I think it's because they expect you to follow the happy path, which is sell item, then collect payment, then ship. Shipping something without having a matching, paid-for transaction isn't a typical user path.

(disclaimer, I work for eBay inc, but not on the teams that decide that stuff. This is my personal opinion.)
Oh but the courts can find convenient interpretations of the wording. Like, the act of entering a passphrase only proves that you know the passphrase, so unless that knowledge is entered as evidence against you you have not actually witnessed against yourself.

Really though, there is a deeper issue here. What if I legitimately forget my passphrase? There is no real way to know whether or not I forgot it; will I be held in contempt of court over my forgetfulness? Will I be accused of perjury? Will I be imprisoned? Might the government accuse me of a crime, point to an encrypted hard drive that I have not used in a year, and then throw me in prison for failing to decrypt it?
I think he wants to make sure people know what they're in for when they leave the US to start a company. In the US, as soon as you pay someone a salary, you basically own them. You can work them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no vacation or minimum wage. You don't have to provide benefits, and you can fire them for absolutely any reason at any time. You even own everything they do in their free time.

That's simply not the case anywhere else in the world, and it may be surprising to people from the US.
this was a good reminder to me to try to judge a movement/action/thing based on it's merit and not just discredit it because of who's behind it. I agree with others that at the first sight of "Hatch" I though "uh oh? what now?" but this bill looks genuinely great.
If you can be compelled to provide a physical key, I don't see why a digital key should be different. It's not "being a witness".

That said, I'm nonetheless happy the EFF is pushing at this - it's that kind of pressure that makes sure reasonable calls are made in the corner cases.
> Many prominent Bitcoin developers are actively in collusion with members of law enforcement and seeking approval from government legislators. We believe this is not in Bitcoin user's self interest, and instead serves wealthy business interests that make up the self-titled Bitcoin Foundation.

I actually agree with this. I'm a little bit concerned with the role of the Bitcoin Foundation. Do we really need such a group to control the direction of Bitcoin?

I have a friend who defines pulling oneself by the bootstraps: ran away from home in impoverished Texas, lived in homeless sheleters and on the streets until she could be and borrow her way into a lower middle class existence.

She doesn't celebrate Xmas, or any of the social holidays, because they remind her of the home and family she can't interact with any more; every time she has tried visiting home, her relatives and friends try to soak her for all she's worth. They don't want to present to the world - they are just crave the momentary thrill of spending money on frivolous stuff, that they rarely see otherwise, and consequently value out of all proportion.
I myself often thought that If I went back I'd choose CS. It's a good almost all round discipline.

Only the black 16GB version in the UK store at the minute. Selling for £299.99. Looks like a really nice device. I got the Nexus 4 in July and have liked it but found it lacking in a few areas. Looking forward to trying the 5.
Like this?

It can still be about race even if you aren't thinking about race when you make that kind of judgment. If you are black and poor, you may not realize that having a clean car is something you will be judged on, and the lack of knowledge might be due to racism. You have to be socialized into middle class culture in order to understand the somewhat arbitrary class signifiers that white people with more power than you care about. Due to poverty, segregation and poor education, you might not get socialized. And if you've spent time around genuine bigots, you might not want to ingratiate yourself to a white culture that you believe hates you just to get a job.

Some of these standards are reasonable on their own. They can become unfair and racist, not because individuals are necessarily bigoted, but due social policies that disadvantage minorities and the poor.

1) this doesn't work for cases where your data are positive-definite.

However, let's set that aside. I apologize for being a bit obfuscatory. My point is: If this is the case, then the explanation in the OP is totally misleading, because your data shouldn't look like an ellipsoid, but rather a circle. PCA should only be used in situations where there is a reason to believe there is a mechanistically justifiable "hidden value" that underlies otherwise uncontrolled "independent variables", thus making a dimensional reduction reasonable.

This is not at all the situation that the OP goes over in the first part of the post.

Most of the people in the US don't need a US visa

I'd say about half of my friends in the US are not US citizens, and their most frequent topic of conversation is visas. If you want to just show up in the US and work illegally, that's fine. But if you want to do it legally, visas are a big deal.
Not sure about Germany, but if you're from the US look up "Dutch American Friendship Treaty" if the Netherlands strikes your fancy.
Agreed here, my preferences mirror this mostly. If I need to zone everything else out and focus in to get things done, I'll put on isolating headphones and music depending on mood.

If I'm doing more contemplative work and the surroundings are quiet, I'll go without.
One negative is if I want to immigrate and get citizenship, I would have to give up my original citizenship. It's too bad that the EU's start up hub is in a country without dual citizenship.

I'm only seeing T-Mobile as the supported carriers? This isn't supported on Verizon, is it?
You can always encrypt on the client, yes. But it is surprising that an entity such as Google doesn't understand that links between datacenters have multiple points out of Google's control where traffic can be intercepted.

I have never in my time in 8 years of math classes ever heard the term "average" referred to as the median or mode. When median or mode has been meant, it has always been explicitly stated as such. The more vague "average" being left to implicitly reference the arithmetic mean average of "sum total divided by count of values"

Behind the polish on the screen is the power under the hood. Take the Phone app, which for most people hasn’t really changed since the days of flip phones. Now, we’re making calling easier than ever, by helping you search across your contacts, nearby places, or even Google Apps accounts (like your company’s directory), directly from within the app.

Is that marketing speak for, "We're moving the Phone app into Google Play Services"?

Anecdotal, but I personally don't know any engineer having less that 6 weeks of paid vacation here in Germany. Add to that 12 days of public holidays, a pair of days of "company holidays", and ability to actually get to (fully payed) sick leave whenever you get actually seek.

Now, compare that to parent comment which obviously considers two weeks of vacation per year a good deal for the USA.
Just like that! I couldn't find it on the link for some reason. :)
I'm not sure if they will deliver, but they did accept my order for the 32GB version. The 16GB page does look "broken" to me as well - no 32GB button or white version button.

Galaxy Nexus isn't supported? Got a source on that? If so, that's really disappointing :\.
Because you can't stick a digital key into random data and expect the result to make any sense?

They believe the random looking data is actually encrypted data, data they believe is relevant, and they believe it can be decrypted by what they believe is a keyphrase they believe you still remember or had in the first place.

That is quite a big wager to throw someone in jail over, for a potentially unlimited time.

(Now of course TrueCrypt containers and the like still have somewhat of a recognizable header format - but theres no guarantee they contain anything)
Only it couldn't because that's not even close to what the article was saying.

It was pointing out that looking the part gives opportunities which might otherwise be closed. Therefore spending your meagre savings buying fancy clothes can be seen as an investment.

I'm not addressing the validity of the article's point vs yours, but the summary was not correct.
All US carriers except Verizon are/will be supported.
I'm using Seafile with a VPS. I had the VPS anyway for other projects and it's great to be able to access my files from anywhere. I'm really impressed with Seafile's polish, too.

The only feature I miss is not being able to host files publicly so others can download them like Dropbox lets you. I ended up with a workable solution though by installing a seafile client on the seafile server as well. I then used it to sync a particular directory with my PC and made that directory available through nginx.

I thought it was "Key Lime Pie"? Did Android get a corporate sponsor?
Re (2), the idea that LE is entitled to have comms decrypted has never been "the spirit of the law" until very recent legislation. In the days of "alligator clip on the wire", the law allowed the police only to intercept whatever the content was, in the form it was in - it did not compel the people speaking to explain their "code words", or to speak in a language the officers could understand.

It is precisely this fact which makes the current "going dark" argument an example of overreaching and mendacious, bad-faith deceptive rhetoric: encryption does not take away any powers the police formerly had; to the contrary, the demand for decryption goes far beyond traditional wiretapping principles.
Counterpoint: after the novelty of wearing the super classy outfit and waving the iPhone 5 wears off once you have a job, what else do you now have to purchase -- outside your means -- to convince your co-workers that you "belong"?

It would be cheaper to look for a job in an environment that is more interested in what you can do rather than what you tote.

That is, after all, what most of us end up doing.
>>>> This story is just too fantastical to be true. We're talking about a ridiculously sophisticated piece of malware, which has been found nowhere else, and is absurdly high visibility (people don't keep using computers which are obviously infected with something).

Unless you're a state sponsored agency looking to test a zero day exploit. What better way to test it then to attack one of the top infosec researchers in the industry?

Think about it. You get one of the top researchers to figure out your malware, bring in all his friends to figure out how it works and then publish the results - giving you exactly what you need to refactor it so it's completely untraceable, and non-responsive to efforts to try and stop it from propagating.

Well, a few reasons. Broomstick riding is supposed to be hard, so unicycle riding seems like a reasonable analogue. Another reason is that it has the similar aspect of falling off, while still being extremely maneuverable.

And lastly, I have this mental image of a nerdy guy peddling a unicycle like hell away from a 20 lb flying medicine ball, while another player cruises over to smack it out of the way with a baseball bat. There is no way any alternative is going to live up to that vision.

What is wrong about this model?

To me, one owns a domain, and ownership and trust in that domain is a source of authority. That authority will authenticate users, provide them with a set of credentials, and those credentials can then be used to write or store data. All that this method does is allow for the rest of the logic to be anywhere... client-side or server-side.

Hi! Thanks for going around to all the poor families and explaining to teenagers proper family planning and sexual education, making sure that all birth controls methods are both used and failproof, and guaranteeing that no one is coerced into carrying out a pregnancy due to cultural beliefs.

It's good to know all of these things are choices. It makes it a lot easier to be condescending and close-minded about the shit others go through.

At-will employment seemed like a terrible idea when I worked in the US, at least from the employees point of view. It's essentially enforced opt out of many protections you'd receive in other countries.
When one thinks of judging people by choice of fabric combination or wearing specific designers, "internalizing and normalizing" straight white male doesn't exactly come to mind. I think there are limits to how much this idea can explain.
"a surplus of those types of teachers leads to a surplus of unemployed teachers."

Yet, when budgets increase, these are the first to return, and the useful classes are never offered. I'm not arguing that art and music teachers end up unemployed first, but their existence is still what drives the lobbying for these programs. Government education policy (at the curriculum, not budget level), is substantially influenced by teachers unions.
Already bought the Nexus 5. My GNex is really showing it's age, and it'll be nice to have a device with the new OS to develop and debug apps with.
On first sight, this seems to be available in Japan though, which is an improvement over the Nexus 4. Small steps I guess...
You know what I most like about Hacker News though? That instead of bitching about the content of the article, we're busy debating the semantics of mathematical definitions that infer the "average" person's impression of society than caring about the content of the article... that's pretty neat :P
As a matter of country-to-country net immigration, does the United States gain immigrants from Germany, or does Germany gain immigrants from the United States?

It is hard to find comparable statistics, but Germany claimed to have about 100,000 US citizens living there total in 2011[1]. In 2011, over 600,000 people who were born in Germany resided in the US[2].

I think you chose a bad example. Company firewalls exist to manage risk and liability for upper management, not to provide any type of real security. If a security incident happens, management wants to be able to say they did their due diligence and paid for the "best" firewall on the market.
