Corporate boycotts. Massive, Internet-wide corporate boycotts. Corporate lobbyists influence/fund politicians so influence the funders.

What would the effects be from a flash boycott if X-million people suddenly stopped buying from a corporation? Someone could devise a model to calculate the effects and find potential candidates.

The SOPA blackout showed what's possible when the Internet organizes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protests_against_SOPA_and_PIPA). Turn it into an Internet meme that empowers the people, and keep it going until the echo grows too loud to be ignored.

It would probably require the cooperation of a team of computer scientists, finance geeks, and social-marketing gurus to organize the campaign. Or maybe one clever hacker could pull it off.

Have sensitive data with MongoDB?  Encrypt it  Simply.
With MongoDB, encryption at the application stack is simple. Being NoSQL, having no constraints on data types, it is as simple as encrypting your sensitive fields at the application level.
I don't understand your response, is this not what the specialised tools would be primarily designed for?
But the model X doesn't sound like it will be any cheaper than the model S right?

Yep, they could just as well say "You have lots of money in your bank account, which could be used to support terrorism". Or: "You've been making anti-government tweets. That could inspire terrorism."

With a bit of twisted logic, anyone and anything can be connected in some way to terrorism, which is why vague laws like these allow governments to violate the rights of anyone for any reason, as this incident clearly demonstrates.
My guess is that the same principle applies to crosswords (for example) that applies to lifting weights: you have to keep ramping up the difficulty in order to realize the benefits. If you're just doing the easy/comfortable crossword puzzle every day, you're not challenging yourself. A cognitive task that is actually challenging will probably yield a lot better results. Learning a new language, studying a new level of mathematics, taking up a new hobby, learning chess, etc. Every time a task becomes trivial, you need to increase the difficulty or find another task.

As for "listening to Mozart," that strikes me as an extremely passive (i.e., cognitively untaxing) activity. I've always been highly skeptical of the putative benefits of listening to music, because the brain is extremely good at "tuning out" ambient sounds. I'd be more inclined to believe there's some benefit if the listener actively attempts to listen and perform another task simultaneously. Trying to keep attention focused on two very complex tasks at once is challenging; simply kicking back and letting music stream in the background is not. I'm sure there are creative benefits to listening to complex and stimulating music, but one needs to be actively engaged in the music.
My thoughts too, to me, ordinary email is like a conversation in the park. People can listen to that if they want, it's the public. Ordinary email goes over the public Internet. It seems to me to be a bit of elegant arm waving. To me the restrictions on encryption are of more concern. It's like saying we can't have a private conversation except within the bounds of what the government says is OK.
The solution at least for the time being is not going to be over the pipes, it will have to be real world.

A 1 GB USB costs approximately 4$ , you can encrypt the information and use the regular mail with no return address. To avoid cameras in the post office you can use a 3rd party or a real world dropbox.

This sounds so sci-fi dystopian it's hard to believe it actually a plausible solution.

ps. Don't forget to use gloves, make sure "they" can't track your purchase, and also check if the drive is clean as a whistle.
Religious fanatics are committing atrocities all over the world. In Algeria they behead people, in Iraq they blow each other up, in Ireland they used to blow each other up (including schools) and in the US they shoot each other and innocent bystanders or professionals.

Geopolitics don't enter into it.
Yap. But it breaks isolation. Some places need that. There is no free lunch again. Otherwise semantically it is accessing the same data from multiple concurrency contexts. Once that concurrency grows it becomes very hard to reason about who and when changed what if you get a crash. Setting write watch-points in gdb is one way I found to do it in C++ for example.
"As long as the two parties get to decide who American can elect,"

No, its one set of political campaign donors, not two parties.

One set of donors, hires two competing PR firms masquerading as political parties, to implement two different messages aiming at the identical goal.

Its relatively effective and stable as a technology for social control. Its also effective at benefiting the people who are running it, which is obviously not the general public or humanity overall or the environment or pretty much anyone but a couple 1%ers.
I find the high frame-rate stuff to be "hyper-real", and to spoil the magical surreality you want in a LotR-style movie. I think 48/60fps will make its big break with a heavily grounded films in the style of End of Watch or Chronicle, where that non-theatrical realism can be leveraged instead of fought against.

High frame rates also raise the bar for the actors every bit as much talkies did; micro-expressions become much more obvious at 60fps.
Threading is required as there's processing going in the background. Not sure what you mean by non-blocking techniques. Lock-free algorithms maybe? These are used in ZeroMQ as well.
So what is this a blowback for?
What will this look like through Hubble?
> We've established that it's terrorism.

Something tells me you were aiming for that. But in fact it isn't, it's just people with a few screws loose in their head that are afraid of emancipated and educated women closely aligned with a religion.

Think 'insecure males' before you think 'terrorism' in this particular case.
There is that also, but the financial aspect is separate. India is a major growth zone right now, and lots of American companies are seeking to expand into the Indian marketplace. There is thus a strong desire to play up the culture there and play down the culture here, and paper over things like widespread sexual assault. After all, if you're relocating an entire division to India, the narrative has to be about how you'll not just save money,b but how much better India is than the U.S. in other respects.

Hi, very interested in how to get in.
Sadly not too many opportunities in here.
The one in the Model S is indeed massive. It's tall enough to do a vertical split and have two different activities shown at once, top and bottom, if you set it up that way, and big enough to comfortably read a non-mobile web page. (Don't do that while driving, please.)
"In general, as long as you’re staying largely inside the world of what I call “BOLS” (Block-Oriented, Lexically-Scoped) Languages, such as C, C++, VB, Java, C#, PHP, Lua, Python, Ruby or perl, you can in fact learn enough pidgin to get by very very quickly with this method. Granted, in those last three languages it will be obvious to experienced programmers that you’re writing inelegant code. But you can get by, is what I’m saying."

Just in those last three languages?

Nope. It's a platform for delivering packaged and reusable distributed algorithms, such as request/reply or publish/subscribe. The algorithms handle the issues like message routing, scaling up, handling partial failure etc.
In the US, we have a GDP/capita of $50k/year. In the UK, it's just under $36k/year. In Poland it's $21k/year.

If it's impossible for a Brit to save, since they must consume everything they earn to survive with a minimal level of enjoyment, then how do the Polish avoid death? Do the Polish simply not enjoy life at all? And surely you'd agree that Americans should be able to save, simply by reducing their consumption to British levels.

The point he is making is that the Model S has an "old-money" vibe to it. A lot of expensive cars have a "bling bling" style designed to grab attention and promote themselves as status symbols.

The Model S doesn't have to stand out from competitors on its ability to be a status symbol through superior/unique styling. It instead stands out through performance, reliability, refinement, and energy source.
"They".
You realize that people can still for example move out, right?

I wrote in a agressive tone, because I see LOTS of US people that just keep complaining about their government, and do nothing about it, beside voting (that clearly, is not working), and when they get for example a 9/11 on their head, they don't understand why other people hate them.

It is a thing of owning up to your mistakes, if you are not making a effort to avoid supporting your government that do evil actions, you are evil yourself, because you are allowing you are providing resources to make evil.

I am Brazillian, and I am tired of hearing here from US tourists for example, that they don't understand why they are hated, if the US meddling here is not their fault, but their government fault. I don't believe the US population is stupid, or they DO support the government evil actions, or they just don't care, saying that it is "not your fault" is NOT acceptable when you are providing taxes that pay the wages of CIA people that disappear my friends.
> Now that they basically consider journalism to be terrorism, if I subscribe to The Guardian am I "funding terrorism"?

No, I don't think so. Humbly, my best articles are the one with less +1s while the ones with relatively high +1s are related to my success or luck promoting them.

Also I don't see a correlation in my blogs between more retweets and more Google's +1s. It is most probable because my blogs don't have many visitors and didn't cross the charm, but I expect search engines like Google to leverage the long tail instead of smashing it.
As that rightly states, D-Notices are requests to not publish. They have no legal standing, though they are frequently obeyed. (One relatively reason example was the D-Notice concerning Prince Harry's military deployments — for the sake of his safety and of those serving alongside him.)

What's really disconcerting is that the other outlets have decided this isn't sufficiently "in the public interest" as to disobey the notice.
It could be they were served a "National Security Letter".

Could this happen to a site like HN? And if so, would we know?
I don't think this matters. Since I'm advocating privacy of communications, you could arrange to use trusted third parties and encryption such that others would not know what you've been saying, or with whom you've been communicating. It's perfectly reasonable for an employer to monitor communications while on their premises, and it is generally illegal for them to wiretap your home without you knowing about it.
Yes, that's exaclty what ZeroMQ is doing. Then check how the code looks like. It's a mess. Intrusive containers deliver same performance characteristics and the code actually looks clean.
As an IT professional I cannot honestly do this without going much further (like teaching them about using an Open Source OS instead of Windows, the dangers of modern hardware components like PCI NICs, BIOSes that may be remotely infected by malware/modified, keyloggers, TEMPEST, defeating Truecrypt, PGP, Bitlocker with memory dumps etc.), way out of scope for a normal person.

I don't think it's feasible for most IT-savvy people to access the Internet using commodity hardware (regardless of software) without exposing themselves to mass-surveillance or at least inherent weaknesses that may be exploited for that purpose at some point when secure client-side encryption becomes more widespread so that just snooping traffic at major backbones is no longer sufficient.

As a result, it would feel wrong to give people a false sense of security by teaching them about client-side encryption only.
We need a whistleblower law.

A good one, like one that is embedded in the consitution that protects people from speaking out.
well, if this keeps up, the NSA won't have much internet to snoop. I think that these politicians need to stop taking months off and get some shit done.
I think it's funny that you accuse Tesla of making decisions without context for how real people live, yet have decided that this vehicle is useless for everyone just because it doesn't fit your needs.

I'm going to wager that Tesla knows more about their market than you do, and that roof racks are not as important to that market as you think they are.
Make sense, but I still think it's an overreaction. My original question still stands (is it irresponsible for the EFF/ACLU/etc to continue to operate with an online mailbox?), and I would also argue that PJ could mitigate this by simply removing any contact form or information from her site. Yes, people who know her email can still contact her anyway but obviously, that means they can already do that after the site is shut down. Groklaw could continue to operate as an outspoken advocate for legal freedom...perhaps Glenn Greenwald will find himself in a similar position, in which all communication to him is expected to be compromised, but I'd still think he'd continue to do his reporting and writing even if his sourcing was scarce.
I was in a European Tesla retailer this month or the last, and the person told me that no tests NCAP test had been made at the time.
Pardon me, I was just trying to preempt where cherry picking examples usually leads to by responding with a question that could from be the point you were trying to make.

"This is what I call a Gucci SUV. One that never gets dirty and never sees sports-utility work. It's just a bigger car and a beautiful one at that."

Good point. Would you mind bringing it up on nanomsg mailing list?
People must understand that every interaction with an Internet service means voluntarily sending your data to them. These companies don't just "vacuum it up", the data is simply sent directly to them. Maybe you don't see it that way, but that is why the perception needs to change.

When you use Gmail you are sending your mail to Google, first, and then it is relayed to the recipients. When you search for driving directions to an address, you are sending data to Google that says "I want to know how to drive/cycle/walk to X location right now". When you search for some phrase you are sending a request to Google that says "I want to know about this".

There is no reason why they wouldn't hold onto that data. You sent it to them, because you want the response that they can provide. It's an exchange.
Which is precisely what I was hinting at. The idea that the NSA would be capable of keeping this data absolutely confidential is ludicrous. And that's why in the future (most likely already today) it will be relatively safe to assume that there are other parties, be it individuals or organizations, that have access to some aspect of your private communication.
This title is completely misleading and paints the government here in a false light. It is clear to me from the original article that the GCHQ staff were ensuring that hard drives ALREADY slated for destruction by the Guardian were complying with their required destruction process for classified information. They were not destroying hard drives owned by a private corporation without their consent or seizing hard drives. I know it is tempting to read only one side of a story and jump on reactionary headlines, but let's try to continue giving benefit of the doubt to both parties like rational humans.
This Is The Revolution
I for one think a 50% success rate (2 out of 4 if we don't count the aborted project) is a great success given the 'Internet random stranger hookup' setup. With more rounds and more candidates we got a mini-PG now.
I am in the process of developing a new messaging system to address exactly that issue ( anonymous communication where it is unclear who is talking to who )

The way in which it will work is having all users of the system constantly send encrypted streams to each other ( mostly gibberish ). When you want to send a real message you simply replace the encrypted gibberish with some real content.

It will implement "onion" style repeated encryption to prevent direct links from being statistically analyzed as well.

Look for it in 6 months or so. Details will be up at circleofdistrust.com in about a month or so.
If the police believe that an individual is in possession of highly sensitive stolen information that would help terrorism, then they should act

Yeah, well let's say you could remotely justify the warped logic that journalism is terrorism (which you cannot but let's just suppose).

You didn't just seize their possessions, you seized the individual for the full nine hours you were allowed and didn't charge them with anything. So, this was premeditated harassment because they told the US government they were going to hold him while he was still on the flight. You just wanted him to suffer.
Amazing talk. I need to forward it to a lot of friends...

Rusbridger: destroying hard drives allowed us to continue NSA coverage
The Direct Project is an email encryption scheme that hopes to replace the mail and fax currently used by American physicians to communicate patient health information. It is a requirement for Stage 2 (2014) Meaningful Use certified EHR software. So this is going to be adopted on a large scale in the next year or two.

It uses SMTP to transmit SMIME messages signed with X.509. Public keys for recipients are discovered either via DNS (as a CERT record) or via LDAP. Those discovered certificates are only trusted if the two parties have previously exchanged a trust anchor.

Direct itself does not define how trust relationships are initiated (which is a problem with scalability). So infrastructure is being formed around the protocol - such as HISPs and Trust Communities. HISPs intend to operate similar to how email providers operate - by providing web portals and edge protocols. Trust Communities are intended to create bundles of trust anchors for companies that have passed as certain level of accreditation.

There are currently two fully functional open source Reference Implementations in Java and C#.

The funny thing is it means anyone carrying information related to state security, even if they're involved with it at a senior level, could be pulled under Section 7 in an airport. There's the potential for data leaks there, possibly in an even greater way due to the rampant lack of ability when it comes to technology in the UK government.

It's complicated. Modern frame navigation evolved a few years ago out of this work:
http://www.adambarth.com/papers/2009/barth-jackson-mitchell-...

Those changes represented a pretty dramatic improvement and all modern browsers are now in alignment. But the resulting behavior does make numerous concessions for compatibility with existing content. Take your complaint about any child frame being able to navigate top. That behavior was retained for both content compatibility and because it was a necessary security measure.

To explain the security concern, standardized frame communication predates the broad adoption of X-Frame-Options. So, the only reliable, cross-browser click-jacking defense at the time was frame-busting via top-navigation. And because we're talking about the Web, you have to consider a transition path of many years for existing content.

It may not seem like a great explanation, but the fact is that most of the confusing security behaviors on the Web really are the result of being boxed in by the need to keep existing content working. And, unfortunately, it takes many years to get improved mechanisms widely supported among browsers and to then migrate the majority of the Web onto them.
