> That's just scare mongering. As a country we got by for over 200 years without government surveillance, and nothing has changed to make it necessary now.

I'd argue a lot has changed.

The U.S. has always militarily dominated everything that could hurt it. Soon after our independence, we were intervening in Latin America because in the 1800's, set off from the Old World by two huge oceans, Latin America is what could have hurt us. As the world became smaller, we built a bigger Navy, and by World War I we had the largest in the world. Ever since World War I we have maintained military supremacy in any domain that mattered (naval, air, nuclear, space, etc).

Arguably this is just a continuation of the trend onto the internet, now that the digital sphere matters.
Except for the fact that is baseless and ridiculous. Pushups and Handstand pushups use different muscle groups. Me being capable of doing handstand pushups does not translate in any way to me pushing more on a bench press.

Well, in 1980 Pyongyang was one of the most efficient cities in SE Asia while according to US officials Seoul was a heaving mess of "sweatshops to make Dante or Engels faint", and in 1948 ~100,000 Koreans sympathetic to the North were rounded up and put in prisons (~30,000) or concentration camps (~70,000).

The difference between iMessage and BBM is reliability. Anyone who has used iMessage on multiple devices will no doubt attest to the delivery issues.

I'm fairly ok with Keynote presentations taking time to sync down or issues with photostream syncing but when a message from my wife asking me to pick up the kids from school comes in three hours later then I have a massive issue with the product.

Why does apple find it so hard to get online services right?

Ironically in my experience BBM 'just works' the way Apple products used to.

By the way I would not be surprised to see Apple blocking BBM as it duplicates existing functionality on IOS
Time is on your side. Keep learning about technology, keep learning about yourself. In this learning process you are going to make mistakes. Make them on someone else's dime.

I personally have always been an entrepreneur at heart. It wasn't until a month ago (at the age of 33, married with one kid) that I decided to strike it out on my own. Ultimately, I knew I would regret not doing it. I have built up plenty of experience both technically and leadership wise. I've made a ton of mistakes in the past 11 years, but most importantly have lived with and learned from them.

You've got time, just keep learning.

>There is a very easy way to test their capabilities. Send a text message with keywords involving bombs and political figures and see what happens. I'm not going to do it, but it would be an interesting experiment.

See how far "they" have gotten? They made us afraid of texting certain keywords to other people using a medium that's supposed to be usable for private one-on-one communications. In a country that values freedom of speech over nearly everything else.

Free to say what you want as long as no government has an issue with it I guess.

Of course we don't know whether SMSes are actually monitored. Of course it's very well possible that nothing might happen if you text your buddy something involving bombs. But the fact that something might happen was so convincing to you (and me, honestly and I don't even live in the US) that you decided not to do it.

To me, that's greatly concerning as it shows that the oppression is already happening and we are already censoring ourselves even over private media.
DOJ Secretly Collected AP Journalists' Phone Records
It's not strange when you are familiar with the behavior of large bureaucracies. In doing this they are able to say they replied to the FOIA request, and satisfied the letter of that law. The request was for a document, and the document was provided.

There was sensitive information in the document that happened to be 100% of the contents, this was redacted. They now cannot be sued for not responding.
This is the same problem as getting pilots to not land on aircraft carriers with their landing gear up. I've heard they station a guy with a flare gun as a final notification, but sometimes the pilot lands anyhow.

This idea could be used on an aircraft carrier, if the water was sprayed up from below.

I think it would be interesting to try a projection of a scary face, or even a non-scary face, or a video of a crowd of people.
If you are at a restaurant and a good waiter notices that you're picking at some crackers instead of eating your meal, it's normal for them to approach you and see if everything is ok with your meal.

1. the waiter is a real person.

2. the waiter was able to identify a potential issue (the customer was not eating), unlike the e-mail script, which only triggers after a set time period of not logging in. The situation would be more analogous to me taking 30 minutes to eat my meal at a restaurant when the average sit time is 20, and the waiter coming over at exactly 30 minutes and telling me 'did you know that it's been 30 minutes and 7 seconds since you've been seated? if there's anything I can do to help you finish your meal, please don't hesitate to contact me!'

It reminded me of one of my favorite phrases, "The easiest way to get in shape doesn't exist."
Hmm, I guess that makes sense. Seems so primitive compared to modern dentistry though.
It is not a given that "the rest" need to languish. If survival was not based on winning the metaphoric lottery, the rest could engage in creative work and experimentation, leading to a renaissance in entrepreneurship and the arts. Everyone could have more luxury time; perhaps eventually 15 hours a week of paid work will be sufficient.

To instead overwork those who are employed and leave the rest to language is a conscious decision.
No, it's not. If a person isn't suspected of a crime the government shouldn't be searching or collecting any of their information. This isn't China or North Korea, we're supposed to be a free country.

It's also amusing how sure you seem about some things, while also adding in a few "hopefully"-s here and there. The truth is, you don't have any idea what they're doing because they don't tell anybody.

We're very well aware of the extent of the situation in the US. It's been a long time since Europeans lined up to emigrate to America.

Also, ironically enough, most Northern Europeans would already consider the circumstances of the underprivileged in Scotland unacceptable... The bad parts of Glasgow are considered the most horrible places in Western Europe. And the people there have housing, healthcare and access to education.
I'd guess that easy access to health care plays a big role. Regarding the raving lunatic: presumably it's not a matter of "where to put" him, but that, with access to care, fewer people end up in that situation.

In that particular case, everyone just kind of steered clear of the guy and let him go about his (crazy) business. Bystanders appeared shocked and fearful of his behavior, which in San Francisco would have been completely mundane.

> I think the point of the article is that that's fucked up, and not how the world should be.

That's the maturation process though: understanding that the world has been that way for all time. Look at nature, around you, some animals within any given group always do better than others. It's fine to be bothered by it, and want to do something to change it, but it's naive to think that a) you are the first person to notice and b) you can fix it completely.
I meant malicious snooping, like a husband reading texts from his cheating wife.

It's partial fear mongering, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be discussed.

"Nothing has changed to make it necessary now."

That's pretty naive. If you don't want rampant terrorist attacks and criminal activity, then the government needs to stay one step ahead of the small percentage of citizens who do not want to follow the laws that keep us civil. Yes, some laws were created against the best interests of American citizens, but transparency will only help get those corrected.
It's not about charity. There are plenty of businesses to be built that help improve education, income inequality and social services, or steer politics to do the same.

Unfortunately, it's been three different people. Even their regional retail manager can't get them to relent. Their default response is "Send the card". They won't accept bringing it into the store to prove we have it, they require a faxed copy to their credit department. Is this even legal?
We all have to deal with reality.

The question is how we want to shape our societies and reality. Is it acceptable to have few lucky ones with huge incomes that are far beyond the necassary amount for living a fullfilled live and have the rest die on the streets?

Or would it be more beneficial for the society at large if all have the possibility to live free from existential dangers such as homelessness, disease and hunger.

Robots, computers and automatisation are great tools. At the moment the profit that these tools generate is not shared among all people. It's time to socialise the profits that are gained through automatisation in order to be able to live in peaceful societies.

If you discard huge parts of the population as worthless you'll have to invest even more in your security. You will have slums, riots, terrorism and violence and walled gardens.

That is not the reality I want to live in.

I use a static site generator (Hakyll) and deploy directly to S3. It's a pretty awesome system.

I also used to use CloudFront as a CDN. I gave up because invalidating the cache was a bit tedious. I should start using it again for the assets that usually don't change like fonts. It's really not difficult; it was just inconvenient because I was using it for things like text that I updated constantly.

> I don't care about being as strong as I can be.

You should.

From the introduction to Rippetoe's Starting Strength:

“Physical strength is the most important thing in life. This is true whether we want it to be or not. As humanity has developed throughout history, physical strength has become less critical to our daily existence, but no less important to our lives. Our strength, more than any other thing
we possess, still determines the quality and the quantity of our time here in these bodies. Whereas previously our physical strength determined how much food we ate and how warm and dry we stayed, it now merely determines how well we function in these new surroundings we have crafted for ourselves as our culture has accumulated. But we are still animals - our physical existence is, in the final analysis, the only one that actually matters. A weak man is not as happy as that same man would be if he were strong. This reality is offensive to some people who would like the intellectual or spiritual to take precedence. It is instructive to see what happens to these very people as their
squat strength goes up.”
if you can recoup your funds 10 days after launching in one such city, why are you worried about the investors?

launch in 1 city -> recoup -> launch in another city -> recoup -> ... do that enough times and you either have traction and/or you don't really need investors.

i suspect that your prediction of the recoup-ability is what's off.
Can you, maybe, also cite a trustworthy source on how many trucks actually went through the tunnel without a problem? I imagine there're clever drivers who know precisely metrics of their vehicle and tunnel regulations. I think we rarely hear about those cases on the news, though.

Edit: if you're responding “No” to whether there's leeway between actual tunnel height and regulations, I'd like to hear a source on that as well—I couldn't find one, but common sense suggests that in such a case then there'd be enough incidents of trucks with allowed height damaged because of, say, a bump on the road.

High School Student, Jeff Bliss gives a lesson to his teacher at Duncanville, TX
Patents are not an incnetive to create something. They are a protection for people who (for whatever reason) create and want to profit from their creations.

United States patents do not give anyone a license to create anything. They grant a "license" to sue others, for alleged infringement. If the patent registrant fails to pay the government fees, the "license" can be "revoked".

If in doubt, ask your IP lawyer for confirmation of this fact.

It would perhaps be better for the discussion if all HN commenters knew how to define a US patent. It is a right to sue. Nothing more, nothing less.

Whatever else the registrant gets up to besides paying his patent maintenance fees (e.g. manufacturing, licensing, etc.), that's his business. He may choose to do nothing. Maybe he's just blocking someone else through the threat of litigation.

Do you all think the "incentives" for innovation come from having a right to sue? As if prior to the 1600's and "Letters Patent" there existed no incentive for anyone to innovate. Does a government incentivize innovation through giving the right to sue, for a recurring fee? Do people stop innovating when they cannot sue each other? Is it that simple? Is there more to the story? Maybe innovation exists without patents, but giving a right to sue is a way to "protect" the natural innovation instinct? Maybe it's just a way to tax it? What do you think?
I think there's a bit too much obsession with astronomical growth. There's got to be something to be said for a company that produces dependable profit, living within its means. Not every enterprise needs to be massive.

It's funny you mention these two books in the same comment, since I always assumed Landau was one of the targets of Sussman and Wisdom's comment, "It is surprisingly easy to get the right answer with unclear and informal symbol manipulation." (See their paper, Functional differential geometry.) Sussman/Wisdom's book is, from a brief look, not 'rigorous' either, but the 'symbol manipulations' in Landau/Lifschitz's series are sometimes borderline insane!
There's some information here. There was a policy sent out for what information to keep from cell phones, to all US Attorneys and Assistant US Attorneys, and it's 15 pages long. It would have been nice if they'd included a date.

Yep, Information Dominance is a real concept and we have to allow our government to maintain it.

There is a very delicate balancing act being preformed with peoples "rights" to privacy, but the US government is not going to stop monitoring because people want a false sense of privacy.
I'm curious, what problems had you hoped the Z10 would solve, and in what way did it fall short? I'm considering the switch.
This is an interesting opinion. Are you saying that you don't want to have more than a name and an email address for a contact and just have all communication apps use the email address as the identifier?

I had thought this too at one point until I realized that having more than one identifier implicitly allows me to segment my communications in an easy way. For instance, I can give my email address to Macy's instead of my phone number, and I know I'll only get asynchronous textual information from them. But I can give my phone number to someone at a bar, and know that I am implicitly allowing them to interrupt me with a call or text message.

So I get a communications permissions system for free when I have more than one identifier. But clearly it's not efficient to have 100 different identifiers, one for each network. So we need to settle somewhere in the middle I think.
[In my opinion...] It's the job of young people in society to help old people. Paying a little bit more on insurance premiums is a ridiculously easy way to do that--if government services disappear by the time those young people become old, hopefully there will still be compassionate young people helping in a different way.

I'm 24, and Canadian, and I'm not banking on any sort of government assistance at all when I'm old, but everything is not about me.

Nothing, it's not a service. The code is already out there along with the documentation and language spec. The worst they can do is:

1. Cancel their future contributions.

2. Create a closed source fork (is this feasible with the license if they don't control what others have contributed?)

In the worst case, if there aren't enough go enthusiasts it goes the way of other niche languages. Since the supporters seem to be active enough, I doubt that'll happen.

Do their employees snoop on US citizens? Nope.

I find it highly ironic that you are making this statement today. Today, where it came out that the IRS leaked confidential infos on one political group to their political enemies [1].

I have no idea how you can make such a statement. Is it just naivety or what are your intentions? If information "is there" it is going to be used. No matter how sophisticated the flagging system is, the data is not stored in some secret vault only accessible to the great inquisitor.

The recent IRS events clearly demonstrate that government institutions are absolutely unafraid to abuse available data for intimidation if necessary. These are no just a rogue employee stalking his ex, but actions on a targeted, ideological level. The only data that can not be abused is the data that does not exist.
