If I found my bank account empty I would rather that the thief got away without punishment than sending the thief to jail for 67 years.

I suspect many if not most of the victims would feel the same. There is a real consideration to make to victims who don't want to be part of or reason for any cruel punishments.

I did contribute something, the point that drugs are not being planted on people. The parallel construction wouldn't work if the suspects were not actually committing crimes. Nobody wants to talk about it I guess however, too busy getting their fix on today's outrage porn.
The thing is, as these things come out, it turns paranoia into reality. I preferred being paranoid, rather than correct, myself.

Maybe you are getting downvotes because you seem to be endorsing illegal activities by the federal authorities? It is a crime to fail to divulge the source of evidence, or worse, outright lie about it, is it not?
that's a great idea, I bet we could feed it corn syrup; we certainly have a lot of corn fields!
Themes should be a collection of template/css/whatever files that can be unzipped to the right location and used by Hugo. That would need standards for the file types and directory structure, config settings for which themes to use, or which parts of the theme to use.

I was thinking about a WordPress replacement in Golang. WordPress themes can be zipped and shared as a bundle, which has made a large variety of themes freely available.
I am from Brazil, there is no personal bankrupcty.

Also, your debts are inherited, mandatorily, specially if you have spouse, kids, or parents (in the order. if you die, your spouse will get at least 50% of your debts, if you don't have one, then your kids will be forced to take at least 50% of your debts, if you don't have kids, then your parents... the other 50% must be inherited by someone too, but you can choose with your will who will be the unlucky person).

And because a side effect of inheritance laws, the government can (although I never heard about it doing it) give your debts to a third cousin even.

Also, another thing is that here in Brazil student debts commonly have as collateral the assets of a third party (in fact all sorts of debts here work that way, except for companies), so if I DO fail to pay my debt, then it will pass to my parents, that are already indebted and will certainly fail to pay it, then their stuff will be taken (and I don't have anything to be taken, my 3 most valuable assets are my laptop, my phone, and my glasses).

EDIT to joseflavio: Your link is about law in Portugual, not Brazil, note the currency mentioned is Euro, not Reais.

EDIT2 to joseflavio: I got curious enough, to see if there is anything analogous in Brazil, and indeed there is, by another name "renuncia".

The law (I will skip the non-interesting part) about "renuncia":

Art. 1.807. O interessado em que o herdeiro declare se aceita, ou não, a herança, poderá, vinte dias após aberta a sucessão, requerer ao juiz prazo razoável, não maior de trinta dias, para, nele, se pronunciar o herdeiro, sob pena de se haver a herança por aceita.

Art. 1.812. São irrevogáveis os atos de aceitação ou de renúncia da herança.

Art. 1.813. Quando o herdeiro prejudicar os seus credores, renunciando à herança, poderão eles, com autorização do juiz, aceitá-la em nome do renunciante.

§ 1o A habilitação dos credores se fará no prazo de trinta dias seguintes ao conhecimento do fato.

§ 2o Pagas as dívidas do renunciante, prevalece a renúncia quanto ao remanescente, que será devolvido aos demais herdeiros.

Thus in short: You have 20 days to renounce your inheritance.

If your are inheriting debts and renounce your inheritance, your creditors can sue to force you still inherit the debt and pay them, and after the debt is paid, the "good" parts of the inheritance get successfully renounced and go to someone else, thus attempting to renounce a debt only results in punishment, since you still get the debt, but DON'T get the good parts of the inheritance.
Lame Axe "get.a.girlfriend" ad implemented in various languages
The instability/unreliability of the Drive API can't be understated. I used to have almost my entire app rely heavily on gdocs, but the api is far too shaky. Even wrapping every API call in a try_5_times function (which would often take 2-3 requests before getting a non-500), server errors would get through. Critical components of the API would go down for hours -- once, the entire day -- sometimes without even a blip on the status page.

While the api is a little funny, it's clearly very powerful. Anyone criticizing the move to work with Google API's at all should keep that in mind. But the nonexistent service and unreliability of the API are hard to overcome.

Oh absolutely, I don't deny that Top Gear almost certainly staged it for comic effect. But I thought it was a decent review of the car upto and including that point.

The one major concern that almost everyone has about electric cars is to do with the range anxiety and I thought they demonstrated that well. Sure, it was staged; but staged to demonstrate the point in an entertaining way (well, the amount of entertainment is personal preference I guess).

Having used LESS for a long time I've switched to SCSS because the debugging is so much better. I found that less would often fail silently and just truncate the style sheet. I'm a rubyist and I've found since switching that the framework support is a bit better as well. The value of the compass framework[1] also can't be overstated, it's a fantastic standard library for css3 etc. There doesn't really seem to be an equivalent for less.

If you're looking for a simple setup that will allow you to use SCSS I can't recommend middleman[2] enough, it's easy to setup and you can use livereload with it very easily (admittedly it does require ruby...). If you're on github you can even get free hosting using middleman-gh-pages[3].

According to the article, one of the suspects faces 95 years in prison. The maximum sentence for second-degree murder in Virginia, for example, is 40 years.

You could argue that e.g. 5 years is not enough. But I think it would be hard to argue against the idea that 95 years is far too much, when it's twice as much as the maximum you can get for deliberately killing a person in my home state, as long as you didn't plan the killing in advance.
Their web page doesn't bring so much information about price? if it will cost money I hope Google will acquire it and make it free.

This is awesome, but I'd really hate to be a beta-customer for synthetic beef. It might cause a lot of really bad side-effects while the whole industry matures, figures out what standards it should set and implements them.
All this was before the Model S, too. It's interesting that their series 20 just finished up and they didn't include a whisper about the Model S, either. Too bad, because I think if Tesla had ignored the joke, they'd have had some good press from TG.

This is exactly what you should do. Your users will understand -- that's why so many have supported you on the googlegroup. Charge $3/mo and you won't hear any complaints (and if you do, you can point to your googlegroup).

This is by far your easiest and clearest path to monetization, at least that I can see. And it seems you're long overdue for monetization.
Agreed. I think they would have reviewed the Model S favorably, since the range is much further than the previous models.
You could still trace packets into and out of the server, showing you exactly where your traffic is being routed.
I don't understand how HE will magically solve this. An HE encrypted application cannot be run on a server, because the instructions would still need to be decrypted for them to execute. HE allows a server to perform an encrypted operation on encrypted data. What you can do is a type of DNS server without anybody knowing what URL's you are looking up.
The trouble is that I'm not sure there is a sufficient magnitude to deter all financial crimes.

There's an inherent limit to how much financial punishment you can mete out, after all. You can permanently impoverish a person, and that's it. Many people are already permanently impoverished, in which case a financial crime would basically be no risk, with a large potential reward if they can get away with it.

Edit: "deter all financial crimes" is poor wording. Of course you can't deter all crimes, and as such that shouldn't be a goal. What I'm really trying to get at is that such a punishment system would give you a large number of people for whom it's not really a punishment at all, or at least not a very significant one.

You're arguing that breaking the fundamental principles of both law enforcement and the right to a fair trial is "not troubling".

You have every right to do that (and nobody should downvote you for that), if you argue in favor of a much more repressive legal regime than the one we currently have in all Western democracies. But instead, you just insult people ("hysteria", "paranoid") who might not agree with arguments you don't even bother to present.
The bell phone network strated with less than 100 users in the beginning, as well as radios and tvs. These are all examples of very stong network effect dependent businesses.

All of these businesses had at some point less than 100 users. At some point the self sustained chain reaction took place. This is what makes network effect dependent business attractive and also because one can easily grab and lock the full market keeping competitors away.

The key point is how to reach the level where the chain reaction starts. For that you need tactics which increase the value with the few people available.

For a phone company trying to sell phone where there is no such thing, offer a phone line to a relative with each phone line bought. Offer phone lines to service providers like doctors, hair cutters, garage, etc. This increase the value of buying a phone line.

Facebook, did just that, without knowing it, by starting with Harvard students. There was high value to be part of it and the i initial people made it very attractive. This is lowering the critical mass. No one wanted to look at MySpace.

>(you undoubtedly had to pay for that VPN with a legal name and payment information.)

I used Bytesized-Hosting, which allows you to pay for their VPS with bitcoins. I only had to provide a username, password, and a junk email address.
AirVPN, among other VPN providers, also allow you to pay with Bitcoins, which can be anonymized over TOR for that particular transaction.
I am not sure how much it helps protect the conifdentiality of the user, but many VPNs also claim to delete their OpenVPN logs immediately after a session has ceased. Though, I suppose if a three letter agency wanted dirt on someone, this policy would be easy enough to circumvent.
Dealing with fragmentation? Null check!

I'm seeing a lot of apps that assume too much. They assume I've got GPS. And even if I had GPS they assume it is turned on. Same for Wifi or any data connection. Therefore a lot of crashes occur because of null pointer exceptions.

The simple fix is ofcourse to null check or to use a little more of try and catch.
Very cool. Free app tried, paid app bought!
His take on Larry Wall is terribly uncharitable:

First: Larry is insane. This means more to me than anything in the language itself. I prefer my heroes to have a firm grasp on sanity. I was never a fan of Don Quixote. Larry says God talks to him, and tells him that He hates non-Perl programmers. Larry is a fruit cake, a nut job, crazy as a loon, batty as a belfry.

Having read the interview (http://interviews.slashdot.org/story/02/09/06/1343222/larry-...) I don't see how anyone could come away thinking this. Larry Wall seems like a nice guy to me.
The RAV4 was appealing to me, but I've watched the forums and there seems to be an ongoing spate of serious problems with Toyota and Tesla pointing fingers at each other. The forum moderator has had his RAV4 in the shop a number of times for non-trivial things.
Copying is creation. It's certainly a lot less work than the creation of the first copy was, but after a copy operation, there is indeed another movie just like the first.

What the building of the first copy of Transformers 3 accomplished, and building of the second copy does not, is delimiting of the type. This confusion in the context of copyright between an item and its type is the source of a lot of bendy arguments.
An omission of fact is a lie. Try doing it under oath. You'll go to jail.

Source - "Also known as a continuing misrepresentation, a lie by omission occurs when an important fact is left out in order to foster a misconception. Lying by omission includes failures to correct pre-existing misconceptions. When the seller of a car declares it has been serviced regularly but does not tell that a fault was reported at the last service, the seller lies by omission. It can be compared to dissimulation" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie

Or, due to recent publicity surrounding internet monitoring capabilities of various agencies, they decided to move fast before countermeasures appear. If it were still a secret, they probably wouldn't risk tipping off their (bigger fish) targets to their abilities, but now it's use-it-or-lose-it.

And it'd be great PR to justify all those surveillance capabilities with the general public.

Or, it's just a coincidence.

Securing success for "digital for default" programme
I suspect not.

Most people - especially in America these days - live in tenuous circumstances, and "[finding] my bank account empty" would quite literally ruin their lives. For most people, that would be many times the provocation needed for them to feel justified in ruining a thief's life in exchange.
I am not sure it is illegal to obtain information through lying and deceit, as police do this all the time, especially if the information is not used in a trial. If there is enough "clean" evidence to go to trial, I am not sure there is any reason to doubt the validity of the arrest, trial or the conviction of the defendant.

The collection of data may be illegal, and that is worth investigating. The collection of information of data of innocent people, people with no probable cause they are committing crimes or without a warrant, is not OK.

Really, I think there are plenty of ObjC fans, but ObjC developers can be divided into two groups:

1. Those who use it unwillingly, and happily use some other environment when not targeting Apple platforms.

2. Those who are big Apple fans and don't see the point of targeting non-Apple platforms in the first place.

I'm sure there are exceptions, but not enough for GNUStep to get traction.

They're talking about an obfuscation that's provably strong - i.e. there is no way to de-obfuscate the code, not even in a million years.

You're talking about an obfuscation that's "good enough for the real world" - i.e. it will take a very skilled person several years to de-obfuscate.

Also, their result is very theoretic, and too slow to be deployed in the real world, at least for the next couple of years. See my other comment if you're interested.

BTW - I think by "mystery" they meant "open computational problem". Kind of a mystery if you think about it :-)

Protocols in general cannot be obfuscated directly with this technique. For the sake of simplicity, I will assume we are talking about network protocols. Because this encryption, by definition, does not change behavior, the program would send identical messages over the network, and you can still monitor these and reverse engineer the protocol like before. For the more general, but not formally defined, idea of obfuscation you would also be able to obfuscate the network traffic and other external stuff, because you can change the behavior without actually changing the behavior.
Did you read the article? 55% energy usage, 4% greenhouse gas emissions, relative to the real thing.
Although I currently can't see any evidence of involvement of any government branch, the ultimate result may be the same nevertheless.

Google Glass certainly has the same issue, but to an even higher degree, since we know about the collaboration of Google with the NSA.

EDIT: thanks for the correction, missed that one.
Traffic analysis would not be a concern if the data being transferred and decoded by each program was interlaced with data from other streams. This would prevent an all-knowing adversary from following the data as it changes state through each program's execution.

And of course, the standard onion-encryption would be applied. The data on one end would be different than on the other or at any point in between. Padding to prevent size attacks, etc. (Everything Tor already does, I believe.)

The homomorphic-encryption would just allow you to 'outsource' your cryptography, routing and buffering mechanisms to a remote host, making data transfer between each individual 'identity' much faster without jeopardizing anonymity.
Do British newspapers not capitalize the word Internet? I know all American papers capitalize it because it's a proper noun. I'm wondering if that's just a recurring typo in this article or if British journalists follow a different convention.

I do not dismiss the blame you place on the article's author, but his take on the bandwidth requirement for teleportation may not be entirely useless. Consider "teleportation" in other context, like teleporting in other medium/nature in which physical transport would be too expensive or impossible. Say, a virtual world... We'd have no choice but to "waste time communicating in this ridiculously horrible way".
"The parallel construction wouldn't work if the suspects were not actually committing crimes."

See "Three Felonies a Day"[1]

Also, note the following quote from the original article:

"most drug-trafficking defendants plead guilty before trial"

In fact, something like 90% or more of people accused of crimes in the US never get a trial, because they plead guilty. They plead guilty because prosecutors pile on so many charges that the defendants are afraid to risk life in jail if they happen to lose (in a judicial system that's usually stacked against them). Defending a case in Federal court is also incredibly expensive and traumatic. See the Aaron Swartz case for good examples of all of the above.

I'm the opposite, I love meat, but hate the animal suffering. Even if it tastes half as good and costs around the same, I will switch.
Could fur possibly be easier to grow than meat? I think it's a fascinating idea, actually, but my impression is that in-vitro meat is currently mostly just muscle cells grown in culture, without any of the complications of mixing different cell types, giving them structure, etc. With fur, you'd have to create hair follicles, and induce the right oils to be excreted, etc... I'm not a biologist but it sounds much tougher.
No. This result says nothing about DRM.
I don't think marketing will be a problem if you consider the industry has no problem selling crap that is made from far more distasteful things than synthetic meat.

It initially won't be sold as "synthetic meat". It will be sold as "sausage", "hamburger" and countless other products of which the labeling isn't protected and which are basically "mystery meat" anyway.

It has been done before, just look at the wide range of fake dairy products which we now consider perfectly normal.

Getting it through regulation will be the biggest challenge.
I'd assume one would have to manually enable it? At least for non .onion sites.
