What fifth amendment rights? Was someone asking you to testify against yourself at trial?

And CBP does have the right to ask who you are and where you're going when you cross the border. It is their business, and has been since the 18th century.

EDIT: I should clarify because I'm being somewhat glib. First, 4th amendment does not apply to routine border searches, and it was the First Congress, containing many of the framers, that instituted routine border searches: http://blog.cybersecuritylaw.us/2013/09/23/david-house-dhs-a....

Second, while the Supreme Court has not ruled on the issue, the various circuits have held that 5th amendment does apply, but Miranda warnings are not required: http://fourthamendment.com/blog/index.php?blog=1&title=e_d_n....

These are both rooted in the long-standing right of sovereign entities to defend their borders.

Third, I'm not aware of any Supreme Court case that says you can't be compelled to answer questions at the border. Currently, there is simply no law compelling you to answer questions, but it's not clear such a law would be unconstitutional if it existed. So there is nothing wrong with CBP asking, and nothing wrong with you refusing to answer, and nothing wrong with CBP giving you extra scrutiny, within the limits of the 4th amendment, for refusing to answer the questions.

Fourth, I'm in the camp that thinks Miranda shouldn't even apply to questioning at the border. See: http://www.volokh.com/2013/06/17/do-you-have-a-right-to-rema.... The 5th amendment's text is simple: "No person... shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself." The historical practice and plain meaning of this text was, before the 1960's, that you couldn't force a defendant to testify against himself in a criminal proceeding. This was a specific response to the practice of the Star Chamber in England. It's a pretty big stretch to say that this should limit the police's ability to ask you questions, especially at the border where the state's interest in security is relatively stronger.
Many, many Filipinos travel to the USA without incident, and many emigrate here, get their green card, and become US citizens with no problems. But I know sad, unfortunate incidents like this happen, and they make me embarrassed for my country. The agents that did this ought to be held accountable and fired. There is simply no excuse for this woman being treated this way. Americans are a very welcoming and friendly people, but I know the Federal bureaucracy is not.

> That said, a minimal protocol addition like this, which just provides an element to wrap serialized JSON for payloads, definitely help with minimizing that DOM pain. I will propose standardizing this as a (very short) XEP (XMPP Extension Protocol) with the XMPP Standards Foundation.

Someone agrees with me!

I didn't find much support when I did exactly this last year, so I didn't push it forward, but: https://matthewwild.co.uk/uploads/xep-json.html
Good point, I should have run the numbers. I was thinking on cheap student rents. The temp work idea is still doable, but 2 days was too optimistic, 3 days seems more like it.

Before you go on about how expensive DK is. If you cook your food and you avoid alcohol, then it's not that much more expensive than other countries. You can eat with 10 euro/day or less (10 if you eat a lot of meat/fish). Most clubs in Aarhus don't charge entrance, so you can also go out for free.

So, yeah, I had a good life for that amount. But we need to add ~200 to correct for student dorm prices.
I am bit bummed that you have to pay for Git interface. Yeah, it is just 10€ / user, but still. You even get full games for 99 cents these days. And shouldn't this be a default feature in the first place.

Anyway, no-one is forcing anyone to buy it, so all good.
There are a few of the features mentioned that I already thought that make had. At least now I might start actually using them.

Being realistic, I look forward to adding Scheme to the cruft.
The biggest difference between Flipkart of today and that of yesteryear is that Flipkart is now a marketplace. This is unwieldy. There are 5 different sellers for the same goods with different prices, different offers, and different shipping rates. Moreover, the free shipping offer can't be used when you are purchasing from multiple vendors.

The other sad news was the closure of their digital music store. Flipkart please take my money and give me back the music!
Thanks. I'm definitely going to try DistroKid out with my next release.
Uhm, maybe you can still work, I'd try asking one of those agencies. Also, up there they love Americans, so you should have some kind of advantage in that.
Fifth amendment rights extend beyond the courtroom. I am not legally obligated to make any statements to law enforcement about my own activities. Indeed, border control points are simply yet another instance in which you should "never talk to the police."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wXkI4t7nuc

You're being recorded, both audio and video, from the moment you enter the building. Making a false statement, even accidentally, is a serious crime. They, of course, are allowed to lie as much as they wish with no repercussions. Ask any lawyer: making any voluntary statements to the police is a bad idea under any circumstances.

Furthermore, my travel within or without the United States is no business of the government's, as evidenced by the fact that there's no law requiring me to provide it to them. Every time this has happened, I have been allowed in to the US. Every time.

The troubling part is that this is really just a demonstration of what the police would do if Terry v. Ohio or the 5th Amendment weren't in place.

They see absolutely no irony in harassing an American, on American soil, under the banner of "protecting America".

Being late, I can cope with. The fact that large federal law enforcement organizations like CBP fundamentally don't get why we have basic rights is the truly scary part.
Hey bcbrown- I took the averages from the raw data: you can find them already scraped at https://github.com/jlaurito/inc5000 (inc5000data_cleaned.csv has only these industries).

You are right- the range is wider than I mentioned, and the true minimum is lower (the numbers in the post are industry-by-industry averages).

I used log-log graphs because they reduce the visual impact of outliers. You can play with the graphs yourself at http://blog.joshlaurito.com/inc5000.html if you want to see alternatives.

There are definitely biases in the sample: these are only fast-growing, 3yr+ old companies that want publicity badly enough to open their books to Inc.

If you are working in a company in a company with a similar profile or compete with any of the companies here, I think the data is useful for deciding how quickly to hire and benchmarking against any competitors that might be in the sample. Also, if you're writing a business/evaluating a business plan this might be useful data. For the rest of us, it's just fun to play with!

>If we're thinking about this pragmatically, the world attention paid to Haiti during the flood saved far more than that number of people, even those not directly hit by the earthquake and instead were living with diseases that are prevalent in the third world.

So because they may have saved more than 8500 lives in the same time frame we should ignore this? The issue at hand is not whether the UN has or has not done good in Haiti. The issue is that they reintroduced a disease which had been eradicated in this region hundreds of years ago due to their own negligence. They then lied about it and tried to impede the investigation.

Like I've said elsewhere in the thread - what about Tarsnap?

Tarsnap is also - arguably - designed in much the same way. What do you think Colin's response ought to be if the FBI/NSA come to him saying "we think one of your users might be doing $bad_thing, so we want your private keys so we can impersonate you, decrypt anything any of your users have backed up using tarsnap, and undermine the very basis of the business you've built."

Has Colin built "a Rube Goldberg machine"? Should all of his paying customers have their privacy violated because the only way Colin has to make Tarsnap reveal one customers data would be to backdoor a software update? Is it unreasonable to charge a sum on the order of $3.5k if Colin offered to set something up to allow only a single customer's software update to be backdoored? (Christ - I'll bet the FBI ran up an order of magnitude more than $3.5k in legal costs arguing that $3.5k was "too expensive"!)

Do any of us have to consider when building our products - along with all our _real_ concerns, just how amenable our technology decisions and architectural concepts turn out to be for state surveillance purposes? Are we to be scrutinized as though modern digital privacy best practice and effective use of crypto implies we've intentionally set out to make the FBI's job more difficult than necessary? Should any of our scarce development resources be squandered trying to ensure we've got built-in ways to comply with any possible law enforcement demand?

I say no. Resoundingly no. Sure the FBI have a job to do. But that doesnt make it OK to run roughshod over innocent peoples rights and to force business owners to back down on guarantees they've made to paying customers and then throw gag orders on them to stop them telling anyone.

I think you're wrong - and I think people who think like you are part of a much greater problem.

My company hosts our app on GAE and I could not agree more with this. GAE is horrible. We are paying close to $1000/month and we could get better performance on a $5 Digital Ocean instance. $700 of that is "premier" support which is a joke. We're lucky just to get a response back. Not to mention they broke Python's debugger(PDB) a while back and it took them three month's to fix it.
Sounds like a plan, scale it up! That would surely exact some change in a non-geological timespan.
Games that sell for 99 cents sell in much larger quantities than a niche product like SublimeGit. As for whether it should be included by default: SublimeGit isn't built by the authors of Sublime Text, but by an independent author - and he needs to get paid for his work, too.
Things like this really scary me, as a simple startup guy who wants to visit SV some day. I'm reading stories like this more often unfortunately and I'm starting to think if I really want to go to US. Getting a visa in Poland is also not very comfortable process since you've to give all information about your life to US authorities and still I've no guarantee that I'll be able to enter US.
Wow so many of these points are just plain wrong (not all of them, but about half of them). This is not meant as an America bolstering comment, but rather as a myth of myths busting comment.

America is a big deal around the world simply because it represents such a large portion of the world's economy (1/4 by GDP) and military power. Its cultural influence due to Hollywood and the music industry is phenomenally large. Its cultural influence is further bolstered by American fast food and mega brands (Coke, Apple, Michael Jordan) which have penetrated even the farthest reaches of the globe.

As a comparison, take the next two largest countries in the world by population: Indonesia and Brazil. If you go to some random other places... say China, France, South Africa, etc how many American people, places, companies, and movies do you think people will know versus Indonesian and Brazilian?

And Americans, like most rich countries, are relatively well off. When 1/2 the world lives on $2/day or less we're doing pretty well - as is everyone living in a high income country.

You're probably thinking of the coupon rate. The yield is a different thing.
Can you explain how ?

I use git on the command line too, it fits well with my workflow (branch features, "commit -a" when it seems relevant, rebase/squash when ready).

Maybe a more complicated workflow could justify an IDE plugin, but for me CLI is fine.

You're right, it's a total waste of time. Because it's unlikely to ever effect change, we should simply bend to the will of thugs and turn over all the information they ask for: employment data, addresses of friends, travel plans both domestically and abroad, complete contents of our mobile phones (including all text message history, image history, location history, voice notes, emails), et cetera. Volunteering this information to cops is clearly the better choice than exercising our rights because the exercise of rights won't actually get cops to stop being dicks.

GNU make already has a number of functions for things like filtering a list for strings matching a pattern. There were many requests for additional functions. There's some sense to integrating guile rather than going further down the path of extending the macro/function language that GNU make essentially has.
Not actually forcing you to pay for use - at the bottom it says: "You can try out SublimeGit for as long as you'd like, and there are no feature restrictions."

So, just seems to be a dark pattern leading you to BELIEVE you have to pay. However, if you like it, pay for it.
As a server developer I'm in a good position to implement this, and every so often (a couple of times a year), someone will ask for it.

There are two approaches that could be taken. The first is to attempt to map XML losslessly to JSON. This does not end well. JSON's simplicity as a data structure is lost, because it doesn't support namespacing, on which XMPP relies heavily. For a fun take on this, but grounded in reality, see XEP-0295: http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0295.html

The second approach is to drop namespaces, which means dropping the 'extensible' part, and defining some mappings of common stanzas (XMPP 'packets') to and from JSON. This is what xmpp-ftw aims exactly to do (on the client side): https://xmpp-ftw.jit.su/

I personally think the second way is saner, if you accept that you're closing the door on one of the main features of XMPP provides - interoperability between a diverse set of clients.

Now whether the translation ought to happen on the client or the server side is up for debate, and depends on why you feel you want JSON in the first place. If it's simply to ease your life as a developer, the client is better - just use a high-level library like xmpp-ftw and forget about it. If it's because you have some low-end platform where a streaming/SAX XML parser isn't available, you really do want JSON (or more likely, something even lighter) as the wire protocol.

What I remember from my visit to NYC in 2008 is that all tourist attractions had one police check point (metallic / bomb detectors) and the statue of liberty had it two times.

You are thinking about reactions as written out in a chemistry textbook. Those representations tell you about the reactants, products and maybe a few other details like catalysts, solvents and temperature. However, none of it explains the mechanism at the quantum or atomic level. Simulating the reaction with specialized software enables you to 'calculate' additional data points, such as, free energy, enthalpy and entropy among others, using 'molecular dynamics' (which 'solves' Classical and Quantum Mechanics equations for a given system and is extremely essential to understand movement of different parts of a molecule and their interaction with surrounding atoms to build a more complete picture of 'how' a reaction proceeds).

Today is a great day for computational chemistry. It is good to see the detailed Nobel announcement acknowledge other stalwarts of the field like Peter Kollman (who created AMBER, a package similar to CHARMm by Karplus et al). I have no doubt that Kollman would have received this prize had he been alive today.
The Verge on Nest Protect - a closer look
The UN was founded in 1945, while this mission started in 1960, so it's a bit inaccurate to describe this as "how it got started." This was however (according to the linked article) the first "peacekeeping mission with muscle."

I'm by no means well-informed on the specifics of the UN's peace-keeping in the Congo, but if you're going to link to the UN's role (and provide your own TL;DR), you might want to place that within the context of the Congo Crisis [1] itself. That might put a bit of nuance into the story you're telling.

And again, no Congo expert, but I'm highly skeptical that the UN intervention is the proximate cause for the Congo Crisis. You might want to start by looking at the role of Belgium, well-documented in the book King Leopold's Ghost [2]

And if I make 100 copies of this computer program and run them on 100 different computers, which one will I be aware is me? Or will I just be aware of being 100 different beings at once? I think it should be obvious that a simulation of reality is not the same thing as reality itself. For one thing, perhaps we need to know a lot more about how the universe works at the quantum level to even emulate reality faithfully.
It wasn't clear. If this is separate tests, this makes the process a lot more doable, and pretty cool.
That is my receipe as well. I live in Poland, where stuff can be hilariously cheap when living on a good "first world" contracting rate. In the last 7 years I've contracted for maybe 3.5 years total. Right now I'm about to end my last contract and have money for another 4-5 years of freedom. And my lifestyle includes eating out 1-3 per day, having a maid, brand new car, some travel. Seriously, I sometimes feel sorry for people born in rich countries (esp. living in places like NYC, London) who need to work much more than I do to maintain the same lifestyle.
