I had not heard that quote before but it really spoke to me. That's a very articulate statement of why Guantanamo and other modern injustices "in the name of freedom" are simply not so. I want every despicable terrorist to have a fair trial so that when my time in court comes (if it ever does) I know I'll have a fair chance.
"Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will not hear his Miranda rights before the FBI questions him Friday night" [id.]

This implies he'll be going through a potentially long interrogation with the FBI that may be admittable as evidence, without having been given a Miranda warning. There is definitely something about this application of the "public safety exception", and the stare decisis discussed in the article, that gives cause for concern. We generally prefer citizens to know of their fifth amendment protections prior to a custodial interrogation. The fact he was in possession of a weapon or other armaments in his person should not defeat this aim.
> - They're typically executed when you press Enter. Sometimes you might want to say "always execute this whenever source file changes."

You may use incron [1] for this. incrond watches for file changes and can execute based on file actions.

So essentially, you're trying to say you're better than Steve Jobs because you can program?
It is slightly unreasonable to require the State™ to present evidence in court at this time, when the first priority is to take the wounded suspect to hospital, and ensure that there are no explosives left behind that could kill others.

I do believe that the State™ (in this case, not my state, as I'm not American) has the right and the responsibility to do what they are doing.
Sounds a lot like me. I hear meditation can help. I'll do it tomorrow...
Ahem. :)
Crick was perhaps halfway into a Ph.D. in physics when the war broke out, during which he basically did very applied physics for the British. After the war, he did a Ph.D. under Max Perutz on X-ray diffraction. Crystallography is very useful in biology, but it is itself very far from a biological topic. Crick wrote of experiencing extreme impedance mismatch when he switched from physics to biology and, perhaps most significantly, Watson often referred to Crick as 'the physicist' or to 'having him do the physics' (sorry, I don't have the full text in front of me) in The Double Helix, suggesting that his approach to biological problems was primarily a physical one. It is true that Crick did work under the Medical Research Council, but it is somewhat misleading to say that he was doing medical research in the conventional sense. He was studying the biophysics of cytoplasm, which is not something that people trained in medicine do.

I admit that Hodgkin and Huxley are harder cases: both had early inclinations to physics and then got sidetracked into physiology. Both of them spent the war doing things you'd have a physicist doing during a war, and afterwards did their their famous work on the action potential. I read the Hodgkin and Huxley papers, but I read them in a course in the math department-- they contain some of history's finest examples of mathematical modeling, relying heavily on dynamical systems and circuit theory. It is a regrettably rare biologist who wants to go near those papers. It is manifestly not the work of traditionally trained biologists.

Disciplinary boundaries in mid-century Britain were somewhat different then, and I realize the danger of playing No True Biologist. But the mainstream of biology is only very recently acknowledging the importance of the physical approach: Hodgkin and Huxley could have been Hodgkin and Huxley without a lick of genetics or ethology, but they couldn't have been Hodgkin and Huxley without the cable equation.

wow! For once I thought "did I just write this?". This is just so me, I'm in my 2nd year, CS and 20. Guess what, I have the same problem. I got to thank you for posting this.
That is not relevant. The problem is that she wrote this article mostly to get attention.
Congratulations. Now you know your brain just doesn't work like the typical brain. And that's a good thing. You can see things differently even if there are times when you can't see things the same way the typical person sees them (social cues, body language, but you can still learn to pick those up). Use ADD to your advantage. I'm at least twice your age, but had a similar experience at your age. I'm still trying to finish school but it didn't stop me from developing a career as a software engineer. I can personally attest that exercise and the "no sugar/low carb/paleo diet" mentioned by Dylan. Ambient and trance can also help at times. Lists, small goal, small breaks, help you practice focus. Medicine can help, but only in combination with behavioral therapy. Medicine has side effects, too. Many things will be harder for you to accomplish in a given amount of time while other times you'll be amazed that others are so slow. If your ADD is documented and you are being treated by a medical professional, you can get extra time for assignments, lecture notes in advance, and other accommodations like a private room for exams where you can read out loud along with extended time limits. ADD isn't a limiter to your personal success and happiness. It's a challenge to which you adjust.
First, you are not alone. Many high achieving folks have ADD, and many discover it later in life. Very bright people can get through grade school without realizing they have ADD until they eventually hit their wall. It sounds like you are running into yours.

Understand that this does not mean there is anything wrong with who you are. You could decide to find other strengths or focus on other studies. You could also find an expert who can diagnosis whether you have ADD and help you consider treatment options. The cool thing about ADD is that there is medication that can make a dramatic difference. It's like flipping a switch and becoming that person who suddenly can finish those projects and achieve what you know you are already capable of.

You should find an expert to talk to, and you should look for resources at your university. You could check whether there is a student/academic assistance center. Even though your grades are good (you're by no means failing), there should be folks there with experience diagnosing issues such as ADD.

You could also simply check at the student health center - they should be able to refer you to a psychiatrist. Don't be hesitant to go just because it's a psychiatrist. ADD is nothing like more serious mental issues that we associate with psych. In fact you could say that ADD is just a variation of normal - but the first variation of normal that we have discovered how to hack with meds. Nevertheless, treatment can make a real difference in the quality of your studies, your relationships, and your future success. So it's worth exploring.

And as for your parents, don't let them talk you out of getting the resources you feel you need. It's always possible that one/both of them have it too without realizing it. Most adults these days are diagnosed as a result of their child(ren) being diagnosed first.

Good luck, and hope that wasn't too long and boring to read. :)
I don't know about that last claim. The live news feed on reddit was very well curated, documented, sourced, and community driven for accuracy. Most developments came straight from the police scanner and people close to the scene PLUS a combined gathering of the mainstream news stories to accompany or support items. Some of it was I'm sure had flaws but a lot was pretty accurate from what I could tell.

I agree. If not for the dev, they should do it for the sake of the user experience. A "Try It Out" option would prevent customers from feeling duped when they buy an App that they think looks good but turns out to not be of their liking. Which right now contributes to the customer to be more hesitant of purchasing the next app tomorrow.

More than any negative thing I have ever heard about Steve Jobs, this is the most disappointing to me.
So, it's not practically unenforceable. The case Eric is citing appears to be a case where Someone has an actual good faith but unreasonable belief that they have a cause of action.

That eliminates the "knowingly" part. A lot of DMCA claims, including the one in the OP, are being filed by lawyers or companies who will have a much harder time showing they have a good faith but unreasonable belief. They are basically going to have to argue they are idiots.
The second you can show bad faith, i have trouble believing (and I don't know of any cases where ..) a court would not impute knowledge.

Basically, you want them to have to consider your affirmative defenses (which is what fair use is). While i don't necessarily disagree, to be fair, this would be wholly inconsistent with almost every other area of law.

For example, if i file a negligence claim against you, you bear the burden of proving any affirmative defense to my claim, such as assumption of risk. I don't have to consider it at all when I file my claim, and if you don't prove your defense, i win. This is true no matter how valid your defense may be.
The striking thing about this prediction if true is that it didn't evolve on the Earth.
Justice indeed. Wake me when you're calling for the deaths of the US personnel involved in the drone bombing of the Pakistani wedding, etc.

You just want to feel safe. And watching the good guys kill this guy should provide a quick shot of safety and revenge in what must be a dark and terrified world.

But you can't call it justice if you don't care at all about the details and just want blood.
>Increasing the social safety net, increasing regulations on commerce and business, leveraging the public largesse for greater equality aren't using the same words as "big government", but aren't doable without one.

>I agree with your point in that it was an invective, pithy statement, but the big government categorization wasn't unfounded.

It may take a lot of money to have a social safety net, but we spend a crazy amount on the military, too.

When Republicans say they don't want "big government", it really is entirely a code phrase for the social safety net. Ask any Republican whether trimming $300 billion from the Pentagon's budget would be a good idea, and (except for a few Libertarians) you'll get a resounding no way, with vague references to national security. Despite the fact that the US spends more on the military than all other countries combined.

So no, the "big government" accusation is entirely unfounded. It's all about what they want to spend billions of dollars on, not whether they want to spend it.
Couldn't get it to compile on Ubuntu or OSX 10.8; I am definitely interested though... Is there anything like this that is more stable?
> Why exactly is that hard to understand?

For two reasons:

1) Because it's totally irrelevant. A life is a life. Your life isn't worth more (or less) just because you were killed intentionally (or accidentally). All else being equal, would you rather prevent 100 accidental deaths or 10 intentional murders? Anyone with a shred of morality would save the 100. This isn't "cold analysis". It's prioritizing basic human decency over knee-jerk emotional reactions to sensational events.

2) Because it's inconsistent. If what you really care about is the intent to kill, then you'll focus on run-of-the-mill murders just as much as you focus on sensational bombings. But you don't. So when I try to imagine why you and millions of others care so disproportionately much about the events in Boston, I must eliminate the false reason that "it's because they're intentional." What's left is that you are simply drawn to exciting, sensational, unique events. I can't blame you for that. It's only human. What I can blame you for is having the gall to claim you have the moral high ground. The audacity to condemn people who think rationally about saving lives. It's disgusting to read.

> He's bringing forth a dispassionate, disturbingly cold analysis of an event that should be emotional by any psychological norm before the day has even closed out. It's so outside of social norms as to only be classifiable as an emotional disconnect so extreme it has to be the result of a severe psychological disturbance.

Yes, and 300 years ago it was likely "outside of social norms" to mourn the death of a slave. You're arguing as if behavior being socially normal makes it morally justifiable. That has never been true in the history of the world, and it isn't true today. And one's conformance (or lack thereof) to arbitrary societal norms is certainly not a reflection of psychological disturbance.

You are, quite literally, advocating a herd mentality. Gross.

Please do not equate rational behavior with being a sociopath.

If what RMS says is true (and I admit that I have no way to verify that) and that fertilizer plant is responsible for more deaths than the terrorist attack, then it is a more pressing problem. How can you possibly argue that point (unless dead people as such do not worry you and it is just anger or fear that justifies the actions - but then, who's the sociopath?)

Terrorism is hardly the most pressing problem faced by the US. Due to irrational fears we willingly spend insane amounts of money and have our civil liberties curtailed... To protect us from something that statistically hardly kills more people than lightening.

This is all RMS is trying to point out.

Nobody is saying that these terrorists should not be prosecuted, just that should put this all into perspective.

A rational person interested in the well being of the people would tackle issues like lack of healthcare, edudation, obesity, heart disease, unjust wars, poverty, civil liberties, privacy, etc, etc, just to name a few issues, before tackling terrorism.

An irrational person is driven by fear and anger and thus typically acts against his/her own best interest.
Just FYI - the little &trade; thing doesn't help your arguments be heard. Just the opposite. See also, people who write "Micro$oft".
What's interesting is that there is a whole ecosystem of companies like CipherCloud that do the minimum required to provide solutions for those interested in "compliance," not "security."

My sense has been that their customers are predominately those bound by things like HIPPA or PCI, who want to use cloud services, but can't do it with a straight face unless they can say they're "encrypting" their data.

What their customers want isn't security; it's the minimum required that will allow them to use salesforce.com. Incriminating details on StackExchange aren't a problem because their customers don't already know CipherCloud is insecure, they're a problem because it would make it harder for customers to say they're in compliance with a straight face.

Cannabis certainly didn't help for me (though of course it's hard to isolate its effects amongst everything else). It made me more interested in doing things at first, but my mind would race much more, and I'd find it harder to actually do those things.

I quit a while back and have surprisingly had little urge to do it any more. While I greatly value the difference in perspective it can offer, I was just using it way too often for too long, without even really enjoying it a lot of the time.
What amazes me is how quickly law enforcement starts using various loopholes. It doesn't seem to be necessary here and reading Miranda rights takes less then 30 seconds, still they're not doing it. To think of another example several years ago it was a common knowledge that tasers could be used only when there is threat to others now it is standard practice to taser anyone who doesn't follow police orders.
So I've been googling around and I think I've got most of the pieces of this puzzle figured out (_why was a great, eccentric developer, he disappeared and commited info-suicide).

But what I don't get is why the author of this article waited a year ('So I marked my calendar for the 18th, and waited. That was yesterday.') --- What indication did he have to mark his calendar for the 18th (was this an anniversary?)

I'm so very confused about this, but I'm intrigued.
Because it's lazy. Using quotes like that demonstrates absolutely zero understanding of the topic at hand, just that <notable person> said X, and you are attempting to bring their authority to the current situation, despite the fact that he was clearly not talking about the current situation.

Nuanced, it is not.
Other countries get by fine without having a Miranda law at all so I don't see what the big deal is about. To be honest I thought Miranda was only used in movies to make an arrest sound cool.
I've considered that, but the last time I tried you couldn't use the words iPhone or iPad in a Google Ad. Has that restriction gone away, or how do you work around it?
Your return structure is wrong :-)

A successful growing business is never profitable, most / all the profit is reinvested in the business. There will per se be no investor return relatively speaking.

I recently saw an article this past week that suggests a better structure: the investment is a loan that is forgiven if the business folds.

This is actually better for both sides: the investor gets their money back with some fixed return if the biz succeeds, and the business doesn't have to pay it back if it fails.

Then it becomes a small tech business entrepreneurship Loan/ investment vehicle. In which case the pitch to the city is the their investing in furthering local biz growth in a way that has potential to have a multiplicative return for local industrial base.

Tl;dr no small privately held biz is ever truely profitable, structure it as a forgivable loan upon biz failure.
"if the defendant is in possession of information regarding ... exigent circumstances which require protection of the public, the defendant may be questioned without warning and his responses, though incriminating, will be admissible in evidence"[1]

The public safety exception allows for some latitude for police to gather admissible information prior to giving a miranda warning.

Stop blaming ADD. Even if it is related to ADD, this situation could not possibly have been caused by ADD alone. You know that at the crux of it, poor planning was to blame. Poor time management followed, and you screwed yourself.

If you want to get out of this hole, you've got to get off HN now, (I use noprocrast). After that, do 1 project per night at a time. Yes. You will need to work in the dead of night, all notifications off. 1 project at a time, only. It is also incredibly important that your projects are broken down into microtasks so you can cross them off one at a time. I find often the easiest way to become late is to not understand how much work was left. Break it down. Think about 1 task at a time, ONLY. Don't think about B while you're doing A. Not even a tiny bit!

When you've made considerable progress on each project, submit the latest work, say what you've done, and then gather specific requirements and make it clear, that after you finish these next things that the project is "done" and by that I mean, you are at the end of your first iteration of development.

If you can't get those final requirements, and establish an agreed upon state that is "done" the client will drag out the project as far as you're willing to go. Hope it's not fixed price! That's just what people do. You need to put your foot down about what constitutes complete, have a mutual understanding of it, and execute those objectives.

If your client keeps asking for new stuff, put it on a separate list and tell him not until XYZ is done and we're agreed on this.

You can get out of this, but it's important to realize, you won't get out of this using the same time or project management strategies that got you into it.
Aside from the different processing on the back-end, what else does samuru do? I'm curious.

This is the main feature of the design, transparent handoff smoother than anything today, without any existing tcp connections dropping and faster throughput recovery. They demo skype handing off from 3g to wifi keeping the call alive and only suffering ~2seconds of delay during transition.

Carriers would widely deploy ISM nets or whitespace if the handoff was painless and your streaming video worst case lagged out a couple of seconds.
Not really. Maybe might be null. Null is always null, and it can be anywhere.
Sounds like you have learned enough to program and get a job. Try dropping out and finding work. You might find the motivations of a paycheck just the thing you need to complete your tasks. You might also try not self diagnosing or taking advice from the internet, but rather a trained professional. If I had the guess, I'd say you are board with the abstract academia. Go help someone make something great.
Since this is the first time I can remember hearing of law enforcement announce that Miranda was not given tells me that he's already said something and they're just getting ahead of the cycle by putting the rationale out there.
