I think because you have tethering, that is why the tethering option on your iPhone is enabled. When you don't pay for tethering, or get it for free, that option is disabled.

On the Nexus 4 and 5, the option is enabled regardless if you paid for tethering or not. This is because the phone comes directly from Google, so t-mobile did not get to install bloatware (custom OS) that disables the feature.

I call it "native" because it is built into the OS, versus installing third party apps that mimic the feature. Usually these apps require rooting your phone.

That's actually sort of common in the U.S.'s insane healthcare system. You are liable even for health procedures you didn't request, if they were performed on your body. This may be due to an emergency (ambulance took you to a hospital you never asked to go to), due to law-enforcement intervention, whatever. Free markets!
I've often found a ... well, not denial, but a lot of people who just don't want to hear about it. They have no trouble believing it, but doing anything other than keeping their heads down and ignoring it is at this time impossible.
Glad to see that. It really wasn't that much but it was no different than you see on most blogs nowadays.

I haven't been on HN that long but I was still shocked to see it.
"a swiss national" does not mean "the swiss national government", it means a citizen of Switzerland. Nobody is talking about invading Switzerland to force the government to do something they're vehemently opposed to; they're talking about cooperating with the Swiss government to compel a swiss national to do something. Whether or not this is feasible in this case is another question, but I have no idea how you suddenly flew off into a fantasy world of conjecture about the US considering an invasion of Switzerland.

As an example more in line with what the parent comment was describing, just look at what's happened to Swiss banking. Their reputation as a reliable tax haven has been horribly shaken by the US DoJ's pursuit of banks engaging in this kind of activity, and this was done with the cooperation of the Swiss government. This is the kind of compulsion that is being discussed here; compulsion with the express cooperation of the foreign government (even if this cooperation was gained through the application of diplomatic pressure).
I actually have a friend who became an NYPD officer (!!!) at some point last decade. Generally I've never had problems with individual police.

I think the drug war is bad for a wide variety of reasons, and the militarization of domestic policing (mainly over drugs, and now terrorism) is bad for everyone (including the police), but it's not because I've personally had problems with police.

I'm a white, upper-middle-class, works-with-USG/DOD, contracted in war zones, lots of friends in government/police, etc. person, so I have it exceptionally easy, sure.

I've met bad individual officers, but it's rare, so yeah, I generally do trust police, based on my personal experience. One of the worst tendencies of policing organizations is the "thin blue line", so they need to take aggressive action in cases of internal abuse to overcome that.

'tptacek is very well-informed about these issues and I hesitate to disagree with him because he's almost certainly thought about the specific point more thoroughly than I have, but I think the key is this:

"NSA documents about the effort refer directly to 'full take,' 'bulk access' and 'high volume' operations on Yahoo and Google networks. Such large-scale collection of Internet content would be illegal in the United States, but the operations take place overseas, where the NSA is allowed to presume that anyone using a foreign data link is a foreigner." (http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/nsa-in...).

I'm not quite sure what dimension is added to the problem by the fact that U.S. companies are involved, but the NSA tapping into overseas links doesn't seem to me, on its face, to be illegal. Indeed, that would seem to be the point of the NSA.
The LA RFP has requirements that Google has explicitly rejected in the past, like open access and no waiver/expediting of permitting.
The gory anal rape aspect of it is what made me pause; I agree about the 4A issues themselves.
I don't want to go too far, but according to Wikipedia's article on rape "the World Health Organization defined it in 2002 as 'physically forced or otherwise coerced penetration – even if slight – of the vulva or anus, using a penis, other body parts or an object'".

Is it a mistake to use that definition here? Obviously the local law is relevant in legal proceedings and I want to respect survivors of sexual assault, but what else do we call it?
What author wishes doesn't matter, you need decades of tradition, games and drama to have this kind of value. It already exists and we can just move it at will. One thing to do is to exploit it by organizing new matches with maybe some adjustments to qualification system (and maybe even getting rid of incumbent advantage). Other thing which author proposes is just scratching it all off and start a new thing - this new thing being yet another tournament (with it being long bringing disadvantages I wrote about in other post).
Again, it's like scratching Wimbledon because it's on grass or World Cup because winning it is easier than placing say 4th in Primera Division. Still people care 10x more about "silly" Worlc Cup as they care way more about anachronic World Championship match.

New system might be fairer, better, w/e but just because it's new you just lost many fans, interest and sponsors.

The sad thing is, on average most people could be convinced to go along with this, to condone it, participate in, justify it.

One doctor didn't go along and claimed it was immoral. Good. Now what about the other ones? They are authoritarian followers. They love to submit to authority. They take great pleasure in telling others how they "served" and aided an investigation. Someone in uniform coming in and barking orders, and a line of willing "helpers" forms right away.

Authoritarian followers are very dangerous and there is a surprising high number of them in this country, from what I can see. It is surprising given the rhetoric about how freedom, individualism, respect for human rights and liberty. Those are always touted as foundational principles.

( For those wondering what I am refering to, it is this book/article by Bob Altemeyer http://members.shaw.ca/jeanaltemeyer/drbob/TheAuthoritarians... )

Sadly perhaps, I sort of assume cops are corrupt already, I've just seen enough of corruption to kind of fall into that stereotype. It doesn't surprise me that they would want to abuse their power or would want to exercise sadistic tendencies given the opportunity. So that doesn't surprise me.

My present disgust is centered on the doctors and nurses who participated in this.

Kind of strange coincidence not too long ago we heard in the news about the doctors working with the CIA and the military that tortured prisoners.

Doctors are someone most people usually trust. But if you talk to people from other countries, you often hear how they distrust doctors. Ok, that sounds strange at first. They could distrust politicians, police, the military, but it is really sad when one stops trusting doctors. This is why though, because they have seen doctors do immoral things, they have seen them kill their relatives and harvesting their organs, or taking bribes to save lives, or refusing to treat people who have participated in anti-government protests and so on.

Are we headed the same way?

Yep, the threshold is something around 250 points, iirc. I wonder what threshold the downvote ability carries at the moment.
Part of me wants to believe that the police had some kind of evidence beyond "clenching his buttocks".

I don't think any amount of evidence could justify a cavity search, but I'm willing to wait for the judicial side of the story before I finalize my judgement on this matter. It seems so mind-bogglingly impossible that a judge would grant an invasive search warrant on something blatantly circumstantial.
This reminds me of the old horror story they used to tell about China, that when they'd execute a prisoner they'd send a bill to his family for the cost of the bullet.

Well, I know that the words "police state.." should be followed by something the police stated when discussing things like this, unless I want the discussion to end up with countless people pointing out that it is nothing like as bad as Russia was under Stalin, etc.

Well, if the cops got a "warrant", then they can do "searches" - a valid search warrant still in any way doesn't allow a doctor to harm a patient.

Yes, I received an email from Adobe shortly after the news of the leak became public.
It is staggering to me some of the salaries that founders give themselves. I remember reading a tip for pitchdecks/term sheets that if you put your founder salary as anything above 150k that is slightly too high for most offers.

That is insane to me. I make less than 80k a year, in D.C., with a mortgage and two kids while I build on the side. A cursory glance tells me most founders aren't under such strict cost regimes. If and when I get funding and go full time I would take the absolute minimum to keep us fed and watered (~60k). How a founder could do otherwise to me is unconscionable.
I'd rather get more evidence.

In general I would agree. But this stuck out for me:

the warrant was only valid in Luna County, where Deming is located. The Gila Regional Medical Center is in Grant County. That means all of the medical procedures were performed illegally and the doctors who performed the procedures did so with no legal basis and no consent from the patient.
In addition, even if the search warrant was executed in the correct New Mexico county, the warrant expired at 10 p.m. Medical records show the prepping for the colonoscopy started at 1 a.m. the following day, three hours after the warrant expired.

If that's true, then it seems there's no possible way to play devil's advocate. Hopefully the legal system will dish out some justice for him.

It's incredible that they were able to find doctors who went along with it not once, not twice, but five times plus a forced colonoscopy.
Hehe, given that you have been constantly attacking me so far, I think it's the other way around: I think you feel you are somehow superior to me. :)

You also need to learn to quote properly since I did not claim anyone to be "stupid."

Also, it has not been shown that the government has stolen anything. People are upset that the government has an indirect mechanism to access their data. And I am saying that giving third-party your data implies that other entities will get to it if they want it.

Not looking forward to your ad-hominem reply. ;)

The article is a little unclear - do I have to open a word doc, or is a TIFF embedded in a web page itself enough to cause infection? This may not be the place, but I could really use an opinion right now... I'm running firefox with noscript on Win7/64 and have Word 2007 installed on the system. I hit a suspect page last night, noscript blocked a number of objects, and at no point did I open a word doc, but... it was a link masquerading as am imgur link, that bounced me off at least two redirects (one of which was a .ir domain) before landing me on a spammy-looking blog.

So, I guess the question is, how paranoid should I be? MSE, malwarebytes, and GMER all show nothing (as one would expect if it was a zero-day), but going full scorched earth and doing a system wipe on both my drives would be a huge inconvenience right now. I feel like wiping the whole damn thing on principle, but you can't wipe everything every single time you get spooked.

PS: I did some testing, and it doesn't appear that firefox can display a tif file - it prompts for an external program (photoshop, in my case) and there's no application defined for the content type tiff in the firefox preferences.

Opinions appreciated. Thanks in advance.

It's not even governmental stuff; one of the sticking points we have is our payroll package, which doesn't support foreign places like "Wyoming", "other countries", and "Indiana."

The same issue probably applies to our health insurance plan - it's only useful in the U.S. and would also be expensive to change.
Because of drugs. And how much drugs could this guy even have in his anus if he was doing something criminal?

Think of all the resources (money) involved here. Now think of all the resources involved in trying to defend these actions. Now think of all the other things we could do with those resources.
I don't know how much of a solution it is, but I think there could be some bureaucratic/authoritarian pushback against this kind of thing if the American Medical Association more stringently enforced its ethics rules relating to the Hippocratic Oath. As a baseline, medical procedures should be for the benefit of a patient and performed with their consent, otherwise they are inappropriate and a breach of professional ethics.

This is already enforced stringently in one very narrow domain: licensed doctors cannot assist states in either conducting, or even planning the preparations for, their processes of death penalty by lethal injection. This has caused them some practical problems, because they basically have to get amateur doctors to give advice. The AMA's rationale is that executing someone is not a legitimate medical treatment, and definitely doesn't have consent. But this principle seems like it should apply more broadly than the fairly extreme case of actually executing someone.
The interface provides a drag-and-drop way to upload images, or if you're a Lightroom user - you can publish with the plugin directly from Lightroom.
And all you have to do to get these benefits is somehow integrate with twitter and a payment system. Which might be a tall order for a local brewery.

a one out of a thousand chance at making a million bucks has a 'fundamental value' of $1000.

The problem with valuing tesla is not that it lacks 'fundamental value' - it's not even that this value is risky. The problem is that nobody knows /how/ risky that bet is.

Of course... once the uncertainty passes a certain point... it sure looks like it's completely disconnected from 'fundamental value'

Personally? I can see the 'fundamental value' in Tesla. They are building a new kind of car, and it looks like a pretty nice car. I mean, I'm not really qualified to evaluate those things, I'm not really the sort who buys expensive cars.

Now, is that value greater than the huge investment required to build those cars? Will Tesla be able to scale up to the point where they are turning a reasonable profit? Will they be able to defend their initial lead against the conventional car companies, once toyota starts making an all-electric Lexus? Yeah. Lots of very difficult to quantify risk.

I'd buy Tesla before I'd buy Facebook. Long before I'd buy facebook. But I don't have money in either.
If the only problem was scale... how is it even possible that a VC didn't invest? You had a proven product, fanatically loyal customers (including myself), and unbelievable growth potential. Everpix is a textbook case for venture capital.

Even more amazing to me is why someone like Apple didn't purchase Everpix. They're in desperate need of competent web services, and god knows they have the cash. Of all possible futures for Everpix, I could never have seen outright shuttering as a possibility.
Yep, and the web is exactly the same as green screen terminals.

Instead, imagine VNC, but programmable with Javascript across applications in a standard way.

Imagine using a remote app, but when a particular trigger occurs (think a special button on the client) it opens up a new connection to another server, and splices the connection into the view, so you can use apps on the two servers at the same time.

But there is plenty more - Javascript can inspect individual frames, and use them as triggers for other actions.

>> But seriously, it doesn't offer anything enterprise would want.

The only thing enterprise managers want is a language that can dumb down the art of programming to a level a programmers can be managed like assembly line workers. And that is what Java does exactly, an IDE that can make a novice and expert work at the same levels of productivity, extremely verbose code that gives an illusion of people building something big(even if its down right trivial). And most importantly programming effort can be accounted like a couple of least important replaceable folks down the hierarchy doing some assembling reusable units of material.

Change this scenario, a good technology with merit makes programmers very important and makes managers look like desk clerks.

Enterprise Managers don't care a least about type systems, lambdas, or traits or whatever. Most managers don't have a remote clue what those things are. Can the technology enable them to manage herds of programmers dumbed down enough to be managed like sheep? That is all they care.

If you are impressed with intricate work, than you'd be more impressed with virtually any piece of software written today. 6000 parts? Programs routinely have that many object instances - and usually far more. Indeed, many programs have that many classes. When you include runtime dependencies like the OS or database, you're average application is several orders of magnitude more intricate and complex.

That is not to say that The Writer is not a unique accomplishment. It truly is - to succeed in creating something that complex in physical objects, and without the helping constraints that modern programers labor under is remarkable and laudable. But if you are a fan of intricate work, you can find much better examples in modern software (not to mention CPU design).

EDIT: down-vote me all you want, assholes.
