It's worst in breadth and likely quite bad in terms of depth given their resources (and the ability, IIRC, to listen through landlines and cell phones). Surveillance depth will likely get much worse in the future, however, as they strongarm more companies into baking surveillance capabilities into mass-market devices (although they'll be competing, in this regard, with foreign manufacturers who will be/are also doing the same thing).

They can probably liquidate the drugs due to contacts they've made in that world faster, so even if the car was worth more it could be harder to liquidate. Stealing a car is worthless if you can't sell it or get a premium for it.

It makes sense for dealerships to have codes for cars in their lot. But it sounds like dealerships have access to codes for all Ford cars, which is a pretty clear least-privilege violation.
This is what I would have assumed, too.
Well, actually, if you already have recompiled ARM exes, you can quite easily 'jailbreak' the RT to have them run. I have Notepad++, 7-zip, putty and a few others.

I know you were trying to say that this should be enabled by default, but I thought you might want to know that it's at the very least possible.
Have you managed or owned a restaurant? The margins are extremely slim, which is one of the reasons the wait staff wages are tip based; it allows the owner to minimize his labor expense as much as possible.

There exists such a thing known as a disproportionate response. I assumed
that was the implication here. (Not that Aaron did nothing wrong, but that
the response to his wrong-doing was wildly disproportionate.)

My response is saying that nobody is claiming Aaron doesn't deserve any blame. Only that there was a disproportionate response. Just because X acted wrongly doesn't mean Y had to have acted rightly.
My university allows iPads on the network. Any sort of windows ecosystem and you need to install 3rd party software which probably isn't supported by RT.

A single peer-reviewed article means nothing on its own, but a result replicated in many peer-reviewed articles by independent authors over many years starts to mean something. That's generally what people mean when they say that the "peer-reviewed scientific literature" supports a claim or theory.

However, the very common exception is when someone with an agenda abuses the term "peer-reviewed scientific literature" to describe a single article or a string of articles from a single or a few closely-affiliated sources in order to support their agenda. Of course, this is taking advantage of the true meaning of the term. See also "clinically proven".

I've always found this very much to be a US a problem. Most shops from Oslo to Hong Kong will gladly ship to anywhere on the planet, at most you have to inquire about the shipping costs.

I have no idea why Americans are so phobic about shipping abroad. It can't be a service issue, on that front one would expect exactly the opposite.
Maybe it's a generational thing. It describes my dad and all his doctor friends to a T.
I have no problems with not calling MIT "murderers". It's just that your post sounds like yet another blame the victim argument and it distracts people from the main problem of MIT screwing up and not being responsible about it. They are doing everything they can to try to deflect blame and hide wrongdoing. Their findings report was just a CYA document released on a day that's guaranteed to make it forgotten. It also doesn't help that they're blocking FOIA requests.

MIT could have stopped of all this by doing what JSTOR did.

Socialist only by American standards (and, possibly, by the standards of certain Tories who still think of the US as a former British colony). By European standards, the Guardian is a fairly typical center-left newspaper. If you want to look at an actual socialist newspaper in the UK, try the Morning Star [1].

Well you are forgetting the stories about how a person worked for a decade or two (or more), spending less than they earned and making basic investment choices which are pretty boring.

I have been doing this the past few years and while initially my "passive income" was around $50 each month it grows each month and at some point in the future (years away) it will be larger than my current expenses. I would be okay with writing it up, but I am guessing that the story of maxing out my 401k, installed insulation to reduce my heating costs and taking the time to read a company's 10-K and learn that I do or (usually) do not want to invest in is no where near as exciting as the 22 year old that made 30K a month for the last three months on an iOS game and spent it all on a new car before he remembered to pay off his credit card and student loans.

You're right that there's no free lunch out there, but compounding is pretty close.

Maybe. I actually feel like Google may be losing steam in some areas. They pushed themselves too wide and it feels like things are suffering. I know they want everyone to use G+ with their Google Drives and their Gmail accounts but I personally have never caught on to G+, and only used my Google Drive as last minute fix. Once I used my Drive I think I may like it more then Dropbox, but it's really not a large deal to me, especially when so many of my files are already on Dropbox. Gmail remains something which I use to send a quick email from, I don't know of anyone who really uses any of the other features (not that I could tell what they were anyway).

It's hard to say, I am excited for the self-driving car, though I really hope they would use it as a full-system and transfer it into the various car manufacturers, similar to an add-on.

It's also important to point out Google always has search too fall back on and as long as they don't change their webpage too drastically, they are a portal to the internet.

"“In 1973, the Internet [which at that time was basically the ARPANET] on a good day ran at 50 kb/s,” Metcalfe reflected in his oral history. “Ethernet ran at 2.94 megabits per second.” Over the years, people urged Metcalfe to round the number up to 3. He always resisted, as a matter of emphasis: If one rounds 2.94 Mb to 3 Mb, the rounding error is more than 50 kb/s. “Ethernet’s round-off error was bigger than Internet,” said Metcafe. “That’s how fast Ethernet was running.”"

Again with the sweeping characterizations. Why do you assume that every single person in the armed forces is corrupt?

As someone with a brother and several close friends in the military, this attitude is disheartening. You are free to believe that the leadership or even large swaths of the military is corrupt, but you cannot honestly state that no one is putting themselves in front of bullets for your rights. I have personally met several who repeatedly face bullets and IEDs because of their belief that they are protecting the rights and safety of civilians back home. You may believe their actions are naive or misguided, but that doesn't mean that they are all mindless drones motivated by purely selfish reasons.

Why not buy one of the Win8 tablets using Intel's Clover Trail?

I have one, a ThinkPad Tablet 2, and it's been pretty awesome for me. (It's the computer I'm using to type this reply. I find the Win8 touchscreen keyboard works much better for me than the iPad's ever did.)
Gross margin, sure. When you isolate food or beverage cost, it looks all rosy. Then you take out your overhead (rent, insurance, depreciation, utilities, payroll, cut to investors) and that margin slims down faster than a meth head.
I run 2 x 30" (2560x1440) and 1 21"(1920x1200) IPS monitors (all DVI). I have 3 Samsung 540 256GB SSD, 2 WD RED 7200RPM 3TB drives (with lifetime warranty!) in the slots.

1. You should probably jump up to 750W PSU (Which is what I did in the end) just for a little more wiggle room. I also moved to small footprint RAM to fit under my cooler -- 4 x 8GB sticks.

2. Use Clover not Chameleon as your bootloader. It's EFI emulation is much better and will give a better OOTB experience (less fiddling with Kexts)

3. You might want to use a different mobo, the Realtec989 can behave strangely under OSX (popping / random interrupts) but this only happened on one install for me and a fresh install cleared it up.

4. Win7 will not install if the drive isn't device 1 or if there are HFS drives around (I have no idea why, seeing as it installs fine on my MBP -- there must be some EFI magic).

5. Fuck any SSD not made by Intel or Samsung -- make sure to use one of the Trim Enablers on the OSX side of things.

6. Don't OC the graphics card unless you're prepared to do some debugging under all OSes you plan on running.

7. OC in increments for the CPU -- test under all OSes before ratcheting up

8. Don't use Win8 with HFS drives, it does stupid shit to their metadata and headers.

9. I didn't bother setting up WiFi since my apartment is wired, but it shouldn't be too hard. Use the included wireless card and there are drivers out there that are confirmed to work.
Manning is a whistleblower, not a spy. He has been convicted of spying for revealing crimes committed and perpetuated and covered up by the US government.

The cries of "espionage!" are just as disingenuous as the cries of "enemy combatant!" or "terrorism!".

100+ pounds is a lot of drugs! And it's a gift that keeps on giving. Once you have the car codes, you can use the same vehicle many times.
Yes, you can falsify a hypothesis about a model built from operational definitions, but you can't actually know that this model corresponds to reality at a physical level. Science is about knowing reality at a physical level. I can come up with an operational definition for a human soul (psychology means "study of the soul") but I can't actually come up with a scientific experiment that demonstrates that I have one.

I don't actually have a problem with unfalsifiability, I think these models are quite valuable, I have a problem with it being presented as scientific truth.
A couple years ago, my used '98 CRV's battery died. I got it replaced, and when I started it back up, the radio was locked out; I needed an unlock code that they'd have given me when I bought the car, if the car hadn't passed through at least a dozen hands before finally reaching me.

I called up my nearest Honda dealership, gave them the VIN, and they gave me the radio code.

I like that they can do that. Maybe it makes more sense from a security standpoint if I would've had to call some centralized Honda location, but that doesn't really solve the problem, does it? I have the VIN -- so does anyone who looks through my windshield. I have the title number -- so does the dealership who originally sold the car. We'd have to enter a few concurrent bits of information to verify that I own it, that this car I'm calling about is mine, and I can identify both it and myself, and then the centralized Honda location would have to be able to verify all that on their end.

Or we can assume some modicum of trust at dealerships, and accept the fringe cases where criminals use information they wouldn't have access to in a perfect world.
I thought this was an interesting tidbit from the Center for Constitutional Rights.

"While the "aiding the enemy" charges (on which Manning was rightly acquitted) received the most attention from the mainstream media, the Espionage Act itself is a discredited relic of the WWI era, created as a tool to suppress political dissent and antiwar activism, and it is outrageous that the government chose to invoke it in the first place against Manning. Government employees who blow the whistle on war crimes, other abuses and government incompetence should be protected under the First Amendment.

We now live in a country where someone who exposes war crimes can be sentenced to life even if not found guilty of aiding the enemy, while those responsible for the war crimes remain free. If the government equates being a whistleblower with espionage or aiding the enemy, what is the future of journalism in this country? What is the future of the First Amendment?

Manning’s treatment, prosecution, and sentencing have one purpose: to silence potential whistleblowers and the media as well. One of the main targets has been our clients, WikiLeaks and Julian Assange, for publishing the leaks. Given the U.S. government’s treatment of Manning, Assange should be granted asylum in his home country of Australia and given the protections all journalists and publishers deserve.

We stand in solidarity with Bradley Manning and call for the government to take heed and end its assault on the First Amendment."

This really seems like sophistry to me.

Everyone agrees that if Swartz had asked the library staff to help him download the entire JStore archive, they would have clearly said no. The difference between "some jstor articles" and "the entire archive" is huge and significant. His authorization was never a blanket authorization to do whatever he wanted with the JStor access, in part because MIT could not offer that: they could only offer access under terms that JStor set, and those terms banned whole archive scraping.
agreed - but they should at least check id to match dmv records - seems a common sense check.

[to the nitpicking gallery: yes - bad guy can use fake id to do this, but any key code pull should be accompanied by a letter to the registered dmv address notifying the pull - all simple checks that would make it harder, costlier and with more points where it could be caught]
The first thing I thought was, "The guy is making this up. What would Bayesian stats tell us?" In this case, I was wrong.
Parent to your comment is saying that dealer 1 can provide access to a car in dealer 2's lot. They can each provide service without having access to the other's cars. Therefore, this is a principle of least privilege violation.
Is there a tipping culture in the UK? I always thought that the mandatory service charge in some restaurants (especially when one has a big party) made up for it. Now I feel slightly guilty.
> All the layout would be handled for you.

No it won't. The tags are variable width, you have to implement something like sizeForItemAtIndexPath. You also must monitor the height of scrollable content region, so you have to monkey patch the collectionViewContent size (or KVO a non-public property), so you can resize the collection view and have the outer controller layout the subviews.

Collection Views don't really make sense when the collection view shouldn't scroll.
> That said, the restaurants where being a cook requires more skill do not usually pay a better wage, which is unfortunate.

Yes, I realize I should have been more specific. I was in fact referring to restaurants that employ skilled & experienced cooks.

Anecdotally, I have acquaintances with solid (non AI) culinary degrees employed at boutique restaurants who make just north of minimum wage. The author of article seemed to imply that his restaurants also employed more skilled cooks, which prompted me to ask this question.
Thank you!

My most poignant memory from the time was being a part of a circle of festival goers holding a large circular nylon parachute that caught and launched a seemingly infinite series of glow sticks into the air in a fountain like manner at Rothbury on July 4th 2009 during a Grateful Dead set.

The money from that period is long gone, and so is the girl but the memories and skills remain.

Ill share one more story about the ethics of the industry because it's worth it:

An acquaintance in the biz once bribed a Facebook employee whose job it was to approve or deny ads on the platform. His inside man set his account to auto approve any ad he wanted.

He used that to get the scummiest, most downright fraudulent ads he could up.

He told me that he made $80,000 in 4 days by placing ads like 'Google is hiring, apply here' that led to credit card rebill free trials for how to make money from home info products.

The bribed employee was led out of the building after four days of this.

I had always wanted to write a book about this industry titled "Internet Bandits", it was quite fascinating. There was a time when a kid with a credit card, poor ethics and some basic web design skills could make $50,000 a month.
Until recently Sweden also had mandatory national service. They also don't recognise dual-nationality. As with most Western European countries, they struggle with immigration.

Although this all sounds a little bit communist and making everyone the same, they have a massive music industry export, so they're not losing creativity.
Which is only partly true.

Better way of putting this; why don't startups write their web apps in x86 assembly?

Because not having problems in the first place is the sign of a 'good' programmer.
Of course... similarly, compared to Windows or Linux, Android is not mature at all. The main method of interface is also much more sensitive to things taking a long time.

As for the API "not being a big deal." I think you grossly overstate how well the APIs have been managed. It is nowhere near as hellacious as the J2ME fiasco, but it is not pleasant, either.
> For example: he says to remove the User-Agent header. Without that https://www.dropbox.com/downloading wouldnt work (where they can give you the correct download and show you pictures of how to access/install it).

There is no good reason to do UA sniffing. That page could simply provide you one of 3 (or more) options to select.

> Furthermore, the Date header is very successfully used for caching operations in many cases.

Date headers are not useful for that purpose. Expiration would be based on the time of the UA, not the one given by a server.

> Moreover, it suggests problems that I see (such as the cookie kludge) but not a good replacement/solution for it.

The use of a session identifier, or to use client-side storage until it is needed. The session identifier is not the best solution, but it is a step towards a better system, I believe. Eventually I would like to see it removed.

> However, they cannot trust the clients and so have to resort to nasty things like hmac'ing the cookies and more easy to mess up security details.

You should never trust anything given to you from a client. If I send you a product list, that product list should be opaque ids. The session should be ephemeral and not matter anyway, so there is no reason for it to be signed.

On a recent project I used pjax, because it was way simpler to figure out what the heck was going on, and it did not have a bunch of extra stuff that was difficult.

Angular seemed very nice - until I tried to do something that it did not foresee and... wow... things get complicated really fast when you do that.
I'd be more interested in seeing the equivalent graph but for small companies, rather than big companies.
"How?"

If you're going to say introducing a new OS is fragmenting the market than Android fits that definition as well as any other. If you're going to claim Android gets a free pass because Calvinball well we might as well close the thread.
It is important for future whistleblowers. It is possibly not important for Manning's sentence...though, the willingness of future presidents (maybe we'll get an honest one eventually) to pardon Manning would be greatly diminished had he been convicted of aiding the enemy.

It's also the only sane result. Even people within the various branches have said they knew of no harm that had come from the released information.
Unclear article, it seems like the smugglers were just playing a lottery with their stuff, hoping that the cars they chose wouldn't get investigated?
