> This is where Snowden is sinking his message because literally nothing they do in this arena is illegal in the US, and confirming it or giving out details definitely is undermining US interests by the trust placed in him by the NSA to start with.

Why would anyone except American NSA apologists care about your peculiar legal system? It doesn't really change anything about what they're doing (in your name), does it?

Are you really saying that you consider "US interests" (which are basically US corporate interests and not yours, you know this) more important than bringing to light a grave scandal of global proportions, violating privacy and surveilling/monitoring all Internet and mobile phone users and who knows what else?

Because such attitude may prove a bit problematic, with this era of global communications and all. I'm not Chinese, but if I were, I'd probably be slightly more miffed than I already am.
Really great piece of work. UI is neatly polished.

Youtube's recommendation list sucks. They only auto-play your lists not their recommendation lists. That sucks even more.

It will be great if you can add channels like house music, electronic, trans etc then you can pose threat to Spotify
:-)

I had same idea as your's but for android. My friends disagreed with me saying it won't work but I will still do it :-)

We can use youtube as a database to create great interfaces which suck less to listen to music in pain less ways.

Would you mind sharing your tech stack?

Again, great job. Execution done with brilliance

I agree with you, but keep in mind that nobody likes to think that they were duped, myself included. And we may look for support for the notion that we aren't dupes, even if we are.
I don't know about that...he is on the record with incredibly clear statements that these types of programs run counter to his beliefs and that he would eliminate them. It is now equally clear that from the moment he took office, he expanded them. Even with your "charitable reading" it means that he is willing to betray his own set of values, and probably the Constitution, whenever advisers tell him to. Not a great characteristic for a President.

I'm not sure it's really a bug with command-not-found: I think in this case it correctly gives the package containing the erl command, namely erlang-base; the problem is that Ubuntu decided that there should exist an erlang-base package that gives you erl without the standard library.

I ditched every PRISM company except for two: Apple and Google.

I haven't been able to find a suitable replacement for GMail, even though I'm willing to pay!

I also haven't been able to find anything half as good as a Macbook. Sure, a lot of laptops have better specs at lower prices, but they miss on the little things that I interact with all day: the touchpad, the keyboard, etc.

And even then, I'm supporting Microsoft unless I can find one with Linux pre-installed, like System 76 or Dell's Sputnik.

System 76 doesn't offer a 13-15" laptop with a dedicated Nvidia card, which I need for programming, and I will never support Dell again after the misfortune of owning a top-of-the-line Alienware.

I think pairing during an interview is a great idea, and I'm surprised that it's not a more common practice. Solving a code problem before the interview is one way to get a codebase on which you can pair during the interview that both the candidate and the interviewer are familiar with. (In theory you could also pair on solving a new problem).
I know how ants stop going to a food source (e.g. the pheremone trail stops getting refreshed on the return trip) but how do bees stop? I know they transmit pathfinding information with dancing... do the bees just stop dancing on return or something?

The reason I ask is the 1-5% figure you mention. I assume bees must have some mechanism to prevent sending bees to fatal sites. For ants, no one comes back, so no one keeps going. Ant traps short-circuit this by providing food with a slow-acting poison - the ants make it back with "food," causing more ants to be sent, and soon a significant portion of the stockpile is poison, drastically reducing numbers in the colony. Could that have happened here? It sounds like that's probably not the case, given that the bees appear to have died practically on contact with the linden trees.

But I don't know how bee flow control works.
Great, more eggs for me!
I think complacency and assurance of success played a role in the failures of early colonies. Did people really know it would be that hard? Certainly in the case of colonizing Mars, people will know about the lack of air, water, etc, and will rigorously prepare for them, with more advanced technology to boot. All things considered, I feel a Martian colonization effort today has a much better chance of success than the early American colonies. Not guaranteed, but better.

Rent Seeking exists in so many places.

"rent-seeking is an attempt to obtain economic rent by manipulating the social or political environment in which economic activities occur, rather than by creating new wealth"

A great side effect of popular companies like Tesla and Uber is the attention they bring to these practices.
The USA use electrnoic surveilance on China... China uses electronic surveilance on the USA... its the nature of things.

Seriously, countries spy on countries and China sure is not innocent in hacking foreign countries.
The impact of the writing -- the frequency with which I read something and it made me sit back and go, "hmm" -- is comparable to Rules for Revolutionaries, still my favorite book on business.

OK, I'm a phone geek, but I'm hoping Moxie will jump in here to set the story straight.

I see ZRTP[1], but I didn't see anything on the site about signaling encryption. As you may or may not know, the content is only one component of a secure communication. There needs to be signaling encryption as well. The signaling encryption is harder than the media encryption, because the media encryption only works if the signaling encryption was successful. Signaling across a network you don't trust is really the hard part, and it's a problem for all of these apps.

I don't know if Moxie implemented the certificate pinning stuff in RedPhone, but that's the sort of Crypto you need to have fool proof call security.

Calls are vulnerable to MITM attacks because you have to trust the network you're riding over to some extent. Redphone has intermediating crypto for the call setup that's nifty, and I'd be cautious about using any "secure" calling system that didn't provide setup protection.

Again, I'm not saying Ostel doesn't have these things, I just couldn't find them.

Nice work! The UI is simple and focussed on the music, feels fast and responsive.

One thing I can't easily tell, though, it why you built it. It was obviously a lot of effort; what feature was YouTube missing that made the effort worthwhile?
I have two problems with someone saying that the "only solution" is to "rewrite everything."

Being an engineer myself, I know how easy it is to see things as black and white and that the right answer is "just so obvious." But the more I do, the more I see that this approach is almost always wrong or, at best, half-baked.

In most situations, there is more than one option. So, to say that rewriting everything is the only solution, especially when the guy doesn't even work at Facebook, is a classic example of engineering arrogance.

The second problem I have with the original comment is that it doesn't acknowledge that, in any situation, tradeoffs exist. The way you sell things, both to executives and potential customers, is not to just come in and say "there is only one right answer, you have to do it this way" but to provide a thorough analysis of the current situation, acknowledge the different tradeoffs and provide options based on the top few scenarios.
I agree that what the NK regime is and has for a long time been doing to the people of NK is brutal, atrocious and nigh-unimaginable, at least when you try to understand the scale of it all / of the labour camps where people are born and live their lives inside the camps, and so on. I don't want to be that guy arguing semantics, but just a small remark:

> How about their still being in a state of war with, well,
> everyone else in "the West", and regularly reminding us of
> that with overt lethal attacks?

I dare speculate that this must be how (in a sense) the U.S. looks/sounds like to many people from the countries it has deemed to be its enemies (say, Iran and Iraq); the difference being, the U.S. did actually go ahead and commit lethal attacks. But this line of strictly consequentialist reasoning (however one may call it, not sure) is not without its flaws, of course. Thanks for the comment.
It's usually the case that half the country thinks the federal government's revenue-allocation is biased against them. If indeed 501(c)(4) status is allocated in a biased way, that's functionally equivalent to government subsidies being allocated in a biased way (because a targeted tax exemption is equivalent to a targeted subsidy). This is quite different from police intimidation, surveillance and similar things: it is solely an argument over whether subsidies are being allocated in a viewpoint-neutral manner.

Controversies over whether federal subsidies are being given out in a biased way are important, I think, but not a novel or apocalyptic matter. Sometimes the right alleges bias (as with funding going to e.g. NPR, and climate-science funding), other times the left alleges bias (as with the bill explicitly excluding Planned Parenthood from funding, or the tax exemption given to political organizations organized as church branches). It's worth investigating, but nobody is being shot for raising their heads.

Compare, say, COINTELPRO, which was not a dispute over whether federal tax exemptions or funds were being allocated fairly, but direct state intimidation of political organizations. That is what I think we need to be most wary of.

Now, there is some contingent of raving loons who already have it in their heads that IRS=UN=jackboots=Waco=helicopters, and certain opportunists (e.g. Glenn Beck) and politicians (some Tea Party groups) like to egg them on. I am not as sure what to do about them, but I don't think they are responding to any particular set of events based on any attempt at rational analysis of the actual events. And percentage-wise, they're closer to 10-15%. If you ask people to agree with particularly strong interpretations of the IRS scandal, which involve paranoid fantasies of violence by jackbooted government thugs, you don't get anywhere near 50% agreeing.

As for your proposed solution: I do think it's prudent to reform the tax-exemption laws to remove subjective categories. Some subjectivity is difficult to avoid, e.g. in the definition of a 501(c)(3) charity, but clearly 501(c)(4) is one of the more problematic categories. I would support just eliminating that status entirely, rather than attempting to have the IRS determine who legitimately belongs in it vs. who doesn't; an organization aimed at "the promotion of social welfare" but not necessarily a "charity" is just too subjective a catch-all.
Oh, seems like the fiber cable has been cut off... by prawns maybe lol.
I'm fiercely opposed to this newly unveiled surveillance state that US of A is... and yet I find myself not blaming Obama much for this.

I think people have misinformed notions about how much power the president really has. Obama's stated core focus was and has been on improving the situation for the poor/middle class. That's a big task on its own, I don't think you can expect one president to take on and dominate such variety of large tasks.

But now that things are in the open, support a candidate who in clear terms promises challenging these NSA programs for the next election cycle. Yes, Obama said he would do this in his own campaign trail, but it was unclear probably to him what he was up against exactly and how difficult it would have been to resist it alone. My optimistic take is now that we all know to a much greater degree what's going on, we're in better position to do something about it.

Flip the actors. What if a Chinese spy had fled to the United States and started to feed the press information on how the Chinese government had hacked essentially every computer system in the US; and in return the Chinese issued an arrest warrant, and demanded that the US send him back to the mainland so he could be tortured to death?
You only need a small set of modules, depending on your needs. Instead of a monolithic ModernWebSiteLibrary, you piece together what you need.

The scroll bar is there, but it's black.

I agree that you should do something with that. Other than the minor issues this whole project is pretty perfect. It works exactly as I could imagine that I'd want it to, and there's no fluff. Beautiful execution.
Note that this was created long before the recently posted article. So, its rules variations are totally correct, because it wasn't trying to match the article's definition of the game ;)

It originally used what it calls Rule 5a, as the article proposed, but that allows the first player to always win (see Perfect), so it now uses Rule 5b by default, but it can be toggled easily.

There are also a ton of other config options if you scroll down past the initial comments; most of the variants, like the Perfect one, just have different defaults for linking convenience.

If the U.S. were to Warrantlessly use information about Americans obtained from the U.K., would that be legal?

>No President could unseat Hoover.

This, despite Hoover's lifestyle (not that there's anything wrong with it, but there was then). Why do so many people scoff at the notion that the intelligence agencies of the US could be up to no good? I mean, it isn't disputed that Hoover was an SOB, a scoundrel who used his office's resources to extort basically anyone he could. That's conspiracy fact. And it went on for years.
Do don't give much details. Do you need this long term ? AWS free tier is free only for a year (I think) so what after that ?

They are very cost effective. Support is AWESOME.
But they don't have "free" tier. but there is a 60-day "free" trial.
As a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Wyden had been briefed on the top-secret-plus programs that we now all know about. That is, he knew that he was putting Clapper in a box; He knew that the true answer to his question was “Yes,” but he also knew that Clapper would have a hard time saying so without making headlines.[0]

That makes it sound like Wyden was attempting to force Clapper to release classified material so he wouldn't have to. Interesting that Wyden, despite knowing that Clapper's statement was false and aware of the program, chose not to dispute Clapper's statement, or release classified details of the program himself.

Well as an example, if you are trying to do some research on a technology solution, the search can help you find socially relevant information. This is information that others across the web thought was good enough to share with their friends and followers.

I.e. "AngularJS vs BackboneJS" or what folks think about Akamai CDN perhaps and customer service. An idea you have and want to see if any interest for it from the web already exist.

And yet he lies to cover it up. If he really wanted to oppose it, he could simply expose what's happening on his own. He could issue executive orders shutting it down. The DOJ, FBI and NSA are all part of the Executive Branch, after all.

I really enjoy the creativity and the insight that goes behind applications such as this where you can't immediately tell "why?"- Might not sound like it makes any sense, but at first sight I really couldn't tell you "why" I have had this running in a tab since I saw this link.

It's beautiful. It grabs exactly what I want. It works, and it works quickly, with minimal effort. I wouldn't say that it fixes any one problem that I have had, rather it makes one of my life's conveniences a little better. That is cool, and I think this industry could make large impacts thinking the same way.
I think that's kind of the point. Employer or not, no one really has the answer to effective interviews.

And even forgiveness and generosity can only be applied once the chains are broken. As long as you're still under the yoke of someone else, you cannot really punish them; when you're free from it, you don't need to. I had a dream to that effect a long time ago, I still remember it vividly and it's still my favourite dream.

People are chained with lies, anything more real than that they built themselves, based on those lies, and they can destroy it just as easily. I hope.
Giving someone a real project to do which they get paid for is a really bad idea. If the person is working for another company at the time then they likely have something their contract that specifically stops them doing work for someone else while still under employment. It's ground for a lawsuit against the employee.

It also means that as the interviewing company that you don't legally own the IP rights for the code you just put into production, which opens you up to a lawsuit as well.

And that's just for when you're hiring someone from another random company, if you're hiring someone from a competitor you've got a whole different layer of complexity in terms of NDA, non-compete, etc. violations.

And then you get into employment law and accounting complications. Who's declaring tax on the payment ? - if the candidate isn't setup for contracting work they'll need to do a bunch of work to sort out the taxes, if the company takes care of taxes than that might be taken as evidence of employment.

It's one of those ideas that might seem nice superficially but which will get you into a world of pain in the long term.
Planned mass demonstration on July 4th: http://restorethefourth.net
You are so wrong. This only show how you must improve your knowledge of Brazilian politics.

Not all parties were involved in some sort of corruption. And those who didn't are the ones having their flags burnt by protesters.

Lot's of activists from PSTU died protesting against big farmers violence against the indigenous. Activists from PSOL, PSTU, and other left wing parties have a LONG history of protesting. Just search google: Pinheirinhos, Belo Monte, União Homoafetiva, Marcha das Vadias, Marcha da Maconha. They were always there, fighting for what they believed was right.
