Jobbik has some good principles. I like the idea of a little pride in Hungary. But the Roma are part of Hungary that you need to have some pride in. You're not Magyars freely riding across the plains any more, if indeed you ever were.

The Roma are not your problem, man, no matter how many knife attacks there are - and I know there are. But there aren't as many as you think, and there are plenty of violent attacks in the other direction, like people burning Roma houses down with the Roma still in them.

As to your point of Jobbik rallies in Roma cities - yeah, that's true as far as official rallies go. I do quite clearly remember a strongly Jobbik demonstration over near the Tisza last year that was not exactly sunshine and butterflies, though. Hatred does not pay.

And if you think the taxes going to support Roma kids are sapping your economic strength - there are a few ethnic Magyarok who stole 100 trillion forint from you thirty years ago and still have it. You could stack every Roma baby in the world end to end and they wouldn't be as tall as that. Those guys are your enemy, and they are Magyar, not Roma.

Jobbik is misguided, but I don't think they're fundamentally misguided. Their nationalistic principles show promise, like I say. Somebody has to start keeping the money in-country, and they'd be likely to work on that if they can get their heads out of their asses long enough.

Add to that the fact that Jobbik will have to be part of a coalition if they do gain more representation in Parliament (there's no danger whatsoever of a Jobbik supermajority!), and that would temper them a little and let them learn about government, and I think there's hope for the future.

Hungary has only been newly independent for twenty years. They've got time to make a few mistakes before everybody has any right to throw up their hands and say they can't be trusted.

All that said, yeah - your topmost point about the rhetoric used to paint the Jobbik as a threat is 100% dead on. They're all just Nazis reborn! Look at the laws Hungary is passing! Oh, wait, that's another party? Oh, well, all Hungarians are the same anyway.
Heh, I walked into that one, but I think my point still stands: the problem you linked to is one of policy. And the solution is to find a better one.
Interesting.

My biggest successes in getting hired have been when I spent time on a cover letter.

Conversely, when I am pulled into hiring decisions, I first look for a cover letter, and i generally get more out of that than resumes. Resumes seem to be near spam, or written by the Markov Resume Writing Service.

No, and that is exactly my point. You can't invoke the Constitution on your pet issues, but ignore it on other issues, which is what liberals and conservatives have been doing for a long time [1]. I mean, you can, but it's not intellectually convincing. And that's the very definition of a non-principled approach.

]1] At least, that's how I see it; I don't want to try to defend that claim in detail right now. Anyway, I'm not sure it's right to go only back to the Constitution and not further back, to more basic points about liberty. Liberals and conservatives do not support individual freedom, so they have no fundamental ideas to point to; it's just "I want this on this issue, but that on that issue."

Most of the issues mentioned so far are trivial or just warts. The real issue is understanding the design patterns that work well enough to build high performance applications. Also in order to really exploit the power and productivity of Haskell there is quite a learning curve.

We built an algorithmic trading system, and almost everything else in Haskell. Our code base is over 100K of human written code.

The major library gaps were a time library (you can find a version of what we have been thinking about releasing at https://github.com/time-cube/time-cube). We use our own build system that drives cabal and ghc. Otherwise having many libraries is just painful.

We found that composing applications as conduits to be a very effective design pattern that minimizes many laziness issues. Monad transformers are very powerful but the machinery for them (like forking) is not fully cooked.

Maintaining the codebase is far easier with haskell than with anything else I have worked with (C/C++,C#,Java,etc...). Refactoring in Haskell is great.

You can't fight the language. Fighting with Haskell will cause great pain. When you go with the flow, using lots of strong types, higher order functions and can apply things like a monoid instance to a problem the language is a joy to work with.

Debugging is more painful than it has to be. There are still times when you need some real GDB wizardry.

Your supposition is that I said we need laws for this. I claimed dealers add value. You're arguing the wrong point with me.

That aside, your notion of competition implies all dealers have like models, which is incorrect. Sure, they all have sedans, but I've yet to find a Honda I feel comfortable driving in. There's plenty of other factors, too. Locations, maintenance schedules, manufacturing origin. It's not all that dissimilar from there being different laptop manufacturers.

So, if I really want a Ford (which was the example here), it's nice to have competition between Ford dealers. Otherwise, Ford could just become complacent. Likewise, I'd hate to see fiefdoms form where you really only can realistically buy one or two manufacturers because the third one determines moving in wouldn't be profitable enough.
But sometimes it is.

On facial recognition: my understanding is that in addition to using data points that are relatively easy to change with makeup or surgery (cheekbone height, nose, etc), they use some that are not such as eyeball distance. However, could the eyeball based datapoints be tricked with specially crafted lenses in glasses frames?
I don't really understand the whole objection to Soylent.

1. I don't care much about food. The smell, experience and taste. Why in god's name would I spend a bunch of time each day just to have the "joy" of eating food? I could be doing other things, like having sex (Seriously. "Too hungry for sex, let's make [time appropriate meal name]" happens a few times a month!)

2. The name is humourous, and was a good way to get attention. Could do with a re-brand, but I figure we nerdy types who would be interested in this would enjoy the somewhat sick humour of the name.

To me personally, eating, and the things involved in it (grocery shopping, preparation, making and packing lunch or going out, deciding what to make, poopin', flossing, etc) are the very antithesis of the idea of living this short life I have.

I just have better things to do than chew and taste stuff. If I feel like experiencing some nice food, then I can go out of my way to get it. In fact, I'd probably be more inclined to make a couple good meals per week, and would enjoy going out or ordering in more, if I wasn't having to deal with food every day.

There's always someone in these Soylent threads who says, "Just learn to cook, it doesn't have to be time consuming or expensive, and you'll enjoy it!" but I just. don't. care. about food.
The members of this committee, House Intelligence, generally knew what the NSA was doing in this area. (There are more secretive intelligence programs that are briefed only to the so-called Gang of Eight, a select group of House and Senate leaders that do not include all members of the Intelligence committees.)

Think of it this way: If you've been briefed on some supersecret surveillance since at least 2008, when the FAA was enacted, and you never raised a privacy alarm, what do you do when everyone else finds out? Do you say "I was wrong?" Or do you say "Nothing to see here, move along."

"As technology advances, both of these problems will reduce more and more."

For the first problem (that algorithms' results will be wrong), you're assuming that the technology to avoid false positives will progress faster than the technology to collect more data. On what do you base that assumption?

The second problem (that the results will be misinterpreted or misused) isn't a technological problem at all, so how will the advancement of technology reduce that problem?
The code IS publicly available, at least the code for how they access it. For instance, there's a version of Hadoop that restricts what you can see based on your role, so that some Analysts with less clearance may see less.

One problem is that a contract employee of the government had superuser access, probably higher access than some ranking intelligence officials, including access to target people.

So, you can say, OK, open-source the access controls, the access controls are sound, they're audited, they make sense, they fit the narrative.

Mr. Snowden says they are configured in a manner that is euphemistically referred to as the 'widest possible aperture' or something like that.

Basically, everyone has as much access as possible so that noone is unable to perform their job tasks due to misconfiguration.

This is pretty similar to the fact that most tech startups require all developers to have root on production. It's a poor practice for a company that has social games or web discussions or whatever, but it's a horrid task for an organization with a massive store of secret history about lots of individuals.

> That's like promoting adoption as a method of avoiding the "hassle" of having sex.

Allow me to over share a little bit for a moment. My wife and I had trouble conceiving. So the "process" very much became a task. It was scheduled. It was monitored (not the "act" itself, pervs... LOL). It involved various shots on schedule with other things. I won't go so far to call it a "hassle" but I will tell you that even something as enjoyable as sex can be reduced to a chore if you make it one.

Indeed the government will do as they please, it;s not like anyone is truly going to force them to stop that requires strength not complainants an lawsuits. My personal opinion is that we truly have no power in a large government, unless we were to revolt with riots, militias, and a organized task force and basic wage an un-winnable war with our own government. Anyways no one wants that except for maybe so guns nuts and anarchist. Although it would be pretty interesting in the history books. Which will be over written... haha America blows!

Libertarianism is not synonymous with "follows the Constitution", and neither liberalism nor conservatism necessarily implies going against the Constitution.

Obviously, you seem to see things differently, but you are wrong, and having such a narrow view of other people will destroy your ability to understand them or have a productive conversation with them.
Massive surveillance, whether for marketing or "national security", definitely eases identity theft.

Looks great, absolutely. My concern is why websites like this tend to "hide" or de-value the login link.

I regularly have to access the Dropbox website, but with every change they make the login button seems to get smaller and smaller. I get that they're a business and need new customers, but it feels like existing customers "just aren't that important."
Right, that's precisely my greatest concern. It's one thing to have a limited secret court overseeing executive authority. It's another to imply that it's an independent federal court (note: he said it was a federal court with independent judges, not an independent court).

I do not think there is a nice alternative. I think we should accept that we share some responsibility for the actions of our home countries. If a political group could organize enough people to withhold their tax payments as part of a protest against a certain military action, that might cause enough of a disruption to stop it. Alternatively, it might just get everyone involved thrown in prison.

But a principled approach that relies completely on the Constitution is not very intellectually satisfying either. Libertarians or anyone else that relies completely on constitutionality has to accept the vast majority of the actions of government, since the Constitution grants the government the authority to determine the constitutionality of its own laws and actions. If the Supreme Court says that the Second Amendment doesn't apply to assault weapons, then that is constitutional, at least until the legislature changes the laws, at which point the Supreme Court can again interpret it to mean something else, ad infinitum (or until tricks like judicial stripping get used). They have to accept everything that is or ever was constitutional, like slavery, prohibition, searches and seizures when there is a warrant issued for any reason, direct election of senators, etc. Many "strict constitutionalists" avoid this by appealing to the intent of the forefathers, but then your entire "principled approach" is based on highly subjective interpretations, usually of extra-constitutional writings by various forefathers.

"Opt out" of PRISM, the NSA’s global data surveillance program.
The interesting part, from where I'm sitting, is that I don't think the younger generation will see any "error" in Snowden jetting to Hong Kong, nor in revealing information about NSA surveillance on foreign targets.

I think they see "people who are online" as a sort of kindred/nation in a way the older generations reserved for countrymen or foreign adherents to their own religious faith.

And I don't mean to say they lack national identity or anything; nor that it's an extreme identification. I just mean that it seems, to me, their outrage is more about being spied on on Facebook, rather than being spied on in America.

So if China had to find out about the spying for Americans to find out, I don't think they're going to rank "China is not our great friend" as more important than "online spying is wrong" and be all that divided on the issue of whether Snowden did anything wrong.

your logic is fine, except for the assumption that ethical obligations come only from maximizing profit.

why do you have such a low ethical standard for companies? i realise it's fairly common in the usa, but what's the motivation? is it just that you get your opinions from the same companies, and so eat what you are fed? is this what you want from your world?

do you simply feel you have no choice, and are stating a "hard reality"? something as complex as a society's expectations of ethics is so complex that it can (and will) respond to public opinion. by posting something like the above you're not just stating what you think is fact, but advocating it. there's no separation between those two roles when your trapped inside a system with feedback...
I see it differently. Without the tax money, the military could not operate. When I choose to pay our taxes, I am choosing to give money in support of the military's operations. I may disagree with the military's actions, but I choose supporting them (a little bit) over putting my life at risk by not paying. In that case it is a lose-lose situation.
