Focus on average joes/peasants who have been hurt/otherwise disadvantaged by the surveillance.

If you can't find such an example, you need to take off the kid gloves and explain clearly that endemic surveillance is a cause of AND an effect of totalitarian governments.

Be sure to emphasize the historical incidences (STASI, Hoover, present day China/Russia) in which surveillance has been abused in order to support the narrative that once performed, surveillance will result in abuse.

As far as the day of action itself, I'd shift your focus onto trying to drum up physical presence-- anyone with a campaign can flood the internet, but flooding meatspace is much more difficult and also much more effectual.

EDIT: I thought about my comment for a while then realized it could be re-worded and re-thought out in a very simple way.

Your movement needs agitprop. Find a hornet's nest for the average joe, then hit it. Focusing on Aaron isn't the right way to go about that because most people have never heard of him. I have more feedback; email me if you'd like.
I've never heard a real person complain about Google offering free buses and keeping the killer traffic on the roads down. It's just something journalists and other professional personalities like to use as an excuse to talk as far as I've seen.
Big Data Startup Eligotech makes installing and using Hadoop easy and simple

As they say, "The center frequency is located at 1/2 the bandwidth of the FM Channel, or 100 kHz (0.1 MHz) up from the lower end of the channel."

It's natural to pick a range between round numbers. so 88.0 MHz - 108.0 MHz doesn't seem so strange a range to be allocated. Now if one band starts at 88.0 MHz and needs 200 kHz of bandwidth, it's going to go from 88.0 MHz to 88.2 MHz. The carrier frequency will be in the middle of this band, so it's represented as 88.1 MHz.
If these[1] numbers are anywhere near accurate that simply isn't true. Median income is $72,630 and 75th Percentile income is $92,510. So at best you can say that perhaps the 20% highest earning programmers in US make over $100K.

People said that about offshoring too, and that didn't work out too well for a few reasons: (1) the CS/ECE programs there are lower quality, (2) cultural and language problems make it easier to work with a native English speaker, (3) there is a limit to the number of people who are inherently intelligent/motivated enough to be a good developer. So FWD.us might well succeed in opening the gates, but I think they're in for some disappointment as to who ends up coming through them.
I'm fairly certain their career prospects don't hinge on whether or not they can perform a few job interview parlor tricks.

FinServ is a great target for offshoring, even better than software IMO. The tasks are more rote/routine and well defined which makes it much easier to send it to a cheap team in India. The big concern is the competitive advantage of the information but if you just work as a clearinghouse then it's not as big of a deal since the information is not proprietary.

A friend of mine works at a financial research offshoring company and they were just acquired by Moody's.

It would still require abuse of credentials and sharing of data which has not been cleared (or may be legally unclearable) for public availability.

Just because someone has the ability to use their credentials to view information does not remove legal liability for the use of that data upon the institution providing the data.

The reason this got shut down was because there could easily be liability and security concerns - about which a couple of hacking students could give two shits.

If the students were, in fact, accepting other students' credentials to access the system in any custom form (pulling data for the particular user vs. harvesting no-account-specific data), and I were on the chopping block for IT security at the uni, you better believe this would be shut down fast. Every single user of that third-party system would be forced to set up a new password and reminded of their obligations for proper handling of their own security.

Presumably the hieroglyphics are generated based off a hash of what you're typing, so there will not be a one-to-one mapping of hieroglyphics back to data typed. Also, since the hieroglyphics are nonsensical and change quickly, you would probably find it easier to watch their physical keystrokes then trying to memorizing a stream of symbols.

That said, all logical bets are off when analyzing a hare-brained feature like this.
Yup. Plausible deniability only works if a strategy is unlikely to be known by an adversary. In this case, it is widely known that TrueCrypt has hidden volume capabilities, so there's not much of a veil of ignorance to hide behind.

Btw: there's no explicit restriction on N-level deep of hidden volumes, but TC won't automatically make the outer ones read-only.
I should add that we're starting to see some reverse movement in the US legal profession on this stuff, glacially speaking. The 3-year requirement for American Bar Association-accredited law schools has come increasingly into question during the past few years, partly a result of the current perceived crisis of historically high unemployment and lack of practical skills among (typically heavily-in-debt) law school graduates. A reduction from 3 to 2 years is foreseeable. In which case it may become marginally tougher to maintain that the degree should have the word 'Doctor' in it.

Edit: Another thing we're starting to hear in conjunction with calls to reduce the 3-year program is to institutionalize something like the 'devilling' that you speak of, i.e. to replace the third academic year with an apprenticeship year.
We need to shift encryption paradigm from local mindset "I own it and only I can read it" to globally distributed anonymous data sets: "No one (including data server) knows who owns and whats inside it".

Different person, but the videos do not load in either the iPad (iOS7) or Nexus 7 (Android 4.4) for me. As mentioned in another post, the content-type being returned is wrong for video/mp4, at least from the S3 servers I am hitting. Perhaps this varies and is correct for some, but it seems to be the reason for so many varied experiences -- some clients just ignore it, others seem to choose render paths based upon it, and others refuse the content because of it.

It's important to note that the actual number's don't really matter here. All that matters is their ordering (greater than or less than).

And your irrefutable logic for picking that ordering is what, exactly?

The reasoning behind the 9 and 10 on the 'no hidden volume' side is especially flawed, and seems to be a backwards argument made to support the number, rather than to derive it.

Somehow being wrong and wasting resources costs no points, but uncertainty and being correct costs points.
So, I was at the park watching soccer. My friend introduces me to a "world famous neurosurgeon." We all talk and he says that he'd interested in giving her son (now in CS) an internship, and then something about not trusting a programmer over 40.

Now, the kicker is that the neurosurgeon is in his 60s.

I think he missed the implication that if programmers must stop by 40, but neurosurgeons can keep going and keep up into their 60s ... neurosurgery is easier than programming?

(I don't doubt that in all fields there are people who slack off, but also in all fields there are smart people who keep on learning. It is very sad that 50's engineers are exculded on the assumption that they are slackers.)
Are you implying that workers shouldn't have national interests? You appear to be snorting at the idea as if it doesn't make obvious sense. Are you some sort of open borders weirdo? I mean, it was obvious to César Chávez that immigration hurt workers and he wanted it stopped.

Giggle, this article is hogwash.

Lets take some numbers and opine about poor people. I'm sure a few paragraphs can cover the social complexities and giant boulder on-top of soul feeling that is poverty.

Edit: No I am not going to do an extensive write-up myself.

Try out this experiment, be born into a poor county where you produce actual goods like automobiles. Then watch as your family has their pensions attacked by blood thirty wealthy fucks that have think-tanks put out articles in Fox News and WSJ how your family doesn't deserve the monies contracted to them. How the unions they belong to, made to counter the ultra-monied's inherent power, are "Killing America™."

All this while putting 10 hours shifts to cover you and most likely your elder's bills. This is what the author is writing about, yet twists it into some dry cut about why the poor don't work because they lack incentive or are 'economically rational.'

...

What's that? You can't be reborn into poverty to experience from childhood on up? OK don't bloody write about it then.

On the practical point, I suppose that's true. There are a few US universities that offer slightly shortened paths to getting a medical or law degree for students entering as undergraduates. I seem to recall that CUNY (City University of New York) offered a six-year B.S./M.D. program, and Columbia offered a six-year bachelor's/JD program, and maybe they still do, but of course you get a bachelor's degree during the course of such programs.

If we let judges infer non-enumerated rights, they could do anything.

No, they can't. A parallel argument against writing the Bill Of Rights was that it was completely redundant: every enumerated right was already protected by the limited granting of powers to the government. Remember, the US government starts as nothing and is granted highly restricted powers (not the imposition of limits on an otherwise unlimited government, as most seem to think). There are plenty of other rights, regardless of enumeration, which likewise the government is not authorized to limit.

The problem is there's an overlooked difference between positive rights vs negative rights. Positive rights, enacted by legislation, require others to facilitate one's actions. Negative rights, requiring no legislation save for active protection thereof, require nothing more from others than benign neglect. The whole premise of the US Constitution is full recognition of negative rights: lawmakers are not empowered to hinder anyone's actions beyond a small and specific delegation of powers, much less compel others to facilitate someone's alleged positive right.

The "create new rights based on their personal conceptions" you worry about are wholly positive rights, anathema to the Constitution and core American principles because they are based on compulsion of others to facilitate that new legislated/adjudicated "right". Rights, as understood in the Constitution, are nothing more than people doing what they see fit so long as others are not wronged in the process, and the legislative & judicial processes exist solely to identify & resolve these conflicts when they do arise.
