The point is that calling Google Maps anything but organic is wrong by any useful definition of organic.

It's fine to argue about whether Google should be showing anything but ten blue links (maps, images, calculator results...) But refusing to acknowledge the legitimacy of searching anything but web pages is just absurd.
In the same vein, aren't most newspaper articles simply PR in some form or another? The key is to be a savvy enough user to spot it.
For the 100th time, the only reason any of us are on Facebook and not Google+ or MySpace or Friendster or whatever is because all of our friends are on there with us.

Facebook can and will do whatever it wants to abuse this fact, and as long as they provide the most convenient way to communicate with other people, there is nothing we can do about it, period.

So rant away, my Internet friends, it's all we can do anyway.
How Snowden is treated sets a precedent for future U.S. dissidents of any kind. You might not care for or about him, but what happens to him sure as hell matters.
The TOS has never been enforced, as the admins have explicitly stated.
Or let everything go through until and unless we are 100% certain that it shouldn't. Like, if someone is pointing a gun at you, do not duck because there is a chance he/she will miss. Because you know, exaggeration is truly a great tactic to convince other stakeholders.
This reads like the statement of someone who realizes it might be his last.
Because some people want to know what his status is so that they can support him.
H&FJ are unusual not in their type design quality (of which they are just one of many) but in their very strong focus of branding and marketing. They are, basically, cool type design outlet and they are milking that as hard as they can.
How did you delete your account ?

Because no where in Facebook does it allow you to do this. Only deactivate your account.
I think these tools are great and the more articles and how-to videos the better. It's nice to see the momentum building around IT automation.

Because history repeats itself, and you should learn from history.

Joan of Arc stood for France, in the Hundred Year's War. The story was not about her, it was about the country, the people. But yet, her narrative, the ideas she had, her martyrdom, etc all had a profound impact on the events of history, and lead the changing of the tides of the war.

A war is not fought on a martyr's backs. Sometimes, it takes 22 more years for the job to be finished. This doesn't mean putting someone up as an example isn't warranted, nor is it dilute or make the narrative of the people any less powerful.
That's a question of perspective, isn't it? The USA may "claim" Snowden, but Snowden may not "claim" the USA. From his point of view, it may be entirely reasonable to use the term stateless.
What??? He is, very clearly by definition, exiled.

From Wikipedia: Exile means to be away from one's home (i.e. city, state or country), while either being explicitly refused permission to return and/or being threatened with imprisonment or death upon return.

Yes, those two words are probably not precise enough to describe the situation.

However if you read the context, what is being said is pretty much true: they are using citizenship as a weapon in order to deny him the human right to seek asylum.

"The Obama administration has now adopted the strategy
of using citizenship as a weapon. Although I am convicted
of nothing, it has unilaterally revoked my passport,
leaving me a stateless person. Without any judicial order,
the administration now seeks to stop me exercising a
basic right. A right that belongs to everybody.
The right to seek asylum."

Pay too much attention to individual words and you fail to understand the big picture...
Stretching the truth is wholly unnecessary to making such a point. Need I argue that the ends do not justify the means?
What pressure does a statement from the man himself apply to the US? I fail to see how this improves his situation one whit.
What he did was certainly illegal. It's highly debatable as to whether or not it was wrong.
I think the problem is the fact that pharmaeutial companies are trying to turn a profit to ensure their survival. If you invest a billion dollars in a new drug (which is the average cost these days) and its a flop, are you going to adverise it or is it in your inerest to be silent and hope another drug company makes the same mistake as you and suffers the same opportunity costs, therefore minimising your losses.

This is a quintessential problem between public and private research.
You keep assuming the initial point as a given, that is pretty much the definition of faith - belief that can't be or isn't proven.
According to Wikipedia:

Exile means to be away from one's home (i.e. city, state or country), while either being explicitly refused permission to return and/or being threatened with imprisonment or death upon return.

So he's probably not so much worried about whether or not he can return to the U.S., but rather what would happen to him when he did.

Apparently others have reported concerns as early as 2011:

Amazing that they've been doing it for so long.
It means that it is made not valid by the issuing country.

But that's not up to him, and seems... unlikely, let's say.
Exile usually involves a threat of violence if the person returns home. Many exiles are exiles because their home country's government would hurt them if they returned.

"Exile means to be away from one's home (i.e. city, state or country), while either being explicitly refused permission to return and/or being threatened with imprisonment or death upon return." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exile

Before calling into question the truth of statements made by a public figure please look up the common definition.

Update:

Websters does not use this exact definition, being a more compact format than wikipedia, but if you look under the examples in Websters you will see "Many chose to live as exiles rather than face persecution." http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/exile

I think we can all see how wonderful email is because of its interoperability and many of us wish IM had that. When Google announced XMPP federation, it felt like it could be the start of something better. It wasn't. Microsoft, AOL, and Yahoo didn't play along and even big third parties that used XMPP wanted to keep a walled-garden. But when Google kiled federation, it was a blow (at least to me). It meant that it wasn't going to happen. As long as Google was federating, there was that glimmer of hope that things might change. Maybe some startup will be open and awesome and it will kick-off change once people see how interoperability makes things great like email. Maybe even Microsoft or Yahoo would switch and it would pressure others creating a cascade. Today, even if Yahoo decided "open is the way to go for IM," they don't have Google already there. There had always been the possibility that someone big would join Google's openness. There isn't that possibility now.

I don't think it's hard to argue that things that are universal are better in a lot of circumstances. I can call anyone via phone number, I can email anyone via their email address. It's awesome. With something like Skype, I can only connect with Skype users. That's less great. Not only do I have to use Skype, I have to convince others to use it as well. People have to buy into Skype. When I switched to Gmail early on, it didn't matter if others didn't use Gmail. If something new and great comes along in the IM space, it likely won't get traction because of the network effects. I know that one can point to counter-examples. That isn't the point. The point is that users should be able to use and migrate to better services. The openness of email allowed Gmail to thrive with a low cost of switching.

I don't blame Google for going closed, but it is sad. It extinguishes some of the hope for something truly better. And it's sad when the champion of open throws in the towel on it. I'm not trying to canonize Google, but they have pushed for a decent amount of openness on the internet and when they've given up on open IM, it's hard to imagine someone else (who is big and influential) picking up the cause.
Good point, I had forgotten that.
Because his most powerful weapon is controlling the public discourse.

If he goes entirely silent then the government will step in to fill the void:
"His girlfriend's a stripper, he's a hacker terrorist, his neighbors say he's weird, he might be a soviet spy, he did it all for the attention, he's not an American."

If he speaks out on a daily basis the news media will eventually grow tired of the story and move on leaving him to be a 3rd page story when he's arrested.

His best option right now is to stay in front of the news for as long as possible until some solution is worked out. In the meantime staying positive with the American people will do more good for his eventual trial.
Just an FYI:

Nicolas Maduro, president of Venezuela is in Russia right now. He flies not the national presidential airplane but a cuban plane.

Rumor has it, he visited Russia with the intention of giving Snowden a ride back to Venezuela.

We'll see.
Of course I am discarding some texts and doing a hostile interpretation of others. The reason for this is, that not all texts are created equal. Some, like the Larry Page one, are created by lawyers and PR specialists in endless meetings. The Google blog post in particular has the purpose of limiting the damage to the Google brand. For this it needs to sound good first of all, but it also needs to contain a sliver of truth so that the company can not be forced to retract it, which would just further damage the brand.

So implying something, while actually reporting something different is a lie, but it is a highly specific type of lie. And it is quite often quite interesting to do these mental gymnastics to uncover the sliver of truth in these statements.
Yep, it seems it was added on Firefox 22: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe.... It also seems it's the proposal for ES6: http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=harmony:arrow_functio....

Justice for Snowden is a lifetime in jail, according to basically every government in the world.

That's his fundamental problem, after all. If any of the countries he intends to flee to were to have someone leak the same kind of documents that Snowden leaked about the US, that person would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the laws of that country.

So when you talk about justice, I don't think you want Snowden to receive justice, because that's a small cell for the rest of his life, or worse.
This is a serious question: How could we trust that his private key had not been compromised at this point?
I did a bit of extra work to make my puppet manifests work outside of vagrant too, so I can use a simple script to install to any Ubuntu base box (e.g. bare metal, EC2, docker, etc) - https://github.com/mozilla/socorro/blob/master/puppet/ubuntu...
It is pretty much the backbone of his argument in the letter, so I don't think it is overly pedantic.

The Russians have said he's applying to 15 countries for asylum.

He's trying to gain public support and put pressure on the US government, while at the same time persuading countries to give him asylum. Releasing a statement will help him to do this.
I'm loving the focus that's been going into the FF dev tools over the last few releases, they are improving rapidly and dramatically!

One thing that irks me is inspecting returned JS values - I almost never want to see [object Array]. I vastly prefer the Chrome dev tools output: inline, expandable, and a meaningful representation for objects.

Not a bug, but I think it would be a big improvement :)
I don't think that will happen.
Well said; better than I could say it. In any modern just society being a "citizen" is an agreement between two parties. Governments no longer own their subjects.

My parents were rather "amused" that I could almost be failing a class that taught you how to Open a document, bold text, and save, while at the same time as having self-made business cards and brochures and revenue from teaching Office '97 to professional folk and another service of building corporate web-portals.

My HS was really progressive, as the other 5 in town barely offered a typing class, and it's only gotten better for my school -- a Charter school.
What is the proof that this Statement came from Snowden directly?
Honestly if I worked for the NSA, and lets assume that the NSA was behind Stuxnet etc, and I was involved; I would be very proud of my work, how many people can genuinely say that they created a computer program that directly slowed the nuclear program of another nation state?

Also to be fair, you never hear about the good, only the bad. How many domestic terror cells has the NSA stopped by spying on its people? Who knows... because these facts don't get disclosed. I think having time to think about the revelations recently that the phrase "you have to be cruel to be kind". What if the NSA did not spy on people in its own country, and then America was nuked from the inside... they would be held accountable along with many other alphabet soup organisations for not doing their jobs properly.
H&FJ make some of the best typefaces out there.

So do Adobe, and Ascender, and other professional foundries, and several of their font families are available completely free.

Despite all the praise for H&FJ's quality from some posters here, I've got Photoshop and a 400% zoom that says their screen fonts still have to fit on the same limited number of pixels as everyone else's, and inevitably, the pixels that get turned on are similar to other well-hinted fonts at small sizes.

I've tried a few experiments, and I'm not seeing anything to suggest that H&FJ have some magic new technology that means their fonts are going to render better than everyone else's. Indeed, the quality of rendering in Firefox on Windows 7 appears to be somewhat variable: even some of the fonts on the linked page, such as the Whitney small caps used in headings, are far from crisp. The Archer small caps if you click through the "Learn More" link also seem to have obvious rendering/hinting problems at the top of many of the glyphs (and don't look anything like the "Firefox Windows" screenshot they show on their "Render Quality" page).
It's just frustrating that yet another post on HN is about Snowden, and not the actual information he's released. Yet another news cycle is going to be wasted now on playing the, "Where in the World is Edward Snowden?" game, when in reality, the man doesn't matter.
Your argument stems from an inability to check what "exile" is...

"Exile means to be away from one's home (i.e. city, state
or country), while either being explicitly refused
permission to return and/or being threatened with
imprisonment or death upon return." [0]

Hopefully that clears things up...

How is releasing a single press release being "desperate for attention"?

A common theme among people who oppose Edward Snowden's is to criticize his character. Even within this thread people have resorted to name calling, dubbing him a "Drama Queen" and accuse him of seeking fame.

I suppose it's easier to attack a person than it is to attack the issues he stands for.
I'd really like to see Wikileaks devoting more of its time, energy, and fund-raising into breaking news about government-operated surveillance programs in the last two countries where Edward Snowden has been located, namely China and Russia. As an American citizen and voter, I'm still mulling over what I think should be the correct policy response to the revelations about NSA claims about NSA data-gathering programs, but I have deep ties to China as a speaker and reader of Chinese and a long-time student of the language, culture, and history of China, and I have similar connections, less thoroughly developed, to Russia. People everywhere just wanna be free. We ought to be hearing a lot more about all the various governmental data-gathering and surveillance programs, everywhere in the world, and of course we should also be learning more about the actions of private business corporations to gather data on all of us. That Wikileaks tells us much more about the United States federal government than about any of those other entities tells me something about Wikileaks, and perhaps tells me something favorable about the United States.

If you really want to be an idealistic but hard-headed freedom-fighter, mobilizing an effective popular movement for more freedom wherever you live, I suggest you read deeply in the publications of the Albert Einstein Institution,

http://www.aeinstein.org/organizationsde07.html

remembering that the transition from dictatorship to democracy described in those publications is an actual historical process with recent examples around the world that we can all learn from.

AFTER EDIT: Good catch by the readers who noticed the non-American English in the Wikileaks press release here (mentioned in other comments in this thread). The press release kindly submitted here is plainly not Edward Snowden's verbatim words, but more self-publicizing from Wikileaks.
This seems related to Motorola's MOTOBLUR system: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motoblur

In all fairness, it seems that the implementation uses a middle server (pretty common in big companies where good engineering isn't a requirement) where log in data is sent, is stored in the users' profile and where timelines and other content is parsed before being sent back to the user's device, in a "dumb" format that the BLUR system can understand.

Nokia has a bit of the same for their low-end phones (understandably) and BlackBerry used to do much of the same. Yet, in those days, and in an Android phone that can easily connect to social networks on its own, this seems like a very unfortunate techncial decision.

In other words: the official Gmail app, Twitter or Facebook apps are unlikely to be "compromised".
If anything, some Western European country (Germany the clearest candidate) might offer Snowden asylum. Unlikely though.
If you're just getting started with Vagrant and find yourself stuck, try a different provisioner. I had a lot of trouble wrapping my head around Puppet, but was up and running with Ansible very quickly. Puppet, Chef and Ansible can all be used to build out your Vagrant VM's environment.
Snowden is not using the common definition of the phrase. He is explicitly using a legal definition when he says "the extralegal penalty of exile."

To argue that any person who cannot return to their home country without being arrested is "extralegally exiled" would mean that any fugitive is "extralegally exiled," an absurd result.

I guess the same applies for closed tabs, since those can be re-opened as well.

Your reasoning presumes that countries of the world apply the same standard of 'justice' to foreign spies that they do to their own. Clearly this has proven to not be the true for China/HK and Russia.

Research into alternative medicine is generally less problematic in terms of transparency because most of it is government funded. So you don't have pharma companies hiding data they don't like, bribing journals to publish data they like, etc. Occasionally you'll get supplement makers funding small trials, e.g. with zinc, but most of these you'd already be ignoring for other reasons anyway.
