I would have no problem with paying $5-10 per month for each of Google, Facebook, and Twitter, as they are currently constituted (although as long as I'm paying money, let's say that they are 100% ad free).

The trouble is, if they charged this, then a great many people who add value to my experience of Facebook and Twitter would drop away, reducing my own experience of the networks and probably making me question whether it was worth the money for me.

(Google is a separate question because the network effect is less of an issue for web-apps, email, calendar, and so forth - they are still valuable for my personal use even without the sharing and networking features.)

Many people already pay similar prices for the higher end versions of Dropbox or Evernote, but again the "web app" vs "social network" factor comes into play.

It doesn't benefit me as a Dropbox or Evernote user if more people use Dropbox or Evernote, except in very indirect ways, whereas it does benefit me as a Facebook user if my friends all use Facebook.

That last paragraph implies that if we could observe wave-like quantum phenomena in classical objects, we might also see other quantum effects. Fair enough, but quantum teleportation has nothing to do with Star Trek style teleportation which the author probably thinks would result.

Your paranoia is not only annoying, but also quite insulting to the researchers involved. Contrary to your perceived 'the Man is holding me down', not everybody is out to 'deceive' you. The reason is likely purely functional, as I explained in a comment above, and I'd even agree with the choices of colors of the authors - they show more clearly than the proposed white-red where in the world there is more depression.

Furthermore, if you don't believe this particular studies' findings of depression rates, I would invite you to look into the decades of research into suicide rates, depression or just the flow of immigrants from the countries in the red in the map to those in the blue as a proxy for overall happiness and perceived life opportunities, and to draw your own conclusions.

That's cynical and easy to write from a warm chair in a western country.

The problem are the conditions that make sweat-shops the least worst alternative for a lot of people. It's power, money and corruption.

There is no financial gain for western corporations or governments to really solve these problems. We profit from the political and economical instability in these countries and therefore from the suffering these people have to endure. We make ugly deals using the World Bank and the IMF to destabilize their markets. We help to keep corrupt politicians in place and happily exploit natural resources in these countries.

But nobody cares.

Depression is over-exaggerated in Japan.

It's like those reports on how the salarymen work these long and crazy hours and are ready to throw themselves off a building any minute but it's massively overblown.

Virtually everything is overblown or sensationalized about Japan. It reminds me of those herbivore men and "declining sex" articles that popped up recently. Writers like to write about some obscure sub-culture or push some misleading statistic and then write about it as if it applies the entire country.

I lived there for 14 months and it wasn't what I expected at all. I was prepared for massive culture shock but it just never happened. There was some, but no more than one would experience on an extended vacation. Japan, in my experience, is just like anywhere else.
I'd rather he (anyone) blows his biscuits with a hooker than live a life of misery (at best) or go on a violent rampage or something, driven by sexual frustration (at worst). Some laws are wrong. Drugs, prostitution and indiscriminate surveillance, for instance.

Getting laid is a basic need, like breathing, eating and parking a chocolate hostage.

All three of these are things that have always, do, and will always happen. Accepting that, legalising it, and overseeing it results in fewer deaths, less violence, heath care for prostitutes, extra tax income, and a transparent democracy.

Amongst other benefits.

I think it is a good idea when founders are able to always project what is going to happen with money and adapt earlier, instead of waiting to be out of money or hoping in the next round. This mindset not only saves you from early failing, also is very valuable once you turn your startup into a profitable stage.
I don't really understand how that works, surely by the time the rewards are shipped surely the money is already in the hands of the creator? How can the scammer retract his pledge by that point?
Therapy and medication work to treat depression (not for everybody, but considered at macro level, they work). If you'd actually read the paper (which it seems few people commenting have done, or maybe you/they don't understand), by using DALY's (an accepted (by the community) proxy for 'impact' of a disease), they account for the fact that since people in Western countries get treatment at higher levels, the effects are less. E.g. if I get depressed and get treatment, and work through this in a year, and somebody in Central Africa gets it and lives with it for 15 years, then objectively I am better off and should be counted at 1/15 th in the study (well actually you can debate that - you can say 'I study the amount of people who get depressed'. Which is fine, but different, and imo not nearly as interesting, except maybe for when you look at the genetic disposition for depression).

I don't understand why people in this thread are so keen on trying to hold on to the position that depression in the West is high compared to other places, or even how they get to this position in the first place. To me it's quite self-evident that living in constant fear of being shot, blown up or just starving to death is more depressing than having to go through the agony of standing in traffic an hour before you can go home and eat a warm meal before falling asleep in front of the tv (to just name an example of what I've heard people as reasons on why life in the West is so 'stressing' and 'depressing').
They should accept Bank Transfer and/or Bitcoins to avoid this for high value donations if it's a problem, but I suspect it's an exception not common place.

> There are plenty of ideas for addressing the surveillance problem but perhaps it is time to take a step back and look at the "big picture".

The "big picture" for me are the effects of the loss of privacy. What was once one of the most horrendous forms of punishment/torture, is now mainstream. Also, this only gives more power to already too powerful of people (you already mentioned the nukes). I think we've already proven we don't need mass surveillance to not blow ourselves up.

> Another part to this is whether conspiring online actually constitutes a crime.

""To be classified as a crime, the act of doing something bad (actus reus) must be usually accompanied by the intention to do something bad (mens rea), with certain exceptions (strict liability)."" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime

In other words, it's up to the most powerful, who are also in control of the surveillance to decide this, not us. Also, the "big picture" issues here aren't really surveillance itself, but MASS surveillance, SECRET courts, and CLASSIFIED evidence.

Pumped hydro scales awesomely and is relatively low maintenance, but it has a fairly low energy density, wikipedia quotes 272Wh for 1m^3 at 100m (~30 floors). That's 0.272Wh/kg. You either need tremendous amounts of water, significant height, or both.

By comparison, your ultra-basic low-energy-density lead-acid battery pack is 30~40Wh/kg, 100 times the energy density, and a Li-ion is 130~200Wh/kg.
The Crop-Rotation Game (better farming through Ember.js)
This is just my personal preference, but I believe the naive implementation is miles ahead of the improved ones.

The improved version needs at least two movements to go to the other side of the world, doesn't follow the rotation if the cursor is too fast and worse than all, performs a gamma rotation for each non-equatorial point of the sphere.

Since we have two degrees of freedom on the screen, I expect to use them to drive the two most used rotations, and maybe have another control for the roll. In addition, we are used to have maps with North pointing up (and sometimes pointing South), so the roll is almost never used.

Just google it, its in the manual as well.

But the gist of it is PermitRootLogin no in your sshd_config and Protocol 2 (to disable protocol 1), PubkeyAuthentication yes Password authentication no

For this specific vulnerability those will not do, as this exploit is for post-authentication, whether password or pubkey doesnt matter.

Hence, you can add Ciphers blowfish-cbc
which will only allow that cipher to be used.

Also add MACs hmac-sha2-512 to only allow that MAC and none, weaker, others.

But that threat disappears if this information is public for everyone.
"Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

It did in the sense that doing it once stopped the bitching. Since I clearly had both the ability and will to do such things when needed, my failure/refusal to do them at other times could not be construed as lack of those characteristics. Obviously there was a cost, and continuing to put in long hours under less exceptional circumstances would have been a very different matter, but that one time had an effect that I considered worthwhile.

It's kind of funny to look back on that now, when I'm actually on sabbatical in preparation for a shift to less than forty hours a week. Almost the opposite action, but toward the same goal of asserting control over my own time. Different circumstances call for different tactics. It's easier to refuse from a position of strength and trust, which doesn't exist when there's no record of one's ability to step up when it's truly necessary.
"“I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me.” Obama was referring to the hundreds of thousands of people who are receiving health insurance cancellations from plans that do not conform to rules under the Affordable Care Act (a.k.a “Obamacare”)."

Lose: it's well established to be "hundreds of thousands" in many individual states, e.g. 300K last time I checked for Florida. It's several million at last count, and estimated to be somewhere near 16 million out of a total of 19 million, and all of the people who got Obamacare high risk pool insurance. The latter had damn well better be taken care of, or a lot of them are going to die fairly quickly after they lose their insurance Jan 1.

"“When it comes to my campaign, I’m not constrained to a bunch of federal procurement rules,” on how federal contracting rules makes the government far less efficient than his tech-savvy campaign. Notably he says he wants to review federal procurement for all of the federal government."

Given that the project was run by political and bureaucratic government people in the White House down to HHS's CMS, which was the integrator (!) until being replaced by contractor QSSI, politics infamously drove the process (http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/challenges-have-dogge...), and his people choices per that link:

“They were running the biggest start-up in the world, and they didn’t have anyone who had run a start-up, or even run a business,” said David Cutler, a Harvard professor and health adviser to Obama’s 2008 campaign, who was not the individual who provided the memo to The Washington Post but confirmed he was the author. “It’s very hard to think of a situation where the people best at getting legislation passed are best at implementing it. They are a different set of skills.”

Yeah, the woman he chose to both get the legislation passed and to implement it went to Harvard Law like he did, after getting a Harvard history degree....
Linux by default doesnt do randomization features, at least not ArchLinux - the most security aware distro (sarcasm). Ubuntu doesnt do that either.

What do you mean by memory management access control?

As ssh contains or references code to open/read/write sockets, thats what I would do - return oriented programming or whatever its called - to use the functions already defined/within scope and memory, to open a reverse shell.

> our social norms are influenced by the media

Sure. But they are also formed by our personal observation. If you would find out that lots of your colleagues, friends, family members and celebrities behave in 'strange' activities, those activities might not be perceived as strange after a while anymore.

Of course, you're right to point to the negative examples of Russia, Iran and Germany. Laws and norms can change both ways. This has been the case with antisemitism. It used to be quite accepted to be Jewish during the Second Reich in Germany but wasn't anymore in the Third. As another example, as far as I know, the Dutch had census data about the religion of every citizen, which only became a problem when they became occupied by Germany with its laws against Jewish.

But what now? Its all to easy to imagine a future with hardly any privacy. How will it look like? How should it look like if we take the end of privacy as a given, at least as a gedankenspiel.
