Are you getting the cryptography reviewed by an accredited third party, or are you making the relevant code open-source? Otherwise I would hardly make the claim that it is "NSA-proof."

Identical. The bulk of our system's latency involves making calls out to other services, so that is not the bottleneck in this case.

Not the general public, but I listen to Bloomberg financial radio a lot, and know-nothing finance types definitely believe that Apple needs another product - any product - immediately.

On the other side, different analysts say both the watch market and the TV market are too small to matter, so Apple is also doomed if they do. That the MP3 player, smartphone and tablet markets were also "too small" before Apple released their products hasn't entered their mind.
Your argument for compassion and respecting people's vulnerability when providing general emergency services and fire fighting is a good one. I wonder, however, if this case shows that there are different needs for airports and responses to large scale disasters?

A crash site is a hugely complex and chaotic event; wouldn't it make sense to have more data and awareness if that's what cameras can provide? Helmet cams, truck cams could all provide additional data for investigators.
Shelters are only a very small part of the programs that help get folks off the streets. While they may not be the best of places, most homeless who seek help (at least in my city) will spend only a short time in shelters. These programs operate primarily on short-term and longer-term housing options coupled with job training, rehabilitation for any substance abuse issues, and general help.

People spending significant time in shelters (again, in my city) are refusing to enter into these programs.
Sometimes I feel the problem is mine. Because sometimes they are right, but I still hold my opinion, selfish maybe. I just want to be free and meet new people who have same viewpoint with me. But doubt always come when I want to leave them.
A lot of people just clone their code to the server and do "lein ring server-headless", (lein is the clojure build tool) which starts the server.

You can also package all your code and its dependencies into a single jar, then copy that jar to your to your provider and run it.

It's pretty easy basically, and more advanced options are available, but even if it was more involved, I think the benefits you get with Clojure are big enough that I'd be willing to put up with quite a bit more difficulty than there is.
> When did it become something we have to love and wrap up so much of our self-image into?

When we started spending 50, 60 hours a week at work. Even at 40 hours a week, it's exhausting to try to find any real time to devote to hobbies and "extracurricular" learning outside of work. If you feel like you're stagnating, feeling like you're wasting those 40 hours of life every week, why stay, just because "work is a financial transaction" ?
Hmm, have they changed their landing page since you posted this, or are either of the sites A/B testing? Because I don't see any similarities.

I think a lot of people HAVE made the case convincingly, at least well enough for me. I have worked in major C++ shops that ban the use of exceptions (and enforce it).

Just to add another person who regrets exceptions to the big pile, http://250bpm.com/blog:4 (The ZMQ Author)

"Thus, the error handling was of utmost importance. It had to be very explicit and unforgiving.

C++ exceptions just didn't fill the bill. They are great for guaranteeing that program doesn't fail — just wrap the main function in try/catch block and you can handle all the errors in a single place.

However, what's great for avoiding straightforward failures becomes a nightmare when your goal is to guarantee that no undefined behaviour happens. The decoupling between raising of the exception and handling it, that makes avoiding failures so easy in C++, makes it virtually impossible to guarantee that the program never runs info undefined behaviour.

With C, the raising of the error and handling it are tightly couped and reside at the same place in the source code. This makes it easy to understand what happens if error happens..."
A good skeptic should always want to be proven wrong, it's just that doing so should be a high standard.
Of course you're having a hard time understanding it. It's because you've been so brainwashed as a kid growing up in the 70s and 80s (just like me), believing that the Soviet Union was the "Evil Empire", and that they were so freaking evil, that they would destroy themselves just so that they could take down the US.

In fact, the Soviet Union was made up of people who loved their friends and family and didn't want to destroy the world, just like Americans. And they were no more willing to start nuclear war than Americans were. And given the fact that there was completely Mutually Assured Destruction, there was no point for the Soviet Union to ever launch a nuclear strike.

So, sure, there was always the possibility of nuclear war, just like there is currently the possibility of a nuclear war against China, or India, Pakistan, North Korea, etc. But it's not nearly as likely as we were brainwashed to believe as kids.

Instead, Reagan used this as a tool to increase support for a build-up of nuclear weapons, to increase military spending, and ultimately turned the US from the world's largest creditor to the world's largest debtor. Some might say that he saved the world from the Soviet Union by crippling them financially by goading them into an arms race that they couldn't win financially. But it was definitely on the heels of a massive propaganda campaign that none of us realized, until you actually compare notes with people who lives in the Soviet Union at the time, and understand the actually threat levels.

I got an early start in morse code thanks to my grandfather, who was a Navy radioman in World War II and later became a ham operator.

Sadly I never got my ham license, but it was my grandfather's obsession with radio which got me into electronics and, ultimately, software engineering. I still practice coding now and then, and morse is my go-to "hello world" for playing with new microcontrollers:

Great list. It really is quite amazing how cheap it is to build and test SaaS products today. As another data point, my company is two years old, with hundreds of thousands of users and very healthy revenue, and our monthly hosting bill is less than $200/mo.

It's because of services and tools like this that I think bootstrapping will become the norm rather than the exception in the startup world in the future.

If software is eating the world, surely it will continue to eat away at the capital requirements to building and scaling these SaaS businesses.
How can one compare government to mafia? What is wrong with you people? Mafia doesn't waste your time by conscripting you to be a part time accountant before you pay it. Mafia doesn't hold elections among those who pay it, pretending that they serve their interests. Mafia doesn't start massive wars where thousands of innocent people die. Comparing government to mafia is disgraceful to mafia.
As a hypothetical, imagine the NSA has unlimited ability to spy on the entire internet, and has cracked every crypto algorithm known to man, and that these documents shouldn't be known to the NSA. Sneakernet becomes the only viable option.

I'm not saying this is the case, but some less drastic version of it may be a partial reason.

Anyone else think that all this negative press is on purpose? I mean, really. They've taken one of the most iconic men of this nascent century and apparently slapped together a movie about him.

It's not like there is not considerable source material to work with (even without Isaacson's book if you're concerned about the "other" movie).

It just feels like someone has asked the press to deliberately drum up negative opinions specifically in regards to the true validity of the movie (not, you know, overall quality) and it will likely drive people out in droves.
That's the last straw for me. From now on, my private communications are between me and my deceased cat.

Well,

One assumes that the parties involved would always encrypt their documents.

Quite possibly the aim was not so much to gain access to the documents but to keep Greenwald from having access. Anyway, regardless of other motives, this denial would be effective harassment on top of the harassment of seizing Greenwald's partner.

It's the old "you're under suspicion, right, so we had to break every thing you in your apartment, right, looking for hidden documents, see. We'll tell you in court if there's something we can use, see" approach.
We have to start somewhere, right?

You're absolutely right that hobbies and activities outside of work can be incredibly rewarding. But to dedicate a large portion of your life to something you're not passion about, is truly sad.

I made the decision to leave pragmatically and like Ellen who shared her story leaving Google, it wasn't rushed. I'm fortunate to be in a position where I can willingly leave and I realize many others don't have that opportunity.

Thanks for the interesting response, and, especially, the link to a fascinating article.

I grew up in a housing project just East of Chinatown, so I might be calibrated differently. Some people's "dangerous" is my normal.

On the other hand, my time was the '60s and '70s. I left for education in tame New England in '76. This was a high-crime era, but Chinatown and Little Italy were safe if you minded your own business, because organized crime did not tolerate street violence directed at tourists and civilians. This was before the phenomenon of Vietnamese gangs discussed in Fox Butterfield's article. Of course, when I say "Village" I don't mean East Village: Alphabet City was always considered bad.
I thought it would be easy to create an extension that lets you adjust CSS properties using JQuery UI sliders. About three thousand and something lines of code later, I have made https://github.com/pdorrell/style-adjuster, which is not even finished yet, but it demonstrably functions.

In the course of development, I found that it is non-trivial to make a popup window inside a Chrome extension which acts on a target tab, because "window.opener" is not available. So I developed a test extension at https://github.com/pdorrell/test-popup-extension which does that, and which runs its Javascript code interchangeably inside or outside the extension.
Similar experience here. Initial schedule was a no-show, and further, nobody picked up the phone at Homejoy, and there was no way to contact the cleaner. It took them several hours to follow up on the voicemail that nobody made it.

However they did schedule a follow-up and the cleaner did a reasonable job a week later.

It could be as simple as the documents being too large.
Considering the ingredients, I wouldn't be surprised if a relatively large portion of the protein came from the almonds and chocolate. I never understood why people eat this crap when it's so easy to get protein from simple, natural sources.

You're probably not the only one, but I suspect that this is driven by culture more than anything else. (Of course, this doesn't make you feelings any less valid.) Crickets are likely to be less conscious and 'sentient' than animals such as cattle, and so I think this is a very good step from an ethical point of view.

It would have taken very little effort for the poster to write a blog article with the title they wanted, discuss their metaphor, and link to the Quipu article. That kind of article is pretty popular around here and tends to lead to some interesting conversation. But I suppose if I wanted "here's a randomly-selected Wikipedia article" I would hang out somewhere that condones and encourages this kind of behavior. As it is, I like the effect the title resetting has. The bellyaching about it seems all out of proportion.
>>Just something as simple as encouraging the adoption of language Y at home, and encouraging (not necessarily forcing) its use in schools, the media, etc. should do the job.

You seriously think people are simply going to throw away their linguistic culture, literature and other major accomplishments which are happening from at least some 3000 years old(Nearly every South Indian language will fall in this bracket) and then adopt one common standard which is not even spoken by 10% Indians? All for what?

Compared to any South Indian language, Hindi is a baby. And even that is saying something.

You're misunderstanding @jacquesm. He's not saying people will care, he's saying that prima facie this move could only possibly make people care more.

It's a mistake because targeting a journalist's family member is quite likely to piss the average journalist the fuck off. The Washington Press corps can make Obama's life fucking miserable if they so choose, and absolutely drown his agenda in press about Snowden, Greenwald, how and when the White House communicated with the UK about this, and a million other things.

They can make an oxygen-sucking scandal out of nothing. This could devour the rest of Obama's second term if it gets out of hand (and the Republicans decide there's more mileage in beating him up about it rather than supporting the security state).

The public does not have to care for this to be a huge negative for the gov't. The only people who need to care are precisely the ones most likely to--folks rather like Greenwald.
no, my friend is on the board, I believe he used to work for you.
Call me crazy, but I like the pumping lemma

"It has an ferociously intimidating logical structure, with no fewer than five alternating quantifiers ... If two are a struggle, five is cruelty".

Seriously, if you're planing on using the pumping lemma you should also be able to read and understand those five quantifiers. It's not "just the lemma", it's also the ability to read that and understand it that has some value in itself. Go on then to the pumping lemma for context free languages. I don't know about you but learning how to read the lemma and understand it, helped me understand the lemma for CFG really quickly.

Knowledge is always good, and if you have to learn something else to get the lemma too, then that's even better and what do you know maybe one day you'll have to know how to read a complex statement with quantifiers and not the pumping lemma.
It is somewhat hard to imagine the documents of people in the lime light having any chance of remaining secure under those circumstances.

Also, I'd imagine that if the NSA could just decrypt anything, they would have quietly secured the materials, copied the data and returned the devices in as unobtrusive manner as possible. Seizing and keeping the materials seems more like an effort to keep Greenwald from having the documents.
I think* that for those of us that don't have any language learning disability, or "glyph" learning disability -- all symbolic communication is best understood as flow of words/phrases, not symbols -- at least when you're talking about fluency/proficiency/literacy. I believe that's simply how our brains work.

Yes, spoken language is technically built out of phonemes (sounds that we can distinguish, and which carry meaning) -- but there aren't "universal" phonemes (hence most Japanese's problems distinguishing between r/l -- two sounds that are almost identical, and do not carry distinct meaning in Japanese, but do in most(?) European languages).

But the "stops" that allows us to "hear" the phonemes, and even the "stops" between words -- are in fact almost non-existent. This is one reason why we often feel native speakers of a language we've yet to master, speak "too quickly". Our brains are unable to recognize the patterns (words and phrases) from the stream of sounds.

I thnik there's a storng parallel there to how we raed word-picurtes, and not wrods. (Read that line again, slowly).

It makes sense to me that to be "literate" in morse, you'd have to stop looking at the letters, and start looking for the words. Sounds like a great way to learn morse code (and there might be a lesson there about flashcards for foreign languages as well...).
Which hominem am I ad-ing exactly here?

Plenty of sophisticated users have taken a long hard look at Erlang and chosen other tech, for a variety of good reasons. I guess Twitter is a bunch of NIH bumblers for passing on it as well?

Go clearly has a pretty different set of design priorities, not the least of which are static typing and native code compilation. I'm inclined to give the people running Google's infrastructure the benefit of the doubt in making these choices.
