Yes, Larry Page is a good programmer, but I wouldn't say that these people are brilliant coders, they are famous because they are successful entrepreneurs. I was writing about people who are known for being a good programmer. My examples (not in any order): Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman, Steve Wozniak, Salvatore Sanfilippo (Redis), Jeremy Ashkenas (CoffeeScript, Backbone.js), Daniel J. Bernstein, Alan Cox, Zed Shaw, Igor Sysoev (Nginx), Andrew Tanenbaum, Ken Thompson, Philip Zimmermann...

There are of course many brilliant programmers who are not into open source (like Philip Zimmermann), I don't deny it.
I can't believe no one looks at Guantanomo Bay and giving free reign to secretly killed supposedly accused people of crimes may/may not have committed without any recourse.

I think many here anyway can agree that Guantanomo Bay needs to be shutdown, but obviously won't be. What if later down the line we need to decide that the power has gotten out of control(if it hasn't already) and needs to be shut down. But can't because the terrorists win.

They wanted to protect Gagarin, yet he died less than one year later.
Yeah, that's one of the problems. You'd hope the agencies involved are only taking these actions where they have extreme certainty. And even if they do have that super-high certainty, it still is an execution without a trial, which makes a lot of people uneasy. Utmost transparency (probably has to be after-the-fact) into each case where this is done might help to put some people a little bit more at-ease about it. In cases where they get it wrong due to negligence, you might hope to see prosecutions as a result of the transparency.

It feels like this is one of those polarizing issues where each side is too scared to admit advantages of a different point of view in case they lose some ground. Everyone takes an extreme view for/against, the debate doesn't address the finer points of reality, and no one changes their mind or comes to more reasonable compromises.
> you'll be perfectly fine if it emerged that, oh, Indian intelligence agencies were spying on all US citizens by secretly arm-twisting the IT services companies and BPOs that work for most US corporations and even many govt agencies?

Yes. Indian spies do exactly that. IT workers are heavily background checked and audited for precisely this reason. File storage is partitioned and encrypted for precisely this reason.

Your entire train of thought is naive and childish. Spying promotes stability and safety. Because you know much of the truth in advance, you can give other countries the benefit of the doubt when surprises occur.

Consider what would happen if your retarded dream came true: the U.S. stopped so unfairly spying on the noble, just Indians. Then a nuclear bomb goes off in Kashmir, or some similar unpredictable act of insanity. The U.S. would be forced to assume the worst, go to a high alert status, and begin gearing up for a massive war just in case. Ignorance is suicide.

The concept of "algorithms as a service" is really interesting to me. Basically implement complicated algorithms well and efficiently, hook them up to a web service, let people call the services.

Seems like a dream if you really just like programming, once you've got your funnel streamlined and your infrastructure banged out, you can add new algo's and consequently money to your service in a flash.

I don't think flight attendants should be required to identify and evaluate each device and its capabilities. They are trying to keep planes flying safely and on-time.

Probably like most, I sensed (but didn't know for certain) that the rule might be overkill, but I don't think it's completely unreasonable and I assumed that someone must have seen some degree of at least theoretical risk, then traded that off against passengers reading a magazine or actually talking to a neighbor for a few minutes.

And, in any case, I certainly don't pin it on the flight attendants.

Something about that attitude of being irate or angry about it just comes off as entitled and bratty. Like, "how dare you pry me away from my precious device for a few minutes in the name of public safety".

Makes me think, "Wow. Get over yourself."
I agree. However, it's called "Transparency Report" and not "This is the best we can tell you to avoid jail" to avoid jail. Alternative would be not to publish anything. Any freedom-fighting statement (while straight to the point and honorable) is a quick suicide. Point me to a business in US which openly opposes core government institutions and does well.

On the other hand, if your workers produce Office documents (which pretty much all of them do) then you can give them Surface RT machines where they are in theory* using the same Office so don't need retraining. They also produce documents that fit right into your workflow without the screwups you get with alternatives.

Maybe the long term goal is Modern versions of Office apps but the Office port is probably an essential bridge to it.

* In theory because they may be most familiar with Office 2003 or whatever, and now they're faced with something that looks completely different.

It's easier to be known for being a good programmer if people can read your code, so if you make a list of good programmers you should expect open-source people to be overrepresented.

A few people off the top of my head who are noted for being good programmers but whose code is I think mostly not publicly available: Peter Norvig (though I doubt he's writing much code nowadays), Paul Graham, Sophie Wilson, Charles Simonyi (though it'll be a while before he's forgiven for "Hungarian notation").

(I should add in the interests of fairness that while I was typing that list my brain was angrily trying to remind me of Jamie Zawinski and Don Knuth, both of whom are much more open-source types.)
You're misunderstanding the purpose of the article. The author is examining the general tendency for hierarchical organisations to require require moral submission on the part of people who work within them.

Snowden at al are given as recent, specific examples of people who claim that their "moral compass" requires them to take action. It is entirely possible to disagree with them (and you clearly do) but its much more difficult to argue that dissent based on moral conviction should never be permitted under any circumstances.

Then again, maybe you're just trolling and I've wasted my time.

If "older, banged-to-hell, third-rate Chinese knockoff against the oldest avionics in service" is, indeed, a threat scenario, then "Things which resemble a Gameboy" would rate at least as high as water on the "Stuff we will not let you take on a plane" list. Al Qaeda can procure old Chinese electronics, or custom-modded Arudinos in casings which resemble iPhones, for that matter.

[Edit for background:

The case against water is "Water is difficult to tell, by cursory visual inspection, from a binary explosive. We've never actually lost a plane to a binary explosive, but we know they were pretty serious about trying that, and we wargamed it out and it looks like one liter of binary explosive applied to the right part of the right airplane means we have a very bad day."

Maybe you can hire people this way, for jobs you're already familiar with, or for very low qualification jobs (janitor, maybe, although there are probably tricks of the trade that are non-obvious, even to a "smart"(!) person).

But if you were trained as, say, a programmer, how do you implement this advice to hire a doctor? A lawyer? A typeface designer? A rocket scientist (SpaceX)?

Jeremy Hammond has been around for a while: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Hammond

He created a whole site like Stripe's Capture the Flag back in 2003: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HackThisSite

This part of his history is also sad:

Hammond attended the University of Illinois at Chicago on a full scholarship. In the spring of 2004, during his freshman year, he pointed out a security flaw on the computer science department’s website to department administrators, offering to fix it. For pointing out the flaw, Hammond was called before the department chair and ultimately banned from returning for his sophomore year.
What I have noticed is that once smart people are exposed to open source programming they have big problems going back to the modus operandi of closed source.

A good middle-ground seems to be doing like github: you keep working on your closed projects using open-source technologies and methodologies.
who's going to draw the line for the USA? This shit is 100000% hypocrite, what the FUCK would happen if any other country had killed so many innocents as the US do all the fucking time with it's stupid hypocrite bullshit everywhere?

Nothing fucking happens, just look at the data of how many innocent people including children drone strikes have taken. Why doesn't this have any weight in anything? Oh, I know, all the flashlight is always just pointed at any nutter in your country that managed to get a 3 to 5 bodycount or wathever and spin the shit out of this mess as to justify what you do. No wonder there's people plotting against you.
What has not been mentioned how curious the timing of this offer has been.

BBRY just did a massive writedown basically valuing all their newest phone inventory at $0. BBRY also changed the way they record sales so it looks like they have a bigger sales drop than they really did(they still had a very bad drop).

To have all these bad news and then for Watsa make what is effectively an insider bid for a company after participating in such negative news(resigning from the BBRY board a few weeks earlier does not count), smacks of something "unethical".

Why didn't he make a $12 bid a few days earlier? It is obvious Watsa knew the bad news and could make an informed bid.

A lot of regular investors are feeling extremely hurt by this. If I had invested in BBRY at say $10 hoping for a longer term turnaround, I would be upset as well.

To a regular investor it looks like the big boys not playing fair. Not that life is fair or anything.

Yes, that was my point, I don't say there are no good closed source programmers, just it's much easier to be known/respected as a good programmer by writing free software.
How about we try to get to the core issues of this systemic risk of authoritarianism and repression, and look at:

Ageism: Why can't younger people vote? Because they don't have valid opinions? Some adults don't have valid opinions. This seems to affect our dramatically in our modern era, as many of our older folks are still around and skewing the generational differences towards conservatism.

Classism: Why do we feel it necessary to have a political class at all? Bush Sr., Mr. Clinton, Bush Jr., Obama, (Ms. Clinton?). To me, it feels weird even asking these people to have differing views. They're all apart of the council on foreign relations (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Members_of_the_Council_on_Fore...). Control+F either Clinton or Bush. This in my opinion, is why we won't change any neo-con/neo-lib policies anytime soon. Expect less worker rights, more outsourcing, more free trade, more deficits, and more protection of institutions deemed too big to fail (impossible in classical capitalism but not the crony kind).

Apathy: The US has killed many people in Iraq since 2003. If you crunch one version of account, it works out to 16 people every day, for 20 years. Yet most Americans are more concerned with their own internal matters. This seems like it could be extended to anything being committed outside of the US to other humans, including torture, enslavement, anything. The American people have already shown that if their bellies are full, then it doesn't matter how many people their government kills. How can anyone fix this?

Anyway, this to me seems like the major hurdles we all need to get over...
They have to be nervous about something, right? Always err on the side of caution!
Nobody cares about incidental linking to infringing material. What they care about are streaming sites and file locker sites. SurfTheChannel is a good example, it was an index of links to pretty much any tv show or movie hosted on sites like the former Mega network etc:
