And this is exactly why they don't use the word cure: None of our current approaches to fighting cancer are particularly good as cures. They remove enough of the cancerous cells that with luck the cancer won't regrow.

But unlike a lot of diseases where we can usually pretty much guarantee that we wiped it out, we can usually do no such thing with cancer.

A cure has a vastly stronger expectation.

The day remission is something that happens in so few cases it's a rounding error, we can start talking about it being a cure.

Why not raise £338,568 for the Open Rights Group (http://www.openrightsgroup.org/) instead? They're a British group who actively campaign and defend privacy, freedom of expression, and innovation. They could do with the financial support, technical help, legal aid, and public awareness.

Putting your time and money behind groups like ORG (http://www.openrightsgroup.org/), the EFF (https://www.eff.org/), and Privacy International (https://www.privacyinternational.org/) feels more productive to me than playing an expensive system for a one-off political statement. We need to support and create sustainable groups with a vested interest in putting pressure on the policy makers in power. Groups who are well-established, who share your views, and who have a head start.

Expressing your distaste for existing parties is valuable. But it is easily ignored, especially if you do not intend to fight for seats.

If the EFF and ORG grew as big, influential, and sustainable as other pressure groups such as the National Rifle Association, then privacy and technology matters could start to influence policy makers pandering for votes.

If you're reading this from the UK, go ahead and join ORG today: https://www.openrightsgroup.org/join/ They need more members. £5 a month can make a big difference to them.

You should donate to the EFF while you're at it: https://supporters.eff.org/donate

Hacker Posts Facebook Bug Report on Mark Zuckerberg’s Wall
By the time he'd reported it, he had already used the exploit to post on a live, non-friend, account. As far as I understand , that's already a violation of the TOS.
I'm sure a physicist can get the details of this better than I can, but I'm pretty sure it's sufficient to create a subcritical, hollow sphere of fissile material and then slam a matching sphere of fissile material into it very fast.

The "very fast" portion could be accomplished with a steel pipe and explosives. The manufacturing would certainly be within the capability of a reasonably skilled group of insurgents/freedom fighters. The big question is where they'd get the fissile material.

That's exactly what this blog post argued for.

We sometimes raid the bulky refuse collection that is done every few months.

I guess it's possible, but I don't think that's the case here. The domain name is just 5 characters long, but it's quite obscure; it's not a real word.

We registered both .SE and .COM in April, and I don't think either had been used before. The .COM is currently parked, I'm seeing all of this on the .SE site.

The referals I've seen appear indicate Spanish clients; There could be a mixup (Spain = .ES), but the domain name .ES isn't registered by anyone.

I don't think there's much to be too concerned about, I was merely curious what this might be.

I followed the, quite successful, foundation and raise of the Pirate Party of Germany very closely. Many of my friends and follow activists from our privacy movement, AK Vorrat, became members.
I can not recall, money ever having been a major problem. This was certainly true for AK Vorrat* and I think it was true for the PP as well.

Sure, you would always like to have more money, but it never stops you from doing sensible moves. On top of that, not having boatloads of money makes you look authentic and fresh.
When you campaign, you spend so much of your own time and energy, that you happily spend some of your money as well. The listed costs in this article are peanuts for any group of people that can afford to start and propel a political movement. You certainly don't need Internet crowdfunding for that though it might be a good idea for financing an election campaign.
In my experience, there are many, many people who want to support your politics but don't think they have the time. Those people are very willing to support you financially with what ever amount they can easily afford.

So, at least in Germany, starting a political movement is not limited by money.

PS: There was actually some crowdfunding. The company Spreadshirt included donatations for every T-Shirt with the popular Stasi 2.0 logo. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stasi_2.0
About 11,000 Euros were raised very quickly and I remember the many discussion on "How shall we spend all this money."
In my opinion good faith should be taken into consideration here. It sounds like he didn't understand the TOS as it was not in his native language. This didn't hurt facebook at all and saved them a lot of trouble. I don't get why they don't just pay up and say thank you. As well as giving him a copy of the TOS in Arabic to avoid future misunderstandings.
The UK's "weird" first-past-the-post system is very close to the US and French systems, and many others.

Unfortunately re-running data on past elections would be wildly misleading, as people vote with the knowledge of which parties stand a chance in their seat, and hence a lot of votes that might have gone for smaller parties in a more proportional system goes to one of the biggest parties.

But you might look to the EU Parliament elections for a demonstration of how different people here might vote (with the caveat that the issues are different, and so people might certainly vote differently) with a proportional system:

How come you didn't have unit tests that tested this scenario on the server-side services?
Evacuation seems a very strange problem. You certainly can't be evacuated in under 30 mins when you're half way across the Atlantic ocean in a plane, or half way between SF and LA in a car. Also, max 30 mins is a very short time for medical evacuations which often run into the 2+ hour range for most transport scenarios.

Toilet is a minor worry and if it really is such a big deal to you (and other crazies who can't wait 30 minutes), reducing the passenger capacity of a car by 1/3rd so that a toilet can be added is a very simple and obvious solution that just means your ticket price goes up a bit. The toilet's waste could be emptied automatically at each stop in the station. With how much people bring this issue up however, I'm incredibly surprised we have no toilets in buses! You'd think this was the biggest issue to ever hit public transport... No doubt it was left out of the original spec because nobody even considered it worth including.

EDIT: Feels like a debate someone must have had when they first started riding horses. "I'm not going to ride up on that horse, what happens if I need to use the toilet? When I'm just walking I just need to bend down in the bushes! Nobody will ever want to ride horses - consider the human implications of being up in the air!"
It is utterly disgusting that the government feels that they can tell us what to do when there is pretty much zero effect on other people.

I can sort of understand government intervention for harder more addictive drugs, though it is horrendously misguided and broken (focus should be on rehabilitation), however for stuff like weed, MDMA, speed, even Ketamine or shrooms, the government has no fucking business locking people up for using, selling, or creating these drugs until they actually commit some sort of crime that affects people.
>Kickstarter won’t allow crowd-funding of political parties from what I can gather.

Kickstarter cannot be used to raise money for causes, whether it’s the Red Cross or a scholarship, or for “fund my life” projects, like tuition or bills.

Indiegogo has no problem with it though.

Does anyone know why that's the case? Why would Kickstarter be so restrictive?

Kickstarter also requires each project team to sign up for their own Amazon payments account. Why wouldn't Kickstarter just collect the money and then wire it / cut a check to the funding recipient?

Also, why does Indiegogo charge upfront while Kickstarter waits until the campaign is successful.

The whole crowdfunding space seems to operate pretty illogically. Are there legal complexities that aren't apparent to an outsider that force their hand?
As long as the candidates are not batshit crazy some controversy might actually be a benefit in getting PR, as long as everyone knows to answer everything with "You know as well as we do that we don't stand a chance of getting elected and anyone trying to make a point out of that are just trying to score points; the point of this campaign is to give people an opportunity to show their displeasure with the big parties stance on privacy; [launch into info about the point]"
That sounds like the Hobbit way of celebrating birthdays.. the prologue of Lord of the Rings is quite interesting in this regard.

..'anything that Hobbits had no immiate use for, but were unwilling to throw away, they called a mathom. Their dwellings were apt to become rather crowded with mathoms, and many of the presents that passed from hand to hand were of that sort.'
I think it's more a "who we want to be" kinda thing. Kickstarter doesn't want its brand associated with any potentially controversial/etc. topics.

"Your right not to be bothered by it" sounds really spurious. Being "bothered" is an extremely subjective judgment. If we outlaw everything that's potentially bothersome, that's complete paralysis... It's not a defensible right. Why should people hide in their homes to partake in something that you don't personally care for?
That's true, some of the Indiegogo campaigns I've seen do sort of have an "off-brand" feel to them.

Still, I wonder why Kickstarter has each project set up their own Amazon Payments account and not collect the money themselves? Could it be a legal or tax reason? And how do they extract their 5% if the payment is processed with the campaign owner's Amazon account?

I had a quick look through your CSS (which I think is built using Xpressive) overall I think it looks pretty good. Although you could definitely shave of 30% off by inlining some of the rules. For instance for margin:0 auto; you call margin-left:auto, margin-right:auto.

> With how much people bring this issue up however, I'm incredibly surprised we have no toilets in buses!

You don't? Pretty much all long distance buses (many hours ride; very few stops, usually clustered at the beginning and the end of the journey) have had toilets on board. Where you can get away without toilets is public transport in cities, and to some degree overland if there are enough stops (though that can be a problem). With a bus there's also always the option of just asking the driver to stop for a couple of minutes if it's really urgent.

A lack of stuff is really liberating. I've always been a minimalist about things, but the notion was really brought home after learning of Bruce Sterling's categories of possessions (via Scripting News):

4. Everything else

In itself that statement just sounds like advice. But I feel like the underlying message of it is "if you don't buy into the SF culture, we have the right to exclude you."

I guess it connects well to the whole "corporate culture funtimes" stuff we see in startups in the area too, but it all rings a lot like that one Las Vegas development. Why is it that people feel such a need to develop these cults?

It's fairly obvious he didn't understand the whole whitehat accounts he should have been using. English isn't his first language, so should we fault the guy for that - or Facebook who's an international company - with 1+ billion users? Or should Facebook own up to that they should probably update their documents - or give the guy a fucking break because they haven't done that? This is where you need REASON to react REASONABLY, and not just use a blanket statement to "make their life easy" in decisions like this. That's lazy and inhumane.

Great post Ian. I can totally relate to it and there are some fantastic tips that I need to apply to my work. I hope I can fix my procrastination and focus on one thing at a time.
It's an assumption that they even care or are looking into it. So far the resulted outcome is they are blaming the guy who didn't follow "their rules" (that wouldn't likely have been clear to him due to a language barrier). This should hit mainstream media though - because if that kind of bug exists, what else exists that Facebook doesn't even know about, that's being taken advantage of?
