>so you couldn't even share your physical discs with friends?

Yeah, what assholes, instead they made it so you don't have to screw around with physical media and can instead share your games with 10 of your friends around the world without having to deal with a disc.

Also, they just removed that update fee.

Besides, bitching about the Xbox One's distribution model is kinda overdone at this point.

> If you want to keep information secret you never give it away, not on internet not on the real life.

How do you apply that seemingly unassailable stance to something like iPhone/iCloud, where photos you take with the only camera you have on you during once-in-a-lifetime-moments are immediately and automatically uploaded to a third party for safekeeping?

The solution to all of this data retention/spying stuff is not "start being meticulously paranoid with all of your data", not the least of which is because that won't scale to the majority of the population (and it must, if we are to retain a free society). Furthermore, communications metadata (such as email envelopes with your residential IP and timestamp, cell tower logs that reveal your location, or call logs that reveal your social graph) can't be kept secret unless you _stop communicating with people_. It's a non-starter.

The solution is to alter the legal environment such that these large troves of centralized data are much harder to exploit for evil, both by service providers and military intelligence organizations.
Yes, and hard drives physically change when they're modified, too.

I think it's more like installing Crysis, and having more of your hard drive devoted to Crysis than before.
I bet when you "delete" something facebook (and many others) just marks it as "hidden" so you will think it is gone.

The same happen to me but with yahoo, I had an old account that was long unused, because I didn't want to lose any contact that could happen I redirected it to another email, then, after a couple of years, I decided to delete the account because only spams were being redirected. A year later I notice that emails started to come from this "deleted" account again and so I tried to login and for my surprise it was active.

So don't expect to "delete" anything, and I think we shouldn't expect to have our rights respected, these companies provide a service that is not really for us.

"g) This is great news for the next search companies. Google is dependent on their ad revenue to fuel their behemoth enterprise. They are sacrificing their own product in an escalating fashion. (If you use AdBlockPlus you probably never even noticed..)"

This. I sometimes feel like I'm using a different internet than most users.
The option "Don't load tabs until selected" gives similar behavior for unpinned tabs too. This helps significantally where I use tabs and tabgroups as something a little more temporary than bookmarks.
Google is not a car company. I don't see how that would be good for either of them. A joint venture seems more likely. Money is only part of the equitation and Elon Musk actually want's to change the status quo so we don't suffocate with CO2. Assimilation politics would not further that goal.

A collaboration would be very beneficial for both parties though. Tesla and Google could focus on what they can do best and bring out a product in a joint venture that unifies they're strength sharing the profit.

But maybe I'm naive?
My bad for not being specific. We are not recruiters. Matchists finds and matches developers to quality clients/projects.

Sell the data to government agencies across the world.

Welcome to the information economy, where your startup is the commodity. Silicon valley is the spy capital of the world. I wouldn't be surprised of a lot of VC firms were actually funded by the intelligence agencies at a net loss. The more people use the internet through centralized services with shitty encryption, the more the NSA & privatized surveillance complex benefits.

Even if you don't believe this theory, you must believe that intelligence agencies would pay handsomely for a subscription to technology that can parse and categorize people's mails.
Instructions for switching to HTTPS-only with Nginx and Apache
I don't think it's a question of "lazy", because for me it's not about saving time. It's about reducing physical clutter.

There's the short-term clutter that forms when I let piles of mail kick around, waiting to be dealt with. If all of that was digital instead, it wouldn't be cluttering up my environment. And I am demonstrably better at processing my digital inbox than my physical mail, because I can do it from any random waiting room or park bench.

And there's the long-term clutter of things that need to be filed away. I would much rather not spend the space. I have already experimented with scanning workflows, and none of them really hit the minimum convenience threshold for me yet.

I wish I could find a good automatic-feeding document scanner that works standalone (no PC), does OCR onboard, automatically handles rotation/sizing/two-sidedness, and pushes the resulting PDFs to the network drive or cloud of your choice. If it exists in a consumer-size device, I haven't found it.

The numbers are somewhat misleading: they don't add up to 100% because whitespace is counted as well (although not displayed). I personally like the whitespace on the results page.

Also the ads on the right side are delineated very liberally - one could argue that the actual area is half as wide.

I noticed that my Droid 4 running 4.1.2 was opening an XMPP connection to Motorola servers a month ago. I was watching the logs trying to diagnose another problem, and the XMPP connection happened to be failing at the time. The XMPP connection is no longer failing.

That has always puzzled me - why does pay TV have ads within the programs. I can understand outside the programs to round out to half-hour slots, but handing over money to get shows with ads inside them? I just don't understand why people go for these things.
I should probably clarify. What I meant to say is that they don't really teach high-frequency analog design in school. We covered the theoretical aspects, like impedance matching and reflection, but there's a long way between knowing those things and being able to reason with them when designing a chip.
I quite agree, however Google appears to have no intention of allowing anyone else to be involved, and why would it?
I'm the OP and I'm happy to take recommendations on making this configuration better. In particular, I'm not sure what ciphers to disable to achieve FIPS compliance.
Same here. Today, I can build a test image with version X of software Y in preparation for an engagement, then archive the image; 18 months later, when customers come back with an issue, I can fire up that image and figure out fairly quickly what "fabulous customization" they've done that broke my setup.

In the cloud, this exercise would likely cost me $$$ every month, since I'd have to keep around hundreds of GB of virtual volumes. Clearly I have to rethink my workflow, or I could go back to piracy, like I used to when I was a penniless minion.

I'm rather certain that we know enough about brains to confindently say that all the higher functions of the central nervous system quite definitely reside in the brain, and specifically in the neocortex, not in the spinal cord or anywhere else.
I completely agree. If you want to keep something secret, do not use Google products.

I don't recommend taking the time, but if you were to trawl through all my posts on Hacker News, you'd find that I've said this about Google several times in the past, before the breaking of the NSA scandal.
This is where modern intelligence is going. We know that one of the most common targets of Chinese intelligence gathering now is industrial espionage -- stealing trade secrets. I hardly think China is alone in this, and if the NSA or anyone else can get a heads-up that advantages US firms against Chinese, Canadian, or EU firms, you can bet your ass that is going to be communicated to the necessary people.

From a "hacker" perspective, even metadata on the key employees of a corporation is incredibly valuable -- imagine knowing with what firms a company is communicating, giving inside lines of investment-impacting activities like acquisitions. This is enormously valuable stuff.

They are a technology company. I think Google should keep Tesla separate, and with very subtle non-intrusive brand insertion - e.g. "Just a company Google owns" They would collaborate too. Everything you say is true, and no reason that should stop Google from buying them. Especially since Google's getting into self-driving car and Google Glass-technology, etc..

It's not really a philosophical shift at all, but a realization of the types of results Google has always wanted to give. People have this idea that Google always was, and always should be, intended to direct people to web sites, when all along the company has said they want to organize the world's _information_. Web sites just happened to be the easiest thing to do first, but the fact that they bought a mapping company very early on should have been a huge signal where they were going.

From Google's point of view, the question is: If you search for "sushi" are you more likely to mean "nearby sushi restaurants" or "a website that lists nearby restaurants"? Which results get you closest to your goal the fastest? Depending on your answer showing local results is absolutely the right thing to do for the user.
None of the major foundries are OK with you embedding fonts into web pages

I suspect they'll learn better with time, just as other content creation industries have learned or are learning.

It is artificial to use a subscription model for something that is basically a one-off resource. Compare the web font services with licensing fonts for printing or licensing just about any other stock resource for web development, for example.

It seems particularly odd for a foundry that normally aims at the high end of the market like H&FJ to go down this path. Not to belittle all the hard work that no doubt went into these fonts, but at text sizes, on today's screens, on an average quality web site, many visitors aren't simply going to see much difference between a good free font and the most finely-tuned Gotham or Archer, and they're certainly not going to see much difference between a good commercial font from one of the established services that charge significantly less and anything H&FJ offer. However, the pricing model they've picked here appears to be aiming for mainstream rather than the kind of exclusive/high-end sites where their extra polish might be in its element and necessary to maintain the look of quality that the site wants to show.

No doubt they'll be successful anyway, at least for a while, as plenty of places seem happy to jump on the bandwagon at the moment. But I wonder how long this X-as-a-Service gold rush to the cloud will last for before decision-makers start openly questioning whether all these mechanics are just a way of grabbing revenue and whether the extra costs they pay are really justified. Most parts of the tech industry already seem to be going the other way.
I didn't say that anywhere. I believe it should be possible to design school experiences that can meet a wide variety of needs.

If the other commenter needs a quiet environment where he/she can listen to a lecture, that should be available without forcing those for whom it is unsuited to be there too.
I can't speak as to how this service works, but web fonts, in general are really neat.

For example: The ability to specify a font subset, so that only the 7 glyphs you actually use in your company name can be downloaded instead of the entire font, changing the data moved for just that single transaction from several megabytes to a few kilobytes. Extrapolate that to a handful of faces and a few hundred thousand visits and it adds up pretty quick.

Not to mention you can now stop using Comic Sans. :o)
My point is that I would not expect a comment expressing surprise that people admit to using IRC, even though all the reasons you cite for your surprise at people admitting to using 4chan apply as well or better to IRC.

While the public has cried out support of my shining a light on this secret system of injustice, the government of the United States of America responded with an extrajudicial man-hunt costing me my family, my freedom to travel and my right to live peacefully without fear of illegal aggression.

What is extrajudicial about what the USG has done?

They have charged him with a crime in a court (which is very "judicial") and are seeking to have him brought back to the US. "Extrajudicial" would be imprisoning him with no charge or trial.

One does not have the right to live peacefully without fear of being charged with a crime (which again, how is the act of charging someone with a crime itself illegal?).
Yes. Shared with, compromised by, whatever you want to call it.

Well, thereby hangs a tale. But the short answer is that, by and large, Google seems to be aggressively uninterested in scraping that kind of structured/semantic data from the public Web. In fact it even seems to have been active in trying to prevent that kind of data from finding its way into webpages at all: remember the arcane but nasty scrap about metadata in HTML5? Well, this is what that was all about.
Fair enough. I had assumed military trials may be treated differently as Manning's trial didn't have a jury. But it turns out he declined a jury with this reasoning:

I believe it's all of them. If you go to any of the fonts (from the Font menu drop-down), there's a new "Webfonts" tab at the top (next to "Styles") that allows you to preview the fonts on the web. It seems to be there for every font, and it seems to include every weight and style.

Well, eliminating redundant or spurious data further down the stack can make these kinds of big data operations very cheaply. It's the difference between parsing unstructured logs and a flat file. There is no resources being spent if the data is proactively being maintained and curated.
