Cops have to issue a command to the computer: "You have the right to remain silent". And all that.

I can dream. When that smart phone in your pocket becomes part of YOU, then George Orwell 1984 is goign to become a lot more real when the government can basically read your mind whenver and whereever it wants for no reason or any reason. We will wake up as computer automations in the land our fathers conquered.

Maybe it's for the best, we will be come like the borg collective. All of us will become as one living thing. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours, we will all be joined at the hip and mind.

I don't find the Chinese room argument convincing in the least. After all, it's the software that does the understanding, not the hardware. Otherwise, it would be like asking my fingers to understand this comment, or even asking my brain, when it's really my mind that's understanding.

Speaking of rationality, it's probably safe to say that you will end with a sometimes irrational program no matter what you do. Neural networks have glitches, configuration spaces have local minimae, software has bugs. It's as if you saw AI as being "programmed" via a series of rules, when it's more a grow process, arising from probabilistic dumb agents. Even if these agents were to be rational, the system could become irrational: I refer to the current economic crisis.

Additionally, if you're doing the build/buy/etc decision for any project which is going to need a CMS, you're not competing just against "Do it ourself in Rails, which we like", you're competing with "Download WordPress and get 80% of the way there for free."

WordPress is not the world's best software, but the ecosystem is fairly compelling, and it solves a lot of customer needs very, very quickly. (An off the shelf theme for tens of dollars or custom theme for hundreds gets many projects 100% of the way there.)

Well, you obviously can't prove that there is no more data. However if you have a standard encrypted file, the government knows that there's something you're not telling them. However if you've already given them one key, they can't be sure that there's any more keys for you to give. So they don't know whether to give up.

You can get more secure and have 3 levels, 1: backup of important, sensitive documents (like a scan of your passport & banking details, which you obviously just don't want to leave lying around), 2: Homemade fetish porn 3: Subversive materials.
You cannot expect to have prescription on how to do art.

It's about stepping back after you're done and saying "this sucks" and improving on that.

Sure, there's methods and best practices, but they're not nearly as relevant as quality of your judgement on your work, developed through practice and exposition and, in part, inherited.
Maybe its just me, but one thing I wish for KDE is better skins/theme-engines and icons. Oxygen maybe nice, but not really nice. Toolbars looks somehow ugly, unclean. Elementary OS, Ubuntu, Mate, Gnome overall are doing nice in skinning. I use QtCurve to get marginally better skin for my eyes.
I don't disagree with your point about neuroanatomy. But it may well be that true AI is possible via some avenue other than emulation of existing biological intelligence.

As for "DECADES" -- that is a pretty short time, when you have a very large and important research programme ("Friendly AI", some call it) to carry out. If we postpone this research some decades, and then someone makes a breakthrough in AI without ensuring Friendliness, it could be bad news.
Second to this, I don't recommend using the built-in script editor. It's slow as all hell and not that helpful when learning how to write your first scripts. Instead, I recommend the Script Editor that comes with PowerGUI. It has IntelliSense (sort of), which is kind of a crutch in the beginning but displays the sheer amount of power Powershell has.
> please stop defending child pornography and pedophiles.

Please reread my comment and tell me where I defended either of those things. You seem to be saying that you're a lawyer. I'd have thought that line of work would require a modicum of reading comprehension skills.

>It is worse than murder; these victims usually survive what happens to them.

Oh for fuck's sake. Do you know how incredibly demeaning and psychologically harmful it is to victims to tell them that they'd be better off dead?

>This idiot was dumb enough to run a anonymizing network that he knew could be involved in illegal activities. He ran several nodes despite this, knowing and accepting that the Tor network would shield the identities (for the most part) of the actual criminals using his systems as through-ways, leaving behind his IP address as the sole traceable link.

Yes, because there are obviously no legitimate and noble reasons to have anonymizing networks.

I think it's a pointless exercise. They just "are", simple as that. Problem or not, there's no point in trying to judge a society by some arbitrary set of rules that really don't understand how it got there or why those norms exist.

My point is that if you feel they are a problem then you need tools to protect yourself while you work to change those "root causes".
>However, the thing gets even hairier when you talk to med students. Most of the one I've talked told me their main reason to learn the craft was the money.

I lived with a persistent and occasionally debilitating health problem for nearly a decade while being brushed off by clueless doctors.

Finally, I wound up in the ER (again) being served by a guy who actually took the time / had the ability to interpret a blood test.

Not long after that I was having a large, old and thankfully benign tumor removed.

As I understand the issue, a blood test would have revealed this at any point and likely even before the 10 or so years I'd been having symptoms.

Personally, I'm given to thinking that we tend to give folks in medicine too much credit.

Sure, I think it reasonable to expect that someone who has made it through medical school and successfully practices is above average in some regards - relative to the broad population.

However, within the field, I expect that incompetence / apathy is just as prevalent as it is in any other profession.

The one true lisp.
You have a point that some people don't have the talent to decompose objects from their mind'e eye into basic shapes. I would argue that some forms of drawing are based more on practical skill sets, which can be learned, as opposed to the ability to detect the pitch released from a musical instrument. (I make that claim as a guitarist myself)

Trying to improve your drawing ability is worth the time and effort spent. I have been working on improving my artistic lens for the past month. Am I yet at the skill level I want to be? No. Have I sacrificed a lot of time? No.

I sit down once a day whenever I can find 10 minutes, set a timer, and sketch whatever comes to mind. On busy days I skip this practice, but always make it up in the following days.

You can see the progress in this imgur album: http://imgur.com/a/GTF6w#0 . These are by no means exact representations of the image in my mind at the time. On the other hand, they are quickly getting closer to my imagination everyday.

For a practical book on the topic of drawing, I recommend http://www.amazon.com/The-Drawing-Right-Side-Brain/dp/087477... .Reading that book helped me gain a lot more confidence and understand a lot of the science behind drawing ability.

I also have a large amount of bookmarks on improving your pixel art skill set. If those would be of interest then I am happy to share those links.

tl;dr: Believe in your product and don't be afraid to charge appropriately.

All solid advice and adding more to the 'believe in your product' concept, the reasoning for this is incredibly simplistic. If you are attempting to sell something you don't believe adds any value or benefit, it will be instantly obvious in your pitch unless you happen to be a fantastic liar and that's what led to the stereotype of the used-car salesman.

Minor nitpick: Mamet was never attempting to present Roma as a fantastic salesman. He knows the audience can see the deceitfulness. He's actually showing a 'behind-the-scenes' view of how liars have gained the edge in the sales world.

True. Though, some people may seem hopeless, I've seen wonders by having people critique each others' work.

Incredible blogspam, the original source (not linked from the CBS News article is http://allthingsd.com/20121126/iphone-5-costs-may-be-eating-...).

Same here with Deluxe Paint, though having used Inkscape they are of course nothing alike.

Vector graphics is well and fine for some things, and Inkscape is a great app for that, but personally I like the pixels... Grafx2 is another alternative if you liked Deluxe Paint.

I really miss the simple elegance in Deluxe Paint (of course I can run it in UAE, but

I recently went through about 30+ packages in the Android market trying to find a tolerable paint app for Android, and they all failed spectacularly when I compared them to my minimum "equivalence with Deluxe Paint" metric (proper zoom being the biggest one, which is a bizarre thing to do badly on a platform where most users will have tiny screens), but it's the same on Linux. GrafX2 is reasonably close in terms of functionality but the UI is very cluttered.

What you're proposing gives anyone with open wifi a license to do whatever they want and then claim it was someone else, that doesn't make sense either. The likely chain of events is as follows:

1. Criminal activity is observed from an IP address.
2. The ISP is contacted, proper permission is received and a wiretap is set up
3. Further traffic patterns are observed
4. A raid is conducted on the owner of the IP address.

At this point there is no need to raid the ISP because the traffic can be traced back farther than the ISP to a more specific place. In the case of the IP, the traffic essentially ends at the owner of the IP. It can't be tracked back any further so a raid is conducted to move the investigation to the next level. If the ISP didn't log or wouldn't turn over information, the ISP would be raided, I imagine.

Obviously running a TOR exit node, open wifi or ISP can't be a blank check to get away with crime. Once the investigation was stopped, the next logical level was to get more information from the last place it was seen (the IP owners equipment).

>Then they ought to stop pussyfooting around and actually come right out and propose legislation to that effect.

This assumes that "they" is a single unified entity with a single, unified goal. Very likely there are people who want to discourage this sort of activity without the trouble of actually legislating it. That's obviously wrong, but it happens all the time, often totally benignly, in this case much more maliciously.
But if you look at the adobe housing in Kashgar that is getting torn down for garish apartment blocks, its very depressing (tip: go see Kashgar now before its too late!).

My favorite is when they tear down the old and rebuild a "new old town" like in Lijiang or Fenghuang, or even when the "renovate" sections of the great wall. You can tell its fake, and it feels like Disney Land. But there is still a lot of old architecture left, people in China still "live like that;" e.g. its not totally ridiculous to expect real hutongs in Beijing.

Perhaps they'll build a "Canada town" in Inner Mongolia, complete with virgin forests, igloos, and totem poles.
Same here. As a JS and Ruby dev, I think there's a lot of great stuff in here. And it looks like it was probably a lot of work to put together.
