This is basically a retweet. Why is this an HN post?
I have got an x200 too, and i am between 5 and 10 hours depending mainly on screen brightness and software run. I have no idea how much i'd get on windows, as i never used it on this hardware.

"Ellsberg: "There has not been in US history a more important leak than Snowden's –and that definitely includes Pentagon Papers 40 years ago""

Ellsberg sounds very definitive on the importance of the Snowden's information. I wonder if Greenwald has shown him information that the general public hasn't seen yet.
The accusation that Greenwald is using the leaks for self promotion are the same accusations that were/are used to smear Assange.
> it will be bit less than 143 petabytes a year, or about 36000 4GB hardisks

4TB harddisks you mean ... But why stop at Americans? It's obviously feasible to record all phone calls made anywhere in the world, forever. Hooking into large network operators won't be such a big problem either.
From hope to fear: the broken promise of Barack Obama

Why? Is it an NSA cover? :)

I'm sure that even if the Americans were giving candy to babies Glenn Greenwald would hate it.
Freedom vs. convenience is a false dichotomy.
I believe that's the entire point of this blog post. I'm rather puzzled to see the negative attention it has received.
Is this a huge pain point? No, but it is a constant niggling annoyance when using SQLite to power things like desktop apps.
If not built in to the core, I believe that SQLite supports compile-time extensions, would someone more knowledgeable comment?
I wonder if the OP would be satisfied with one of those? I personally would be fine building my own SQLite to get the functionality and it looks like the author would as well.
In short, I'm kind of confused as to why everybody seems so down on this idea. If an extension could be developed to do this, and if this extension would meet the OP's needs, I'm not sure why we're all going on about how it would ruin the sanctity and tininess of core SQLite. I'll put my $200 pledge here.
OpenDyslexic v2 includes monospace font, better language support and more
Start with C#/VB. The drag and drop GUI creation in .NET is a powerful tool for new programmers and kids alike. I learnt that with VB5 when I was 13 and was creating simple GUI based apps within a few days. A powerful IDE is absoluately necessary when learning the first language because it allows a newbie to explore things without opening any technical documentation. You can also go the HTML/JS route, again with an IDE that allows drag and drop of components. Stay away from python and java for now.

The NSA Is Building the Country’s Biggest Spy Center (Watch What You Say) (2012)
My company has a blog with c. 40,000 RSS subs, and the most valuable FeedBurner feature is the tracking/visitor display option. On the other hand, this new service wants users to pay for it... competing with free tends to be a lost battle.

The protocol uses time division multiplexing to solve the hidden node problem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_node_problem) where two nodes can be transmitting at the same time causing a collision.

They also mentioned that they didn't tilt the solar panel to follow the sun for reduced complexity, cost, weight and the risk of failure of a servo system.

They don't know what the speeds will be but 'as fast as 3G' was the marketing line.

To me it seemed like this project still had some large hurdles to viability but it was cool none the less.
I think there is more to PRISM than we know right now. You should read Glenn Greenwald's latest article if you haven't' already. [1]

In my opinion, he makes a lot of good points in it.

"If, as NSA (and Silicon Valley) defenders claim, Prism is nothing more than a harmless little drop-box mechanism for delivering to the government what these companies were already providing, why would Yahoo possibly be in court so vigorously resisting it and arguing that it violates their users' Fourth Amendment rights? Similarly, how could it possibly be said - as US government officials have - that Prism has been instrumental in stopping terrorist plots if it did not enhance the NSA's collection capabilities? The denials from the internet companies make little sense when compared to what we know about the program. At the very least, there is ample reason to demand more disclosure and transparency about exactly what this is and what data-access arrangements they have agreed to."

> To have the email of arbitrary Americans without a warrant, the NSA would need direct access to the servers that run Google Mail.

Not really. They would only need to get every incoming and outgoing e-mail forwarded/copied to one of their servers. That's not strictly "direct access to Google's servers". At least for incoming e-mails, it would also simply suffice to listen in on some backbone node while having access to Google's private keys to circumvent the TLS encryption (let's ask Larry about those instead).
Well, I'm living through it. We recently got chicken back in our work cafeteria after a couple of months without. Colleagues are still smuggling in milk powder from Hong Kong and other places abroad for their newborns, I think it's more illicit and expensive than cocaine now, but that might just be hyperbole. Rice is quite recent and the government is conducting nationwide soil tests.

Pork is always problematic since those babies are basically general waste recycling machines, it's hard to figure out what the nongmin are feeding them. Not sure of anything specific though, eventually all these scares start blurring together and I just stop caring too much.

Because agriculture is such a thankless job here, and gov regulation is weak, there is a lot of incentive for nongmin to cheat without much disincentive. And to be honest, the "industrialization farmed" or GMO food that many westerners are worried about....well, those are first world problems that we'd love to worry about instead.
No, they constitute a small, impoverished market in defiance of their numbers. CF: the present day ecosystem of food, etc provision to very poor people. It's heavily consolidated and the products are trashy because the amount of profit to be had is paper-thin.
No need to publicize it before hand? Why do movie studios run trailers and promote the hell out of what's coming?

Teasers tease and get people interested. It keeps people talking and when people are talking, there is a greater reach. This is really basic marketing at work here and it's a very wise move.
This is a crock. The majority of hardware is on a par with or batter than Windows these days, even out of the box. It's mostly just the open/reverse engineered graphics drivers that still have problems. I don't think anyone really needs to be scared of running closed graphics drivers.
If he's got facts why does he not present them rather than cocktease?

I suppose they're betting on people who don't want to trust Google with anything regarding RSS these days. I wouldn't think FeedBurner will be shut down (as it must be useful for crawling), but I could understand people being worried.
Mastering Interfaces with QT
"By now it should be obvious that the big tech companies are not our friends. They're more like the government than they are like you and me."

In Europe (at least the UK), it's usually the big companies that are viewed with more suspicion than the governments. I don't think anyone felt that BigCo was ever 'like you and me'.
Working at ~80% also makes me more productive. Taking a break and doing something else often 'releases' the solution. Moreover, taking a break and meeting real people provides new opportunities and avenues that you otherwise wouldn't know about. Great article Justin - couldn't agree more.
I'm well aware of how big the cold war was in the west. And it got me thinking. If I W's sent back in time to the 70s or 80s, I wouldn't really be able to explain how the Soviet union fell. "it just sorta dissolved, there was no invasion, no great catastrophe...". Which is weird to think that the greatest shaper of 20th century political life just vanished
It is a subset of C#. And giving that subset a name is much easier than talking about »that subset of C# that compiles cleanly to Java, D, Perl and C«.
I publish my OTR public key fingerprint on the front page of my website, which is it's self signed using my private PGP key. On that same page, I provide links to DDG searches of my fingerprints so people can see the multitude of places that it has been indexed. It gets indexed in a lot of places because I am active on several public mailing lists and the fingerprint is included in the signature of all my emails. All of my emails are signed using the same PGP key as the front page of my website.

EDIT: I just remembered, my HN profile also contains my OTR fingerprint, and is signed using my PGP key.
I think certain countries will suspect that these balloons are used as spying devices, and probably shoot them when they enter their airspace.
This was an @-response to another commenter's claim that this story will be forgotten in a year. As such we shouldn't see it as a promotional 'tease' - it wouldn't even appear to all @ggreenwald followers. It's merely a specific refutation of that dismissive commenter's judgement based on incomplete information. (It looks more self-servingly promotional only because it's been ripped from its context.)

Sometimes it takes a number of attempts to get people to notice. Having said that, reading this series' conclusions leads me to believe that it wasn't as scandalous as these leaks. Everyone knows governments spend a lot of money and employ a lot of people. The NSA's hoovering of 1.7 billion phone calls daily appears to have been the most profound and worrisome finding, but if it was sandwiched within other not-so-shocking information, that other dull information might have had a negative halo effect.
With JavaScript/HTML, Scratch, or anything that requires the internet, I'm concerned about attention span. I don't want to commit some, "it was better in the old days" fallacy, my 6 and 8 years olds are using scratch, but when they're 12, my plan is to give them an offline PC and a printed copy of Learn Python the Hard Way. It's just too easy to be distracted by the internet. When they're 16 (we homeschool, so I can do this) I'm going to let them take a half a year off from other studies and work through The Elements of Computing Systems, where they will built their own VM, language and compiler in Java.

How to Choose your best keywords
After choosing the name of our domain and the server on which appoggiargi, we are ready to go to our site.

As a first step we must try to identify some keywords that identify our business', especially in the key "queen" (the more 'important), and other important keywords below, the strategic importance of choosing a keyword and' a crucial point, so it will be 'appropriate to devote all the time we need to go straight into the goal and in this regard we have other tools that will help in the search.

There are scientific studies proving that internet users reach up to the third page to find their results and very rarely venture in search of what 'they need, that's why' the positioning of our business becomes crucial.

There's still time and friction involved in getting an instance up or adding a database to an existing instance.
I suspect that they have a better database of our browsing and email habits than Google does. That is, every email sent, website visited, search done, place visited via smartphones and so on. Of course NSA can connect it with a name and a real address.
I don't read much on the interent without taking notes on it. I have contexts of knowledge groupings that I maintain over time. NV makes is really quick (cmd-m) brings the window to focus, and I start typing to search for existing files, or I (cmd-l) and create a new file.

I was an evernote user, but i like the plain text storage, the DropBox syncing, and the abity to access my files from my phone/iPad. I use FlickNote on my Android phone to reference the documents.

Some of my favorite things I store:
1) Business words/term I'm not familiar with
2) Marketing/industry buzzwords
3) I have files on different technologies where I link to different articles, short summaries of things I've learned in articles, etc...

In short, I use it almost like a custom/manual index of my internet.

Edit: I use nvALT, btw. Just realized my comment might be out of context of this.
Qumble - Quality Open Source software for Windows
The Qumble project aims to introduce users of MS-Windows to the benefits of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). We include only the highest quality programs, which have been carefully tested for stability and which we consider appropriate for a broad audience. We provide a description and screen-shots of each program, so you can get an idea of what it does before installing. All these applications install and un-install cleanly, so you can be comfortable testing them with the knowledge that they will not adversely affect your system. The programs on the disc are all distributed under an Open Source License (OSI approved), which allows you to freely use and distribute them. You may even change the programs using the source code, which we make available, and distribute your own modified versions, provided you then in turn make the source code available, and give appropriate credit to past contributors.

I already have a 401(k) and a normal brokerage account through Vanguard, invested in a few good index ETFs. I set it up a few months ago and I remember there's some paperwork I still have to find and handle, but mostly I haven't looked at it.

When I'm actually making money I can transfer into American dollars again, I'll be dumping some fixed amount of it straight into those accounts for investment.

However, I currently make far less than $50k/year due to being a grad-student, so it's not like I can save nearly that much.

Almost all other languages have ASCII names. How do you think South Koreans, Japanese, Chinese, etc refer to them? They figured it out, just like you would, if you wanted to.
It's naive to think that just because something has been published, people will beat a path to it. It doesn't matter whether it's a movie, news, or programming language; things have to be promoted if they're going to be widely noticed.

I'm not sure what 100 after-the-fact corrections you're talking about though.
So you would only be offended but not outraged if the Chinese, Russian or the British government spying on you?

The only thing that makes it worse that the NSA is spying on Americans is it seems completely contrary to any ordinary reading of the US law (and some reasonable readings of the constitution) and the NSA's remit. If the law (and constitution) was properly amended to allow it it would be less bad than spying on foreigners.
A friend of mine recently suggested that thousands of people around the world get on the phones once every week and just say words like "bomb" and "president" and "terrorist". If the US really is vacuuming up the actual audio (perhaps based on live keyword/phrase analysis) it would either send their systems into overdrive or at least make it harder for these analysts to get the real information they'd be looking for.

Suddenly doesn't seem like such a crazy idea.
How typeface influences the way we read and think
You will get more insight reading it in another 5, 10, 50 years, true, everyone does, so imagine how much more you will comprehend in the future given your starting point today.

When I was 15, I let 'mature' people stop me from believing I knew anything, and then I was introduced to 'the more you know the more you know you don't know' - its good advice for anyone who thinks they know everything. But don't ever let it stop you from doing anything, believing anything or especially exploring anything.

If you are gifted, and if you believe you are gifted, look at the future for how much more awesome you will be, but don't forget how awesome you are now.
> I honestly think it's time to take action more than just normal protests

I think you're right. The amount of abuse in the government and corporate sector has gone out of control.

We already forgot the atrocities of the 2008 financial crisis, which wrecked numerous families and households, and caused real deaths. As far as I know, none of the senior management was held accountable. Same people who invaded the market with toxic assets are still invited for dinners at the White House.

The NSA scandal will be similarly toned down and forgotten, unless we change our attitude.
The NSA Leaks Are Forcing More Transparency on Both Companies and The Government
I think you are misunderstanding google. For one thing, search engines and their Ad system is the same class of problem as the Loon project: Large Scale stochastic computation.

On the other hand there is no telling what sorts of massive successes will come out of Google. They will have their stakes in any mass-produced self-driving car, Google Glass is at least going somewhere, and Android is already very popular and enabling Google to get Ad revenue without being fought by Apple every inch of their way.

The stock price and market capitalization is driven both by current revenue but more so by these insane projects and the probability that there will be another big success.

I'd say everywhere in the western world other than the US. People often forget that the whole purpose of government is to protect us from that organization of society that naturally arose in the West (and east Asia, too) before central governments, namely feudalism. When no central authority regulates power, power would always become concentrated in the hands of the few, who would inevitably subjugate the many through economic bonds.

While, like many, I am appalled at the NSA's supposed massive-scale surveillance, I fear surveillance by corporations like Google much more. The fact that people share their most private information with Google voluntarily actually makes it worse. If you want to know where real power lies, look for power that is not only feared, but loved (say, your mother :)). Many people have referred to the book 1984 in the past week, but they've all missed one crucial point: Big Brother is not feared; he is loved. At the end of the book, Winston voluntarily subjugates himself to Big Brother. He loves Big Brother.

As long as the NSA has some form of oversight, however dysfunctional -- as long as government is at least suspect -- we'll be fine. But the much bigger danger is Google itself, the power that people love; that they voluntarily subjugate themselves to. It seems that Americans, perhaps because their government was formed not from feudalism, but as a rebellion against a foreign central government -- are very much aware of the dangers of government, but are blind to the much bigger threat of feudalism.
